Cannon Fodder Through Books

Chapter 10
The bus at noon is always late.

Xi Xiao endured the scorching heat, hooking two schoolbag straps with her hands, and scrolling up and down again and again.

The part of Xijiang Senior High School is divided into accommodation and commuting.

Because of poverty, she needs to reimburse the accommodation expenses by herself, so she can only choose to go to school.

"Route 302 has entered the station."

The electronic signage on the platform issued a reminder.

When the car door opened, Xi Xiao waited for a while before putting her legs on it.

"Pa—" the door was closed, and the bus slowly restarted.

"I didn't expect this little aunt to be cold and naughty, looking so delicate, but I didn't expect her heart to be bad."

"Tsk, who's to say it's not? You're such an adult, you don't know how to let the old man know. Fortunately, we got on the bus early."

The conversation between the two old ladies at the front of the car, ridiculed and sarcastic, overwhelmed the music station on the bus.

Xi Xiao stood at the back door, clenched the armrest in front of her, keeping her face calm.

The cooling effect of the air conditioner in the car was terrible, she let go of her hand, trying to wipe the sweat from her nose.

"Toot!" The car braked suddenly.

Inertia carried Xi Xiao forward and slammed into the ear of the middle-aged woman next to her.

The man covered half of his face and said sarcastically, "You little girl, can you learn a little bit better!"

Countless pairs of eyes in the car looked at the two of them instantly.

Xi Xiao held the frame of the mirror and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't stand firmly just now."

"I think you did it on purpose!" She said viciously, "At such a young age, I didn't even know how to respect the old and love the young in the car. I really don't know how your parents taught you."

The temperature of the bus is getting colder and colder, and the gossip that is rising gradually is filled with scum.

At this time, the two old ladies got out of their seats, walked towards the back door tremblingly, and muttered, "I am old, but I can't compare with young people. Oh, you child, can't you let me go?"

Xi Xiao just stood in front of the back door, and was insulted again.

She couldn't help retorting: "Anyway, I don't respect the old and love the young, what else do you want?"

"You—" the two old men were so angry that they trembled.

"Look at it, everyone! This high school student is really amazing. Hey, he's still from Xijiang International High School. I really can't tell."

The middle-aged woman's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the name of the school in gilt letters on the school uniform that Xi Xiao was hiding under her schoolbag.

The atmosphere in the car was finally ignited, and the buzz of discussion followed.

Xijiang International High School! A school where rich people gather! Although it is a well-known aristocratic high school, the college entrance examination rate can reach 60.00% every year!
In the eyes of these people, as long as a person studies well, it seems that everything is fine for that person.

It stands to reason that such a noble school should not produce top-notch students?
why is this little girl
Xi Xiao's two pale fingers tapped on the smooth silver-painted armrest.

very annoying.

There was a long-lost hot feeling in the chest.

But no, she couldn't do it.

"Excuse me, why don't I respect the old and love the young when I squeeze the car?"

"Where? You really can tell nonsense," the woman raised her voice, "We all saw you pushing an old man in his 70s and [-]s!"

"That's right, this kid is really spoiled now." One of the old people echoed.

Xi Xiao evoked a smile, extremely clean, but covered with snow.

"Yes, then did you see that he touched me three times?"

She patted her ass.

The middle-aged woman choked, and spoke harshly for a while, "Who knows if you're lying, anyway, no one saw it, and besides, these two old ladies are about to get off the bus, why didn't they see you let go?"

"Let? They are so fat, they can't get off one by one, and I have to give way?" Xi Xiao said, holding on to the armrest tightly and keeping still.

She stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "There are three surveillance cameras there. If you are bored, you can go to the head office and tune up the video to see if I am lying or not."

The middle-aged woman's complexion was a little tense, probably because she had never seen such a calm young girl.

"Passengers, please pay attention, Chaoyang Road is here. Passengers who get off the bus, please get off through the back door——"

The back door of the car was opened, and the broken hair on Xi Xiao's forehead was blown violently.

Before she could react, the two old men passed by her one by one, walking hurriedly on the road, not at all as sick and weak as before.

"I saw it too. It was the grandpa who first touched the little sister."

Suddenly there was a small mosquito-like sound at the front door, breaking the moment of peace.It was a shy little girl who spoke.

"If this young lady didn't pull me, I would have been pushed down by that person."

she added.

The middle-aged woman finally couldn't hold back anymore, she muttered a few words or chose to shut up.

Xi Xiao tousled her hair casually, straightened her half-good glasses, and looked out the window.

That's fine, no fuss.
