It seemed that Lu Xiao wanted the old man to sit in the car to avoid the rain, and indeed that was the case. However, just as Lu Xiao opened the rear door of the car, the old man shook his head and refused to get in, despite Lu Xiao's persuasion.
No matter what Lu Xiao said to him.
Cheng Dongyuan watched the scene, his eyes growing complex.
In truth, it should have been easy to understand; the old man probably felt too dirty and was worried about soiling Lu Xiao's car.
But with the insistence of the old man who collected recyclables, Lu Xiao eventually didn't force him.
Seeing that the old man was reluctant to get in the car, Lu Xiao let him go to the back of the car, near the trunk.
Lu Xiao opened the trunk; its lid rose to form a high arch over their heads, shielding them from the rain.
The trunk was mostly filled with supplies, but Lu Xiao cleared a space for the old man to sit and take shelter from the rain on the trunk's edge.
