Chapter 29 : The Man Who Fears the Rain
The weather has been unusual these days. The sky is always gray and hung with a veil of melancholy.
People under the gray sky, the past is in a hurry. They each held an umbrella in their hands to prevent it from wetting their expensive clothes when it rained.
Yu Zhiyu was wrapped in a raincoat and holding an umbrella, standing on the balcony of his home, he was afraid of the rain. He hated the feeling of the rain dripping wet his clothes, sticky and lingering like a plague all over his body.
So as soon as there were dark clouds in the sky, he had to take refuge in his house and arm himself to prevent the disgusting raindrops from touching him.
Yu Zhiyu held a lollipop in his mouth and glared at his eyes. He tried to look through the dark clouds in the sky to see if the world in the dark clouds was also full of dampness and gloom.
The sky is always so deep that no matter how human eyes can't touch it. He clutched his chest, trying to calm his heart, the sweetness of his mouth reassuring him. He didn't know when he started, he was so afraid of rain, but he longed for the dark clouds in the sky.
Raindrops finally fell from the sky, and drop by drop fell on this desolate land.
It tries to infiltrate everything, but everything has long since melted. There's not even a touch of green in the city. It goes well with the sky, it's all gray.
People's clothes are gray, the rows of tall buildings are gray, and the intricate roads are gray.
Everything in front of Yu Zhiyu's eyes was gray.

Lan Qing and Lan Lan were both nesting at home, the weather was really bad, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Lan Lan has resigned since sleepwalking, and lives at home every day on his only remaining savings and his parents' relief money.
She is just an ordinary girl, she loves stinky beauty, loves snacks, and likes to shop.
However, now she is a bit like a flower child.
Unkempt and unkempt.
Lan Lan didn't care about this, and he didn't have to go out to meet people anyway. Now she just wants to be a housemaid at home with peace of mind, eating and sleeping every day.
Lan Qing doesn't like to go out now, so Lan Lan can sleep peacefully, at least she is safe when she sleepwalks.
Lan Qing looked at the crazy woman who was holding a bucket of potato chips on the sofa and chasing the drama, he was a little speechless.
Since Lan Lan's resurrection, his personality is completely two.
In the past, Lan Lan was clever and cute, very focused and serious about everything, and was even more meticulous about her outfits, like a princess.
Now this woman, Lan Qing is a little worried about whether she can get married.
After he ended Ma Lin's wish, he almost didn't take on any more tasks, and what he needed to do now was not to complete the mission of the Grim Reaper, but to solve Lan Lan's problem.
Some of those memories were from the previous Lan Lan, and some of them never happened. Lan Lan didn't tell Lan Qing, but Lan Qing already knew that Lan Lan had dreamed that he had killed her.
Lan Qing had a hunch that Lan Lan would have an accident again. He must find a solution to save Lan Lan. He didn't know if he would be able to accept Lan Lan's death again.
A pillow smashed on Lan Qing's head, interrupting Lan Qing's thinking.
"Xiaoqing, I'm hungry......"
Lan Lan's tone was very long, and she stretched on the sofa.
Lan Qing looked at the bucket of potato chips and the pile of snack packages on the ground,
"You...... Can you still eat? ”
"Oops! Whatever, I'm hungry, I want to eat...... I want to eat! ”
Lan Lan rolled directly on the sofa, Lan Qing was a little helpless against this ancestor.
"Don't you think my cooking is unpalatable?"
"What can I do, it's raining so hard now, and I can't deliver takeaway."
Lan Lan stuck out his tongue,
"Xiaoqing, my good brother, you know my sister and I, I can only eat, and I don't know how to turn on the gas stove when I look so big."
"Do me a favor, my good brother...... Can you bear to watch your sister starve to death? ”
"You won't starve to death for a while."
Lan Qing said this, but his body went directly into the kitchen. Lan Lan looked at Lan Qing's figure,
"Stinky boy, not honest at all."
Lan Qing really doesn't know how to cook. He is the god of death, he doesn't need to eat at all, where is the need to cook himself.
He glanced out through the kitchen window, and the rain was still so heavy, sticky and thick, that there was no intention of stopping.
He washed the few vegetables left in the fridge, cut them casually and threw them into the pot, until he smelled the mush, and then remembered that he hadn't put oil.
Lan Lan stood behind him and knocked on his head,
"It's over! The old lady never thought that she would starve to death......"
"Xiaoqing...... My sister's only wish is to be able to eat a full meal......"
Lan Lan played with the essence, covered his chest, and leaned back.
"Bang dang!"
"Damn, are you my brother? Do you just watch your sister fall to the ground? ”
Lan Qing didn't react at all,
"Hey! I said......"
Lan Qing stopped Lan Lan from continuing, and he saw a person standing on the opposite side of the building.
That person's life was about to end, but Lan Qing couldn't contact him no matter what.
In other words, the person does not see the Grim Reaper until he dies, and the Grim Reaper has no way to grant his wishes.
"I'm sorry, sister. You're going to be hungry today, I've got something to go out for. ”
"Don't sleep until I come back."
"Oh......"
Lan Lan pouted aggrievedly, there was no way, who would let himself not know how to cook?
In fact, Lan Qing went out not only because that person had no way to contact him, but more importantly, Lan Qing felt the breath of that person.
The one who turned himself into the Grim Reaper - the first Grim Reaper.
Since Lan Lan was killed by herself, Lan Qing thought of this person. Until Lan Lan had an inexplicable memory, Lan Qing always thought that he was playing ghosts. Now Lan Qing even felt his presence.
He wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. He didn't want to see Lan Lan die in his arms again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yu Zhiyu has been watching the rain on the balcony, and the lollipops in his mouth are one after another.
He needed lollipops to calm himself down, and he tried smoking, but the more he smoked, the more agitated he became. Until he ate a lollipop, the sweetness that children love, made him feel a rare sense of calm as an adult.
So whenever it rains, Yu Zhiyu has to prepare multiple lollipops to get himself through this difficult rainy day.
He especially likes the strawberry flavor that little girls love. It may be a psychological effect, it is obviously the taste of food flavors, but Yu Zhiyu thinks it is more delicious than ordinary strawberries.
The rain suddenly stopped, but the clouds did not disperse and still hung in the air.
The smell of earthy wetness filled the air, and along with the smell of strawberry essence, Yu Chiyu's mouth was filled.
He still didn't dare to put the umbrella down, and he didn't dare to put the umbrella down until the sun came out. He is not at ease, he is afraid that God will play tricks on him. God has lied to him enough times.
Deceived his life, deceived his future, deceived his lollipop, and he hated God to death.
Lan Qing had already appeared beside Yu Zhiyu, and this strange man had never felt his presence from beginning to end.
He couldn't feel Yu Zhiyu's vitality anymore, but Yu Zhiyu just couldn't see Lan Qing and couldn't feel Lan Qing. Even if Lan Qing talked to him, he couldn't hear it.
After Lan Qing came out, he was looking for the first generation of death, and it was raining a lot, and the breath of the first generation of death was also very heavy. Just like this rain, it was everywhere, and Lan Qing couldn't breathe.
He came to Yu Zhiyu's house, where the source of the original Grim Reaper's breath was.
But no matter how Lan Qing looks, Yu Zhiyu is the only one in this house.
Lan Qing looked at this strange young man and could see it.
Yu Zhiyu's whole body was wrapped in a raincoat, and only his eyes were exposed.
But in his eyes, there were other souls. Lan Qing suddenly remembered Li Er, but Li Er couldn't control the existence of the two souls. The soul of the person in front of him can be switched at will.
Lan Qing suddenly felt that there were two people standing in front of him, both of them were Yu Zhiyu, with the same appearance and the same character, the only difference was the soul of the two.
The rain stopped, and the aura of the first Grim Reaper was gone.
After waiting for a long time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the sky. The sun tried to tear a passage through the gaps in the dark clouds, squeezing its body out and sending warmth to the earth.
Yu Zhiyu finally put down the umbrella in his hand and took off his raincoat.
Lan Qing saw Yu Zhiyu's appearance at this time, and he suddenly felt that the words "sinking fish and falling geese" and "closing the moon and shy flowers" should not only be used to describe beautiful women, but also beautiful men.
He is really beautiful, like Michelangelo's new "David" carved by combining the classical beauty of China. A glance and a frown, they are all stunning in the world.
Yu Zhiyu had long hair and waist-length, and if it weren't for his naked body under his raincoat, Lan Qing would even doubt his gender.
Yu Zhiyu couldn't see Lan Qing, so naturally he wouldn't care about this, he walked into the bathroom and rinsed his body.
His eyes were filled with joy for the sunny day, and he washed and hummed a song.
"The evening breeze kisses all the lotus leaves, let me get drunk and fall by the pool......"
Lan Qing didn't have that kind of quirk, so naturally he wouldn't stay in Zhiyu's house, because he didn't find the first Grim Reaper, so he could only return in vain.
The rain has stopped, Lan Lan should have ordered takeout, and now she is having a good time.
Lan Qing thought like this, and left Yu Zhiyu's house.
Yu Zhiyu stared at the bathroom door, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Lan Qing was given another chance, he wouldn't go out anyway.
After returning to Lan Lan's house, he saw blood stains all over the ground, Lan Lan's home was not small, but there was not a clean floor tile, and the blood stains stained every inch of the ground.
It's like purgatory on earth.
The air is filled with the smell of blood and the smell of food.
Lan Qing ran to the living room,
Looking at the scene in the living room, he felt a little difficult to breathe, and he even wanted to laugh.
saw Lan Lan kneeling on the ground, as well as the food in front of her.
Lan Lan still maintained the expression of wanting to feast, but her body was pierced by a sharp blade.
Lan Qing was a little dizzy, and he leaned against the wall, trying to make himself stand firm.
He moved to Lan Lan's side step by step,
This little gluttonous cat never forgot to eat until he died.
"I'm sorry sister...... I didn't protect you this time. ”
Lan Qing was holding Lan Lan's body, and he was still waiting for Lan Lan to come back to life.
He felt that Lan Lan would appear behind him soon, patting him on the shoulder and asking him to cook for her.
He felt a little moist in the corners of his eyes, and he knew it wasn't tears.
It's a scar on oneself.
