Chapter 244: The Cough on the Bus

Translator: Lonelytree

The bus door opened and the public, who had been waiting at the bus stop, fought to get onboard It was early August, the weather was humid and hot The day was still early but the sun had already turned this seaside town into an oven The citizens felt like they were being baked The air-conditioning inside the bus provided great refuge so every seat was heavily-treasured

“Phew, this is such horrible weather””Sir, do you ers rushed onto the bus and once they occupied their seats, they started to coed roused in return “It’s turned to the max already” He closed the door and drove away from the bus stop

Shen Haoxuan was one of the last passengers to get on He was polite enough to not fight for any seat with his seniors so he stood holding the handrails He was a high school student and he was currently enjoying his summer vacation He trusted he did well for his exaet hi this suave him permission to apply for a driver’s license He still had not acquired the learner’s permit so he had to settle with public transport for now

That day, there was aof an event but it was enough to draw the attention of the local youths Shen Haoxuan pro the bus there With the thought of the adventure he would have, the youngto rumors, several famous youtubers would be there He was so excited

“Cough… cough…” Suddenly, a horrible hacking rang within the bus It caused everyone to frown Shen Haoxuan turned to the source and saw it came from an uncle seated not far to his left The uncle was about 40 plus, and casually dressed However, his face was scarily blanched The uncle was already on the bus when Shen Haoxuan got on Despite the air-conditioning, the uncle was covered in sweat, his white shi+rt soaked et stains

“Cough… Hhs finally petered away, his breaths labored heavily for a long tiht the episode was over, the coughing returned with a vengeance It was so intense that it shook the uncle all over His face was red and it sounded like there was thick phlegers who stood around hiers who sat next to him and in the row in front of him also quickly stood up and moved away There were 3 empty seats around the uncle but no one wanted to take the on back there?” An auntie at the front of the bus turned around Looking dos, one of which was deserted, she co public transport”

Her stern warning did nothing to stop the coughs and so the auntie’s corew louder, “Can’t you just hold it in? How about covering your mouth with your hands?”

“I’ized His voice was hoarse froh”

“Minor cough? You have to be kidding me” The auntie chided, “Why did they even let you on the bus?” She gruainst such rudeness but today the rest of the passengers were also discomfited by the uncle’s unsanitary habits Shen Haoxuan had encountered sick people on the bus before but this uncle appeared like he needed a trip to the clinic or the hospital instead of a ride on the public transport

The bus continued its way through the small-town street The atmosphere in the bus chilled The uncle tried his best to keep his coughs down but his efforts only made his condition worse As his saliva flew everywhere, the nearby passengers fidgeted anxiously and with suppressed disgust but the bus was too crowded for them to move elsewhere

“Sir, can you stop here?” Soet down

“Do you want nated spots” The driver grumbled, “If he refuses to wear a mask, then you can wear one of your own”
