My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

She can manage against one or two people now, but there are five of them here. If a fight breaks out, she'll definitely be at a disadvantage.

We have to run! Run now!

She tried to avoid them and headed towards the stairs, but before she could take two steps, she was deliberately surrounded by those people.

She was just here to train her psionic abilities, so why did it have to escalate into a full-blown fight?!

Lu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, her fingers clenched tightly beneath her coat, but on the surface, she still had to play the role of the original owner. She could only raise her head and coldly sweep her gaze over the people in front of her, "What is it?"

He appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly panicking.

Fortunately, these people didn't realize that the person in front of them had been replaced. They looked at each other in confusion before taking two steps back warily to make way for her.

It seems the original owner of this body has considerable intimidation power.

Lu Zhao felt a surge of relief and was about to leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible. However, he had only taken one step when he heard one of the women opposite him speak indignantly: "Lu Zhao, did you ask our captain to be your caregiver?"

Her heart tightened, and she turned to look at the other person with displeasure.

It was clearly your team leader who came voluntarily!

I was just trying to give her a way out!

Otherwise, she would have to have nothing better to do than bring her nemesis to her side!

She frantically tried to defend herself internally, but considering that the original Lu Zhao would never bother explaining herself to this group of people, she could only swallow her tears and keep her words to herself.

Damn it, a fight is definitely going to break out now.

Silently observing these people, Lu Zhao subconsciously took a half step back, the firelight in his hand faintly visible.

We can't afford to embarrass the original owner, otherwise the entire team will lose face too!

Just as she was secretly gathering her strength, ready to fight this group of people at any moment, she did not expect that the woman who spoke first turned pale when she stared at her, and the expressions of the others were also obviously not good.

After a while, Lu Zhao had already gathered his strength, with enough firepower for seven or eight bombs in his hand, when he heard the other party's voice tremble as he said, "No...it's alright now, let's go first."

Eh?

She was stunned for a moment, and watched as the guys nodded in agreement and retreated as if they had encountered some kind of flood or ferocious beast.

Is this reasonable?

Li Manqiu, do you know that all your team members are incredibly cowardly?

Even she, a good girl who never caused trouble, was ready to fight, but it was this group of professionally trained elites who ran away first.

Filled with questions but unable to find anyone to ask, Lu Zhao stood there stunned for a long time until the group of people were no longer visible, before gradually recovering from his tense state.

Maybe, possibly... it's really because the original owner's power to intimidate them was too strong, so that even though there were five of them, they didn't dare to fight him?

As he gradually realized what was happening, Lu Zhao loosened his tightly clenched fist and felt the sweat on his palm, feeling a little embarrassed.

They have the same name and are in the same body, yet the other person can take on five opponents single-handedly, while I can only be so nervous that I dare not move.

He still needs more experience.

While secretly relieved, Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little wistful.

She turned and went downstairs, looking up at the sky already covered by twilight. She blinked, feeling a faint sense of loss.

In that world, she was just an ordinary college student. If she hadn't transmigrated, she would have soon faced graduation, finding a job, becoming a corporate slave, and living a life where she could see the end from the beginning.

In this world, Lu Zhao is one of the strongest spirit race members. Although his experiences are full of hardships, he is still able to persevere. Every day he faces different events. It is tiring and dangerous, but also very interesting.

To be honest, she envied this kind of life. She didn't even know if she could go back to that ordinary life again if she could.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips in a self-deprecating smile.

I've only been here for about half a month, and I already have thoughts of not wanting to go back. How... pathetic.

If she had traveled back in time earlier and experienced the suffering the original owner of this body had gone through, she probably wouldn't have thought that way.

This world is far from good. She has experienced all sorts of negative emotions, including discrimination, contempt, and hatred, in the past two weeks. Although they weren't directed at her, she could still imagine the negative emotional impact that the original owner of this body had suffered back then, which was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than what she was experiencing.

If these things were done to oneself...

Lu Zhao pursed her lips. She had many flaws, but one advantage was that she had a very clear understanding of herself.

She knew very well that if the same thing happened to her, she would not be able to bear it, and she might even commit suicide out of shame.

Look, the original Lu Zhao was better than her in every way, both mentally and physically. It's really difficult for her to play such a person.

Perhaps... the original owner had suffered enough of this kind of suffering, so she swapped souls with her own and went to live her seemingly ordinary life?

If that's the case, then at least she won't have to worry about her parents being left without anyone to care for them, and she'll genuinely be happy for the original owner of this body.

Being able to let go of the pressure and be herself is simply a luxury for her right now.

Looking back at the high-tech building behind him, Lu Zhao sighed and set off alone on his way home.

She happened to see a bus parked at the bus stop, so she quickly boarded it, chose a seat towards the back, and silently gazed at the scenery outside the window, waiting for the bus to start moving.

Chapter 43 On the Bus

A short while later, just as the car was about to start, a familiar sound of high heels came from outside.

"Beep, Spirit Clan Card."

An electronic female voice issued a prompt. Lu Zhao turned his head to look at the car door, and following the other person's long, straight legs upwards, his scalp tingled instantly.

She had completely forgotten that it was now time to leave work, and Chi Ying, the timing maniac, would also be getting on this bus!

Seeing her sitting in the car, Chi Ying was also stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure, walked past her seat without looking to the side, and sat down by the window on the other side of the car.

Phew, thank goodness they're not here to cause her trouble.

Lu Zhao still remembers that she took someone else's work ID but never had a chance to return it.

It seems that Chi Ying hasn't discovered it yet, or rather, hasn't suspected him.

As the car gradually started moving, she turned her head, seemingly focused on watching the scenery rushing past the window, but in reality, she kept a close eye on Chi Ying's movements, fearing that he might suddenly do something unexpected.

She asked herself honestly, if she had a crush on someone for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to confess, only to be rejected in a humiliating way, she definitely wouldn't have a good impression of that person.

There's nothing wrong with liking someone, whether it's liking the same sex or the opposite sex, or even having a fetish. Lu Zhao has no objection to it, and he treats it with respect even if he encounters it.

However, the original owner's attitude in handling this matter was not very good, so every time she saw Chi Ying, she would feel ashamed and would inexplicably be afraid of her.

It's best if nothing goes wrong today, otherwise she really won't be able to deal with a woman who has been hurt emotionally by "herself".

The evening breeze blew in through the open car window. Lu Zhao closed his eyes leisurely, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and finally felt a little better. He subconsciously turned around to look in Chi Ying's direction, but unexpectedly met her eyes.

Finished!

Startled, she quickly turned around, her heart trembling with anxiety.

If she gets caught peeping at someone, she'll be so embarrassed that she'll dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes on the spot!

Hopefully, Chi Ying won't take this too seriously, otherwise her public image will be ruined!

However, Lu Zhao, who was deeply reflecting on himself, did not see that the woman sitting on the other side of the car widened her eyes in surprise the moment she turned around, but when she turned back, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards.

After staring at the figure that was almost turned away from her for a long time, Chi Ying finally turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window in a good mood.

No one could see that the tips of her ears, hidden beneath her long hair, had silently turned red.

The bus stopped and started again along the way, and more and more people got on, almost filling all the seats in the bus.

However, perhaps because of the unusual aura emanating from Lu Zhao and Chi Ying, people avoided them, so the seats next to them remained empty until now, which relieved Lu Zhao somewhat.

However, when the bus stopped again, an elderly couple, supporting each other, slowly walked up from below. Both of them were using canes and their hair was gray as they shuffled inside. It took them a long time to reach the only two empty seats in the bus.

Lu Zhao and Chi Ying looked at them at the same time and stood up simultaneously.

"Please sit here."

"I'll give you my seat."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them subconsciously glanced at each other, then quickly looked away.

The two elderly people sandwiched in the middle looked at them with some confusion. Just as the atmosphere became awkward, the driver at the front of the car spoke up and reminded them, "Grandpas, please sit down, we're about to start!"

Lu Zhao seemed to snap out of a daze and quickly came out to politely offer his seat to the two elderly people: "Please sit here."

"Thank you, my dear."

After they finished expressing their gratitude and sat down, the car started moving.

Lu Zhao did a good deed quite quickly, but now, standing in front of this empty spot, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

To sit or not to sit, that is the question.

She sat down, and then she sat next to Chi Ying.

Not sitting down when there's an empty seat in front of you seems a bit too deliberate.

“Girl,” the old man behind her said gently, “you should sit down. Standing like this is tiring.”

Lu Zhao scratched his face awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to them, when he heard Chi Ying's voice say, "Sit down, don't stand."

She turned around and saw that the person was still facing her sideways, clearly unwilling, but had no choice but to make this decision given the current situation.

Okay, since it was your request, then don't blame her for being impolite.

Lu Zhao plopped down next to Chi Ying, and to be considerate of her feelings, he moved a little away to avoid physical contact with her.

I've been so considerate, so please don't get angry and perform her teleportation in front of a group of ordinary people, or you'll scare them.

Silently praying in her heart, she sat upright in the chair, not daring to turn her head or move her body for even a second, remaining stiffly seated until she reached her front door.

"Qixia Road has arrived, Qixia Road has arrived, passengers who are about to arrive at the station, please..."

She sprang up from her seat, then suddenly realized that she seemed to have moved too quickly, as if she were running away from something. So she quickly turned around, gave Chi Ying a forced smile, and said, "Minister Chi, I've arrived, I'll be going now!"

As expected, Chi Ying calmly raised her head and gave her an indifferent look, her "hmm" sounding as if it came from her nose, exuding extreme pride.

Having sat with this person he particularly disliked the whole way, Lu Zhao, putting himself in her shoes, felt that her current attitude was already quite acceptable, so he didn't say anything and simply got off the bus with the other passengers.

The young lady didn't get a proper lunch today, so she'll have to go to the supermarket again tonight to make up for it.

Chi Ying sat in the car, silently watching Lu Zhao's figure gradually disappear from her sight through the car window, and the softness on her face also disappeared.

Just as the bus was about to start moving, she suddenly stood up and said to the driver, "Excuse me, sir, I need to get off."

In fact, she never takes the bus normally; her ability to teleport allows her to switch between the company and home at any time.
