mark of the rain gl

The weather in Boston in mid-October has turned cold, the cold wind outside is particularly strong, the branches are blown wobbly, and there is a tendency to gradually enter the cold winter.

At 6 p.m., the sky was completely white, as if as long as the fog gets bigger, the whole city will welcome the arrival of snowflakes.

A group of college students just walked out of the BU (Boston University for short) school building. Robert walked in front of them and said in American English with a strong accent:

"Guys, we are now taking the Green Line subway to Chinatown. Today is Sunday. There are a lot of people at this time. Be careful when you get off the bus."

Robert is a member of the External Relations Department of the Student Union. He is responsible for leading overseas exchange students to visit nearby attractions. He has short red hair, freckles on his fair face, very light eyebrows, and three-dimensional facial features. , is friendly to people on weekdays, and can speak a little simple Chinese.

A group of people entered the subway, except for them, there were other college students and employees who had just got off work, the space was a little crowded, various mixed scents of perfume broke into Xiao Yu's nostrils, she frowned slightly.

Su Man and Xiao Yu first found the only vacant seat with sharp eyes, and they sat down side by side. Su Man sighed while fastening the scarf and said:

"Hey, Xiao Yu, the temperature difference between morning and night is really too big recently, isn't it just getting ready for winter, you don't know, I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night last night."

Xiao Yu lightly curled her pear dimples, her long and curled eyelashes were flooded by the light from the car window, "After all, this place is near the Atlantic Ocean, the climate will be affected to some extent, and the temperature will also become faster."

Suman tore open the package of a piece of chocolate, raised his eyebrows slightly, and put the chocolate into his mouth, "Then I don't have enough thick clothes, we need to buy some for later."

"Well, that's good." Xiao Yu replied softly.

She turned her head and looked out of the car window. The subway was walking along the tracks, and the water surface of Lake Charles not far away was sparkling. it's beautiful."

In addition to the beautiful scenery of the scenery itself, there is another reason why Xiao Yu prefers this place so much...

This used to be the city where her lover stayed.

Walking the road she walked, listening to the songs she listened to, falling in love with a city because of one person, all these things are so beautiful that even words cannot describe them.

She just couldn't help it, and wanted to get to know Qiu Zixin better through various aspects.

When Xiao Yu was walking on the road, she often wondered, could this street be the place where Qiu Zixin once walked?

The spiked boots stepped on the street full of dead leaves, and the cool wind brushed over Xiao Yu's cheek, as if Qiu Zixin was gently stroking her face.

During the days of leaving, Xiao Yu missed Qiu Zixin a lot.

It was so overflowing that there was nowhere to put it.

Qiu Zixin's figure is constantly appearing in every corner of her life.

Maybe when you hear someone playing the piano around you.

Maybe it was when I saw the tall and thin back of a similar woman.

Maybe it was when I smelled a clear fragrance similar to that of a woman.

Every time Xiao Yu raises her head in a daze, the corners of her lips sink in helplessly, and then her little head lowers again.

Not her... Her Qiu Zixin is not here.

The pale yellow sunset was gradually setting, and Xiao Yu's group arrived in Chinatown. The Chinatown archway at the main entrance was engraved with the four characters of "The world is for the public". Robert led them into the market, "There are three main streets here. Hundreds of shops are relatively deserted during the day, but there are many people at night.”

"We are free to move about now, and we will meet at the gate when the time is up." Robert lifted up his red hair and said, everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy.

"By the way, be careful with your wallets, there are occasional guys with dirty hands here."

He clapped his hands and glanced in Xiao Yu's direction, "Well, remember to protect yourself, I wish you a pleasant journey!"

The orange-red sky has become low, and the crowds are beginning to gather. The whole street is filled with the scent of hot pot and barbecue restaurants. Rows of orange-yellow lanterns are hung above the head. People here speak casually in Cantonese. Conversing with each other, Xiao Yu will feel very cordial when she comes here.

Ah Hang, Xiao Yu and the others walked together, and the three of them shuttled through the bustling market, buying all kinds of snacks that can only be found in China. Xiao Yu stood outside a small and popular shop, holding a The roasted gluten was eaten with relish, while Suman and Ah Hang were still queuing inside.

The night sky is full of stars, in this foreign city, it is rare for Xiao Yu to feel the familiar atmosphere and feelings.

The girl is wearing a light blue long-sleeved sweater tonight, and a long white pleated skirt underneath. The moonlight shines into her starry eyes. The atmosphere, the heart is wrapped in warmth.

Here, it is full of fireworks in the world.

When she was young, Wen Yujie and Mr. Xiao seldom took her out, even if they did travel, they would never take her to such a lively place. Every time Xiao Yu sat in the car and saw the bustling scene on the side of the road, she always lay down on her stomach. Looking in front of the car window, his eyes were full of longing for freedom when he was young.

Later, that is, now, when she met Qiu Zixin, her longing for the outside world was suddenly weakened.

Most of the time, she actually just wanted to stay by Qiu Zixin's side.

If possible, she wants to be with her family and lover at the same time.

Maybe it's because she has never been particularly favored or spoiled since she was a child, so when a relationship enters her world, Xiao Yu will cherish it and be very persistent.

She is a very affectionate child, and she will always hide in her arms and love what she gets.

So she is willing to give up all the temptations of the outside world for the one she loves.

Conversely, if her lover's wishes are contrary to hers, she will compromise herself and listen to the other's ideas.

Xiao Yu lowered her head and took a mouthful of gluten, the spicy and cumin taste melted happily in her mouth, Xiao Yu was so happy to eat that she almost jumped up shaking her head.

"Wow! So hot! So fragrant!" Suman's voice came from behind.

"Hold on tight, you really... actually bought six boxes of stinky tofu in one go, isn't it poisonous to you?" Ah Hang's voice followed.

"What's the matter, I haven't eaten stinky tofu for several months!!" Su Man replied with his tongue.

The two of them had take-out boxes in their hands. Suman was holding a box of delicious and hot black-skinned stinky tofu. With stars in his eyes, he opened his mouth eagerly to take a big bite, and then praised happily:

"Ah!!! It's so delicious! I would like to call it Peng Yuyan of the food world!!!"

There are three black lines on Ah Hang's forehead, "A flamboyant woman...!"

"Only you dare to say me? Give me the trick! Ha~!" Suman swallowed a mouthful of stinky tofu, and then used a 'poison gas attack' on Ah Hang...

Xiao Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing her, Su Man ran forward and put one hand around her neck, "What are you laughing at, little wax gourd!"

Xiao Yu's face immediately changed when she heard the words, since she grew taller, it has been a long time since no one dared to call her that!

She puffed up her cheeks and choked fiercely, "You are the little wax gourd! You are still the little papaya, the cucumber, the pumpkin!!!"

Suman and Ah Hang laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

Before leaving Chinatown, Xiao Yu asked Su Man to take a photo for her. The soft light at night surrounded the girl's body, Xiao Yu's dimples shone, and she opened her arms, as if she was welcoming something.

During the first month of leaving, Xiao Yu would take the initiative to share with Qiu Zixin her university life in Boston, including her class time, and exchange thoughts with the team members after the interview.

Her accommodation in BU is a single room. This is a country with a high degree of diversity and tolerance. Massachusetts is the first state in the United States to legally marry gays. The BU school often holds banquets for national festivals on weekends, with different skin colors People from all over the world gather together, speaking the unique and charming language of each party.

Here, everyone can express their feelings as they like, without fear of the eyes and speeches of the outside world.

Due to the time difference, the two people's work and rest time are not quite the same, their communication is only text messages, after the text messages are sent, Xiao Yu usually wakes up in the morning to see Qiu Zi's new reply.

Qiu Zixin has fully recovered from her hand injury, and her work is back on track.

The lives of the two are like parallel lines. Although they don't touch each other, they know each other is well.

In the third month of each other, Xiao Yu and the team members implemented a practical project called paraprefessional, that is, they went to another high school to become a teacher's assistant, responsible for assisting the teacher in correcting exam papers, recording grades, guiding and answering students' academic problems etc.

After a long time, Qiu Zixin finally appeared on the variety show again. She changed her hair color. The original smog brown was dyed wine red. The atmosphere has settled down again.

Wearing a white shirt and a long black skirt, she had a slight smile on her face when facing the camera and interviews, and frankly told how she adjusted her mentality during the car accident last year and the stage of returning to work.

The two were busy with each other, and the frequency of contact with each other gradually slowed down.

Xiao Yu still maintains the habit of sending photos to Qiu Zixin. Qiu Zixin will reply her a few words when she is free, and then pause the conversation by saying that she has to go to work.

Every time Xiao Yu didn't have time to ask Qiu Zixin when she would come to see her.

The woman has already disappeared.

Entering the fifth month, the end of the year is coming, and snowflakes are falling outside the window.

Xiao Yu had just finished talking on the New Year's phone with her family, and a group of friends in the dormitory went out to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Suman's dormitory was a six-person room, and the residents in it were all exchange students from different countries. Xiao Yu joked that her building was simply a small United Nations.

"I'm really looking forward to the fireworks tonight! It's my first New Year's Eve abroad, it must be awesome!" Suman took Xiao Yu for a stroll along the shore of Lake Charles, where there were several cruise ships parked, and they seemed to be driving for New Year's Eve party.

The night was very thick, and the climate at the end of the year was very cold. There were crowds of people by Lake Charles, all of them were waiting for the fireworks show at 12 o'clock in the morning.

Suman hooked Xiao Yu's arm, and a cloud of mist dispersed in the air as he spoke, "Xiao Yu, do you want us to go on the cruise ship too, where there are some friends of mine, let's all get together and have a good time?"

The tip of Xiao Yu's nose was slightly reddish, her small face was hidden in a velvet hat, "I..."

"Come on, come on, after tonight you will be considered a little adult, you should see the world more." Suman said with a smile, her hair has been grown a lot, it happened to reach the shoulders.

"Wow ha ha ha! Just right, maybe my sister and I will have a wonderful encounter tonight!" Suman said with a sinister smile, the corners of his mouth cracked to his temples.

Xiao Yu: "..." Su Man half-pushed and half-brought her up.

There was a rave party on the cruise ship, Xiao Yu couldn't stand it after staying inside for a few minutes, and ran to the deck outside to look at the sky.

The sky is very dark tonight, with little snowflakes and mist covering the stars and moon in the night sky. Xiao Yu squeezed the phone in her hand, not knowing how many times she checked the information today.

I sent Qiu Zi a new year's greeting last night, and the other party has not replied until now.

Xiao Yu drooped her head lowly, like a depressed little animal, wearing heavy clothes, huddled in the cold night.

"Xiao Yu, why did you run out by yourself?" When Su Man was having fun inside, he suddenly found that Xiao Yu was gone.She put back on her jacket, walked out quickly, and saw Xiao Yu standing alone on the deck.

"I thought you ran away with some stinky guy! I was scared to death." Suman stroked his chest and said.

Looking at the prosperity and hustle and bustle in the city, Xiao Yu's heart was blocked, and she complained to Qiu Zixin with a little resentment in her heart.

She really wanted to know what Qiu Zixin was doing now...

She thought, maybe it was because Qiu Zixin was still busy with work that delayed their New Year's contact with each other.

But...are you really so busy that you can't even reply to a message...?

Or, she was accompanying Ms. Yang, and Xiao Yu hoped that the latter was the reason. She understood that Qiu Zixin actually had a side of relying on her family and wanting to be loved by others.

Because everyone is a girl, but Qiu Zixin just doesn't know how to show it.

Su Man didn't notice Xiao Yu's emotions, she just admired the scenery on the shore, "There is a beautiful sister over there...she seems to be looking at you all the time..."

Xiao Yu was still immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't hear what Su Man said clearly. She wanted to call Qiu Zixin, but...she always had some worries in her heart.

She was worried that she would disturb Qiu Zixin.

If Qiu Zixin was with her family now, she shouldn't have called her;

If Qiu Zixin was working now, she couldn't even call her.

In the early hours of the morning, before the fireworks were over, Xiao Yu finally mustered up the courage to dial out the call.

The girl's feeling of uneasiness and excitement and anticipation was hung high on the tip of her heart.

The call rang for a long time, but Qiu Zixin finally didn't answer.

The feeling of joy and emptiness oppressed Xiao Yu's heart, she could only comfort herself in her heart, maybe Qiu Zixin had fallen asleep, she didn't look at her phone, if she saw her missed call If you call, she will definitely call back...

The next evening, Qiu Zixin simply replied:

【Happy New Year. 】

There are no old-fashioned blessings, no calling her a child, and even no emoticons Qiu Zixin will send her any more.

Xiao Yu stared at the text message in silence, for a moment, she didn't know what to reply.

The conversation between the two fell into the endless abyss again.

In the seventh month, the New Year is approaching, and Boston has been blizzarded for days, BU was forced to close, and the school notified the suspension of classes. According to the Meteorological Bureau, the heavy snow will continue for the next week, and it is likely to flood the entire city. (It means that the entire road is covered with snow and vehicles cannot move.)

Xiao Yu stayed in the dormitory, Suman invited her and other classmates to open a hot pot game in the dormitory to create atmosphere and celebrate the festival.Ah Hang and the boys bought ingredients from a nearby supermarket, and the girls were in charge of cooking. A group of people moved a round table, prepared dishes and sat down together.

Snowflakes are falling all over the sky outside, and the heat inside the house warms people's hearts.

The laughter continued one after another.

They make a mandarin duck pot, one side is a clear soup with wolfberry and ginseng, and the other side is a spicy hot pot.

The table is richly arranged, thinly sliced ​​fat beef, mutton rolls and bacon, delicious cod fillets, clams, fresh shrimp, vegetables and mushrooms that should be available, and the plates are stacked high on the table.

"My God! Ah Hang, you didn't even buy coriander!?" Suman suddenly screamed.

"This... you didn't tell me that I wanted to buy it, and... coriander is not tasty, that taste really makes me..." Ah Hang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, pinched among people.

"It's unpalatable!??? My God, eating hot pot with coriander is a peerless delicacy, you know!? A hot pot without coriander means no soul!" Suman stood up cursingly, looking like he was going to fight Ah Hang for the coriander.

Ah Hang was pulled by Su Man's ears, and shouted for help, the onlookers laughed out loud, and Xiao Yu, too, laughed so hard that her dimples trembled, her smiling eyes were filled with the beauty of this world.

Seeing her laughing, Ah Hang also cooperated with Su Man, shouting louder and more exaggeratedly, almost everyone in the dormitory could hear a man who claimed to be 24K pure gold, screaming in the middle of the night until he was weak... ....

Xiao Yu took a piece of scalded cauliflower, blew on the hot air, put it in her mouth, and chewed it in small bites, as obediently as a bunny.

During this month, Xiao Yu didn't take the initiative to contact Qiu Zixin, and Qiu Zixin didn't look for her again. Xiao Yu was angry in her heart. She clearly hoped that Qiu Zixin would come to find her, but the other party didn't show any obvious signs.

Thinking of Qiu Zixin, Xiao Yu was helpless except that she was full of melancholy, and she didn't know how else she could force Qiu Zixin to face herself frankly.

She hoped that Qiu Zixin would love her; but she didn't want to embarrass Qiu Zixin.

Their hug before leaving, and Qiu Zixin's tolerance for her to hold her hand, these...doesn't it prove that they are not completely impossible, maybe Qiu Zixin is already ready to accept her, isn't it? .....

Hiss! Xiao Yu suddenly bit the root of her tongue, she burst into tears in pain, and a pitiful reality suddenly jumped out of her heart.

she just...

Do you use 'tolerance' to describe Qiu Zixin's attitude towards her...?

The classmates sitting next to Xiao Yu saw her weeping, were frightened from the bottom of their hearts, and asked her what was wrong with concern one after another.

This made Xiao Yu very embarrassed and embarrassing, she kept wiping away the tears that poured out, with a wronged smile on her lips, "I'm just... I was smoked by the hot pot... It's nothing... Really...don't talk to me..."

No. 11 months, during the summer vacation, Xiao Yu returned to Q City.

A servant in the family got married, and Wen Yujie wrapped a large red envelope to congratulate her. Mr. Xiao's family members all attended her banquet, and the bride was particularly eye-catching that night.

Sister Cai has been with them for a long time, and her relationship is naturally as deep as her own family. She hugged the bride and wept, and she was completely reluctant to let her go, "I will live a good life with him in the future..."

"If you encounter anything, you can tell us...Xiao's family will support you."

Xiao Yu stood beside Wen Yujie, and Mr. Xiao sighed, "Hey... If Xiaozhu of our family gets married in the future, we will probably have to cry for three days and three nights... "

Wen Yujie smiled helplessly, "I think more than..."

Xiao Yu lowered her head and remained silent, looking at her own shadow on the ground covered by the street lamp.

I heard from Sister Cai that Qiu Zixin did not come back to Q City for the New Year this year. It seems that it is because of work and other personal relationships. Apart from the screen, everyone rarely sees her in real life.

The deadline for Xiaoyu’s exchange student has come to an end. This year, she took the lead in completing her credits and received a recommendation letter from a local professor after graduation. Xiaoyu knew exactly what direction she was going to go. Translation was her passion, and it was also a hot dream. , so she chose to stay in Boston for further studies and entered BU to continue her 2-year Master of Translation (MTI) course.

Xiao Yu and Qiu Zixin have not been in touch for several months. She has stayed in Boston for nearly a year, and her horizons have indeed broadened a lot. Cooking skills have also improved a lot.

After a whole year, Xiao Yu's heart finally sank.

She finally woke up.

She finally fully understood Qiu Zixin's true intentions.

Her Qiu Zixin.

Never come to her.

Never again.

On the days when the planets do not meet, the sun rises and sets as usual, and the moon has cloudy and sunny phases as usual.

Everything in Xiao Yu's life in Boston is going smoothly. She has her long hair down to her waist and has been dyed light brown. She is sitting by the window in the library, wearing a white shirt with black short hair A long skirt of the same color shaded her fair legs.

Some juniors and juniors came to her to discuss academics. She dimpled slightly and began to explain to the other party with a faint smile.

When she was speaking, her eyebrows were lowered, her thick eyelashes curled up, and her voice was gentle and soft. Some students even came to visit her a few times in the name of discussion.

During the vacation, she went out to play with friends she met at school, took a few group photos with everyone, and posted them on Moments, and set a few single photos so that only Qiu Zixin could see them.

I really hope that Qiu Zixin can see it.

In the first ten days of autumn, the rain is heavy and the sky is dark.

The cold wind blew, and the rain bounced gently on the top of the umbrella. Wearing a nude long trench coat, Xiao Yu walked in a park near the college.When she came to the fountain in the center of the park, there was no one around, only a group of gray and white or solid-colored pigeons on the lawn accompanied her.

The water splashed from the fountain touched Xiao Yu's face, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and she stood there thinking for a long time.

She held the phone, and her fingertips hovered over the familiar number repeatedly.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, determined in her heart, that phone call carried her last courage, and she dialed Qiu Zixin.

But this time, the call was finally connected.
