"Why are you stopping me? Look at this bastard, with his shifty eyes and yellow hair, you can tell at first glance he's not a good person..."
"Auntie!" The boy sighed helplessly, "Do you know why your fiancé abandoned you?"
Sang Tianen stopped and stared at him.
"Because you are too stingy. You won't even give a bag of potato chips to a poor kid like me." The boy said and started to eat again with a crunch.
Sang Tianen looked at Shi Zhou who was holding him and said, "I want to beat him up, can you help me?"
Shi Zhou turned to the young man and said, "This auntie is drunk, but what are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night, kid?"
"Suicide," the young man said in a normal tone. "I was planning to commit suicide half a month ago, so I went up the mountain to draw a fortune. The old Taoist priest said today is a good day for everything, so I came here."
"And then I met you two down-and-out women. I almost fell asleep listening to you all talk about life and marriage."
"Then I woke up because I had to pee, and then I was caught by this aunt."
The boy poured the crumbs at the bottom of the bag into his mouth, then tore open a bag of braised claws from the plastic bag and started to chew on them.
"Why would you commit suicide at such a young age?" Sang Tianen looked at the boy's nonchalant expression and said angrily, "It's so cold, and you chose to jump into the river when you have a blister on your head."
"I don't want to live anymore. As long as I can die, I don't care whether it's freezing to death or drowning."
"Little brother, your idea is wrong. At your age, you should have a lot of happy things to do. How can you have such an idea?" Shi Zhou also advised.
The boy licked his lips and said, "I'm different from you. My parents divorced when I was young, and they all thought I was a burden. I was raised by my grandmother."
"Later, my grandmother died, and my parents still didn't want to support me. I couldn't work, so I found myself a girlfriend."
"She gave me 2,000 yuan a month, so I stayed with her. Later, her husband showed up, and the matter was brought to the school."
"After the principal learned about this, he talked to me and hoped that I would voluntarily withdraw from school, but I disagreed."
"I slept with that fat guy for so long just to go to school. Then my classmates locked me in the men's bathroom. They tore up all my books and told me to go home."
"I didn't care about it at first. After all, I've been through it so many times that I've let it go. But I didn't expect my parents to find out about it."
"They said I was bringing disgrace to the family, that I was immoral, that I was horny at such a young age, and told me to die quickly."
"I thought about it for a whole night and felt that they were right. I was born by them, and if they wanted me to die, what was the point of me living? So I decided to die."
After hearing what the boy said, Shi Zhou frowned: "Well, this matter can't be blamed on you. This is your parents' fault."
When the young man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Auntie, you are a very nice person. Why don't you be my mother? I am willing to be your son as long as you are willing to give me 2,000 yuan every month."
Shi Zhou: “…”
Sang Tianen glanced at her and said to the boy whose mouth was full of oil, "Alright, it's just about school. I'll pay for your tuition and I don't need you to sleep with me. When I'm old and can't move, you can come and remove my oxygen tube when you have time."
The boy immediately opened his eyes wide, knelt on the ground, kowtowed firmly, and shouted, "Mom!"
Sang Tianen: “…”
Shi Zhou couldn't help but laugh.
Sang Tianen drank too much, his head was throbbing, and he wanted to sleep, so he asked Shi Zhou: "How much did you drink just now? Can you take me home?"
Shi Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I took two sips, but it was too cold."
"Pack your things and let's go." Sang Tianen waved to her and Shi Zhou began to pack up.
The young man grabbed the corner of Sang Tianen's clothes and said coquettishly, "Auntie, please take me with you as well. Be a good person to the end."
"Where do you live?" Sang Tianen asked him.
"I have no home. The house where my grandmother and I lived collapsed a long time ago. Now we have nowhere to live."
"Sure bragging, but where did you live before?"
The boy blinked and said, "I sleep in a nearby bridge hole. There are a few homeless women over there. They always take off my clothes secretly while I'm sleeping."
Sang Tianen pursed his lips and said, "I'll take you to the shelter."
The boy's hands tightened and he said, "I don't want to go. They will contact my parents."
Sang Tianen began to have a headache, feeling as if he had taken on a hot potato: "I'll get you a room, okay?"
"Thank you, Auntie." The boy cheered and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get my things. I've hidden my clothes in a hole. I'll be back in five minutes."
"You must wait for me, don't run away secretly."
The boy ran into the darkness while speaking. Even from a long distance away, Sang Tianen could hear him saying "You must wait for me".
Shi Zhou put away his fishing rod, muttering to himself, "You're just too soft-hearted. You dare to take over such a bad boy? Look at his yellow hair. He doesn't look like a serious guy at all."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Okay, I'm a big talker. Just wait and see. He'll definitely pester you." Shi Zhou said firmly, "There are plenty of guys like him in my hometown. They're full of lies. You can't tell which one is true and which one is false."
"What if it's true?" Sang Tianen asked back, "It's fine if we didn't meet him, but since we did, we should at least help him. We can't just watch him die, right?"
Five minutes later, the young man arrived as promised, carrying a huge and worn bag on his back, which was stuffed bulging with things.
"I didn't expect you were really waiting for me." The young man saw that Sang Tianen and Shi Zhou were really waiting for him, and a dazzling light burst out in his eyes. "It seems that I really met a good person."
Seeing the boy’s happy face, Sang Tianen’s mood also improved, and the three of them drove back to Jingran Community.
Sang Tianen had left in a huff and didn't bring any clothes with her. She planned to pack some luggage and stay in the hotel before Yan Zheng moved out.
As the car door opened, the yellow-haired boy came out. Looking at the tall building towering in the night, he exclaimed, "Auntie, you are so rich. Can I go up with you to take a look? I dream of living in a house like this."
"Study hard and you will be able to live here in the future." Sang Tianen rarely showed a gentle look.
"Auntie, can you take me up there to have a look? I'll just take a look and I promise not to touch anything in your house." The young man looked at Sang Tianen expectantly, "Please, I just want to go and take a look."
Sang Tianen was so frustrated by him that he said helplessly, "Huangmao, I don't know you well. I can take you up there to have a look, but you have to keep your hands and feet under control."
"I'm a germaphobe. If you move things around, I'll chop off whatever hand touched it. Do you understand?"
The young man nodded: "I swear in the name of my deceased grandmother."
