Chapter001 Heavy rains in early summer
Asatsu City.
The afternoon sun gradually faded from the sky, and the hot summer seemed to finally look forward to the first rain of summer. A light rain began to fall under the gloomy sky, pedestrians on the streets more or less held up umbrellas, and the traffic of vehicles became more frequent.
Xu Zhengchen naturally didn't care too much about these, and at the moment, he was only responsible for delivering takeaway to customers. To this end, he also specially rode on a small battery dedicated to delivery, and drove forward desperately with time.
A few days ago, the orders in the store were all messed up by him, and this time he won't do it again, and he specially promised the store manager again and again before leaving.
The road is getting muddy, and the potholes are scattered all over the city, especially when the car passes over the potholes, the water splashes everywhere, and the dirty ground is disgusting.
"Tsk." Xu Zhengchen was a little impatient, and he endured the rain in the last second, and in a blink of an eye, he encountered a red light at the intersection.
He looked at the silver-white watch he was wearing on his left hand, it was exactly four o'clock, and it was less than twenty minutes before the deadline for this takeaway.
"Trouble ......"
Something seemed to tug at his nerves in his head, and he remembered that the Meteorological Observatory had reported that there would be a big typhoon in the next few days, and it seemed that it would bring heavy rainfall. If you delay for another minute or two, you may have to change the sky.
Beep! Beep!
He honked the horn of the car in disgust, but no matter what he did, the cars in front of him just kept piling up.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing up there?" Xu Zhengchen moved his head to the side.
"There was a car accident ahead, and a bus overturned in the middle of the road, so it may take a while to toss and turn in this situation." The woman sat on a battery car beside her and spoke to him in a rich native dialect.
Xu Zhengchen naturally couldn't wait, although no one wanted to have a car accident, but now he has something important to do, in case he messes up again, the business in the store will only worsen.
Detouring from the park near the intersection, such an idea came to his head.
Anyway, there were so many passers-by in front of him, so he didn't have to worry about calling the police, so he rode towards the road in the park.
Asa Natsu Park, on the shore of the lake.
"It's too late, it's still too late." Xu Zhengchen secretly admired his approach, he didn't come here less on weekdays, and the route was of course clear.
What's more, the flow of people in the shallow summer park at this time is not much, and there are almost no potholes, so taking this road is indeed a shortcut.
Just as Xu Zhengchen was secretly rejoicing, a battery car rushed straight out from behind him and crashed into the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Under the gray filter of the rainy day, the light in the surrounding environment of the park appeared to be seriously insufficient, but fortunately, Xu Zhengchen braked the car in time to avoid the collision of the two cars.
"Ahhh......h Be...... This guy bumped into it out of the blue, no, it's none of my business! The man who caused the accident shirked his responsibility in a panic and immediately drove away from view.
"I actually ran away......
Xu Zhengchen looked at the peeling and bleeding wounds on his arms, most of which were bruised when the car passed by him just now.
On the other side, the person who was hit by the car and fell to the ground did not move at all.
He began to panic.
If the person was really hit by a car and died, let's not talk about the owner of the car who escaped on the spot, simply because he couldn't explain this, the suspicion was already too big.
Think of a way.
Think about what you can do.
Xu Zhengchen parked the battery car on the side of the road, then got up quickly, walked to the man's side, and began to look up and down.
It's a girl, and she has a few abrasions on her body, and she seems to be quite beautiful.
As soon as Xu Zhengchen thought of this, he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get those improper thoughts out of his mind.
He put his finger close to the girl's nose, and there was still a snort, a sign that reassured him a lot.
After a lot of tossing, Xu Zhengchen finally helped her to the back seat of the battery.
Buzz Buzz......
There was a vibration of the mobile phone in the pocket of his jacket, and Xu Zhengchen seemed to realize something bad in his heart, and reluctantly took out the mobile phone from his pocket.
The caller ID is a customer who has ordered food.
"Ah...... Feed? Xu Zhengchen put the mobile phone close to his ear, and did not forget to support the girl's crumbling delicate body with his hand throughout the whole process.
"Hey, hello, is it the guy who delivered the food?" A rough voice came from the other end of the phone, "You haven't delivered the food I ordered yet, I'll cancel the order if you don't hurry up." ”
"Hello, the situation is like this...... I was just ......"
"Got it, got it." The rough voice continued, "Send it to me quickly, everyone on my side is waiting." ”
"Shh Xu Zhengchen squeezed out a word from his mouth, and he couldn't wait to throw away all the food in the trunk with his backhand.
But the current situation does not allow him to continue delivering food, so it is inevitable that he will be unbearable to ignore it, not to mention that there is almost no one else in the park at this time.
The heart will be tangled for a while, and then calm, and it is as messy as a twine that is entwined together.
In the end, he made up his mind to ride the girl to a small clinic nearby, and put the food delivery behind for the time being.
……
"Strange Schoolgirl ......"
Looking at the infusion tube attached to the girl's hand, Xu Zhengchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help laughing at himself a few times, he couldn't deliver food, but instead paid for others' medical expenses, and the whole day was in vain.
The feverish girl leaned on the bench and fell asleep, her petite and delicate face showing tiredness, and I am afraid that the whole person did not know what happened after passing out.
Xu Zhengchen's back was pressed against the bench, and he sat quietly with his head raised and his eyes closed, and the strange girl was beside him.
Before this, Xu Zhengchen had never seen this girl, and his impression of her appearance was only at the level of a mixed-race girl.
The girl wore a long blouse with light fabric, paired with casual shorts that were not overly ostentatious, and her unique temperament was revealed for a while. The white bow has a black-brown ponytail tied around the headband, and a shiny necklace around the neck.
Her whole body exuded a faint scent of lavender, and the most alluring part was her soft breasts that clinged to the fabric, which was really imaginative.
"Hmm."
Xu Zhengchen seemed to realize the clumsiness of his behavior, so he quickly took the gentleman's gaze off the girl's chest and got up to leave.
"Ah, it's not early, I have to hurry up and deliver the customer's food to him......"
Before closing, there are flavorful restaurants.
"It is expected that in the process of a new round of rainfall, there will be heavy rain in most parts of the province, heavy rain in some areas, and a small number of areas will be accompanied by short-term heavy precipitation, local storms and other strong convective weather, and the precipitation will reach the highest peak in the past years......"
"It's not a very peaceful summer this year...... "The manager of the restaurant is sitting at the counter, looking up at the weather forecast on the TV.
"I'm back."
Xu Zhengchen, who was physically and mentally exhausted, pushed open the glass door, ignored the store manager's words, and walked straight to the kitchen.
It wasn't long before the kitchen sink came with the sound of dishes washing, the splash of water wetting the apron in front of him, and the greasy stains between his hands.
"Hey, young man, why don't you leave so late?" The manager leaned against the kitchen door and said in a slow tone, "We don't offer food and lodging services." ”
The manager in front of him is wearing a chef's apron, there is no superfluous expression on his face that has experienced vicissitudes, the eye circles under the black-framed glasses are slightly dark, and the figure is not fat but has a bit of middle-aged fortune, giving people the image of a good old man.
Although Xu Zhengchen had not inquired about his name, while rummaging through the account books not long ago, he accidentally saw a ticket with his name on it, and vaguely remembered that the three words Zhang Yufeng were printed on it.
"Right away, wash this stack of dishes and leave." Xu Zhengchen continued to scrub the dishes in the sink.
"It can't be that you're having trouble delivering food, is it?" A smile bloomed on Zhang Yufeng's tense face.
"Nope."
The smile on Zhang Yufeng's face did not decrease: "I see that you came back later than usual, and you said more than usual." ”
"Uh...... No. Xu Zhengchen pretended to be calm, but the yellow sponge in his hand was unconsciously grasped a little, "I have always spoken like this......"
"Really?"
