Su Qiuge got on the bus ahead of time and occupied a seat. She was rather prone to light motion sickness, so she usually liked to sit near the window. After sitting down, she took her headphones and started listening to some music.

This position was meant to be occupied by Xie Xinglin. However, he seemed to have been called by the teacher to discuss a few things in the office. During the summer vacation, he was busy with various competitions and was generally always very busy.

It wasn’t until the driver turned the key and started the bus that several people came one after another.

Su Qiuge caught a glimpse of Xie Xinglin who got on the bus, still a distance away from her seat, as she gave him a specific look. Though, with how lively the vehicle was with sounds of chatter throughout, he didn’t notice her either.

Xie Xinglin locked eyes with Su Qiuge and then walked towards her, but just as he took a few steps forwards, someone zoomed in from behind him. Said person ended up cutting the line and plopped down next to Su Qiuge without saying a word.

Su Qiuge, “..”

Su Qiuge looked at Su Yuanzhou, who sat beside her very naturally, with question marks all over her face.

Gao Jing, who was behind Su Yuanzhou, got into the bus late because of his luggage. There, he saw Xie Xinglin standing next to Su Qiuge, obscured by a huge lightbulb in between the two.

However, the lightbulb had a righteous look on his face, not realizing how redundant he was.

Gao Jing, “..”

Not to mention that when he saw Gao Jing, Su Yuanzhou raised his chin in the direction of Xie Xinglin and said, “I’m sitting with Su Qiuge; you can make do with him.”

Su Qiuge was obviously annoyed as she asked, “Why don’t you take the bus that has your class in it?”

Su Yuanzhou blinked profusely. Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy, he took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to her. As if he was afraid that she didn’t think it was enough, he took out a few more and then stared at her. Although he didn’t say anything, he seemed to be showing his affection as his invisible tail wagged rapidly behind him.

Su Qiuge looked down at the candies in her hand and wanted to say that it was useless to give her candy. Instead, it would do her a better favor if he hurried up and joined Gao Jing.

But upon thinking about how miserable Su Yuanzhou was before, being forced by Director Xu to study intensively for so long, she decided to not call him out anymore.

Then, Gao Jing and Xie Xinglin looked at each other. Although nothing was said between the two sides, they could clearly feel that neither of them were in a good mood.

Su Yuanzhou, this idiot, always acted with a stubborn husky’s resolute confidence, casting an indelible psychological shadow on the people around him.

Seeing that the two of them weren’t speaking, Su Yuanzhou snorted and said to Xie Xinglin, “What are you still doing here? There is no place for you here. Could it be that you still want to sit with me?”

Xie Xinglin glanced at Su Yuanzhou and said slowly, “If my brother-in-law doesn’t mind the three of us sitting together, I won’t mind either.”

Su Yuanzhou, “?”

Xie Xinglin had a natural smile tugging on the corner of his lips as he said warmly, “Qiuqiu can sit on my lap.”historical

Su Qiuge, “?”

In the face of Su Yuanzhou’s increasingly angry gaze, Xie Xinglin continued to add calmly as if he was blissfully unaware, “After all, this wouldn’t be the first time.”

When Xie Xinglin said this, the image of his sister sitting on the man’s lap, wrapping her legs around his waist uncontrollably, appeared in Su Yuanzhou’s mind.

Fuck!!!

He’s even still calling her Qiuqiu!

I’ve never called her Qiuqiu!! Where the heck did he get the nerve?!

In the end, it made Su Yuanzhou angry.

He just wanted to point to Xie Xinglin’s nose and say, “How can there be such a shameless person like you??”

Su Qiuge saw that the two were not going to let up— one was blatant whereas the other was hiding a blade, but she felt like they were going to quarrel forever. At this time, the door was closed and the bus was about to start moving, so she slowly got up. Then, she patted Su Yuanzhou on the shoulder and said, “I think there have been endless topics of conversation between the two of you. Though they have been rather exciting to listen to, I don’t really contribute much to it.”

Afterwards, she said quite naturally, “How about you two sit together? I think that would be pretty good too.”

Su Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment before he watched Su Qiuge walking towards Gao Jing in disbelief, “Gao Jing, do you mind if I sit next to you?”

Gao Jing would rather be with Su Qiuge than Xie Xinglin, who was an uncertain and terrifying existence. He nodded vigorously and sat down directly beside her.

Su Qiuge sat down without any hesitation. At this time, the bus was just leaving and there was one ample seat left in the entire vehicle.

When Xie Xinglin saw this, the reserved smile on his lips gradually disappeared before he turned his eyes and looked at the seat next to Su Yuanzhou expressionlessly.

It was as if he was looking at a ‘pile of unkempt garbage’ beside a trash can.

Xie Xinglin did not bother to hide his dissatisfaction and disgust at all.

After Su Yuanzhou reacted, he was practically about to spit a mouthful of blood as he gritted his teeth. He thought to himself, alright then, let’s see who can disgust the other first. Two can play the game.

Therefore, the two people who were still fighting with each other through their gazes and judgemental looks. They were relatively silent, one portraying annoyance on his face and the other with disgusted eyes.

With everyone’s laughter and expectations filled to the brim, the bus sped off, heading towards their destination.
