The busker stopped playing his guitar and singing before he turned to look at Sunny when he saw the comments were all about him.
"Hey dude, are you okay?" he asked after putting down his guitar and walking over to him.
Sunny did not want to let others see him cry, so he wiped his tears away with his arm. "Yeah, I'm okay. I… I'm just waiting for someone."
The busker did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you crying, then? Did the person you were waiting for ditch you?"
"Get lost! Mind your own business," said Sunny angrily.
This irked the busker. Anyone would be if they got roared at for caring about somebody. However, he tried to let it slide since he thought Sunny looked like a runaway.
"If you have nowhere else to go, do you want to stay at my place for the night? I'm about done with my gig anyway."
Sunny was very tempted since he was freezing. "Where do you live?"
The busker smiled. "Just nearby here. Wait a second while I pack up my equipment. Then we'll go."
Sunny accepted his offer and stood up to help the busker pack. To him, anywhere would be better than staying outside. He would probably freeze to death if he stayed out any longer.
The busker turned off his livestream, packed up his stuff, and placed the guitar on his back. "Let's go," he said with a smile.
Sunny nodded and followed him out of the underpass. He was so cold and so hungry.
"Dude, where do you live?" asked the busker while they were walking.
"New Capital City."
"Did you fight with your parents and run away?"
"You could say that."
Sunny was stunned, but then he frowned. "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't want to care about me anymore."
Xante ignored his tantrum. Instead, she looked at the busker beside him with scrutiny. "Who's this? And where are you going with him?"
"Just a kind soul who's willing to take me in for the night," replied Sunny darkly.
Xante frowned and rolled her eyes at him. "Haven't your parents taught you anything about 'stranger danger'? Get in the car now!"
Sunny was tempted, but he was not going to let her off the hook that easily. "I thought you didn't want to care about me. Why should I get into your car?" he asked huffily.
"I'm going to count to three, and I'll leave if you don't get into the car by the time I finish counting," threatened Xante impatiently.
Sunny scoffed and turned to the confused busker. "What's the name of your channel?"
"Uh… You can find me by searching 'The Lone Singer'."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
