Jiang Yu said, “Keep walking along this road. Maybe you’ll see it at night.”
“That’s good too,” John said.
The three of them walked along the road together. When they crossed the road, they met an old man.
All the apples in her bag spilled on the ground.
She wanted to bend down to pick them up, but because of her old age, her body could not bend down at all.
The old woman stood rooted to the ground and looked around at the people around her. However, the pedestrians and the passing cars had no intention of stopping.
Jiang Yu saw it and quickly went to the nearest convenience store to buy a bag. Then, she walked to the old woman and helped her pick up the apples.
“Grandma, here are your apples.” Jiang Yu handed the apples to the old woman.
The old woman took the apple and couldn’t help but thank her.
“You’re welcome.” Jiang Yu smiled sweetly.
The old woman took the apple and left. Jiang Yu and the others also took the opportunity to cross the road.
Suddenly, a voice came over and asked, “Oh? Jiang Yu? Are you doing a good deed?”
Jiang Yu felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. She turned around and saw that it was Mary.
She was holding the arm of a strange man. Jessie, who was following beside her, was also holding the arm of another strange man.
“It’s you?” Jiang Yu was a little surprised. The world was neither big nor small, but she actually saw Mary and Jessie here.
“So what if it’s me?” Mary said disdainfully, “Why? Are you dating two men at the same time?”
Mo Long frowned and said, “She’s my fiancée.”
“So you’re her fiancé?” Mary looked as if she suddenly realized something and said, “No wonder Jiang Yu is so unreasonable in school. It turns out that she has a powerful fiancé behind her?”
She smiled disdainfully, and the others also laughed.
Jiang Yu frowned and said, “Mary, this is on the street. Don’t go too far.”
“What do I have to go too far?” Mary walked closer to Jiang Yu, she said, “You were so unreasonable in school because of your fiancé. Without him, what do you think you are? In your words, you should be… a clown?”
As she said that, she deliberately poured the box of hot milk in her hand onto Jiang Yu’s sleeve and pretended to be shocked. “Aiya! Jiang Yu! I’m really sorry! My hand slipped!”
Jiang Yu looked at her new clothes today, and her sleeve was stained with milk stains. She frowned.
“Don’t go too far,” warned Jiang Yu.
Mary said proudly, “I said I didn’t do it on purpose… Ah! What are you doing!”
She cried out in horror, and milk dripped onto the ground from her face.
Mo Long poured all the hot milk in Jess’s hand on Mary’s face.
“This is a warning,” Mo Long said coldly. “If there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as pouring milk.”
As he said that, he continued walking forward with Jiang Yu, completely ignoring the furious Mary behind him.
The two men wanted to step forward to stop Mo Long, but they were scared off by his cold eyes.
“That’s it?” Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “Mary will be so angry that she’ll jump up and down.”
“Let her be,” Mo Long said.
“Did you notice anything after walking for a while?” John had been walking in front and suddenly turned around.
He asked Jiang Yu, “Do you see the dreams of all the people on the street?”
Jiang Yu was surprised that John’s mind could jump out so quickly, but when she stood still, she found that she was standing at the highest point of the road.
Whether she looked forward or backward, she could see a dense crowd.
“Their dreams.” John pointed at the people in front of him and then at the people behind him. “Everyone’s dreams are different, but everyone is living for their dreams.”
Could it be that John had been observing these things since he left the house?
“The old man’s dream might be to live a better life. At least in the future, when he walks on the road, someone will help him pick up an apple if it falls,” John said to himself. “The dream of the delinquent teenagers just now might be to make the person he hates suffer a little… Of course, I’m not talking about you.”
John turned to look at Jiang Yu and smiled.
He said, “I’m just thinking that everyone has a dream to strive for, even if it’s to have a sumptuous meal for the next meal?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yu nodded lightly and said, “Everyone is actually working hard too.”
She suddenly admired John even more. Walking on a simple road, he could see things that could be seen everywhere in this world but no one would care about.
