Chapter 17: Heavy Rain, Gentleman

It is said that children without umbrellas must run hard, and those who say this must be met with light rain.

If anyone encounters a heavy rain like this – the raindrops pouring down like water – they will stop and wait for the rain to stop or get lighter, unless they have an umbrella, and they will hesitate to go out.

Perhaps it was raining, and the sky instantly darkened and entered the night. The neon lights of the city lit up, and the vehicles passing in front of Yan Qing splashed on her. She didn't react at all, because no matter what she did, she had to wait until she went back to school and washed herself.

She shivered from the cold wind blowing in her face, and she glanced at the corner of the wall not far to her right, and walked towards it in a ball.

A red jeep honked behind her, and Yan Qing hurried to the wall, worried that the car would splash dirty water on her the moment it drove by.

The jeep seemed to be showing off, and shouted again beside her, Yan Qing lowered his head and walked faster, and the jeep was also strange, and actually stopped.

Yan Qing bent over and clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the jeep drove straight in front of her, if there were no steps, he would definitely drive up.

Yan Qing looked at who was in the car through the wipers that kept turning in front of the car? Looking at the person sitting on the cab in a daze, it seems to be Gao Yuan.

'Drop. He honked again, and Yan Qing was stunned.

He motioned for Yanqing to get into the car, Yanqing couldn't believe it was such a coincidence? He actually told himself to get in the car? Looking back and forth, left and right, looking at himself suspiciously, he nodded.

Yan Qing looked at the car again, there was no one else except Gao Yuan, if the beautiful woman was also in the car, Yan Qing would rather be cold than get into the car.

"Come up." Before she got closer, Gao Yuan had already opened the car door for her.

"Really...... Coincidentally, you're here too. Get into the car and say carefully.

"Yes, what a coincidence, we encountered it again, such a heavy rain, why did you go out without an umbrella?"

"I didn't look at the weather forecast."

The car behind was blocked, and the horn honked impatiently.

"Where are you going? I'll send you. ”

"I'll go back to school."

"Fasten your seatbelts."

Gao Yuan stepped on the accelerator, Yanqing fastened his seatbelt and thought, 'How could he touch me?' Did it just happen by chance? Or does he know I'm working part-time here? Did he find out that I was secretly following him this afternoon? Then wouldn't I be ugly in front of him' Thinking of this, Yanqing's heart was about to jump out. She asked in a panic, "You... How did you notice me? ”

"I saw a figure with a back height and body shape that looked a little like you, but I didn't expect it to be you when I looked closer." Gao Yuan's words revealed that he had just seen her, and she was relieved that her careful thoughts had not been discovered.

Gao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Yan Qing. "Why are you wearing so little? Look at you just curled up in a ball, and you don't wear much when you go out. ”

"I didn't expect it to rain so heavily when it suddenly cooled down."

Yan Qing's face was pale after being frozen, and he asked, "Is it still cold?" There are clothes in the back seat that you take and put on first. ”

Looking at the back seat of the Qing Dynasty, there was a row of neatly packaged delicate bags, all of which looked like they had just been bought.

Yan Qing turned his head and didn't take his clothes, Gao Yuan asked, "Why don't you wear them?" The bags on the right are all women's clothes, just bought, you can wear them with confidence. ”

"It's because I just bought it, so I can't wear it, it's okay, I'm not cold." Yan Qing smiled.

"It's not cold, you have goosebumps on your arms."

Yan Qing touched his hands, and sure enough, the skin epidermis had a layer of pimples because of the cold.

"You bring that white bag." Gao Yuan commanded, and Yan Qing honestly took the bag.

"Get the clothes out there." Gao Yuan said this, and Yan Qing did it.

It is a khaki women's trench coat with a good texture and a smooth and smooth material to the touch.

"Give." Yan Qing handed the clothes to Gao Yuan.

"What are you doing for me, you put it on."

Yan Qing glanced at the price on the label of the clothes - 7999. She hurriedly stuffed her clothes into the bag.

"What, why did I tell you to put it on and put it back on?"

"The clothes are too expensive for me to wear." Yan Qing put the clothes back in their place.

"You have to listen to me now and put your clothes on. Otherwise......"

"Or what?" Yan Qing asked funny.

"Or else...... Be careful with the injuries on your hands, and don't come to me if you have elbow pain in the future. ”

Gao Yuan was like a child, Yan Qing looked at him and felt funny, these clothes reminded her of the woman who had gone shopping with Gao Yuan in the afternoon. She jokingly said, "I don't dare to wear it, if your girlfriend knows that the clothes you bought for her are worn by other girls, she will definitely be angry." ”

"I don't have a girlfriend, these clothes are my mother's."

"Your mother?" Yan Qing couldn't believe that the woman who looked so young could be Gao Yuan's mother.

"Yes, she has a lot of clothes at home, and she doesn't necessarily wear them when she buys them, and she makes the best use of them for you now."

"You're going to pick out clothes for your mom?"

"Where will I pick clothes, we came together in the afternoon, and a girlfriend just made a call when she knew that she had returned to China, and the two of them went to another shopping mall to sweep the goods."

"Returning home? Don't you live in the country? ”

"My dad was in China, but when I was 11 years old, my mom immigrated to the U.S. alone."

"You're coming back from the United States?" Yan Qing seemed to suddenly understand something, but he didn't seem to know anything.

"Just came back this summer."

"So, you didn't have the same military training as the freshmen at school?"

"I was admitted to the school as an international student, enrolled late, and did not participate in military training."

"When you came back from abroad, how did you choose the history department?"

"I have been interested in Chinese history since I was a child, and after I went to the United States, I received a Western education.

"You went back to China because you wanted to study history?"

Gao Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "There is a partly reason, but not only because of this. ”

"You are so blessed that you have traveled so far since you were a child, and you are still free to choose what you want to do." I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

Speaking of these experiences, Gao Yuan didn't seem to be happy. "Do you know why my mom and I went to the United States?"

"Why?"

"Because my parents divorced when I was 11 years old, my dad always loved to drink when he was young, and when he got drunk, he abused my mom, and sometimes even I didn't let go. I vividly remember one time when my mom was beaten and bloody, I ran over to my dad and bit his hand hard, but he threw me a few meters away with his backhand and I fell to the ground and fainted. Yan Qing listened to him quietly: "My mother can tolerate my father's absurdity in order to give me a complete home, but she can't watch my father attack me, so she divorced my father and took me to the United States alone. Later, my dad realized his mistakes and changed his ways, and the business became bigger and bigger to compensate us mother and son, but my mother couldn't forgive him, and then my mom met my stepfather, and my dad also restarted the family. After all these years, I still can't forget the hurt my dad caused me. ”

"At least...... You still have a father, and I don't even have the right to call him father anymore. ”

Gao Yuan suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the two leaned forward with the harsh friction sound, fortunately they both wore seat belts.

The rain was dripping on the car, Gao Yuan looked at Yan Qing and opened his mouth, wanting to ask something but not asking.

He took out the coat he had just put on Yan Qing and started the car.

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's nothing, I'm used to it, my dad has been dead for three years."

"How did he die?"

"The car accident, it rained as hard that day as it was today, and the car drove too fast on the highway and rushed out of the guardrail. The intensive care unit was spent for more than 10 days, and in the end, he was not rescued. ”

"You... You okay? ”

Yan Qing smiled at Gao Yuan, covering up the sadness in her heart. "I'm fine, I can eat, drink and sleep."

"You're the strongest and most optimistic girl I've ever met."

This sudden evaluation surprised Yanqing, no one has ever said that she is a strong and optimistic person, even she herself does not think that she is an optimistic person, and she always thinks about bad things. Now it's probably because she behaves differently in front of Takato, and she likes this kind of positive evaluation, especially from Gao Yuan's mouth.

She raised the smile on the corner of her mouth: "Yes, you see that I don't have a chance to call my father, you won't blame your father for the mistakes he made back then, at least he is still by your side, and he can still give you care and care, right?" ”

Gao Yuan looked at her and nodded. Yan Qing felt that she had never smiled so well, the sense of accomplishment that persuaded others, and the strong optimism of being recognized. In the future, she wants to be a stronger person.

"I didn't expect you to go through so much."

"I don't have much experience, you make me admire, I have lived abroad since I was a child, and I must have seen a lot of things."

"There are many places abroad that are different from China, and I suggest you go and see them when you have time."

Yan Qing lowered his head and showed a sad look.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Actually, I am working part-time in that mall today, and the conditions of my family are not good, so far I have never even taken a plane, let alone going abroad."

This seems to have touched a sensitive nerve of Yanqing again. Gao Yuan asked cautiously: "That...... Do you want to know something about abroad? I've been to the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and other countries in Europe, and if you want to know, I can tell you. ”

"Okay, really?" Yan Qing's eyes immediately lit up.

The car turned a corner and arrived at the school. "Of course it's true, do you have time tomorrow?"

"I'm going to have a part-time job tomorrow too."

"Then wait until you get off work, and I'll pick you up at the mall tomorrow after you get off work."

The car stopped at the school gate, and Yan Qing planned to take off his clothes and return him.

"Don't take it off, let's go in cold outside."

Yan Qing didn't refuse, she thought that she would meet tomorrow anyway, so she would return him tomorrow.

Gao Yuan drove away.

"Oops." She suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment with her senior Liu Wei after work tomorrow, what should she do......
