We strode ashore. We were soaked. Hao Junqi's long hair was divided into several locks and stuck to her neck. I don't know when the rain stopped, but the wind was still very strong. The river breeze blew, and I couldn't help but shudder. Then I sneezed twice in a row. Hao Junqi sneezed. I think we've all caught a cold. After all, we have been soaked in water for too long.

We walked to the spot where I had dived, picked up the umbrella and bag I had thrown out, and walked up the embankment. Hao Junqi's umbrella has been swallowed up by the flood.

We were left behind by the surging river.

We looked at each other and laughed at the same time. The wet clothes clinging to the body, printed in the color of our underwear, are really funny.

"What do we do now? We didn't go to the other side. Hao Junqi said.

"Let's not think about anything else just yet. We need to find a place to wring out the clothes on our bodies. Otherwise we'll catch a cold. I said.

The first priority is to find a way to dry the wet clothes, and the first thing to do is to wring the clothes out. Crossing to the other side of the river is already a luxury.

"There's no one here at this time, right?" Hao Junqi asked.

"I'll keep it for you."

"You have to keep it."

"Are you worried about your brother?"

Hao Junqi turned behind a clump of trees. I don't know why many mulberry trees are planted on the embankment, and the mulberry leaves are luxuriant. There are also some fir trees, most of these fir trees are relatively thick, they look more than ten years old, they can be used as beams, some thick, and even house columns. There is also a kind of "wood" tree, the trunk is crooked, and in autumn, the fruit of a tree is not much bigger than a soybean, and it is strange that someone goes to the countryside to buy this fruit.

Although the rain has stopped, I can see that the water is still rising. The turf tans at the joints of the boardwalk in front had been flooded. The water seems to be more ferocious. I suddenly couldn't believe that Hao Junqi and I had struggled in such a fierce river.

Hao Junqi walked out from behind the bushes. She ran her hair through her hands as she walked towards me. Her clothes were wrung out and no longer clinging to her body.

"Waited, huh?"

"It's fine." I sneezed.

"Hurry up."

"You're going to keep it for me." I said, "If someone has to rob her, let her go." ”

"Do your daydreams go, I don't agree." Hao Junqi said with a smile.

After wringing out the clothes, we discussed where to go. On this side of the Dongmen River, there is not a single family. All the villages are on the other side of the river. Come to think of it, we had to go back to the abandoned hydropower station.

At least the bits and pieces we didn't finish were left there. At least it's sheltered from the elements. Although the rumbling sound of running water annoyed us and forced us to expand the decibel level when communicating.

At the moment, it's our best place to go.

When we climbed back up the dam, we shivered with the oncoming mountain wind, blowing away the heat emitted by walking. We couldn't help but shrink back.

It is strange to us that so much of the water around the reservoir is concentrated in the reservoir, and the water in the reservoir does not overflow the dam. It seems that the flood discharge equipment is indeed quite scientific.

We hid in a hydroelectric power station. The two plastic bags we had in bits and pieces were still lying on the ground. The bits and pieces of boxes or bags we've eaten are all over the place. I leaned over to pick up the plastic bag.

Hao Junqi suddenly hugged me from behind, "Brother, I love you." ”

I stood up. The plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground.

"Don't be surprised, don't turn around, just let me hold you." Hao Junqi continued, "You know what? The moment I fell into the surging river, I thought of Jiajia and you. I think of Jiajia because Jiajia has even lost her last mother's love, and she is as lonely as me in this world; Thinking of you is because I haven't told you I love you yet, and this sentence is what I've been wanting to say to you for so many days. No, I think I've wanted to talk to you since I was sensible. I'll have to tell you before the flood engulfs me. ”

"The flood can't swallow you." I say.

"I'm a very unconfident woman. Maybe it's because I've been through too much that I've lost my self-confidence. Before you tell me about your past, I was always worried that my concave spirit would reject you. I had never been so worried before the reunion, all I wanted was to be able to meet you again. When I prayed to the heavens, I just prayed that I could meet you again, and I didn't want anything else. But people are very contradictory, and people's desires are dynamic. When I meet you again, I immediately worry about it. And when you talk about your past, I'm afraid we're going to exclude each other. Didn't you say that your convex ring supernatural will also repel the opposite sex?

So I've been struggling with it for the past few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to love you. I'm afraid the same ability will happen to us again. I'm even afraid that I'm going to hurt you, just like I once thought I hurt Qi Zhengzhe. But you know how much I love you, and you have been in my heart for so many years. Just when I was at my most desperate, when I decided to accept Qi Zhengzhe's love, I still thought of you. You have not disappeared from my mind for a moment.

Today, just now, the moment you jumped into the water, my heart ached. I thought we were all done. Such a flood cannot be competed with by anyone who is good at any water. I felt that my concerns had been fulfilled. That's what I don't want to see. It doesn't matter if I die, I don't want my brother to die, specially, don't die because of me. But we grabbed the plank, we beat the flood, and we came back to life.

It dawned on me that I couldn't dwell on it anymore, that I shouldn't have any concerns. Otherwise, it is very likely that the opportunity to say 'I love you' to my brother will be missed. So I don't have any worries. All I have left is to muster up the courage to say 'I love you'. Brother, I love you. ”

I turned around. Hao Junqi had tears on her face.

"Junqi—" I hugged Hao Junqi in my arms.

"Brother—"

"Junqi, I ......"

"Don't speak, brother. I don't need you to express it. Please let me express it. I'm a woman who likes to express the most, and the only audience is you. I remember the first day we met, I couldn't wait to tell you all about my past. Because I belong to you, I want you to know everything about me.

Please don't rush to say you love me. You don't have to say it. I know you love me. I know that my brother has loved me since he was sensible, just like me. The road you have traveled in your life, so far, has a main line, searching, looking for a girl named Hao Junqi.

There is no need to talk about anything, and there is no need to mention that after graduating from college, he has to work in Yangjiang, and even induced Mr. Zheng's heart disease; There is no need to mention 20,000 yuan, and even hurt Jin Limei because of this against your principles of being a man; There is no need to mention that on the day of the wedding banquet, he ran from Hua'an to Yangjiang just to find someone like Hao Junqi's voice, and even left a shadow in his wife's heart that can never be erased...... Really, don't mention any of this, without this, I still know that my brother loves me. My brother loves me. ”

"Junqi—" My tears fell silently.

"Brother-brother-" Hao Junqi tilted her face.

Tears on his face. Affection at a glance.

Heartbroken.

Tears blurred my eyes.

I put my face close to this face.

Tears mingled. You can clearly feel the tears welling up. You can also feel the creaminess and warmth and heat. You can also feel called and attracted. So you move your face, from that temperature and humidity, to where you want to go.

No more worries. Neither of them had any worries. I don't think of any supernatural things. The supernatural was originally born for this moment.

Near. Near. Slowly approach. Close enough to hear the sound of a heartbeat, close enough to hear the sound of breathing.

The phone rang suddenly. Amid the roar of the rain, the ringing of the mobile phone is still clear and loud.

Hao Junqi is a spirit. She broke free from my embrace.

"The phone rang." Hao Junqi's face turned crimson.

"Ahh I say.

"I'm afraid it's for Jiajia's business."

"It's fine. Take it. ”

Hao Junqi bent down and took out her mobile phone from her bag, but the phone ringtone was broken. Another ringtone rang, and Hao Junqi gave me her phone. That's when her phone rang again.

I got on the phone. It's an unfamiliar number.

"Uncle." A woman's voice. The sound of the flood rushing out made it difficult for me to hear each other.

"Who?"

"I'm Xiaorou."

"Xiao Rou? What's up? ”

"Uncle, you're alright. Tell you to change the time and you don't listen, such a heavy rain. Xiao Rou was worried to death. Xu Xiaorou said.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at school. I borrowed the phone from our math teacher. You okay? ”

"I'm fine. There is a hydropower station right here in the reservoir. Nothing at all. I guess I'm going to live in the countryside today, and you take care of yourself. I said.

"Why do you live in the country? Isn't it convenient to drive back? ”

"Oh, childhood playmates won't let go." I made up a reason.

"Oh. Bye. ”

I hung up.

Hao Junqi is still on the phone. That's when I realized that mobile phones have a lot of negativity.

"That's what to say." Hao Junqi put away the phone, "It's Brother Cheng calling." ”

"Cheng Wei? Does he have your mobile phone number? I asked.

"Uncomfortable?"

"No, no."

"This Brother Cheng, he is too persistent." Hao Junqi approached me, "I told him that I had accepted your gift of mobile phone, that is...... But he was still very persistent and forced me to give him his mobile phone number. You know his character. ”

"It's fine." I handed the phone to Hao Junqi and asked her to put it in her satchel, "I called from Xu Xiaorou here." Cheng Wei is a very stubborn person. ”

"I've made it clear to him that I only think he's the big brother, but he's still ...... In the past few days, he has either come to the house to block me or come to my office to look for me, which has made me very embarrassed. Colleagues and neighbors have gossip. And I can't tell you. ”

"It's understandable from his point of view. He has always believed that he has found true love, so he will naturally not admit defeat easily, nor will he give up easily. However, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Let's not talk about him, let's think about our current situation. ”
