(I'm truly grateful to Xizhu for such high praise and generous support, which gave Xiao Yi a great deal of confidence and motivation. Thank you!)
————————————"We've arrived at Book City!"
After nearly an hour of stop-and-go travel, the bus finally came to a stop at the Book City station.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, turned, and walked toward the bus's rear door. As he stood up, his expression froze again. He noticed that the thief was still on the bus, not getting off. Typically, bus pickpockets would leave immediately after stealing and then switch to another bus to continue their crimes—they definitely wouldn't stick to one bus for long.
The thief, feeling Xiao Yi's gaze, turned his head and continued to glare at him with resentful eyes.
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, not bothering to wonder why the thief hadn't gotten off the bus yet, and briskly turned and walked down from the bus.
