Cordelia placed her slippers aside as she came to the beach to step on the soft sand barefoot. The cool sea breeze brushed past her hair, bringing along the ocean scent.

Seagulls circled the surface farther away while the sun slowly rose from the horizon, staining the sea red.

Cordelia could hardly witness a beautiful scene like this in the city. She watched it in a daze for a bit before suddenly realizing that she had forgotten her phone. She was regretful as she yearned to share the picturesque scene with Marcus.

As she thought about it, she turned back in a hurry, calculating how much time it would take. The sun would have already risen by the time she got Marcus there. It was fine, though. The beach was quite empty, so she could spend some quality time with Marcus here. She had never tried drawing him on the beach!

With a sweet smile, Cordelia hurried on her way. Not too far into her way back, a shadow that popped up surprised her into screaming when she passed by the trash can.

“Ah!” Cordelia stumbled back instinctively.

The person seemed to be shocked as well and quickly avoided her. While he did so, he rummaged through the trash can.

Cordelia stared at the person. He wore tattered clothes and was covered in filth. Only his face was slightly cleaner, but he still looked pitiful. He must be homeless to be rummaging through the trash. Anyone who was not at their wit’s end would not abandon their pride to look for food in the trash…

Cordelia could not help the tightening of her heart.

However, during the few seconds of pause that the homeless guy went past her, an extremely familiar face flashed before her eyes…
