As both of them had sweated profusely from the walk, the air conditioners in the train station gave off a cooling breeze which helped them cooled down.
Tang Yuanyuan had felt comfortable from the cool breeze especially on a warm sunny day like this. But suddenly, Yishu passed her his jacket. Thinking that Yuchi Yishu was afraid that she’ll be cold, she shook her head and said, “It’s okay Yishu; I’m not cold.”
Yuchi Yishu glanced at her and stopped in his tracks. “Whoever said that you’re cold?”
“Yishu?” Tang Yuanyuan looked up at him with a puzzled face. If I’m not cold, then why would he give me his jacket?
She did not understand his actions at all.
“Don’t ask any more questions and just wear the jacket.”
Seeing how she did not take his jacket, Yuchi Yishu simply went toward her and placed his jacket on her. His jacket was dark brown. Furthermore, he had a wider and taller body frame than her. Hence, when the jacket was placed on Tang Yuanyuan, it managed to cover her bottom too.
Tang Yuanyuan froze for a moment. Her shirt had the smell of Yuchi Yishu’s sweat but she did not hate it at all. Instead, her face blushed slightly. However, when she lowered her head, she suddenly noticed something.
Along the way, she had been lying on Yuchi Yishu’s back and this had caused the front of her shirt to become soaking wet. The front of her shirt was now a little transparent and the outline of her camisole was visible.
“Ah!” Tang Yuanyuan did not hold back and screamed out of embarrassment as she reached out to cover her small face.
She felt shameful; she had totally forgotten about the incident just now and must have looked unpresentable. Otherwise, Yuchi Yishu would not have given her his jacket. She felt like a fool for assuming that Yishu offered his jacket because he was afraid of her getting a cold.
“Alright, let’s go now.” Yuchi Yishu pretended like nothing had happened and walked forward while pulling her along. During this time, the train station was crowded with people. Even after boarding the train, they could not find a place to sit so Yuchi Yishu could only pull the young lady to face him as they stood.
“If you’re sleepy, you can hug me while you rest for a while.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m not sleepy.” Tang Yuanyuan shook her head. It would feel odd for her to hug him while she slept. Besides, she had taken a quick nap just now and was wide-awake.
Since they would not be getting off until the last station, they did not take notice of which station they were at.
Yuchi Yishu reached out to guard her back. “Don’t worry; I won’t let you fall.”
Tang Yuanyuan vigorously nodded her head while half-leaning on him to fall asleep. But when she turned her head around, she saw something strange.
Not far from them stood a lady who was being harassed by a portly, middle-aged man.
Taking advantage of the crowded area, the man deliberately leaned his body on the beautiful lady. During his first attempt, she furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to avoid him. Nevertheless, she couldn’t avoid him as the train was too crowded.
When the portly, middle-aged man saw that there were no reactions from the lady, he continued to rub up against her.
Not being able to withstand any longer, the lady turned her head around to stare at the middle-aged man. However, he had a poker face plastered on him and acted as though nothing had happened.
After the lady had turned away, with an expressionless face, the middle-aged man continued to rub up against her.
Tang Yuanyuan did not understand why he had to do this to the lady, but she was sure of one thing—his actions were making the lady uncomfortable. At one point, the lady even glared at him but he continued on with his unscrupulous act.
Tang Yuanyuan blinked and tugged on the hem of Yuchi Yishu’s clothes.
“What’s wrong?” Yuchi Yishu lowered his head and asked the young lady.
Tang Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes. “Yishu, look over there.”
She pointed toward the left behind him and Yuchi Yishu looked toward the direction she was pointing at. Just as he looked over, the middle-aged man was placing his hands onto the lady’s waist. Although the lady showed a furious expression on her face, she dared not to move.
“That man looks like he’s doing a lot of things to make that lady feel uncomfortable.”
Tang Yuanyuan had witnessed the entire incident.
Yuchi Yishu’s face turned dark with anger and the atmosphere around him turned chilly. He pursed his lips, turned Tang Yuanyuan’s head around, and instructed, “Don’t look. Stand still.”
“Okay.” Tang Yuanyuan nodded. Noticing the pole by her side, she leaned onto it while she wrapped both her hands around it.
After Yuchi Yishu made sure she had stood properly, he slowly turned around and fixed his gaze onto the portly, middle-aged man.
Everyone beside them did not react to the situation at all. Some who were not aware of it were playing on their phones while those who saw it pretended they had not noticed anything unusual.
These sorts of incidents were common on the train. Besides, people are cold toward one another nowadays. Seeing how the ones who were being harassed did not respond at all, they did not bother as well.
Unaware that he was already being targeted, the middle-aged man continued harassing the lady.
At the very next second, he was being kicked by someone.
After the man fell, screams and panic from the crowd followed. A small space was formed in the middle of the train from which was previously a crowded area.
“What happened?”
“Why did you hit someone out of the blue?”
The lady who was previously harassed was caught by surprise and swiftly hid to the side. When she turned around, she saw Yuchi Yishu with a cold expression while he withdrew his leg.
As she was hugging the pole, Tang Yuanyuan’s heart was beating vigorously—not because she was shocked from the incident, but because she thought Yishu’s action made him look even more charming.
She had never expected Yishu to make a move at all. Having said that, Yishu had been studying in a police academy after all. Even though he was already a righteous man before, the way he struck at the man made him even more handsome in her eyes.
It took the middle-aged man quite some time to gain consciousness after he fell. When he stood up again, he pointed at Yuchi Yishu and said, “What are you trying to do? Beating up an old man on the train? I’ll make sure to call the police to arrest you.”
“Old man?” Yuchi Yishu sneered.
Meanwhile, people looking from the side hurriedly fished out their phones to record the incident.
“That’s right. I’ll call the police now.”
After the middle-aged man stood up, he took out his phone and was ready to call the police. All of a sudden, Yuchi Yishu, who was standing in front of him just a moment ago, mysteriously made his way behind the man. He then grabbed the man by his wrist and with sharp movements, arrested him and pressed him against the floor.
There was a thump as the middle-aged man’s phone fell to the ground. After some thinking, Tang Yuanyuan swiftly ran toward them and picked up his phone while she chastised, “You’re an evil person. I saw how you kept touching the lady’s waist just now. Even if we called the police, you would be the one that would be arrested.”
After hearing Tang Yuanyuan’s explanation, the onlookers, who were previously confused as to why Yuchi Yishu had struck the man, became aware of the incident.
“What a shameless man! How dare he harass someone on the train?”
“Do you have a daughter, sir? What would you do if one day your daughter was harassed by someone on the train?”
“Thank goodness this handsome, young man was brave enough to stand up for what’s right. Young man, you have great skills.”
Yuchi Yishu was clear-eyed when his gaze swept across the crowd. With a cold yet authoritative voice, he instructed, “Everyone, please delete all the videos you have taken.”
The crowd had initially wanted to praise him; unexpectedly, they were being ordered to delete the videos.
Seeing how Yuchi Yishu had great skills and was serious about it, not to mention that fierce glare he had, the crowd lowered their heads in silence as they deleted the videos.
“Call the police,” Yuchi Yishu gently said as he looked toward Tang Yuanyuan.
