Chapter XII
A moist drop of rain fell on Cheng Jiyun's sleeping face, which frightened him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the raindrops constantly dripping from the gray sky.
"Damn! It's raining! β
He got up from the ground, and he and Lin Yan slept outside last night, only Sunny's little man curled up in the back seat of the car, just right.
Lin Yan was also woken up by the raindrops, got up from the ground, patted his body, and then picked up the bag that was padded underneath and prepared to return to the car.
As soon as they sat down in the car, the rain suddenly fell heavily, and the windows were blurred.
Lin Yan pressed the switch, and the wiper blades cleaned the glass rhythmically. Cheng Jiyun took a look at the display on the tablet, and the battery was 5%.
"What should I do?" He asked.
"There's no hurry." Lin Yan looked at the rain outside the car window and said, "The shower will stop soon." β
"Huh." Cheng Jiyun smiled crookedly as always, "Now it's a weather forecaster?" β
"I grew up in Helong Township, where it rains a lot, and I just watched too much." Lin Yan replied lightly.
"And what if this rain keeps falling?" Cheng Jiyun seemed to like to raise the bar with him, "Are we going to spend a day here?" β
Lin Yan glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I have nothing to do." β
Cheng Jiyun was not convinced: "I'm not in a hurry. β
So the two were in a stalemate in the car for a while, Cheng Jiyun couldn't bear the loneliness the most, while the little girl hadn't woken up yet, he just wanted to say a few normal conversations with normal people.
"Have you always been like this?" He asked Lin Yan.
"What?"
"It's cold on the surface, but it's actually ...... I think you're very welcoming. Cheng Jiyun smiled evilly.
"Passion?" Lin Yan disagreed, "I don't think this word is suitable for me. β
"How not?" Cheng Jiyun played tricks, "Are you willing to accompany me to the fourth prison, and you are also willing to accompany me to the immunization zone, isn't it enthusiasm?" β
Lin Yan glanced out the window: "I said, I'm fine anyway, just take a walk." β
"Then why didn't you go with the others before?" Cheng Jiyun smiled proudly, "You've been here for so long, are you just waiting for me?" β
Lin Yan tilted his head towards him, frowning at the man who was laughing ruffian: "Waiting for you?" I'm really blind, I'm a rookie with you to mess around with the end of the world. β
"What rookie?" Cheng Jiyun was not convinced, "I admit that I don't know as much as you, it's not because I've been isolated from the world for so many years!" You have to look at my heart, how sincere! How real! Cheng Jiyun pointed to his chest, "I don't have anything, I'm just a passionate heart, righteous and angry!" Got it? This is the rarest quality now! β
"Huh." Lin Yan held his forehead and laughed, shaking his head, he really couldn't stand him.
"What are you laughing at, really!"
"Hee-hee-hee." I only heard a burst of laughter from the back seat, which made Cheng Jiyun creepy, and when he turned around, he saw that Sunny was still with his eyes closed, and he smirked over there.
"Look." Cheng Jiyun pointed to her head in a low voice, "I suspect she ......"
Lin Yan glanced at him: "It's just a little girl." β
"Little girl?" Cheng Jiyun leaned into his ear and said, "She said she was eighteen years old, do you believe it?" β
Lin Yan also glanced back at her and did not answer.
"Look, you don't believe it, do you?"
"I believe it." didn't expect Lin Yan to answer him like this, and Cheng Jiyun was also surprised.
"Can't you see she's fourteen or fifteen?"
"You won't be here if you're not eighteen." Lin Yan replied to him lightly.
"What?" Cheng Jiyun didn't understand? "It's the end of the world, I have no parents at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and there are a lot of wanderers alone!"
"Don't you understand?" Lin Yan was a little impatient, "If you are under the age of eighteen, you can't participate." β
"Involvement? What the heck? The more Cheng Jiyun listened, the more confused he became, and just when he wanted to continue asking, a hand suddenly put on his shoulder, which frightened him, "Wow! β
"Hee-hee-hee." Sunny covered his mouth and laughed, "Are you talking badly about me?" Are you weak-hearted? β
"What a ghost!" Cheng Jiyun hurriedly took off her hand.
Sunny looked at the dense raindrops on the car window and exclaimed happily, "Ah! It's raining! β
"Hmm."
"Great! It's time to wash your face! Sunny took off his coat and left only a vest, then opened the car door and ran out.
"Hey!"
Cheng Jiyun didn't stop her, but saw that she had happily washed herself in the heavy rain, letting the rain hang from the top of her head, she rubbed her hair and wiped her face, very comfortable. It's just that her thin figure, set off by the thin vest, looks even more petite. Only the upturned buttocks make people feel a sense of line.
Cheng Jiyun rubbed his eyes, there was nothing to see, and then he peeked at Lin Yan, he wouldn't pay attention to this little girl's wanton behavior in the rain.
"Look, I say, it's not a good brain." Cheng Jiyun muttered.
Lin Yan disagreed: "Then what else do you want?" Give you a bathroom, a whole bathtub? β
"Haha." Cheng Jiyun laughed happily, "It's best to soak in the whole bathhouse with you!" β
"Get out!" Lin Yan lowered the brim of his hat, indicating that he didn't want to talk to him.
Cheng Jiyun was still snickering to himself, Sunny opened the car door, came in wet, and took out the blanket from his bag to dry himself.
"It's so comfortable!" She said, "Aren't you going to wash?" β
"Don't go!" As soon as Cheng Jiyun turned around, he happened to see Sunny lifting his vest and about to take it off, "Damn, what are you doing?" He quickly pinned his head over and covered it with his hands.
Sunny dragged it off disapprovingly and changed his clothes in the back seat of the car: "My clothes are wet, I'll change them!" β
"Don't catch a cold! So cool! Cheng Jiyun didn't dare to look back, but he still had to say a few more words.
"Hee-hee, no." Sunny happily put on the T-shirt that was turned out of her bag, this dress was all picked up before, it was very large, and it made her look even thinner, "I know you care about me." β
"Concerned about." Cheng Jiyun did not admit it.
"Hee-hee. This rain is nothing, compared to the water of Cheongdam Lake, it is called cool! Sunny finally changed his clothes, patted Lin Yan on the shoulder by the way, and asked, "Qingtan Lake, have you been swimming?" It's cool even in summer! β
Lin Yan just lowered his head and didn't answer her. Then he turned his head out the window: "The rain seems to be a little lighter." β
Cheng Jiyun looked at it and seemed to be.
"Look! Just now the rain told you to wash, don't go, it won't rain in the future, see how you stink! Sunny muttered in the back seat, took out two oranges from his bag and handed them to the front, "Eat?" β
Cheng Jiyun frowned after glancing: "Don't eat!" β
Lin Yan took one, opened the skin and sent it to his mouth, and then put the orange peel in front of the car, and faintly, some fragrance floated out.
"You'll be hungry if you don't eat." Sunny was still chewing oranges in his mouth, not forgetting to remind him.
Cheng Jiyun didn't think so: "I didn't think I would be hungry." β
"Almost, let's go." Lin Yan started the car, but the car could only move slowly. There was no sunshine, and with the rain, it was even more slow.
"Is this car going to work?" Cheng Jiyun looked at the screen, the power display was still not powerful, but ...... What the hell is the time 8:31:54?
He glanced back at Sunny, who was also looking at him, grinning.
"Didn't you say you didn't have time? I'll set one for you, and it's about the same time, right? She said, smiling and narrowing her eyes.
Cheng Jiyun could only pout his lips and sit quietly in his seat. The car slowly shifted back to the road from the side of the road and began to snail.
"There is no time in this world, the sunrise is day and the sunset is night, aren't people in the past used to distinguish time by day and night?" Sunny muttered alone, "Time is meant to bind people, stipulating the three meals that must be completed in the morning, noon, and afternoon, and the things that must be done. β
Cheng Jiyun listened silently, and there was no difference in her words.
"Now, there is no constraint and time, and you can do whatever you want, isn't it good?" She leaned over to Cheng Jiyun's side and looked at him, "Without the concept of time, there are infinite possibilities left." β
Although Cheng Jiyun agreed, he didn't intend to admit it.
Ordinary mentally ill people are prone to "truth" in their mouths, and paranoid people believe in the theory they say, but Cheng Jiyun listens to it and does it is another matter.
"I'm not you." He replied to Sunny, "You're still young, you still have a lot of time, I'm old, who knows how much time I've wasted, it's not how much time I want now, but how I want to catch up with the previous time." β
"Why?"
"Why?" Cheng Jiyun snorted, "Tell you why, do you understand?" β
"How could I not understand, it's just that you don't want to say it." Sunny smiled, "Are you trying to find your girlfriend?" β
Cheng Jiyun turned his head and glared at her.
"Hee-hee." Sunny laughed, "After all these years, are you sure you can still find her?" β
Cheng Jiyun disagreed: "How is it impossible? Even if my hair is gray, I'm going to find her. β
"So what, if you find her?"
"How?" Cheng Jiyun shook his head, "It's nothing, I just want to see her." β
Sunny shrugged his shoulders and leaned back into the back of the seat, playing with his fingers in boredom. Cheng Jiyun looked back at her, as if she was unhappy.
"Anyway, don't ask so much in the future, you little girl doesn't understand this."
Cheng Jiyun glanced at Lin Yan by the way when he turned around, he was driving seriously on the surface, but in fact, he was already thinking a lot. Cheng Jiyun has seen many people in the fourth prison, and it is not difficult to see what Lin Yan is thinking.
"What? Do you want to meet your girlfriend too? Cheng Jiyun deliberately quipped.
Lin Yan squinted at him: "No." β
"No?"
"I don't have a girlfriend." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the car to a halt.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Jiyun thought that he had provoked him again, so he walked away.
"You can do it." After Lin Yan finished speaking, he opened the car door, walked to the passenger seat, and opened Cheng Jiyun's door.
"Why?" Cheng Jiyun moved from one side to the other, "It's still raining, what should I change?" β
"You don't drive, it's too long-winded." Lin Yan sat in the passenger seat, "I'm tired of driving and want to sleep for a while." With that, he lowered the brim of his hat, leaned back in his chair, and prepared for bed.
"You ......," Cheng Jiyun thought, "Do I have any ...... about you?"
Lin Yan turned sideways and turned his back to him.
"Okay, okay." Cheng Jiyun had no choice but to give up and open it himself. After starting the car, Sunny can be seen pouting from the rearview mirror. He didn't understand, what happened to him, he offended two people at once?
But I was very wronged, and I didn't say anything.
Forget it, forget it.
Lin Yan leaned on the seat and didn't really want to sleep, but just looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window, and the scenes shook in front of him, accompanied by the traces of raindrops sliding down, like every rain he had seen in the past.
"Cheongdam Lake, have you ever swam it? It's cool even in summer! β
Sunny's words were still in his ears, and he heard them clearly.
"Mingyou, what about He Qing? Didn't she come? "One day in the summer, when Lin Yan ran to Qingtan Lake, Mingyou was the only one there.
"I didn't call her." Mingyou replied.
"Then what, it's rare that you just want to see me alone."
Lin Yan laughed, and in his memory, he always had a sunny smile on his face at that time, which was very warm.
"I want to compare myself to you." And Mingyou's expression is always persistent.
"Than what?" Lin Yan didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood, "Swimming! You guy, you seem to have a purpose! β
Mingyou lowered his head embarrassedly, but raised it stubbornly: "Is it better than that?" β
Lin Yan looked at his serious appearance, smiled and shook his head: "Okay, okay!" β
He knew very well in his heart that Mingyou just wanted to give himself enough courage to confess to He Qing. So, from the beginning he was ready to give up.
"Are you ready?" Mingyou had already taken off his shirt and was ready to dive.
"Okay."
"Readyβjump!"
The two men jumped into the water and swam freely in the cool waters.
Compared with the competition, Lin Yan hopes that this is just a frolic, joyful and dripping. He doesn't care how the game wins, all he cares about is how long the friendship between the three of them can go......
Just as the lake is much bigger and farther than they see.
Lin Yan leaned to the side and sighed secretly. The raindrops on the car window have gradually dispersed with the wind, just like the people in the past......
Cheng Jiyun drove on the uninhabited highway, the raindrops along the way began to become smaller, the sky became brighter, and the buildings in front of them began to appear in front of them.
In a moment a huge network of lines appeared before them, erected towering on both sides of the road, and these towers were densely scattered in this desolate land, like countless walking giants, oppressing them. The sky high above has begun to clear up the clouds, revealing patches of mottled blue.
I don't know how long I drove until all the clouds in the sky cleared, and the golden sunlight shone on the earth for the first time, spreading in front of the car.
Cheng Jiyun felt the oppression of the transmission line tower next to him, but he was pleasantly surprised by the presence of the sun. At this moment, my heart is full of mixed feelings.
The car gradually accelerated as if it had gained secondary energy, and for the first time felt the oncoming wind so strong.
At this moment, facing the straight road, Cheng Jiyun had the feeling of piloting an airplane, as if he was about to rush into the sky......
"Comfortable!"
