Slinging her bag properly, An Qi walked wobblingly along the edge of the flower bed, her manner somewhat like the “little yellow duck” on her clothes. ……She arrived early! She was indeed too excited… ……Her cheeks were probably blushing right now? “An Qi, have you been waiting long?” Hearing the familiar voice, An Qi’s foot slipped, and she was about to fall to the side, but the next second she fell into a warm embrace. “Not waiting long at all!” An Qi looked up and answered with a smile. Standing steady, she saw Yan Qing was also dressed casually. A light blue cardigan over a white short-sleeved shirt, paired with jeans and sneakers, which matched her outfit quite well. Yan Qing saw An Qi’s black-framed glasses and couldn’t help but curve his lips, reaching out to adjust them for her. Holding her hand, he asked while walking, “Why are you wearing glasses?” “……Aren’t you wearing them too?” An Qi blushed, lowering her head and stammering in response. “By the way, there’s something I need to confess first.” Yan Qing pushed his glasses, his fingertips playfully tracing her palm. “What is it?” An Qi gripped her hand, trying to prevent Yan Qing’s fingers from being too unruly. “I… don’t actually have myopia.” He blinked innocently, removing his glasses with his free hand while maintaining a steady pace, as if proving his words. “Ah?!” An Qi widened her eyes, looking at the boy in front of her who wasn’t wearing glasses but still made her heart flutter when he smiled, and murmured, “Then why do you wear glasses?” “Because… I was a very shy child growing up.” Yan Qing, who now seemed completely unabashed, put his glasses back on with a slight smile, “I was afraid of making eye contact when speaking to people, so my second brother bought me a pair of plain glasses. This way, I would feel more comfortable… and over time, I got used to wearing them.” “I see!” An Qi mimicked Yan Qing’s movement and posture, pushing her glasses… which slipped again, making Yan Qing’s smile even more pronounced. The two were chatting enthusiastically and naturally didn’t notice Dai Xue behind them, wearing a hat, long-sleeved jacket, and sunglasses. She originally thought her actions were somewhat absurd, but seeing Yan Qing and An Qi chatting so happily, she suddenly felt this was a good opportunity! A chance to clearly see their happiness and completely give up hope! Dai Xue, hidden behind a tree, was concentrating on her thoughts when she noticed in her peripheral vision a “middle-aged man” across from her, also wearing a long-sleeved jacket, hat, and sunglasses… doing exactly the same thing. “……” The “middle-aged man” seemed to have noticed Dai Xue’s presence, lowering his sunglasses with his index finger and looking her up and down. “……” Dai Xue glanced at him sideways, pushing her sunglasses stylishly with her index finger. The two seemed to dislike each other intensely, standing straight and continuing their “stalking mission”. “Yan Qing, let’s take the 581 bus!” Seeming to have suggested a place, An Qi proposed. “Okay… the bus is here!” Responding, Yan Qing saw the 581 bus arriving at the station and quickly pulled An Qi to run over, with the two followers frantically chasing and finally boarding the bus. The number of passengers was overwhelming, which also worked to their advantage. As Yan Qing and An Qi squeezed to the back door, the followers quietly positioned themselves in the middle of the bus. The bus started moving, swaying, with people around them like walls, pressing towards An Qi. She frowned, feeling she was about to be squeezed into a suspended state by the “human wall”. Yan Qing regretted taking the bus, especially when he saw a man in the “human wall” taking the opportunity to grope around, causing his eyes to narrow coldly. “Next stop, D Street. Passengers please move towards the back door…” The bus braked suddenly, and Yan Qing quickly wrapped his arm around An Qi’s waist, preventing her from flying out due to inertia. “Ah… thank you.” An Qi, feeling lingering fear, leaned towards Yan Qing’s direction. The two followers were completely crushed by the “human wall”, without even a chance to fall. “An Qi, turn sideways.” Hearing Yan Qing’s words in her ear, An Qi obediently turned, facing towards him. Yan Qing simply used his light blue jacket to “wrap” An Qi, holding her firmly to prevent her from falling, while his other hand gripped the handrail, coldly staring at someone with “inappropriate hands”.
