The man felt like his head was about to burst.
God was too amusing.
What was this supposed to be?
Slap him, then give him a sweet date?
He had no choice but to take it.
"Why am I... so unlucky?"
The man couldn't help muttering fiercely under his breath.
He raked his fingers through his hair.
The frustration in his heart nearly made him feel like he was suffocating.
"When you meet me, you're not unlucky."
Xiao Xiao's lips curved.
The man froze in the middle of his outburst.
That was... such an arrogant thing to say...
The corners of the man's mouth lifted unconsciously.
But...
He couldn't argue with that.
Because the other man was right.
Meeting this young man hadn't just been a stroke of luck.
It had been his good fortune.
Otherwise...
Losing his job was a serious problem.
But it depended on what you compared it to.
In the face of life itself, nothing else was all that important.
The man suddenly saw things clearly.
That's right.
Compared to his life, all his bad luck seemed to have become trivial.
No one could be unlucky forever.
Once his life was over, he wouldn't even have a chance for his luck to turn around.
As long as he was still alive and well...
Just as he'd seemed to have the god of misfortune dogging his every step today, perhaps one day he'd be favored by the goddess of fortune.
They said things turned around once they reached their extreme.
He'd been unlucky enough already...
It was about time his luck started to turn.
The man sprang to his feet.
Xiao Xiao stood up too.
The man gave Xiao Xiao a grateful, sheepish smile.
"I'm sorry."
"I've taken up so much of your time."
