Lotus Chronicle

"It's raining."

Seeing Vino froze there and didn't respond, Lian Er repeated it with a hint of a smile.

"Oh." After a while, Vino replied.

"I can't go back even under such heavy rain." Lian Er looked at Vino.

"It's okay." Vino said slowly, "I have an umbrella, I can borrow it from you."

Lian Er: "..." Looking at Vino and the torrential rain outside, Lian Er's expression froze, and he replied after a while, "Thank you then."

"You're welcome." Vino found a black umbrella from some corner and handed it to Lianji.

Seeing that he didn't hesitate at all, knowing that he was determined not to keep her overnight, Lian Er didn't know what it was like for a while.But he wasn't particularly persistent, although there were ways to get Vino to compromise if he wanted to, but he suddenly didn't want to do that.

Since Vino doesn't want to stay, then he should leave.

Lian Er took the umbrella, and did not leave immediately, but opened the backpack, and took out an elegant notebook from it, with a lifelike lotus flower swaying and blooming on the cover.

Lian Er rubbed it, and then handed it to Vino under Vino's complicated gaze.

This is the trophy that Vino personally won for him four years ago, and he later used it as a diary. No one except him knows the contents of it, and there is only one central figure in his records...

It was the senior sister's words that inspired him, just like Vino once wrote a love letter every day, conveying his knowledge and thoughts to him in the form of letters.

Lian Er suddenly hesitated, whether he can give Vino Vino this note that records his psychological process and views on Vino at that time, is it necessary to know?

So before going home, Lian Er accidentally took this diary at the bottom of the box with him.

Vino obviously recognized the origin of this notebook, and stayed there for a while.Various emotions flickered in the black eyes. Looking back now, this notebook can be said to be the original source of all disasters. Vino didn't know what attitude to face, and he didn't know that Lian Er handed the notebook to him at this time. Meaning, even though he vaguely guessed something right, the idea just popped up, and he pinched it off.

Lian Er didn't force Vino to take it, turned around and put the notebook on the table, then zipped up the backpack and put it on his back, "Good night." Looking back at Vino, Lian Er walked towards the door.

Vino didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, and he hung his head, wondering what he was thinking.

It was the time when there was a storm and thunder and lightning outside, Lian Er stood at the entrance of the hall, feeling the icy chill in the air.Feeling very uncomfortable, Wei Nuo was really determined to drive him away in such weather, and it was almost ten o'clock.Even if it's just an ordinary friend, under such circumstances, they will keep customers, right?

However, it also reflected that Wei Nuo's attitude towards him was unusual...but he really didn't want such an unusual attitude. It would be even better if he could stay overnight.

If you go back and communicate with Vino, you can be ruthless enough to reject the first time, and you will always be softer the second time, right?Just as he was thinking about it, Lian Er saw headlights approaching slowly in front of him, and then stopped on the road under the stairs in front of him. Lian Er squinted his eyes to look carefully, and vaguely saw that it was a taxi through the heavy rain and fog , So I opened the umbrella and walked down.

The passengers in the car just came out with umbrellas.The passenger was a man about his age, and the two passed each other in a hurry.

Lian Er quickly sat in the front seat and closed the umbrella.

The rain is inconvenient, and the clothes are almost wet in just a short while. The heavy rain is still blowing, and no matter how big the umbrella is, it can't do much to protect the rain.

The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and Lian Er couldn't help shivering due to the sudden blow of air-conditioning.

"Young man, do you still have to go out at such a late hour and in such bad weather?" The driver brother is a kind-looking middle-aged man. Seeing that there are still passengers in the car with a bag on his back, he greets him kindly. "Where is this going?"

"Go to the teacher's apartment in Dainan Ward, Tokyo."

"okay!"

The elder brother of the driver slowly turned the front of the car and drove out of the community. Lian Er lowered his head and straightened his clothes. Half of his trouser legs were soaked, and it was really uncomfortable to stick to the flesh.Pulling the corner of the clothes, even the clothes were wet, and the brows could not help but slightly frowned.

Lian Er, who was in the car, naturally didn't see it. When the car started, the tall man who hurried out from the building watched anxiously as the car just left.The taxi came by coincidence, if it was that one o'clock in the evening, Lian Er might get what he wanted.

Listening to the radio station with poor signal in the car, the driver brother turned down the volume, turned up the air conditioner, and then said cheerfully, "It's raining so hard tonight! Why is it so late, young man? Big rain back to school? You young man doesn’t look like a teacher, are you a college student? Tokyo is great! My son’s goal is Tokyo University. He’s in his third year of high school this year. I wonder if he can pass the exam haha!”

Lian Er smiled lightly, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely pass the exam."

"I think so too haha! Actually, my son has good grades, and he is in the top ten in every exam!" He proudly praised his son, and then said, "By the way, the young man lives in this community? Why don't you wait until tomorrow Back to school when the rain stops?"

"I came to see my friend." Lian Er said.

"Then the relationship between you and that friend of yours must not be very good, otherwise it wouldn't be so late and you wouldn't stay overnight in such bad weather, and I don't think about what to do if something happens." The driver brother said bluntly , "If you are a good friend and still treat you like this, then you have to watch and get along with each other."

"We just had some conflicts." Lian Er said lightly.

"Oh!" The driver brother read a lot of gossip from Lian Er's words, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, "It turned out that I was kicked out because of conflicts with my girlfriend! Girls nowadays are so self-willed, occasionally making trouble Little temper is actually a matter of taste, as a boyfriend, please be more tolerant!"

"Not a girlfriend."

"Oh, that's the little boyfriend?" The driver nodded comprehensibly, "Don't worry, I don't discriminate. Although I'm older, my thinking is very up-to-date. We carry passengers all the year round. What kind of person are you? Everyone has seen it. I have seen a couple who are much older than me, and they are very affectionate! At that time, I thought, this man and woman couple still get divorced, and look at the current divorce rate. They are all men, but because it is not easy to stay together, they cherish this rare happiness very much, so it is right to find a partner to live a life, regardless of finding a man or a woman, to be together for a lifetime!"

The elder brother of the driver spoke in a cadence, Lian Er listened attentively and agreed with the driver's words, but he also knew that in this society, not everyone was as open-minded as the driver.

Because of the heavy rain that hindered the sight of the relatively distant road conditions, the taxi drove very slowly and carefully. Lian Er didn't talk much along the way, but the driver was very talkative, keeping his eyes on the road and talking The chanting words, from gossip around him to state affairs, continuously entered Lian Er's ears.

The normal half-hour journey took nearly an hour this time. Lian Er could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he vaguely saw the familiar building, and finally arrived.

Although he didn't get tired of the driver's thoughts, Lian Er was still not very used to such enthusiastic communication.

Paid and thanked the driver.Lian Er opened the car door and opened the umbrella, and quickly ran into the apartment building.

There is no more thunder now, but it is still raining heavily.

Lian Er returned to her apartment, opened the door, the room was pitch black, and the other occupant of the house had obviously fallen asleep.

Lian Er turned on the light, moved lightly, put the dripping umbrella outside the balcony, then turned off the light in the living room, and went back to the room in the dark.

Turning on the light in the room, Lian Er put the half-wet backpack on the ground aside, then directly found a set of pajamas, went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.

After washing, I finally felt much refreshed and comfortable. Lian Er then took out the items in the backpack one by one, put the things that should be put away, and put the things that should be rewashed first, and then put them together with the backpack into the basin next to the bathroom to soak. I'll wash it tomorrow when I'm free.

After the bed was made, Lian Er took the mobile phone aside and sent Vino a message that he had returned to the apartment.

He admitted that it was intentional that he didn't report Wei Nuo's safety at the first time, and that no one would keep him in weather like this and let him come back in such a heavy rain.So it's fair to let him worry a little longer, isn't it?

Before Vino could reply to the message, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Jingshi's shout——

"Lian Er Lian Er"

Lian Er quickly got up from the bed, went to open the door, and saw Jingshi in pajamas frowning, "Jingshi, are you still awake or did I wake you up?"

"No, I didn't fall asleep at all." Tonight's weather was thunder and lightning, Yukimura Seiichi was not in the mood to watch TV, so he took a break early, but he was so energetic that he couldn't fall asleep, so he just lay down on the bed and read a book.

After recovering from the world in the book, I saw that the time was almost twelve o'clock, so I was about to go to sleep, but just as I lay down, I heard some movement outside. At first I thought it was an illusion, and Jingshi didn't pay attention. , it seems that I can really hear the noise in Lian Er's room, although I can hardly hear it, but Jingshi just feels it.

Seiichi Yukimura thought it was a thief, but then he thought it might be Renji who came back, so he got up and went out. Sure enough, there was a light in the gap of Renji's door, Seiichi Yukimura frowned, it was really Renji who came back, if it was a thief, he would not Would be stupid to turn on the light.

The next moment, Yukimura Seiichi frowned again, didn't Renji say to go to Vino?Why did you come back so late?Still in such bad weather

When it just rained, Yukimura Seiichi thought that Renji would definitely stay at Vino's place. At first he had the idea of ​​picking up Renji, but after picking up the phone, he hesitated. It's easy to recognize his own feelings and stop avoiding them, he'd better not care so much, or let it be like this.

Unexpectedly, Lian Er came back.

Thinking about it carefully, Seiichi Yukimura still felt uneasy, so he knocked on the door, but there was no movement in the room, Seiichi Yukimura knew that Renji was going to take a bath, so he went back to his room and sat and waited for a while.

In about ten minutes, Yukimura Seiichi went out again, knocked on Renji's door, and saw Renji.

"Lianji, didn't you go to Vino's side?" Seiichi Yukimura thought of a possibility that he thought was impossible. Could it be that Vino didn't want to take in Lianji? It's not like Vino, who loves Lianji so much, would do it thing. "you……"

Lian Er smiled lightly and shook his head, then said, "Jingshi, this is a matter between me and Vino."

Yukimura Seiichi didn't speak for a while, looking at Renji's indifferent face, he understood what Renji meant.

"Okay, then you go to bed early, do you still have class tomorrow?"

Lian Er nodded, "You also go to bed earlier."

After watching Seiichi Yukimura go back to his room, Renji closed the door, went back to bed and picked up his phone.

Vino has already responded to the message, with a very concise word: yes.

Lian Er smiled, said good night, put the phone aside, turned off the lights, and fell asleep with eyes closed.
