Xiao Xueer's Gasp

After spending the entire afternoon out, An Yang had said he would cover all of An You's expenses for the day, but aside from that, they had bought almost nothing. That evening, An Yang found a hotel and invited the two girls who had just graduated from high school to dinner.

An You was still somewhat embarrassed to face him. However, while quietly climbing the hotel stairs, she said to him, "How much money did Mom and Dad give you? Keep track of whatever's left over. I'll pay you back later."

An Yang smiled lightly without replying. He understood her personality somewhat. Not only was she extremely strong-willed, she was also stubborn to the extreme.

The three of them ordered a tableful of dishes. Xiao Xueer remained silent, while An You kept complaining that it was wasteful.

"Hey, didn't you just lose your job? How can you still spend money so recklessly?"

An Yang glanced at her. "You don't even know how to call me Big Brother anymore?"

An You immediately fell silent.

While eating elegantly, Xiao Xueer curiously sized up An You and An Yang with her eyes, seemingly unable to figure out exactly what kind of relationship the siblings had.

After dinner, An Yang paid the bill and asked the two girls, "Have you found somewhere to stay tonight? If not, why don't we get a room here?"

Xiao Xueer smiled. "No need, Big Brother. We booked a room yesterday, and we reserved it for several days."

An Yang smiled as well. He felt that although Xiao Xueer's personality was somewhat cold and proud, she was far better than his own sister. Just listen to how sweetly she called him Big Brother.

"All right, then. I won't accompany you over the next few days. You won't have much fun with me tagging along anyway. Call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, thank you, Big Brother."

An Yang knew that with An You's personality, she would never stay at his place no matter what. His rented apartment was nothing special either, so he simply did not invite them. In any case, he had only come out today to complete the mission.

After leaving the hotel, An Yang was hailing a taxi by the roadside when a bus drove over. An You and Xiao Xueer were already waiting at the bus stop with change ready. He sighed and walked toward the bus as well.

He felt around in his bag and realized he had not brought his bus card. Then he took out his wallet and checked it, only to find that he had no change either. His expression immediately turned awkward.

"Um... An You, I don't have any change."

An You had just stepped onto the bus and dropped her own change into the fare box. She turned to glance at him, felt around in her bag, and frowned.

"Neither do I."

Xiao Xueer happened to have just put her money in as well. She lowered her head, opened the wallet in her hand, took out two bills, and put them into the fare box.

"I do."

"Thanks, Xueer."

An Yang grinned and finally boarded the bus.

An You merely tugged at the corner of her mouth and stared at An Yang with disgust, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body.

All three of them sat toward the back. Xiao Xueer and An You sat on the left side of the third-to-last row, with Xiao Xueer on the aisle side. An Yang sat alone on the right side of the same row, leaning against the window and watching the scenery outside.

Summer nights came late. It was not dark yet, but many of the streetlights had already come on. The shops along the road had also lit up their colorful signs one after another, displaying the dreamlike prosperity of the foremost city in the southwest.

It was a highly developed city, and one with a long cultural history as well. Life here moved far more slowly than in cities of the same tier, so many people were happy to live here.

After spending four years at university and another year working here, An Yang understood that deeply.

It was a fascinating city.

He had struggled here through thick and thin, yet because of various reasons, he had still been driven out. His mood should have been depressed, but fate loved to toy with people. It had given him a chance to stand above everyone else.

Looking back on it now, his emotions were complicated.

After several stops, rush hour had long since passed, but people continued boarding the bus one after another. The seat beside An Yang was taken by a bespectacled man, while two men in tattooed undershirts leaned in the aisle between An Yang and Xiao Xueer, blocking his view.

An Yang glanced at them without paying much attention. This sort of thing was common on buses. Even though he had been a special forces soldier for several months, he did not sense any danger from the two men in undershirts.

Yet he failed to notice how alluring Xiao Xueer looked in her tight white dress. Her full breasts and slender waist, along with her long, fair legs pressed together on the seat, formed a striking contrast with her youthful and delicate face. The icy pride that kept people at a distance easily overshadowed An You sitting beside her.

To ordinary people, such beauty would inspire nothing more than amazement. But to people with bad intentions, it was a fatal temptation.

The moment Zhou Xiong and Wang Hu boarded the bus, they saw Xiao Xueer. Such a youthful and beautiful girl actually had such an enticing figure, while the faint layer of frost on her face only intensified the desire to conquer her. Based on their years of experience, they concluded at a glance that she was not only untouched but also a rare beauty. Perhaps once she grew a few more years older, she would no longer hold such an allure.

With their seasoned eyes, they could tell that the two girls had come out together to have fun. They might have just finished taking their college entrance exams. There were no friends around them, which could be seen from their eyes. If other relatives or friends had been present, then even if they were not sitting together, they would occasionally exchange glances. But the two girls kept their eyes straight ahead, speaking softly from time to time and spending most of the journey looking out the window.

Wang Hu swept his gaze around them. Two elementary school students sat in front of An You and Xiao Xueer, while an elderly couple sat behind them. The aisle was on their right, and beside it sat a thin, bespectacled office worker.

A gift from heaven!

With such a top-tier beauty and such a perfect opportunity, how could they bear to let it slip away?

They were not influential big shots, nor rich second-generation or official second-generation heirs with power and connections. They did not dare do anything that openly violated the law to Xiao Xueer, but they could still use some little tricks. Getting their hands on her a bit would be enough.

Normally, girls like this were timid, especially when they were away from home and without anyone to rely on. They were also thin-skinned. If they were harassed on a bus, they usually did not dare make a sound, fearing that it would lead to even worse consequences. Even if this girl could not help crying out, most of the passengers on the bus were office workers, so the two brothers had nothing to fear.

"A girl like this will probably end up in the hands of some rich, handsome man one day. She might as well let the two of us brothers have a little fun first."

The two exchanged a glance and quietly moved closer to Xiao Xueer. After looking around, they let their hands hang as if unintentionally.

Xiao Xueer froze when a strange sensation came over her. She looked up and shifted her position, but the man's hand kept reaching toward her, becoming more and more blatant.

At first, she thought he had merely touched her by accident. But she soon realized that she had encountered the legendary bus perverts. Seeing the tattoos covering the two men, her face immediately turned deathly pale.

Just as Zhou Xiong and Wang Hu had expected, Xiao Xueer could only desperately avoid their harassment, biting her lip and not daring to make a sound as she cast pleading looks around her. She was afraid that provoking the two men would result in even more terrifying treatment.

There were only children and elderly people around her. The young people who had worked all day were exhausted and merely stared down at their phones. No one paid attention to her helpless gaze, and Xiao Xueer grew somewhat desperate.

She had considered asking An Yang for help, but the aisle between them was completely blocked by the two men. An Yang was seated on the far right, with another seat between them. Besides, in her mind, even if she called An Yang over, he probably could not do anything. How could he possibly be a match for these two tattooed men? He might even anger them.

Seeing this, Wang Hu became even more pleased with himself. He grew even more brazen, completely disregarding the passengers around him. Leaning down, he whispered into Xiao Xueer's ear:

"That's right, just like that. We won't do anything to you, but if you dare scream, we'll drag you off the bus and let you experience what it means to wish you were dead! You're still young, and you have plenty of good years ahead of you. Just endure certain things and they'll pass, understand?"

Xiao Xueer's eyes were filled with terror. She covered her chest with one hand as sweat dripped continuously down her face.

It was not until An You noticed that Xiao Xueer kept edging toward her, squeezing her against the window, that she finally looked away from the window and turned her head. "Xueer, what are you doing? I can hardly breathe..."

Before she could finish, she saw Xiao Xueer's pale face and the hand covering her chest. Another hand was desperately trying to push her defense aside and reach toward her body, the back covered in tattoos.

When she looked up, she met a vicious face and a pair of warning eyes.

Xiao Xueer still knew to endure it, but An You had a straightforward personality and did not care about all that. She immediately shouted.

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Xueer's face turned even paler, and her lips trembled uncontrollably!

She was only a high school student from Yan City who had just graduated. How could she have experienced anything like this? For a moment, she was both panicked and terrified.

An Yang had been watching the night scenery outside and pondering the purpose of the Time-Space Travel Phone when An You's shout suddenly reached his ears, followed immediately by Xiao Xueer's cry of alarm. His expression changed, and he stood up at once.

"Excuse me."

He stepped over the office worker beside him and narrowed his eyes. One of the tattooed men's hands was still pressed against Xiao Xueer, while Xiao Xueer's face had gone deathly pale with fright.

"Let go!"

Wang Hu calmly withdrew his hand and clicked his tongue.

As expected of a high school girl, and as expected of the perfect beauty in his eyes. This feeling was something mature women could not offer. To have such a good figure at such a young age—what would she be like after growing for another two years? On top of that, she was so beautiful. This was the first time he had touched a girl like her. In the past, he had not even dared dream of it!

Fortunately, she was still young. Once she grew up, she would either become some rich heir's plaything or the secret possession of someone powerful. He would never have had the chance to touch her. Being able to feel her up today had already left him satisfied.

At least he had been the first to get a taste!
