Chapter Twenty-Nine: Summer Insects Can't Speak Ice
After the bell rang for the end of class, she looked at the rain outside the window, and felt sorry for not being able to bring an extra umbrella when she went out.
After packing her schoolbag, she moved around in her seat and didn't know how to go home, Liang Qingqing saw that she was still sitting on the seat after sorting out her schoolbag, so he asked her if she wanted to share an umbrella together. Liang Qingqing also only has a small umbrella, and the families of the two live in different places, and they go their own ways after leaving the school.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people in the class, and most of the students who are still sitting in their seats are waiting for their parents to pick them up, Fang Ruo doesn't want to keep doing this, but she doesn't have an umbrella, and it is inevitable that she will go home in the rain.
She and Liang Qingqing leaned tightly under the thin umbrella, but the rain was too heavy, the two of them didn't walk out of the teaching building a few steps, the trouser legs were already half wet, the original white canvas shoes were covered with muddy water stains, and the feet walked on the wet road one deep and one shallow, and the shoes made a naughty "creaking" sound after entering the water.
The two of them walked to the communication room at the school gate in an extremely embarrassed manner, Fang Ruo protected the schoolbag on her chest with her hands all the way, so her schoolbag was still intact.
Because it was a two-person umbrella, the space under the umbrella was limited, her right shoulder was inevitably wet, her hair was silky, the small broken hair on her forehead was even more wet, and the clothes on her lower body were even more soaked.
"You go back first, I'll wait here first, and I'll go back when the rain is a little lighter." Fang Ruo smiled at Liang Qingqing, and was very grateful for her kindness in his heart.
"Why don't you call your parents? Let them pick you up, it's raining a lot. Liang Qingqing pointed to the landline phone on the desk in the communication room, and motioned for Fang Ruo to use it to seek help from his family.
"It's okay, but I'd better wait for a while, the rain should stop after a while, you go back first, don't worry about me, it's okay." Fang Ruo smiled and pushed her shoulder, with a calm look on his face.
"Okay, then I'll go first, bye-bye, Fang Ruo, see you tomorrow." Liang Qingqing waved her hand and walked into the crowd of people who were going home with umbrellas, and in a blink of an eye, she disappeared from her sight like a sesame dot.
Fang Ruo leaned over and twisted a handful of water on her pants, her pants were twisted a little deformed under the strong action, she then patted the folds on the deformed trouser legs, but the pants were still uneven, she sighed helplessly, got up and didn't care about it anymore.
There were many people standing on the steps in front of the communication room, all of them were students who did not bring umbrellas, and everyone looked at the torrential rain in front of them, and they did not dare to go home like this, so they had to wait under the eaves.
After a while, the rain was relatively light, but it was still like a bean, and many of the students who were still sheltering from the rain just now rushed into the rain curtain and left in embarrassment.
Fang Ruo glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the communication room, it was already close to dinner time, and it would be too late if she didn't go home, in a hurry, she was ruthless, gritted her teeth and prepared to rush into the rain.
She had already thought about it, and when she got out, she would run under the canopy of the small shop outside the school gate, so that she could run a little less rain, and then she would run faster, and when she ran to the bus stop and got on the bus, she didn't have to worry, so it didn't seem so bad.
After comforting herself a little, she ran quickly towards the school gate with her head in her hands, the rain hit her face and body, it felt painful and cold, she had just run a few steps, and when she felt that her body had been baptized by the rain, an umbrella suddenly covered her head and stopped.
The rain didn't fall on me anymore.
Fang Ruo stopped and looked at the person holding an umbrella for himself next to him in surprise, his hands still maintained the head-hugging action of running in the rain just now, and his body was also moving forward, the person who came frowned and looked at her who was embarrassed at the moment, the two looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Ten seconds later, "Fang Ruo, you didn't bring an umbrella, don't you know how to call your parents to pick it up?" If you run back in the rain like this, you will catch a cold. Chen Zifan's words were very unhappy, as if he was more angry than Fang Ruo.
Fang Ruo embarrassedly let go of the arms wrapped around his head, brushed the rain on his forehead, and pretended to be calm and said, "Why haven't you gone back yet, I'm fine, the bus stop is in front." ”
Chen Zifan looked at her with incredulous eyes, there were still a few hundred meters away from the bus stop, and running under such rain would be drenched in soup, he felt that she was really stupid.
"You're really a fool, where do you live? I'll take you home, my dad came to pick me up, and his car was parked not far in front. Chen Zifan pointed to a black car a few meters away from them, and the car also honked twice in response, Fang Ruo didn't know much about the car, but he could also see that it was worth a lot.
She felt embarrassed and complicated, and her ashamed soul ran rampant in the narrow space between her mind, as if she were about to tear her own shell apart with hatred.
At the moment, the clothes are still sticky on the body, the shoes are also dirty, she is so embarrassed and embarrassed, she must seem particularly sad in the eyes of others, she doesn't like such kindness and care, which will only make her feel more inferior.
"No thanks." She shuddered, turned around and wanted to run out of the umbrella.
Chen Zifan grabbed her.
"Wait a minute, alas, if you don't want me, I won't be reluctant, take the umbrella, go back and don't get drenched in the rain, I said I had a cold last time, how can I not catch a cold like this."
"No..."
Chen Zifan didn't wait for her to refuse, so he hurriedly stuffed the umbrella handle into her hand, and then rushed into the rain, trotted to the car, pulled the car door and looked at her reluctantly, and then got into the car.
Seeing that the car had left, Fang Ruo came back to her senses, she glanced around blankly, and then quickly ran away like a thief.
When she returned home just in time for dinner, Fang Ruo's mother saw her take an umbrella home, and said to Fang Ruo's father who was holding dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen with a proud face: "I'll just say it, Ruoruo must have brought an umbrella, you see that you are still worrying." ”
"It's good to bring it, I don't see the umbrella on her desk."
"Why are your clothes wet, and you're still so wet with an umbrella, let's change out of your wet clothes first, and you're ready to eat." Fang Ruo's mother looked at her flushed cheeks in front of her, and her hair was also messy, like a weak grass that had experienced a grand storm.
Fang Ruo absentmindedly changed her clothes, after dinner, she went to the room to do her homework as usual, and it was late at night after finishing her homework and washing, she lay quietly on the bed, but her mood was still as hasty as in the evening.
Chen Zifan's enthusiasm, care and concern for her made her feel more of a bearing than enjoyment, she didn't like him, so she couldn't accept his heart in her heart, maybe she would be moved by it, but it was just a quiet touch, because she was not a stone, she couldn't be hard-hearted, and she couldn't turn a blind eye.
She also saw that Chen Zifan's family was superior, but she wanted to alienate him a little more, not because of anything else, but because he felt like she asked her today as usual, why didn't she let her family pick her up, but this sentence made her feel so bitter in her heart, and it hurt directly.
They are different, he is a flower in a greenhouse, a young man who grew up with his parents in his hands, he can never understand her difficulties and humility, and he cannot empathize.
And she didn't need him, or rather, they were doomed to be fruitless from the beginning. If Fang Ruo was still a little dazed before, now she is extremely sober at this moment.
The butterfly fluttered and flew twice, thinking it had found light, but broke its wings without warning.
It's strange that people seem to like to get closer to people who look like themselves, but they don't dare to touch people who are far away.
Fang Ruo doesn't like change, she doesn't like waves, she yearns for a peaceful and peaceful life, but she also has illusions about uninhibited indulgence in her heart, when she grows so big, except for Xu Zhuoyuan, no one has expressed their love and love for her in such a grand manner.
She is too sensitive, too timid, she is not a saint, she can't be pure-hearted, she knows that her heart is also greedy to enjoy his favor, she is confused and hesitant, she doesn't know how to face him.
But this is always too cruel, she can't destroy a boy's sincere heart, she can no longer covet and acquiesce in his love, she no longer allows herself to indulge, and when she is sober, she is also quietly lost.
The rainstorm stopped at the beginning, and the next morning Fang Ruo opened his eyes and saw a sunny day outside the window, and when he went downstairs after tidying up, he happened to meet Xu Zhuoyuan, Fang Ruo looked at him with a still pleasant smile, and felt very down-to-earth, Xu Zhuoyuan held two breads in his hand, and beckoned Fang Ruo to pick one he liked.
"That's it, bean paste and coconut paste." Fang Ruo smiled and took the palm-sized bread from his hand.
She also gave him the milk in her hand, "Now, one bottle per person." Xu Zhuoyuan also obediently took the milk from her hand.
The two of them walked towards the bus stop while eating, "How did you go back after it rained so hard yesterday, didn't you bring an umbrella in the morning?" ”
Xu Zhuoyuan remembered the heavy rain yesterday evening, in fact, he had an umbrella in his drawer, but thought that Fang Ruo might not have brought an umbrella, so he wanted her to go back with him, but the last self-study class was seized by the English teacher who liked to drag the class, and he was still talking after class, and when he finally got out of class, he hurriedly ran to the fifth class, but when he saw that the classroom was empty, she had already gone back.
"I've got an umbrella, back." Fang Ruo said a few words in a veiled manner, not wanting to mention this matter more. When she woke up in the morning, she had folded the umbrella that had already dried, smoothed out every fold on the umbrella with her hand, and put it neatly into her school bag.
After all, I still have to thank him, after all, he was the one who solved his urgent need at that time.
Today she arrived at the classroom earlier than usual, and before reading early, she placed the umbrella on his desk and attached a post-it note that said "Thank you", she really didn't want to contact and talk to him directly, hoping that he would understand what she meant.
She is a cocoon, to be curled up in her shell forever, silently hiding in the darkness.
