---------

When he got off work in the evening, it was late at night, it was 22:01, Xu Xincheng walked out of the company gate, looked up, and saw the dark night sky, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the weather forecast APP, and said that there was a 90% chance of rain tonight.

When he went out this morning, when he looked at the weather forecast, it was cloudy and overcast, with light or moderate rain, so he brought an umbrella, which was still in his backpack.

He had a hunch that the girl would still be there tonight, so an umbrella would not be enough.

He turned and walked back to the office, back to the office, and grabbed a second umbrella from the locker. These two umbrellas are the same solid color folding umbrellas he bought last week, one is sky blue, the other is grass green, one at home and one in the office.

He came to the company lobby, came to the vending machine, scanned the code and bought a bottle of mineral water and a bottle of coffee, thought about it, and scanned the code to buy an extra bottle of coffee.

Out of the company's gate, Xu Xincheng still chose to ride a shared bicycle, but this time he did not ride the bike fast, compared with last night, his inner peace was much more relaxed.

He was not surprised when he saw her sitting upright on the stone bench from a distance, as if he knew that night would come.

However, the night that fell tonight was much darker and darker, and only the middle one of the seven street lamps was still on.

In the darkness of the night, the light of the street lamp seemed even weaker, but it still stubbornly persevered, persistently persevered, and continued to tenaciously hold open the protective net woven by its light for the girl.

Xu Xincheng still walked about 2 meters away from her and greeted her softly: "Hello!"

This greeting, the tone is calm, the voice is neither high nor low, polite and friendly, like saying hello to a friend who has known each other for many years.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, and two rays of light flashed from her big eyes, which were like two bright and shining meteors that suddenly appeared in the night sky, and the light lit up her eyes, and also lit up his world, and he saw her eyes clearly for the first time, those big eyes were so beautiful, so thorough, so bright, his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

To his surprise, she whispered, "Hello!".

Her voice is so beautiful and beautiful, like the most melodious and elegant piano sound in the world.

When Xu Xincheng realized that he had been staring into her eyes for a long time, and when he began to feel a little embarrassed, she slowly closed her eyes, the light disappeared, and the beautiful big eyes returned to a slightly closed state, and she fell into bitter thinking again, as if trying to solve a problem of the century.

She was wearing a gray long-sleeved casual tracksuit tonight, with a high upturned ponytail, and her demeanor looked much better than the night before and last night.

He quickly collected his thoughts, took out the prepared mineral water from his backpack, and said softly, "I have prepared another bottle of water for you, or put it aside." ”

He took three steps forward gently, gently put down the mineral water, and then gently took three steps back, stopped, and said softly: "I'm still going to sit over there, and if you need help, you can call me at any time." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked to the stone bench, sat down with his face facing her, took out his mobile phone, opened the APP, put on the headphones on the side, and continued to listen to the radio drama version of "The Three-Body Problem".

---------

After about half an hour, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the banyan trees around them made a rapid rustling sound, and then several gusts of wind followed, and pieces of leaves fell from the trees.

Xu Xincheng secretly screamed in his heart: "It's going to rain, what should I do?"

He quickly took off his headphones, got up quickly, walked quickly to the girl, and said in a somewhat anxious voice: "It's going to rain, you better hurry home, right?"

The girl didn't squeak, and judging by her body language, she had no intention of getting up and leaving.

At this time, he was really a little anxious, he took two small steps forward, and said, "Why don't you go back tonight and come back tomorrow night." ”

"Come back tomorrow night", when he heard the words he had just said, he felt ridiculous, and immediately scolded himself in his heart: "How could he have such a bad idea!"

At this time, he felt a few drops of something a little cold fall on his head, and immediately, he saw countless raindrops hitting the ground, and the raindrops became one small dot after another the moment they fell to the ground, and the small dots became more and more, more and more, and more and more, and soon they became one small water stain after another.

He quickly took out an umbrella from his backpack, it was the sky blue one, he opened it quickly, and took two small steps forward, in order not to offend her, he stood about 50 centimeters away from her, half-squatted down, looked at her level, and said softly: "I have two umbrellas, this umbrella is for you." ”

As he spoke, he moved the open umbrella over the girl's head.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the umbrella had moved completely to her, completely covering her, while he himself was completely exposed to the rain, which was pouring down on his head, face, and body.

The girl reached out and caught the handle of the umbrella.

He let go after making sure she had secured the umbrella.

He stood up, turned and walked back, took another umbrella from his backpack, opened it, and came to his stone bench, took a tissue from his backpack, wiped the stool that had been completely wet, and sat down in her direction.

On the side of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, under the dark night, in the drizzling rain, between two tall and dense banyan trees, in the faint light of a street lamp, on two stone benches, two people sat upright, each holding an umbrella, one sky blue, and the other grass green.

---------

The rain was light, but it kept falling, as if it didn't see the two men in the night, as if it was completely oblivious to the pitiful situation of the two of them at the moment.

At this moment, Xu Xincheng felt that his situation was a little pitiful, but he knew that he was right to do so, and he felt an inexplicable strong sense of responsibility from the bottom of his heart, which drove him to do so.

This sense of responsibility rippled in his heart, turning into a powerful sense of mission, which told him that he must persevere, and he must continue to protect until she left safely.

---------

When the time was just past twelve o'clock, a huge feeling of exhaustion hit him, and he suddenly felt tired, he had not slept much for two consecutive nights, in order not to let himself doze off, Xu Xincheng drank the two bottles of coffee he brought.

He rarely drinks coffee, it is said that for people who don't drink coffee often, the refreshing effect of coffee is very good, it seems that this statement is correct, after drinking two bottles of coffee in one go, he immediately became energetic, and he has never been sleepy, and he does not feel that time flies too slowly, because the wonderful story of "The Three-Body Problem" in the headphones has already made him enter a state of flow.

This is a state that he is very familiar with, and he often enters this state when he is focused on reading, studying, and working.

---------

When the time on the phone was displayed as 03:33, the rain suddenly became heavier, and the sound of the raindrops hitting the umbrella was no longer dripping, but ticking.

Xu Xincheng hurriedly looked at the girl, she still maintained a straight and upright sitting posture, and even the posture of holding the umbrella has always maintained the same appearance as it was at the beginning, and it has never moved, and the umbrella has always been upright.

He secretly admired in his heart, just now he only raised for about half an hour, his hands were sore, and he could only use a clever way, he leaned the umbrella rod slightly on his shoulder, the bottom of the umbrella handle stood on his thigh, and then put the backpack on his lap, against the umbrella handle, and stabilized the umbrella.

At this moment, he saw the girl's body move, she slowly stood up, and then slowly walked in his direction.

He hurriedly held the umbrella, stood up, took off the headphones, and watched her walk this way blankly, this was the first time he saw her get up, the first time he saw her move around, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, so he could only stand fixedly.

About a meter away from him, the girl stopped and whispered, "Thank you! I'm going back." ”

The umbrella blocked the light cast by the street lamp, and it was dark under the umbrella, and Xu Xincheng couldn't see her expression clearly.

He asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"It's a lot better. ”

Judging from the calm tone, she must have been much better, so he smiled very comfortingly and said, "That's good." ”

"Can you lend me this umbrella?"

"Yes, of course. He said without hesitation, but immediately changed his tune and said, "I have two, and the umbrella is for you." ”

"Do you have a business card?"

"Business card?"

"I'd like to get to know you, can I?"

He was stunned for a moment, she said "understand", not "know", but he didn't think much about it, and said, "Of course you can." Please wait. ”

As he spoke, he took out the card case from his backpack and took out a new business card that the Administration Department had just printed for him this afternoon.

"I'll call you in the morning. She said.

Xu Xincheng politely handed her the business card and said, "My name is Xu Xincheng." ”

She took the business card and said, "My name is Lucy." ”

Her voice was so beautiful and melodious, as fresh and melodious as the piano song "New Beginning".

While he was still immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano, the girl had turned and walked slowly, her back slowly disappearing into the darkness of the night woven by endless darkness and countless raindrops.
