Gold Medal Sweetheart

Jin Taize didn't speak immediately, but the cold expression on his face told Tang Xin that he was unhappy about taking the bus home. After a moment's silence, the word "take a taxi" slipped briefly but forcefully from his thin lips.

"Taking a taxi is so environmentally unfriendly! Look, the exhaust fumes corrode buildings and contribute to acid rain and photochemical smog, which are significant atmospheric pollutants. Secondly, they pose numerous health risks, such as eye irritation, causing pink eye, and irritation to the nose, throat, trachea, and lungs, leading to chronic respiratory diseases. Carbon monoxide in vehicle exhaust reduces the blood's oxygen supply to human tissues, causing hypoxia, which can lead to headaches and, in severe cases, death from suffocation." As she spoke, she unconsciously pointed at Jin Tae-jae's eyes, nose, and mouth. But when she reached his Adam's apple, the symbol of his alluring masculinity, her face suddenly felt slightly hot, and her fingers faltered, frozen in place, as if unsure what to do. She glanced at everyone who pointed at that organ, only to be met with a gaze so cold it could freeze a person to death. Ugh, it seemed she had angered the eldest son of the Jin family.

"Well, I just want to say that there are many advantages to taking the bus, and there are many more advantages to taking a taxi..." When Tang Xin saw Jin Taize's eyes that seemed to want to cut her into pieces, she swallowed the last few words "I haven't told you about the dangers yet" into her stomach. Then, she smiled as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Jin, your dragon body is very healthy and you will never suffocate to death." She added and explained.

Tang Xin's explanation did not soften Jin Taize's icy expression at all; on the contrary, it became uglier and uglier.

During the brief standoff, Tang Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she grabbed Jin Taize's arm and ran forward. Jin Taize was confused by this pull and said uncooperatively, "What are you doing?"

"The bus is coming, the bus is coming," Tang Xin kept looking back and shouting to Jin Taize as she ran forward, "Hurry up, or we will miss it." She also waved her arms to get the bus driver's attention.

During this prime time, Jin Taize watched the crowd of people approaching the train carriage, his expression growing increasingly gloomy. Tang Xin, intent on catching the bus, paid no attention and instead felt fortunate that the bus had stopped for them.

Seeing a crowd of people desperately trying to squeeze onto the bus below, Jin Taize had no intention of getting on. So, the driver impatiently shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry up! If you can't get on, wait for another one!"

After chasing him breathlessly, how could she let the duck in her mouth fly away like this? To avoid missing this bus, Tang Xin subconsciously pushed Jin Taize from behind. Jin Taize looked at her as if he could eat her alive, but she could only pretend not to see it, burying her head deeply and continuing to push hard. With the help of the crowd, Jin Taize miraculously got on this crowded bus.

At this time, the driver shouted: "Don't get on, there are too many people, wait for the next bus."

Amidst the noisy voices, a deep male voice like the sound of nature broke through the air, "Wait, there is another person." The entire carriage became a little quieter because of this beautiful voice.

A man in a black suit reached out from under the car, his sleeves revealing a clean white shirt. The delicate curve of his wrist, adorned with diamond-studded cufflinks, shone brightly, embodying the utmost luxury and nobility. Tang Xin hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in the palm extended before her. Under the warm, powerful hand, her petite body slid uncontrollably into Jin Taize's cool, masculine embrace.

The car started slowly, and the people on board were packed tightly together, making it difficult to breathe. Jin Taize and Tang Xin stood near the door. Tang Xin knew that if she looked up, she would see Jin Taize's displeased expression, so she deliberately turned her head to look out the door. The car was about to arrive at the next stop, and at this moment, a girl sitting in the front seat stood up from her seat and prepared to get off. The seat was close to Jin Taize, so Jin Taize sat down without even looking at Tang Xin.

Tang Xin couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. Tsk tsk tsk, he really has no manners at all. Doesn't he know the principle of ladies first?

Seeing Tang Xin pouting slightly, Jin Taize felt very satisfied. "Didn't you say that taking the bus has many advantages? Yes, it seems that taking the bus is not as bad as I imagined. It's quite good." His tone was full of a little provocation.

Tsk, a villain's success. Although Tang Xin lashed out at the man in her heart, she said with a forced smile, "Then sit back and enjoy yourself."

As we were talking, the bus arrived at the station again. This time, an elderly woman with flowing white hair and slow movements got on. She looked to be around 70 years old. Seeing her get on, the passengers in the front row pretended to close their eyes and rest, while others lowered their heads to play with their phones. No one seemed to be willing to give up their seats.

"Please sit here with me." As soon as the words fell, the people in the front of the car all turned their eyes to him, and Tang Xin also looked at Jin Taize.

The old man thanked him profusely and was then helped to his seat by Jin Taize. Tang Xin once again doubted her own eyes. This arrogant and mean man actually offered his seat to an old man? Jin Taize got down from his seat, completely ignoring Tang Xin's puzzled look, and stood beside her as if nothing had happened.

A middle-aged man who had boarded the bus with this person also stood next to Tang Xin. His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were hazy, and he looked drunk. The smell of alcohol on his body was extremely challenging Tang Xin's sense of smell. She subconsciously waved her hand in front of her nose, trying to let the air around her circulate more. The car's speed, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, also made the middle-aged man sway from side to side and get closer. Tang Xin also tried her best to keep a distance from him, but it seemed that the more she tried to avoid him, the closer the drunk got. Before Tang Xin could react, she was pulled by a force, and with the protection of one arm as a barrier, she kept a safe distance from the drunk. She was completely in the small area formed by Jin Taize's two arms and the seat. She raised her head slightly and looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Was this man trying to imprison her on the spot?

"Are you always so unreserved with men?" Jin Taize said softly, looking out the window.

"Hmm?" Tang Xin didn't seem to understand what he meant.

"How do you want me to respond to such a passionate gaze from a woman so close to you?" Jin Taize retracted his gaze from outside the car, looked down, and continued, "I am a man." The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of evil.

Caught in the act, his words hit the nail on the head. Tang Xin's face flushed like a tomato, and she immediately lowered her head. Jin Taize couldn't help but laugh at the girl's reaction, and his mood suddenly seemed to brighten. The windows of the slowly moving bus reflected the twinkling streetlights and neon lights, illuminating his handsome smile like fireworks piercing the night sky.

This way.

One is happy and relaxed, while the other is depressed and unhappy.

One feels that the journey is just around the corner, while the other laments that the journey is as far as the end of the world.

One realizes that time flies, the other sighs that each second feels like a year.

After getting off the car, Tang Xin was about to say goodbye to Jin Taize so that she could go to the other side of the road to wait for the return bus. However, Jin Taize threatened to "send the Buddha to the west" and forced him to send him to the door of his house.

"How do you know so much about the hazards of exhaust gas? Didn't you study politics and law in college?" Jin Taize asked as he paced back and forth.

“Oh, I learned that from the charity I joined.”

"Are you doing charity work?" Jin Taize continued to ask with interest.

Tang Xin gazed into the distance and nodded. "One is for environmental protection. From there, I learned about the harmful effects of exhaust gas, waste sorting, resource recycling, and so on. The other is for student aid. During holidays, I sometimes volunteer and learn a lot from it." She smiled slightly, her tone calm and serene. "We should be grateful for all that life has given us. Even if we encounter unpleasant things, they are nothing compared to those struggling in pain. We, 'Ai Zhi Aid', once visited a mountain primary school to provide condolences. When the children saw the school supplies we brought, their smiles were like the springs flowing from the Tianshan Mountains, clean and pure."

Tang Xin was talking to herself. When she said the words clean and pure, Jin Taize couldn't help but slowly stare at the girl beside him.

"Even now I still can't forget their simple yet luxurious happiness." She seemed to be completely immersed in the memories of the past, as if time was flowing backwards, taking her back to that year, that season, and that group of children.

"So," she said cheering up, "with those friends, whether we are helping students or working for environmental charities, we all hope to do our best to bring a little change to the world and make more people and animals live better." She turned her head and smiled at Jin Taize, then continued to walk slowly in the quiet night.

Jin Taize suddenly slowed his pace. The petite figure, nestled in the night, at that moment, in his eyes, like a night-shining pearl, possessed a powerful force. For the first time, he felt the unmatched energy of a man, emanating from a previously fragile body, a shock he had never experienced before.

"Miniature atomic bomb." Jin Taize looked at the blue denim skirt swaying gently and rhythmically in front of him, and said in a light tone and with a firm look in his eyes.

Tang Xin turned around, seemingly not hearing clearly, and asked incoherently, "What did you say?"

Jin Taize's charming smile blended perfectly with the night scene, and he caught up with Tang Xin in front of him in two quick steps.
