rain over the past year

"Aren't you going to explain?" Zhou Yu said, putting down the cup in his hand.Since coming back that night, Zhou Xuan has been out of his mind, often distracted, seems to be thinking about someone, just like now.

"Explain, what?" Zhou Xuan asked blankly.

Alas, sure enough, the word love hurts people.Zhou Yu shook his head secretly, completely forgetting that he seemed to have just fallen into the word "love" not long ago. "Why did you come to Jiangdong happily, but when you came home from the winter vacation, you were full of worries? And who is that Ajiu? Why did you tell me that Jiangdong's women are so heartless, and Jiangdong is full of parting?" Zhou Yu He spoke out all the doubts in his heart.

Zhou Xuan, who was in a daze, finally recovered after hearing a certain name, and turned to look at Zhou Yu.After a long time, he sighed softly, and then said softly, "Ajiu, it's the girl I love." Glancing at Zhou Yu's raised eyebrows from the corner of the eye, Zhou Xuan added consciously, "It's the same as you thought, It’s what I’m longing for, love at first sight.” Then, he motioned Zhou Yu to look at his cup with his chin, “Next, let’s start telling the story, you’d better fill up the water, and by the way, make me a cup of coffee.”

"I still drink coffee at night, don't you want to sleep?" Zhou Yu got up and picked up the cup on the coffee table, muttering and walking towards the kitchen.It seems to be like this when I was a child. Every time I pester my brother to tell a story, the two of them will each pour a large glass full of juice. After the story is finished, the glass is also empty.

Looking at his younger brother complaining there, Zhou Xuan shook his head helplessly.If he could, he really wanted to stay awake like this.The cruelty of reality is better than worrying about gains and losses in dreams.

Not long after, Zhou Yu sat across from Zhou Xuan with two cups in his hand, and pushed one of the cups in front of Zhou Xuan, "Stop the instant one first, and start telling the story."

He took a sip of the liquid in the glass, "This is just this time, don't say it next time." Then he looked out the window and asked softly, "You have been in Jiangdong for some time, you should know that there is a fountain in Central Park, right?" Didn't talk about that part In the past, such a question was raised.Zhou Yu resisted his curiosity and nodded cooperatively. "That's where I first met Ajiu."

Outside the house, a bright moon hung in the sky, and inside the house, a man slowly and softly told the story of the past.

The night is still very long.

On a sunny summer afternoon, there were very few pedestrians on the street.In addition to the chirping of cicadas, there is only the sound of wind blowing leaves in my ears.A handsome young man walked down the street looking left and right, and unknowingly came to a place that should be a park.Within the range of sight, a girl lowered her head as if looking for something.Without hurrying to think carefully, the boy's feet had already spontaneously moved towards the girl.

"Bang!" As he was approaching, a sound suddenly came from all around, followed by water droplets that could not be dodged.The boy immediately withdrew from the water circle. As for the girl, although the boy was avoiding the water droplets, she only hovered within a few steps around her, with a smile on her face.

"Aren't you coming out?" the boy asked.

"Ah! Haha!" The girl didn't seem to hear.

"Girl, aren't you coming out?" the boy said again, but this time he raised his voice, because he realized that the sound of water around him covered up his previous inquiry.

"Why did you come out?" The girl turned around and asked, "It's so fun! Haha!"

The moment the girl turned around, something seemed to tug at the boy's heartstrings, and the boy was stunned before he said, "I'm going to catch a cold!" Then he raised his leg and walked into the water curtain to pull the girl away. Come out, "Fun is fun, but it's not worth it if you hurt your body."

"It's such a disappointment." The girl complained while tidying her wet hair, "I only know that 'life is short, enjoy yourself while you can'!"

The young man shook his head helplessly, "Zhou Xuan in Xialujiang, whose name is Zizhen. When I first came to Jiangdong, unfortunately I lost my way. I wonder if the girl would be willing to guide me so that Zizhen can go home early."

"Then where is your home?" the girl stopped her hands and asked.Then Zhou Zizhen reported an address, and the corner of the girl's mouth twitched slightly.This person should be a road idiot among road idiots, this is the only thought in the girl's mind after hearing that address.

"Doesn't the girl know?" Zhou Xuan asked cautiously after seeing the girl's expression.

"The place you mentioned is a bit far away from here, and I can't tell clearly at the moment." After a pause, he pursed his lips as if thinking about something. "Anyway, I have nothing to do right now, let's go, I'll take you home." After speaking, regardless of Zhou Xuan's willingness or not, he took his hand and left.

Looking at his hand being held, and then at the figure walking in front, Zhou Xuan said with a smile on his lips, "So, there will be Miss Lao."

"Call me Ajiu." The girl said without turning her head, "I don't feel comfortable hearing the old girl's name."

Ajiu is not an introverted girl, talking and laughing with Zhou Xuan along the way, and led Zhou Xuan home in a blink of an eye.

"Okay, since you're already home, I'll go back too." Ajiu turned around and was about to leave after speaking, but a voice suddenly came from her stomach, "Gu~"

"If you're not afraid that I'm a bad person, why don't you stay and have a meal and stay overnight?" Zhou Xuan asked, holding back a smile.

"Zizhen can't be a bad person, but, will it be inconvenient?" Ajiu asked reluctantly.It's already dark, and it's a bit remote here. As an unarmed and weak woman, it's probably a question of whether she has gone home or not, but it's not good to bother her like this. What if someone's girlfriend is there?

Seeing Ajiu's slightly hesitant expression, Zhou Xuan said in a timely manner: "I'm the only one living here, so, Ajiu, have you thought about it?"

"Then excuse me." Ajiu immediately replied.After realizing that I would play a little fast, and at the moment I was a little annoyed, so I had no choice but to comfort myself there, not because I wanted to do something to Zhou Xuan, but because I was afraid that Zhou Xuan would offer to send me home if I didn't bother, but Zhou Xuan seemed to be He is a road idiot, and in the end he still doesn't know who sent whom.

After hearing Ajiu's answer, Zhou Xuan quickly opened the door.

After coming to the house, Zhou Xuan looked at Ajiu, and then went straight upstairs.When he reappeared, he had an extra set of clothes and a towel in his hand.

"Come up," Zhou Xuan looked at Ajiu and said, "Go to the bathroom and take a hot shower first. You should wash up first after you drenched so much water. After washing, you can eat."

"Yeah." Ajiu nodded, thinking that Zhou Xuan was really kind to her.

When Ajiu finished washing and came to the living room, she saw Zhou Xuan standing between the sofa and coffee table looking at herself with an apologetic expression. "What's the matter?" Ajiu asked, "Can't you cook? It's okay, I'll be here."

"No." Zhou Xuan said in a timely manner, "I wanted to give Ah Jiu a taste of my cooking as a thank you, but after searching the entire kitchen, I only found two servings of instant noodles... "

I thought it was a big deal, "It's okay, as long as I can fill my stomach." Ajiu said, and came to Zhou Xuan's side at the same time.Leaning down to look at the two bowls of noodles on the coffee table, "It seems almost ready, Zizhen, can I eat?" Seeing Zhou Xuan nodding, Ajiu sat down on the floor and started eating the bowl of noodles in front of her.Seeing Ah Jiu like this, Zhou Xuan also sat on the floor like her, feeling that the instant noodles were even more delicious than the meals made by his mother.The two of them ate noodles like this, talking about some interesting things without feeling embarrassed.

If it wasn't for that incident at night, perhaps Zhou Xuan would have always thought that Ah Jiu was a happy girl.

"Don't! Go away! Don't come here! Go away!" A female voice was vaguely heard in the dream, which seemed to be Ajiu's voice.

Realizing that it was Ah Jiu's voice, Zhou Xuan immediately opened his eyes and got up from the bed.When I came to the guest room where Ajiu was resting and turned on the light, I saw Ajiu lying on the bed suffering from nightmares.Walking quickly to the bed, "Ajiu, wake up. Ajiu, I'll be fine here. Ajiu?" Although Zhou Xuan was impatient, he still called softly, but still couldn't wake up Ajiu.

In the nightmare, Ajiu heard someone calling her name in a trance. The voice was gentle, familiar and reassuring. She wanted to open her eyes to see who that person was, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes.She was suddenly afraid that that person would abandon her, so she grabbed that person's hand.At that moment, the figures around him and those annoying voices all disappeared.

Looking at the hand that was suddenly grabbed, and Ajiu's calm expression, Zhou Xuan finally felt relieved, but Ajiu seemed to be still muttering something.When I listened closely, I heard what she said, "Don't go, don't leave me." Zhou Xuan smiled, and whispered in his ear, "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." Then, just looking at Ah Jiu stayed until dawn.

When the sun shines into the house through the curtains, Ajiu opens her eyes, and all she sees is the empty room and herself.It's just that there still seems to be another person's temperature on his hand.Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Ah Jiu felt that something had taken root in her heart.

Coming downstairs, looking at Zhou Xuan who was busy at the dinner table, Ah Jiu was sure that the voice last night was him, and there was no reason.

"Are you up?" Sensing the gaze behind him, Zhou Xuan turned around and said, "Come over and have breakfast."

"Yeah." She nodded and walked towards the dining table.

"Ajiu, there is something, I don't know whether I should say it or not." After Ajiu sat down across from him, Zhou Xuan said.

"What's the matter?" Aoi asked.

"Let's be together." Zhou Xuan looked into Ajiu's eyes and said seriously, "Perhaps you think it's presumptuous of me to say this, we just knew each other for less than two days, and I said I wanted to be with you. But, Ajiu, some things have nothing to do with time, but have something to do with heart. My heart tells me that although we have known each other for a short time and don’t know each other well, I like you. I don’t want to violate the fact My own heart, so, Ajiu, will you date me?" The cautious tone in his tone didn't even notice him.And when Zhou Xuan recalled this moment after a long time, he realized that even when he was on the negotiating table, on the battlefield, or even at the front line of life and death, he had never said this sentence like he did now. tension.

Listening to Zhou Xuan's words, Ajiu lowered her head and sipped the porridge in the bowl, it tasted very good.After a while, Ajiu put down the spoon in her hand, looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Okay, Zhou Zizhen, I agree to date you. Because I don't want to go against my own heart." Just as Zhou Xuan said those words At that moment, Ajiu knew what it was that took root in her heart.

In the following time, both of them lived happily until one day, Ajiu disappeared.That day was the same as usual, Zhou Xuan went to school, and Ah Jiu went shopping.But when Zhou Xuan returned home in the evening, he didn't see Ajiu. He searched the whole house but couldn't find Ajiu.After that, Zhou Xuan searched all over Jiangdong, but still couldn't find his Ajiu.

Later, when they each recalled the past, they realized that the few months together, especially the night when they first met, not only left a mark in Zhou Xuan's heart that could not be erased in this life, but also, It also left a warmth in Ajiu's heart that could not be reproduced in this life, making her feel colder as she traveled further along the way.However, they all knew at that time that such a warm time would never happen again.

"Miss Ajiu, do you look a lot like the proprietress of the coffee shop?" Zhou Yu asked after listening to Zhou Xuan's unknown past.

"Yeah." Zhou Xuan nodded.

"Brother, if you can't find it, forget it."

"Gongjin, I can't forget it." Zhou Xuan looked at Zhou Yu and said, "During the time she disappeared, I learned how to pretend to be a smile, but I couldn't learn how to forget. The word "forget" means nothing to me. , it is as difficult as climbing the sky, especially forgetting her."

Looking at Zhou Xuan in front of him, Zhou Yu felt very strange.The elder brother I know has never been so sad like now. In my impression, he has always been happy.

This night, the lights of Zhou's house were never extinguished.
