He was afraid of seeing pity or any other kind of look in his eyes.
He kept his head down, not saying a word, not knowing what to say. He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with one hand, and tried to act natural with the other, but his nails dug deep into his palm, leaving red marks.
Such things are difficult to talk about.
Should he tell her he didn't want to live anymore and to mind her own business? But he couldn't bring himself to say that.
Whatever the reason, the person in front of him saved him.
Shi Yi didn't know what to say; she had little experience in this area.
Worried that if she walked like this, he would jump again, she quietly put her hands behind her back, out of sight, and silently took a bag of sausages from the game.
She wasn't sure if it would work, but eating a good meal should make a big difference when someone is feeling down.
"Um, I bought a lot of grilled sausages, but I can't eat them all. Do you want some?"
Before he could answer, Shi Yi shoved a bag of grilled sausages into his hand.
"Try it, it's delicious, don't waste it." Shi Yi said, "I have something to do, I'll go first."
Shi Yi left after she finished speaking.
"Um, I..."
The boy tried to say something as soon as she turned around, but Shi Yi didn't stop.
Tao Shuheng watched her retreating figure, the still-warm grilled sausage she had just given him still in his hand.
The aroma filled the air, and he stared at the grilled sausage, momentarily stunned.
"Thanks."
Although she couldn't hear, he was sincerely grateful.
He never expected that the warmth that even his parents were unwilling to give him would be given to him by a stranger.
The warmth of the grilled sausage in his hand seemed to gradually seep into his heart.
He lowered his head and smelled it.
It smells very good.
The aroma was so enticing that his attention was completely focused on the grilled sausage in his hand, his nose filled with its rich fragrance.
He had never seen such a fragrant sausage before. When he came out today, there were hot dogs and sausages for sale at the subway entrance, but they didn't smell very good and didn't attract him. He didn't even glance at them, let alone stop to buy one.
He doesn't like this food now. He used to like it but couldn't get it. Now he can afford to buy it himself.
But I never bought it again.
But now someone has simply stuffed a bag of it into my hand.
This bag of sausages has a lot of them; she must have just bought them.
But now it's been given to him.
A thought stirred within him; he wanted to find her and return the sausage to her. But then he noticed a slogan on the bag.
Isn't the meaning of life about savoring all kinds of delicious food?
Yeah?
Is it really okay to make food the meaning of one's life?
He looked up, but the girl from before was nowhere to be seen.
He took one out.
He took a small bite, wanting to savor the grilled sausage.
It was a piece of black pepper roasted meat. He only took a small bite, and the juices started flowing out. In his panic, he had nothing else to wipe it with, so he just wiped his mouth haphazardly with the back of his hand.
It smells so good, and it tastes so good too.
He ate until his mouth was greasy.
Tao Shuheng looked at the grilled sausage, his eyes shining slightly.
Perhaps, using food as the meaning of one's existence would be quite good.
Food might be able to fulfill all his unrealistic desires.
In the darkness, a crack suddenly appeared, and light shone through.
Tao Shuheng followed the light and walked towards it step by step.
He wants to live a good life and enjoy all the delicious food in the world.
Back home, Tao Hengshu packed his things.
