Soon, the bus arrived.
Wang Yue first put away his suitcase, then queued up with Qiao Zixuan to board the bus.
After getting on, the two chose a seat towards the back, mainly because the front was already full.
However, this tour bus was much more comfortable than the one they took to Rongcheng.
It was a minivan.
The seats in this type of minivan could be adjusted and were quite spacious, accommodating about 20 people in total.
There were two seats side-by-side on the left and a single seat on the right.
Qiao Zixuan sat by the window and said with a smile after sitting down, "This is much more comfortable than yesterday's bus."
"Naturally,"
Wang Yue replied with a smile.
After they chatted for a while, a vendor came onto the bus.
"Anyone want to buy disposable raincoats and anti-slip shoe inserts? It's snowing at Duoshan, and there's a bit of rain. That's your first stop, and it'll be more expensive if you buy it when you get off."
said the vendor.
Under his persuasion, many people opened their wallets.
"Big Yueyue, should we buy two raincoats and some anti-slip pads too?"
Qiao Zixuan said.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's actually selling them for a bit more than they are there."
Wang Yue said.
In his past life, when he didn't know anything, he had bought these things, only to find out at the destination that they were ten yuan cheaper than what he bought in the city.
Who could he complain to?
"Okay then."
Qiao Zixuan nodded and said, choosing to believe Wang Yue.
"Anyone else want to buy anything? If not, I'm getting off!"
The vendor was still talking.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one else was interested in buying, he got off the bus.
At this moment, Li Fangfang said, "Everyone, I need to inform you that we were about to depart, but there's still one tourist who hasn't arrived, so we might be delayed by a few minutes."
Normally, tour guides would tell you in advance that the bus doesn't wait, but in reality, the bus would wait. It's just that if you're late, everyone else has to wait for you, which can be embarrassing.
They waited for five minutes.
People gradually started to get impatient.
"What's going on? Didn't they say the bus doesn't wait?"
"Exactly, does this person have any sense of time? It's already been over five minutes."
"If you're going on a trip, you should check the time. If he's late, will we have to wait for him for half an hour?"
Many people on the bus started to voice their complaints.
Li Fangfang said apologetically, "Everyone, I apologize. I've already communicated with the tourist. He's at the subway station and should be here any minute."
Another five minutes passed.
Ten minutes had passed since the originally scheduled departure time.
Everyone on the bus was more or less annoyed.
Li Fangfang was also anxious. Having led many tours, she wasn't surprised to encounter someone who was so inconsiderate of time.
Just then, a young man wearing a Nike t-shirt and sunglasses strolled over leisurely, pulling a suitcase, not looking hurried at all.
"Are you Wang Rongxiao?"
Li Fangfang asked.
"That's me."
The young man nodded and said with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Hurry up and put your luggage away. Everyone's waiting impatiently. Get your warm clothes out."
Li Fangfang urged him.
"No need to rush. It's a trip, so let's not be so hurried."
Wang Rongxiao leisurely put away his suitcase and then slowly boarded the bus.
His unhurried demeanor made Li Fangfang grit her teeth. If he had arrived early, it would have been one thing, but arriving so late and not seeming to care made everyone on the bus wait for him.
After Wang Rongxiao got on the bus, he didn't take off his sunglasses and said arrogantly, "My apologies, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Stop dawdling and find a seat so we can go."
someone who couldn't stand it said.
Wang Rongxiao ignored him and walked towards the back on his own.
However, there was only one seat left in the middle of the last row.
Wang Rongxiao was a bit dissatisfied. He looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Zixuan.
Then he walked up to Wang Yue.
"Buddy, want to switch seats? I get motion sickness and can't sit in the back row."
Wang Rongxiao said casually, still wearing his sunglasses.
Everyone on the bus looked over, wondering how this newcomer's mind worked. Why would he think anyone would switch seats with him?
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. This person was truly shameless.
He directly said, "No."
"Buddy, you look like a straightforward person. How about this, I won't let you lose out. One hundred yuan, and you switch seats with me."
Wang Rongxiao took out a bulging wallet from his pocket, flipped it open with a snap, revealing a stack of hundred-yuan bills, and then casually pulled one out, smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"One hundred yuan? Does he think one hundred yuan is a lot?"
"Look at his attitude, he probably does. And he's deliberately showing off, hilarious."
The crowd began to whisper.
Wang Yue couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore. He leaned back in his seat and pulled on his eye mask.
Seeing that Wang Yue was ignoring him, Wang Rongxiao patted his down jacket, which he had bought for over a thousand yuan, and said with a laugh, "Alright, stop pretending. I have plenty of money. How about five hundred yuan? If not, then a thousand!"
Qiao Zixuan's eyebrows furrowed, and she found this person incredibly annoying.
She called out, "Tour guide, are you going to do anything about this? I strongly suggest that in the future, when signing up for tours, we should include a mental health check to prevent people with mental illnesses from joining and harming our physical and mental well-being."
Li Fangfang walked over. "Sir, please return to your seat immediately. If you don't wish to participate in this tour, you can get off the bus."
Wang Rongxiao took off his glasses, revealing a pair of beady green eyes that looked rather sleazy.
Many people thought to themselves that it was no wonder this guy always wore sunglasses; they improved his appearance by at least thirty percent.
Wang Rongxiao smirked. "Beautiful lady, are you trying to get my attention this way? There's no need. I was attracted to you the moment I saw you. Want to add me on QQ?"
"Crazy."
Qiao Zixuan cursed and also pulled on her eye mask, feeling that even looking at this person was an insult to her eyes.
"Wang Rongxiao, this is your final warning. Return to your seat."
Li Fangfang said through gritted teeth.
"Why are you yelling at me? Ugly hag, I paid money to buy service, not for you to yell at me."
Wang Rongxiao put his sunglasses back on and walked to the last row, sitting in the middle seat.
Li Fangfang was so angry her face turned red.
Tourists like this were infuriating.
The person sitting next to Wang Rongxiao instinctively moved to the side, thinking, "What bad luck, sitting next to a lunatic."
"Rumble."
The engine started, and the vehicle slowly pulled away.
"Please fasten your seatbelts, everyone."
Li Fangfang said.
Wang Rongxiao, however, sat with his legs crossed, as if he hadn't heard anything, his foot still tapping incessantly.
