Chapter 119: Chapter 119 The Girl on the Bus_1 Chapter 119: Chapter 119 The Girl on the Bus_1 “WeChat Pay received 2 yuan.”

After paying, Colin glanced at the bus carriage—quite a number of people onboard, the seats all occupied, and about a dozen standing in the aisle. It looked rather crowded.

Luckily, he was the only one getting on at this stop, so he didn’t have to worry about someone pointing a gun at his back.

He found a spot to stand, and the bus began to move.

At this moment, some information appeared on Colin’s retinas.

[Suddenly, it seems you notice something amiss in the crowd, and you look towards the source…]

As soon as that appeared, Colin subconsciously turned his head to look.

Then, he saw a girl not far from where he stood—dressed in a black school uniform skirt, not very tall, squeezed amongst the crowd.

She wore a pair of glasses, had a gentle and frail aura, but now displayed a troubled expression, clutching the handrail and curling her body up as though enduring something.

Several men beside her kept squeezing toward her each time the bus swayed, occasionally trying to graze against her.

Although they hadn’t succeeded yet…

Seeing the girl not reacting, their actions gradually became more brazen.

What is this, some sort of Indian bus scenario playing out?

The moment Colin saw this scene, he immediately grasped what was happening.

This godforsaken place, why are there so many manga-esque storylines unfolding? Could the script of “Passionate Paradise” have been inspired by some kind of paradise, or some pink application perhaps?

He felt that the former senior employee of his company was quite conscienceless, turning the containment subject into a character from an adult manga, then letting the employees trigger it…

No wonder “Yukionna” had such a big issue with this place.

Without giving it much thought, the girl caught in the middle of the crowd seemed to notice Colin’s gaze, and she turned to look back at him.

When she saw Colin, her expression first froze, then noticing they wore the same uniform, her face immediately showed a look of plea, seemingly asking for help…

[The introverted literary girl surrounded by perverts recognizes you, and after realizing you’re a classmate from the same class, she quickly sends a signal for help.]

[You know that once you act, this girl who you barely know will suddenly have a great deal of affection for you, willing to do anything for you.]

[Perhaps, this could put an end to your years of singledom…]

[Or maybe, you plan to turn a deaf ear and do nothing, letting the events on the bus naturally progress, possibly leading to something even more thrilling?]

[You stand there, unsure which option is the more appropriate choice…]

“Another classmate? How come I can’t take two steps outside without running into so many classmates? And all of them in trouble, too. Seriously, assess for yourself whether this ‘script’ of yours is reasonable or if it seems like some third-rate screenplay?”

Colin cursed inwardly and let out a sigh.

The situation seemed a bit different this time; regardless of his choice, trouble seemed inevitable…

He was indeed indecisive, not sure whether to intervene.

Of course, his hesitation had nothing to do with the “narrator” mentioning wanting to see more stimulating scenes—it was purely a contemplation of which choice’s consequences he could accept.

Based on his previous experiences, he was inclined to be like Teflon—uninvolved in everything…

If he ignored her, the “plot” would presumably just end right there.

But if he got involved…

Those men might strip away their human guise on the spot, transform into terrifying monsters, and kill him right there and then.

Colin was certain that those people were some kind of unknown monsters.

No, more precisely, not a single one of the dozens of people on the bus was a real human being…

And as he pondered, a chilly feeling transmitted from his right middle finger…

“Need help?”

Colin lifted his hand, covered his mouth with it, and, pretending to rest his chin on his hand, he asked in a low voice.

The icy chill spread quickly…

“Yukionna” reaffirmed the previous answer and relayed more information—

If he didn’t help, something very exciting might happen on the bus soon, but the excitement might not be the kind he was thinking of…

Once the young girl’s mental state collapsed, her true form would appear. Its humanity was not fully shaped, and it could easily become frenzied.

Although Colin didn’t understand what “humanity being fully shaped” meant, he still made a decision.

Just as he was about to act, he saw more information from the Narrator appearing on his retina.

[Seeing your hesitation, the desperation in the girl’s eyes behind her glasses grew more intense. She clung to the bus railing, her options to evade dwindling. Several passengers smirked triumphantly, closing in step by step. One of them even couldn’t resist reaching towards her skirt…]

[But just at that moment, you suddenly pushed through the crowd, bumped into the man, and stood behind the girl, protecting her.]

[Several passengers were seething inside…]

“Kid, mind your own business about what’s happening here,” a man threatened.

Colin glanced at him, then shouted, “Ah, help, there’s a pervert…”

No sooner had he spoken than the expressions of the men changed. The bus stopped and the doors opened at that moment. Taking the chance, they rushed down the bus without a second thought.

“Colin, thank you. If it hadn’t been for you…”

As the girl spoke, a scared expression crossed her face; her cheeks flushed red, and then she snuggled into Colin’s embrace.

Could you not repay kindness with enmity…

Colin felt discomfort in his body and took a half step back.

[The girl looked at you admiringly, her expression filled with a certain infatuation. It seemed that she had a liking for you a long time ago, she already liked you a lot, and now… she likes you even more.]

Stop adding settings at will! She was clearly just an unfamiliar classmate a moment ago, why add this forced setup?!

Colin was annoyed, but he had no time to dwell on that as more “Narrator” information emerged.

[The girl’s body pressed against yours, her form so soft, the scent coming off her so enticing. With the swaying of the bus, your bodies occasionally rubbed against each other, unintentionally stirring up some romantic thoughts in you…]

???

Question marks formed in Colin’s mind, followed by the sensation of inappropriate thoughts emerging.

Fortunately, having experienced various things by now, he easily suppressed those thoughts, preventing undesired reactions from happening in this inappropriate place…

Later, after another bus stop, Colin seized the opportunity to grab a seat and quickly let the girl sit down.

[The height at which she sat was just at your waist level. Looking at that pretty head below you, you couldn’t help but recall some scenes from educational materials. If…]

What in the world is all this, is my innocence going to be ruined here?

Colin gasped a breath of cold air, feeling a slight tingling on his scalp, and gained a new understanding of the Narrator’s lack of limits.

But luckily, “Yukionna” provided timely support.
