silent you

Chapter 16 6. The Rain and Mist

After Jiang Pei went downstairs, he walked out of the hotel directly, with an indifferent and calm expression, walking aimlessly on the road alone.

In the early morning of June, the dawn was early, and most people were still sleeping peacefully in bed. There were almost no people on the wide and cold street. Occasionally, speeding cars and taxis passed by, bringing a gust of cold wind.

Today's rare sky is gloomy and depressing. I don't know how long it has passed, and a little bit of rain fell from the sky, and it turned sharply in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Pei stopped and stood where he was, not dodging or evading, letting the rain pour down his head, looking expressionlessly at the dark cloud-gathered, dark sky, with the familiar hotel logo out of the corner of his eye.

He walked back again, for the third time this morning.

Before he could turn around and leave again, a anxious figure rushed out of the revolving door of the hotel.

The squad leader hastily and involuntarily grabbed Jiang Pei and pulled him in. He let go of his arm when both of them entered the hotel lobby. While shaking the rain on his clothes, he said, "Why don't you come in? I can see that you have been standing outside for a long time, and your complexion is still so bad..."

He didn't dare to pull at first, but when he saw that Jiang Pei's face was pale and ugly, and his whole body was about to be soaked, he couldn't care so much when his mind got hot.

The cold rainwater flowed down Jiang Pei's hair and chin into the collar, his expression remained unchanged, and his tone was cold: "Don't worry about me."

After saying that, he turned around, raised his foot and walked out the door.

The squad leader didn't dare to pull it this time, so he hurriedly took the umbrella provided by the hotel for free, quickly chased after him, and forced it into Jiang Pei's arms from behind.

Jiang Pei still had that indifferent and calm look, with a tall and slender back, and he threw it back while walking without looking back.

Seeing that he was so ungrateful, the monitor, who hadn't slept all night and was always taking care of his classmates' aftermath, was furious, a little annoyed, and blurted out: "Forget about the others, why don't you and Gu Xia so?"

Jiang Pei paused, his expression extremely calm, and he stood with his back to the squad leader, his eyes flickering. He was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "What's wrong with Gu Xia?"

The squad leader regretted it after he finished speaking, holding the thrown back umbrella in his arms, looking at Jiang Pei's back, thinking to himself.

Why did I get angry at Jiang Pei? What did he have to do with Jiang Pei after he worked hard all night? Besides, this person has a character that doesn't buy from anyone. He has no one else in his eyes except Gu Xia.

Thinking of this, the squad leader restrained his tone, and said cautiously: "Actually, I don't know too well. I went to him in the morning when I had something to do. I stood outside and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one paid me any attention. I went to him again just now. Once, this time was better, the door of the room was open, but Gu Xia was gone, only his brother..."

Jiang Pei suddenly turned around, with a sullen face, and interrupted sharply: "Who are you talking about?"

Shocked by his sudden change of expression and tone, the squad leader suddenly became a little flustered. He couldn't help holding the umbrella tightly in his arms, and hesitantly said: "If I remember correctly, it's his brother... Parents He will come, he came last night and asked me where Gu Xia is..."

The squad leader's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally automatically muted.

Jiang Pei's face was extremely cold, but his dark eyes were filled with a frightening crimson, filled with unprecedented violence and hostility.

The squad leader looked at him in fear and shuddered.

……

The cold rain poured down, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled continuously on the ground full of water, and then converged into streams on both sides of the road and flowed into the sewer.

Jiang Pei was drenched all over, his face was cold and pale, his breathing was heavy and violent, there was a fishy sweetness rising from his throat, and the pain in his chest seemed to explode.

He ran in the rain for more than three hours, but he still couldn't find Gu Xia.

The fingers hanging down to the sides were covered with bruises and turned white from the rain.

Repeating and recalling the scenes of last night and this morning over and over again in my mind.

The image of Lin Yan's lips stained with blood, lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, unable to move his body, flashed before his eyes.

Jiang Pei frowned in disgust and indifference, gasped, and started walking again.

"Cough, cough, cough... how do I know where he is, he must be looking for death..." Lin Yan's voice was hoarse, and his tone was understated.

"After all, I messed with him for a whole night... Afterwards, I felt extremely miserable when I saw him... Especially that heartbroken... and speechless appearance... Tsk tsk... Really..."

He jokingly said, "You were still standing outside the door when you started..."

"...cough cough cough... cough cough cough!"

"Don't you mind? Or do you not understand what I mean...No, the sheets are so dirty and messy, you should have seen it..."

Jiang Pei wiped his face nonchalantly, and stopped in his footsteps as he stared at the billowing water and the vast and mighty river suddenly appearing in front of him.

The solid gray embankments on both sides of the river were built very high, and it was daunting to look down. If anyone climbed up and jumped, according to the current rain and water force, he would definitely die without bones.

Jiang Pei's feet moved suddenly, he turned around without hesitation, and ran in the opposite direction, his figure quickly disappeared by the river.

In the lonely world, the vast rain and fog, he didn't know where to go to find Guxia.

But he knew that Gu Xia was waiting for him.

……

Jiang Pei would go back to the hotel every hour.

When he stepped into the hotel lobby again with his face turning blue and dragging his heavy and tired body, the heavy rain that turned the world upside down gradually became smaller and stopped again.

The squad leader greeted him worriedly, looking at his unusually calm side face, hesitant to speak.

Jiang Pei raised his stiff and numb arm, pressed the red corners of his eyes nonchalantly, and said in a hoarse voice, I'll look for it again.

The hotel surveillance has been checked out a long time ago. Not long after Jiang Pei left the hotel at dawn, Gu Xia stumbled into the hotel lobby, went out and walked in a certain direction, and then disappeared without a trace.

The subordinate sent by Jiang Pei's father was on the phone not far away, and reported something to the person on the other side in a low voice, with a respectful tone. When he saw Jiang Pei, he took two steps forward and was about to say something, but saw him turn around and turn away. left.

Jiang Pei has been sleepless for a long time, and his physical strength is exhausted after all.

This time, he didn't even go out of the hotel lobby, so he staggered two steps, supported the armrest of the sofa for people to rest with one hand, and took a deep breath.

Drops of tears hit the soft and smooth surface of the leather sofa continuously without warning, and were wiped away by him casually.

The retracted fingertips kept trembling, and Jiang Pei's face remained unchanged.

Just as he was about to step out again, he saw a cautious, short and very familiar figure at the door. The man looked around twice, and after seeing Jiang Pei unexpectedly, his face was filled with joy, and he immediately trotted towards him.

……

Before the black car stopped on the side of the road, Jiang Pei opened the door without hesitation, and rushed into the courtyard of the villa like a wind.

He slammed open the half-open iron door in front of him with a loud bang, and the sound alarmed the people standing in front of the white carved wooden door.

When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Pei from a distance, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Pei traveled unimpeded all the way, but when he was about to approach the door, he stopped suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the thin figure curled up in the corner behind Mother Jiang, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible big hand , The chest rose and fell violently.

He took a deep breath, rushed up the steps in three steps at a time, quickly crossed the final distance between the two, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

This morning the sky was gloomy and it was raining heavily. The helpers and Mama Jiang woke up late. When they found Gu Xia leaning against the iron gate with his clothes completely wet, he had already had a high fever for a long time and was almost unconscious.

No one knows how he got here, nor how he did it, but he dragged his abused sick body to Jiang Pei's house when he was unconscious and unable to speak. outside.

By this point, he was severely dehydrated, breathing hot and weak.

Jiang Pei stroked his flushed cheeks and extremely hot forehead with trembling fingers, and said in a low voice, Gu Xia, I'm here.

Mother Jiang and the helper helped Gu Xia through the iron gate outside, and were about to take him into the living room, when he woke up briefly and in time.

For some reason, the person who seemed so gentle, obedient and weak was unwilling to step into the door.

He just breathed tremblingly, silently and resistingly pushing away the arms that came to support him again and again, swaying from side to side and taking two steps back, leaning softly on the wall behind him, murmuring Jiang Pei's name repeatedly.

Jiang's mother couldn't help it, so she had to ask the helper to find Jiang Pei quickly, and she went back to the house, quickly took a clean and soft blanket, wrapped him up carefully, took the water glass, and fed him a tablet to reduce fever as prescribed by the doctor. medicine.

The blanket was covered, but he spat out all the pills and water.

At that time, Gu Xia's body and spirit were already at the end of their strength.

But in his dizzy consciousness, there was still a tight string, which prevented him from completely fainting, and taught him to hold on until now.

The moment Jiang Pei rushed into the iron gate, he felt something, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Jiang Pei from afar.

Just this one glance caused Jiang Pei's heart to be torn in two on the spot.

Therefore, there is no relaxation, excitement, joy, or joy in Xia Xia's eyes.

There is no grievance, resentment, hatred, or sadness.

He just leaned against the door frame next to him weakly, his arms loosely hugging his body that was both cold and hot, he looked at Jiang Pei calmly and tiredly, and then closed his eyes silently.

As if he knew it from beginning to end, as long as he waited quietly.

His destination will definitely come.

Jiang Pei picked up Gu Xia and strode towards the door.

Gu Xia snuggled up to his shoulder in a daze, her bruised fingers slipped aside, and she didn't stop him.

Jiang Pei hugged him so tightly, as if he wanted to embed him into his flesh and blood.

He seemed to hear what he said, in a calm tone that he tried his best to suppress.

But there was a warm and bitter liquid hitting his dry and cracked lips.

Gu Xia pursed her lips subconsciously, a sharp pain came from her lips.

He shook his head gently, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and finally found him.

Jiang Pei lowered his head and tightened his embrace, tremblingly.

Thank you for trying your best.

appeared before me.
