An Xin quickly lowered her head, afraid to look at Wang Jun Feng. She shrunk into the crowd, feeling somewhat relieved that she was in the bus. With so many people around, Wang Jun Feng wouldn't dare to do anything to her. If she had encountered him alone outside, she didn't know what she would do.
She tightly held onto the handrail, her palms sweaty.
The bus moved slowly, stopping and going. There were only two more stops until she reached home, but An Xin was getting more and more nervous. She didn't know if she should get off the bus. If she got off, what would she do if Wang Jun Feng followed her?
But if she didn't get off, would she just keep riding the bus like this?
An Xin was anxious, not knowing what to do. With one more stop left, she would have to get off.
Summoning her courage, she looked up in the direction of Wang Jun Feng, but to her surprise, she didn't see him.
Where did he go?
An Xin quickly looked around, searching for Wang Jun Feng's figure, but he was nowhere to be found.
Did he get off the bus?
Or was it just her imagination?
Regardless, it was a relief that Wang Jun Feng wasn't there. An Xin breathed a sigh of relief and got off the bus in a hurry as it reached her stop.
After getting off the bus, she didn't dare linger on the road and hurriedly ran back home.
She opened the door and locked it, all in one breath.
Looking at the securely locked door, An Xin let out a breath and collapsed onto the sofa.
At this time, both Chen XiaoHui and Li Man hadn't finished work yet.
After sitting for a while, An Xin got up to cook. She started cooking the rice and planned to wait for Chen XiaoHui to come back from work and buy groceries.
But sometimes Chen XiaoHui would do the shopping, and sometimes it would be Li Man.
They had an agreement to split the rent, water, electricity, and gas bills. Whoever finished work earlier would go grocery shopping.
Even the best of friends had to keep track of expenses, or else conflicts would arise if they lived together for too long. After all, no one wanted to be taken advantage of.
Not long after, Chen XiaoHui returned with the groceries. The front door was locked by An Xin and she couldn't open it, so she knocked on the door and shouted, "An Xin, why did you lock the door? Open it quickly!"
Upon hearing Chen XiaoHui's voice, An Xin hurriedly ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Chen XiaoHui asked, "Why did you lock the door? What happened?"
An Xin wanted to tell Chen XiaoHui that she saw Wang Jun Feng just now, but she wasn't sure and was afraid that she might be mistaken.
Afraid that Chen XiaoHui would worry, An Xin decided not to tell her and said, "I accidentally locked it."
"You clumsy child," Chen XiaoHui laughed and scolded, not paying much attention to it. After entering the house, she asked, "Did you cook?"
"Yes," An Xin replied.
"Has Aunt Li Man not come back yet?" Chen XiaoHui asked while changing her shoes.
"No."
"Okay, go do your homework. Mom will call you when dinner is ready."
"Okay."
An Xin agreed and went back to her room to do her homework.
She shared a room with Chen XiaoHui, while Li Man lived in a separate room. But sometimes Chen XiaoHui would sleep in Li Man's room, and they always had endless topics to talk about.
After dinner, An Xin took a shower and went to bed.
In her slumber, An Xin vaguely felt a pair of hands caressing her face. In her half-conscious state, the image of Wang Jun Feng's face involuntarily appeared in her mind, causing her to scream in shock and wake up abruptly.
Chen XiaoHui was taken aback by An Xin's reaction. She noticed that An Xin had been listless and unable to muster any enthusiasm throughout the night. Worried that she might be sick, Chen XiaoHui gently touched An Xin's forehead to check for fever. However, the moment she made contact, An Xin was startled awake.
