In front of the convenience store.
After Jiang Lingzhi faintly heard these words, she fell into a deep sleep.
It's like returning to that time in a dream...
It rained heavily that day.
After school, when the driver was driving to pick her up, there was a little friction between the car and other cars.
Jiang Lingzhi was waiting at the gate of the school, but she received a call from the driver, asking her to wait somewhere else, it might be a bit late.
At that time, there were not many people in front of the school.
Before it got dark, she went to wait in a convenience store near the school, and by the way did her homework on the desk inside.
When it got dark, the driver called her and said he would be there in five minutes.
Jiang Ling Zhicai put away her things, wearing her school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, looking extraordinarily well-behaved.
Arrive at the door early and wait.
It was still raining heavily outside at the moment, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.
Because she knew it would rain today, she prepared an umbrella in advance.
After coming out of the door, Jiang Lingzhi noticed a person sitting on the next step.
The man was dressed in black, almost blending into the night.
It was only with the dim light cast by street lamps that he could barely see his general outline.
The hat of the man's black sweater was buttoned on his head, he was biting a cigarette in his mouth, burning with a scarlet flame, and he was surrounded by an unfriendly aura.
Jiang Lingzhi has been well protected by her family since she was a child, and has never had contact with people in society.
She will not initiate contact, but she will not feel intimidated either.
At this moment, I just felt a little curious, and couldn't help but stare at that person.
He seemed to have just been exposed to the rain, his hair was hanging down under the brim of the black hat, and the tips of the hair were still dripping, sliding down the bridge of his high nose.
There is hostility all over.
As if aware of her gaze, the man slightly tilted his head and looked at her.
It should have been a fight just now, the corners of his eyes were wounded, and the corners of his lips were also blue.
Those eyes were cold, so cold that there was no emotion.
The night was too blurry, and with the injuries on his face, it was impossible to see the specific facial features clearly.
I can only remember the look in his eyes, a little cold, a little hurt, more of a defense.
Until a few whistles were heard from the side of the road.
The driver lowered the window and shouted: "Miss, get in the car quickly, come here with an umbrella, don't get wet."
Only then did Jiang Lingzhi come back to his senses, and looked away: "Here we come."
When she was about to leave with an umbrella, she suddenly thought of something and looked back again.
The boy had already lowered his head and didn't look at her anymore, but the cigarette butt between his thin lips was still burning with scarlet sparks, which were clearly extinguishing.
Sitting there, he seemed a little lonely for no reason.
Jiang Lingzhi hesitated for two seconds, but still walked towards him, and handed him the umbrella in his hand: "You're already drenched, here's the umbrella for you."
At that time, the little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she spoke with a grandma's nasal voice.
For such a young man with injuries, he didn't have any fear.
The boy raised his eyes, but didn't reach out to take it.
Seeing that the young man didn't pick him up for a long time, Jiang Lingzhi bent down and put the umbrella on the steps beside him: "My driver is here, I don't need it, I'll catch a cold if I get in the rain, you better take the umbrella. "
After finishing speaking, Jiang Lingzhi stood up straight, raised her schoolbag over her head, rushed into the rain, and trotted towards the parking lot.
After she got in the car, she straightened her rain-wet hair, and when she looked out the window, there was no one there.
The umbrella was left alone on that step.
