if love is invisible

She didn't look back, quickly took out her mobile phone, and entered 110 before turning back.

However, there was nothing unusual behind him, pedestrians in twos and threes, walking in a hurry, or taking a leisurely walk, and the two sanitation workers were still talking and chatting there, even their postures were similar. a bum.

Two homeless men, one is sitting and drinking water, the other is digging through the dustbin, the two sanitation workers stop chatting, and each takes a broom, the homeless digs out some garbage, and they sweep it into the dustpan, the four of them may have Talking, maybe not, the distance is too far and Chen Mian can't see clearly, all he knows is that the four of them haven't had any conflict for the time being.

Suddenly the homeless man who was drinking water looked over at her, Chen Mian's heart tightened, and she immediately quickened her pace. Starbucks was in front of her, and she immediately went into Starbucks.

In the afternoon, there were many people inside, Chen Mian asked for a cup of coffee, and found a vacant seat after searching the same circle.

Her position is by the window, and she has a good view. She can see pedestrians passing by outside, and she can see people coming in from the store at a glance. This kind of overall view gives her enough sense of security.

Starbucks' coffee was really not that good, she took two sips and then put it on the table. Looking at it again, most of the people who came to the store were students, or couples, who could drink a cup of coffee all afternoon.

Sure enough, the reason why Starbucks can gain a firm foothold in the market does not have much to do with coffee itself and its food.

After staying there for half an hour, Chen Mian was about to leave, but just as he stood up, he saw a ragged homeless man coming in from the door.

The two girls near the door let out a scream, grabbed their things and ran out.

The homeless man paused, lowered his head, and timidly handed over the money in his hand to the waiter: "A cup of hand-ground... coffee, thank you."

It was a handful of crumpled change, with sweat stains on it, or other things, but he smoothed them out and arranged them in order according to the denomination. The waiter didn't pick it up, so he raised his voice and repeated: "A cup of hand-ground coffee, Thanks."

This rough and unpleasant voice is the same voice as the man who fell in front of Chen Mian's car yesterday afternoon!
With a thought in mind, Chen Mian strode over, grabbed the homeless man's money before the waiter chased him away, raised his eyebrows and looked at the waiter, "How much is a cup of hand-ground coffee?"

The waiter suppressed his face and said, "35."

Chen Mian started counting the money, and seeing water stains on it, she took a paper towel from the service table, carefully wiped off the water stains, and quickly counted it, 40 yuan.

She rolled up the extra five yuan in her palm and handed over 35 yuan: "A cup of hand-ground coffee, thank you."

The waiter looked at the money and was a little hesitant. Although the money had been wiped and there was no water stain, it must be very dirty after being held and squeezed by a tramp.

Thinking of this, the waiter seemed to smell the sour smell. He covered his nose and said, "Ma'am, our store supports payment by scanning codes."

Chen Mian: "A cup of hand-ground coffee, thank you."

The waiter's face was a bit ugly: "Please scan the QR code to pay, thank you!"

Chen Mian slapped the money on the table: "A cup of hand-ground coffee, thank you!"

The waiter was also annoyed: "Scan the QR code to pay! Cash is not accepted!"

Chen Mian came up angrily, and just about to roll up his sleeves, the homeless persuaded weakly: "Forget it, forget it...no, don't drink."

Saying that he didn't even want money, he limped out.

Chen Mian became even more angry: "Stop!"

The tramp stopped.

"return!"

The homeless man hesitated for a moment, then returned with his head down.

Chen Mian frowned at him: "You are rich, you can afford coffee! Straighten your body!"

The homeless man stood up straight, but his head was still lowered, his face was blue and black, and he didn't dare to look up at her.

"I... don't drink, it's okay." Wandering said stutteringly.

Chen Mian frowned. If he really didn't want to drink, he wouldn't have walked in. 35 yuan is enough for him to eat steamed buns for three or four days.

The waiter muttered: "A beggar also imitates others to drink coffee. Be careful, this coffee is the last supper!"

Chen Mian's expression changed: "Say it again!"

The waiter was frightened by her aura and did not dare to repeat it.

Chen Mian held her breath and said, "A cup of hand-ground coffee, thank you!"

Waiter: "Cash is not accepted, please scan the QR code to pay!"

He even blew the stack of money away!
The waiter's discriminatory action was like a spark falling into a pile of explosives, and Chen Mian's anger exploded in a flash!

She stared at the waiter, took out her mobile phone, and quickly dialed 110: "Hello, this is Xingba Ke on Jiangping Road, I want to report them for refusing to accept cash!"

The waiter's expression changed.

Being in the service industry and working with coins every day, I naturally know that there is a law in country W that stipulates that no merchant shall refuse to accept cash for any reason, and it is illegal to refuse to accept cash!
Everyone in the store was looking at the male waiter. Rationally, the male waiter knew that at this time he should shut up and accept the cash and then sell a cup of hand-ground coffee to the homeless man, but he couldn't face it, especially when the girl he loved was still there. Beside, he can't just admit cowardice like this, it's very unmanly.

Even when other waiters picked up the money and asked him to quickly issue the order, he flicked it away with his fingers: "I am not refusing to accept cash, I am not doing business with him! There is no law that stipulates that you must not do business with beggars?!"

Chen Mian was so angry that she was about to pat the table. At this moment, a male customer stood up suddenly, strode over, pointed at the waiter's nose and said loudly, "A cup of hand-ground coffee, thank you!"

The male customer is more than 1.8 meters tall and very strong. Standing there is like a mountain. The male waiter wanted to be brave, but was pulled aside by another waitress. The waitress took the money and put them one by one according to the face value. The drawer clicked the form, and handed the form to the homeless man: "Sir, here is your receipt, please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, a packaged cup of hand-ground coffee came out, and the waitress told the homeless man with a smile on her face: "No. 590 [-], your hand-ground coffee is ready."

The homeless man hesitated, timidly did not dare to take it, Chen Mian brought the coffee over and stuffed it into his hand: "Your coffee, take it, don't spill it!"

The homeless man held his coffee cup tightly, bowed slightly to her, and limped out of the shop.

Suddenly there was warm applause in the store, and Chen Mian turned around in surprise. The one who took the lead in applauding was the waitress who took the bill for the homeless. The waitress bowed to Chen Mian: "Madam, thank you for teaching us a lesson."

A student said with a face of shame: "I just... I was actually very angry, but I didn't have the courage. Sister, you are too powerful. I will be such a brave person in the future!"

A young man also blushed and said, "Miss Song, you taught me a lesson too, thank you."

Chen Mian was a little embarrassed, but did not change his face: "I just did what I should do."

After speaking, leave quickly.

The homeless man had already gone to the other side of the road and was limping forward. Chen Mian couldn't explain what was going on with her, but she followed the homeless man across the road until the phone rang in her bag. She just realized what she was doing.

Immediately answered the phone, and looked up after she finished speaking. The homeless man was already sitting on the steps next to a clinic, holding the cup of coffee in both hands, as if treating a treasure.

Chen Mian thought about it, and she suddenly wanted to know what this man went through before, why his vocal cords were damaged, and why his legs were limped, what about his family?None?
Just as Chen Mian was about to cross the road, a long truck drove over. She had to wait for the car to pass first.

However, when the truck completely passed by, Chen Mian only had time to see the figure of the homeless man disappearing at the corner of the street. Chen Mian was inexplicably familiar with that figure from the back.
