The middle-aged man's gaze was gentle and profound as he focused on Chen Yi's unfocused eyes, sensing his inner loneliness and helplessness. After a moment of contemplation, he softly asked, "Do you have any other reliable relatives or family members? Is there anywhere else you can go?"
Chen Yi slowly shook his head, his voice tinged with a hint of powerlessness. "My parents were both only children, and my grandparents have all passed away. Now, it seems like I really have no other relatives." His words carried a hint of despair, as if the whole world had collapsed in an instant.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and a determined look flashed in his eyes. He gently said to Chen Yi, "So, you can stay here for now. Our bar can let you help with some simple work, so you have a place to stay and can lay low for a while. When the situation stabilizes, we can think about the next step together."
His tone revealed an implicit care and protection. He continued, "If you appear too hastily now, it's very likely to cause trouble again. The person chasing you clearly won't give up. We need to be more cautious to ensure your safety."
Chen Yi quietly listened, although his heart was still filled with confusion and fear, the middle-aged man's proposal gave him a glimmer of hope and stability. In this unfamiliar yet warm place, he could at least find shelter temporarily, have time to contemplate his future, and seek answers.
The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with determination, as if conveying a belief to Chen Yi: no matter how dangerous and complex the outside world may be, this small bar would be his safe haven. Here, Chen Yi could at least temporarily escape from the terror and chaos.
Chen Yi's tears flowed uncontrollably, his emotions like turbulent waves, filled with gratitude and astonishment. In this world full of hidden currents, he never imagined that someone would be willing to extend a helping hand unconditionally. His heart was filled with gratitude towards this middle-aged man, whose warmth was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating his dark world.
Chen Yi's tears fell to the floor, each drop seeming to represent his pain and gratitude. Suddenly, he knelt down deeply to the middle-aged man, expressing his indescribable gratitude. His voice choked with emotion, but filled with sincerity: "Thank you, really thank you so much."
The middle-aged man was momentarily surprised by this sudden gesture, but then reached out with gentle and firm hands to help Chen Yi up. His eyes were filled with compassion and understanding, as well as a hint of determination: "A man's knees are made for gold, a man should not kneel easily. You must remember why you are living. This second chance at life is for your parents, for yourself, and for the future that you must survive for."
These words seemed to inject a powerful force into Chen Yi's soul, giving him a sense of unprecedented determination and hope. His tears gradually stopped, and his gratitude poured out like a flood: "I... I." Although his voice still carried a hint of crying, within that tremor, there was a new strength and determination.
The middle-aged man listened with a smile, his eyes filled with encouragement and support, as if in this brief exchange, he had already accepted Chen Yi and was ready to provide him with a safe harbor in this complex world. In that moment, Chen Yi felt a long-lost sense of security and belonging.
When Lin Fan helped Chen Yi to stand up, he felt an unprecedented sense of gratitude. Lin Fan's eyes revealed a deep and steady warmth, as if he had provided a shelter in this chaotic world. Lin Fan's voice was full of authority and compassion, as if he were a captain who had experienced life and death storms and knew how to find direction in the turbulent sea.
"I am Lin Fan, the owner of the bar 'Passing Through the Night'," Lin Fan said lightly, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable confidence and determination. "Wanqing is my daughter and the only waitress here. From today on, we are companions. Please guide us."
Chen Yi looked at Lin Fan, a hint of shock and admiration flashing in his eyes. In this unfamiliar city, encountering such a tragic fate, he never expected someone to lend a helping hand. Lin Fan not only saved his life but also gave him a new home and hope. For Chen Yi, all of this was like a timely help, making him feel immensely precious and grateful.
"Mr. Lin Fan, thank you," Chen Yi's voice was filled with emotion, tears shimmering in his eyes, "I will always remember your help."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Fan's face, a smile of composure and acceptance, as if he had grown accustomed to the ups and downs of the world, yet still chose to reach out and help those in need. His presence to Chen Yi was not just a lifesaving benefactor, but more like a life mentor, guiding him to find a glimmer of light in this darkest journey.
"Remember why you are alive, don't let this second chance at life go to waste." The words of Lin Fan carry deep meaning, not just as encouragement, but also as a reminder and guidance for Chen Yi's destiny.
Listening to Lin Fan, Chen Yi nodded deeply. He knew that he could no longer dwell in past sorrows, and needed to bravely face reality and find his own path. In this new home of 'Passing Through the Night', he would start a new life and seek out those unsolved mysteries.
