Chapter 3

This development is unexpected. She couldn't believe her eyes. Nervous and in a hurry, she almost hung up. She recovered her breath and picked up the phone.

The next second, the man's low voice came from that end.

"Who is it?"

The breath of reading stopped, fingers unconsciously picking the quilt. She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

And the man at that end was very patient and didn't rush or hang up.

For a long time, shunian said in an obscure voice, "Hello, is that Xie Ruhe?"

I haven't spoken there for a long time. It's so quiet that I can't even hear the sound of breathing.

It's like putting your mobile phone far away, forgetting to cut off this sudden call. Don't care, also don't know the opposite person, is holding what kind of mood made this call.

It's still raining outside the window, splashing like rain, crash, accompanied by strong wind. With the memory of the rain, overlap, overlap together.

I don't know how long it took.

The man opened his mouth, his voice was low, cold and emotionless, like a cold coke suddenly pasted on his face, numb with cold.

"You have the wrong person."

Shunian saw Xie Ruhe for the first time in such a rainy night. Are with a cool, between a breath, into the cold and humid taste.

It was in her second year of junior high school, in the small place of Shiyan town.

It's about twenty minutes' walk home from school.

Winter is coming and it's getting dark quickly. The light on the side of the road is not bright. There are small flying ants flapping their wings inside. The sound of rain in my ears is loud, and the water pits on the ground are bright, reflecting the light.

After school, shunian didn't want to go home too early. He finished his homework in the classroom, and then he left school. Holding an umbrella, she carefully avoided the puddles on the ground for fear of soiling her shoes.

She walked slowly. It was almost seven o'clock before she could see the water bridge near her home.

After crossing the bridge, you will arrive at the residential area where you live.

Shunian was just about to walk past when he heard the sound of abuse coming from the far end. She blinked, thought a little, and in a few seconds she superimposed the voice on a voice in her head.

It's uncle Li Hong who lives next door to her.

"Do you think you can do things?"?! If it wasn't for Yu Peng's introduction, I would have driven you away! " Li Hong was wearing a raincoat, pinching his waist and spitting at Xingzi. "Now these goods are all wet. How can I explain?"

Smell speech, book read stand on tiptoe, side head looks.

In front of Li Hong stood a tall, thin boy with his head down. Loose blue and white school uniform coat, zipper did not pull, revealing the inside of the school uniform short sleeves, pants wear on him appears to be a little short, water drops down the trouser legs.

His face was covered with rain and fog, and only a vague outline could be seen.

I don't know what's going on in the book, so I walk slowly over there.

The closer you go, the clearer you can see the situation over there.

Behind them was a small tricycle with several cartons on it. There was a roof on the tricycle, but there was a hole in it. The rain leaked from it, and the skin of the box was wrinkly.

Shunian knows the car. It's Li Hong's. The ceiling was broken.

Li Hong is still scolding, and even begins to thank Ruhe's shoulder with a domineering look.

"Anyway, today's loss will be offset by your salary!"

Xie Ruhe was pushed back a step, but still did not say a word, head low, from this angle can only see his exposed nose and lips, jaw curve rigid, masseter muscle tight. All over the body.

In this weather, it's like it's going to condense into ice.

The ugly curse continued.

During this period, shunian went to the two men and gave half of the umbrella to Xie Ruhe.

She is very small, her face is small, her skin is white and smooth, her facial features are delicate and delicate. She looks like a porcelain doll.

Shunian looked up at the domineering Li Hong in front of him, and whispered: "Uncle Li."

Seeing shunian, Li Hong's expression is even worse.

"Go home, little boy."

Shunian immediately corrected: "I'm not a kid."

Li Hong gave a sneer.

Shunian pointed to the location of the tricycle and said seriously: "I remember that the ceiling of your car was already broken. This is not the tool you provided him. Is there a problem? You can't leave him unpaid just because of that. "

Li Hong was upset when she pierced his mind. He quibbled: "I gave the goods to him. If there is something wrong with the goods, of course I'm looking for him. Can't I let myself suffer from this dumb loss?"

Shunian was stunned. He didn't go around and wanted to continue to reason with him.

"But this car -"

"come on, don't talk about it. It's boring." Li Hong took out his ears and sat on the tricycle with his feet raised. "What's the matter to preach to me? There's something wrong with his brain."Shunian pursed his lips and said, "don't swear."

"What's the matter with you? If there is a problem with the goods, we should find the person who delivers them. That's the truth with me. What are you talking to me about? " Li Hong turned his head and yelled, "what a bad luck

After that, he didn't wait for shunian to speak, stepped on the pedal and left quickly.

There were only two of them left on the water bridge, quiet and speechless.

Shunian scratched his head, but there was no solution. He had to look at Xie Ruhe and asked, "do you live here?"

Without speaking or looking at her, he turned and walked in the opposite direction of the residential area.

The book read Leng, hurriedly followed up.

His steps are bigger than hers, so shunian has to trot to keep up with him.

The shoes splashed on the puddle, the shoes were stained with stains, and all the careful results along the way disappeared. Shunian was worried. He could not help grabbing the corner of his coat. He was a little angry: "Hello!"

Hearing this, Xie Ruhe stopped.

This action, let the book read light fire immediately dissipated.

Remembering his impolite roar, shunian frowned in chagrin. She pointed to the handle and whispered, "can you help me with this?"

Shunian raised his eyes, just in line with his vision.

His bangs were long and half covered his eyes. So I don't really see it in my eyes.

But it seems to be confused about her behavior.

But this time, Xie Ruhe responded to her words. After a moment of silence, he obediently took the umbrella in her hand.

Shunian whispered thanks and watched him secretly as he opened the zipper of his schoolbag.

The boy's hair was wet, and the drops fell down the end of his hair. His face was very pale. The eyelashes are thick and long, like two small fans. Eyes like paint, clear and distinct. The bridge of the nose is straight and straight, and the lower lip is purplish with cold.

He didn't have a large vocabulary. I didn't know how to describe him.

The word that comes to mind is "beautiful.".

Although gloomy, but it is a very beautiful young man.

In fact, she has nothing to do, just want to give him an umbrella.

Shunian thought about it. He took out a mango jelly from his schoolbag and put it in front of him like a comfort.

"A sugar, please."

Xie Ruhe didn't answer.

Shunian looked at him with round eyes. After a moment's stalemate with him, he tightened his grip on the sugar. She sighed like a little adult and put the sugar in his pocket.

"Rainy day Well, don't get wet on rainy days. My house is right here. I'll run back very fast. "

He still ignored her.

Shunian also had no temper and added: "take back your umbrella and go home early."

After that, she no longer waited for his response, and hung her head to carry her schoolbag in front of her.

Just as he was about to run forward, Xie Ruhe suddenly raised his umbrella in front of her. She was completely covered by the umbrella, and his body was exposed to the heavy rain again.

After a pause, he looked back at him.

The heavy rain drenched his whole body, the hair on his forehead was glued into bunches, and the short sleeves were pasted on his body, outlining his slightly emaciated figure. He was in a mess.

Reading did not pick up, eyes in this rainy day was stained with a layer of water vapor, like two bubble in the water of black beads.

"Aren't you cold? Why not hold an umbrella

Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes to avoid her sight.

Shunian didn't know what to say, but after spending so much time on it, there was no reason to stop. She lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "goodbye then."

She just took a step forward.

The people next to him also took a step forward.

Shunian looked at him and wondered, "or do you live here?"

He didn't move his head. He didn't want to nod at all. Shunian had to say, "then you're in the umbrella too. Let's go."

Silence all the way.

After crossing the bridge, go straight ahead and see a house with an old locust tree in the yard. Turn right and walk to the fourth street lamp. Then you come to shunian's home.

She stopped and said, "I'm here. Goodbye."

Shunian gropes for the key in his pocket and hears Xie Ruhe's footsteps behind him.

She opened the door.

When she looked back, Xie Ruhe had already come to the second street lamp of the road, holding her umbrella in her hand, and her figure was blurred by the rain curtain.

That's right in front of Li Hong's house.

In the narrow yard were the tricycle and an old black bicycle. He stopped suddenly and looked at the bike quietly.

The light and shadow on the pale face are interlaced, and the expression is obscure.

He entered the house.

Hearing the news, Deng Qingyu came out of the kitchen. He noticed that shunian's dirty shoes and empty hands didn't look good: "why is it so late. Where's the umbrella? Give it to someone else again? "Shunian took off his shoes and socks and nodded: "I saw a boy cheated by Uncle Li Hong for his salary, and he didn't bring an umbrella, so he gave it to him."

"I've told you hundreds of times!" Dengqingyu immediately fierce up, "how many people in the world miserable? You can manage everyone? Take care of yourself first! Don't listen to your father's bullshit

"I don't have people all over the world." Shunian picked up his shoes and went into the bathroom. "But I saw it. I can't ignore it. An umbrella is not so expensive. "

She listened to everything she read, but she was as stubborn as her father. Deng Qingyu didn't want to hear so much from her. She looked at her: "did you get wet? Give me a bath and put my shoes first

Shunian stood in front of the washing table and obediently found a basin of blister shoes.

"No, the man sent me back and left."

Silence for a second.

Deng Qingyu took a deep breath and pulled shunian out of the bathroom. This time her voice is no longer high, and seriously, trying to reason with her like: "shunian, I'll tell you one last time. There are a lot of bad people in this world. You can't always be like this. You don't have a sense of preparedness. "

"But all around are acquaintances..." Shunian was frightened by her sudden action, and her words were all in a hurry. "That boy should be about my age, and he was still wearing the uniform of junior high school."

"Bad people are of all ages. And now the rain is so loud that it can completely cover your voice. " Deng Qingyu closed her eyes and looked tired. "Can you listen to my mother? I can't control anyone else, but you're my child. "

“……”

"I'll go home after school, you know? Don't linger outside

“……”

Shunian lowered his eyes and looked at the floor.

After a long time, she whispered, "OK."

Because of this, I can't get up all day. She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but her mother told her that she was as disobedient as a bad child.

The next day after school, shunian no longer stayed in school, carrying a bag to go home.

It's still very bright. The rain has stopped and the ground is getting dry.

On the way home, shunian met many neighbors he knew. She grabbed the schoolbag strap and walked on with a heavy heart. Passing by the house with an old locust tree, she suddenly heard the woman chatting in it mention Li Hong's name.

The pace of reading stopped inexplicably, leaning against the outside wall to listen to their chat.

After listening for a long time, it should be.

When Li Hong went out today, he had to ride his little broken bike. The brake failed and he hit a tree by the side of the road. Half of his leg was broken and he is still in the hospital.

As soon as I read the book, I thought of the last scene yesterday.

The boy stood there as if he had been left alone. Looking at Li Hong's yard, his expression was dark and surly.

I don't think so.

Thinking of what his mother said yesterday, shunian clenched his fist subconsciously and went on in confusion.

It's almost home.

As soon as I raise my eyes, the pace of reading stops again.

The boy she had just remembered was standing in front of her yard.

He was thin, but tall. He stood upright, without yesterday's embarrassment. Dressed in junior high school uniform, looks young, but not with any emotion. Black peach blossom eyes, knife carved nose, dyed Rouge general lips.

With the umbrella she gave him yesterday.

Shunian quietly gave him the title of "the most beautiful junior high school student".

She went over.

Notice her figure, Xie Ruhe side Mou sees to her. He came over, the action is not gentle, directly put the umbrella into the arms of the book read and left.

Not a second.

But Xie Ruhe hasn't taken a few steps.

The next moment, shunian ran to him and pulled him aside. She looks very serious, soft voice down, especially delicate: "do you know Uncle Li Hong into the hospital?"

Xie Ruhe looked at her without expression and didn't say a word.

He looked like this. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was in a hurry: "it can't be you, is it?"
