At the bus stop.
"What exactly is a bus?" Yan Jiangxue asked with great excitement. "I've never ridden one in my entire life!"
"Me neither," Lu Xuan said with a gentle smile. "It used to be too expensive for me... And now, I figure we can't always be bothering Uncle Ao. Besides, the sun's really strong today. I looked up the routes, and this one goes straight to the Lower City District."
Xiaoyan took a bite of a warm, roasted sweet potato and said with a laugh,
"It doesn't really matter, you know. To be honest, with our Physiques, we're already immune to heat and cold..."
"So, you want to walk?"
"No way! I want to try it!"
Before long, an exquisite public hover-car pulled up to the platform. The gust of air it created lifted the hem of the girl's skirt, revealing a pair of fair, straight calves.
This was the most expensive route. A regular bus cost only two dollars, while the hover-car was thirty—fifteen times the price.
