Chapter 1 The First Sight of Summer Rain

Next Chapter

A summer rain washes away the dust that has accumulated in the world for a long time. The sky of the reed city is like a silver-gray net, blocking the sun, and the whole city becomes more and more elegant; The evergreen trees lining the roadside are becoming more green and lush. People walk through the streets with umbrellas, hurrying with their steps. The raindrops smashed on the umbrella, splashing small splashes and making a "popping" sound; The umbrella constantly skimmed over the umbrella, making a "rubbing" sound; On the road, vehicles with no end in sight were stuck on the road due to the rain. At this time, the lights on the car appear slightly harsh; The horns sounded one after another, the wipers worked non-stop, and the raindrops that smashed on the windshield were blown away in the next second. People didn't slow down because of the rain, and no one had the heart to slow down and enjoy the rain. Everyone seems to have turned on the accelerator, eager to finish the day as soon as possible.

However, the old alley at the corner of East Street is quiet at this time, as if it exists in two worlds with the downtown outside. In the old alley, every household closed its doors and windows, and the shops were half-closed, leaving only the rain dripping. Falling on the uwa, down the river to the eaves, dripping down the stone pavement; The stone pavement is strewn with rain bubbles, making a splash. Everything is so beautiful.

A running figure shattered the silence. Tao You took the bag to his head and rushed into an eaves in embarrassment. She had been running in the rain for some distance, her short sleeves and sweatpants were soaking wet and sticking to her body, and water was dripping down, forming a small puddle of water stains under her feet; The sneakers were already soaked in rainwater, and water bubbled out with every step, making a "quack" sound, which was very uncomfortable; The hairstyle that she had combed early had already spread out during the run, and the bangs that were in an embarrassing period were attached to her face, making her even more embarrassed. Tao You opened his schoolbag and secretly prayed that the phone in the innermost layer would be spared. Touching her phone, which was still dry, she let out a long breath, put down her bag, and wrung out her clothes. Then, take out your phone, turn on the selfie mode and start tidying up your hair. In the finishing room, inadvertently through the glass behind him, Tao You saw a handsome guy in a black long-sleeved tracksuit looking at the computer intently, his slender and bony fingers flying on the keyboard. Tao You turned sideways slightly, leaving more space for the handsome guy. She always knew that she was Yan Kong.

White skin, black hair, high nose bridge, thin lips, and should be a single eyelid on visual inspection. Tao You involuntarily enlarged the pixels of the mobile phone, enlarged the handsome man's entire face, looked at it carefully and carefully, and tried to draw his face in his mind.

Just as she was fascinated, a boy came over and sat next to the handsome guy and talked on his shoulder. Tao You didn't see the boy because he enlarged the pixels. I saw that the handsome guy suddenly pouted and smiled. Tao You's heart was moved for a moment. At this time, the boy who came over noticed Tao You. He saw Tao You looking at the person next to him with his mobile phone. He was no stranger to this kind of thing. He patted the handsome man on the shoulder, lifted his chin, and motioned for him to look.

The moment he looked at the handsome guy from the camera in his mobile phone, Tao You felt panic and embarrassment when he peeked at the bag that was caught.

The boy's face was even more stunning than she imagined, a little indifferent. She immediately looked away, tilted her phone at a slight angle, and pretended to be arranging her hair. The movements of his hands slowed down, his body quietly turned at a slight angle, and his eyes couldn't help but glance back.

I don't know how many times I looked behind him, Tao You found that there was no one behind him. She turned around, looked at the empty seat in the glass and was stunned for a few seconds, sighed and regretted that she had patronized the handsome guy and forgot to take a picture.

The string of shell wind chimes at the door made a crisp sound as the gate opened. It's that handsome guy! Tao You raised his eyes and looked. But it was only a slight glance, and he continued to look down and pretend to play with his phone. The handsome guy passed by her, and a gust of wind blew, and the refreshing fragrance mixed with the smell of the cold air in the room penetrated Tao You's nose. She couldn't help but sneeze. Before she could rummage through the bag, a pair of beautiful hands had already handed over a pack of tissues. Tao You lowered his head and took it, and whispered thank you, but I don't know if the other party heard it. The boy walked into the rain with an umbrella, and seeing that he was going to go away, Tao You quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of his back holding the umbrella.

Without waiting for Tao Youyou to look at the photo, the call came in. "Hey, Mom." Tao You hurriedly picked up the phone.

"It's getting dark, when are you going to come back?" The sound of stir-frying came from Tao's mother.

"I'm on my way, I'll be home right away." Tao You realized that it was not early. She hung up the phone, grabbed her school bag, looked at the rain that was already fading, prepared herself, and rushed in.

"Oops, why is this all wet." As soon as she entered the door, Tao's mother couldn't help chattering, but she still felt sorry for her baby daughter, "Hurry up and take a hot bath, don't look at the hot weather now, it's still easy to catch a cold." Tell me about you, you're also in high school, you're not a little girl anymore, why don't you know how to take care of yourself. I don't look at the weather forecast when I go out, even if it doesn't rain, I can bring an umbrella to cover the sun. Didn't you go to see Grandma Tang, why don't you stay at her house for a long time and wait for the rain to light up before leaving, or borrow an umbrella. Tao's mother wiped Tao You's hair with a towel.

"Who would have thought it would rain, and I don't have the habit of carrying an umbrella." Tao You took the towel, "I left when it rained, and I was too embarrassed to go back to trouble Grandma Tang." Just this time, there will be no next time. I will follow my mother's teachings. As he spoke, Tao You finished speaking at once, and stretched out three fingers to swear, successfully blocking a large part of Tao's mother's next words in her throat.

"Who can't do it with words, but do what you say." Tao's mother nodded Tao You's forehead and pushed her to the bathroom, "Hurry up and take a bath, it's time to eat." ”

"You went to see Grandma Tang today, she is in good health." During the meal, Tao's mother asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. She's an old man, just an old naughty. I still like to wear cheongsam, wear makeup, and follow trends as before. No, I just went to dye my hair two days ago. Tao You remembered something, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and continued, "Mom, do you remember Song Xiaopang who played with you when you were a child?" Grandma Tang said that Song Xiaopang had just been there before I went, and I don't know if he is still as fat as before. According to Grandma Tang, he is now a handsome guy, but why don't I believe it so much. ”

"How could I not remember. The two of you got into trouble and quarreled, which time was not Xiao Song carrying the black pot for you. Don't think I don't know. Tao's mother said with a smile. Tao You couldn't refute it, so he could only eat quietly and no longer give his mother a chance to turn over old accounts.

In other words, I really miss Song Xiaopang a little, and I miss the time when I was at ease. They are the same age, and I don't know if they will meet in high school. At night, Tao You lay on the bed, recreating the picture of his childhood in his mind. Unconsciously, the young man he met during the day occupied Tao You's entire mind. That's when she remembered the photos she had taken during the day. She pulled out her phone and flipped through the photos. It's a bit mushy, but it's very atmospheric, and it looks good without debugging. The wide umbrella leaned back slightly, blocking the small half, and the black canvas bag was carried behind it. By the time she reacted from the photo, it was early in the morning.

"What's the matter, Tao You, haven't you ever seen a handsome guy? As for it? Isn't it just a handsome guy. Don't look at it, sleep. Tao You turned off his phone, counted the sheep, and forced himself to sleep.
