At the end of the summer vacation of her sophomore year, Chu Shuang, who had finished her last course, was on the road to find a job as a tutor.
In the evening, when I was complaining to the little black cat about the weird parents at the school gate, a male voice suddenly came from the dim streetlight next to me:
"Perhaps you would like to try helping my sister with tutoring?"
Chu Shuang looked up, and a tall man wearing a black vest, a black buzzcut, and a cigarette in his hand came into view.
Isn't this the owner of the nearby inn?
Chushuang watched the kitten that was lying next to her running up to the man and rubbing his trouser legs. She couldn't recall what she was thinking at that time. She only remembered that she nodded blankly.
Male protagonist's perspective:
Shen Yingzhou had been busy at the inn all day. When he sneaked out to smoke a cigarette with his sister on his back in the evening, he was forced to 'eavesdrop' on everything a girl said to his little girl.
The street lamp next to the inn was in disrepair, leaving only a faint glow.
Shen Yingzhou couldn't see clearly the girl's appearance, only the sunset revealed a bit of her squatting outline.
Shen Yingzhou said those words for unknown reasons.
When the sunset illuminated that silhouette countless times later, Shen Yingzhou was extremely grateful to himself at that time.
