cloud and sun

For the next few days, Qiao An played games with Cheng Xu, and when he was tired, he went downstairs to grab a watermelon spoon and eat while watching a movie.

Joan felt that there was no difference between these days and the summer he spent in Shanghai, but he also felt that there was something different.

Qiao An and Cheng Xu got stuck. The main reason was that Cheng Xu was too good. When Qiao An was still trying to teach Xu how to operate, there was a sudden loud noise.

"It's thundering."

"Ah, I haven't confiscated my clothes yet, wait for me to collect them." Joan hurriedly got up to save his clothes.The summer rain was too heavy, and he would get wet even if he hung his clothes on the balcony, so he brought a few sets of clothes.

"Then stop playing, or my mother will come up and tell me to shut it down in a while."

Joan felt how strong the wind was on the top floor, and sure enough his clothes were blown to the ground.It hadn't started raining before Joan finished collecting his clothes.Cheng Xu was blowing air on the roof.

"It's so windy!" Joan said loudly, the wind messing up his hair.It's still Cheng Xu who doesn't move when the wind blows through his cropped hair.

Qiao An saw that the petals of the climbing roses in his yard were blown away one after another, and the trees in the yard were also swaying from side to side, looking like they might break if they were not careful.

The sky was very dark and the clouds were very low. Joan found that the heavy rain here seemed to be more violent. He thought it might be because he could see the flowers and trees struggling in the wind.The reinforced concrete of the city seems to be unable to be shaken by the storm.

Qiao An put her hand on Cheng Xu's shoulder and said, "Will there be hail?"

"I don't know. If your shed is hit by hail, it will be difficult to repair."

"The tree in front looks like it's going to be blown away."

"The rain seems to be coming, go in!"

The two ran into the house, and it rained heavily behind them.The thunder did not stop.Qiao An watched the lightning in the distance hovering in the valley, and thought of the doomsday scene in the TV series.

The two watched the rain on the stairs for a while, then closed the door and entered the house.Cheng Xu had already turned off the computer, and Cheng Xu's mother told everyone in the corridor to unplug it.

The light in Cheng Xu's room was not turned on, and the room was completely dark.Joan sat on a chair and watched the heavy rain outside while eating the unfinished watermelon.

The heavy rain hit the glass, and indeed Joan heard a crackling sound.

"Brother Xu is hail?"

"should be."

"I'll go to the roof to pick up a few, I haven't seen them yet."

After Joan finished speaking, he ran up, and when he opened the door, he was hit on the head by hail.Joan quickly closed the door.

Cheng Xu snickered from behind: "Why are you so stupid?"

Qiao An ignored Cheng Xu, went into the house and continued eating watermelon.The noise outside was quieter, it should be the end of the hailstorm.The rain was not as heavy as before, but the thunder continued.

Cheng Xu also moved a chair to the window and sat with Qiao An.

"When it rained heavily when we were young, we would sit in the yard and watch the rain, and then your grandma would tell us stories about the past."

Joan has a little impression, but he doesn't remember what story grandma told at that time.

"Do you remember the story grandma told?"

"Your grandma told a lot of stories. I don't remember what it was, but you didn't dare sleep alone that night."

Joan can probably think of what kind of story it is: "My grandma must be good at telling stories, otherwise how could she scare me?"

Cheng Xu smiled and didn't say anything, it's inevitable that he would miss him at this time.

Joan curled up on the chair and said, "I miss my grandparents!"

Cheng Xu rubbed Qiao An's head.

When Cheng Xu's mother entered the room and saw the two of them watching the rain, she asked them to go down to play.

"Auntie, do you remember the story my grandma told us when it rained?"

"I don't remember either, but Auntie can tell you. What our generation lacks most is stories."

Cheng Xu turned around and said, "Mom, you haven't even told me your story."

"Come on, come downstairs to play with me. I'll tell you tonight."

The group of uncles and aunts moved a chair and sat at the door chatting.Seeing Cheng Xu and the others come down, quickly let them join the chat.

"We're talking about the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination results will come out in a few days. Some of us are leaving."

"Many children have told me recently that they are afraid that they will not do well in the exam when their grades come out."

Joan said: "I remember that when they were so young, I was also very nervous about their grades. Looking back now, it's actually nothing."

Cheng Xu kept poking Qiao An and said, "But they're still young, so it's normal to feel uneasy."

"How are the children in your class doing?"

"I think it should be okay. Every time a class of students is sent away, it feels like something is missing."

Joan thought of his graduation, as if everything was in a hurry, and he didn't feel too sentimental at that time.Listening to these uncles and aunts talking about graduating from high school now, I can remember a little bit of the feeling at that time.When he was in high school, he thought that college was the beginning of his youth, but now he recalled that his entire youth was in high school.

Qiao An leaned close to Cheng Xu's ear and whispered, "Brother Xu, tell me about your crush in high school!"

Cheng Xu pretended not to hear.Qiao An started to poke Cheng Xu, and Cheng Xu felt that Qiao An had never taken an EQ class.

"Then tell me what you were doing in high school first."

"Just go to class every day, do homework, and then play games with friends during the holidays."

"It's really boring."

"It's fine if you don't tell me, and say I'm boring."

The group of uncles and aunts noticed the two whispering aside and asked Qiao An: "What are you two whispering about?"

"Hmm... Brother Xu and I were talking about our high school days. But in retrospect, there was really nothing spectacular, basically just attending classes and doing homework."

"Many of my former students said the same thing, and then I asked him what he was doing in Nostalgia High School, and he said he didn't know either."

"Maybe I was more innocent in high school, and I saw my classmates every day."

"An'an, are you tired from high school in Shanghai?"

"Well, it's just as tiring! How can anyone not be tired in high school?"

The lights in the hall suddenly went out, and Cheng Xu's mother got up and lit a candle.

"There's a power outage. Probably a wire down the road."

Joan hasn't encountered a power outage yet: "Then when will it come?"

Cheng Xu said, "We'll have to wait until the rain stops for someone to fix it."

"It feels like the rain won't stop today."

"Pray that someone will fix it tomorrow!"

Joan's phone ran out of battery just after playing for a while, so he left his seat and called his mother.

The voice on the phone was very noisy: "Hey son, I'm shopping for vegetables in the supermarket! When are you coming back?"

"I may have a few more days! There is a power outage here, and my phone is going to be turned off."

"Then hang up! I still need to buy vegetables."

"Mom, don't you miss me?"

"Don't talk about these things, I'll hang up, bye."

The phone call was ruthless and hung up quickly.Joan doubted that no one would care if he didn't go back.

Because it was too dark in the room for dinner, Cheng Xu's father made it very simple and made everyone a small portion of Chongqing noodles.

A few candles were lit on the table, and the fire flickered, which was very romantic.The uneven sucking sounds came and went one after another, forming an inexplicable synergy with the firelight.

Qiao An whispered to Cheng Xu: "Our candlelight dinner is small noodles, and everyone is still smoking."

"But you can eat enough." Cheng Xu's words reminded Qiao An of his tragic experience of blind dates before, and suddenly felt that smoking by candlelight was a high-level romance.

After dinner, Qiao An took Cheng Xu's mother to tell her her story, and Cheng Xu's mother took Qiao An and Cheng Xu to their room.Qiao An leaned against Cheng Xu and spread out on the sofa together.Cheng Xu's mother occupied the other half of the sofa by herself.

"What story do you want to hear from me?"

"A story about you and your uncle."

Cheng Xu's mother smiled: "Your uncle and I met on a blind date and got married. There is no story."

"What happened to Auntie before she met Uncle?"

"Well, this matter is related to your father. Your father and I have had a good relationship since we were young. Although our two families have nothing to do with each other, I have always wanted to marry your father since I was a child. In the end, your father said I ran away to Shanghai without saying a word. At that time, I still had a marriage contract, but the contract was broken later. Then I wanted to find your father, but I bought the wrong ticket and went to Guangzhou."

"Auntie, does my father know about this?"

"Your dad probably doesn't know, I haven't told him about it. But after I went to Guangzhou, I started to understand a lot of things, and then I found someone I really like."

Only then did Cheng Xu speak: "Mom, so it wasn't my father that you liked at first!"

"How many relationships can't your mother be allowed?"

"Auntie, did you go to Guangzhou alone?"

"Yeah, I went alone. I didn't understand anything at first, and I was almost cheated. But then I met someone who treated me very well, but we still didn't get together in the end."

"Why?"

"Because he was going back to his hometown to get married, his parents had already made a marriage contract for him. Later, I changed from a teenage girl to an old girl in her twenties."

"Still very young!"

"At that time, I was an old girl. I met another person, but we still couldn't get together due to various reasons, and then my mother let me go home. After returning home, I met many relatives but failed. I I didn't like the other party, the other party thought I was old. Then I met your uncle, I thought he was pretty, and then I got married."

Qiao An thought that the story between Cheng Xu's mother and the person she met later must be very touching, so much so that Cheng Xu's mother couldn't explain why the two of them didn't get together in the end after so many years, but life is like this, constantly missing and letting go .

Cheng Xu's father came in at some time, sat on a chair beside him with a flashlight, and seemed to have listened for a long time.

Cheng Xu noticed that his father had come in, so he dragged Qiao An away.

Although the light source in the room was only the flashlight in Cheng Xu's father's hand, Qiao An vaguely saw Cheng Xu's parents looking at each other and smiling, but felt that maybe it was his imagination.

Cheng Xu dragged Qiao An upstairs in the darkness, Qiao An grabbed Cheng Xu's clothes and didn't dare to let go, he was afraid that he would accidentally slip.

"Why don't you turn on a flashlight?"

"Save electricity. There may not be electricity tomorrow."

Qiao An felt dizzy when he thought that his mobile phone was only [-]% charged: "Then my mobile phone will be turned off."

The rain outside hadn't stopped, and the lightning pierced the sky and became the only light source in the room.

Joan yawned: "I'm going back to take a shower."

"It's easy to catch a cold without hot water in the bath, let's take a bath tomorrow!"

"Then I'm going back to sleep, bye."

After walking a few steps, he tripped over a chair beside him.Cheng Xu gave Qiao An a hand, but didn't.

Qiao An turned on the flashlight of the phone with the heart to cut flesh, and found that Cheng Xu was actually smiling.Although Qiao An admits that Cheng Xu's smile is deceptive, he still has to feel that Cheng Xu's behavior is very unkind.

"You secretly mocked me."

Cheng Xu was good at blocking the light from Qiao An: "I didn't."

Joan was a little sleepy just now, but when he looked at his phone, he found that it was only past eight o'clock, so he turned off the flashlight and sat back in his original seat.

"Brother Xu, do you think this is a good time to watch ghost movies?" Then a thunderclap startled Qiao An.

"Well, but there is no internet."

"Isn't your phone still charged?"

Of course, Joan has another consideration, that is, he cannot be the only one with a dead phone.

Cheng Xu put his hand on Qiao An's shoulder and asked Qiao An, "Are you sure?"

Joan nodded: "I'm bold."

Cheng Xu sighed, he found that Qiao An is good at many things and loves to play.

Cheng Xu chose "Kunyan Pond", and the two of them lay on the bed, placing their mobile phones in the middle of the bed.

Before watching the movie for a few minutes, there was a loud thunder outside the window, and Qiao An quickly wrapped him in a quilt.Cheng Xu couldn't be bothered to fight with him, so he turned over another blanket and wrapped it up.

"Ah~~~ damn it!"

"My mother~"

Qiao An's screams came from time to time, and Cheng Xu didn't know whether Qiao An was really fascinated or scared, but it sounded like Qiao An was very happy watching.

It rained heavily again, and there was lightning and thunder outside. The movie was just in the superb part, and Qiao An hid directly under the quilt.Cheng Xu lifted Qiao An's cover, which happened to prevent Qiao An from missing the high-energy part.

"Ah~~~ help!" Qiao An grabbed Cheng Xu's hand.

"Cheng Xu, what are you doing?"

"If you don't let it, you'll miss the exciting part."

Qiao An's mind is now full of the picture he just saw, and there is still thunder and lightning outside.

Qiao An thought that Cheng Xu would help him block it last time, so this time, let him not miss it, it can be seen that Cheng Xu has a dark belly.

Cheng Xu actually didn't expect that kind of scene to appear the next second when he lifted the quilt, he just wanted to tease Qiao An.

After watching the movie, Joan regretted it a little because he was a little scared.Seeing Qiao An hiding under the quilt, Cheng Xu regretted letting him watch ghost movies.

"Sleep here tonight, it's still raining outside, it's not convenient to go back."

Qiao An felt that Cheng Xu really understood him.

Qiao An didn't fall asleep after sleeping for a while, and turned around to find that Cheng Xu wasn't asleep either.

"Brother Xu, are you thinking about something?"

"daze."

"What were you doing when the power went out?"

"Also in a daze."

Joan smiled lightly: "No wonder you are so stupid."

Cheng Xu pinched Qiao An's face and said, "How can I stay with you?"

Qiao An pulled Cheng Xu's hand away, and played with Cheng Xu's hand with both hands. Qiao An didn't know what he was doing, but it was fun anyway.

Cheng Xu wanted to withdraw his hand, but hesitated for a while, and finally let Qiao An play.

"good night!"

If Cheng Xu spoke normally, he would be very gentle, and Qiao An also replied softly: "Good night!"
