Chapter 1: Drifting Life

Next Chapter

Winter night in City A.

The wind was so fast and cold that it was so cold to the heart that it blew into the lungs and caused a heart-rending cough.

Staggering, with a rickety body, she put down the broom that was taller than a person, and sat by the flowerbed, the pain in her arm made her subconsciously hammer.

The streetlights were dim, as gloomy as the gloom in her eyes, a compromise of the numbness and misery of life.

Today's work is completely over, and from tomorrow, even such an undignified job will be lost, and she can only survive by picking up rags.

Having lost so much, she has become numb.

Old, weak, embarrassed, if these terms were not put on Gao Yao's body a few decades ago, it would be a sin, a crime that will be retaliated against.

Decades ago......

Gao Yao laughed silently, who else wants to believe her nonsense now? Believe that a street sweeper was a noble girl in City A a few decades ago?

"Happy Birthday to You......"

The silence of the cold street was shattered by an old, hoarse voice.

The sound of deep and shallow footsteps slowly walked towards her, accompanied by a hoarse singing, which made the originally lifeless eyes full of disbelief.

The glow stick waving in his left hand was incompatible with his age, and his eyes were like hidden stars, so brilliant that people dared not look at them directly.

Walking in front of Gao Yao, the old man grinned, only a few teeth remained, which looked a little funny, looking at Gao Yao's eyes, his heart was full of sadness.

She remembered that today was her seventieth birthday.

The old man was thinly dressed, his lips were shivering with cold, and the strawberry cake he was holding in his right hand was intact, and he solemnly held it in front of the old lady.

"Yao, it's your birthday today."

His eyes were as bright as if he had seen his mother's child, waiting to be complimented just because of the cake and glow sticks in his hand.

She didn't move for a long time, and the old man was a little uneasy, trying to organize a verbal explanation, and finally could only say one sentence: "I'm sorry, the glow stick was picked up......"

"I don't know you." Gao Yao stood up violently and wanted to leave in a panic, but accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

The old man was so frightened that he wanted to help her, but she slapped him away: "What are you doing, I don't know you, I don't know you!" ”

In the end, it was a complete hysterical roar.

Gao Yao trembled and bit his fist fiercely, like an endangered beast.

The man who was ruined by her family and ruined his reputation still said happy birthday to her with the first warmth and the first smile.

She doesn't deserve it!

"Will you let yourself go?"

Spare yourself? What qualifications does she have? She deserved not to be happy for the rest of her life.

"Yao, you love strawberry cake, sweet food can make you happy."

Gao Yao collapsed, got up and slapped the cake in the old man's hand on the ground: "I don't know you, what are you going to do, you want to bully me, a lonely old lady, right?" I don't care about you! ”

After the roar, there was a heart-rending cough, and she covered her mouth and stood up.

The old man stepped forward to see if she was okay, but she pushed her away and sat down on the cake.

Silently lowered his head and looked at his hands: "It's a pity." ”

He picked up the rags for days before he could afford a piece of cake, thinking he would make her smile.

Gao Yao was stung by the old man's expression, and stood up suddenly, his eyes were black for a while, and he couldn't wait to return to normal, so he ran forward in a panic, leaving only one last thought in his heart.

You are not entitled to his care.

Gao Yao's old body was originally clumsy, but this time she ran fast, and suddenly the old man's desperate roar came from her ears, and she covered her ears and closed her eyes.

I only know that leaving is the most correct, otherwise it will affect him.
