[Easygoing daily life · no System · one heroine · older woman/younger man romance · nurturing girlfriend · healing · everyday warmth] The afternoon the company publicly blamed him for its mistake, 22-year-old Gu Ci quit. He had 2,300 yuan in his account and enough money for three more months of rent. His stomach problems came from working overtime, and there wasn't a soul to talk to in his rented apartment. He was crouched by the roadside in his neighborhood, talking nonsense to a stray cat, when the woman who ran the local supermarket happened upon him and took him home. The next morning, he woke up to warm water, bread, and stomach medicine waiting by his bed. Shen Shuyi, 29, 178 centimeters tall, owner of the neighborhood supermarket. She wasn't the type to fuss over you and ask if you're all right. She simply took over at the register when you were about to mess up, handed you a bottle of water after you finished moving heavy goods, and served up two dishes and rice after closing. “It's just a little mistake. What's the big deal?” The old men in the neighborhood would deliberately pay him extra so he could learn not to panic next time. Zhou the security guard said it was good he'd quit, and the aunties next door took turns bringing him food. He had never been treated with such tenderness. And he had never imagined that the woman who picked him up off the roadside would start looking at him less and less like a shop owner looking at an employee.
