After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

As night fell, the rain intensified and showed no signs of stopping, and the airport was located in a remote area.

If they hadn't happened to run into each other and received a ride, the mother and daughter would have been stuck at the airport for who knows how long.

"Thank you!" Lan Yujuan said sincerely.

At the same time, he took out his coffee shop's business card from his bag and extended a friendly invitation:

"This is the address of my shop. Come over sometime and I'll treat you to coffee."

The other person smiled, took it, glanced at it casually, and was about to put it in their bag.

However, when I saw the name and address of the coffee shop, I was suddenly stunned.

"A secluded cafe in the hillside?"

"Is this the coffee shop that's been all over the internet these past few days?"

"Many of my female colleagues know about your coffee shop, and they said they definitely want to go check it out sometime during their day off!"

Lan Yujuan never expected that participating in a coffee competition would make her small shop so famous.

She raised her hand to smooth her stray hairs and said with a smile:

"Welcome to join us for coffee!"

"My contact information is also on my business card. Contact me later and I'll give you a 20% discount."

The other person smiled and nodded repeatedly. Before putting away the business card, they casually added Lan Yujuan on WeChat.

Xiaoman, who was sitting next to them, listened attentively to the adults' conversation.

During a break in their conversation, the little guy quickly took out a lollipop from his bag and offered it to the other person.

"Brother, please have some candy!"

The other person took the candy, grinned, and praised, "Thank you, you're so good!"

It was raining outside, but inside the car, everyone was munching on a lollipop, listening to random music, and slowly driving toward their destination.

As the taxi passed through a sparsely populated area, it could be seen in the distance, under the dim streetlights, a man soaked to the bone, pitifully waving to flag down a taxi.

The other person was shivering from the cold, clutching a guitar tightly in their arms, with their luggage lying on the side of the road.

The airport staff member sitting in the passenger seat was clearly reluctant to let it go.

He glanced back at the empty seats in the back, then tried to discuss it with the driver and Lan Yujuan:

"With such heavy rain, that person looks quite pitiful."

"There's no village or shop in sight here, so we probably won't be able to catch a ride anytime soon."

"We happen to have one more seat in our car, and the trunk is spacious enough. Why don't we give him a ride?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan immediately picked up Xiaoman, moved aside, and replied with a smile:

"I'm fine with it, I'll do whatever you say."

At the critical moment, the driver stopped far away and hesitated.

"This...isn't that inappropriate?"

"He was completely soaked and got on the bus, making the seats dirty. Now I can't pick up any more passengers, which disrupts my normal operations."

The young man in the front row said tactfully:

"Brother, I brought plastic bags and a disposable raincoat in my bag. How about I let him use them as a pad?"

"With this awful weather, even the weather forecast is unreliable. Everyone has their difficulties sometimes, so let's help each other out!"

Please!

Upon hearing this, the driver's eyebrows furrowed like caterpillars.

Looking at the "drenched chickens" not far away, I finally spotted a taxi parked on the side of the road with its hazard lights on. I quickly ran over and got closer and closer.

The driver sighed and reluctantly agreed:

"Alright then!"

"However, let me be frank: anyone who appears in this desolate place in the middle of nowhere on a rainy day like this is most likely someone who had a falling out with the driver who was taking his brother and was abandoned halfway through the journey. They definitely have some character issues."

"Even if you two are trying to help others, be careful, lest it become another story of the farmer and the snake."

At first, the young man sitting in front of me didn't pay much attention to it.

The young man slowly rolled down the window despite the heavy rain until the person walked to the car and greeted him.

The moment their eyes met, they both froze.

"Can, please, please, could you give me a ride? Please!"

As soon as the lead singer of the band outside the window opened his mouth to speak, rainwater trickled down his cheeks and into his mouth.

This was completely different from the expression on the other person's face when the young man was at work earlier, when the other person grabbed his collar and was about to beat him up.

At this moment, the lead singer of the band's pleading voice carried a hint of humility and ingratiation, as if afraid of being left on the roadside any longer.

"Stop talking, let's get in the car!"

The driver next to him was about to open the car door when the young man quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"Big brother, wait a minute!"

"I think you're right. Someone who gets dumped on the street late at night doesn't look like a good person."

"Even if we're going to do good deeds, let's be careful!"

The young man successfully prevented the driver from opening the car door, and at the same time rolled up the window, looking at the disheveled man outside, he said:

"I heard you're a big rock star?"

"That kind of weather is perfect! Walking back to the city in the pouring rain is the most avant-garde and rock-and-roll thing ever!"

After saying that, she closed the window completely, leaving the other person in a state of shock and disbelief.

"Brother, let's hurry back to the city before the water rises too high!"

The driver glanced out of the car at the drenched man frantically pounding on the windows and doors, then looked next to the young man who had changed his mind at the last minute, still a little dazed.

"Just like that, you're leaving?"

"Are you really just going to ignore him?"

"Didn't you just say that when we're traveling, we should help each other out and do what's convenient for each other?"

Without another word, the young man raised his hand and pulled down his collar, revealing a bruise on his neck that was already red and purple.

"The man under the car is the passenger who was late for work and missed his flight because of his own reasons, and then caused trouble and assaulted people at the airport."

"I've already been dragged by him once today, and I don't want to experience it a second time."

Upon hearing this, the taxi driver stepped on the gas and drove off, angrily muttering as he drove:

"I knew it! That male passenger who was dumped on the roadside so late at night didn't look like a good person at all!"

"really!"

The young man sat in the front, watching the figure in the rearview mirror gradually shrink, and at that moment, only one word came to his mind:

"Awesome!" He blurted out the word without even realizing it.

After realizing what had happened, the young man blushed and became quite embarrassed.

The other passengers on the bus were stunned for a moment after realizing what had happened, then burst into laughter.

On a rainy night like this, seeing bad people get their comeuppance is just as gratifying as doing a good deed.

The closer the car got to the city center, the less it rained.

By the time we finally stopped at the entrance of the residential area, the rain had completely stopped.

Lan Yujuan got out of the car carrying her daughter; the air was filled with a damp, fresh scent.

Looking at the familiar neighborhood, she thought of the people who were away on business trips and how empty her home was, and felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

When I got home upstairs, there was a light on in the entryway, and I could smell the aroma of food in the air.
