It wasn't that Wu An was cowardly; it was just that Mao Wang was such an abstract character.
It's late at night.
It's raining so hard.
He wasn't wearing a raincoat or using an umbrella.
He just stood there by the door like a wooden statue. When the flashlight shone on him, his face turned as white as a ghost. If someone with a weak heart were in his shoes, they would probably faint from fright.
What's more, Wu An and A Qing had just almost climbed over someone's wall.
If there's a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning, then...
Goodness, this is good enough to make a horror movie.
Wu An cursed and swore.
Every single day.
They are easily startled.
If he hadn't had a strong enough heart, he would have been terrified.
He asked irritably, "What the hell are you doing?"
Aqing walked ahead, looking at Maowang with a wary expression.
There have been no fewer than ten versions of the story about Mao Wang and Shen Fang circulating in the village, and he was afraid that Mao Wang might do something irrational under these circumstances.
"Thump."
Mao Wang suddenly knelt down.
Aqing quickly stepped aside to let Wu An out.
Wu An frowned and pulled Mao Wang up.
Mao Wang didn't want to get up.
As a result, he was not as strong as Wu An.
Open the door.
Enter the house.
Wu An put the umbrella aside and asked, "Don't kneel yet, tell me what you want from me."
Mao Wang sobbed, "I hope you will show mercy and spare me and Shen Fang. Shen Fang has already gone to work in another city. Please make her come back."
Wu An laughed angrily: "Why should I go easy on her? Shen Fang went to work in another city on her own."
"No, it was you. Everyone in the village is saying it was you who did it."
"No, buddy, it's one thing for other people to spread rumors, but you're a party involved with 100% involvement. Are you even lying to yourself?"
"I know you must have a way."
Wu An pointed and said, "Get lost."
We can't talk today.
Mao Wang wouldn't leave; he kept crying.
Wu An was also helpless.
Actually, he and Mao Wang didn't have much of a grudge; they were childhood friends who grew up together. To be honest, if he could lend a hand, he would certainly do so.
But the problem is...
There's no way to help this person.
In his previous life, before his rebirth, he drank heavily with Aqing, and Aqing mentioned Mao Wang, saying that Mao Wang, like him, was still a bachelor in the village.
Why?
It's all because of Shen Fang.
So now, seeing Mao Wang's behavior, he felt inexplicably angry.
It always feels like looking in a mirror.
Grass!
In his previous life, he was just as useless.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Mao Wang, wake up, stop living like this."
Mao Wang suddenly broke down, crying and shouting, "What's wrong with me?"
What did I do wrong?
"Why does everyone advise me and criticize me?"
What's wrong with liking someone?
Wu An shook his head.
I'm numb.
Don't you dare look in the mirror again!
There's no way to persuade them!
He was once just as stubborn and unrepentant.
"Mao Wang, you did nothing wrong."
"Let's go back."
"Take a shower and get some sleep."
"You can do whatever you want from now on."
"I know you may have heard this many times, but I still have to say, there are plenty of fish in the sea."
Aqing nodded and said, "Yes."
"Before, my brother couldn't live without Shen Fang either, but look at him now..."
Mao Wang broke down: "You make it sound so easy! Where am I supposed to find a girl as pretty as your girlfriend? Waaah... If I could find a girlfriend that pretty, I'd never like Shen Fang!"
Wu An stared wide-eyed.
Damn, you bastard, you've got pretty high standards!
Ah Qing cursed and told him to get lost!
Despite all our efforts to persuade him, Mao Wang still left.
Watching Mao Wang's departing figure, Wu An felt somewhat heavy-hearted: "Even dogs don't talk about love."
Aqing looked at him and said, "Brother, have you no shame?"
Wu An's lips twitched: "Unless the object is Gu Anran."
"..." Aqing rolled her eyes: "Brother, you really have no shame."
Wu An: "Get lost!"
After Aqing left and hung the door shut, Wu An looked at the cactus flower on the table. The small flower buds were still blooming, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Anyway.
Shen Fang went to work in another city, which was ultimately a good thing for Mao Wang.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
He did help Mao Wang in a way.
As for the final outcome, it depends on Mao Wang's own choice.
Humans.
The most important thing is to save yourself.
If Mao Wang goes to see Shen Fang again, that will be his fate.
...
The next morning.
It was still raining, not too heavy, not too light. This kind of rain is the most annoying. According to the weather forecast, it would rain for two days. Wu An opened the door and the sea breeze howled.
The weather has worsened again; today is windy and rainy.
Pick up your phone.
I told Gu Anran that I shouldn't visit her home too early or too late, as long as it's not past midnight.
He has to go to town.
Not only did he have to buy gifts, but Gao Qiangqi also asked him to come to the market, saying there was a surprise in store.
Wu An was quite curious about what surprise Gao Qiangqi had prepared for him.
Riding a tricycle.
We went to the market first.
Ah Jin was minding the shop when he saw Gao Qiangqi arrive. He greeted him and said that Gao Qiangqi was in the office.
"Brother Qiang."
After knocking, he pushed the door open and went in. As soon as he sat down, Gao Qiangqi brought over a box: "Open it and take a look."
Wu An opened the box and saw some beads inside. They looked like pearls, but their shapes were irregular. He asked curiously, "What are these?"
He took the biggest one and rubbed it in his hands.
It feels good.
They look even prettier than ordinary pearls.
“Oyster pearls, they came from the oysters you gave me yesterday,” Gao Qiangqi said with a smile. “Without human intervention, there might only be one oyster pearl out of tens of thousands.”
"I ate the oysters, so here are the pearls back for you."
Wu An waved his hand: "Brother Qiang, how can I accept this? If I'm giving you the oysters, they're yours. Besides, you found the pearl in them, that's just your luck."
Gao Qiangqi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we each take half."
"Don't be so polite."
"If you call me 'brother,' you'll listen to me."
Wu An nodded with a smile.
Gao Qiangqi could have simply taken all the pearls; he had specifically called him over to share them, and it would have been inappropriate for him to be polite.
There are six in total, so that each person gets three.
Gao Qiangqi picked first, choosing three small ones. He casually remarked, "These pearls are quite decent. If we were to sell them, I estimate each one could fetch two or three thousand."
Wu An shook his head: "I'm not selling."
"I'm going to my girlfriend's house for dinner, and I'm wondering what gift to bring."
"I think this one is quite suitable."
He's a fisherman, and these oysters were caught by him. These pearls are presentable and can also represent his sentiments.
There's not much to say.
Naturally, she arranged to have a meal with Gao Qiangqi, and they had to have a good drink together. She also asked Gao Qiangqi if he had any experience to share.
Gao Qiangqi told him to get lost.
Despite having many friends and being adept at navigating social situations, he's too busy making money to have time for romance.
He has no shortage of women.
However, he still hasn't found a marriage partner.
