Chapter 1696 - 1690: Foreign Chick
But Yang Ruoxi started to take things seriously.
After the two of them finished their conversation, she stared ahead, constantly waiting for people to board the bus.
Her eager anticipation made Chen Yang amused but he did not interrupt her, just letting her watch.
About ten minutes later, as the bus was about to depart, suddenly more people arrived.
Three middle-aged men, somewhat scruffy and unshaven, boarded the bus, carrying two bags.
As soon as they got on the bus, Yang Ruoxi proudly turned to Chen Yang and said, "See, three uncles have come. We aren’t just a senior citizen tour group anymore, are we!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang turned his head and glanced down the bus aisle.
At the first sight of those three middle-aged men, Chen Yang instinctively felt a bit uneasy, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason.
"Alright, I get it, we’re not a senior citizen tour group." Unwilling to argue with Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang smiled and nodded, admitting defeat.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Chen Yang had admitted defeat, Yang Ruoxi gave a proud little huff and said nothing more.
The bus was about to start moving when another person boarded from outside.
And it was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign beauty.
The beauty wore relaxed and casual clothing, had a bag on her back resembling a badminton racket case, sported sneakers, and had a ponytail.
She exuded an aura of youthful vibrancy and athleticism.
As soon as she got on the bus, she immediately attracted the attention of most passengers.
In the small town, foreigners were rare.
Let alone on a bus like this.
"See? Here comes another one, and she’s about our age, right? Now are you convinced and out of words?" Yang Ruoxi, after glancing at the foreign beauty a few times, quickly laughed and spoke to Chen Yang.
"Yes, you’re right."
Chen Yang naturally nodded with a smile.
What else could he say?
Seeing such a foreigner on the bus, Chen Yang was quite surprised too.
But he didn’t pay much attention to her; after a quick look, he withdrew his gaze and quietly reclined in his seat.
After boarding, the foreign beauty walked down the aisle towards Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi’s seat area.
She even paused momentarily near Chen Yang’s hand.
In that instant she stopped, Chen Yang, for some reason, sensed a slight feeling of danger emanating from her.
But it wasn’t intense; it was just a fleeting moment.
Chen Yang instinctively looked up at her, realizing she didn’t exhibit any abnormal behavior – she was merely standing by, looking for a seat.
Eventually, she took a seat at a spot down to the right of Chen Yang.
Feeling that sense of danger, Chen Yang thought momentarily that perhaps this woman was an assassin sent by the Gu Family or someone like that.
However, seeing her appear extremely natural without any peculiar behavior, Chen Yang slightly let down his guard.
"You lecher, haven’t you seen a foreigner before? Do you really need to keep staring?"
At this time, Yang Ruoxi suddenly glared at Chen Yang, disgruntled, and murmured.
Chen Yang felt helpless.
"What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? When she walked by, I noticed a slight sense of danger, so I paid a bit more attention, nothing else." Chen Yang explained.
"Hmph, alright you, I don’t believe your nonsense." Yang Ruoxi gave Chen Yang a side-eye and said no more.
Chen Yang, feeling helpless, didn’t offer further explanations. He shook his head with a smile, waiting for the bus to depart.
As all the seats on the bus were filled, the vehicle started moving, carrying everyone out of the town.
Because most passengers on the bus were elderly, the journey was never quiet.
The grandpas and grandmas chatted, joked, and sang along the way, filling the ride with music and dance.
Although a bit noisy, the atmosphere remained relaxed and joyful.
The bus traveled over half an hour or so, arriving at a small scenic spot on the outskirts of the town.
Calling it a scenic spot, in reality, it was merely a developed mountain area that looked somewhat appealing.
Upon arrival, Chen Yang instantly recognized that this area belonged to the same mountain range as Liuhai Village.
Simply a different location.
Arrived at the destination, the bus guide immediately organized everyone to start exploring the area.
Perhaps due to the exhaustiveness of the trip, there wasn’t much novel or interesting happening.
However, the air here was indeed good – a refreshing break for accompanying Yang Ruoxi.
Throughout the excursion, Chen Yang intentionally or unintentionally observed the foreign beauty among them.
He noticed that the foreign beauty seemed to be particularly interested in the scenic views of this area.
Since getting off the bus, her eyes had been transfixed on the surroundings, exceptionally focused.
Others took in the sights while interacting with others or paying attention to what the guide was saying.
But she was entirely different, focused to the extent that it appeared as if there was no one around, as if she was alone.
Her behavior puzzled Chen Yang, but inwardly, he gradually lowered his guard.
Though peculiar, she definitely wasn’t here targeting him, or else she wouldn’t be this conspicuous.
They spent more than two hours walking with the guide through the scenic spot.
Having seen what needed to be seen, the guide gathered everyone for the return trip.
On the way back, perhaps due to fatigue, the elderly folks were much quieter, barely making any noise.
Even if there was talking, it was softly spoken, not deliberately disturbing others resting nearby.
Yang Ruoxi was seated and discussing dinner plans with Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, why don’t we go to Niu Ming’s place for dinner? We haven’t tasted wild hill cattle in ages." Yang Ruoxi suggested.
"That’s fine, up to you. Today is your day, your happiness matters." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
Yang Ruoxi chuckled in response: "Alright, it’s settled then."
"Hmm."
Chen Yang gently nodded, agreeing, and said nothing more.
Just when he thought today’s "trip" was about to end perfectly, the three middle-aged men seated in the back suddenly stood up and walked toward the front of the bus.
The bus was in mid-journey, their sudden movement in the aisle easily attracted attention.
"Gentlemen, please don’t move around while the bus is moving; it’s easy to cause accidents."
The guide ahead noticed the three of them and immediately stood up to stop them.
However, the leading middle-aged man, upon hearing this, not only did not stop but instead showed a fierce expression.
"Accident? It’s already happened!" The middle-aged man sneered, abruptly pulling out a large machete from his bag, shouting angrily at the guide: "Squat down! Tell the driver to pull over on the side!"
"Ah!!"
Seeing the suddenly wielded machete, many elderly passengers were bewildered and panicked, and the young female guide screamed in terror.
The quiet atmosphere was immediately shattered, and the situation within the bus escalated into a state of tension!
