Chapter 220: "Nightmare"
The clouds were low in the sky, the sky was yellow, and from time to time, there was a rumbling sound.
When she went out, Lin Zi felt that it was going to rain heavily, but she didn't take an umbrella when she went out.
Now, the thunder roared, and when Lin Zi rushed out of the coffee shop, Hugo really got down.
Lin Zi was hit by the sudden rain and was very painful, and the raindrops the size of soybeans suddenly fell from the air that seemed to have broken a hole and hit Lin Zi's face.
She could finally cry.
Mixed with the rain, she can finally cry without scruples and unscrupulously.
Lin Zi was walking aimlessly in the rain, and the people next to him, running with everything that could be blocked, and the place where he could temporarily hide from the rain was already full of people.
Suddenly, Lin Zi felt as if someone was holding an umbrella to cover him.
Lin Zi turned around, Xu Chenrui frowned, his hair was already a little wet, and his black suit was covered with raindrops.
Lin Zi subconsciously pushed Xu Chenrui away with his hand.
continued to walk in the rain until Xu Chenrui threw away the umbrella and held Lin Ziheng in his arms.
"What are you doing? Put me down, let me down! β
Xu Chenrui didn't speak, no matter how Lin Zi tossed in his arms, he didn't care, and walked forward with her in his arms.
Lin Zi was still scolding, "Bastard, let me down, let me down!" β
Xu Chenrui hugged Lin Zi and threw him into the back seat of the car, and then turned around and sat in the driver's seat.
Lin Zi kept trying to open the door, but the car door was locked by Xu Chenrui, and no matter how Lin Zi pulled it, he wouldn't open it.
After all the strength was exhausted, Lin Zi curled up in the corner, lowered her head, and began to cry, her voice was very small, she tried not to let Xu Chenrui hear it.
Xu Chenrui heard the sound of crying in the back seat, and was about to turn back, but Lin Zi shouted loudly: "Don't look back, please ...... Leave me alone...... Is it good ......?"
Xu Chenrui knew Lin Zi's current situation and mood, and he was also very cooperative and did not look back, but looked behind him in the rearview mirror from time to time.
Lin Zi cried for an unknown amount of time, and finally lost consciousness as if he had fainted.
When she woke up, it was completely dark outside, and she didn't know when an extra blanket would come out of her.
Xu Chenrui also fell asleep leaning on the driver's seat, but his eyebrows kept frowning.
It was no longer raining outside, so she quietly put the blanket on her body back on Xu Chenrui's body, and then carefully opened the car door and got out of the car.
Lin Zi walked to Yi Zhen's community and got into her car, because she had been in the rain for a long time, she felt a little dizzy, but when she thought that her mother was still at home, she stepped on the accelerator and walked in the direction of the apartment.
Along the way, several times, her eyelids were about to droop, and when she hit the car in front of her, she was awakened by the other party's shrill horn.
finally returned home, and Lin Zi's whole person seemed to be about to collapse.
With the last of her strength, she went to her mother's room and took a look, where she was already asleep.
Lin Zi gently closed the door, and there were still scrambled eggs on the dining table outside, which should have been newly made at night, not as mushy as at noon.
The rice cooker was still hot, probably thinking that I would have a hot meal to eat when I came back.
Lin Zi closed her door, walked into the bathroom, filled the entire bathtub with water, she didn't take off her clothes, she climbed in directly, and covered her whole body.
She felt like she was dreaming in a daze.
I dreamed that it was pitch black, I wanted to cry but couldn't cry, my whole body lost half of my strength, my body was like pressing a huge stone, and it was like drowning in water, and I kept sinking, sinking, but I couldn't struggle...... Everything is left of him, and he is forever trapped in the darkness of despair......
She felt that she didn't even have the strength to cry, she couldn't move, her limbs seemed to be no longer her own, and her whole body seemed to be cramped and skinned, like the legendary dragon girl who had been plucked out of her scales - but she knew in her heart that this was not a curse, just fate, it was her life, and she couldn't break free.
In a daze, she seemed to hear someone crying, and the cry came and went, and then, she felt that her whole body was very light, very light.
The pitch-black world in front of me seemed to suddenly become brighter.
Time seems to have turned back, back to when she just turned 18 years old, she has always been a little princess in the eyes of her family, a pearl in her palm, she studies very well, and she is also the proudest protΓ©gΓ© of the teacher, and a good child who is envied by relatives and friends.
She found herself standing on the playground, next to someone running on the plastic track, rustling her feet, walking past her.
On the grass next to the playground, there was a girl, with her back to the runway, sitting on the grass, burying her head deep in her knees, tears falling in the grass one by one.
Lin Zi wanted to go up to comfort her, but no matter how she stepped forward, she couldn't get in or get close.
At this time, a boy walked slowly towards the girl.
Lin Zi recognized that it was eighteen-year-old Chen Hui.
The girl saw the boy's white sneakers with a leaf on them, and the boy squatted down to pluck the leaf with his right hand, and handed the girl a pack of tissues with his left hand.
The girl was stunned for a few seconds before reaching for the pack of tissues.
The boy touched the girl's head, then ran over with a bright smile on his face.
The moment the girl looked up, Lin Zi saw that it was her, that was her, that was her eighteen-year-old her.
At that time, she thought she had the whole world.
Chen Hui's father was a good friend of his father, but his father was not a businessman, but a diplomat.
He speaks English very well, speaks standard Oxford fluently as soon as he speaks, and can debate the use of phrases with old English ladies in class.
He was so good at math that he often looked at himself with admiration.
But he is not the kind of student who is hardworking, his good grades are pure genius, and he can run to the playground to play basketball ten minutes after class.
Once, in math class, just after the bell rang, he ran back panting and holding the ball, standing at the door and shouting "report".
Lao Ben, who teaches mathematics, hates the students being late, so he turned his head to look at him as if he hadn't heard of it, so he had to stand at the door and be the door god.
After a while, Lao Ben began to send the test papers of the last city-wide joint examination, and Lao Ben's habit is to read the name according to the score, from high to low, read a score and name, and the students themselves go up to get it.
In fact, this is inhumane and hurts the self-esteem of students, but he doesn't care about it, he loves to divide people.
As a result, the first scroll I read on this day was Chen Hui, with a full score of 150, Lao Ben turned his head and glanced at Chen Hui outside the door, reluctant and angry: "Don't come in yet?" β
The whole class was smiling, Chen Hui took the test paper from Lao Ben's hand, and said generously: "Thank you, teacher." β
There are many excellent students in the attached high school, but there are only a handful of outstanding students like him.
There are many girls in the class who have a crush on him, and the cardamom is in love, who has no illusions about such an excellent boy.
I don't have that interest in Chen Hui at all, probably because I have been playing together since I was a child, and I have even seen the appearance of the other party's open crotch pants.
The first time I felt that he was different in my heart was during the winter vacation.
The teacher who taught them English was an old English lady, and her homework was very different from that of other teachers, and during the winter vacation that year, the winter vacation homework assigned to them was to arrange a Shakespeare play in groups.
The class was divided into groups according to their seating order, with some groups choosing Romeo and Juliet, some groups choosing A Midsummer Night's Dream, and some groups choosing Hamlet......
Lin Zi and Chen Hui were placed in a group, and their group chose "The Merchant of Venice".
After the Spring Festival, each group has to perform in the class and then score separately.
Rehearsals are usually at Chen Hui's house.
Chen Hui's house is very spacious, and there are no adults at home, only his grandparents.
Lin Zi still remembers the kindness of the two old men. They were shut up in the well-heated study, reading aloud as if no one was around, and Grandma made them snacks in the kitchen and brought them out with plates.
Sometimes it's glutinous rice lotus, sometimes it's osmanthus rice cake, sometimes it's crystal siu mai...... All very tasty.
Because the winter was very dry, and he was diligent in rehearsals in those days, Lin Zi was at Chen Hui's house one day, carrying the lines on his back, and some classmates shouted: "Lin Zi, you have a nosebleed." β
As soon as Lin Zi lowered his head, the bright red blood drops on the sweater in front of the placket, the sweater is snow-white, and it looks particularly shocking when it drops, Lin Zi faints blood, and suddenly the whole person becomes soft there.
In the end, Chen Hui carried himself to the bathroom, and couldn't help but mutter: "You, you have nosebleeds every winter." β
While brushing up his hair indiscriminately, he desperately patted the back of his neck socket with cold water.
Chen Hui's grandmother was helping beside her, wiping the water flowing from Lin Zi's neck with a towel, and looked at Lin Zi with a distressed face while wiping it and said, "Ouch, Xiao Zi is like this, it's really distressing to watch." β
Chen Hui's slightly cool palm slapped the cold water on Lin Zi's neck, and he patted it with a snap, but the blood still kept dripping down until it dripped into the basin.
The faucet was turned on very loudly, and Lin Zi was a little dizzy when he heard the loud sound, only to see a wisp of blood quickly washed away by the water.
After a while, Chen Hui asked, "Why are you still flowing?" β
Grandma blamed him for not being able to hold his breath, and then pinched the acupuncture points on Lin Zi's hand, grandma pinched for a while, and then asked Chen Hui to pinch: "You are stronger, pinch it with a little strength, and it will not flow." β
Chen Hui's hand was very strong, and all of a sudden, he pinched it, and Lin Zi's tears fell straight down.
Grandma blamed him again: "Why are you so vigorous, the girl's hands are tender." β
Chen Hui was on the side, his face flushed because of embarrassment and anxiety.
It was the first time for Lin Zi to see Chen Hui's flushed face, and he didn't care that he was still bleeding from the nose, so he accidentally laughed.
Lin Zi doesn't remember how the bleeding stopped that day, but he only remembers that his nose was stuffed with cotton wool later, and his breathing was blocked, so he could only keep breathing with his mouth.
