In Su Chengyi's memory, the last time such a heavy rain was when he was in junior high school.

I vaguely remember that scene had a tendency to be a small disaster.

The sound of the rain knocking on the window lattice made him piece together a fragment of memory.

At that time, everyone thought it was just ordinary heavy rain, but they didn't expect that the rain not only did not weaken with the passage of time, but became more and more intense.

When the school announced the closure of classes and went home for rest, Su Chengyi was writing the answer to "Today's Problem" on the school's blackboard.

All the students were cheering, and the teacher's scolding couldn't stop these little bean buns who were bent on vacation.

Su Chengyi acted as if he hadn't heard the announcement on the radio, and just quietly wrote down the equation.

When it rains, it's wet, and the chalk head is wet, and every stroke becomes difficult.

He finished writing the last number and clapped his hands gently.

There was only him and a female classmate with a somewhat familiar face left in the classroom, Su Chengyi turned a blind eye, picked up his schoolbag and left.

The female classmate squirmed for a long time, but still asked him if he wanted to ride in the car together, and she could ask the driver to send him back first.

Su Cheng refused without thinking about it.

The rusty smell of the old railing and the smell of damp mud after the rain mixed and spread in the corridor, and the footsteps of the two people going downstairs one after the other echoed in the empty school building.

The school rules do not allow cars to enter the school, but the black Mercedes Benz is parked in front of the school building.

The man holding the black umbrella had been waiting in front of the car for a long time, with a respectful expression on his face.

Su Chengyi, who was walking in front, of course knew that this meeting had nothing to do with him, so he turned his steps and took a step away.

"Hey! Su Chengyi, you wait! ”

The female classmate behind her lingered and trotted to catch up.

Su Chengyi originally didn't want to stop, but at this time, her elbow had been pulled by her.

"It's raining so heavily, if you don't take a ride, you can always take the umbrella, right?"

Hearing her say this, the man in the suit who was waiting on the side handed over the black umbrella very interestingly.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at the black umbrella in front of him, which was obviously worth a lot of money, and the handle of the umbrella was a delicate gold-plated lion head.

Troublesome, borrowed and have to be repaid.

After the holidays, you have to participate in math competitions. If you take a leave of absence from work for a cold, I'll have to go on top, I don't want to go. ”

The female classmate turned her face away and muttered in a whisper.

In the next second, Su Chengyi put the schoolbag on his head and turned his head into the rain.

"Hey!"

The shouts of the female classmates behind him were quickly cut off by the rain curtain.

Deep and shallow puddles had already accumulated on the tiled floor of the school square, splashing with transparent water as he walked.

After Su Chengyi ran out of the school gate, he stopped running.

Because running is just to get rid of the kind and enthusiastic female classmates.

Of course, Su Chengyi, who is now reminiscing about the past, remembers that this "female classmate with a bit of a familiar face" is actually Miss Chu.

With such a heavy rain, unless he is the Flash or Quicksilver, he will be drenched in soup.

So it makes no difference whether you run or not, it's better to walk slowly.

Pouring rain, deserted streets, hazy emergency lights in the distance.

As now, it smacks of the end of the world.

Su Chengyi stood in front of the window, slightly distracted.

In fact, it's not just Chen Jinzhi who hates rainy days, he doesn't like it either.

————————————————

"At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary rainstorm, only I knew"

At this time, Chu Tianmian, who was on the other side of the city, looked at the rain curtain, and remembered the past incident of the failed attempt to deliver an umbrella like Su Chengyi.

When I was young, I just thought that this guy didn't know the hearts of good people, and it was very hateful.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little sad.

The whole school was picked up by their parents, and everyone was happy about the sudden holiday, and no one paid attention to the math problem that stumped most people.

Su Chengyi finished writing quietly alone, was he waiting for someone to pick it up for the reason of writing the question, or was he calm when he knew the ending.

At that time, the two were only in junior high school, and they were fragile and sensitive.

Chu Tianmian shrank into the sofa, and suddenly wanted to go back to the past and accompany him to drench himself in the heavy rain.

"Well, you take Sister Lin to find a place to shelter from the rain and wait, I'll come over right away."

After understanding the situation, Su Chengyi hung up the phone, grabbed an umbrella and went out.

Although Lin Tong said it as tactfully and calmly as possible, since he would choose to call for help, it means that things are not so simple.

The cardboard houses in the olive area, under the ravages of such a storm, may be crooked, and there is no way to live in them at all.

At present, it is still the Spring Festival holiday, and many nearby hotels are closed for business, and even if there are, it is estimated that it is difficult to grab the vacant room.

In such weather, I'm afraid I can't call a car.

Until the last resort, Lin Tong will not trouble him.

As soon as Su Chengyi got off the building, he was swept away by the wind and rain that came in from the gap in the railing of the iron gate.

Good guys, let's stay here and play rapids.

Driving over was the best option, and the point was that he hadn't had time to pick up the car yet.

Su Chengyi pondered for a long time, then raised his hand to unscrew the door lock.

The huge force of the wind helped him open the door in an instant, and the iron door hit the wall and buzzed.

Su Chengyi took advantage of this gap to get out, he didn't hold an umbrella, but strode directly downstairs on the opposite side.

I vaguely remembered that Uncle Niu had a car coming, and there was no other way at this time, so I could only ask him to borrow it.

Aunt Zhu quickly opened the door, with foam on her head, and the impatience on her face disappeared when she saw that the person who came was Su Chengyi.

"this point of whom. Intentions? Ouch! What's going on? Look you're wet, come in, come in! ”

Aunt Zhu stretched out her hand and grabbed his arm and led him into the house, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Niu Xianwang! Get a new towel out there! ”

Su Chengyi waved his hand to refuse her kindness, cleared his throat, and said:

"Auntie, I'm in a bit of a hurry to go out. Look at the weather, I really can't get a taxi, can I borrow your car? ”

Uncle Niu, who came out of the house, heard him say this, first put a towel on his head, and then replied:

"That's not going to work."

Su Chengyi was stunned, Aunt Zhu's loud slap had already slapped Uncle Niu's head.

"What the fuck are you talking about? No, what's not going to work? Bring the car keys! ”

Uncle Niu was slapped in the face, his brain was buzzing, and he retorted angrily:

"Why are you in a hurry! Losers! ”

He sighed, took the keychain out of his pocket, and shook it.

"Do you have a driver's license? Besides, with such heavy rain, can you drive safely? Wait, Uncle will put on a coat and send you off. ”

Su Chengyi took out a brand-new driver's license from the inside pocket of his coat and handed it to him.

"Yes, uncle."

Uncle Niu choked and scratched his head.

"Wait a minute, did you drink two taels of liquor tonight?"

At this time, Aunt Zhu also remembered an important matter.

"You want to drink and drive?"

"Harm, what can you delay in two or two, do you see that I still have the smell of wine in my mouth? Hah-"

"Ha you uncle!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Su Chengyi hurriedly spoke up to stop him:

"Auntie and uncle, I'll just go by myself. I've been practicing these days and there won't be any problems. It's not early, you guys should rest early, don't make a noise until the chocolate goes to sleep. ”

Seeing him say this, Aunt Zhu and Uncle Niu glanced at each other and had no choice but to agree.

Aunt Zhu put on a wide raincoat jacket for Su Chengyi, and the workmanship was very solid, which is said to have been issued when she was working in the factory.

Uncle Niu held an umbrella and took Su Chengyi to a white car against the strong wind.

"The car is not a big problem, it is just a bit old. Hey, I'm afraid it's not a few years younger than you kid. ”

Uncle Niu explained a few words of precautions for operation, and repeatedly told him to drive slowly and pay attention to safety.

Su Chengyi nodded and agreed, and finally completed the task and got a vehicle.

However, this is probably the first level of equipment for free-to-play players.

Su Chengyi always felt that the engine would stall halfway through.

But there's no better way to do it right now, it's better than walking.

Moreover, although the car is old, the owner obviously cherishes it, and the seats and steering wheel are wiped clean.

A group photo of the family of three was placed on the car, and the hanging sachet read "Peace".

In fact, you don't have to have a lot of cool big toys to attract people.

Su Chengyi thought like this as he rushed into the rain with one foot on the accelerator.

There are no pedestrians on the street in bad weather, and no matter how high the splash of the car drift splashes, it will not be cursed for being unqualified.

The wipers were working hard, but visibility was still low, as stressful as driving in the fog.

Su Chengyi inexplicably felt a burst of excitement, this strange feeling reminded him of an old man who should have been forgotten a long time ago.

In his previous life, he would make an appointment for psychological counseling every month.

said that he was consulting, but in fact, he was just spending money to find someone to talk to him.

Su Chengyi boasted that he didn't have any psychological problems, he just took the opportunity to exercise his language skills so as not to degrade his function.

The average counselor is relieved and relaxed, and will only ask him the same questions.

But then, a new person came to the counseling room.

She is obviously not as sensible as her predecessors, she asks every question carefully, and her notes are more detailed than when she was in class.

Su Chengyi closed his eyes and was very impatient with this consultation.

The aromatherapy in the consultation room has also been changed, from the usual lavender smell to the strange bergamot smell.

In response to a host of whimsical questions, such as "Imagine a horse and tell me it's a white, black or zebra," the young female counselor made a concluding remarks.

"Mr. Su, based on your test, I think you probably have a serious tendency to self-destruct."

"Self-destructive tendencies?"

"Yes. You take the value of life too lightly.

Have you ever thought 'fuck I washed the garlic' because the ice cream you just bought fell to the ground? ”

"Do I look cheap?"

"Hahahaha, that's just an analogy."

Although the counselor's face was blurred in Su Chengyi's memory, he inexplicably remembered her smiling eyes when she said this.

"I'm not making this judgment to judge you, it's just that I'm just interested in it.

There's a psychologist, well, it's actually Sigmund Freud, an old man who talks about gods.

Mr. Su, you should know each other, right? I've read your previous interviews, and you're about to finish reading "The Interpretation of Dreams", isn't it very useful to bluff people? Isn't it? That's how I often fool the layman. ”

"Is it a bit of a violation of professional ethics for your consultants to do this, and what is the number of people who report it?"

"Ouch, I accidentally pulled away! Let's get back to business! ”

The female counselor's grim smile and overly bright eyes made Su Chengyi feel that she was very much like a doctor in a thriller who randomly selected lucky patients to do pervert research, and immediately held back the word "return money".

"Sigmund Freud once said that all human beings are born with a strong impulse, the impulse to die. Its essence is self-destruction.

Those who choose to self-destruct may be talking and laughing with you one second, and the next second they will explode like fireworks.

Death is as common to them as drinking water when a person is thirsty.

And the longer you live, the farther you go, the more frequent and louder you will hear the sound of cannonballs!

The stumps are all over the place after the fireworks explode, it's scary, right?

But it seems to be beautiful!

In a dark world, only at the moment when these fireworks explode can you see clearly what life is like. ”

The more the female counselor spoke, the more excited she became, and in the end she spoke like a cannon.

But what she said was like a deranged madman!

Just when Su Chengyi felt a little suffocated and her heart was beating faster, she suddenly closed her mouth again, and resumed her smiling appearance as if the battery was running out.

It's time for the consultation.

"All in all, Mr. Su, I look forward to meeting you next time.

Before the next meeting, you are free to choose some healing methods. ”

"For example?"

When Su Chengyi spoke, he realized that his throat was dry and smoking.

"Play Genshin Impact Conditioning."

“.”

"Hahaha, I'm kidding, Mr. Su, goodbye!"

The crazy female counselor stuffed an orange fruit candy into his hand and left, greeting the cleaning aunt with a grin as she left.

Su Chengyi never felt that the two hours in the consultation room were so long, and he vaguely had the idea that he must drop the next consultation, and the consultation fee would be wasted.

It's a pity that this plan has not yet had time to be implemented.

Because before that, the day before the agreed date for counseling, he was born again.

Su Chengyi just felt that he had met a woman who was chattering with gods at that time, and he didn't take her words to heart.

The reason is very simple, if he really has any self-destructive tendencies, can he still live to this age?

I was severely depressed as early as my teenage years.

But now.

Su Chengyi saw a heavy rain curtain in front of him, the wipers were working repeatedly and mechanically, and the dull sound of raindrops hitting the glass was in his ears.

For no reason, he suddenly wanted to disappear into this rainstorm with one foot on the accelerator.

This is very unreasonable.

He is no longer the lonely loser social phobic youth in his previous life.

He has money, a girlfriend, and is successful both in his career and in his studies.

If he had died at this time, many people at the funeral would have grieved for him.

But this idea came out of nowhere, and it lingered around the heart like a fast-growing vine.

The last reason took Su Chengyi and stopped on the side of the road with a sharp brake, the tires skidding, and there was a harsh grinding sound.

He was lying on the steering wheel, his heartbeat bewildering almost everything around him.

It's like the sound of fireworks.

At this point, the window was slammed.

Su Chengyi came back to his senses from the chaos and saw the uniformed traffic policeman standing next to the car, warning with a serious face:

"Hello, you can't park here."

"I'm sorry, I'll leave right away."

Su Chengyi consciously felt that his back was wet, and he didn't know if it was the rain just drenched or a cold sweat.

"Wait, take a look at the papers."

The traffic police noticed that the young man was not in the right state and suspiciously pressed the door that was about to close.

Su Chengyi nodded, and took out his driver's license and ID card from his coat pocket very cooperatively.

Although the negativity in his heart was roaring and rolling at the moment, his expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and no one noticed that the arm holding the steering wheel was already green.

After the traffic police carefully compared the information and confirmed that there was no problem, they closed the car door for him and saluted.

"The road is slippery on rainy days, so stay safe."

"Thank you."

Su Chengyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Could it really be that the counselor said it?

The mobile phone rang at this time, he originally thought that Lin Tong couldn't wait to call and ask, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Jinzhi's call.

"Hello?"

Not wanting her to hear that something was wrong, Su Chengyi covered the earpiece, coughed a few times and cleared his throat before pretending to be casual and saying "um".

"The weather forecast says it's raining heavily in Tang'an."

Chen Jinzhi looked at the clear night sky outside the window and said.

"Yes, it's raining a lot outside."

Su Chengyi deliberately said this to avoid letting her know that she was going out.

"Teacher Su doesn't like rainy days either, right?"

"Huh?"

Su Chengyi was stunned for a moment, not understanding how she saw it.

"Guess what."

Chen Jinzhi's tone was a little smiling.

"In bad weather, please minimize travel. If you must travel, bring rain gear, you will catch a cold in the rain. ”

Su Chengyi listened to her broadcast like a weather program announcer, and wanted to laugh for a while.

Unconsciously, my mood is also a lot more relaxed.

"Of course, if you're already traveling, that's fine."

Chen Jinzhi's words changed sharply, and his voice was gentle.

"You know that. If there is no sincerity in holding an umbrella, then I love you in the rain. ”

I don't know how Chen Jinzhi sensed his abnormal mood, telepathy?

Su Chengyi was a little confused, but he had to admit that Chen Jinzhi's words were very effective.

The rain continued unabated, but he had calmed down a lot.

Su Chengyi connected to the car's Bluetooth, restarted the car, and prepared to continue moving towards his destination.

If it's a previous life, it's okay.

They are all reborn, whether it is psychological problems or childhood shadows, it is a big deal to detect and treat them early.

"Hello, why don't you leave?"

The car window was knocked again, and the traffic policeman just now asked with a frown.

"I'll leave right away."

Su Chengyi, who had adjusted his mentality, even smiled at him, and then tried to start the engine.

"Pss

“.”

It seems to have turned off the fire.

Su Chengyi and the suspicious traffic policeman looked at each other.

To the north, I washed the garlic!!
