Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0085 Crowded Bus
After getting up in the morning, Wu Qi walked to the balcony as usual, and stretched lazily facing the sunlight pouring in from outside.
He likes the sunshine in the morning, because he enjoys the feeling of sunshine on his body, which is warm and friendly, and it makes him feel at home. For a person who has left home to work hard, the hardship and fatigue he suffers outside is nothing. What makes them unbearable is actually the loneliness that makes it difficult to integrate into the environment.
Wu Qi thinks that he is a home-loving person because he can never fully integrate himself into the world. Every day when he wakes up, his heart is empty and he inexplicably feels lonely.
It has been five years since he graduated. He has been wandering for five years. The passion and ambition in his heart in his early years have been shattered without a trace in the face of this cruel reality.
But he was powerless to change anything and could only choose to endure silently, continuing to repeat these days without any hope. He suddenly remembered the catchphrase of one of his colleagues, which was a very classic self-deprecating line:
"Rich people live for pleasure, and as for us, we live with an optimistic attitude. So, in this world, as long as we are alive, we should respect us, because living really requires courage."
Looking down at the window, Wu Qi clenched his fists tightly and secretly vowed to make something of himself sooner or later!
After finishing this daily habit, he was about to turn back, but... a window opposite suddenly caught his attention. Because the two buildings were not far apart, he could clearly see the balcony of the house opposite, and saw a little boy standing there.
The reason why he noticed the boy was mainly because the boy was looking at him in horror. Then, he saw the boy open the balcony window and shouted at him:
“Someone! Someone!”
Wu Qi looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything wrong. Thinking it was a prank by the little boy, he simply ignored it, turned around and walked back.
Across the street, hearing the little boy's voice, his mother hurried over and pulled the little boy to her side:
"What are you yelling for so early in the morning?"
The boy's eyes were still fixed on the window opposite. After a long while, he finally answered:
"There's a person lying on that window."
"Someone lie down?"
The child's mother looked across the window in confusion, but there was no one there:
"What did I tell you before? Don't lie! Come on, follow me into the house!"
"I'm not lying. There really was someone lying on the window of that house just now."
"So where are the people now?"
"I followed the big brother across the street into the house..."
Wu Qi didn't take the boy's reminder seriously. After all, he had been that age before, and he had played many pranks on people around him. He still remembered the most outrageous one, which scared a friend to death.
Thinking of this, a child flashed , the child who climbed onto Cheng Wushuang's back. When he saw the child yesterday, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, and now when he recalled it again, this feeling became even stronger.
"Could it be that I have seen that child before?"
Wu Qi shook his head in confusion, then went into the bathroom to wash up. While washing up, he stopped and looked back more than once, always having the illusion that there was someone standing behind him.
He didn't know what was going on, but the more he washed, the more scared he became. His back also felt cold, as if a pair of hands were gently caressing it.
Resisting the fear, he quickly wiped his face with water, then dried it with a towel and walked out. Looking at the time, he found that he was about to be late, so he didn't bother to prepare breakfast, and hurried downstairs in his coat.
At this time, there was no one in the corridor, only he was running downstairs desperately, and his footsteps sounded extremely hurried. After rushing out of the corridor, he stopped outside the corridor and looked back inside. Just as he was going downstairs, he seemed to have heard another kind of footsteps, which were very gentle, but he could still catch them. However, he stopped outside for a while and did not see anyone coming out.
"What happened to me today?"
He slapped his forehead hard to stop himself from thinking about it, and he quickened his pace again and walked towards the bus stop. There were a lot of people waiting for the bus in front of the bus stop. In the past, he always cursed in his heart, but today, he was surprisingly relieved, and even felt fortunate that there were so many people here.
Not long after, the bus slowly drove over, and he squeezed onto the bus along with the crowd waiting for the bus. As soon as he got on, the bus offered a big discount and served them a busload of human meat pies, which were both filling and filling.
Wu Qi was squeezed to the point of being overwhelmed, but he had to say that if a beautiful woman stood next to someone at this time, it would definitely be a perfect opportunity to make a move. If you give her a hard touch, she would be unable to turn around and scold you even if she wanted to.
Wu Qi no longer needed to grab anything because there were so many people standing there that he was too lazy to do anything. He simply closed his eyes and lowered his head, waiting for the long journey to be over.
Although the bus stopped and started, the number of people on board did not decrease at all. He opened his eyes and looked out the window with difficulty. Fortunately, his company was not far away.
"Ouch."
As he was looking at it, his feet suddenly hurt. Apparently, someone in front of him accidentally stepped on his feet. He cried out in pain, hoping that the person who stepped on his feet would apologize. Unexpectedly, the person not only did not apologize, but also did not even look at him.
Wu Qi felt a little unhappy, but with so many people on the bus, there were bound to be bumps and collisions, so he swallowed his anger. But before the pain in his feet disappeared, his feet suddenly hurt again.
“Ouch!”
This time, his cry of pain finally attracted the person in front of him to look back, but that person just looked at him strangely, and then turned his head back as if nothing had happened.
"Oh shit!"
Wu Qi cursed the man in his heart, and his face turned even darker. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly started to hurt again. He looked down and saw a pair of dirty shoes stepping on his leather shoes.
Without carefully identifying the size of the shoes, Wu Qi could not help but angrily said to the man:
"You stepped on me!"
After hearing this, the man turned around and gave him a strange look, but still did not express anything. At this time, Wu Qi felt that the people behind him were squeezing him even harder. Similarly, his feet were getting more and more painful because the pair of shoes were still stepping on them.
"I said you stepped on me, didn't you hear me?"
Because of his anger, Wu Qi's voice became louder. The man turned around again and spoke this time:
"Are you crazy ? There's a big empty space at the back, but you have to squeeze in with me here, and you keep yelling! Open your eyes and look, my feet are eighty feet away from your feet. How can I step on you?"
The man moved forward, but the force on his feet did not disappear. He looked down blankly and saw that the shoes were still stepping on his feet.
However, it was just a pair of shoes, and there were no feet on them!
"ah--!"
Wu Qi screamed in fear. Because he did not stand firmly, his body fell backwards uncontrollably and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing his shout, the driver hurriedly stopped the car, and the people in the car looked at him in confusion. At this moment, Wu Qi's heart was beating fast, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body was shivering constantly.
There was nothing behind him, with only a few people standing there. It turned out that the bus was not crowded. It turned out that... where were all those people standing behind him!!!
"Dude? Hey, you okay?"
"No, it's okay. Sorry."
The shoes on his feet had disappeared, and the crowd that had been crowded behind him had also disappeared. It seemed that was just an illusion, but he knew very well in his heart that what had just happened was definitely not an illusion!
Because his leather shoes were stained by wet mud! That was the best proof to deny that all this was an illusion!
