Chapter 103: In the Rain
"With this, you won't be so bitter after drinking Chinese medicine."
Although I haven't bought it a few times, this ginger candy is also Chen Xiaodi's favorite thing to eat, this sugar is crispy and sweet, sweet and a little spicy, not only is it not greasy, but it is very refreshing, at present, she only knows that it is sold here, and she can eat it for a long time if she buys two big bags.
If you think about it, it's been more than two years since she last bought it, and she hasn't been here for so long since then. Chen Xiaodi looked at the two big bags of ginger candy in Bai Ye's hand and finally laughed.
"Shiraba, thank you."
"Don't thank me, I'm relieved to see you smile."
The two children walked side by side towards the gate of the ancient town, many of them returning with full loads, and many of them coming empty-handed, and when they finally walked through the crowd and out of the gate, several buses stopped by the platform, bringing a new batch of tourists.
There are already long queues across the wide street, and every year there is a temporary bus stop outside the fair during the bonfire festival, and the buses of each line are lined up, and the passengers are lined up to get on the bus in turn under the guidance of traffic volunteers, so it is the most crowded but also the most orderly.
"I want to walk home."
Chen Xiaodi looked across the street, and then turned his head to look at Bai Ye, the team on the other side of the road couldn't see the end at all, although the bus came quickly, but it would take a long time to see it. Besides, Chen Xiaodi was originally thinking about going home slowly, she really didn't want to go back so early.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
It is a long walk home from the ancient town, it takes nearly two hours to walk faster, Chen Xiaodi still remembers the bonfire festival of a certain year, she and her mother bought some potato chips and green beans at the fair, and when they came home from stop and go, it had been almost three hours, and most of the things that were originally intended to be bought back to eat were also eaten.
The rain kept falling, the two of them had just walked for a while, and the rain was heavy again, and the umbrella in Chen Xiaodi's hand was already a little unable to cover the wind and rain, but she was still stubbornly unwilling to take the bus, and she didn't care about the rain falling on her shoulders, Bai Ye even felt that she would throw down the umbrella in the next second and walk into Yuzheng
At this time, the two happened to pass by a bus stop with a canopy, and Bai Ye called Chen Xiaodi, who was going to continue walking, to take shelter from the rain before leaving.
"You can go back by car first, and I'll walk back by myself."
Chen Xiaodi turned around and was about to leave, but Bai Ye hurriedly grabbed her, the coat draped over her shoulders fell off, and the corners of her clothes could already be wrung out of water.
"I promised to go with you, and I will accompany you, but now that the rain is too heavy, let's wait here for a while before leaving."
Without waiting for Chen Xiaodi to refute, Bai Ye had already pulled her to sit in the middle of the bench where it was not stained with rain, he took the coat in Chen Xiaodi's hand, handed her the coat on his body and asked her to put it on, and he wrung the water on the other coat and put it back on.
"You're going to get sick!"
"It's okay, the important thing is that you don't get sick."
Bai Ye took out a tissue and continued to wipe the water on his clothes, Chen Xiaodi looked at him, feeling a little unhappy. Every time she was in a bad mood, Bai Ye would be by her side, even if she was a little unreasonable because of this, he didn't care, he still patiently guarded her and accompanied her to wherever she wanted to go.
Bai Ye has worried a lot about her for so many years, and he never can't eat enough when he accompanies her to eat her favorite food, but he just cooks some noodles to eat by himself when he goes home, and several times he does other things all night because of accompanying her, and even gets sick because of this.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaodi suddenly felt that he was a little too willful.
"Or ...... Let's take the bus, shall we? ”
"Since you want to go, let's go, as long as you can vent all those unhappiness, go to school"
Just then, Bai Ye received a call from Bai's mother, the food had already been served, and asked where they were and why they hadn't arrived home yet.
"We are in the ancient town, just walked out a little, you don't have to wait for us to eat, we have already eaten, walk back slowly."
"It's raining so hard, let's take the bus back."
"Forget it, there are too many people in line, and by the time we get in the car, I'm afraid we'll already be halfway through our walk."
"Okay, do you have a coat?"
"Brought it."
"Okay, then you pay attention to safety, there are many rainy cars, don't be too anxious, find a place to avoid when the rain is too heavy, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask your dad to drive to pick you up."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Bai Ye looked up and looked into the sky, the rain seemed to be a little more than just now, and he could continue to set off after a while.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you, I shouldn't have been so willful."
"It's okay, it's rare for you to be willful anyway, are you in a better mood now?"
"Hmm."
"That's good."
Bai Ye stood up with a smile, opened his big umbrella, gently hugged Chen Xiaodi's shoulder, and the two walked into the rain together.
The cars on the street come and go endlessly, the color gradually darkens, the street lights are also on, and the rain is still raining tirelessly, but there are already a lot, and it rains every year during the bonfire festival, sometimes for half a month.
"Then it's my birthday, and in the blink of an eye, I'm a year older."
Chen Xiaodi sighed faintly, knowing that time would not turn back, but she still wanted to go back to the time, and wanted to be a child who would not grow up, and she would always be carefree.
"yes, it's one step closer to our future."
Bai Ye looked at Chen Xiaodi gently, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.
Chen Xiaodi raised his head, and the halo of the street lamp shone the appearance of rain, falling to the ground little by little, converging into a thin and cheerful stream of water flowing quickly along the street, running into the distance.
"Shall we go sing then?"
"Your birthday, your way."
Chen Xiaodi nodded, gave Bai Ye a bright smile, and his eyes also returned to their former brilliance, empty and smart.
"And what do you want to hear?"
"I listen to whatever you sing, and I like to listen to what you sing anyway."
"Okay."
Halfway through the long journey, they were almost to their junior high school school after crossing the bridge in front of the swimming pool, and from there they were frequented by parks and eating streets, and then to the artificial lake in the city, not far from home.
"It's been a long time since I've walked this far in the rain."
"The last time we went to the overpass to eat fish, right?"
"Like, but it didn't rain that much."
"Come to think of it, you're really the only one I know, the heavier the rain, the more people like to go out."
Bai Ye smiled softly and looked at Chen Xiaodi on the side, only to see her reaching out to catch some rain, smiling sweetly.
"Because I love the rain and I love the feeling of walking in the rain."
At this time, Bai Ye's mobile phone received a message that said, "I am free during the bonfire festival, and I will go to school before I come"
