Outside, lightning and thunder roared, and from time to time there was the sound of the wind hammering against the windows.

Xue Lanlan shrunk like a quail, standing on the edge of the windowsill, holding a cup of ginger tea in her hand, this cup of ginger tea was brewed by her at night, and there was not much tea stored in the water bar, and it was just right to drink it on this rainy day.

Xue Lanlan sniffed, and when she was still hesitating how to go back, she saw a strange figure outside the window.

How do you describe that figure?

Imagine, a strange green figure suddenly appeared on the empty street, and because of looking down from a height, Xue Lanlan could clearly see the other party's umbrella.

The umbrella is goose yellow, and there is a big mushroom printed on it, which makes Xue Lanlan feel very familiar, and the other party holds the umbrella and walks straight to the company's building.

Xue Lanlan remembered that there were several cultural companies in this office building, and she looked at the figures outside, and couldn't help but think deeply, how dedicated it must be to come to the company so late!

Xue Lanlan thought so in her heart, and when she saw that the figure had disappeared into the company, she exhaled slightly, and couldn't help but think of the days when she used to work overtime, she never thought that one day she would be hindered by the rain in the company and couldn't go home.

Xue Lanlan took a breath, and was about to take another sip of ginger tea and go to the conference room to lie down for a while, when she heard a sound at the door of the company.

There was a "click" sound, which startled Xue Lanlan.

Xue Lanlan hurriedly turned her head to look at the door, but she saw the goose-yellow umbrella and green clothes, and when she got closer, she realized that it was a raincoat.

It's just that whether it's a swimsuit, a raincoat, it's very familiar, Xue Lanlan was stunned, and then she saw that the person who came was actually Du Peng.

At this time, Du Peng hung the umbrella very calmly, and then raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "I'm here, I'm here to pick you up from work." ”

Although this is not the first time that Du Peng has picked her up from work, but inexplicably, Xue Lanlan has a different feeling, and an indescribable emotion pours directly into action from her heart.

Xue Lanlan stepped in front of Du Peng in three or two steps, and then stepped forward and gave him a hug tightly.

She hugged Du Peng, and Du Peng looked at her.

This moment of time was like a stop for Xue Lanlan, Xue Lanlan took a breath, and her whole head leaned on Du Peng's arms.

Only when she was closer to him could Xue Lanlan better experience Du Peng's touch, skin, and heart that he couldn't beat at all.

Xue Lanlan closed her eyes lightly, leaning on Du Peng, she leaned for about ten seconds before taking a breath and leaving Du Peng's arms.

Du Peng kept maintaining a posture, he didn't understand what Xue Lanlan's hug meant, so he could only look at Xue Lanlan with a pair of black and white eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"No, nothing." Xue Lanlan shook her head slightly, did not take his words, but lowered her head slightly and asked, "Why are you here?" “

"I said that it was a heavy rainstorm tonight, you didn't listen to me in the morning, I saw that it was raining at night, and your GPS system positioning has been staying in the company, so I guessed that you should not be able to come back, so I came to pick you up." Du Peng said and untied the raincoat on his body, and then said, "I'll go and wipe the raincoat first, and we'll leave as soon as I'm done." ”

Xue Lanlan opened her mouth when she heard Du Peng's words, and finally held back the "thank you" she wanted to say.

Heavy rains fall on the ground, creating puddles of water.

Xue Lanlan stood at the door of the company, Du Peng stood next to her, although he was wearing a nondescript raincoat at this time, but his face was still the same, maybe it was not a human reason, Xue Lanlan always felt that she was not tired of looking at Du Peng's face many times.

Rainwater splashes on the stone bricks, popping up layers of splashes.

Xue Lanlan glanced at Du Peng beside her, and then heard Du Peng say in a deep voice, "Go now?" ”

"Wait a little longer." When Xue Lanlan said, she raised her hand to catch the rain, and the raindrops the size of beans hurt when they fell on her hands.

Xue Lanlan took a breath, and inexplicably thought of the last time she was enjoying a rainy night was a few years ago, when she was still the little princess by her mother's side.

"I don't know what's wrong, but I think a lot when I see the rain." Xue Lanlan looked at the ticking rain and said softly to Du Peng beside her: "Whether it is a memory, there are legends, there are so many memories about rainy days." ”

Du Peng listened to Xue Lanlan's words, tilted his head silently, he looked at Xue Lanlan, as a robot, every word was set, so he didn't know how to respond, so he could only say dryly: "The rain is lighter, we should go." ”

Xue Lanlan glanced at him and nodded slightly, indeed, now the rain is much lighter than before, she silently followed Du Peng's side, and the two of them held an umbrella.

"I remember this umbrella was my old umbrella, where did you find it?" Xue Lanlan raised her eyes to look at the umbrella above her head, and her gaze gently swept over the other party's face.

At this time, she heard Du Peng say: "You put it in the box under the bed, and I found it when I was cleaning you during this time, so I cleaned and stored it." ”

"This umbrella was bought for me by my mother before, and I used it for several years, and the last time she came to my house, she brought it with her, and then she forgot to take it with her, and I forgot it." When Xue Lanlan said this, she once again unconsciously thought of her mother, since her mother died, she had avoided things about her mother, and now when she thought about it, that complicated and uncomfortable feeling once again came out of her heart.

Xue Lanlan thought about it and quickly shook her head, then exhaled, turned her head to look at Du Peng and changed the topic: "Do you know what the point of two people holding an umbrella together?" ”

"What's the point?" Du Peng asked as he began to find the answer on his own.

"In Japan, two single men and women holding an umbrella together is called a matching umbrella." Xue Lanlan quickly explained: "It is said that when it rains or snows, a couple sharing an umbrella will have a close effect in psychology and action, and produce a special atmosphere, which is usually regarded as a symbol of love in both Chinese and Japanese traditional cultural consciousness." “

Du Peng listened to Xue Lanlan's words, as if he had found the information in private, and opened his mouth to add: "First, the area under the umbrella is usually considered a private space, and allowing others to share private space with oneself is itself a kind of recognition or acquiescence to intimacy; Second, on rainy or snowy days, the umbrella constitutes a symbol of protection, and sharing an umbrella with others means offering or accepting shelter from others; Third, due to the limited space under the umbrella (often deliberately caused by the person providing the umbrella), two people who share an umbrella often try to get as close as possible to avoid getting wet, resulting in a virtual closeness to each other, and the act is often called a conjunctive umbrella in Japanese. The Umbrella, a symbol of affection and affection unique to traditional Japanese culture, is believed to have originated from the ......"

Xue Lanlan was stunned and watched Du Peng say a lot of things, and then she silently watched Du Peng finish speaking, and added: "It's a pity that I'm not a human being, so it's not a compatible umbrella with me." “

Xue Lanlan listened to Du Peng's words, especially his last sentence was like hitting her in the chest, making her open her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to say.

Xue Lanlan took a breath, and then lowered her head slightly to look at her feet, at this time, the two of them had already entered the subway station, probably because of the rain, and it was possible that it was past the crowd period, and there were not many people in the subway station at this time.

Xue Lanlan tidied up the umbrella in her hand slightly, shook off the water, and then took Du Peng to find a vacant seat and sit down, probably because of the crowd point, the reason why there are not many people in the subway, there are many vacant seats.

Xue Lanlan sat in the position, Du Peng leaned against him tightly, the two of them leaned together and looked like a couple, Xue Lanlan leaned on Du Peng's side at this time, and couldn't help but shiver, because Du Peng is a robot, it will feel colder to touch in this case.

Xue Lanlan shuddered, Du Peng also felt it, he turned around slightly, and asked softly, "Cold?" “

"Hmm." Xue Lanlan nodded slightly.

Du Peng thought for a while, then took Xue Lanlan's hand and put her hand on the position of his big arm, fortunately this position was not embarrassing.

Xue Lanlan was shocked by Du Peng's behavior, she blinked, and then looked at the other party's actions, looking confused, at this time, she felt a warm feeling from her arm, as if there was a warm stove reflected in the palm of her hand.

The feeling of comfort starts in the palm of your hand and flows into your limbs.

Du Peng looked at Xue Lanlan, who was blinking and confused, and took the initiative to explain: "My big arm is a radiator, so the temperature here is higher, you can get a little closer." ”

Xue Lanlan pursed her lips when she heard this, this robot is like this, always inadvertently teasing her blushing, she nodded slightly, and then kept leaning her palm on Du Peng's big arm, Xue Lanlan's company and home are not far away, and the subway is about 5 stops.

Xue Lanlan glanced at the time, and then she didn't know if it was because she was tired, she instinctively leaned against Du Peng's side, her whole head leaned against him, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was in a sweet dream.

Du Peng looked at Xue Lanlan's sudden reaction, his originally expressionless and cloudy eyes flashed a little, if Xue Lanlan woke up at this time, she would definitely be surprised by the other party's expression.

The sound of the subway shuttling in the lane, Du Peng looked at the advertising posters flashing outside the lane, and couldn't help but think of Xue Lanlan's face, he looked down slightly at Xue Lanlan who was leaning on his arm.

She leaned her head on his shoulder at this time, holding his big arm with one hand, he knew that the temperature was transmitted, and now he could feel Xue Lanlan's temperature from his big arm.

This feeling made Du Peng feel very wonderful, just when he was thinking, the car in the subway station shook slightly, Du Peng saw that the next stop was the destination, and gently touched Xue Lanlan beside him, and he said softly to her: "Wake up, Xue Lanlan wake up, it's time to get to the place." ”

Xue Lanlan was startled by Du Peng, and quickly opened her eyes to look at Du Peng, Xue Lanlan, who had just woken up, didn't have much consciousness at all, so when she saw Du Peng, she didn't react immediately, but was slightly stunned and asked, "This is here?" ”

"Metro, it's time for us to get off." Du Peng spoke hard, and the subway station also arrived.

Xue Lanlan then remembered that because of the heavy rain, Du Peng came to pick her up, and at this time both of them were in the subway station, and Xue Lanlan also noticed that the subway had arrived.

She patted her face vigorously, and then followed Du Peng out of the subway station, except for the subway station, Xue Lanlan was only a little sober.

At this time, the rain outside was still falling, Xue Lanlan and Du Peng returned home side by side, and when she got home, she saw that Du Peng's back was all drenched, she frowned slightly, and watched Du Peng untie his raincoat and tidy up while tidying up.

Her eyes fell on Du Peng's body, even if he was wearing a raincoat, she could see that the other party's clothes were soaked.

She watched Du Peng untie his clothes very indifferently, his upper body was naked, and his textured body had traces of rain.

"Is it okay for you to get wet?" Xue Lanlan always felt that Du Peng was an electronic product, and it would be very troublesome if she was drenched, and she never thought that Du Peng would come to pick her up in a wet situation.

Xue Lanlan thought of this, and felt faintly distressed in her heart, she looked at Du Peng and turned around slightly, he was wiping his body with a towel at this time, he paused and said, "It's okay, I have a very safe protection system inside." “

Xue Lanlan exhaled slightly, and hurriedly turned her head and said, "Okay, then you wipe it carefully, don't have any short circuits." ”

After speaking, Xue Lanlan didn't wait for the other party to answer, and entered the room without looking back, and only after she entered the room did she sit on the ground a little angrily.

Xue Lanlan looked at her knees and touched her ears with her own hands, Xue Lanlan knew very well in her heart that just when Du Peng just turned her head, her heart skipped an incredible beat.

Especially when she saw the skin on Du Peng's body, she actually had a dry mouth and wanted to touch it.

"Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil." Xue Lanlan continued to nag in her heart for a long time before she took a slight breath, and just when she was ending like this, Xue Lanlan saw her mobile phone flashing screen, it was a WeChat message.

Xue Lanlan opened WeChat and saw Qiao Ping's message, he sent a photo of a USB drive, which was the one she borrowed at the beginning:

- The USB drive has been received, have you gone home?

Xue Lanlan took a few deep breaths before she began to reply to the message:

- I've gone home, it's good that you received it, thank you.

Qiao Ping responded with a smiley face emoji this time, Xue Lanlan didn't respond again, and the heart that had just been picked up by Du Peng was a little calmer because of talking to Qiao Ping.

She hurriedly got up to tidy up her face and brush her teeth, and at this moment the mobile phone rang again, and Qiao Ping continued to add this sentence on the other end of the phone:

- It's good when you get home.

Xue Lanlan looked at this sentence and fell into thought, and inexplicably had a subtle and strange feeling.
