C74 (1/2)

Luo Tianyu sat on the ground with his knees bent and both his arms resting on them. ”A few years ago, I met a little girl begging on the street. In order to obtain alms, she kneeled on the street and kept kowtowing.”

My heart was in turmoil when I heard Luo Tianyu talking about the past. I didn't expect that even after six years, Luo Tianyu would still remember me begging for help. However, I was worried that he had already recognized me.

I didn't know if Luo Tianyu would look down on me because I was just a beggar. Clenching his sweaty hand, he pretended to be calm as he continued to listen to Tianyu talk to me, ”At that time, I saw how scared she was, how helpless she was. However, I also saw the unwillingness and struggle in her eyes.”

I asked Luo Tianyu, ”He's just a beggar, why does he still remember her?”

”Actually, I saw, before me, that girl begged others to save her. I clearly saw the begging in her eyes, but I just bought her a piece of cake. I didn't save her, but her eyes were still filled with gratitude towards me.”

”Actually, I saw, before me, that girl begged others to save her. I clearly saw the begging in her eyes, but I just bought her a piece of cake. I didn't save her, but her eyes were still filled with gratitude towards me.”

As Luo Tianyu said this, his gaze suddenly fell on my face. He asked me seriously, ”Do you think I'm a cold-blooded bystander?”

I looked at Luo Tianyu. From his eyes, aside from sincerity, I could see no other impurities, ”In this world, there were so many people suffering. At that time, you were only a child. To such a group of people, it is only natural to watch from the sidelines. Being able to give alms to them is already a benevolent act. ”

If I didn't understand the ruthlessness of this world, if I was still the same child, perhaps I would have thought, perhaps I would have blamed, why did I refuse to help me at that time?

But since I was a child, I have always deeply understood the laws of this world, and I also understood that picking a person is not like picking a cat or a dog. Even if it was me, I would not do such a thing so easily.

”I went back to visit her afterwards, but I never saw her again. I wonder how she's doing now, and if her life has improved.”

I asked Luo Tianyu, ”Why do I make you think of her? Do you think I'm her? ”

Luo Tianyu pursed his lips into a faint smile. ”Because every time I see you, I see the same thing in your eyes. Fear, helplessness, unwillingness, and struggle.”

My heart tightened. The things that were buried deep within my heart were being read out so easily by Tianyu.

I asked Tianyu, ”What if you see her again?”

Tian Yu looked at me and smiled. With a little helplessness, he said, ”I probably won't do anything. After all, she has her own life and I have mine.”

Tianyu's answer was very frank. There was clearly nothing more to discuss, but it was more or less a little disappointed.

At this time, my phone suddenly rang, it was never a phone with a sound, but at this quiet moment, I looked at that strange number that had called me more than twenty times, and couldn't help but frown. Seeing that Tianyu looked at me, I didn't have the heart to hang up and answer it, but the moment the phone was placed in my ear, I heard Ke Yfei's furious roar, shaking me until my eardrums started to hurt, ”I don't care where you are right now, just come back right now, otherwise if you don't believe that I'll catch you, you're dead for sure.”

I looked at my phone and heard the voice that sounded like a devil. I clenched my teeth, because with Tianyu by my side, I really couldn't argue with him over nothing. Tianyu looked at me and asked me with concern, ”Did your boyfriend miss you?”

I hung up on Ke Yfei and shook my head at Tianyu. ”No, I don't have a boyfriend.”

Tian Yu smiled and stood up. ”We've been out for too long. Let's go, give them a call and find a place to eat.”

As soon as we got into the car, Tianyu's phone rang. ”Ziyu, what's wrong?”

”…”

I couldn't hear what Ziyu had said, but I heard Tianyu say, ”Don't cry anymore, I'll go get you!”

Tianyu put down the phone and apologized. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat together anymore. He wanted to see Ziyu first.

I said it didn't matter, so Tian Yu asked me where I lived and said he was going to send me back. I saw that he was rather worried about Luo Ziyu, so I didn't expect him to worry so much and keep her in his mind. He told Tian Yu to put me at a junction where he could get a car and then watched him leave apologetically.

I took a glance at the phone that had been muted just as I hung up the phone. At this moment, Ke Yfei's phone was still ringing, so I picked it up. Before Ke Yfei could question me, I asked him, ”What happened to Ziyu? She made me cry!”

”You're still with Tianyu?”
