Chapter Twenty-Three: It's Just You
When Torrential Rain returned to the rented alley, he found that his luggage had been packed together and thrown in the middle of the courtyard.
After the first rumor hit, Wu Wenzhi began to avoid her, intentionally or unintentionally. And Chen Mo regarded her as a shame for a girl at all, and directly suggested to the landlady to get rid of her.
But the landlady looked left and right, and didn't think that the rain was the kind of person they said, and didn't pay too much attention to it.
But this time. I don't know who presented the old news of Rushing Rain to the landlord, so that she learned that staying here will only cause trouble - who knows which day, the murderer will come to the door when he is released from prison.
I just told Zhai Yi that as long as she pays the rent on time, this is a small world that belongs to her. In less than a day, reality had already given her a hot slap in the face.
Since it is a rented heaven and earth, how can it come from for a long time?
But it's already dark, where can she go?
"Grandma......" The torrential rain held back the tears that welled up and went to pat the window of the landlady.
The old lady put her head out of the window, waved her hand as if she were chasing flies, and said in her local dialect, "Go away." It's the middle of the month, and it's supposed to be next month's rent. But I won't rent the house, I'll refund half of the money to you, wrap it in newspaper and put it in that plastic bag, I won't forget the water and electricity with you, you can go. Come on! ”
With that, the landlady turned her back and walked inside.
No matter how much Rushing Rain called her, even if she cried later, she didn't have extra sympathy for her.
The torrential rain finally calmed down after half an hour. She took what little possessions she had, and when she got out of the alley, she walked aimlessly down the road.
Until she reached a flyover, she stopped.
Instead of continuing on, she sat down on a half-high stone pillar on the bank of the riverbank. There is a remnant of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
At night, the river is full of light, and there are tall boats carrying tourists who come and go.
The torrential rain shines through the lights on the ship, and you can clearly see the tourists inside. There was a mother holding a little child, and the little one reached for the tassels on her clothes.
Everybody has a mom. All have a home.
And she didn't.
Even if she died, who would care about her? She doesn't even have a relative who will never leave her. All who loved her died.
She suddenly thought, so be it. She wanted to just jump.
Today's events were the last straw that broke her back.
Autumn is strong, the sound of oars and lights, although it is not a good day, but it can be regarded as a beautiful scenery. Rushing rain thought, let's choose today.
She walked towards the river and slowly closed her eyes. A cold wind blew, making her feel smart.
Die? Why should I die? I didn't do anything wrong.
In a trance, the torrential rain almost slipped and fell into the water. She thought of the suffocation of drowning. I also thought of it, Chen Yuyao.
She sat on the wetland by the embankment, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and dialed a number that she had already known by heart with her mobile phone.
"Tick...... "Tick ......" phone went through, rang for a while, and was picked up.
"Hello?" What came from his ears was Chen Yuyao's lazy voice.
"Chen Yuyao, I'm ......" Rushing Yu only called out his name, her nose was sour, and then tears broke down her eyes, and she finally broke down and cried. The forbearance, grievances, resentment, shame, and pretense of being strong in these days all burst the embankment at this moment and burst out like a torrent.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you, tell me. Chen Yuyao's voice was a little flustered, "Where are you now, Xiaoyu?" ”
She struggled to stop her crying, sobbing, "How do you know it's me?" ”
"I only told you this mobile phone number."
A warm current poured into the heart of the torrential rain, and his lips were about to speak, but he heard a young girl's voice faintly coming from the earpiece: "Who is she?" Chen Yuyao, where are you going? Don't leave...... Chen Yuyao, you bastard......"
"Where are you?" Chen Yuyao's voice became clear again.
Torrential rain bit her lip, "I'm in Panmen, watching the night view." ”
Chen Yuyao sneered, as if he couldn't get angry, and then he said in a commanding tone: "You just stand there and don't move until I appear." ”
When Chen Yuyao found her, the tears of the torrential rain had dried.
Even a moment before the meeting, she rubbed her cheeks and re-tied her ponytail.
Chen Yuyao looked at the luggage beside her, and half of the rice cooker was exposed in a hastily sealed plastic bag. "...... are you?" Before the words "running away from home" could be asked, Torrential Rain lowered his head and wrenched his hands together.
"I was kicked out by my landlord."
"You're not with your father...... At that time, I heard that you were picked up by your biological father. Chen Yuyao was surprised.
When he returned during the winter vacation that year, he learned of the tragedy that happened at the Torrential Rain's house. It's not that he didn't ask about the whereabouts of the torrential rain, but after learning this answer, he gave up.
Xiaoyu, who returned to his biological father's side, how are you doing? He often thinks about the little girl who accompanied him through the most difficult days. Five years is not a short time. What's more, in the green years, five years can basically melt a person into the blood, and you can't forget it forever.
She has always meant something special to him.
Rushing rain bowed his head, "During the summer vacation, I fought an abandonment lawsuit with him...... I won, but I don't have a home anymore. ”
Chen Yuyao was even more surprised, "Why?" ”
"He wanted me to forgive someone, and I wouldn't." Rushing Yu felt embarrassed, but the other party was Chen Yuyao, she took a breath, and said in a calm tone: "He wants me to forgive his stepwife's son, he ...... He wanted to bully me......"
Chen Yuyao's eyes were red and his fists were clenched-what kind of days has Xiaoyu lived all these years?
"I've been careful...... Every night, the door is closed, and the pillow is also placed under the ...... He put the knife away, but one day he suddenly came back...... "Torrential rain doesn't want to say any more."
Chen Yuyao didn't let her continue, he held the torrential rain in his arms and worked hard.
"No one will bully you anymore." His tone was calm and firm, "I promise you. ”
Chen Yuyao drove her to a neighborhood.
This neighborhood is not far from the city No. 1 Middle School. After getting out of the car, Chen Yuyao helped her carry all her things and walked forward, and Rushing Yu didn't ask a word, and quietly followed him.
"The lease is for two years." After they got on the elevator, Chen Yuyao took out the key and opened the door, and the rain saw that it was a three-bedroom and two-living room room, and the area was not small.
"You can stay here in peace." Chen Yuyao put down his things, "Finish the college entrance examination well." ”
"I have a question...... "Torrential Rain stood in front of the couch but didn't sit down, "how much is the rent here?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this." Chen Yuyao said.
"I, I don't want to owe ......"
"Don't want to owe me anything?" Chen Yuyao said unceremoniously, "I already owe favors...... What do you think about your head every day? I told you when I was a child, fixed pulley and movable pulley - you can actually fail the physics exam in the second year of high school? ”
"High School Physics...... It's not just fixed pulleys and movable pulleys. Rushing Rain said timidly. After all, it was a lack of confidence, and the voice gradually became quieter.
"I'll find you a one-on-one physics tutor when I go back. You quickly fill in the gaps and raise the score. …… What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? ”
He thought Rush would say something grateful or refused, but she didn't. She just looked at him in a daze, and said sincerely: "I think your current appearance is not only 'Brother Yu Yao', but also 'Father Yu Yao'." ”
Chen Yuyao's expression was quite unnatural, coughed, and continued to put on a straight face: "You'd better retake the top ten in school, so that you can have hope of going to the top ten." ”
Rushing Rain nodded obediently. Then he returned to the topic that had just been put on hold: "How much is the rent a month?" ”
Chen Yuyao looked at her, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I have rented this house in its entirety, and now I will officially rent you a room." You pay me for one room, and I don't plan to sublet the others. Do you understand? ”
"Understood." Torrential rain said.
Chen Yuyao walked to the balcony and made a phone call.
After the call, he walked back: "Someone will bring the rental contract in a moment." ”
Torrential Rain nodded.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Chen Yuyao went to open the door, and Rushing Rain was making the bed at that time, and when she walked out of the room, the person had already left.
Chen Yuyao directly turned the contract to the last page, "Come and sign." ”
"How much is the rent?" Rushing Rain asked.
Chen Yuyao didn't answer, and took the signature pen and motioned for her to come and sit down.
Rushing Rain paused for a moment, then walked over, took the pen and signed his name.
If in this world, even Chen Yuyao can't believe it, there is no point in her life.
Chen Yuyao put away the contract, "Your monthly rent is 600 yuan, and I will be given it after graduation." ”
Rushing Yu watched his every move intently, thinking that she would be 18 years old when she graduated, and she would return the principal to Chen Yuyao with interest at that time.
At that time, she no longer owes Chen Yuyao money, as for the affection owed to him...... She buried her head down, her face flushed, and there was a secret joy.
Chen Yuyao straightened up, and hurriedly followed: "You want to go?" ”
"I need to go back to H City." It was inconvenient for him to stay here, so Chen Yuyao casually made up a reason.
Rushing Rain thought that he was already a senior this year. must have been busy with many matters related to graduation, so he didn't say anything more and silently sent him out.
The sun rises as usual.
Early the next morning, torrential rain woke up in the bed of the new residence.
She opened the curtains and looked at the ginkgo trees that were losing their leaves outside, and after a while, she began to methodically carry out the tasks after waking up in the morning. When I packed my schoolbag and went out, I found an envelope with 20,000 yuan inside.
It should have been given by Chen Yuyao. The rain had been on it for a long time, and she knew she could never ask for this excess gift again.
If people are too greedy, they will be backlashed.
When she arrived at the school, she found that everything had changed dramatically overnight.
A female classmate who had embarrassed her in front of her actually came over, said "congratulations" to her, and then apologized: "I used to have a lot of misunderstandings about you, but now they have been clarified." Come on. ”
Torrential rain was stunned in his seat.
Zhang Xiaomad walked over and lowered his voice to explain her confusion: "You don't know yet, those messy posts are gone, and the report of the original post was withdrawn overnight." The school officially made a statement and issued a clarification post, including your previous false rumors......
Now everyone knows what happened to your two lawsuits. So the rumor has been confirmed to be a rumor. Also, Zhai Yi and Gu Nianzhu, as well as the student president, are all talking for you. They said that they would go to school with you in junior high school, and she said that she was your tablemate in the third graduating class of junior high school, and they could prove who you were. ”
The rumors that have plagued her for so long and tormented her, she has made so many defenses and no one listened, and now the dark clouds have cleared overnight.
The many emotions that emerged in Rushing Rain's heart overpowered that trace of relief.
Zhang Xiaomad patted her on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Rushing rain suddenly understood, it was Chen Yuyao. It's all him.
He is such a person, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he has not been able to enter his world, and once he has successfully entered his realm, he will do everything in his power to take care of you.
A warmth emanated from the bottom of my heart and traveled all over my body.
"Thank you." Torrential rain spoke.
Zhang Xiaomad turned back inexplicably.
Torrential Rain stood up, "Thank you, at that time, and treat me as always." ”
Torrential Rain is not a sensational person. Zhang Xiaomad didn't expect that she would say such a thing when she looked around.
It's not surprising to think about it, though.
Zhang Xiaomad turned his head and waved his hand lazily, "Thank you, I said it, you are my ideal type." ”
