Cheng Qing's route out of the school was through the south gate.

According to Cheng Qing's prior thinking, the South Gate should be the best place to distribute leaflets. Near the south gate of the school, there is a bicycle parking area, and there is a bus stop and subway station not far away. Generally, more students leave and prefer to leave from the south gate, and Cheng Qing is no exception.

"I remember that it was Lin Xinlu who didn't come back who handed out brochures at the south gate, even if she delayed the time by leaving with them, it wouldn't be so late."

Cheng Qing whispered to himself, but he didn't want to think about it so much anymore. He had already delayed the distribution of pamphlets, so he should have gone home earlier.

While walking, Cheng Qing looked up at the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans slanted down, falling on the ground and splashing crystal water. Even though Cheng Qing was protected by an umbrella, there were still water stains on her shoes and pants.

The sky was full of dark clouds, contrary to the calm weather of the previous part of today, and it was extremely gloomy, giving people an inexplicable pressure.

It is said that people's mood changes with the change of weather, and now it sounds really a little bit of truth. To tell the truth, how can there be a sunset in a dark cloudy scene, and the glow is beautiful.

However, it is also rare, and it has rarely rained since the beginning of autumn. Even if it rains, it is a light rain.

Today's heavy rain is like a person's long-pent-up emotions all exploding in an instant. It's hard for Cheng Qing to imagine an emotional outburst, because he himself lacks that enthusiasm for life, and he won't overturn his emotions because of something, let alone explode.

Cheng Qing thought so, looked at the road ahead, and the outline of the south gate of the school had already appeared in the field of vision.

He paid a little attention to the street lights on both sides of the road, and couldn't help but express his appreciation in his heart, because it was raining and dark clouds, and the street lights were turned on in advance, and the school was really careful in this regard.

Cheng Qing quickened her pace, and the guidance in her heart was that if she walked out of the school gate quickly, she would be able to take the subway home, and she would be able to relax at home a little.

Cheng Qing usually rides a bicycle to school, and bicycles are usually parked in bicycle parking lots. The bicycle parking area was built at the school's own expense, which can be said to be a large bicycle shed. We take care of students who come to school by bicycle to prevent damage to their bicycles due to rain and other reasons.

According to Cheng Qing's evaluation, this is another humanized construction of the school's conscience.

However, today, because of the heavy rain, Cheng Qing had no choice but to give up the originally comfortable and leisurely plan of cycling. Instead, choose to take the subway home.

Due to the rain curtain, Cheng Qing still couldn't see the scene ahead a little clearly, and the south gate just now was just a vague outline. Even with the help of street lights on both sides of the road.

And as he got closer, his vision gradually became clearer. And the scene that made him a little surprised unfolded before his eyes.

A girl stood alone in the rain without an umbrella, standing next to a street lamp just a little distance from the south gate. He also holds a lot of pamphlets in his hands, and bends slightly to protect them from rain with his body.

She should be Lin Xinlu, but she hasn't finished distributing brochures yet, and it is estimated that because she is not good at publicity, others are not interested in brochures, resulting in a backlog of brochures, even at the south gate of the school with a large flow of people.

At this point, the first group of people who held club activities should have already begun to leave. I just had to hide my figure under an umbrella and cover my face to pretend to be a normal school leaver.

As for Lin Xinlu, she and I don't know each other very well, and I don't want to waste my time helping others by reaching out on such a rainy day. Even if she stood alone in the heavy rain, alone.

This is the idea in Cheng Qing's mind.

Tilting the umbrella slightly downward, Cheng Qing's face was covered by the umbrella and the rain curtain.

I'm about to walk over.

Cheng Qing was unmoved, ready to pass by as an ordinary bystander.

"Please...... Excuse me...... You need to...... One ...... A cultural festival ...... Target...... Introduction? ”

A trembling voice came into Cheng Qing's ears.

If you don't answer, just skip it, and she shouldn't catch up with me to take the brochure. That's right, it's the most correct behavior.

Cheng Qing's thoughts flew in his mind and he came to the above conclusion.

"Yes."

Contrary to the thoughts in her mind, Cheng Qing's heart was still a little unbearable after all, and she simply said two words.

The sound was obvious, shivering from the heavy rain that soaked his clothes and the cold wind blew.

Cheng Qing continued to draw conclusions in her mind.

Maybe this short word "need" is exactly what Lin Xinlu, who is standing in the heavy rain, needs, the so-called spiritual support and the like.

"Really...... Are you sure? ”

The girl's voice was tinged with surprise.

In fact, when he paused to answer that question, Cheng Qing deliberately tilted the angle of the umbrella back to its original normal appearance, revealing his face.

"Are you...... Cheng Qing? ”

The girl looked up and asked suspiciously.

I didn't expect to remember my name.

Cheng Qing thought so, but still nodded and said, "You are in charge of the leaflet distribution task at the south gate, Lin Xinlu." ”

When the girl raised her head, Cheng Qing had basically determined her identity. A lovely face came into view, and her hair was a little messy because of the rain, and it was scattered behind her head.

"Yes, but sorry, I didn't complete the task, probably ...... I wasn't trying hard enough. Lin Xinlu nodded.

"Am I useless...... If you don't finish these pamphlets, it will cause a ...... to the image of the class."

Lin Xinlu lowered her head and said.

"You've worked hard, and you can see from the way you protect these pamphlets."

Cheng Qing also noticed Lin Xinlu's careful actions, even if it was pouring rain, she let the rain pour on her, and she tightly protected the pile of brochures.

And she picked up all the brochures and stood in the rain, presumably with the strength of a girl, it must be very tiring to do this.

It is estimated that she does not want to give up the opportunity, and wants to continue to take advantage of the crowd after school after the club activities to distribute the brochures. But if she goes to take shelter from the rain, she will miss out on the students who leave the school at different end times of club activities, so she can only wait in the heavy rain.

Cheng Qing put her schoolbag on the ground, even if it was raining heavily, the ground was full of rain. He changed out of his coat, gave the umbrella to Lin Xinlu, and then put the coat on Lin Xinlu's body, and said: "In short, these brochures can also be distributed when the students come home from school after club activities. ”

Lin Xinlu's body trembled obviously the moment it touched Cheng Qing's coat, probably because the temperature on her clothes gave her a hint of warmth.

"Hmm...... Okay, thanks...... Now, Cheng Qing...... Really...... Good guys. ”

Lin Xinlu was a little overwhelmed and replied.

Cheng Qing picked up the schoolbag and began to take Lin Xinlu to walk back in the direction of the teaching building.

When the two walked together, it was not so much that Cheng Qing and Lin Xinlu were playing umbrellas together, but that the left half of Cheng Qing's body was completely washed under the heavy rain, and most of the umbrellas were evenly given to Lin Xinlu.

If the umbrella is handed over to her directly, it is estimated that she will not agree, and this is the only way.

Cheng Qing didn't care about the heavy rain, because he had a change of clothes in his bag, as long as he sent Lin Xinlu to the teaching building at that time, let her deal with it and then let her take her umbrella, Cheng Qing could leave first and go to the public toilet in the subway station to change out of wet clothes.

Cheng Qing's family is currently only living with him and his sister. His sister's food, clothing and daily life are all taken care of by Cheng Qing. However, sometimes she is too busy, so Cheng Qing will tidy up the clothes she changed that day and send them to the dry cleaner, and then ride her bicycle to the dry cleaner to pick up the clothes at noon the next day.

And today happens to be the day he gets his clothes.

The two gradually walked to the bottom of the teaching building, and Cheng Qing's left half of her clothes and pants were already soaked.

There was no rain curtain under the teaching building, the lights in the corridor were clearer, and Cheng Qing also saw the whole picture of Lin Xinlu.

Lin Xinlu's clothing is also the same as Cheng Qing's, which is a class uniform customized by the school. The men's type is the same as what Cheng Qing wears, with white short sleeves and black trousers, while the women's type is the same as what Lin Xinlu wears, with a white shirt and a short pleated skirt.

At this time, Lin Xinlu put down the brochure in her hand and stood next to Cheng Qing. Cheng Qing's eyes became slightly unnatural.

Although Cheng Qing is in a state of calm about everything in life, there are slight waves in his heart at this time.

Because of the heavy rain, Lin Xinlu's clothes have become soaked, and the white shirt that was originally soaked in the rain presents a different scenery in front of Cheng Qing's eyes.

"Here you go, here's a napkin, hurry up and go to the bathroom to wipe the rain and tidy up your ...... Clothing. Cheng Qing handed the napkin to Lin Xinlu, and at this time, even if she repeatedly emphasized in her heart that she had to be calm, she couldn't suppress the tremor of her voice, and she broke off a sound.

"Thank you." Lin Xin said with a smile and took the pack of paper in Cheng Qing's hand. However, she was very puzzled by Cheng Qing's voice disconnection, combined with Cheng Qing's gaze, she looked at herself, and then her face turned red instantly, and she screamed.

"I'm sorry, but there's a set of my sister's clothes, you can go and change into them later." Cheng Qing also understood what Lin Xinlu understood, he immediately apologized, and found his sister's dry cleaned clothes from his bag, the clothes were neatly packaged, and after Lin Xinlu took it, he looked at Cheng Qing and turned around, and the rosy on his face faded a little.

"Then I'll sort it out first." Lin Xinlu said to Cheng Qing, and then walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, with his inner thoughts, he would never do such a troublesome thing in normal times.

Why exactly?

Cheng Qing didn't think of the answer, and in the process of his thinking, the pile of brochures left on the ground caught his attention.

By the way, these brochures, for now, can only be solved by me.

Cheng Qing looked at her watch to confirm the time, and whispered to herself: "Combined with the time spent just now, it is almost time for those club activities to end." ”

He picked up the brochure with one hand, even if he didn't distribute it all, some of it might have been taken away by curious people when Lin Xinlu distributed it just after school. So the current weight, Cheng Qing can handle it with one hand.

Because the other hand must hold an umbrella to resist the heavy rain. Cheng Qing didn't forget to pay attention to the publicity, the appearance of the brochure itself is composed of waterproof materials, coupled with Lin Xinlu's protection, it seems that the brochure is not seriously damaged.

What a more responsible person.

Cheng Qing walked towards the school gate, commenting in her heart. In other words, he would never be drenched in this heavy rain, and he could use the heavy rain as an excuse to report to the teacher that he could not carry out the task of distributing pamphlets, so that he could solve the current problem and go home to think about countermeasures.

This is the scene of lazy people looking for a way, and serious people looking for a way, which is quite appropriate.

Cheng Qing laughed at herself in her heart, and then came to the south gate of the school.

It is definitely impossible to use the propaganda method just now, because there is rain underground, Cheng Qing can't spread out these brochures, he can only hold up the brochures with one arm, and put the students who are passing by, plus the same shouting as just now, so as to attract their attention.

However, even if this method is not as efficient as the method just now, it quickly attracted the attention of others, but it didn't take long for Cheng Qing to have only a brochure left in his hand.

This one was just said and sent to me.

Cheng Qing thought so, so she prepared to put this brochure into her schoolbag.

"If you don't mind, can you give me this brochure?" A familiar female voice came.

Cheng Qing raised his head, Lin Xinlu stood in front of him with an umbrella, tilted his head slightly to the left, and asked.

Oh? The so-called head tilted to the left octave, is the cutest pose?

Cheng Qing glanced at Lin Xinlu, and after tidying up at this time, Lin Xinlu put on his sister's clothes, and her hair was neatly draped behind her head, making her even more delicate. I have to say that this girl is very beautiful and cute.

Cheng Qing handed the brochure he was going to put away to Lin Xinlu and said, "Thank you for your support of the school's cultural festival activities. ”

"It's me who should say thank you." Lin Xinlu bowed and bowed solemnly. Cheng Qing looked at such a serious etiquette, shook his head and said, "It's okay. ”

"Sorry, but the left half of your clothes got wet in the rain." Lin Xinlu apologized.

"It's okay, I have a set of clothes in my bag, I'll just go to the subway station and change it later."

Cheng Qing packed her schoolbag and prepared to leave.

"Did you leave by subway too? Well, let's go together. Lin Xinlu heard what Cheng Qing said and made an invitation.

Refuse.

This was the first reaction in Cheng Qing's mind.

First, this girl will definitely slow down his progress home, and it will be a lot of brainpower if he needs to find something to talk about on the way. Second, you have to change your own clothes, which will also drag down other people's time.

"I need to change my clothes when I get to the subway station, which may delay your time, and now it's a bit too far away from the normal school day." Cheng Qing said.

After all, it was someone else who took the initiative to invite and refused straightforwardly, but he was rude.

"I'll wait for you, I don't know what to thank you anymore." Lin Xinlu said at a loss.

"So...... So let's go together, okay? ”

Lin Xinlu's voice was slightly nervous.

"Then ...... Let's go together, but thanksgiving doesn't have to be. Cheng Qing could only accept the invitation.

"Hmm."

Cheng Qing's expression changed to his usual calm appearance again, but what he didn't notice was that after Lin Xinlu expressed his agreement, a flush appeared on his face.

"By the way, Cheng Qing, have you seen Chen and Xiao?"

While walking on the road, Lin Xinlu looked at Cheng Qing and asked.

"Oh."

Cheng Qing's words paused for a moment, he was thinking about whether he should say that he saw those two people.

Obviously, if he said that he saw them, and also asked them if they were going to wait for her and got a negative answer, Lin Xinlu's relationship might change.

If he didn't say that this thing had happened, then he wouldn't have anything to lose, but he didn't care a little in his heart.

"See."

Cheng Qing paused, but still told the truth.

"I'm worried that they might be waiting for me in the classroom, because it took so much time to figure it out."

Lin Xinlu's tone was a little heavy, but she was immediately relieved, and said with a smile: "But what I was worried about doesn't seem to have happened." ”

In her heart, she probably still wanted to see them waiting in the classroom.

Cheng Qing didn't continue to speak, looking at Lin Xinlu's barely squeezed smile, her heart was a little depressed.

That's probably why I don't want to make friends, because sometimes I get hurt.

Cheng Qing thought alone in her heart.

Yu Xin couldn't bear it, Cheng Qing still opened her mouth and added something about what Chen Jiayan said before: "Hearing what Chen Jiayan said to me, it was because Xiao Zhixin had something, so they needed to leave first, maybe they were forced to do so, otherwise they wouldn't have left before you in this weather." ”

"That'...... That's good. ”

The atmosphere seemed to freeze because of the end of this topic.

"The rain has stopped."

When he was walking slowly, Lin Xinlu's voice came, Cheng Qing looked up at the sky, and the downpour just now was gone.

"Yes." Cheng Qing didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic, he didn't want to come up with an answer that needed to be followed one by one, so he simply echoed it.

"Doesn't it matter what you wear?"

Lin Xinlu's pace stopped, looked at Cheng Qing worriedly, and asked suspiciously.

Are you worried about me?

This idea came to Cheng Qing's mind, and immediately erased it.

Probably just a polite inquiry, since I helped her with the task.

Cheng Qing is not good at treating the enthusiasm of others in life, because his attitude towards life is relatively cold, and he will not take the initiative to accept this enthusiasm.

Yes, if you misunderstand, it doesn't seem like you're thinking a lot.

This is a true portrayal of Cheng Qing's heart.

"It doesn't matter, there's a subway station in front of you." Cheng Qing looked up, and the lights of the subway station in the distance could already be clearly seen.

"You go quickly, I'll meet you in the subway station later, if the clothes are dry, I'll catch a cold." Lin Xinlu said softly.

"Oh...... Good. ”

After Cheng Qing finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xinlu and couldn't help but be a little shaken.

On their way from the school to the subway station, they will pass by a square, and they can get to the subway station faster by walking from the path of the square.

The overall construction of the square is beautiful, probably because there is a park next to it. The path of the square is also covered with lawns all around, which looks particularly fresh.

On the path, the soft light of the street lamp shone on her, and Lin Xinlu stood quietly with her bag on her face, with a slight smile on her face, which added a cuteness to her already delicate face.

The breeze was light, and Lin Xinlu's hair blew slightly, which made Cheng Qing feel in a trance.

Cheng Qing obviously couldn't deal with Lin Xinlu, and ran to the subway station a little embarrassed.

Lin Xinlu looked at Cheng Qing's figure in a hurry, and slowly walked towards the subway station, as if she was thinking about something.

She usually feels that she is always the one who can't fit in with her friends, and she can only try her best to adapt to other people's topics, hobbies, etc. in her friend relationship.

Gradually, Lin Xinlu also got used to the problems that will inevitably arise in this kind of interpersonal communication. But she can only use a smile to hide the loss in her heart.

Cheng Qing's actions today helped her when she was most lonely and helpless.

"Usually, really, I can't see through a person."

Not long after, Lin Xinlu came to the subway station, Cheng Qing had already changed her clothes, and was waiting for Lin Xinlu at the security checkpoint at the entrance to the station.

"The subway is still three minutes away, so let's go faster." Cheng Qing looked at the subway arrival time reminder sign in the station, put the bag into the security machine, and said.

"Okay."

Lin Xinlu also put the bag into the security machine, and then followed Cheng Qing.

When they reached the escalator, the two walked up to the elevator side by side. Cheng Qing glanced at the distance between the two, and involuntarily walked down a square.

The atmosphere froze a little again, and soon reached the underground subway platform level.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to be safe when getting on and off the train, please be sure to ...... safety when getting on and off the train."

Cheng Qing and Lin Xinlu stood side by side in front of the glass door of the subway waiting platform. It seems that the rush hour after work and school has been missed, there are not many people in the subway station, and there is a doorway that is still empty.

Cheng Qing looked into the distance, and the lights of the train shone from afar. Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, a busy day was finally coming to an end.

When the train arrived at the station, more passengers poured down, and the voice of volunteers in the station kept coming: "Don't be crowded, don't crowd, get off first and then get on ......"

After the crowd of people getting off the train gradually dissipated, the two stepped onto the subway.

"Sit down."

After getting on the train, Cheng Qing first held the handrail, pointed to an empty seat near the train door because many people got off at the station, and said to Lin Xinlu.

"No, you don't."

Lin Xinlu got on the train after comparison, she stood next to Cheng Qing, although there was no one in the station, but there were still more people in the train, she could only stand a little against Cheng Qing.

The seats were quickly taken by others in the crowded car.

However, it seems that because she was in too much hurry to get on the train, Lin Xinlu did not hold the handrail, but the train started at this time. She lost her balance and fell to Cheng Qing in an instant.

Cheng Qing felt a sudden increase in the weight on his body, but he had to do his best to keep his body balanced so that he wouldn't fall down as well.

When Cheng Qing was a little tired, he looked down at Lin Xinlu, who was leaning on him.

"That...... Can you get up? ”

Cheng Qing looked around again, and the people around him didn't seem to cast strange glances because they noticed the scene at this moment. He had to get the scene under control in time.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't held it up yet...... I'm sorry......" Lin Xinlu's face suddenly turned bright red, and then immediately got up from Cheng Qing and grabbed the handrail.

The train continued slowly, and when the people on the train arrived at the station again, they slowly went down a lot, and there were already a lot of empty seats. However, the two of them seemed to have a clear mind, and they just stood quietly.

"At the next stop, I'm going to get off the train, what about Cheng Qing?" Lin Xinlu asked.

"I might get off the train a stop later than you."

Cheng Qing looked up at the electronic station sign in the station, determined the location where he got off the train, and replied.

"Oh."

Lin Xinlu replied.

"Ding-dong."

Lin Xinlu's phone rang, because she had just turned it on, so there were a lot of messages listed on the message bar. The message appears to have come from the class chat group of your class.

"The weather has changed rapidly recently, students must first focus on health, class uniforms are not required, and you can come to school with the clothes you usually wear at home."

The sender's name is Xu Yizhen, who is also the homeroom teacher of Cheng Qing's class, who is approachable, good at enlightening students, and has a relationship with many students who are also teachers and friends.

After Lin Xinlu read this message to Cheng Qing, she put her mobile phone in her schoolbag.

"Now, may I ask, can Cheng Qing tell me your phone number? There are also accounts for social media...... I don't seem to have your ...... yet Maybe it will be useful in the future. ”

After being silent for a while, as if she had made a lot of determination, Lin Xinlu turned her head to look at Cheng Qing and asked.

Well?

Cheng Qing didn't react, few others took the initiative to ask him to leave his contact information and social software account, and he was not very interested in this kind of thing.

"Isn't it possible?"

Lin Xinlu looked at Cheng Qing, her expression slightly revealing a little apprehension and disappointment.

"Oh, yes, sorry, I was distracted just now." Cheng Qing nodded, and then told Lin Xinlu all her mobile phone number and social software account.

Lin Xinlu took out her mobile phone again, and this time, Cheng Qing inadvertently saw the wallpaper, the wallpaper was a pale pink background and a cherry blossom tree, and the cherry blossoms fell in the wind, revealing the girl's girlish heart.

"That's fine, then I'll get out of the car, Cheng Qing, see you tomorrow."

After saving Cheng Qing's number, the arrival bell rang immediately after that. Lin Xinlu looked at Cheng Qing, waved her hand lightly, and said.

"Oh...... See you tomorrow. ”

Cheng Qing also looked at Lin Xinlu and said.

After the train door opened, a large number of people poured out of the car, Cheng Qing watched Lin Xinlu's back stop at the door, and then bowed to him quietly.

She then waved her hand goodbye. As the train started, Lin Xinlu disappeared from Cheng Qing's field of vision.

Okay, now we have to think about that question.

Why would I do such a troublesome thing?

The train was moving slowly, Cheng Qing looked up at the lights in the train, and lowered her head to think.

This time, maybe it's because of my compassion.

It didn't take long for the train to stop at the station.

And he seems to have gotten the answer from his heart.
