Bean-sized raindrops fell down, and in the blink of an eye, he was completely soaked.
The two looked at each other.
Shen Zhan took off his coat and put it on her head, "The weather is really nice."
"..."
Lin Jiayin's vision was blurred by the rain, she raised her hand to wipe off the rain: "It's, is it okay?"
Shen Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, the cigarette butt slipped from his fingers, and took Lin Jiayin's hand.
"Find a place to hide from the rain."
Before Lin Jiayin could react, she was dragged forward.
Because of the rain, his palms were cold, and they gradually warmed up as he ran.
Lin Jiayin held down the clothes pocketed above her head with her right hand.
There is a faint coconut smell lingering around her, which is the smell of the bottle of laundry detergent she chose.
As she ran, she turned her head to look at him.
The amber pupils were covered with mist, and the slender lips were also wet. The color of the lips was eye-catching, and a drop of water just rolled down on the jaw, which was precarious, as if it was about to wet the Adam's apple in the next second. .
It's embarrassing for others to get wet in the rain, but he is a wet beauty.
Running up from the river bank, I saw a bicycle lying on the sidewalk.
Lin Jiayin stopped: "My bicycle."
Then let go of Shen Zhan's hand.
"What bicycle?" Shen Zhan grabbed her hand again.
The rain was too loud, Lin Jiayin turned up the volume: "That's my bicycle."
Shen Zhan looked over and said, "I'll help you, you go to the opposite bridge to hide from the rain first."
Lin Jiayin nodded, held up the clothes on her head, and trotted across the road.
There are vehicles coming and going on the road, and there are no traffic lights.
"Pay attention to the car." Shen Zhan looked at the running figure and shouted at her.
Lin Jiayin: "I know!"
A gust of wind blew by, and the rain became more urgent.
Lin Jiayin waved: "Come quickly."
Shen Zhan pushed the cart and quickened his pace.
It was dark and the whole city was soaked in rain.
The two stood under the bridge to hide from the rain, with water splashing around their feet.
Lin Jiayin pushed back the wet hair that was sticking to her cheeks, revealing her smooth and full forehead, her face was as white as a lotus flower.
She looked down at herself, but fortunately, only part of it was wet.
The clothes on his head were soaked through.
Turning to look at Shen Zhan again, water was dripping from the corners of his sleeves.
Shen Zhan bowed his head, frowning, twisting the hem of his clothes, and the water fell in streams.
Lin Jiayin thought for a while, and also took his outer shirt in her hand, holding one side with one hand, twisting it into a twist.
Before he started exerting force, a hand suddenly reached out to his eyes.
The forearm is slender and powerful, the skin is cold and white, and blue blood vessels can be vaguely seen.
"I'll do it." He took the clothes, wrung out the water in two or three strokes, and handed them to Lin Jiayin: "Wipe your face."
Lin Jiayin: "Huh?"
The narrow and long eye tails are slightly raised, and the naturally affectionate eyebrows are more bewitching because they are stained with water.
He hooked his lips, and his tone returned to his usual laziness: "Ah, what, do you want me to wipe it for you?"
Lin Jiayin stood on tiptoe, lifted her chin slightly, and said shamelessly, "You wipe it for me."
Shen Zhan smiled, didn't nod, and didn't say yes.
Just when Lin Jiayin was about to wipe himself, he raised his hand, his movements were gentle and careful, from his forehead to his cheeks, to his neck, and even let Lin Jiayin stretch out his hand.
After wiping, he wrung out his clothes again and wiped his face carelessly.
The rain gradually subsided.
Shen Zhan looked at her: "Go back to school by yourself, I won't send you back."
I didn't drive here either. I felt bored after returning home and walked here.
Lin Jiayin pursed the corners of her mouth and said hello muffled.
Shen Zhan looked at the bicycle again: "I'll ride the bicycle back for you, and you can take a taxi."
Lin Jiayin followed his gaze, and her eyes fell on the packing bag in the car basket.
"It's over." Lin Jiayin walked over.
Shen Zhan asked: "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiayin looked at the plastic bag full of rainwater, and said with a mournful face: "Packed barbecue."
Shen Zhan walked over and unwrapped the plastic bag, "It's not wet inside, it's covered by the box." He handed it to Lin Jiayin, "It's still hot."
Lin Jiayin took it and looked at it carefully.
There are only two drops of rain on the outside of the box.
Shen Zhan asked, "Going to eat barbecue?"
"No, I went to find my uncle." Lin Jiayin raised the box in his hand, "He runs a barbecue restaurant, and this is for Tao Mo."
I never heard her mention her family.
Shen Zhan asked, "Uncle?"
Lin Jiayin nodded: "Uncle Dahai, my mother's good friend."
Shen Zhan took out his mobile phone: "I'll take a taxi for you."
Lin Jiayin looked at the sky, then at him, and whispered, "Let's go when the rain calms down."
She wanted to spend more time with him.
Shen Zhan saw through her thoughts and raised his mobile phone: "Then I'll go back to Senhe first, you can wait here for the rain to stop."
"Don't!" Lin Jiayin said anxiously.
Shen Zhan smiled: "Go back to school and change your clothes so you don't catch a cold."
Lin Jiayin shook her head: "No, I'm in good health."
Shen Zhan raised his hand and wiped off the water droplets on her earlobe with his thumb: "Tomorrow is Monday, and I will go to school."
After a pause, he said slowly, "You said you were grieving for something, but it's not that you can't see me."
Hearing this, Lin Jiayin lowered her head, her earlobe was still warm from her fingertips, which made her heart pound. .
"He's obviously short, but he still likes to bow his head." Shen Zhan said.
Hearing this sentence, Lin Jiayin suddenly raised her head and retorted, "I'm not short."
1.65 meters is not tall, but it can't be said to be short either.
"Not short?" Shen Zhan smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
As soon as she exerted her strength, Lin Jiayin threw herself on his chest.
Shen Zhan made a gesture, then rested his chin on top of her head: "It's just a head short."
This action lasted for less than half a second, as if carefully measuring the height difference between two people.
Lin Jiayin was stunned for a long time before she could react, and when her brain froze, she was already standing side by side with Shen Zhan.
The two of them stood silently for a while without speaking.
"The rain has stopped." Shen Zhan stretched out his hand, no rain fell into his palm, he turned his head to look at her, his tone was a bit funny, "Can we go back to school now?"
Lin Jiayin nodded.
Shen Zhan unlocked the lock screen and clicked on the taxi app.
Lin Jiayin looked at the bicycle beside her: "I'll go back by bicycle."
Shen Zhan: "It's just rained, so it's easy to slip."
Lin Jiayin didn't speak, Shen Zhan looked at her for a while, then turned around and walked over to help the faucet.
"Well, lock the bike here and come ride it tomorrow." Shen Zhan pushed the bike and said helplessly, "I'll take a taxi with you, and I'll take you back to school first, and then back to Senhe."
"Okay!" Lin Jiayin laughed.
Shen Zhan frowned, "You take this."
Lin Jiayin took the barbecue and followed the bicycle.
The two found a place to park and locked their bikes.
It's always difficult to take a taxi on rainy days. After waiting for about ten minutes, the driver came over to take the order.
Lin Jiayin ran over first and knocked on the front window, "Master, we got wet from the rain just now, can you take us?"
The driver was stunned, and there was still a saying about whether it could be loaded after he took the order
Besides, it's very common in rainy days,
"It's okay, there is a pack of tissues in the back of the chair, take it out and put it on the seat."
Lin Jiayin: "Thank you, master."
It was dark inside the car, and the street lights were bright outside the window.
Maybe it was washed by the rain, Lin Jiayin felt brand new everywhere she looked.
She withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Shen Zhan.
He accidentally didn't take the co-pilot, but sat next to her after she got in the car.
Shen Zhan was looking down at the phone, and the light reflected from the screen hit his face, which was a bit dim.
"Where did you go today?" Lin Jiayin asked.
The screen went black suddenly, Shen Zhan raised his head, and said in a flat tone, "I'm back home."
Lin Jiayin: "Oh."
Lin Jiayin: "It's nice to have a home here."
Shen Zhan was surprised: "Aren't you from Jersey?"
Lin Jiayin shook her head: "No, my family is in Yichuan, and I came to Jersey only in high school."
She explained again: "My mother was transferred here to work, and I transferred to another school."
Shen Zhan nodded slightly, and after a while, asked again: "Since your mother works in Jersey, why doesn't she see you coming home?"
"My mother, my mother—"
"Huaqing Daxi Second Gate, right? It's here." The driver stepped on the brakes, turned his head and said to them.
Shen Zhan: "Send me a message when you arrive at the dormitory."
Shen Zhan: "Don't forget to barbecue."
Lin Jiayin took the barbecue, smiled at him sweetly, and then turned around reluctantly.
The car started up again and drove forward.
The driver drove the car and chatted with him.
"Is that your girlfriend?"
Shen Zhan glanced at the street scene outside the window, "It's my girlfriend."
"There are not many people who are willing to think about others these days."
"I've been an online hailing driver for two years, and it's the first time I've ever met someone asking me if my clothes are wet."
"Last time, a passenger ate durian in my car, so he didn't accept the order. He opened the windows and doors all the way and let the wind blow through for a day."
…
"My girlfriend is pretty." The driver looked up at the rearview mirror, "Boy, you are also handsome."
"You must cherish those who are talented and beautiful."
Shen Zhan said "hmm".
Seeing that he had no desire to chat, the driver consciously shut up and speeded up.
Lin Jiayin returned to the dormitory, Tao Mo heard the voice, opened the bed curtain, poked her head out: "Are you back?"
"I brought you a barbecue." Lin Jiayin put the barbecue on the table, "Come down and eat."
Tao Mo let out a happy cry, and immediately climbed down.
"It's raining?" She looked at Lin Jiayin whose clothes were half wet.
Lin Jiayin nodded.
Tao Mo: "Then go take a hot bath and change your clothes."
Lin Jiayin pointed to the barbecue on her table: "It may be cold."
Tao Mo sat on the chair and opened the lid, "It's okay, Uncle Dahai baked it, it's delicious even when it's cold."
Lin Jiayin: "Then I'm going to take a shower."
Tao Mo ate the skewers and said vaguely, "Go quickly."
After taking a shower, Tao Mo had already eaten and went to bed again.
Seeing Lin Jiayin coming out, Tao Mo went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth again on the balcony.
Tao Mo walked in: "The barbecue is so delicious, I ate it all up." Thinking of something, her expression changed: "It's over, I'm going to be named tomorrow!"
"It's still Teacher Wang's class!"
Lin Jiayin was wiping her hair: "It won't be much heavier."
The dance major has extremely strict body management. It is reported every Monday that a catty of weight will be fined 100 yuan as class fee. Not only that, but also face morning jogging and other penalties.
Tao Mo hurriedly took out the electronic scale, "I get fat when I eat a little, and I can gain three catties when I drink saliva. It's not like you can't get fat no matter how much you eat."
She was exaggerating, Lin Jiayin said, "How could that be?"
"Don't you believe it... ah, I only gained 0.2kg, and I'll be fine if I don't eat breakfast tomorrow!" Tao Mo happily put the scale back and climbed onto the bed, "I'm asleep."
Lin Jiayin dried her hair, took the hair dryer to the balcony, and closed the balcony door tightly.
In the lowest gear, there is almost no wind.
I stopped blowing it when it was half dry, for fear of disturbing Tao Mo to sleep.
After standing on the balcony for a while, I waited for my hair to dry naturally and then returned to the house, turned off the lights and went to bed.
After climbing into bed, my heart was so congested that I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
The brain is like an automatic projector, the picture of Shen Zhan smoking is constantly presented in the mind, every frame is extremely clear, and every detail is vivid.
Lin Jiayin sat up, stared blankly for a while, then turned her head and took out the cell phone under the pillow, walked to the balcony, and called Shen Zhan.
His number has always been in the address book, but he has never dialed it.
A clear male voice came from the phone, and Lin Jiayin took a deep breath involuntarily.
"Is something wrong?"
"I'm in the dormitory." She thought for a long time before coming up with this opening sentence.
"Well, I saw your message."
Not only saw it, but also returned her.
Lin Jiayin: "You are in a bad mood today."
There was silence for a few seconds before he said, "A little bit."
Lin Jiayin grabbed her phone tightly and looked up at the night sky.
After the heavy rain, the dark clouds cleared and the moon came out.
"It would be nice to have the sun now."
"sun?"
"Yes, the sun is warm on your body and can drive away all unhappiness."
Shen Zhan got up and put out the cigarette, walked to the garden, and looked up at the night sky.
"There's only the moon now."
Lin Jiayin looked at the moon hanging high in the sky: "The moon also shines, but its light is given by the sun."
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile: "You also know that moonlight is reflected light."
Lin Jiayin laughed: "Of course I know."
Shen Zhan: "Finally, I was smart for a while."
After finishing speaking, Lin Jiayin fell silent, as if the sound had gone silent.
She didn't know what else to say.
Shen Zhan walked back into the house: "Call me just to say this?"
Lin Jiayin shook her head: "No."
Shen Zhan asked: "What is that?"
Lin Jiayin replied honestly: "I don't know too well."
There was a whisper from the other end of the phone.
Lin Jiayin said: "I see, I want to take you to bask in the sun, can you see if it's okay tomorrow, if you're free."
Shen Zhan nestled back on the sofa again, and said in a lazy voice, "No time."
Lin Jiayin: "Half an hour is fine."
After a few seconds, he said, "Hang up."
Lin Jiayin waited for Shen Zhan to hang up the phone before putting down the phone.
Unexpectedly rejected.
The soreness in his chest was still there, rushing out first, unable to find a way out.
From the corner of the eye, I saw the time display on the screen—11:26
At 11:30 in the dormitory, a bold idea popped up.
Suddenly, all emotions seemed to find a breakthrough.
Lin Jiayin grabbed her cell phone tightly, went back to the house, changed her clothes, and walked out of the dormitory door lightly.
The author has something to say: Red envelopes will be given out for the comments in this chapter, and there is one more update, and I will send it out after I finish writing it!
