Madeleine snapped back to her senses, and she saw a cardboard box at the man's feet with some scattered small-denomination bills inside. She pulled out her wallet from her bag, took out several red banknotes, and placed them in the box before asking the man, "Could you sing that song you just sang one more time?"
The man glanced at the money Madeleine had put down, then at her somewhat sorrowful expression, and nodded his head. He played the background music for that song and sang it again.
After the man finished singing, he noticed that the woman standing in front of him had tears streaming down her face, and he couldn't help but ask in a somewhat flustered voice, "What's wrong?"
Madeleine didn't speak, but her tears fell even harder.
The man hastily took some tissues out of his bag and handed them to Madeleine.
