Chapter 354

A young woman handed the cashier a couple of dollars. Nanson was taken aback as he looked at her, feeling a sense of familiarity. After a moment, it clicked, "You... you're the lady I accidentally bumped into this morning, aren't you?"

The young woman paused, then realization dawned, "Oh, it was you."

Nanson offered a sheepish smile, "I'm really sorry about this morning! And thank you for covering for me."

"Life's full of random encounters, meeting here must be fate. You've already apologized this morning," she replied, then added, "I believe in paying it forward. Helping you is like helping myself. Everyone faces tough times now and then."

Nanson was impressed by her maturity. If everyone thought like her, the world would indeed be a much better place.

"Regardless, I owe you thanks. If you don't mind, could we exchange numbers? I'd like to pay you back for the food." He hadn't just bought instant noodles, but also coffee and a sports drink, totaling a pretty penny.

"No need," the young woman insisted. "If you really want to thank me, just lend a hand to someone else in need. That'll be payment enough."
