The temperature has picked up a bit this week, but it caught up with the rainy season, and it rained endlessly. There will be thunder at night, and every time this time, Qi An'an is worried.
She looked at the dark sky outside, and from time to time, a dazzling lightning flashed across her, she held her chin and thought worriedly, how can Zai Zai sleep alone at this time
It is described in the book that Jiang Lu has only one weakness, which is the fear of thunder. When he was very young, he once stood outside on a thunderstorm night for a whole night, until he passed out from exhaustion, and since then he has had a strong psychological shadow on thunder. From now on, whenever there was a thunderstorm, he would curl up in a corner and endure it by himself.
No matter when he was a pitiful boy or when he was a powerful and vicious boss, his fear of thunder did not let go until the end of the article.
Qi Anan tossed and turned, didn't sleep well all night, and when she came to school the next day, she had two faint dark circles under her eyes.
While putting away her schoolbag, she took a sneak peek at Jiang Lu, but she couldn't see anything, his expression was still cold as usual.
Since he recovered from his illness, he has returned to his old self, with no expressions of emotions or anger. It is impossible to tell if he was scared last night.
"No way, Qi Anan, what did you do last night? Could it be that you stayed up late to study the questions?" Before the class, Yu Tianyang was restless, so he turned his head to talk to Qi Anan.
Qi An'an was still thinking about his own cub's psychological problems, but he couldn't answer in a very perfunctory way: "Of course I have to brush up the questions, and the high school entrance examination is coming soon, so I don't know anything."
"Can't do anything? Damn, you ask me. You have a schoolmaster like me and you still don't need it. How about waiting for the Chinese New Year? I know everything."
While Yu Tianyang was talking, he suddenly felt an obvious line of sight from the side. He turned his head and saw Jiang Lu staring at him heavily for some time.
This is a true learner, Yu Tianyang thinks that he has messed up his class, and slapped his thigh: "If I can't do it, you can still ask Jiang Lu, I'll tell you that you can know everything about the questions, staying up late to do the questions will hurt your body. "
"Besides, it's thanks to you that you were able to learn in the environment last night," Yu Tianyang said angrily, "The thunder is too loud to kill me, let alone studying, I can't even watch TV safely."
Qi An'an's mind was always on Jiang Lu. After hearing Yu Tianyang talk about thunder, she clearly saw Jiang Lu's fingers on the table slowly curling up.
Although his face was still expressionless, the line of his jaw was obviously tense, Qi Anan's heart sank, and he waved his hand to catch up with Yu Tianyang: "Okay, okay, turn back quickly, class will start soon."
Only by seeing it with my own eyes did I know that her family's cubs had such a big psychological shadow, and they would get nervous just hearing the word "thunder".
And the weather is the most unpredictable thing. It just cleared up in the morning, and the sky turned gloomy in the afternoon. When school was about to end, it was covered with dark clouds and billowing clouds, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.
How could Qi Anan rest assured that Jiang Lu would go alone, so he discussed with him: "Jiang Lu, let's go together later."
Jiang Lu's lips moved, his eyes were clearly gentle, but he still refused what he said: "No. The weather is bad, don't go back, ask your home to pick you up."
Butler Chen really wanted to pick her up, but was rejected by Qi An'an in every possible way, which meant that her brother was not at home, otherwise she would not be able to go with Jiang Lu today no matter what.
Hearing what Jiang Lu said, Qi An'an thought for a while and his eyes brightened: "Then if my family comes to pick me up, can you go back by car with me? I'll take you home."
The sound of rain outside gradually started, people on the road hurried, and everyone in the class quietly left without having anything to do with themselves. Only her, talking non-stop in her ear with her sweet voice.
Jiang Lu met her clear eyes full of expectation, subconsciously opened his lips slightly with a thought, but turned his head away again.
He closed his eyes forbearance, and said in a low but firm voice, "No, be careful on the way back." After speaking, he immediately got up and left, his back seemed to be running away.
…
Because of the heavy rain, there were very few pedestrians on the road. Jiang Lu just walked out of the street after leaving the school gate, when the rain suddenly became heavier, and there was a muffled thunder "boom" in the sky.
Jiang Lu stopped in his tracks, his hand holding the umbrella trembled slightly. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, opened his legs and walked forward.
The bright lightning was followed by dull thunder, and there was no intention of stopping again and again. Jiang Lu's palms were sweating, and he squeezed the handle of the umbrella tightly, and his joints turned bluish white due to the force.
Just as he was walking forward stiffly, suddenly a person rushed out diagonally in front of him, blocking his way.
This person is no stranger, Jiang Lu's eyes were cold: "Go away."
Boss Wang's image at this moment is much rougher than last time, the gold chain around his neck is gone, and there is still a stubble on his chin that he hasn't had time to shave.
Hearing Jiang Lu's words, he smiled wildly and ferociously: "Get out? I'm waiting for you here."
He rushed forward and rushed towards Jiang Lu: "Little bastard, do you know how much business I lost because of you?! That lunatic Qi Yan made me desperate, even if I die, I will hold you back!"
Jiang Lu's eyes sank, and he threw the umbrella in his hand with his backhand, hitting Boss Wang hard in the face.
Boss Wang fluttered indiscriminately. After being hit like this, he staggered back two steps, and became even more angry. He yelled and rushed forward again with a fierce face.
Suddenly there was a "bang" in the sky, and the deafening thunder was caught off guard. Jiang Lu's body shook slightly, his mind went blank for a moment and his body became stiff. Boss Wang grabbed his collar.
He grabbed Jiang Lu and dragged him to the side of the road, where his car was parked.
Jiang Lu's pupils were pitch-black, unable to reveal a trace of light. He did not rush to free this disgusting hand, but reached for the side pocket of his schoolbag, where his key was placed, and a foldable key was tied to the key. knife.
Jiang Lu has already held the knife in his hand, and fate has never favored him, he thought indifferently, he came from a muddy background, but he wanted to be a clean man, but God will force him to take a road of no return after all.
The next moment he swung the knife in his hand, and suddenly he heard a "bang", Boss Wang let go of his hand all of a sudden.
Jiang Lu looked up and saw Qi An'an holding the umbrella in both hands, looking at Boss Wang as if he was holding a stick, Boss Wang covered his head in pain, Qi An'an used this umbrella to hit him hard just now head of.
"Smelly girl film, you... Mom looking for death..." Boss Wang recovered a little bit, looking at Qi An'an with strong hatred in his eyes, "It just so happened that you came to the door, and today I even clean it up with you, your brother broke my To survive, I will kill you and throw you in front of him!"
"You deserve it! Who told you to speak badly? Who told you to bully Jiang Lu? You asked for it!"
When Qi Anan came over and saw him grabbing Jiang Lu, he almost died of anger, and even forgot to be afraid, and beat him with his umbrella while swearing, like a kitten with a blown fur, but with a bit of momentum. It's just that there is no umbrella to protect her, and she has already been drenched to the ground.
Boss Wang was caught off guard and hit her a few times. He was already furious, and reached out to grab Qi An'an—
Jiang Lu frowned, his hands were one step faster than his mind, he pulled Qi Anan past her, hid her behind him, and kicked Boss Wang hard in the stomach.
His strength was not weak at all, Boss Wang fell to the ground and rolled over, clutching his stomach in pain. There was too much commotion here. Although it was still raining heavily, some people gradually gathered on the street.
Qi Anan quickly pointed at Boss Wang: "He's a human trafficker! A wretched man! Beat us and arrest us!"
A man with a fierce face and two students who are still childish, people's favorability is biased in one direction, and they look at Boss Wang with hostility.
"It's so arrogant on the street, it's boring and crooked."
"Don't be afraid, he dare not come over."
"Alarm, alarm..."
There are so many people, Boss Wang has some scruples after all. When he saw someone calling the police, a touch of panic flashed in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, staring fiercely at Jiang Lu and Qi An'an, with hatred in his eyes: "You two wait for me! I don't believe I can't kill you!"
After he dropped a harsh word, he clutched his stomach and ran away in a hurry.
After he ran away, the crowd gradually dispersed, Qi An'an was a little worried: "Jiang Lu, what did he do to you just now?"
Jiang Lu shook his head: "He didn't hit me."
That's good, but seeing him like that, he will definitely come again, Qi Anan frowned tightly: "Jiang Lu, he just said..."
Jiang Lu didn't care at all, he grabbed the umbrella from Qi Anan's hand and opened it, covering her head: "Hold it yourself."
Qi An'an took it from Shanruliu, raised it up naturally, and covered Jiang and Lu together under the umbrella.
When the rain stopped in an instant, Jiang Lu stared blankly, lowered his head and frowned, and looked at Qi An'an.
He had never seen the little girl in such a state of distress, her hair was soaked, strands stuck to her fair cheeks, and her usually ruddy lips turned a light pink from the cold.
But this look made her eyes look clean and clear, with black and white distinct, clearly reflecting his figure.
Jiang Lu's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he went to pick up his umbrella in silence, but found that he had hit Boss Wang with too much force just now, and the umbrella's ribs were broken in several places.
"Let's get an umbrella." Seeing that the umbrella Jiang Lu picked up was broken, Qi Anan walked over and tilted the umbrella on Jiang Lu's head, "Jiang Lu, that person just now won't give up easily, if he comes to you again What's the trouble?"
Jiang Lu's brows were tightly frowned, not only did he only make trouble for himself, that bastard also missed her, but she didn't seem to realize it yet.
He looked down at Qi An'an, and his voice was gentle: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"But why..." Qi Anan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Lu.
"Don't rush up again in the future." It's too dangerous.
"Oh..." Qi Anan thought for a while, and then retorted, "But I can't just watch the situation just now. If he takes you into the car, what will you do? Can I still catch up to the car? It’s too late to regret afterwards.”
Jiang Lu was speechless.
Her voice seemed softer in the rain, her tone was natural and serious, as if she was talking about a very common and normal thing.
Suddenly there was a loud thunder in the sky, this time it was louder than before, and it lasted forever, but Jiang Lu didn't tremble anymore.
The sound of the embankment breaking in his heart was even more deafening than that, and the torrent gushed out and blew thousands of miles away.
…
That day when Jiang Lu sent Qi An'an home, he stood at the door of her house, his eyebrows were not as cold as usual: "I will wait for you here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, we will go to school together later."
At that time, Qi An'an didn't understand, she thought that Jiang Lu had already regarded her as a good friend because of this adversity, so she offered to go to school with her.
He came here to wait for her two more streets every day, and would send her home after school. On the way, he spoke very little, but whenever we saw each other in the morning or parted ways at night, Qi An'an could always see the corners of Jiang Lu's slightly raised lips.
He was originally handsome, but when he smiled lightly, he was unbelievably good-looking.
A month later, there was a small news in the city. After the owner of a small design company went bankrupt, he drank heavily one night, stumbled and rolled down the dilapidated stairs of the rental house, and fell to his death on the spot.
After his death, a variety of controlled knives were found in his house, and there were many violent comments on social platforms, with a tendency to seriously retaliate against the society. Later, the police found out that he was running a company that evaded taxes and even involved fraud, and that he had been obscene. There have been several bad incidents such as boys.
This matter once became the topic of discussion for those few days before and after dinner, but Qi An'an didn't pay much attention to it. She was just relieved when she found out. Boss Wang never came to see Jiang Lu, and she was still worried. Now that the person is dead, apart from sighing, she can also breathe a sigh of relief.
But after this incident, Jiang Lu suddenly stopped going to school with her.
