It was an old couple with a slightly hooked figure. Both of them had gray hair and ragged clothes. The old woman was leaning on a bamboo cane, while the old man was carrying a large cloth bag on his back. The two old men were travel-worn. At a glance, one could tell that they were beggars on the streets of Zhonghai City.
This kind of gray crowd was not uncommon in big cities. Most people were already used to it. Some just ignored them, despised them, and some were helpless to help.
At this time, the old woman was standing at the door of Starbucks, looking at a billboard by the window. On it was a colorful poster.
The advertisement was a cup of fragrant white mocha and a cup of green tea Cappuccino with tempting white cream.
The old woman's eyes showed a bit of yearning. On her dry and wrinkled face, her pair of turbid eyes were slightly lost in thought.
The old man on the side saw what his wife was thinking. He sighed bitterly and reached out to pull his wife's hand. He said helplessly, "When we have enough money, I'll buy you a taste."
When the old woman heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I'm just looking. I don't want to drink it. It's not worth it."
"I know you like sweet things." The old man grinned.
The old woman pretended to be angry and scolded, "Don't waste money. Let's go."
The old man didn't say anything else. Although he felt very guilty towards his wife, they really didn't have much spare money. It was already very difficult to eat in the city. How could they buy a drink that cost a few yuan? Even if they could go in to buy it, it was still a problem.
At this moment, Qiangwei, who had been watching all this time, suddenly stopped in front of the two old people. She smiled and said, "Old granny, this is for you."
As she said this, Qiangwei handed the strawberry lemonade in her hand to the old woman. She had only taken a sip and was basically untouched.
The old woman was startled. She didn't understand why a beautiful girl suddenly popped out and said that she wanted to drink it for her. She immediately came to a realization. She quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Miss, please don't do this. This is too expensive. I can't take it."
For them, a drink that cost less than ten yuan was already a luxury.
The old man at the side was also a little moved. "Young lady, we know that you have good intentions, but we really can't accept it."
"Just take it as me being filial to the two of you so that a bad woman like me can accumulate some merit. Don't refuse," Qiangwei ignored the old woman's rejection and stuffed the drink into her arms.
The old couple was very excited, especially the woman. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her wrinkled face was filled with joy. It wasn't because she could drink the dessert she wanted to drink, but because her heart was moved.
At the age of sixty, they wandered from place to place, running here and there to beg for a living. They were looked down upon by people and suffered a lot. If it wasn't for the fact that they had no other choice, they wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
It was as if when the whole world had forgotten about old people like them, there was a girl they met by chance who smiled and gave them a sweet drink. This kind of comfort was indescribable.
"Miss, I really want to thank you, but you can't say such things carelessly. "A kind-hearted girl like you doesn't need to accumulate any merit. That's what black-hearted villains do." The old man supported his wife and said sincerely.
Qiangwei smiled faintly, feeling a little bitter in her heart. If she didn't say it out loud, who would be able to tell that she was the leader of the underworld? Who would know that she was a woman whose hands were stained with blood? Who would know that her crimes were enough to be shot dozens of times?
Just as Qiangwei was about to bid farewell to the two old men, Yang Cheng, who had been watching from the side, walked over and said, "This drink can't be given away."
Qiangwei and the old couple looked over in confusion, but Qiangwei was very puzzled. She didn't know why Yang Cheng would object.
Yang Cheng winked at Qiangwei, then went forward and handed the drink in his hand to the old man, "I haven't drunk this cup before, take my cup. The one in the old granny's hand has already been drunk, so give it back to my woman to drink. This is what she likes. "
After saying that, without waiting for the old man and the old woman to react, Yang Cheng stuffed his cup into the old man's hand and took back Qiangwei's cup from the old woman's hand.
At this time, Qiangwei smiled in her heart. Her eyes were like water as she looked at Yang Cheng, flowing with traces of deep affection.
The old couple didn't know what to say. They gratefully said "Thank you" many times. Their trembling appearance made it hard to tell whether they were happy or sad.
Yang Cheng handed the drink to Qiangwei and said, "Let's go find a restaurant to eat."
Qiangwei smiled and nodded. She followed Yang Cheng back to the car, while the old couple waved their withered arms behind them, saying goodbye to the two of them.
After getting on the car, Qiangwei was still looking out the window, because the old couple on the street were giving the drink to each other.
The old woman wanted her husband to take a sip first, but the old man insisted on letting his wife drink, afraid that this precious thing wasn't enough.
In the end, the old woman couldn't refuse her husband and could only drink two mouthfuls. Then, she handed it to the old man and let him take a sip as well.
The old man took a small sip and a smile appeared on his dry face. He nodded and probably said that it was indeed very good. Then, he insisted on letting his wife drink the rest …
Qiangwei saw this and said emotionally, "Actually, for someone like Uncle and Grandma, although their days are a bit hard, they can still love each other until they're old. No matter how hard their days are, it's still very sweet to look at each other."
Yang Cheng was also moved. He didn't start the car and looked out the window with Qiangwei.
"Yes, a little." Qiangwei said leisurely, "No matter if we're poor or rich, no matter if we're old or sick, we'll be together for a lifetime. Many people opened their mouths like that when they got married when they were young, but how many of them could actually walk it out together?
I'm thinking, if I can live with you forever, even if I'm the most ordinary laid-off worker, even if I have to worry about the money for daily necessities, I can still be grateful for life. "
"You're starting to let your imagination run wild again. Aren't we together? It's not like I said I'm going to abandon you." Yang Cheng felt a little heartache and reached out to hold Qiangwei's hand tightly.
Qiangwei turned around and looked at Yang Cheng apologetically, "I'm sorry, maybe I was thinking too simply, and I'm not satisfied. If I really had to worry about my livelihood, I probably wouldn't have the mood to think about this.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and suddenly snatched the drink from Qiangwei's hand. He then brought the straw to Qiangwei's red lips and said, "Come, have a sip."
Qiangwei only thought that Yang Cheng was trying to make her happy. She smiled and lowered her head to take a sip.
As soon as he finished, Yang Chen took the drink over, bit on the straw, and took a sip.
Qiangwei blinked her moist eyes and asked curiously, "Hubby, do you want to drink too? Why don't you go buy another cup?"
Yang Cheng put the drink back in the car and smiled, "What, do you dislike your man and don't like sharing a straw with you?"
"No, I didn't mean it that way." Qiangwei pouted, "I just …"
"What is that? Are you afraid that I'm sick? Or are you afraid of catching a cold? "Yang Cheng asked.
Qiangwei said weakly, "You know I didn't mean it that way. I just thought that if you like it, it's fine to buy another cup."
Yang Cheng stretched out his finger and scratched Qiangwei's delicate face, and said, "Darling Qiangwei, I want to tell you, even if I can't be like that old uncle and accompany the woman I love all day, I am still willing to share everything with you. What's mine is yours, and what's yours, I won't be polite.
Even if you get hepatitis, I won't hesitate to drink the drink you drank. I'll get hepatitis with you. If there's one, then there's one. If not, then there's one. It's that simple. "
The man's understated words made Rose's lips and tongue a little dry. Her originally somewhat desolate heart seemed to be filled with warm sweetness, making it difficult for her to breathe, but she wished she could suffocate.
"How can you say something like that? I'm not going to get hepatitis with you." After a long while, Qiangwei finally came back to her senses and shyly rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng rubbed the back of his head with a troubled expression, "Sigh, I said such emotional words, stupid, why didn't you cooperate?"
Qiangwei giggled and quickly patted Yang Cheng a few times, "Stop teasing me, hurry up and eat, I'm hungry. Also, don't call me stupid! "
"Alright, let's go, stupid!"
