The two children waited for the bus in front of the hospital door. The first two buses that passed were too full. Jiao Yuan decided to wait a little longer for one with less people. Buses that went from the hospital to the East gate of the university came so frequently that there was no point in squishing onto a crowded one.
The commuters were mostly people leaving work. The population of Chuhua was very large, and the city didn't have a subway system yet, so buses were always crowded during rush hour.
Today, Jiao Yuan was very quiet. If it was any other time, Jiao Yuan would be kicking a tree or peeling stickers off a pole or talking to people nearby. He wasn't someone who could wait quietly for the bus.
Today he just held his sister's hand and stood still. Besides telling Gu Youzi they should wait for the next bus, he didn't say another word.
