Gu Fangyan looked out the window in a daze.

The rain was pouring down, and the inseparable wall of water was constantly washing the window, and the window was already white.

I don't know if it's because the college entrance examination is approaching, everything has become very sensitive recently, the weather is changing, noon is still cloudless and clear, but as the evening approaches, the lead-gray clouds are mighty from the distant sky, the original blue sky is dimmed in an instant, followed by thousands of tons of rain, pouring down, menacing.

The students had largely left, and he was the only one left in the empty classroom. The sky and the earth were filled with endless sound of rain, and it seemed that they could only wait for the rain to become lighter before leaving.

Parents were worried that their children would be sick at the most critical moment, and they stuck their arms out of the car windows to wave and shout their children's names, and the shrill horns came and went. The students in the rain could not find their cars, and headless flies generally spun around in the sea of cars.

He could hear the hustle and bustle at the school gate from afar, Gu Fangyan shrunk his shoulders and found an empty seat and sat down, he was suddenly a little glad that he could stay here, and he didn't have to rush into the crowd and wait for his parents to pick him up. Anyway, there will be a few people left at the school gate in a while, and it is estimated that the rain will become lighter at that time, so he only needs to leave silently alone.

He sighed softly.

A flash of lightning swept through the sky, thunder rolled, and the school square was empty, and the dark green school flag hung high in the air, squirming in the storm.

…………

Half an hour later, everyone was picked up, and the disturbing whistle could no longer be heard, and there was no one under the huge school gate, as if everyone was about to disperse at the end of the song.

Gu Fangyan picked up his schoolbag, but there was still a stack of books to put there, so he took off his school uniform and wrapped it on the pile of books and held it in his arms. These books were borrowed by him and some classmates, and they were very important tutorial materials, and if they were drenched, he would be dead.

He is in his third year of high school this year, and there is less than half a month before the college entrance examination.

As soon as he left the classroom and went downstairs, he pushed open the door, and a cool air immediately spread throughout his body, and the air was mixed with a rich mist and the moisture of dust and soil, Gu Fangyan couldn't help but shiver.

The rain outside had indeed become lighter, but the bean-sized raindrops still made him shiver, and he ran out of the school and towards a dense residential area, and the whole city seemed to be the only one running through the streets at the moment.

By the time you burrow into the cobweb-like alleys, the rain is noticeably lighter, and this is an old bungalow area. For a long time, I was busy improving the construction of the city every day, and many similar residential areas were demolished, but this place was fortunate to stay, probably because of the large residential area and the fact that many retired cadres lived, the local government finally gave up the demolition after careful consideration.

This is the luck of the old people, and it is also Gu Fangyan's luck, otherwise he would have to sleep on the streets.

Overhead, there are jagged water-tiled eaves, and rainwater flows down the gaps between the tiles, and countless silver-white water columns emerge from both sides of the alley, beating on the wet cement slabs. Gu Fangyan's vision gradually blurred, raindrops continued to drip along the tips of his forehead, and countless dark spots of all sizes spread out on the blue and white school uniform.

The next turn is his home, where he lives in a rare two-story house, an old building with a red brick façade and concrete balconies and green-painted wooden windows. But the first floor does not belong to him, there used to be an old man living there, just watering flowers on the balcony every day and basking in the sun, he likes the old man very much, and he runs downstairs to chat with the old man when he has nothing to do......

But one day the old man suddenly disappeared, and later he learned that it was the old man's son who bought a house in the center of the city, and he was afraid that the old man would be too lonely here alone, so he took the old man away, and the old man was reluctant to take away the flowers on the balcony, so he took them all away, whenever Gu Fangyan went home and saw the empty balcony on the first floor, he always felt a little lonely in his heart.

Since the old man left, the room had been empty, the door was not locked, and Gu Fangyan simply used it in the basement, where there were a lot of books, sundries, and other messy things that he didn't use. He would also often go to clean, and would also move a small wooden bench and sit on the balcony in a daze, as if the old man was still next to him.

Returning to reality, Gu Fangyan raised his neck, the sky was gradually darkening, but he could still clearly see the old red brick building.

The next corner was a relatively open walkway, with a high edge of stone bricks on the ground, and Gu Fangyan noticed a person standing there. His eyes widened unconsciously.

A young man stood sideways on the stone pavement, dressed in a dark gray trench coat, carrying a long dark blue club bag on his shoulder, and holding a black umbrella that was large enough to completely envelop him in a layer of shadow.

The breeze mixed with the drizzle gently ruffled his long robe, and his body stood as tall as a pitch-black spear, as if passing by the god of death on earth.

The young man seemed to notice him and glanced at him coldly.

It felt like a priest chanting a requiem and putting the lid on the coffin one last look at the deceased.

Especially the cue bag that the guy was carrying behind him, just a glance made Gu Fangyan panic, with his previous experience of watching movies, usually those guys would stuff a murder weapon such as a machete into a baseball bag, and when they walked, they were dressed in black and sassy under their feet, and there were a bunch of younger brothers behind him, and an unhappy big brother took out the guy from the long backpack and put it against someone's neck and said in a low voice,, you.

Gu Fangyan suddenly hesitated, the guy had "I'm awesome, don't mess with me" written all over his face, feeling that as long as he got a little closer to that person, he would take out his weapon from his windbreaker and shoot him a few random shots.

The young man still maintains a standing posture, like a stone statue frozen in the rain.

"Damn...... I have to go home......" Gu Fangyan took a breath and walked straight ahead slowly, his heart beating wildly when he passed by the young man.

At the moment when the two were about to pass by, Gu Fangyan seemed to hear some kind of unusually crisp sound, like taking an iron cone to lightly chisel an ice cube, and the sound flashed, like a silver light. His heart immediately hung in the air, and he was sure that the man must have heard the strange sound as well.

But fortunately, nothing happened, and the young man's eyes did not change at all, as if no one was passing by in front of him. Gu Fangyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he passed through the narrow alley in front of him, he could see his door, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Don't go over. When Gu Fangyan felt that he had finally gotten rid of the black figure, the young man suddenly said such a sentence, which shocked him to immediately stop in place and did not dare to move, and his heart began to beat "thump" again.

The man's voice was low and calm, giving the impression that he was talking to himself.

Let's just not hear it...... Gu Fangyan swallowed his saliva and continued to take a step.

"Don't go over. The unwavering sound sounded again, like the sound of Lingling coming from the frozen surface of a lake. Gu Fangyan finally couldn't help but turn around, his eyes were surprised and uncertain, "What did you say?"

The young man's eyes gradually welled up with coldness, "I told you not to go over." This time, he deliberately emphasized the word "don't", which seemed to have a warning connotation.

Gu Fangyan felt that his expression had become very stiff, he twitched the corner of his mouth, "Neurotic, you ......" and then turned around and left without looking back.

He actually wanted to say this for a long time, and when he was dressed in black, he thought he was very awesome, did he really think of himself as a big brother?

But he was still a little cowardly, and he probably only heard these words.

Uncle Security Guard...... There are bad guys, but come out and take care of it...... Cold sweat oozing from Gu Fangyan's body, mixed with the rain, shivered with cold when the wind blew. Afraid that the man would suddenly pounce on him, he walked into the alley in three steps and two steps.

Gu Fangyan didn't see the young man looking at his back, sighed lightly, and slowly closed the black umbrella in his hand.

He unfastened his club bag behind him and pulled out a bronze scabbard from it.
