accident
All I can say is that this town is too small. Unless two people deliberately avoid each other, they will eventually meet again.
There were only two breakfast shops in this town, and Feng Yun went to his usual breakfast shop to buy breakfast that day. That's how he met Liu Shiwu again.
The two looked at each other and stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the breakfast stall.
"You, what happened?" Feng Yun hesitated for a while, and finally spoke before Liu Shiwu took the breakfast and left.
"Why are you asking this? Didn't I tell you to mind your own business?" Liu Shiwu's tone was a little impatient.
"Can't you just speak nicely?" Feng Yun was helpless about Liu Shiwu's reaction.
"Why do you know so much about something that has nothing to do with you?" Liu said as he walked away, but he noticed Feng Yun, who had also bought breakfast, followed him. "Ah, I see. You're scared, right? It's more like you have something to hide than meddling in other people's business."
"Why are you following me?" Seeing Feng Yun still following him, he spoke impatiently.
"I'm not following you. I'm going to open the store."
Hearing Feng Yun say this, Liu was speechless for a moment, stopped and made way for Feng Yun to go first.

It was also in the afternoon of that day that I met someone again.
"Everyone's here, why don't you come in?" Feng Yun had actually noticed Liu Shiwu lingering not far from his shop. He said something to Shi Yiqing and approached Liu with a pack of cigarettes.
"Who said I came to see you?" Liu Wenyan refused to admit it.
"I know you're not here to see me, and I also know that other stores are currently out of stock of this type of cigarette." Feng Yun handed him the pack of cigarettes in his hand. He had heard this from a customer because the cigarette business had suddenly picked up today.
This time Liu didn't refuse. After taking the cigarette, he began to fumble in his pocket. He finally found a few crumpled banknotes and wanted to give them to Feng Yun.
"No need for money, these cigarettes are a gift to you." But Feng Yun did not reach out to take them.
"What are you doing? Are you looking down on me? I can still afford a pack of cigarettes." Seeing that he didn't take it, Liu Shiwu stuffed the money into Feng Yun's pocket and left without looking back.

"What's going on? Why do I keep running into you?" Liu Shiwu entered the food stall and had just sat down when he saw someone he didn't want to see sitting at the next table. Liu Shiwu really thought he had seen a ghost. In just one day, he had actually run into Feng Yun three times.
"You're alone here, why don't you come over and have a drink with us?" Feng Yun invited him over when he saw him. It just so happened that the table could seat four people, and now they were missing one.
Liu hesitated for a moment, then went over and sat down. He also happened to know the other two people, and he thought Feng Yun would not mention that matter in front of others.
Next, the four of them drank beer and chatted one after another.
They chatted about trivial matters in family life, troubles at work, and the latest big news... Before they knew it, they were all drunk. Several people fell on the table one after another, leaving Feng Yun alone sitting there without feeling drunk at all, because he had not actually drunk much, he just watched others drink.
Feng Yun finished the last bit of wine in his glass, glanced at the drunkards, sighed, and was a little worried about how to send them home.
"Boss, let's settle the bill." Hearing Feng Yun's voice, Liu Shiwu, who was originally lying on the table, suddenly sat up.
"I'll pay the bill! You, you guys... burp, anyone, anyone... don't compete with me!" He raised his hand and said something drunkenly.
Seeing this, Feng Yun didn't say anything. He took the bill from the waiter, looked at it, and reached out to take out his wallet to pay.
However, Liu Shiwu suddenly reached out and slapped Feng Yun's wallet away.
"I told you I'm here to pay." Liu Shiwu had already stood up and spoke clearly, looking as if he had sobered up. But it only lasted for a few seconds before he swayed and sat back down, still trying to reach into his pocket for his wallet.
During this time, Feng Yun also bent down to pick up the wallet, looked at Liu with a smile, and paid the money anyway.
After Feng Yun settled the bill, he turned around and found Liu Shiwu sitting there with a depressed look on his face.
There was a somewhat empty wallet spread out on the table, which seemed to be Liu's wallet.
"Okay, I'll let you treat me next time." Feng Yun walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said.
"I can't treat you next time. I have no money." Liu's tone clearly showed his depressed mood.
Just as Feng Yun was about to speak to comfort him, he was interrupted by Liu's words.
"You know, I really envy you. I also want to be like you..." Liu Shiwu said with his head down.
"Why are you envious of me?" You should know that Shi Yiqing's parents still don't approve of him. They always think that he led their most obedient daughter astray and abducted her.
"It would be so great if I could be like you, marry the person I love." Liu, perhaps genuinely drunk, paused before continuing. "I only have myself to blame. I was so overconfident back then, thinking someone would always be there for me. I regret it every day, but it's no use regretting it."
"So she deserved to be with someone else. It's all my fault for not working hard enough to send her to school. She was so talented and even got into university, but the older generation's thinking was so different. Her parents didn't want to pay for her tuition, and I couldn't help, so she found a way out for herself." Liu reached out and patted Feng Yun on the shoulder. "So do you know how much I envy you? You've done everything I wanted to do."
"I know exactly where she is now, and I really want to see her, but I don't dare go to her. I have no ability and no money. Even when my mother was sick, I couldn't afford to treat her. I wanted to sell the house, but she refused, saying she would rather die of illness. But I couldn't bear to watch her die, so I ended up in debt and had to work hard to make money, but money is not easy to come by."
"So, I took the initiative to approach them. I know there are some things I can't touch, but I really had no choice. I had to make money, lots of it." Perhaps because he had been drinking, Feng Yun didn't need to ask him this time, so he just blurted out the answer. "They said they were short of some money last time, so I invested all my savings. They originally agreed to give me a share, but I didn't expect them to turn against me and act like nothing happened after taking the money. They swallowed all my money."
"Then let's take this opportunity to draw a clear line with them and start over." Feng Yun sighed after hearing what he said.
"But that was the money I wanted to buy a house. Now it's all gone. I really can't accept it." At the end, Liu's tone was choked with sobs, and he really burst into tears the next second.
"Okay, I'll take you home." Seeing a grown man suddenly lying there crying, Feng Yun couldn't bear it anymore.
He first stopped a taxi, stuffed the other two people in, told the driver the address, and watched the car drive away.
When he came back to help Liu, Liu asked him, "What do you think I should do?"
"What else can you do? Just admit it, or do you want to call the police?" Feng Yun said casually while supporting Liu.
