On the bone

It was overcast and cloudy for seven consecutive days, and the humid and stuffy air made it impossible to breathe freely. No matter when you looked up at the sky, you would feel like God was holding back a big move.

Xia Pei still goes back and forth between the shop and home every day. The weather forecast says that there will be rare thunderstorms in the next ten days. The heavy rain turns to heavy rain, and the heavy rain turns to moderate rain. It will last for a long time.

Strictly speaking, the small shop of grandma’s good friend is not very legal, it’s just a small shed built privately, using the most economical building materials. Paint, waterproof glue, thick cotton cloth and some professional tools, and some planks and strips tied with bandages to the rear frame.

Xia Pei would support the handlebar with one hand and the other behind, like an acrobat, drawing a dragon and walking all the way in the direction of the shop.

It's not that he didn't realize that there was always a white Audi following him not far behind.

The Audi drove very slowly, was overtaken by many cars, and if it was a bad temper, it would put down the window and swear at it.

Sharpay knew who was driving.

He is too familiar with this car.

But he had nothing to say to Cheng Xinhai, and he didn't have the time. The rainstorm was coming, and the small shop couldn't be left alone. Even if Aunt Liu hadn't called his grandma overseas and begged to take care of the small shop, Xia Pei would do his best to protect it. Jie, over the past month or so, he has developed a feeling for it.

Does this emotion include "the place where I first met Cheng Xinhai", Xia Pei didn't want to think about it.

The car just followed, no one came down from above, it would slowly accompany Xia Pei to the shop, stop there for a while, then drive away, come back at night to wait for Xia Pei to get off work, still drive slowly, and send Xia Pei home .

Xia Pei didn't think it was meaningful for Cheng Xinhai to do this, even though he didn't see his car when he left the shop after get off work one day, and he did stop, just for a while, just a few seconds.

This is the time quantifier that Xia Pei told himself.

The rain still came.

There was a thick rain curtain on the glass outside the window, and the sky and the earth were blurred. A flash of lightning suddenly pierced the sky and illuminated the earth.

Xia Pei opened his eyes wide and stared outside in a daze. Today he checked the shop one last time. He really did his best. He looked up at the clock on the wall. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon and it was completely dark.

He stayed in a daze for a while, changed from lying on the window sill to sitting on the bed in a daze, then he stood up, took out the poncho, and told grandma to take a look at the shop.

Of course grandma disagreed, but she still compromised in Xia Pei's repeated assurances that he would not be in danger and would come back after seeing it. She put on a bicycle and Xia Pei rode hard in the squalling rain.

When he came to the shop, he saw that it was no different from when he left. Xia Pei let go of half of his heart, stepped on the brick steps, and looked in through the window. The tenacious state of Little House and Tiandou.

The exposed windows were smeared with rain, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Wipe off the water from his face, pull out a piece of cuff from under the poncho and wipe it vigorously on the glass. Finally, he vaguely saw half a foot of water overflowing from the bottom of the shelf in the shop. His heart felt cold, and he immediately stretched his neck towards the Looking from the side of the high threshold, it is obvious that his production level is not up to standard, and the water is still poured in...

Before he could adjust his angle to take a closer look, a heavy force struck him, and he was thrown to the ground.

Lying on his back to bear the pouring rainwater, Xia Pei couldn't open his eyes at all. He turned his head to the side and barely saw a billboard less than half a meter away from him. .

The rectangular card holder is made of four frames of pure wood, with a sharp corner deeply embedded in the soil.

His brain couldn't function, and Xia Pei was basically in a daze until he heard a familiar voice yelling at him in a rough voice...

The arms propped up on both sides of his head, his body as strong as a wall, he wanted to turn his face to look at this person, but he was still unable to do so because of the rain, until Xia Pei was pulled up, he didn't really see Qing Cheng Xinhai's extremely angry face.

"Are you fucking crazy?! Are you looking for death in this kind of day?!"

Turning his head and glanced at the billboard again, Xia Pei finally understood how he walked past the gate of hell just now.

But what he said was: "In...in, the shop is flooded..."

"If you get in, you'll get in! Let it drown!" Picking up Xia Pei, Xin Hai dragged him towards the car: "Is life more important than this pile of junk?!...Come here for me!!" The poncho worn by the car was too slippery, and Xinxinhai let go of it all at once. Before Xia Pei could stand still, he dragged him down to the ground, slid for a while, and threw him into the car.

The poncho was dirty, full of water and mud. Xia Pei hurriedly got up from the seat but accidentally fell under the car seat. Kneeling in embarrassment to take off the poncho, the seat was still wet and muddy.

Chaotic weather, chaotic status quo.

Xia Pei kept patting the stain on the seat with his hands. He didn't know how to clean it. There was a movement from the car door, and he raised his head in response. A bath towel was thrown over like a cannonball, hitting his face with force.

With a groan, Xia Pei groaned, perhaps because he was startled by the bath towel or because he was intimidated by Cheng Xinhai's aura, he hugged his things and didn't make another sound.

The wind and rain were stronger outside the window, and the speed of the wipers could not keep up with the rush of water flowing from the roof. Just now, I intentionally ran out of the car and didn't take the rain gear. At this time, my whole body was soaked, and the water dripped down from the bottom of my trousers. The soles are slippery, stop the car, take off your shoes and socks, and drive barefoot.

Visibility was extremely low in rainy days, and Xinhai brushed back her wet hair, leaned forward, and focused on driving.

"Where...where are you going?" Xia Pei finally asked.

"my home."

Before Xia Pei could say anything, Cheng Xinhai said again, "My house is near here."

"No, I have to go home."

Glancing in the rearview mirror, Xinxinhai ignored him and continued to drive.

"I really have to go home..." Putting down the towel, Xia Pei's eyes were red: "My grandma will be worried."

Cheng Xinhai sneered, as if hearing some joke: "Can you still think of your grandma? It's not easy."

Xia Pei pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, a voice came out: "Just take me home, please."

Before the words were finished, the car turned, and it was Xia Pei who could recognize the way home.

The rain has not subsided, and it is still so torrential.

Driving into the community, driving to the building adjacent to the road, Xinxinhai yelled at the people in the back seat, covered his head with a towel, and rushed barefoot into the wind and rain.

He opened the rear door and escorted Xia Pei, who was wrapped in a bath towel, into the building.

The director shouted that it was ok, turn off the rain.

Walking out of the building, Mu Mingyi tore off the towel from Ning Huiran's head. Ning Huiran seemed to have something wrong with his eyes, and he kept rubbing his eyes under the towel.

Grabbing his wrist, Mu Mingyi didn't let him knead it any more, and asked if Yu Li in front of the machine had passed?

The other party nodded, and Mu Mingyi asked Ye Fei to bring eye drops.

The water in the rain truck was not very clean, and Mu Mingyi also felt it. Fortunately, he didn't have many shots to face the rain, but Ning Huiran helped him to sit on the chair. Mu Mingyi said to bear it.

"Trouble in both eyes?" Bowing his head and twisting the medicine bottle, Mu Mingyi suddenly thought of something, stopped and asked Ning Huiran, "Did I throw a towel over your eyes?"

"Yeah, that's right." Ning Huiran nodded his head twice as he raised his head and squinted his eyes, "You're too ruthless, I'm blind."

With a slap, a slap fell on the face. It didn't hurt but felt like being slapped. Ning Huiran was startled and immediately opened his eyes to look.

Mu Mingyi was laughing: "Say it again."

"Just you, you blinded."

Ning Huiran raised his face and put all his weight on the back of the chair. Mu Mingyi was behind him. He just pulled the man's face down with both hands. The direction of the two was opposite, but the hot air of lips and teeth could blend with each other. Mu Mingyi didn't let him go. , his hand went up again, but Ning Huiran resisted with a smile, knowing that it was inconvenient for Mu Mingyi to hold the eye drops, so he took the opportunity to grab his other hand...

"Hey! What are you doing?! If you want to apply the medicine, quickly apply it. Why are you kidding?!" Looking up from the machine, Yu Li shouted at them impatiently; "Do you have to wet the clothes after they are dry? Shower it again? Hurry up and get ready for the next one!"
