The Spectacled Man's Encounter

Another hour passed, and Yang Xiao and the other two had reached the mountainside, which, strictly speaking, was the 'Fifth Station'.

Mount Fuji's height is divided into stages, with the first stage called the First Station. The foot of the mountain is the 'First Station', and the mountainside is the 'Fifth Station'. Climbing further up from the Fifth Station leads to the Sixth Station, Seventh Station, and so on, all the way to the Tenth Station at the summit.

Being able to climb to the Fifth Station was already quite good. Wu Shiyin had no intention of climbing any higher and planned to eat a meal on the mountainside and enjoy the scenery.

Of course, there were no restaurants on Mount Fuji, unlike in Huaxia. On mountains in Huaxia, you'd find restaurants waiting for you to eat at, usually near the summit or on the mountainside.

These restaurants were also called Farmhouse Inns. Some Farmhouse Inns were at the foot of the mountain, while others were closer to the summit, ready to tempt hungry and thirsty tourists with their cooking.

However, some people climbed mountains specifically to eat at Farmhouse Inns, so they didn't need any temptation to go.

Shinso Hitoshi also decided not to climb any higher, not far away. He carried only a thin single-shoulder bag. Upon arriving, he opened the bag and took out a bento box that looked very ordinary.

Yang Xiao placed the bags he was holding on the ground, then took out a blue cloth and spread it out.

Wu Shiyin also came to help, taking out the food and drinks from the bags. They sat near the edge of Mount Fuji, where they could see an endless sea of flowers stretching out below.

Toga Himiko picked up a piece of sushi, popped it into her mouth, and smiled with satisfaction. She then opened a drink and took several gulps, exclaiming, "Refreshing!"

Wu Shiyin was also in a good mood and started eating his favorite Chinese dishes. Yang Xiao, on the other hand, had bought some burgers and similar food, but due to the cold on Mount Fuji, his burgers were already a bit cold.

"You might as well eat sushi instead of this stuff," Toga Himiko said with a hint of disdain. "Don't you know it's junk food?"

Yang Xiao chuckled and replied, "But Americans eat this stuff all the time, and they're still very strong, aren't they?"

"Dream on!" Wu Shiyin interjected. "Those Americans have genetic issues, racial issues. If you have Asians eat American food, the effect will be the opposite. This kind of food is only good for occasional consumption; eating it regularly is indeed bad for your health."

Yang Xiao was surprised that these two had such strong opinions about America. It wasn't necessarily a strong opinion, perhaps it was a cultural difference. Every country has its strengths.

Yang Xiao didn't continue the topic and started eating his own food.

They had brought a lot of food and drinks, so they could easily spend an hour eating there. Furthermore, there weren't many tourists at the 'Fifth Station', with only a few people resting here and there as far as the eye could see.

Seeing Shinso Hitoshi and Yang Xiao start their meal, most of the other people also sat down. Some tourists hadn't prepared adequately and had only brought a little food.

"May this beautiful scene be eternal, and all suffering will fade away!" A loud declaration drew everyone's attention.

Yang Xiao turned his head and saw a man in his thirties wearing glasses standing at the very edge, his arms spread wide, looking utterly dejected.

Some people immediately guessed what the man was about to do; he was going to take his own life.

"Wait a moment!" Wu Shiyin immediately stood up and called out to the man not far away. "Friend, if you have anything troubling you, you can talk to me. My Problem Solver handles all sorts of matters and can help you overcome many difficulties."

Yang Xiao looked at Wu Shiyin a bit more closely. Despite his boss often appearing lazy and having a deadpan expression, he instinctively stepped forward without hesitation in this situation. For this alone, Yang Xiao knew that Wu Shiyin was very dependable in certain aspects and was a good person.

The man with glasses paused when he heard Wu Shiyin's words, then turned his head. "Don't be ridiculous. You can't help me with my problems."

"Sir, you can tell us what happened, let us hear it?" a tourist asked.

"Hahaha..." The man with glasses laughed a few times, then said somewhat mournfully, "You want me to share this kind of thing with you? Fine... since I'm going to die anyway, I don't care about my reputation anymore. Listen closely."

"I've only been married for a year. I'm very responsible towards my family, working from nine to five and rarely coming home late. But one day, I discovered my wife was... with another man behind my back... Okay, I could forgive that, as I love my wife dearly. But there's one thing I can never forgive: it's one thing that she did that behind my back, but in the end, even the child wasn't mine!"

By the time the man with glasses finished speaking, Yang Xiao and some others had fully understood. This was a tragedy. It was truly tragic for such a thing to happen in the home of a man who had only recently married. In any case, Yang Xiao couldn't tolerate such a situation; he could only say that the woman had no wifely virtue and was extremely wicked.

"How much I loved my wife, and yet she treated me like this. Tell me, is there any point in me living on?" the man with glasses said painfully, taking a step forward. He was just one more step away from falling off the cliff.

"Of course, there's a point in living!" Wu Shiyin said, taking a few steps forward. "Life is full of ups and downs, and this is just a part of your long life, a small beginning. Since she's that kind of person, leave her and don't hold onto any attachments. A better life awaits you. Trust me, I can help you get through this."

Yang Xiao looked at Wu Shiyin strangely. He felt that Wu Shiyin had a very rich life experience, otherwise, how could he say such things?

Toga Himiko remained silent, quietly eating and watching everything.

"Forget it, I'll deal with it in the next life..." The man with glasses clearly had no more thoughts about this world. He lifted one leg, preparing to step down.

Yang Xiao knew it would be too late if he didn't act now; he had to save this person.

"Wait a moment, aren't you going to die? Could you let me curse you a couple of times? I've been feeling quite annoyed lately."

Just as Yang Xiao was about to make a move, Shinso Hitoshi's voice came from behind him. That's right, with this guy here, there shouldn't be any problem!

"Uh..." The man with glasses froze. His lifted leg remained suspended. He hadn't expected that even in his miserable state, someone would want to curse him. His anger surged immediately.

This world was truly malicious towards him, playing such a cruel trick.
