Prev Chapter Next Chapter

When lan and Yasmin finally got off the bus, lan's clothes were drenched with sweat.

What happened just now was a symptom of lan’s autism.He feared being in a small space with many

people.

Therefore, he became nervous, scared, and fell into a panic.

That was why he reacted the way he did.

Yasmin did not know about his condition but knew something was wrong as she looked at him.

"Please sit here for a while.I'll go and get you a bottle of water’ Yasmin said.

She looked at lan sitting there and felt that he looked like someone recently rescued from drowning.His

face was frighteningly pale.

Therefore, she rushed to a convenience store behind the bus stop to get a bottle of water.

"That's two bucks" said the shopkeeper.

"Okay.By the way, do you have any medicine for motion sickness? If not, do you have something that

could help someone feel better after motion sickness?" Yasmin asked.

She remembered how ill lan seemed as she was paying at the counter.

Thus, she asked the shopkeeper if he had something that could help lan.

Yasmin thought lan's sickly appearance was due to motion sickness.

Later, the shopkeeper sold her a pack of chewing gum.

Yasmin fell silent.She took the bottle of water and the pack of chewing gum and left the convenience

store.

Then, she gave lan the bottle of water.

After he drank some water, she hesitated before offering him the pack of chewing gum.

As expected, lan looked at her with a confused expression.

Yasmin explained, "I got it for free while buying water..."

lan did not say anything.

How much could a bottle of water cost? I am aware of the cost of the bottle of water.

When I was studying at the base, Duncan would buy me a bottle of water when we went out.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a few bucks.

Why would they give a gift for something that costs so little? lan looked down.

It was hard to know whether he was doubting Yasmin's words or feeling sad after remembering a friend

who had died a few years ago.

His gaze remained somber.

"I don't eat candies," lan replied.

Yasmin stared at lan but did not say anything.I think this is the first time he spoke to me this calmly.

However, he still sounds a little annoyed.It seems he has not fully recovered his mood.

Yasmin did not ask lan any more questions.She unwrapped a chewing gum and stuffed it into her

mouth before putting the rest into her pocket.

"Let me send you back.I saw electric scooters for rent on my way here just now" Yasmin said.

"What?" lan turned to her again.

Did she say electric scooter? What is it now? Soon, Yasmin showed up riding a shared moped and

stopped it before him.

"Get on"

Her tone sounded unnatural, and her expression seemed a little stiff.

lan remained seated and looked at her.

That was the second time he could not understand the way she thought.He heard Yasmin was a top

student in the Faculty of Finance and wondered if her intelligence was just for show.

In the end, lan stood up and hailed a cab by the road.

Yasmin was stunned.

lan got into the cab and turned to her.

"Why are you still standing there?"

Yasmin finally came to her senses and set aside the moped.Then, she got into the cab.

I need to calm down and process what is going on here.

The cab sped down the road and brought them back to school.

"Sit, how much is the fare?" Yasmin asked.

"Fifty-six bucks," the cab driver answered.

The cab's meter beeped as it displayed the fare.

Yasmin felt a wave of headache upon hearing the fare.It was almost the cost of her expenditure for a

day.

She looked down and opened her purse.

At this moment, lan suddenly took out a large banknote and handed it to the cab driver.

"Keep the change."

"Wow, thank you, Sir."

The cab driver was elated.Isn't that too generous? Yasmin was still digging through her purse when she

saw what had happened.She widened her eyes in shock.Then, she rushed out of the car and put on

her backpack before chasing after lan.

"lan, why did you do that? You haven't gotten your pay.How can you waste money like that?"

lan ignored her.He limped ahead while looking at his smartphone with an indifferent expression.

Yasmin was annoyed at being ignored and reached out to grab hold of him.

"lan, did you hear me? What is going on with you now?" Yasmin asked.

Having been forced to stop, lan stared at Yasmin with a confused expression.

Yasmin continued, "I'm talking about your pay.What are you planning to do about it? Do you want to get

it back? If you do, I can help you.Don't worry.I have experience in this.You will get your money."

After a long moment, lan finally put down his smartphone and regarded her solemnly.

"Why?"

"There's no special reason.We are classmates, so we should help each other.Therefore, don't be

sad.Don't take that job next time.There will always be challenges in life.Since you are this depressed

from not receiving pay, how will you survive in the real world?"

She pointed at lan's bag and continued to ramble on.lan was stunned.He stood still and looked at his

bag before looking at Yasmin, who was still advising him earnestly.He could not figure out how she

seemed completely different from when they first met.

Thus, he did not speak for a long time.
