She didn't manage to hold on to the coin, a one-yuan coin dropped onto the ground, creating a rattle as it rolled away, coming to rest not too far away.
Gu Qingxin moved immediately to retrieve it. A pair of slippers entered her vision. Upon looking up, she saw Tang Rongling leaning on a crutch standing there.
The adhesive tape was still on his face which was now mostly free of swelling. However, his visage was still too gruesome to behold - mottled with blue and purple hues, showcasing utter dishevelment.
Gu Qingxin walked over to pick up the coin, nodded at him, and prepared to leave.
"Could you help me buy one can?" Tang Rongling suddenly spoke.
Gu Qingxin, "..."
She didn't know what had happened that evening. From her observation, he appeared to be inconvenienced. Helping him out in something small like this wasn't too much to ask.
"What would you like?" Gu Qingxin took the money from his hand and asked nonchalantly.
"Coffee, I guess," Tang Rongling watched her steadily.
