Chapter 1: A Rainy Night
The city is beautiful, and many people are attracted to it. The city is also cruel, and how many people are bruised by it. At night, the city can be dazzling, beautiful and quiet, hysterical and lonely.
At two o'clock in the morning, the streets of Wuhan bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of the day and ushered in the emptiness of the night.
The wind blew, and torn newspapers and discarded convenience bags flew in the dim light, like souls that had lost their bodies and turned into lonely ghosts. Such cities are even bleaker in autumn.
In the dim light, a girl waited alone, it could be seen that the girl was a college student, she wrapped her clothes tightly and raised her head left and right, waiting for a taxi. After half an hour, the girl crouched down in despair, looked at her shadow, and tears flowed out for some reason.
Plane trees are planted on both sides of the street, and the autumn wind blows through the yellow leaves, which fall all over the street, and taxis drive by, and the yellow leaves are carried up by the wind. The girl got up to wipe her tears, and saw the word 'Youke' on the front sign of the taxi in the blur of tears, but she still stretched out her hand and beckoned, and sure enough, the taxi flew by mercilessly, and the girl withdrew her hand in disappointment.
At this time, the taxi suddenly stopped, and it fell back in front of the girl, and the driver rolled down the window to be a female master in her forties.
The female master told the girl that if she wanted to get on the bus, she had to get the permission of the passengers behind her, and the girl lowered her head and looked through the window to see a young man sleeping in the back seat. Judging from his bright clothes, the girl guessed that the other party should be about the same age as herself, but the girl smelled alcohol from the car.
The girl nodded, and the female master shook the passenger behind him in the hope of waking him up, but the passenger didn't look at the girl when he woke up, and said tirelessly: "By the way, I changed my comfortable position and fell asleep again."
The female master motioned for the girl to get into the car, and when the girl opened the car door, a strong smell of alcohol came to her face. The female master apologized with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, in fact, this young man is good, he knows that he is drunk and afraid of soiling my car, so he even said sorry a few times when he got in the car."
So polite? The girl turned her head to look closely at the young man beside her, but the young man tilted his head to the window on the other side, and could not see his face, only the face of the light shining on his side by the street.
The female master asked the girl where she was going, and the girl said to go to Westlake College. The female master said "Huh", "You go to the same place as this young man, you may be alumni."
The girl let out a soft "oh" and turned her head to look at the possible alumni around her.
A taxi continued to move forward, and street lights flashed on the roof of the taxi, flashing into the girl's eyes.
The night sky was full of dark clouds, and suddenly it rained lightly, and the girl was uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol in the car, so she said to the female master that she hoped to open the window a little to breathe. The female master nodded, and also knew that the wine smelled bad, so she said: "Open it up a little, the young man is drunk and blowing the wind is easy to catch a cold."
With the permission of the female master, the girl rolled down the window a little, and the fresh air after the rain blew in through the narrow gap, and the girl took a sharp breath into the gap in the window, which was much more comfortable.
The wind blew onto the boy's loose hair, which fell to the side. The boy subconsciously pulled it up with his shirt, and the girl noticed that the boy had a schoolbag at his feet and picked it up and put it on the seat. The bag was very light, and the girl could tell by touch that there should be a few packs of snacks in it in addition to two or three books.
The female master turned on the wiper mirror and observed the boy and girl from the rearview mirror in the car from time to time.
Suddenly, the girl's phone rang, she took out her white mobile phone, and saw that the caller ID girl was indifferent, and her eyes went straight out of the car.
The car was driving in the drizzle, the three people in the car were silent, only the phone rang non-stop, and the girl's expression changed complicatedly.
"Is that your boyfriend?" The female driver asked suddenly.
The girl was startled and asked, "How do you know?" ”
The female master smiled and said, "I can see from your expression, I am considered a person from this kind of thing, is it a quarrel." ”
The girl nodded with an "um". But I thought: It shouldn't be a quarrel!
The female master laughed dryly and said, "Tonight is really special, carrying two lovelorn people." ”
"Two?"
"Well, the one next to you, when he first got in the car, he kept calling a girl's name, it seemed to be Xuanxuan, saying don't go, don't go, and now it's finally safe."
The girl turned to look at the boy again, but the boy was still sleeping happily.
The sound of rain on the roof of the car was getting louder and louder, and some drizzle fell on the girl's body through the cracks in the windows, and the girl hurriedly closed the windows.
When passing by a bridge, the female master suddenly braked, the girl and the boy rushed forward and rebounded back by inertia, the boy closed his eyes and waved his hand, and said: "How to move, this game can't be played, it's annoying." After saying that, he waved his hand a few more times, and then fell asleep.
The girl glanced at the boy, didn't she break up? How do you dream of a game? Is it true that girlfriends are more important than games?
The girl saw that the female master suddenly got out of the car in the rain, bent down in the front lights of the car as if she was picking up something, she put the things in her arms and hurried back to the car, and the girl saw that the things that the female master picked up turned out to be two kittens.
The female master, like the two kittens, was soaked all over. The female master apologized to the girl and said, "I'm sorry, I almost hit them just now." They were referring to the two stray cats in their arms. The female master handed the cat to the girl and drove on the road again.
The girl took the cat, took out a tissue to wipe the rain off the cat, and said, "They are so pitiful for such a heavy rain." ”
Because the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the female master slowed down the car and said, "Yes, there are a lot of stray cats around here, and I used to adopt a few, but the children in the back thought they were noisy and didn't like them, so I gave them to my colleagues." ”
Two stray cats whispered and crawled in the girl's arms. The girl stroked their fur and said softly, "It's not noisy, they're just hungry."
The girl remembered the snacks in the boy's school bag, maybe there were some cats in it, and opened it and rummaged in it for a long time, before finally taking out a box and leaving a small half of biscuits. Put the biscuit next to the cat's mouth, and the cat sticks out its tongue and licks it before sending it to its mouth with its little paws.
The female master saw that the girl liked cats very much, so she hoped that she could adopt the pair of stray cats, and the girl agreed without thinking about it. The car moved on.
When she arrived at Westlake College, the rain did not stop, and the girl took out the money to pay the fare and prepared to get off.
The female master called her: "The doors of this college are closed, how can you get in?" ”
The girl smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm renting a house outside." ”
The female master said with an "oh": "I have an umbrella here, but it is a little broken, if you don't mind, take it and use it." ”
The girl hurriedly thanked and took a red umbrella, but a few of the brackets were bent and could not be opened.
The girl looked at the two kittens in her hand, because one hand had to hold an umbrella so that the two cats could not hold it, and she saw that the boy's schoolbag was open, so she stuffed one of the cats into it. The kitten in the bag quickly stuck its head out, and the little eyes were firmly fixed on the other cat in the girl's hand, and the two kittens were whispering in the air. It seems that it is inseparable.
The girl smiled and said "thank you" to the female master and left the car. Before leaving, he looked at the boy's schoolbag outside the car door, and the cat in the bag still had its head on him, as if he wished he could take good care of it.
Rainy night
In addition to the street lamps and the sound of rain on the street, the girl walks alone in the rain with a red umbrella, as if she likes the moment very much, and occasionally removes the umbrella to let the rain fall on her face.
The girl smiled at the rain, the street belonged to her at this time, no one disturbed her world, and the sound of the rain made the street more peaceful.
The female master woke the boy up, and the boy rubbed his eyes dimly. The lady told him that a girl had already paid the fare, and that the girl had given him a gift and asked you to take good care of it.
The boy asked, confused, "What?" What girl? What gift? ”
The female master said with a smile: "You will know when you go back, by the way, the door of this college is closed, how can you get in?" ”
The boy didn't think about it and said, "Flip it in, it's not once or twice." ”
The boy got out of the car in the rain with his schoolbag in his hand and looked across the street, only to see a red shadow disappearing around the corner.
In the middle of the night, could it be a ghost?
Finding a suitable position, the boy threw the bag in, and when the bag hit the ground, a cat's scream sounded, but the rain was too loud to drown out the cat's voice. The boy was very skillful in flipping in, picking up his schoolbag and slipping around the corner.
The female taxi master, looking at the disappearing figure of the girl on one side of the street, and the action of the boy on the other side of the street climbing over the wall, smiled and released the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the car continued to move forward in the rainy night.
