The weather hasn’t been very stable lately. Not long ago, the sun was shining brightly, but now it’s gloomy as if it’s about to rain.
Sure enough, you can’t talk about anything in advance. Just as I thought about it, the sky really rumbled with a few muffled thunderclaps, and then it started to rain...
Quickly running under the eaves nearby to hide, the rain ca so fast that even just a few steps got a bit wet.
There were quite a few people on the street earlier, but now they’ve all disappeared. Xia Yuan wanted to hail a cab to go ho, but looked for ages with no taxis passing by.
Already unable to tell directions and afraid to wander around, she took out her phone from her bag, intending to call Xiyang to pick her up. However, her mind was filled with thoughts of Xu Kun, and she inexplicably dialed his number instead.
The phone rang for a long ti with no answer, until it automatically hung up.
Unwilling to give up, she dialed again, still no answer...
On the third attempt, just as it was about to hang up again, soone picked up on the other end.
"Hello..."
Just a simple word, yet Xia Yuan felt an imnse warmth in her heart. At this mont, lost, and with her clothes drenched and uncomfortable, her tone beca sowhat pitiful, "Hello... Are you ho right now? I wanted to co to your house to find you earlier but got lost. I don’t know where I’ve ended up..."
Listening to her words, Xu Kun furrowed his brow slightly. What’s she up to, running out to find him like this? And why the tone full of grievances?
"Where are you? What happened?"
"I don’t know..." She hated when people asked where she was or what this place was. If she knew, she wouldn’t need to call soone, would she?
"I just said I ca out of the café, walked for a while, and got lost..."
Her tone was so pitiful, it sounded really aggrieved.
At this mont, a low battery warning ca from the phone, adding to her anxiety, "Are you ho? Can you co find ? It’s raining outside, it’s a bit cold, my phone’s dying, I, I..."
After several tries, she couldn’t finish a sentence, and Xu Kun couldn’t listen any longer, "Which path did you take?"
"I, forgot..."
"......"
Suddenly feeling no love for this world.
This girl must have been sent by heaven to tornt him; how co everything ends up on his head?
"The café near the community entrance, right? How long have you been walking?"
"About ten minutes or so!"
"Got it. Stay put, find sowhere to shelter from the rain, I’ll co find you."
Looking out the window, he was currently over an hour’s drive away from ho in the suburbs, originally wanting to clear his mind, but...
After hanging up, Xia Yuan stood there, eagerly waiting for Xu Kun to co find her.
The rain was getting heavier, showing no signs of stopping, and it gradually began to gust, blowing the rain all over her.
Wearing a dress when she went out, now that she was thoroughly drenched, she felt a bit chilly.
With nowhere around to shelter from the rain, she squatted down, trying to huddle as tightly as possible, hoping this would help in keeping the rain at bay.
Xu Kun found her over an hour later, squatting in the corner, her clothes mostly wet, and her hair damp.
It was his first ti seeing her so disheveled, his lips pursed slightly as he approached with an umbrella and lifted her up.
"Why did you take so long to co? I’m almost freezing to death!"
As she spoke, she shivered.
