In early autumn, there was heavy rain.
The dark sky seemed to be falling down because of the weather, but after five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark.
Xu Qing strode wildly on the street stepping on the rain, with his trouser legs rolled up high, and the splash of water flew several meters away.
"Xiao Xu, didn't you bring an umbrella?"
The old man in the security booth saw him running towards this side like a wild dog running away from a distance, and took out an umbrella from under the table, and waited for Xu Qing to come close before shaking it twice to signal him to take it.
"It broke down halfway!"
Xu Qing finally ran under the big umbrella next to the pavilion, waved to the old man in the security booth, looked down at his body, wiped the rain from his face and said, "It's all soaked anyway, don't bother."
After finishing the words, he straightened his loose trouser legs and continued to run towards the community.
There were relatively few residents in the old residential area, and there were no people in sight in this weather. Xu Qing ran all the way to the corridor entrance. Keys while walking into the building.
In the dim corridor, the voice-activated lights were awakened by the sound of stomping feet, and Xu Qing was stunned by the figure beside his door.
It was a girl, with her back against the wall, looked up at the light vigilantly, and then looked at him coldly, with a guarded face.
A few strands of hair stuck to her face, and the tips of the hair dripped with water, it seemed that she had walked in the rain...
It wasn't the girl herself that stunned him, but the girl's attire, cosplaying an ancient knight's attire—a retro style of coarse linen clothes, with a sword in front of him in his left hand, a sword hilt in his right, and straw sandals on his feet … in tatters and with bare toes.
dedicated.
Really dedicated.
Seeing the worn-out straw sandals, Xu Qing couldn't help but tsk-tsk-tsk secretly, glanced at them casually, and continued to take out the key to open the door.
Seeing his movement, the girl tensed her body suddenly, her face became more guarded, her back was slightly arched, and she said in a strange accent: "Stop!"
"..."
Xu Qing shook the key in his hand, pouted towards the door, "This is my home."
After a pause, he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
Do you look like a bad guy
It can scare other girls like this from a few meters away...
Seeing the girl slowly backing away, Xu Qing felt even more like a fucked up dog, feeling offended.
"that… "
He opened his mouth and closed it again, took the key and went to open the door, then glanced at her sideways, the vigilance on that little face did not abate in the slightest, Xu Qing had never seen such a look in his eyes, with extreme vigilance, like a A little hedgehog with fried fur.
Shut this inexplicable middle school girl out and locked the door, Xu Qing quickly took off her wet clothes and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
The water splashed down, making him feel refreshed.
After showering in the rain, take a hot shower, then put on pajamas, go to the refrigerator to get a bottle of happy water, unscrew the lid, poof~呵…
Happy.
"Winter melon, come here."
He was not idle while drinking Coke. He turned on the TV with the remote control, then went to the corner cabinet to take out the cat food, poured it into the winter melon rice bowl and fed it.
Winter Melon was originally a stray cat. Two years ago, it lay skinny on the wall of the community, and was stared at by this guy for several days. Then, on an auspicious day, he hooked it up with ham sausage and brought it home to pet.
... A little wild cat, who was forced to be fed like a waste mansion, came over to eat his own cat food.
There is wind and rain outside, but there is Coke and cats in the house.
Xu Qing stretched his waist and looked out the window, picked up his mobile phone and ordered a three-piece set of hamburger, chicken roll and coke, and got to work together.
Two bolts of lightning flashed in the sky, and the dull rumbling thunder came from far to near. The rain was getting heavier. He glanced at the time, then at the door, and after a moment of thought, he found an umbrella from the room and put it under the cat's eye. I looked out.
Didn't see that hedgehog-like girl.
Squeak.
Opening the door and taking a peek, Xu Qing was looking at the cold eyes a few steps away, as well as her defensive movements.
"that… "
He was inexplicably a little embarrassed, this was the first time he was guarded like a wolf.
"It's getting dark soon, and it looks like the rain won't stop for a while. If your house is not far away..." Xu Qing showed a self-confidently kind smile, and raised the umbrella in his hand to signal.
Seeing that the girl didn't move, he tilted his head and continued: "If it's far away, you can call your family to pick it up. I can find security for you. Seeing that you're wet, go home quickly..."
Although this girl is wet, she still looks a little heroic, with a heroic look in her eyes, and she probably doesn't come from here, otherwise she will definitely have an impression.
"Where is this place?" The girl finally spoke, still with that weird accent, her right hand tightly grasping the hilt of her broken sword.
Xu Qing was leaning against the door with an umbrella in her hand. Looking at her appearance, she had some guesses, "This is home and community, look north to the road."
"..."
"..."
The two looked at each other, the girl frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"..."
Xu Qing couldn't accept these words.
Enthusiastic neighbor brother
are you crazy!
"Just call me handsome." He raised his eyelids and said, "Do you want an umbrella? If you don't want it, I'll take it back."
"Salt Gang."
The girl's expression was uncertain. Seeing the long black umbrella in his hand, she finally let go of her guard, her expression eased slightly, she released her hand from the hilt of her sword, and clasped her fists, "I'm a disciple of the Salt Gang. I don't know why I came here..."
"..."
"..."
Xu Qing blinked.
Sure enough, he was sick.
"Which school do you belong to?... Forget it, I'll call the security guard over and see what happens."
Originally, handing an umbrella was a piece of cake, but I didn't expect that she was a middle school girl who was stuck in cosplay and couldn't extricate herself.
He glanced at the girl in the corridor again. She was dressed in coarse sackcloth, her hair was tied behind her head with a rope, and she was looking at him with a sword and fists in her arms. She shrugged helplessly and went back to the room to look for her mobile phone.
If I stayed outside overnight in the rain, or ran around in the rain when it got dark, I might see it on the news tomorrow...
Xu Qing picked up the mobile phone from the sofa, found the security man's number and dialed it. Seeing the girl looking around the room outside the door, she waved her hand to indicate that she could come in.
"Hey, hello, Uncle Zhao, can you hear me?"
After two beeps, the phone was connected. The girl stood at the door and did not come in again. She watched him call with curiosity in vigilance.
"Hello? Hello? Uncle Zhao, I..."
"Looking for a job!!! Where to go??? Looking for a job..."
The advertisement suddenly cut on the TV, Xu Qing was startled by the loud volume, and the girl at the door was also startled, and then...
Boom!
Click!
Sizzle...
The TV on the wall emits blue smoke, and a diamond-shaped iron dart is nailed in the middle.
"Hello, Xiao Xu? What's the matter?" Uncle Security's voice came from the phone.
clang!
The long sword in the girl's hand was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.
Xu Qing looked at the TV, and then looked at the frightened girl who took a step back and was staring at him with a sword, she was frozen in place.
"..."
"..."
"Xiao Xu?"
"It's okay, you are busy."
