123 Give You A Reward (1/2)

”Senior, are you alright?”

Recovering slightly from her shock, Hui Yin looked towards the old man. The moonlight made his head full of white hair look silver, and Hui Yin stifled the impulse to touch it. His left hand was still clutching a bottle of beer.

He waved her concerns away. ”I'm fine, I'm fine. You should worry more about yourself. You collapsed so suddenly.”

Hui Yin's knees had already stopped shaking and she wanted to stand up, but she didn't want to leave the old man sitting by himself on the sidewalk.

”I'm okay,” she said, slightly blushing at her brief show of weakness. ”I was in shock, I guess. Senior, you should really stop drinking. It's not good for your health.”

”Don't worry about this old man. I've lived enough, and if it's my time to die, then it's my time to die.” He scrutinized her. ”Girl, do you want a reward?”

Hui Yin blinked. ”Reward?”

Then her mind caught his meaning, and Hui Yin fervently shook her head. Although she was poor, she could still afford to help an old man and not ask for compensation!

”No, no, it's alright, Senior doesn't need to reward me.”

”No need to be so embarrassed, I'm just going to give you a small token of appreciation. But...ah?”

His eyes suddenly focused on her left hand, his expression turning into one of deep shock. Hui Yin frowned and looked at her hand as well, but she could see nothing there, only her own bare skin.

”Uh...Senior?”

Surprising her, the old man began to laugh uproariously, slapping his thigh and splashing the contents of his beer into the ground.

Hui Yin looked at him weirdly. Perhaps this man had already turned senile?
