The sun began to set slowly, and the temperature began to drop. The evening wind was a little cold.
Chen Ming sat by the side of the road with a dazed expression.
He still hadn't recovered from what had happened that day.
Her wet and messy hair was still dripping water. The small water droplets were particularly dazzling under the setting sun. They dripped and shattered on the ground.
When he caught it and smelled it, it still had a strange smell.
But it was much better than the sticky, hard, lice-ridden mixture of dirt and hair in the morning.
It was not in vain for him to wash in the river for an hour. If the patrolling river guards had not chased him away, he might have been able to wash a little cleaner.
He had also changed his clothes. This was an old set of clothes that he found in the garbage dump of a residential area in the afternoon. Although it was also very old and dirty, it did not look good when put together.
At least he could still wear it. It was much better than the tattered rags that stuck to his skin and almost fused with his body.
In his hand was a pair of scissors he had picked up for children. One side of the plastic handle of the scissors was broken, but it was still usable. He had trimmed his long nails neatly.
Chen Ming also wanted to cut his shoulder-length hair shorter, but it was a little difficult to cut his hair with the scissors.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Chen Ming's young face.
Due to the long term exposure to the elements, his tanned skin had an unhealthy dark yellow color.
Fortunately, his facial features were very good. If he could dress up properly, he would be handsome.
Looking at the setting sun, Chen Ming sighed.
Oh my god, how am I supposed to accept this reality?
Before meeting the Duke of Zhou last night, this bro was still a successful and slightly famous music producer in the industry. When he woke up in the morning, he had become a homeless man. Everything was the same, but people had changed.
It didn't matter whether he accepted it or not, whether he was willing or not.
This was reality. Chen Ming had transmigrated and was reborn.
He arrived in a parallel world that was similar to his previous life.
Fortunately, according to his memories, this world was exactly the same as the original Earth, including its history.
The only difference was that none of the music and songs playing on the street was something he had heard before.
The original owner of the body was an unlucky person.
Coincidentally, his name was also Chen Ming. He was very young, only 22 years old.
He had been suffering from autistic depression since he was young, but he had an artistic talent that others envied. He was proficient in singing and musical instruments. He had participated in various musical instrument competitions since he was young and could be said to be a genius. During the college entrance examination, he was even specially recruited by the Music Academy.
He should have had a bright future ahead of him, but it didn't last long. That summer, his parents died in an accident, and his depression worsened. He dropped out of the music academy after less than a year.
Without the care of his relatives, he suffered from severe depression, anxiety, and often had hallucinations and delusions. It did not take long for him to end up on the streets.
Chen Ming was an orphan in his previous life and was also a genius. At least, that was how others saw him.
This was because Chen Ming had a photographic memory since he was young, and he had always been a top student.
Of course, it was only later that he found out that it was an extremely rare hypermnesia.
People with hypermnesia did not have the ability to forget.
He could remember everything that he had experienced clearly and could be specific to any detail.
The benefits were obvious, but the pain of not having the ability to forget was also obvious.
Inside the broken package, he found a dirty ID card.
" Alright, at least I still have an ID card. Although I'm a homeless beggar, my ID card photo has delicate features and is much more handsome than my original self." Chen Ming comforted himself.
Compared to this, the most important thing was where to find something to eat. He had not eaten anything for a whole day, and his stomach was growling.
It was not scientific to rummage through the trash can for food. If his extremely weak body could not withstand the risk of falling sick again, it was impossible. Chen Ming was a normal person now.
It was fine to try the food for free in the supermarket. Although the portion was not much, it was still decent food. However, the security guards chased it away as soon as it reached the door.
"Are we really going to beg?
"This bro can't afford to lose face?
"Find a part-time job?
" Although I have an ID card, with my current appearance and this domineering Brother Sharp disguise, the pedestrians on the road are all avoiding me. Who dares to hire me? It's already good enough that they don't chase me away. I'm probably going to make people think that I'm dirtier than the dishes."
Night was coming soon, and he didn't know where he would sleep at night.
Is this forcing me to use my ultimate move?!
If you're in trouble, look for the police!
Her hair was finally dry, and the evening wind was a little cold.
Chen Ming shrank back.
It was time to get off work. There were more cars and pedestrians on the road. The owner of the shop behind them glanced over from time to time. It was probably that sitting for too long had affected their business. It seemed that if they didn't leave now, others would come out to chase them away again.
Chen Ming was still struggling with the thought of finding a cute and respectable police officer.
At this moment, a man stopped in front of him.
Chen Ming looked up.
He was a chubby middle-aged man in his fifties. His hair was a little gray, and his cheeks had been imprinted with many fine lines by the years. Perhaps it was because he had worked hard all day, his face was slightly tired.
He took out his wallet and opened it. His rough hand took out a red 100 yuan from the wallet and handed it over with a smile.
Chen Ming was stunned and didn't know how to react. He subconsciously said,""Thank you, but I'm not a beggar."
The air seemed to freeze.
The uncle was also stunned. He looked at Chen Ming, who had a very young face and was about the same age as his son. His outstretched hand that was holding the money trembled slightly before he retracted it.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. I was rude.”The uncle said and turned to leave.
The sound of leather shoes tapping on the cement road was heard.
Looking at the uncle's back as he left, Chen Ming was instantly dumbfounded and annoyed.
I told you to act tough, I told you to act tough.
She slapped herself ten thousand times in her heart and tears streamed down her face. That was 100 yuan, 100 yuan that saved her life!
I was still alive yesterday. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I'm a successful person. I'll slap myself ten thousand more times. If the heavens give me another chance, I...
He could only find an excuse to say that he had no experience after all. The baby felt bitter.
He sat quietly for a few more minutes, looking at the people coming and going, smelling the fragrance coming from the restaurants and pastry shops on the roadside.
The hungry Chen Ming decided to take action. He couldn't just sit around and wait for death, right? He would try to find a temporary errand job first. At least, he could solve his dinner.
If there was really no one who dared to recruit, then he would go pick up the bottles. He could at least earn three to five yuan.
Since I was able to make a name for myself in my previous life with nothing, even if I change my environment and identity, I won't starve to death, Chen Ming thought.
He stood up and stretched his muscles. His body was a little weak.
Just as he was about to leave, the uncle from before returned with a bag in his hand.
" Young man, you can eat this lunch box first. I don't mean anything else. I just thought that you might be in trouble and need some help." As he said that, he handed the bag over.
Chen Ming's eyes reddened instantly. What was a good person? What was an angel? This was it. There was still true love in the world.
"Thank you. Good people will be rewarded.”Chen Ming took the bag. His voice was a little shaky and incoherent.
"You're welcome. It's not easy." The uncle turned around with a smile and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Sigh, I was so confused just now that I forgot to ask what the uncle's name was.
She felt a mix of emotions. She felt as if she was carrying a thousand pounds of weight, and her hands were trembling.
" One day, I'll find him and repay him a million times over," Chen Ming thought.
Chen Ming couldn't hold it in any longer as he took out the lunchbox. Tears flowed out of his eyes. Under the lunchbox was a red 100 yuan note.
She quickly stuffed her mouth full of rice so that she wouldn't cry out loud.
This day had been thrilling. He had gone from a successful person who was favored by the heavens to a vagrant who was in danger. He had been extremely wealthy until he had nothing.
In the past, people looked at him with envy, but now, people looked at him with all kinds of strange and disdainful gazes.
From being banished to a warm-hearted person sincerely delivering a lunch box.
From despair to gratitude and then to excitement.
On this day, Chen Ming had his first meal in this unfamiliar parallel world. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
