Even if he thought the question was weird, Gu Yansheng did not ask her about it.
The call ended within minutes as they only exchanged a short conversation.
After dinner and a bath, Zuo Weiyi lay down on the bed.
As she was listening to the rain pitter-pattering, her mind wandered to the incident during the day.
A sudden umbrella and the men in black that came to save her. What on Earth was up with all of these?
Questions after questions floated in her mind but Zuo Weiyi sunk into sleep when the night stretched on.
***
The next day.
Because Gu Yansheng had gone to Country C, Zuo Weiyi could only take the bus to Zuoyue Corporation.
Looking at the crowds on the street from the bus, Zuo Weiyi realized that this common bus suited her best.
Every time she sat in luxurious cars, she always felt out of place.
A robotic voice in the bus sweetly reported each and every destination to come.
Due to the morning rush hour, the bus was especially crowded.
Fortunately, she boarded the bus at the second station, which granted her a seat and prevented her from being packed like sardines with the others.
The bus stopped again and an old man entered.
Zuo Weiyi was sitting directly in front of the entrance. When she saw the old man, she was hesitating to give up her seat for him.
Even though he looked old with his white hair, but his complexion was still as vibrant as a teen’s, spirited even!
But then again, he was holding a staff, which perplexed her.
She looked around but no one was willing to stand up.
She decided to stay quiet and sat down silently until her destination.
However, the old man chose to stand beside her, making her uneasy.
Respecting the elderly, this was the most common etiquette, even a child knew about it. So, should she give up her seat?
After thinking for a long while, Zuo Weiyi finally stood up and looked at the old man with a gentle smile.
“Mister, please sit.”
The elderly raised her gaze, he was visibly surprised at Zuo Weiyi’s kindness.
So, taking the bus did have its fun after all.
He grinned. “Thank you, miss.”
After he said his thanks, he sat down on the seat. As for Zuo Weiyi, she slightly backed away to a space behind him and held the handle, patiently waiting for the bus to arrive at Zuoyue Corporation.
There were only three stations left anyway.
Yet, when the bus arrived at the second last station, the old man stood up.
“Miss, thank you for your seat. I will alight here.”
He expressed his gratitude and turned around to leave.
As he stood up, Zuo Weiyi saw something fell from his clothes.
She glanced and saw that it was a wallet.
She was about to alert the old man about his wallet.
However, before she could do so, another man sat on the place and picked up the wallet, quietly tucking it away.
Zuo Weiyi was stunned by his action, but she quickly felt angry about it.
When she saw the old man was alighting the bus, she spoke up.
“Mister, please wait!”
The elderly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her in confusion.
Zuo Weiyi dropped her gaze onto the young man’s face.
She stretched out her hand. “Take it out!”
That man looked at her hand and feigned innocence. “What?”
