Chapter 39
The man in front of me was the man I met at the garden party.
The lights from the roadside projected onto the man, casting a layer of soft golden light. Perhaps because the night was cool, the man put on a black suit jacket, which made his figure look broader and taller.
Pei Muyang smiled and waved, saying hello, "Why haven't you left yet so late?"
"Waiting for you." The man smiled, and there seemed to be endless friendship in his deep eyes.
"Wait for me? Why are you waiting for me?" Pei Muyang pointed in his direction and smiled in confusion.
"Yes, that's right." The man nodded, looked at Pei Muyang seriously and continued, "It's for Xingyuan."
"Ah... that little goldfish?" Pei Muyang suddenly realized, "Is there something wrong with the goldfish?"
"I'm not very good at raising goldfish, but they are living creatures after all. Since I'm destined to have one, I have to take it seriously and responsibly. So, could you please give me some pointers on raising goldfish?"
So it’s a question of raising pets. Pei Muyang couldn’t help laughing.
From childhood to adulthood, Pei Muyang has raised countless pets, from Samoyeds to pet spiders. There is nothing he doesn't want to keep.
Unfortunately, Ye Shan is also a weirdo with no bottom line in the world of raising children. As long as Pei Muyang likes it, whatever he says is the truth. In the end, her home is like a zoo. At most, she has seven or eight small animals at the same time.
Later, Pei Muyang grew up and his enthusiasm for raising pets gradually disappeared. However, the lifespan of some animals is much longer than Pei Muyang's enthusiasm, so the responsibility of raising pets was entirely given to Ye Shan.
Ye Shan is a person who loves small animals very much. She treats every pet with great patience and love, and even puts in more effort than she does for her own son Pei Muyang. However, no matter how long a pet's lifespan is, it has a limit. Ye Shan said that she is sad and will not keep it anymore. Raising a son is useless, but raising a pet is not the same. It would be really sad if it died.
It wasn't until the last dog passed away two years ago that all the cages, big and small, in the house were sold as scrap.
"Raising a pet... I don't really understand it, but you should at least prepare fish tank food and an oxygen pump."
"Really? But I see there are so many different types of fish, I don't know which kind of feed to buy."
"You can ask the pet shop owner..."
"But it's so late, the only pet shop still open is the self-service one in front. The others have already closed."
Pei Muyang subconsciously glanced at the time on his mobile phone. It was almost ten o'clock, no wonder the restaurant was closed.
“…”
It’s so late, where can I buy fish feed?
Just as he was frowning and thinking, the man opposite seemed to have misunderstood what he meant.
He looked at him and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize this would bother you. Honestly, I don't know what to do, because I really like that little goldfish... It seems Xingyuan will have to put up with it for one night. I'm so sorry."
The man's apology was very sincere. After he finished speaking, he looked at the bag in his hand helplessly, sighed slightly, and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Pei Muyang stretched out his hand and stopped the man who had just taken half a step.
He remembered that he did see a self-service pet store on his way to work. It was open 24 hours a day and accepted payment by scanning a QR code. It happened to be on his way to the subway station.
Anyway, he is not a girl. Is he afraid of being bullied if he walks with strangers late at night?
"I'm on my way, let's go take a look together."
When the man heard this, he immediately turned around and stood beside Pei Muyang, walking side by side with him.
"Thank you so much!" the man said gratefully. "By the way, my name is Jiang Chengyi. Cheng means success, and Yi means comfort."
Jiang Chengyi?
Pei Muyang paused after hearing this. This name sounded so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...
I don't have a deep impression and am not sure, maybe it is possible that they have the same name.
So he didn't care and introduced himself politely, "Hello, my name is Pei Muyang."
"Is it the 'yang' of ocean?"
"No, it's the Yang in Nuan Yang."
Pei Muyang never knew that his smile was like the sun, which could shine into the darkest part of people's hearts no matter what environment they were in.
Drive away the darkness and all things will be reborn.
It was unknown what the man named Jiang Chengyi was thinking. He was just looking at Pei Muyang intently, and was distracted by the fleeting smile.
"What are you looking at?" He looked silly, feeling like a big fool.
Pei Muyang felt a little strange. As someone they had just met for the first time, it was not polite to stare at someone so directly.
"I'm sorry, I know I was rude. Please forgive me. I kept looking at you because you look so much like a friend of mine."
"Your friend?"
Don't believe it.
Pei Muyang secretly curled his lips in his heart. Who on earth was he trying to fool with such a poor excuse?
But the man named Jiang Chengyi continued very seriously, "Yes, a friend of mine... whom I like very much."
"It's a pity that I can't find him."
Oh, that's quite pitiful.
For some reason, Pei Muyang actually saw a pitiful look in Jiang Chengyi's eyes, just like a stinky dog abandoned by its owner, who ran home hungry after going through untold hardships and looked at its owner accusing him of indifference and ruthlessness with his eyes.
"Then why can't you find him?"
"Because I made a very serious mistake, I don't think he will forgive me."
"I see."
Pei Muyang really wanted to say something to comfort him, but he really didn't know what to say. He could only respond dryly and then shut up honestly.
As a result, the man who was not comforted simply lowered his head in silence.
"No...that's not what I meant." Pei Mujiang felt very guilty when he saw this and hurriedly explained.
"After all, I'm not your friend. I don't know what happened between you, so I can't put myself in your shoes and say I forgive you. The hurt you've suffered can't be easily erased. If you truly want to find comfort in your heart, then please find a way to find your friend and ask for his forgiveness."
"Besides that, a casual remark from others won't bring you true relief."
"Then if... I mean if, someone hurts you unintentionally, will you forgive him?"
"Forgive?" Pei Muyang's eyes suddenly turned cold. Thinking of Chen Yiwei, who had destroyed his entire family and whom he wished he could send to hell, he said with hatred, "How can I easily forgive someone who hurt me?"
“…”
Perhaps frightened by the hatred in his eyes, the man looked a little absent-minded, not even looking at the road, and almost bumped into a billboard on the side of the road. It was Pei Muyang who pulled him up and saved him from danger.
"Look where are you? Look at the road."
Pei Muyang was tired.
He also wanted to comfort this stranger and be a considerate person.
But he was too tired.
I really don't have the time to help and comfort others.
The two were silent for a long time, but fortunately they arrived at the pet shop. Pei Muyang helped the man pick out the necessary items for raising goldfish, and then instructed him to scan the code to pay and take the items out of the vending machine and put them into the bag.
"I think there should be a lot of relevant experience posts on pet forums. If you really want to raise goldfish well, you can go there to learn more about their experience."
"Okay, thank you so much for today, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"You're welcome." Pei Muyang waved his hand nonchalantly.
I think when the person said he was like his friend, he actually wanted to seek comfort in his heart, but he remembered his current situation and overreacted, which made the person very depressed. He almost bumped into the billboard. To be honest, he was also wrong in this matter.
So, this is a small compensation.
"Well, goodbye, see you later."
Pei Muyang glanced at his phone, smiled and said goodbye. The subway station was just a few dozen meters ahead, and if he was any later he would miss the last bus.
"Wait." The man hurriedly stopped the person who was about to leave. He quietly looked at Pei Muyang's expression and asked cautiously, "It's so late. As a thank you, can I treat you to a meal?"
"No, it's just a piece of cake. Besides, I have to go home quickly. I'm worried about my mother being home alone."
"Then... can you add me on WeChat? If there's a chance, I'd like to treat you to a meal."
His uneasy hands were tightly clasped together. Pei Muyang looked at him helplessly and smiled. When he took out his hand from his pocket, he was already holding the phone.
"Okay, if there's a chance, let's have dinner together next time."
Although Pei Muyang had no intention of asking this person to treat him to a meal or repay him, he felt that he might really be treating himself as a substitute for his friend.
The friend request was quickly approved after scanning the QR code. Pei Muyang looked at the new friend's avatar speechlessly. The landscape painting that was downloaded from somewhere was so old-fashioned that it could compete with Hua Kai Fugui on the list of most popular WeChat avatars for middle-aged and elderly people.
Hey! He looks even more manly now.
After returning home, Pei Muyang didn't take what happened today to heart.
Adding WeChat seems to have become a very common way of socializing in modern society, unlike in the past few years, when only people who had been together for a long time and were considered to be friends worthy of close friendship would exchange contact information.
Anyway, there are groups and permission settings, so even if you add them, you can prevent them from participating in your life.
Just stay quietly in the advertising group and spend your retirement.
However, a message from "Sword Picking Emei" aroused Pei Muyang's interest.
"My goodness, Boss! Your account was bought by Yi, that high-paying player in Counter-Strike. What's even more outrageous is that he actually traded your account data to a female account named Brilliant as the Sun."
"Just now, just now, that beast actually made these two a couple. Now he's standing at the market entrance parading as the shining husband!!"

Pei Muyang sent a speechless cat emoji, "So killing someone and destroying their heart is possible this way?"
"Boss, don't be angry. Just wait and see how I deal with him. Even if I can't beat him, I'll still make him sick. I'll definitely avenge you clearly, don't worry."
"Okay brother, as long as you're brave, any shit will melt in your mouth. Come on! Oli Ge!"
After saying that, Pei Muyang turned off the screen of his mobile phone and went to sleep without caring about anything else.
