<h4>Chapter 260: Chapter 260 Poor Me</h4><h4></h4>


    Xiao Yifei scratched his head, somewhat at a loss, "This really has nothing to do with me; it’s because you all have kindness in your hearts, so you actually saved yourselves. Good and evil will be repaid, it’s not my doing."


    After he finished speaking, Xiao Yifei also turned around, his eyes filled with trepidation as he looked toward the bus engulfed in mes.


    He truly hadn’t done anything. Xiao Yifei, still fuming, hadn’t even had the time to think about using his irvoyance or line of consciousness to do anything bad, and the scene unfolding before him now was honestly terrifying. If he hadn’t gotten off the bus, no matter how physically strong he was, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to withstand the st from the car!


    "It seems that there really is a reward for being good!"


    Zoned out, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but sigh. He had been very angry just moments before, but upon witnessing the current scene, he couldn’t feel angry anymore.


    "Justice has its own way of meting out punishment!"


    Standing behind Xiao Yifei, the young woman who had been speaking up for him saw the whole scene and still felt indignant. She couldn’t help but snort coldly, "Just now, they said they didn’t need help and told us to die sooner. Now they’ve got theireuppance, huh!"


    Hearing the young woman’s words, the middle-aged woman also turned around, sighed, and said, "Perhaps heaven couldn’t stand the sight of those indifferent people on the bus. This is a lesson! Good and evil will be repaid; it seems that doing more good deeds in the future is definitely the right thing!"


    Hearing the middle-aged woman’s words, the crowd behind her nodded in agreement.


    After witnessing the sudden car ident, Xiao Yifei saw that many people nearby were calling the police. With the bus still aze, it was impossible for anyone to get close. He shook his head and dismissed the thought of attempting a rescue.


    "Benefactor, I... I thank you so much! You’ve saved my life not once, but twice. I am truly grateful!"


    Just then, the country girl slowly approached Xiao Yifei, raising her head to look directly at him. Her face was marked with ck and purple patches, making it hard to recognize her features, but her gaze was especially sincere.


    Xiao Yifei looked down at the country girl, her clothes tattered and her appearance disheveled, and inwardly sighed.


    "Let’s go! You look as though you’ve suffered a lot, and my ce isn’t too far from here. If you don’t mind getting rained on,e with me, and I’ll help you clean up," he said.


    Xiao Yifei raised his head to nce outside the station. The rain was much lighter nowpared to the downpour earlier. Looking at the pitiable state of the country girl, he felt a twinge ofpassion, shook his head, and spoke to her.


    "Well, Benefactor, I’m not afraid of the rain, but no need, no need. You’ve already helped me so much, and beyond saying ’thank you,’ I don’t know what else to say. If you keep helping me, I wouldn’t even know how to repay you!"


    The country girl kept waving her hands at Xiao Yifei, her dirty hands all the more conspicuous.


    "Let’s go! No more nonsense!"


    Xiao Yifei told the country girl straight, then turned around, greeted the people who hade down from the bus, and was ready to leave.


    "Young man! Are you leaving already? Is it still raining outside? Why don’t you wait for the rain to let up a bit before you go?"


    The middle-aged woman, seeing Xiao Yifei preparing to leave, expressed her concern.


    These people seemed to have changed a bit too, a change for the better. Xiao Yifei could see the light in their eyes. He believed that the next time they encountered a thief, although they might not step forward to intervene, they would no longer stand by and watch as they had this time. This positive change was also something Xiao Yifei had brought to them.


    "It’s fine, this little rain is nothing to worry about!"


    Xiao Yifei waved at them and smiled. His eyes slightly squinted as he looked towards the ident scene where rescue operations had begun. He shook his head and then walked in the direction of his home with the middle-aged woman.


    In the rain, Xiao Yifei and the vige woman made their way toward ’Jinghang Garden,’ stepping deeply and shallowly through the puddles.


    "Hmm... benefactor, when I saw that nobody was willing to help me, and you stepped in to assist, weren’t you afraid?"


    The vige woman had clearly experienced hardship; the rain had made Xiao Yifei somewhat irritable, but she seemed as if nothing had happened, clutching herrge backpack tightly with a puzzled expression as she asked Xiao Yifei.


    "What’s there to be afraid of?"


    Xiao Yifei’s mouth quirked up slightly as he nced at the vige woman walking beside him with her messy hair, clothes full of rural aura, dirty hands, muddy shoes, and her face so dark with grime that her features were obscured. Her whole being emitted the earthy scent of a rural woman, yet she clutched the bag to her chest as if fearing the rain would soak it.


    "You really cherish that bag of yours, don’t you? What on earth is inside it?"


    Xiao Yifei suddenly became curious about what was inside the bag that the vige woman valued so much.


    "Benefactor, it’s really just my bedding!"


    The vige woman looked up and spoke with a heavy ent, slightly agitated: "I was swindled out of all my money. If my bedding gets stolen too, I’ll have nothing left. I came from the vige hoping to earn more money, but who knew people in the city would be so cruel!"


    After saying this, it seemed like the vige woman still felt indignant. With an expression of unresolved anger, she continued, "Not only did that boss swindle all my money without paying me a dime, but he also tried to take advantage of me and ’eat my tofu’! How could I let him get away with it! So I ran as fast as I could. I’d rather lose the money than my dignity. And then on the bus, a thief took a liking to my bedding! I begged everyone for help, but no one helped me. Luckily, you, benefactor, finally stood up!"


    It was obvious that the vige woman was uneducated, calling him ’benefactor’ repeatedly, which made Xiao Yifei feel ufortable. When he heard someone wanted to take advantage of the vige woman, Sun Li couldn’t help but turn to look at her. Her dark face made it difficult to make out her features. With her somewhat plump figure, alongside her strong rural scent, Xiao Yifei couldn’t understand what the boss she mentioned saw in her to take such advantage of her.


    Xiao Yifei pursed his lips. In his opinion, the vige woman must have been in her forties or fifties. But when he remembered her determined demeanor on the bus, he felt a bit of admiration: "You really are something, as if you weren’t afraid of that aggressive thief at all. Everyone else brandished their knives, and yet you clung to your bag tightly. If there was really only bedding inside, and you got stabbed because of it, that would have been a real loss!"


    The vige woman, upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, looked up at him with firm conviction in her tone: "I couldn’t let him have it. That bedding is thest thing I brought from the vige! If he had taken it, I would have had nothing left! I’m not afraid! I’ve been cut by sickles back in the vige before!"
