The heavy rain hit the ground, splashing countless water, playfully playing with Du Shengzhe's trouser legs. Soon, the cuff of his pants was soaking wet and clinging to his ankle, making him very uncomfortable.

Du Shengzhe looked down at his soaked trouser legs, a little irritable, and secretly cursed that the rain was inexplicable.

He took out his mobile phone to check the weather, and just received a message from Tong Xiaoqi: "I changed to the bus this time, but after arriving at the station, because the bus stop and the subway station are not in the same place, I don't know how to get to the store......

"It's okay, if you get there, take shelter from the rain on the platform, I'll be there soon." Du Shengzhe replied.

"Thanks, sorry."

Xiaoqi turned off her phone and sighed, if she knew how to go, she really didn't want to trouble others to pick her up on such a rainy day.

Du Shengzhe knew that the distance to the destination bus station was quite close, and he was not in a hurry. Just thinking that Tong Xiaoqi was taking the bus, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he silently recited a bunch of blessings in his heart, don't let that girl go into any strange place by mistake.

After getting off the bus, Xiaoqi saw that the person had not yet come, so she sat on the seat set up at the station and waited. She looked around again, guessing which direction Du Shengzhe would come from, so that she could put her left arm with the knife wound behind her in advance so that he wouldn't find out.

Hiss, it hurts.

To tell the truth, she had just cut the skin with a knife, and because of the speed and sharpness of the knife, the peripheral nerves under the skin didn't even have time to react and communicate to the brain, so people barely felt pain at that time, and it didn't hurt much when it bleeds. It wasn't until the wound stopped bleeding and healed that the pain was really overwhelming.

Xiao Qi's face stiffened, she gritted her teeth, and she put her left arm behind her back. Turning her head, she happened to see Du Shengzhe holding a big black umbrella coming from not far away, she smiled and waved at him, and the other party responded politely.

Du Shengzhe looked at it at a glance and saw that the girl's mental state today was indeed very poor. In the past, she used to comb her low ponytail, but she didn't tie her hair today, and she wore it casually. She looked sluggish, both eyes seemed to be swollen, and her nose was a little red, as if she had been crying a long time ago. The floral dress was dyed red, like blood.

"I'm really bothering you..."Xiao Qi walked up to him, looked up at the umbrella, wow, it's big.

"Minor problem." He said, "It's raining so hard all of a sudden, I'm afraid you didn't bring an umbrella, so I came out to pick you up." ”

"If this rain continues, won't there be no need to hand out flyers today? Hey. ”

"I think so." Du Shengzhe smiled helplessly, "Anyway, let's go back to the store first and let Brother Zhang finish the meeting." ”

Tong Xiaoqi's heart was not calm, her last job, the store manager asked the employees to line up in a square formation and maintain the standard standing posture of the waiter. Presumably, the requirements of the cafeteria are not much different from that, so that she can't hide her "disgraceful" left arm, won't she be able to let others see her bloody knife wounds?

She only hoped that Brother Zhang would be more relaxed about the meeting, or that she really had no choice, so she would simply stand at the end.

Before going to the store for a meeting, as Xiaoqi expected, Brother Zhang stood in front, holding a booklet, and the employees below stood in a phalanx at will, facing the store manager, maintaining the posture of a waiter.

She sneaked to the end and stood alone, her left arm behind her back "violated", hoping that she would become a "fish that slipped through the net".

What puzzled Xiaoqi was that Du Shengzhe, who was originally standing well in the first row, turned around and walked to the last row and stood next to her. He looked at her and asked, "Why are you standing at the back of your run?" ”

“…… I want to ask you that, too. ”

"Because I'm tall, I'm afraid of getting in the way of others."

"I ...... I like to stand at the back, hehe. She looked at the first row, and someone had already filled the vacant position, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meeting, Xiao Zhang joked that Tong Xiaoqi's hairstyle today was like a chicken nest, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Qi's chicken nest head when he was speaking at the meeting, and almost laughed, and said that there were no combs and rubber bands and other supplies in the store. The girl smiled ashamedly and secretly cast her gaze on Du Shengzhe's face.

"Brother Zhang, it's raining so hard today, I guess I won't be able to distribute leaflets." Du Shengzhe smiled evilly and put a stack of flyers back to the front desk, "What do you say next?" ”

Xiao Zhang made a "expell" gesture: "Go, go, go, let you two go." ”

He and she looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll go to the small supermarket next door to buy you rubber bands and combs, and tie your hair up."

The girl touched her hair, a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse. After Du Shengzhe went out, she thought about it and followed in the rain.

After a while, Du Shengzhe came out of the supermarket and saw Xiaoqi standing at the door of the supermarket waiting, he stuffed his mobile phone into his trouser pocket with one hand, and handed the comb and a small box of simple and cute rubber bands to the girl with the other.

Xiao Qi instinctively stretched out her hands to pick up something: "Wow...!" It's so cute, thank you so much! ”

At this time, the sharp-eyed Du Shengzhe immediately caught the strangeness on the other party's arm, and several deep and shallow knife wounds startled him. He quickly pretended to be calm and chuckled: "It's good if you like it, this is the first time I've bought something for a girl, I'm a little nervous, and I'm afraid that I won't be satisfied with the purchase." ”

"No, no, I really like it...!" Xiao Qi smiled gratefully at him, holding the item in one hand and carrying his left arm behind his back.

＊

In the bathroom, Xiaoqi combed her hair well, looked left and right in the mirror, well, her eyes are quite bright, if only this big round face could become a "small V face".

Du Shengzhe and Xiao Zhang saw the girl come out, and praised her as a "beauty", "It's much more beautiful to tie your hair up!" Xiaoqi was red-faced.

"Xiaoqi." Du Shengzhe called out to her, "I'll take you upstairs for a visit." ”

"Visiting? What's upstairs? ”

"Come with me and you'll know." He turned his head to look at her, and his expression flashed with a hint of imperceptible distress, "Come on." ”

The girl followed him upstairs. Even if she wasn't for the sake of satisfying her curiosity, she would follow this boy somewhere, and Tong Xiaoqi likes to follow this person.

When he reached the second floor, Du Shengzhe, who was walking in front, stopped, his back to Xiaoqi. All she saw here were ordinary residents, nothing unusual, things that could be visited, and the place where the two of them stayed was a quiet corridor.

"What are we visiting?"

A simple question from the girl.

Du Shengzhe sighed and turned to look at Tong Xiaoqi: "Don't you feel pain?" ”

She was speechless for a moment. There was silence for a while, and the other party asked again, "Does it hurt?" ”

This time Xiaoqi opened her mouth to answer, and her voice was very small: "What do you mean......"

He took a step closer: "From the time I saw you today, I found that you always like to put your left arm behind your back, at first I didn't think you were just boring to play, until later I finally learned why you did it. ”

"How do you know?" Xiao Qi took a step back in fear.

Du Shengzhe took another step closer: "It's not important. "Xiaoqi, can you tell me the cause of the wound?"

The girl bit her lower lip and shook her head.

"Can you show me that arm of yours?"

She still shook her head.
