Chapter 18: A Glimpse of the Flourishing World

"Come here. Don’t say anything."
As they passed a bus stop, Xu Qing suddenly paused, pointing to a bus approaching. "Don’t panic. Just follow me."
It was more of a habit for him to remind her, though Jiang He had always handled things well. She didn’t overreact to new sights and sounds, saving her questions for later.
Following his gaze, Jiang He saw the bus approaching, and as the doors opened automatically, Xu Qing reached into his pocket for change and stepped on. She followed, watching him drop a coin into the slot before they headed to the back to sit.
The bus doors closed and started moving forward.
"This ride is pretty smooth, isn’t it?" Xu Qing whispered to Jiang He, sitting by the window.
