Towards the end of the evening self-study period, it rained in the sky.

The midsummer rain always comes suddenly, overwhelmingly, and violently cracks silently.

In such weather, when such a foot is about to enter the chaotic third year of high school, there are not many students who participate in evening self-study in the classroom. City No. 1 Middle School has always been lax in the management of students, for free and loose students, compared with those closed schools that treat students as prisoners of labor for the sake of grades, this is a paradise, and they have not yet entered the university, they can already experience the leisurely life of the university.

Jiangchuan City No. 1 Middle School does have this capital.

It has attracted the most of the city's top students, and also has a large number of ordinary students in the city whose family conditions are relatively excellent and pay high school fees.

In fact, at the end of the second semester of the second semester of the second year of high school, the vast majority of students' crooked grades have almost been set, although there are also those who have risen up to catch up with the results in the third year of high school, but after all, they are a minority. All in all, at this time, students with good grades will work harder, and students with poor grades will begin to indulge in playing, especially those boarders who only return home once a month without parental supervision.

Class 156, most of the girls who came to the classroom to participate in the evening self-study that night were boarding girls, the location of the monk was less porridge, everyone could sit casually, some girls who love to talk are three or five people get together, chat and eat snacks and read books by the way, the small life is really leisurely, some hard-working students are alone to choose a remote corner, isolated from interference.

That's how it was at first sight, sitting in a secluded corner.

Sometimes she reads a book to do a topic, sometimes she looks at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze, and sometimes, she wonders if her stepfather, who made herself a ghost because of a fake lottery ticket, has come home. But since I promised her, I guess I went back. That way, mom won't be worried.

Thinking about this for the first time, she looked at the rain crackling on the window, shook her head, and didn't know why, she couldn't help but remember what he said to her when she went to the mahjong parlor in Hongshan in the afternoon: "You said, if a person does something bad, is he unworthy of his life?"

After the bell rang for the evening self-study, the students who participated in the evening self-study left the classroom in twos and threes, and they ran back to the dormitory along the eaves, and soon, there was only one person left in the classroom, the sky was dark and deep, all the lights in the classroom were on, the pale light shone on her reading figure, and the wind and rain poured in from the door, bringing coldness.

It wasn't until nearly half past ten o'clock, when the power in the school building was about to be cut off, that I put away my textbooks, locked the door and left the classroom.

went downstairs all the way, and when I came to the door, I met Lin Zihao.

He probably didn't bring an umbrella, hiding from the rain under the eaves at the entrance of the teaching building, wearing headphones, one hand in his trouser pocket, seeing her coming over, his expression was not surprised, but he subconsciously threw the cigarette in his other hand into the trash, only took off the headphones and said to her with a smile: "Just got out of class?"

Hatsumi nodded.

The two did not say anything more.

Stand under the eaves at the door and wait for the rain to lighten up.

The girl next to him seems to make Lin Zihao a little unsure of what to do, he has always been very personable in front of girls, his body is a little stiff, his eyes are looking straight at the sky, the water column with a big thumb seems to penetrate the heaven and the earth, the rain falls wildly, the raindrops crackle on the ground, and a mist rises, I don't know how long it has been, Xu can't help it, he glanced sideways at the girl next to him, lowered his head slightly, and the warm light reflected on her clear little face, which suddenly reminded him of Sophie in the French movie "Heartbeat". Marceau, his heart was beating hard: "My dad will drive to pick me up right away, let's go home together then." ”

Hatsumi shook his head: "Thank you, no need." ”

Lin Zihao smiled, he couldn't see much loss on his face, and handed the headphones in his hand to Chu Jian: "Listen to the song, listen to the song when it rains, it feels good." ”

At first sight, he was about to speak, when a Honda Accord appeared at the end of the road, and a few seconds later, the car split through the wind and rain and came to the front of the school building.

The car window slid down, revealing a middle-aged man's white face, with a large black mole next to his lips, and a smile in his eyes: "Son, get in the car." ”

Lin Zihao immediately put the shoulder backpack on his head, braved the rain to the car window, pointed to the first meeting behind him and said, "Dad, this is my classmate, I didn't bring an umbrella, you can send her home first." ”

The middle-aged man had already seen the beautiful girl behind him, reached out and touched Lin Zihao's head, and smiled meaningfully, and then, he said to Chu Jian very politely: "This classmate, you get in the car, I'll send you home first." ”

Hatsumi was silent for a moment, and said politely, "No need uncle, my father will come to pick me up later." ”

The middle-aged man heard what Chu Mi said, and nodded with a smile: "That's good, then let's go first, and you can go home early." Then he retracted his gaze and asked Lin Zihao to get into the car.

Lin Zihao hooked his head, his face seemed to be a little boyish unwilling, the middle-aged man just smiled helplessly, and then raised the car window, isolating his sight from the rain.

Hatsumi stood under the eaves and watched the Honda Accord silently slide into the night, the taillights flashing and the engine roaring away.

At that time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the middle of summer, the already hot and dry air suddenly became extremely cold. After the figure of the Honda Accord completely disappeared at the end of the road, Hatsumi looked up at the dark sky, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was also raining in the provincial city of Rijin.

Holding the schoolbag in her arms, she raised her feet for the first time and stepped directly into the rain, and the white cloth shoes embroidered with a jasmine patch under her feet were instantly wet, and a coolness spread from the soles of her feet to her heart.

Brave the heavy rain and walk through the dark campus.

When he ran to the school gate, the panting Hatsumi suddenly stopped, looked at the private car parked in the rain in front of him, the window was open, and through the rain curtain, Lin Zihao and Lin Dad could be vaguely seen.

Dad Lin patted the steering wheel and beckoned: "Girl, it's raining so hard, it's not safe for you to walk at night as a girl, listen to your uncle, okay, hurry up and get in the car, I'll send you home, it's not good to wait for a cold." ”

Many times, it is not easy to say no to someone, especially when the other person is genuinely good for you and you don't seem to have any other options. Of course, you understand that every superimposed friendship will not be light, and all the gifts given have already been secretly marked with a price.

Honda Accord walked through the streets of Jiangchuan in the middle of the night, and when I first saw the branches and leaves cut off by the wind and rain outside the window, I remembered the "Beheaded Queen" that I just finished watching a few days ago.

"By the way, where do you live?"

Dad Lin handed the tissue box to the first meeting in the back.

Hatsumi said politely: "Hongshan Lane, my name is Hatsumi, uncle, I'm sorry for you." ”

Dad Lin replied, he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile unintentionally: "First sight, your name should come from Nalan Xingde's song What kind of life is only like the first time, right?" Hehe, good name, I remember this first surname is in the hundred family names, but our Jiangchuan is quite rare, first time, what is your father's name, where is he from?"

Hatsumi was silent for a moment: "The local, called Chu Dapeng." ”

Dad Lin nodded: "Okay, have a chance to get to know each other." ”

After a while, he stretched out his somewhat stiff hand and turned on the music in the car, which was Chen Shuhua's "When I Woke Up from a Dream": "You said that you made a mistake that you shouldn't have made, and your heart was full of remorse, you said that you had tasted the hardships of life and couldn't find someone you could trust, you said that you felt extremely depressed, and even began to doubt the ...... of life."

In the song, the Honda Accord passes through the stormy night.

When gradually entering the shantytown of Hongshan Lane, Lin Zihao watched as the car turned into a muddy dirt road, on both sides of the dirt road, there were rows of low and dilapidated tiled houses, which were bright to the point of dim and sour light in the dark and rainy night.

Lin Zihao is here for the first time.

He never knew that there was such a slum in Jiangchuan.

When the car arrived at the door of Hatsumi's house, he looked at the three tiled houses that looked like the last century, and seemed to understand why Hatsumi was the first place in the second grade of the city's No. 1 High School all the year round, but what he couldn't understand was how such a poor and backward land raised such a girl as Hatsumi.

While thinking about this, the car had stopped.

Chujian politely thanked Lin Dad and Lin Zihao and his son repeatedly before pushing the door and getting out of the car, but as soon as she turned around, a figure with an umbrella suddenly walked out of the dark courtyard gate: "First time! Girl! Are you back?"

When I first looked up, I saw that the other party was Aunt Yu from the Hongshan Lane Neighborhood Committee, and I was stunned: "Grandma Yu, why don't you go in in such a heavy rain?"

Aunt Yu said "ouch", hurriedly ran over and took Chujian's hand and said: "Girl, you just came back from school, something is wrong! Just now two policemen came to your house, your mother and your sister followed them to the hospital, your mother ran to my house and asked me to wait for you here, and let me tell you, your father, your father had a car accident! It seems that he was seriously injured, and he was no longer ...... when he was sent to the hospital stall."

"Boom"!

A thunderbolt fell straight from the sky.

At first sight, there was a loud bang in my ears, and then, it was blank.

Dark night, heavy rain, cold.

The Honda Accord is on the street late at night, galloping.

The wipers hung up on the front windshield layer after layer of rain that seemed to be endless, but it couldn't scrape the dull atmosphere in the car, Lin Dad, who drove the car fast, didn't say a word, and Lin Zihao in the back seat looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, silently looking at the first meeting next to him, looking out the window at the first time, the lights on the street reflected her pale face, and the rain dripping from the tip of her hair, that appearance was so beautiful that it was suffocating.

Speeding all the way, the car quickly arrived at the hospital.

When I got off the bus for the first time, I said to Dad Lin, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"No thanks, go see your dad. Dad Lin had a smile on his face, the mole next to his lips was shining under the lamp, and he took out six hundred-yuan bills from the black leather bag in the passenger seat and handed them to Chu Jian: "There is such a big thing, a little heart, take it." ”

"No, I don't. Chujian waved his hand and said politely: "Thank you, uncle, you go home early, I'll go first." He pushed the car door open and ran towards the hospital gate.

"First ......" Lin Zihao shouted, and got up to get out of the car and get out of the hospital together, but his hand was grabbed by Lin's father, and Lin Zihao turned his head: "Dad, I want to go over and have a look." ”

"What you should be thinking about now is to go home and sleep!" Dad Lin threw Lin Zihao's hand, lit a cigarette, looked at the girl who was running in the rain and gradually blurred, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "Why did you die, it's strange." ”

Lin Zihao was inexplicable: "What is dead? You said that you saw her father for the first time? You know her father? Oh! By the way, it is impossible for you not to know about her father Chu Dapeng who won the grand prize in the fake lottery." I said why did you suddenly ask the name of her father when you first met her on the road just now, Dad, then you should go and see it, and tomorrow is the weekend, there is no need to go to class, there is such a big thing in the classmate's family, I want to go over and take a look, and care about it. ”

Dad Lin had already started the car and turned the steering wheel: "You have a lot of reasons." ”

Lin Zihao immediately said: "Words from the heart." ”

Dad Lin smiled: "Like you as a female classmate?"

Lin Zihao's expression was stunned, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his handsome and white face: "No, no, it's just a good friend." ”

Dad Lin dusted off his cigarette ashes: "You're about to be eighteen years old, can you be a little bit of a gentleman?" If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it." ”

"Love ......"

"It's a pity that people don't like you. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Dad Lin said succinctly: "The meaning is very simple, stay away from this girl in the future." ”

"Why?"

"Not so many whys. ”

Lin Zihao was very twisted: "Dad, can you not speak so barbaric?"

Dad Lin suddenly stepped on the brakes, this kid was used to his mother, and if he didn't explain it clearly, he probably wouldn't listen to him: "Silly boy, even Lao Tzu dares to scold, your wings are stiff, but don't be so twisted, your father has crossed more bridges than you walk, is it possible that it will hurt you? Obviously, this girl doesn't like you at all, of course, you will definitely not be convinced when I say this, and I want to compete with your old man, let's do it, silly boy, then I will convince you." ”

Dad Lin dusted off his cigarette ashes: "Just now, the first time I saw sitting in the car, it stands to reason that a girl of this age, Dad had a car accident again, this should be when she is the most lonely and helpless and needs people's attention, in front of the people she likes closely, she will show a vulnerable side, but, did she reveal this emotion to you in the car just now? Did she say a good word to you? No, people obviously don't like you, but is it wrong for people to dislike you?" That's right, you're not RMB, so why does everyone like you? But if you keep pestering people, it's your fault. ”

Dad Lin threw away the cigarette butt, reached out and rubbed the melon seeds on Lin Zihao's hooked head: "Some of your practices are annoying, let's not mention it first, and we won't mention the money, you Lao Tzu I don't lack these three melons and two dates, but sad and hurt time! Lin Zihao, please figure it out, you have to take the college entrance examination in two months, save some snacks for your Lao Tzu, although you are so old, I don't want to object to you falling in love, but add oil in these two months, and when you enter a good university, why can't you find a good girl? That's it, stay away from this first sight in the future." ”

Lin Zihao choked.

He couldn't even utter a single word of rebuttal.

He knew that his father was reasonable, and even punished him every word, but in addition to the indescribable malaise in his heart, he also felt that something was wrong, if his father really opposed him chasing the first meeting because he was about to take the college entrance examination, then why was he so enthusiastic about sending the first meeting home when he was at school?
