The teenager gazed at the coin in his palm before dropping his hand.

The great beauty was so relieved that he took a step forward and handed him the twenty yuan.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Think of me as intrusive.” In a warm voice, the great beauty said, “I simply believe that the injuries to your body are so severe that you need medical attention… Is it possible for you to tell me who did this?”

The great beauty was well aware of the state of affairs in his heart. Despite this, the teenager remained silent and showed no sign of responding. Nrz7qA

The great beauty had to pull him to sit down. He stroked his hair as he pried off his open shirt, put it aside, and examined the wounds on the teenager’s body.

This couldn’t have been accumulated in a day, but he only met the teenager by chance like patches of drifting duckweed, and could only help him this much.

When he cleaned the teen’s wounds, he was gentle and methodical. The teenager lay motionless on the sofa, his eyes darting about in directions he couldn’t see. After the hot compress, the great beauty told him to repeat the process once more before returning to bed. When the teenager didn’t react, he assumed the teen agreed to it. ad9wfU

Finally, only half a body wound was left. The great beauty watched the teenager gently, but the other averted his gaze. He slid his fingertips over the trousers for a brief moment before quickly removing them.

“No need,” he said, putting back on his filthy shirt. “It’s not that bad.”

The great beauty then sent him out the door. Before he left, he asked for his name.

There was no response. E7T4gb

 

The teenager walked downstairs, put on a mask, and boarded the bus with his head down, carrying his living expenses and the twenty yuan.

When he returned home, he was greeted with a slap across the cheek.

“Why are you so late!” the woman exclaimed, aloud. ZDIjNU

There was excruciating pain in the area where the medicine had been applied.

It was a waste of time.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The teenager considered something. He rose from the ground, handed her the money, and casually lied to her, “Dad was adamant about not opening the door. I had been waiting for over an hour.”

His mother immediately converted her cries into laughter and told him, “You’ve worked well,” before taking the money aside and counting it. r5GMFN

There was a knock on the door of the great beauty’s house the next day.

The young man stood in front of him, his face bloated on the left side but slightly bulging on the right.

A pair of dark eyes stared at him.

“Twenty yuan.” The teenager took out the money and held it out to him, “Help me with my treatment.” rTX5B7

萍水相逢 【pin. píng shuǐ xiāng féng】— Duckweed drifts with the water, gathering and dispersing with uncertainty. It’s a metaphor of the chance encounter of people who have never known each other

  1. Is the kind of novel where we don’t get names? A bit like ‘Yes, I am Straight, what have I done wrong?’ Anyways, my heart aches for the young man!
