"Welcome." A crisp and pleasant female voice sounded, and then a smile appeared.

After taking out a few tissues, he handed the remaining half a pack to Xin Rui, wiped the rain on his face, and brushed his wet hair.

Xin Rui wiped the water stains on her body briefly, walked straight to the milk tea area, turned her head to Zhong Yi who was standing at the door and asked, "Zhong Yi, what flavor of milk tea do you drink?" ”

Zhong Yi straightened his hair, and replied vaguely with a rubber band in his mouth. "Taro-flavored, thank you."

Xin Rui raised her hand and took down two cups of milk tea with taro flavor and red bean flavor on the shelf, walked to the checkout area, and gave them to Zhongyi after paying the money.

Zhong Yi took the two school bags at his feet to the chair in the lounge area and put them away. Tear open the outer layer of the milk tea, skillfully tear the milk tea powder and coconut milk jelly, pour it into the milk tea cup at the same time, turn around and go to the water dispenser to brew, gently stir it with a straw to make the milk tea spread and brew evenly, suck a mouthful, and the tip of the tongue was accidentally burned to some numbness.

Xin Rui held the milk tea cup in both hands, greedily absorbing the warmth of the cup. A layer of white mist rose on the glass in front of him, blurring his vision, and only the sound of rain outside the glass could be heard.

After drinking the milk tea, the rain still had no intention of stopping, Zhong Yi raised his hand to wipe the white mist on the glass, looked out the window, and then turned his head to look at Xin Rui who was sitting beside him. "How much money do you have on you?"

Zhong Yi thought that instead of waiting for the rain to stop, he would buy an umbrella and rush to the bus stop, although he was not sure if there was a bus at the moment.

Xin Rui took out a few coins from his pocket and put them on the table, and said, "Now, there is so much left, the money is used to buy gifts, how much do you have?" ”

Zhong Yi took out the cartoon coin purse from his pocket, opened the zipper and rummaged through it, and Xin Rui's together was only twenty yuan.

And the cheapest umbrella in the store is more than twenty ......

“…… Well, otherwise we'll call home and ask them to pick us up. Xin Rui looked at the change in front of her helplessly.

"It's long overdue."

The two of them each called home, but they were hung up after a few seconds, and when they called again, they were all busy. The two of them looked at each other and put down the mobile phones in their hands in unison, and looked at the layer of white mist on the glass with a sad face.

The bad thing is not that the call is occupied by the family, but how they get home has become a problem, and more serious is that if this ghost weather continues, they will face a very serious problem, overnight!

Convenience stores, although open 24 hours a day, are not an improvement. Zhong Yi thought about it and decided to call Lu Yuchuan, with a glimmer of hope that Lu Yuchuan would come.

After dialing the phone, "Dudu" thought about it a few times, and then heard a hoarse voice from the other end, and Zhong was so excited that he was incoherent. "Lu Yuchuan, are you at home? You're at home right now, right? Hahaha......"

Lu Yuchuan frowned, wondering if he was crazy to hear his voice and be excited like this. But it's still a serious answer. "Well, I'm at home. What's wrong? ”

"Can you pick us up?" Zhongyi's tone weakened a little, trying to make his voice sound pitiful. "I don't even have the money to take a taxi home now, and another typhoon ......"

"Do you think your brain is blown away by the wind? I know why I don't hurry home when the typhoon blows after school, when it's still wandering outside, why doesn't the typhoon blow you away! When Lu Yuchuan heard that he had no money to go home, his temper "Teng" came up and scolded him at the mobile phone.

Zhong Yi kept his hand away from his ear, and with his other hand, he selected various flavors of instant noodles on the shelf, selected Master Kong's braised beef noodles and took them away, and waited for Lu Yuchuan on the other end of the phone to vent his anger, and then put it to his ear.

"Where are you now? With whom? Scolding and scolding, and the anger disappeared, Lu Yuchuan asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Street friends convenience store, the kind that is open 24 hours a day, of course with Xin Rui." Zhong Yi handed the money he was holding to the salesperson, and after paying the money, he walked to the water dispenser with instant noodles.

During the period, he did not forget to thank Lu Yuchuan and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. "Thank you, brother! I'll never give you a little trouble next time, I promise it's the last time. ”

On a rainy night, a military off-road vehicle stopped outside the convenience store, and the dazzling beams of the car lights shone straight ahead, and the vague outline of the road ahead was faintly visible under the shroud of the rainy night.

The left car door opened, and then a folding umbrella was stretched out, Lu Yuchuan walked to the glass door of the convenience store in three steps and stepped on the rain from the road with the umbrella, took back the umbrella and shook the remaining water traces on it, pushed open a glass door and walked straight in.

At the moment when the glass door was about to close, one hand held the doorknob, pushed it open with a slight force, and walked in with a steady pace.

"Welcome...... There were few customers in the evening, and it was raining heavily, and the salesperson was not very enthusiastic at the moment, so he lowered his head and continued to sort out the work in his hand after lazily speaking.

Lu Yuchuan's footsteps paused slightly, and his eyes moved from the camp platform to the right-hand direction, and Zhong Yi and Xin Rui were sitting there safe and sound.

"Hey!" Lu Yuchuan moved his steps slightly towards Zhong Yi, stood next to her, looked down at Zhong Yi who was eating instant noodles, frowned, he couldn't bear to look at him if he was too ugly. "Do you know when you're home!"

Xin Rui raised her head and saw Lu Yuchuan's half-side silhouette hidden in the darkness, her cheeks unconsciously flushed, and her lips hooked. "Yu Chuan, you're coming."

Lu Yuchuan raised his head slightly, looked past Zhong Yi to Xin Rui who was sitting next to her, and raised the corners of his lips. "If I don't come, you won't be unlucky tonight. Let's go, the car is outside. ”

Xu Huaisheng stood silently in the corner of the wall as if he didn't exist from the moment he walked into the store, although it was easy for people to ignore his existence, it was difficult to stop the temperament he exuded.

Zhong Yi bit off the instant noodles in his mouth and muttered. "I have to finish the instant noodles when I go, waste ......" raised his head while speaking, and when he looked at Lu Yuchuan, he saw Xu Huaisheng standing against the wall, Zhong Yi lowered his head, and whispered the second half of the sentence. Shameful wasteful behavior......"

Xin Rui raised his hand to greet Xu Huaisheng, and the other party nodded in return.

Xin Rui picked up the schoolbag on the chair next to her and patted Zhongyi's shoulder. "Don't worry, eat slowly, Yu Chuan and I will wait for you in the car first." After speaking, he pulled Lu Yuchuan's arm and motioned him not to stay here as a light bulb.

After Lu Yuchuan and Xin Rui left, Zhongyi kept the same posture, staring at the instant noodles in the instant noodle bucket and wondering for a long time, whether she would eat it or not?

Xu Huaisheng finally planned not to be a transparent person, so he walked to the table lightly, pulled out a chair and sat down beside Zhong Yi, crossed his hands on his lap, his eyes fell on the glass in front of him, and looked at the few words of English left on it.

There was no movement around him, and he picked up a plastic fork and scooped up the instant noodles and put them in his mouth, eating absent-mindedly. After a while, Zhong Yi really couldn't stand the strange atmosphere between them, put down the plastic fork in his hand and looked at Xu Huaisheng slightly, but his eyes fell on his hands crossed on his legs.

Even if the face is good-looking, even the hands are the same. Zhong Yi couldn't help but think unevenly in his heart.

"Why are you with Lu Yuchuan?"

"I happened to be next to you when you were talking to Yu Chuan."

"Oh, that's right." Zhong Yi nodded, yes, the relationship between the two is extraordinary, and it is not strange to appear together.

"Drink?" Zhong Yi pushed the Coke in his hand in front of Xu Huaisheng, got up slightly and pasted the glass with English written on it, and his eyes were clear, no longer blurring his vision.

Xu Huaisheng shook his head and pushed the cola to Zhong Yi again. The fingertips felt that the bottle was a little cold, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't drink it, be careful of catching a cold." ”

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Zhong Yi lowered his eyes, picked up the Coke as if he was stubborn, pulled the pull ring and poured a few sips, sliding from the esophagus into the stomach, cool.

Zhongyi picked up a tissue and wiped the remaining water marks on his lips, then lowered his head and continued to work hard, fighting against the instant noodles in front of him, and finally lost to Zhongyi.

The two were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was quiet again.

Xu Huaisheng's crossed hands were loosely unfolded, his eyes were a little distracted and he looked at the glass that had been wiped clean with another layer of white mist, raised his hand, and his fingertips were just enough to touch the glass, simply leaving a series of English.

"Favorite." A deep voice sounded in the quiet store, drifting into the ears of Zhong Yi. “…… I was so abrupt during the day that I didn't take into account your mood at the time, so I'm sorry. ”

Zhong Yi looked at Xu Huaisheng slightly sideways through the heat rising from the bubble noodles, and the white mist on the glass blurred Xu Huaisheng's appearance and blurred the background behind him.

"I didn't take it to heart, and you don't have to blame yourself."

When he said this, Zhong Yi realized how hypocritical he was!

Then, like a boy, he drank the small half bottle of Coke with his head up, and threw the instant noodles with only soup left into the trash can at his feet.

Zhong Yi pushed the chair back slightly, stood up and walked to the door to open the glass door, and poured a breath of cold air into his stomach unexpectedly, and the whole person bent down in front of the glass door and coughed wildly.

"Are you alright? See, you don't want to drink Coke. Xu Huaisheng walked up to Zhongyi's side and patted Zhongyi's back softly to help her relieve her cough.

After coughing for a while, my stomach felt a little more comfortable, I said thank you, raised my feet and walked out of the convenience store, and saw a military off-road vehicle parked outside the door, the headlights of the car looked particularly abrupt in the dark night, and a little bright and dazzling.

Xu Huaisheng just opened the umbrella, raised his hands and put them flat on top of his head, walked to the right side of the car door with standing water, opened the car door and got into the car.

After Xu Huaisheng got into the car, he sat in the back row, turned his head and looked out the window of the car without saying a word.

The car started, Lu Yuchuan sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned his head and looked at the two of them who were all worried, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Christmas is coming, are there any arrangements?" ”

Zhong Yi didn't say a word, listening to Xin Rui and Lu Yuchuan excitedly discussing where to go for Christmas, so he coldly poured cold water on them. "Don't fantasize, Christmas Day happens to be Monday, and I'm so busy!"

"You have the right to remain silent, but every word that follows will bring you personal safety." Xin Rui glared at Zhong Yi angrily and threatened viciously.
