Restlessness

Xu Yue lay lazily on the table, with her face pressed against the cold book cover and her messy bangs on her brow bone.The sweltering heat at noon also dissipated completely an hour ago, and a dark cloud layer began to billow over the head, leaving only the summer wind whizzing past the glass window outside the window.

"Hello, audience friends, the China Meteorological Administration launched the typhoon level two emergency response this afternoon. The Central Meteorological Observatory also raised the typhoon warning level from orange to the highest level red. The seventh typhoon this year... the wind force in the vicinity of the typhoon center will be There are nine to eleven levels, and there will generally be heavy rainstorms to heavy rainstorms in Shanghai..."

The TV next to the podium in the front row was tuned to the channel of the weather forecast by someone. There was a girl standing on the screen, dressed in women's formal attire, with a gentle voice. From time to time, she pointed to the map of China behind her. The sound of the book became more and more clear and unique.

Gu Yuan couldn't help raising his eyes to look at the TV screen, then turned his head and glanced out the window.

"The wind is so strong, it looks like it will rain in less than ten minutes." Gu Yuan stretched his waist, and threw the two papers he had just finished on Xu Yue's desk, "These two papers Just let it go to you first, and find a time tomorrow or the day after to check the answers."

The drowsiness on Xu Yue's face also receded a little, he rubbed his eyes twice and put the paper that Gu Yuan threw over into his exercise book.

"I don't know if the school will be closed during the typhoon. It sounds quite powerful." Xu Yue stared straight at the TV screen, but the movements of his hands seemed to have not finished buffering. He raised his fingertips slightly and squeezed After several attempts, I failed to pick up the pen lying flat on the table.

Sure enough, the sudden change in the weather disrupted the various study plans arranged by the school in advance, and Li Ye stepped on high heels to go upstairs much faster than before.

"Students, because of the impact of the typhoon, our school has temporarily decided to give all senior high school students a day off. Listen carefully to what I say next. Zhang Xie, close your windows! It's so big! The windows are still open..." Li Ye panicked, and even raised his voice, "From now on, it is best for boarding students not to go anywhere except dormitories, and no one is allowed to leave the school gate! And all day students—— All day students pack up their things immediately. I have notified your parents in advance before going upstairs. After packing up, go home. Don’t be in a hurry when you go downstairs. No pushing or pulling is allowed. Do you hear me clearly— —If you hear clearly, move now!"

Li Ye's voice was very high-pitched, but against the backdrop of the howling wind outside the window, it was extremely difficult to listen to.

Xu Yue was completely awake now, and he unconsciously glanced out of the window a few more times.The camphor trees standing on both sides of the tree-lined road have been lowered a lot, and the branches and leaves bent towards the ground are continuously emitting layers of water vapor in the wind. Within a few minutes, the empty playground can no longer distinguish the red and green runways. The middle school looked gray and foggy.

There were not many day students in Class A, and there were a few girls in the middle rows who never stopped holding their pens. From Li Ye entering the front door to exiting through the back door, their eyes never left the exercise book on the table.

The whole classroom became noisy immediately after Li Ye left. The desks and stools rubbed against the ground and made harsh sounds, some of which were louder than Li Ye's.

"How should I say? Sitting in the classroom in the storm and continuing to write papers? Or go to the supermarket to buy some snacks and then go back to the dormitory?" Gu Yuan crossed his legs, and his unhurried appearance became a landscape different from others.

"Do you remember what Li Ranran's famous quote is?" Xu Yue put away all the things on the table, completely closed the glass window with a gap on the left side, and finally stood up and raised his hand to open the glass window in the middle. The crescent lock was snapped backwards. "Your life is important, handsome guy Gu—in this weather, don't do anything here. Pack up and go to the supermarket to buy something, then go back to the dormitory."

"Okay. Then I'll send Li Ranran a message..."

"You don't need to post, they were already standing at the door of the classroom two mornings." Xu Yue pouted behind Gu Yuan, and then put the stool under the single table. "gone."

When the four of them made their way down the stairs, what they encountered head-on was a torrential rain that fell from the sky and was no different from pouring down with a basin.

Li Ranran blinked, lifted his schoolbag directly above his head, and was ready to sprint at any time.

"Li Ran, it's raining so hard, can you carry a schoolbag on your back?"

Gu Yuan half-opened his eyes, his hands were empty and he had nothing to cover him, but he still wanted to laugh at others first, Xu Yue leaned against the wall at the stairs, and stretched out his hand to poke outside.

Soon, Xu Yue's arm was completely wet by the rain.The moment his wrist hung down, the rain dripped down his arm, from his fingertips to his feet.

"Did you see that? Li Ran. It turns out that your schoolbag is useless." Gu Yuan stopped for a moment, looked at Xu Yue's arms covered with water, and couldn't help laughing. "Someone has tried it for you in advance."

Li Ranran pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Xu Yue's wet arm and said, "Damn, if I knew it, I would have brought an umbrella when I went out. It's fine to keep out the sun and rain."

Throughout the summer, there was never a typhoon warning in Shanghai. Zhou Hui was a little excited, stretched out his arms from time to time and immediately retracted them, and finally looked expectantly at the few people around him.

"Brothers, do you dare to play big with me?"

"playing what?"

"Rush straight to the supermarket."

Li Ranran: "???"

Gu Yuan: "??? Did you just write the test paper, did you spoil your brain? Such a heavy rain."

Xu Yue: "..."

None of the expressions on the faces of the three people agreed with Zhou Hui. Soon, a stronger cold wind roared wildly with water mist and pierced through the wide open window at the stairs, as if impatiently urging him.

Xu Yue couldn't help shrinking her neck and shivering.

"Forget it, it's better not to stand here and get entangled. It might rain even more in a while, and none of us have umbrellas. Besides rushing directly to the supermarket like Zhou Hui said, is there any other way? "

Gu Yuan looked at Xu Yue quietly, and finally tore off the thin coat that was tied around his waist indiscriminately and covered it on top of his head.

"Then you support my coat, at least you can cover it up a little bit," Gu Yuan said, then bent down to re-tighten his loose shoelaces, "Really cool?"

Xu Yue didn't speak, but slightly raised the left corner of her mouth.Then he squinted and rushed into the heavy rain.

"Brothers, why don't you rush? Hurry up, don't ink. Can you make a promise like others!" Zhou Hui yelled a few times and quickly followed.

On the sidewalks on both sides of the tree-lined road, there are many people holding umbrellas, and some are wrapped in white plastic bags that I don’t know where to get. There are even a few bold ones rushing to the school gate with their schoolbags in the heavy rain...

Gu Yuan ran fast, and when he met a few girls holding umbrellas side by side, they just passed by sideways and quickly wiped the edge of the umbrellas. Even though there would be a splash of mud in the water beach he stepped behind him, no one would stop and pass by. Wipe off the mud spots on the legs.

Gu Yuan is tall, and he was afraid that the speed and inertia would easily knock over the girl, so he kept yelling "Give way" all the way, just in case, whenever Gu Yuan passed by the girl, he would unconsciously cover his hands around them.

……

Li Ranran thought of the 1500 meters he had run in an instant, couldn't help but yelled something loudly, and kept up with Xu Yue who was at the front, and even took a few steps forward and passed him directly .

"Ahhhhhh—Xu Yue, Brother Yuan—you guys run faster——ah—"

The four people got wet all over their bodies, and finally got into the gate of the supermarket as they wished after 5 minutes.Gu Yuan was drenched from head to toe, the bangs on his forehead were twisted into several strands, and the waterline was continuously flowing down, and the eyelashes were covered with dense droplets of water.Xu Yue took off the thin coat that was held above her head, shook her head and reached out to rub her hair a few times.

"Fortunately, the hair is not wet." Gu Yuan shook his arms, and pressed his cold fingertips against Xu Yue's neck, wiping away all the rainwater left there.

The air conditioner in the supermarket hadn't been turned off, and the few people who had been drenched in the rain felt the coolness in an instant. It was cold from head to toe, and all the wet clothes were stuck to the skin.

"There is a daily necessities area at the back, you guys hurry up and grab two towels and wipe them off." Xu Yue pointed to the left side of the supermarket, and then tightly pinched the corners of her clothes together into a ball The group, the rain fell down. "Hurry up, don't stand at the door and watch, and the air conditioner is turned on in the supermarket, so be careful of catching a cold."

Gu Yuan whispered "Mmm" a few times, and strode towards the area dedicated to daily necessities.

The four people who were too late to pay, each of them wiped their bodies with a clean new towel, folded them again and placed them on the cashier counter under the surprised eyes of the cashier.

"We bought these towels, and put them here first." Gu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to the girl at the cash register, and directly turned around and dragged Xu Yue into the food area on the other side.

Xu Yue watched as the red shopping basket in his hand went from empty to full, and finally was forcibly replaced by Gu Yuan. It was obviously very heavy, and Gu Yuan's palms were bleeding and turning white, but he couldn't even frown. Never wrinkled.

"Is it enough? Are you able to finish all these things?" Xu Yue tried his best to persuade Gu Yuan, whose eyes wandered in and out of the shelves.

"Enough? Let's go."

When Li Ranran and the others pushed the shopping cart out from behind another row of shelves, Xu Yue froze in place.He stepped forward and took a look.

"Li Ranran, I suddenly feel that these you bought are not snacks at all."

"What's that?" Li Ranran was a little curious, and reached out to put the three umbrellas on the top of the cart on the cash register.

"Full body fat." Xu Yue snapped his fingers.

"Xu Yue, you don't need to save him face at all, just talk about fat." Gu Yuan smiled slightly.

Li Ranran rolled his eyes and ignored the two people standing next to each other.

Gu Yuan held a heavy red plastic shopping box in his left hand, and a large bag of potato chips in his right hand.

"Why did you buy this?" Xu Yue couldn't help asking, "Can't you just buy a pack of potato chips?"

"This gift bag seems to be scratchable, look." Gu Yuan raised his arm and said angrily, and quickly smiled at Xu Yue, "Did you see it? There is a red scroll at the bottom, and you have to pay for it by then." I'll scratch it for you."

"How old are you and you still play this game...and under normal circumstances, the probability of winning a lottery with this kind of thing is only 10% at most." Xu Yue suddenly realized that the childish aura of the boy standing beside him really won't disappear with his age , can sometimes do incredible things.

There will always be unspeakable surprises or frights.

"It doesn't matter, let's just scratch and play anyway. What if you are lucky and win the lottery?" Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously, and threw the potato chip combination gift bag in his hand on the cashier counter.

After all the bills were settled, Gu Yuan tore open the gift pack of potato chips roughly on the spot, and without hesitation, grabbed the long red roll in the middle with his fingertips and pulled it out from the bottom.

"Come on, Xu Yue, you are lucky. You come."

Xu Yue sighed, and lightly scratched the edge of the round nail with her little finger twice.

thank

thank

……

"...Let's see." Xu Yue stopped, looked at the two big "thank you" characters on the winning ticket, and shrugged, "I told you that I definitely won't win."

Xu Yue took the bag from Gu Yuan's hand, propped up the newly bought umbrella with the other hand, and saw the disappointment in Gu Yuan's eyes when he went down the steps and looked back.

But think about it, hope has turned into disappointment, and this sense of gap is indeed easy to cause such negative emotions.

Gu Yuan happened to be in such a state at this time.

But Gu Yuan frowned quickly, still unwilling to give up.Even though he had already seen the two words "Thanks" with a sarcastic meaning, he decided to scrape out the remaining two words as well.

It is Gu Yuan's principle that one must die to understand.

He touched the tip of his nose and sucked it twice, unfolded the winning scroll and pressed it against the wall, leaned forward a little, Gu Yuan continued to scrape down at the same position.

"I don't believe it yet, thank you for nothing, I thank you and your family!...Eh? Me? Fuck me???...Win? Win the lottery?????" Gu Yuan jumped up excitedly, holding a red The winning ticket was squeezed into Xu Yue's umbrella.

"Xu Yue! Look! It's actually 'Thank you for winning the prize'!"

"I'll go...it's okay? What kind of luck are you..." Xu Yue was surprised, took the winning ticket and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly stuffed it into Gu Yuan's trouser pocket. "I'll change it next time. I can't take back so many things today."

"Okay!" Gu Yuan's face was still brimming with joy, his eyes lit up, and when he looked at Xu Yue, the stars hidden in his eyes began to appear little by little unexpectedly.

"Xu Yue."

"Huh?" Xu Yue turned his face sideways.

"I've always thought that it was because of my good luck that I met you." Gu Yuan said seriously.
