Chapter 253: Interrogation in the Rain
The cool breeze swept through the branches and leaves of the treetops on the street, bringing with it the sound of rustling and trembling. A cold breath suddenly swept over Tang Yating's pretty white face, making her delicate body tremble slightly for a few moments.
Tang Yating's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and her eyes looked at the map she picked up in her hand through the dim street lamp. The above is the specific location of the garden of each house in the modern city of Santa Fe.
Although it is not the first time that Tang Yating has come here because of her part-time job at Mo Qingfeng's house, she is obviously still quite unfamiliar with this place.
Time passed gradually in Tang Yating's search, until the cool feeling gradually dissipated from her body, and she felt a drop of cold softness suddenly fall on the tip of her erect nose.
The girl's eyes were slightly stunned, and she raised her hand to brush it gently, only to find that it was a clear drop of water. Her eyebrows flickered, and she looked up at the sky in a hurry. It turned out that in the darkness of the night, it was already quietly drizzling.
"It's really unlucky, why is it raining all of a sudden."
Tang Yating complained so unhappily in her heart, hurriedly put away the paper map in her hand, and withdrew her hands and gently rubbed them between her lotus arms a few times. When her body no longer felt the strong cold, she took another step and trotted forward briskly.
When Tang Yating was running on the side of the road in the increasingly dense drizzle, a blue taxi was coming quickly behind him not far from him at this moment.
In the back seat of the car, a handsome young man was lying lazily on his back, his eyes were slightly blank as he looked at the drizzle outside the car window, but he didn't know what he was pondering.
The taxi took the puddle in the low-lying area on the side of the road and drove all the way, but when it passed by Tang Yating, it happened to splash a lot of water.
Tang Yating only cared about burying her head and rushing forward for a while, where could she care about looking at the side, so when she felt a cold body swept from her body again, the water on the ground and the side of the road had already splashed most of her sideways. The dress, which was originally fair and clean, was also stained by the rain mixed with sludge.
"Hey, what are you doing? Whether you can drive or not, really! ”
Seeing that the vehicle had already driven by, Tang Yating had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, and she could only scold loudly in the direction where it had gone, in order to vent her dissatisfaction and protests.
"Huh? The voice just now is so familiar...... Is it a witch? ”
The shout, which had become extremely faint, faintly came, and the handsome young man who was half-lying in the back seat of the car seemed to hear something for a while, and his godless eyes instantly brightened at this moment.
He hurriedly got up and turned his head to look behind him, looking through the back window of the car and the layers of rain and fog, he vaguely seemed to see a very familiar white figure, half-bent over and running in the direction where he was.
"Could it be her?"
Yun Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a trace of hesitation and surprise in his heart.
However, he quickly calmed down, and hurriedly asked the driver in the driver's seat in front of him: "Master, please stop the car here." By the way, do you have an umbrella in your car? ”
The driver's face was slightly stunned, but he didn't hesitate much, quickly stopped the car, and handed over an umbrella beside him to Nalan Yunxiao. Although he didn't know what the latter was going to do, after all, he was a guest when he got in the car, and the whole money paid to him by the latter hadn't been changed yet, so he naturally didn't have to worry about Yun Xiao going away directly.
Taking the umbrella handed by the driver, Yun Xiao took a deep breath of the warm air in the car, then opened the door and opened the umbrella, and ran quickly towards the white shadow that he could vaguely see not far behind him......
"Click-click-"
Stepping on the puddles on the flat ground that had gradually accumulated, Yun Xiao buried his head and rushed back and forth along the sidewalk of the road, until he could vaguely see the familiar silhouette not far away, which was also running, his steps suddenly paused, and then slowly poked the umbrella he was holding forward in his hand, and in a pair of blazing eyes, there was a little reproach and distress.
"Bang!"
The girl ran forward with her head buried in herself, but suddenly the hands covering the top of her head crashed into a soft place with a clear warmth, and even the raindrops that fell on her slender hair suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Tang Yating's face changed slightly, and she quickly raised her head and apologized in a low voice in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you." ”
The fine bangs hanging down in front of Tang Yating's forehead were soaked by the rain, blocking most of her vision, so she didn't have time to look at it for a while, and she was bumped into by herself. It was only after she had finished speaking in an apologetic and hurried manner that she turned sideways and ran away again.
Looking at Tang Yating's flustered movements, Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart.
It's not because Tang Yating didn't even look at him, but he really didn't understand why the latter let himself run in the rain like this, and he didn't want to find a place to take shelter temporarily.
"Witch!"
Nalan Yunxiao turned around and looked at Tang Yating, who was about to leave her by mistake and ran away, her eyes sank, and she suddenly called out in such a strong tone.
Familiar and with a little arrogant title, through the sound of the rain ticking to the ground, Tang Yating's footsteps slammed, and the delicate body moving forward stiffened almost instantly.
The girl let her long hair fall like a waterfall, and the raindrops fell to her shoulders. The dim street lights shone down, but she still couldn't see her gloomy face at the moment.
Seeing Tang Yating stunned in place, but her body trembled slightly in the rain and fog, Yun Xiaojun's eyebrows suddenly turned sideways, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he followed with an arrow step, and soon came behind Tang Yating.
He then reached forward with his right hand, which was holding the umbrella, to block out the rain falling above the girl's head.
"What's wrong with you, what's going on? Why are you here? ”
Yun Xiao saw that Tang Yating neither turned his head to look at him, nor did he mean to say anything, so he could only choose to take the lead in breaking the silent and slightly frozen atmosphere in front of him, and inquired with surprise.
"I ......"
Tang Yating clenched the pink fist in front of her, which had already been soaked by the rain, and the cold water droplets fell down the girl's jade arm, and finally slowly smashed to the ground under her feet. Her face turned slightly pale at the moment, and her dry cherry lips squirmed slightly, as if she wanted to explain something, but she never had the courage to say it.
"You turn around and look at me!"
Yun Xiao suddenly commanded Tang Yating in such a tough tone, and between the fingers of his palm holding the handle of the umbrella, he also clenched it a little harder.
Tang Yating bit her red lips tightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed faintly, and gradually turned her body around, facing Yunxiao. She raised her head slightly, her slender eyelashes covered with rain blinked hard, and a pair of crystal phoenix eyes finally met Nalan Yunxiao's resolute and deep gaze at the moment.
"Say, why do you come here alone in the rain? And it's my house not far in front of me, you ......"
Yun Xiao questioned and speculated, but when his words fell here, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his handsome face, and then his tone was slightly incredulous: "Should you not, are you really going to my house?" ”
Tang Yating looked at Nalan Yunxiao with complicated eyes, and there were a little ripples in her beautiful eyes.
In fact, she could have pretended to meet Nalan Yanfeng, so that not only did she not have to pay for the previous dinner, but she could also learn about the relationship between the other party and her mother that she had always been curious about.
But just because of the life-saving gratitude in her heart, she didn't want to do anything to be sorry for Yun Xiao and Qingyi......
It's just that right now, when the stubbornness and all the obsessions in her heart are facing Nalan Yunxiao's ink-like pupils that are so clear that she doesn't see any thoughts, Tang Yating suddenly can't support the suppression of her inner emotions anymore.
She kept staring at him quietly, and the unconcealed concern in the latter's eyes made her cold body slowly return to a little warmth.
"Uhh
As if she could no longer suppress the emotions she had tried to restrain in her heart, Tang Yating finally stopped holding on, and let the crystals overflowing in her eyes burst out.
She sobbed slightly, but there was a helpless wry smile on her face.
For the first time, she let go of the so-called strong arms on the outside, and all the mustard in her heart, and buried herself in the deepest weakness, completely exposed to the sight of this arrogant young man in front of her, who once hated her so much.
"I'm sorry."
While Tang Yating was sobbing softly and wryly, Yun Xiao's gaze never left her face.
It wasn't until the girl in front of him had vented all the grievances in her heart and her breathing gradually returned to calm that he gently approached Tang Yating again with the umbrella he was holding, completely covering the latter in the heart of the umbrella.
And at this moment, behind him, he has already been soaked by the rain.
With a clear self-reproachful apology, it slowly came out of Yun Xiao's mouth. A trace of surprise flashed in Tang Yating's wonderful eyes, she looked at Nalan Yunxiao's worried face, and couldn't help but feel a touch in her heart.
But she still couldn't say anything, just tried to stop sobbing and shook her head gently.
"Can you tell me why you rushed to my house in such a hurry? And my dad, is he coming to trouble your family again? ”
Being stared at by Nalan Yunxiao with a little undeniable eyes, Tang Yating's pretty face was slightly hot, and her thoughts became muddy.
But after struggling for a moment, the girl finally told him what had happened that evening. It's just that about the condition that Nalan Yanfeng proposed to her, Tang Yating still didn't say it after all.
Under the inky night sky, the autumn rain still lingers and falls, pouring down on the umbrella in the cold wind of the seaside, converging into water droplets, and finally falling down the edge of the umbrella frame, connecting into a dense thin line.
The two thin but slender figures walked quietly side by side in the rain curtain, and gradually disappeared from the field of vision......
