Chapter 552 Rainy Night

The sound of metal colliding was intertwined with the sound of running water. The artificial sponge was squeezed by big hands to squeeze out dense foam and slowly flowed into the sewer pipe with the running water. The warm wind sent by the air conditioner caused the cloth strips at the air outlet to swing.

The rain outside still didn't stop, but showed signs of intensifying. Soon, deep purple lightning flashed across the night sky, but no thunder was heard for a long time.

The cold air brought by the rainfall combined with the still warm ground, and white mist evaporated in the air. The environment could not be seen clearly from dozens of meters away. The lights of many plaques on the roadside were also left here, making it slightly unclear.

Dim, yet colorful, it catches the eye.

For some reason, the two of them always met again on a rainy day. She was still sitting in her old position, her head lightly pressed against the window glass, a little cramped. She felt the warmth in the quiet room and recovered the body temperature she had lost just standing in the rain.

Lu Ze wiped his hands, took the washed towel, wrapped it neatly in the lunch box, put it into the thermal bag she brought, and gently pushed it in front of her.

When I turned around and walked into the bar, I couldn't help but retched. I hadn't eaten oil star for a long time. It was hard to get used to eating oily food. No matter how many times I swallowed hard, my throat couldn't get rid of the foreign body feeling.

, even the lips that I wiped several times still feel greasy, not to mention the irritation to my stomach, I feel uncomfortable now.

"Brother Lu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"fine."

He spat and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew in a short time. After a little hesitation, he pasted the white paper on the door glass.

The sound of tearing the transparent tape was loud. She raised her head, but she didn't know that she was looking at Lu Ze. After a moment, she lowered her head again, held Lu Ze's washed lunch box in her hands, placed it on her legs together, and gently

Rubbing the two corners of the thermal bag.

The two of them had not communicated much before, but now they were even more silent, and the atmosphere slowly began to change, from warm and quiet to depressive.

"Then...I'll leave first. Brother Lu, you should rest early."

Before Lu Ze could say anything else, she couldn't stand it anymore. As if to escape from something, she got up in a hurry, walked to the door with her lunch box in her arms, held her hand in the air several times, held the umbrella, and pushed the door with some strength. Suddenly,

The sound of rain hits my ears.

"I'll give it to you, it's raining so heavily."

"Don't bother, I can do it myself. I'm tired from riding in the car, so just close the shop and go to sleep."

Lu Ze was a little surprised by the unthinking answer and the sharp tone that was completely different from the past. In the past, she always spoke slowly and timidly like a rabbit, but now she is more assertive and speaking is interesting.

Before she even opened her umbrella, she walked into the rain. Under the street lights, the various raindrops falling on her head were clearly visible. They gathered into larger raindrops on her smooth hair and rolled down. She was a little anxious, but she was in a hurry.

Hui failed to open the umbrella until the umbrella was snatched away by a stronger force, opened with a bang, and placed on top of her head.

"Stand here, don't move, wait for me."

She still listened, lowered her head and said nothing, but held the umbrella handle a little harder, until Lu Ze held up another umbrella and stood behind her and said something.

"Let's go."

She didn't shirk anymore. She also knew that it was useless to refuse, so she kept walking forward. She had a good memory and kept the road conditions in her mind. She could easily get around places prone to water accumulation. This was not the first time Lu Ze had seen her behave like this.

Even though he is so capable, he still has some admiration in his heart.

Obviously, thinking that Lu Ze was not the only one who got together on a rainy night last time, maybe she was the one who was really impressed. After a few minutes, she still couldn't hold back and asked the question that she least wanted to mention at the moment.

"Brother Lu...are you going to cash out the store?"

"Well, I want to cash it out. I won't be here for long this time, so I thought I might as well cash it out."

Lu Ze was not surprised, nor was she surprised to guess that the store that had been locked for a long time, the paper for writing and drawing, and the tape torn off at the door all indicated that this store was about to end.

She had never hated rainy days as much as she did today. It seemed that any news that made her sad was conveyed to her in this bad weather, just like the rainy night a year ago when the man behind her rejected her love for him.

But this time, after a year of rainy nights, it seemed that this man really wanted to say goodbye to her, or it would be more appropriate to say never see her again.

Her steps never stopped, but each step became more difficult. The mental pain was reflected on her body, and even her legs seemed to have lost weight.

The accident happened. Although she could remember the terrain clearly, she could not avoid the props thrown by low-quality passers-by at any time. She stepped on the ice cream bag and suddenly the sole of her foot slipped. Her weak legs instantly lost their balance. She was conscious.

She turned the umbrella around and tried to hold it up, but she obviously overestimated the cheap umbrella she bought. In an instant, the umbrella broke in the middle. The poor loser seemed to be making a fool of himself again. Fortunately, his out-of-control body was restrained by the person behind him.

He fell down in Lu Ze's arms.

"I told you I had to send you away, otherwise you might as well go back and figure out what kind of fall you would have made. Are you twisted anywhere? Where are your ankles and knees...?"

Lu Ze stopped mid-sentence, and even the smile on his face faded a little. The lunch box dropped with a clang, and he could clearly feel a pair of soft little hands moving along the back of his hand and upstream to his arm.

Then, drops of water fell on the back of his hand, and the warm feeling clearly told him.

This is not rain.

Lu Ze suddenly fell silent, letting her turn around, put her hands on his waist, and then slowly moved up until her white and soft hands gently touched his cheeks. Lu Ze lowered his head and looked at her face.

She seemed to have put on makeup, although it was very light, and she didn't apply lipstick or draw eyebrows. Until the two of them were so close, little traces could be seen when tears streaked down their cheeks.

This was a look that only one person could see. Lu Ze discovered that even a pair of unfocused eyes could still be filled with sadness. After the overflowing mist condensed together, tears dripped down the corners of his eyes, along the

His chin dropped to the ground, mixing with the rain.

At the intersection, the red light turned green, and the light was accompanied by the yellow light from the street lamp. Walking through the thick fog, braving the wind, frost, rain and snow, she found her home in her eyes. She touched Lu Ze for the first time.

The third year of acquaintance.

His red lips were lightly opened, his teeth were white but trembling, and he said something that made Lu Ze, who had experienced countless storms and tasted countless life experiences, and whose heart had long been calm, still flutter.

"Brother Lu...why...why are you so thin?"

She had only touched a hand like Lu Ze's. The skin was loose and she could feel the bones. Such a hand inevitably reminded her of the afternoon when her grandfather died, plus Lu Ze's several retching moments just now.

, an idea appeared in my mind unconsciously.

So panic suddenly surged into his heart, but the panic expression made Lu Ze's heart gradually soften, so he reached out and touched her black hair that was slightly damp from the rain.

"What are you thinking about? Are you afraid that I'm going to die?"

"Afraid……"

She spoke with a tearful tone. In the past, she would have blushed and hid. She still felt the warmth on the top of her head. She expressed her worries straightforwardly, and a smile slowly appeared on Lu Ze's face. But

This time it was very gentle.

"I just lost weight so I look more handsome."

"You're not handsome at all. You need to eat well."

"Really? I accepted your suggestion. I will use it as a reference and gain weight appropriately."

"Don't lie to me. If you don't feel well, you need to go to the hospital. I have money saved. If it's not enough, you can take it all..."

"I'm not going to lie to you, you can't force me to say that I'm sick, right?"

"That was not what I meant……"

She still couldn't stop crying, showing her vulnerability in front of Lu Ze for the first time. It wasn't until more than a dozen cars passed by on a road with very little traffic that she slowly came back to her senses, with a faint blush appearing on her face.

He took his hands away and squatted on the ground in a panic, looking for the fallen lunch box.

"I'll take it. Don't get your clothes dirty. Let's go."

She did not refuse, but pitifully tried to lift up the battle-damaged old umbrella that could not even be held up to protect herself from the wind and rain. However, Lu Ze ruthlessly took it away and threw it into the trash can unceremoniously.

Walking side by side with Lu Ze under an umbrella, he took the trouble to ask about Lu Ze's physical condition. After Lu Ze confirmed again and again, he slowly put his heart back in his stomach.

The road was filled with water and it was difficult to walk, so I naturally walked a little slower until I reached the school gate. The clouds and rain stopped, and the moonlight illuminated the misty land through the sea of ​​clouds. The old man in the security room had already rested, but he did not fall asleep. He saw someone stopping at the door.

Then he lay down by the window, picked up the flashlight, shook it, and quickly turned off the light.

"Go back and get some rest early."

"Well, thank you for sending me back."

"Don't keep thinking about it all day long. Can you take a shower in the dormitory? Go back and take a shower to avoid catching a cold."

"Okay, then I'm going in, Brother Lu..."

After saying that, she didn't move her feet and still stood upright. She seemed to be thinking about Lu Ze's payment to the store again. Somehow, after crying once, it was difficult to control her emotions in front of Lu Ze.

And a little reddish.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Okay... go back and be safe."

Lu Ze put away the umbrella, shook off the rainwater, closed the lid, and turned to leave. When she heard footsteps, she hesitated. She wanted to call Lu Ze, but she didn't know how to speak. After thinking about it, she became a little discouraged.

He was carrying his lunch box and was about to go back to the dormitory, but when he turned around, his footsteps stopped.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. The location of my store is okay. I should be able to redeem it in a few days. Don't go to the store to find me in the future."

"good……"

She really wanted to ask if there would be a chance to meet again in the future, but she lost in the fierce ideological struggle. She frowned, pursed her lips, and finally agreed. She felt inferior in her heart, maybe because of feelings.

It was really a luxury for herself. Thinking of this, she turned her back to Lu Ze and couldn't help but shed tears again.

"I'll come see you later."

She couldn't see Lu Ze's childish smile, and his heavy steps suddenly froze, but suddenly she felt that her body had strength again. Under the illumination of the moonlight, she turned around fiercely, rubbed her eyes hard with her sleeves, and showed a bright smile.

.

"good!"

"..."
