Chapter 103: Knowing a Stranger in Front of the Graveyard
The rain fell quickly and rapidly, and it was getting more and more intense, accompanied by a rumbling sound that continued to pour into An Ran's ears.
The torrential rain did not stop for a moment, pouring down, splashing on the old wordless tombstones, and then catapulting and flying to Enron's dress.
It's just that at this moment, how could An Ran, who was already soaking wet, care about this.
She turned a blind eye to it, heard it as if she hadn't seen the rain-soaked umbrella at all.
A pair of eyes that should have been beautiful looked at the cemetery, and their eyes were extremely hollow, and they couldn't tell what they were thinking.
Her face was covered with raindrops, and she completely ignored them, as if this was the only way to regain some familiar feelings that had been eroded and numbed by the years.
The rain was dripping on the umbrella, and the crackling sound kept pouring into her ears, as if it could purify her soul and dissipate the complicated emotions in her heart.
The umbrella grew wetter and wetter, and gradually it could not cover the downpour, and some raindrops began to fall and drip on the top of her head.
The raindrops slid down her forehead to her eyes, and An Ran finally had some reaction, she lowered her head and raised her hand, and wiped her eyes vigorously with her sleeve, and her tense emotions collapsed to the point at this moment.
She looked at the cemetery and sighed deeply, her voice full of crying trills: "Mom...... I'm so tired, really tired. ”
She was so tired that she was tired inside and out, so tired that she didn't want to meet anyone, so tired that she wanted to abandon the burden of revenge on her body, and she wanted to disappear in this rain at the moment.
The depression spread, as if the calm water of the lake was stirred up by thousands of ripples.
An Ran couldn't cry, her whole body exuded a sense of brokenness, she cried wantonly through the sound of raindrops, but at this time, a tissue suddenly appeared in front of her.
Looking at the paper towel that suddenly appeared in front of him, he woke up violently and raised his head vigilantly.
"Who?"
In front of the eye, it is a handsome face that shows a slight trace of age, but the former brilliance can be vaguely seen.
The middle-aged man maintained a safe social distance, with a soothing smile on his face, and the hand stretched out towards An Ran was never returned, and the other hand was elegantly but gentlemanly holding an umbrella.
He looked to be about fifty years old, but probably because of his proper maintenance, he looked extraordinarily young.
"Little girl, I see you're wet, wipe it."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, and his voice was gentle and mellow, which was easy to arouse a good impression.
An Ran glanced at the tissue, touched his tears indiscriminately, and did not rashly reach out to take it, but took a few steps back and said politely: "Thank you, but I don't need it, I have my own." ”
The other party was a stranger, and she didn't even know how long the other party had been observing her and how he would take what he handed her.
The mother's cemetery can be said to be in the wilderness, how can there be a man with such an elegant temperament as a middle-aged man in this kind of place.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem right.
An Ran looked at each other silently, silently looking at the man's dress, which is a typical gentleman's style in a suit.
After going through so many things, no matter how the other party feels to her, she doesn't want to trust others easily, and she doesn't want to cause any more trouble for herself.
The man was not surprised to hear An Ran's words, nodded and calmly put away the tissue.
He looked at the desolation around him, and couldn't help but turn to talk to her: "Little girl, I can't hide it, I have also stood in the distance for a while. ”
"There are a lot of young people who come and go here to visit their relatives, but it is rare for someone like you to lose your temper like you, little girl."
The man shook his head as he spoke, and the afterglow fell on the cemetery behind An Ran.
Hearing this, An Ran frowned, unable to understand what the man meant.
The other party didn't pause for long, and he took a few more steps towards the tombstone.
The man had his back on his back, and from An Ran's point of view, he couldn't see his expression.
An Ran was exploring the man, but heard his voice coming slowly.
"There's a ...... in here Is it your loved one? ”
"It's my mom, she passed away many years ago."
An Ran listened to the man mention the sadness, and he didn't have time to think about anything else, and his voice was obviously sad and lowered.
The man understood, and was very interested in not continuing to ask.
The atmosphere fell into a brief silence, which was quickly broken by him again.
"Little girl, I see that you are well dressed, you should live a good life when you want to come? Are the elders in the family good to you? ”
"Elders in the family?"
When An Ran heard this, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, with a face full of disdain.
She looked at the stranger she had never met in front of her, and at this moment her vigilant mood was difficult to relax a little, as if crying and laughing: "My life is a mess, my sister and I are twins at home, and they are obviously daughters, but my father only dotes on my sister, helping her frame me, mock me, insult me, and insult me......"
Saying these words is no less than cutting open your heart again.
An Ran sneered and snorted, his face was extremely cold: "If you want to say that the person I hate the most in this life, I am afraid that it is my eldest in the family, for him, I have long been disappointed." ”
In the past, she would have some expectations for Father An, but as time passed, she didn't know how much self-deprecation she had for this idea in the past.
The man listened to An Ran's words, and was slightly silent, as if he always stepped on thunder accurately, and always lingered in An Ran's sore spot when he opened his mouth.
But there is no way to do it, who would have thought that just asking an ordinary question would have such a strange elder.
The middle-aged man sighed, he couldn't help but stretch out his big hand and touch An Ran's head.
"This will pass, and it was not easy for my uncle back then, but there are always some winds and waves in life."
As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at the sky from the front of the umbrella, and couldn't help but say, "After the rain, the sky will be clear." ”
An Ran couldn't help but be a little moved, followed the man's gaze and looked at the sky, and then looked sideways at the man's steady and indifferent expression, looking at the tenderness and distress in his eyes.
At this moment, she only felt as if she had been healed a little.
The kind of maturity in a middle-aged man that has been precipitated by the years is something she doesn't dare to think about now.
There are many people who react after hearing about her family situation, but few can make her feel at ease.
In an instant, An Ran had a good impression, she nodded, raised a smile, and stretched out her hand generously.
"Thank you again for your enlightenment, my name is An Ran, can I ask your name?"
The man stretched out his hand and shook her hand, with a faint smile on his face, but he looked at An Ran's eyes and shook his head: "After all, people still have to rely on themselves to get out of the psychological shadow, you are a strong girl." ”
"If you meet again, you don't have to be named."
An Ran saw that this man didn't want to say it, so he naturally didn't force it.
She looked down at the time and opened her phone, it was already six o'clock in the evening, obviously it was not early.
She raised her eyes and smiled at the man in a friendly manner, and said bluntly: "It's not too early, there will be some danger if you go down the mountain later, I just heard that you also live in the Vatican Palace, do you want me to send you back?" ”
