Chapter 387 Crowded Bus
Rudy and Lucy were standing on a crowded bus, waiting for someone to get off so they could get a seat to sit. But they weren’t the only ones thinking that.
Rudy cleared his mind and sharpened his senses to use telepathy and read the minds of the people on the bus to figure out who was going to get off at the next stop. So he could stand right beside the seat.
However, more than fifty people were on the bus, and Rudy was hearing all of their thoughts simultaneously. He couldn’t pinpoint the thoughts of a person even if he understood them.
Of course, not all of them were thinking about where they would get off, so that wasn’t the best ability to use at that time.
SIGH!
Rudy immediately activated his see-through ability and inspected everyone’s body to look for their tickets and see their destination, but he stopped after a few seconds as it was useless.
‘Why should I bother doing all this when I can simply use my other powers when someone gets off?’ he uttered inwardly.
The bus was going at a stable speed, and as it was a highway, there was no real traffic, so everyone standing on the bus was steady.
Rudy and Lucy were facing each other, but Rudy was taller than her, and whenever he looked down at Lucy, he could see a bit of her cleavage.
‘Dammit!’ Rudy was wishing for someone to get off from the bottom of his heart.
‘I could have just used teleportation or flew there with her! But should I tell her about my powers?’
Rudy was still unsure whether he should tell Lucy about his powers or keep it a secret. He still didn’t know the good and the bad of telling her.
Of course, he trusted Lucy and knew she wouldn’t tell anyone about this, but was there a need to tell her?
Absolutely!
However, he was waiting for a chance. He couldn’t just tell her out of a sudden.
Rudy was familiar with Lucy and everything related to her, but Lucy wasn’t. They had only started talking yesterday, and she didn’t know anything about him.
Before telling her, he first wanted their relationship to get better and become a brother and sister. He didn’t want to freak her out, which could possibly result in her getting scared of him.
Rudy looked out of the window at the sky and furrowed his brow.
‘I might need to sweep the sky once I return from this outing,’ Rudy uttered inwardly.
The bus suddenly pressed a break, and everyone standing on the bus collided and were slammed into each other. But Rudy stood still on his spot.
Lucy was slammed into Rudy, and her body was rubbing against him.
‘Oh, come on! Why is this happening today?! All the events so far are the lucky pervert moments that usually happen to the main protagonist of a story. But I am no protagonist!
I don’t have plot armor to save me whenever I am in danger! Wait… do I even need one? I make my own plot armor using my powers!’
Even though he thought about all that, he enjoyed the few seconds when Lucy’s body touched him.
‘Angelica has corrupted me! I should go to a church to cleanse my mind!’
Even though he was well aware that the reason behind Angelica’s perviness was none other than himself, he blamed her for no reason. If he truly visited a church, he would corrupt the nuns too.
After a few seconds, the bus’ speed decreased and eventually stopped at a pick-up point.
Rudy glanced around the bus to spot anyone moving, but no one got off. Instead, a few passengers got in, and the bus became more crowded.
Rudy was pushed from behind, and they were pushed by the ones behind them. Now, Rudy and Lucy’s body was more than touching. He could feel every part of Lucy’s body touching him. Especially the two big mountains with two peaks.
He hoped someone would get off at the next spot, but that didn’t happen. Even after five more pick-up points, the passengers only increased instead of decreasing.
Rudy and Lucy were getting crushed against each other from all sides.
‘I am sure Lucy feels uncomfortable as hell! But she hasn’t said anything yet. She must be so disgusted that she is not even—’
Rudy stopped talking to himself when he accidentally read Lucy’s mind.
‘Uhh… let’s pretend I never heard that.’
Rudy and Lucy had to stand the entire ride on the bus as no one got off at any of the pick-up points. However, when they got off at their stop, most of the passengers got off with them.
“…”
“….”
Rudy glanced at Lucy from the corner of his eyes and saw her pouting at nothing. She was annoyed and frustrated, but at the same time, her cheeks looked flushed.
‘I am sure as hell I didn’t want to experience what happened on the bus. Yet, it still happened. If Angelica’s theory was true, then my powers would have made someone get off, and we would have gotten seats.’
“Let’s go to the vet. Which way is it?” he asked calmly.
“It’s near the market. But can we go to a pet shop first?”
“Sure. What do you want to buy? Cat food?”
“Yes,” she nodded and said, “And a collar for her. She has a habit of sneaking out.”
“I see. Let’s get going then.”
‘The same as in my past life…’
They crossed the street and made their way to a pet shop that was having a discount sale as it was the shop’s third anniversary. So Lucy decided to buy as much food as she could while staying within her budget.
Then, they went to the collar section to get a collar.
Lucy turned to Rudy and asked, “Which one should I get? There are too many of them.”
“Don’t ask me.”
Lucy smiled from the corner of her lips and said, “How about you try the collars on me?”
