C8 We'll Hang on together
It had just rained in Linhai, and after the dust settled, the entire city was crystal clear. The lights from the billboards on both sides of the street intersected, making the entire city even more prosperous and spectacular.
Gu Chenming stood in front of Shi Xiaoxi, wearing a white shirt. He wore a pair of straight pants and black leather shoes on his feet. He held an umbrella and just stood there. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree under the orange light. There was almost no flaw on his face, so he could see the anger of both man and god.
Shi Xiaoxi raised her head to look at him. It was just like the first time she saw him. The deer was running around randomly and her face was red. She had forgotten what he had asked.
On the wet ground, the shadows of the two people were extended diagonally. Under the black umbrella, Gu Chenming's eyelids slightly blinked. His eyes were deep as he called out to her, "Shi Xiaoxi."
Shi Xiaoxi came back to her senses and her embarrassed eyes flew everywhere. She said in a panic, "Why... What's wrong?"
Gu Chenming said nonsensically, "It's raining."
Shi Xiaoxi turned her head to look around and found that it was really raining again. She patted her shoulder and pretended to be relaxed, "Yes, it's raining again."
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Chenming suddenly increased the strength of his voice and shouted, "Shi Xiaoxi."
She was scared and subconsciously moved her legs together. She stood in a standard military posture with her butt sticking out. Then she looked up at Gu Chenming and asked with a questioning look, "What is it?"
Gu Chenming looked at her calmly. He patiently repeated what he had said, word by word, "I said, it's raining."
Shi Xiaoxi was a little confused. For some reason, her palm was covered with a layer of sweat. She felt guilty but also very sincere as she said, "Yes, it's raining."
Gu Chenming sighed. His breath was really very long. It was so long that Shi Xiaoxi could feel that he was about to go crazy.
After being silent for a while, Gu Chenming lowered his head and called out to her, "Shi Xiaoxi."
Shi Xiaoxi was stunned. What was going on tonight? Why did he keep calling her?
If he were to calculate seriously, calling her tonight was even more than what he had shouted in the past nine years.
Shi Xiaoxi was stunned. She did not dare to look directly into Gu Chenming's eyes. She lowered her head and replied, "Please instruct."
Without an exception, the cold air invaded her again. Gu Chenming bent down and said with a strong helplessness, "Why don't you even know how to hide from the rain?"
Shi Xiaoxi came back to her senses. She hurriedly said, "I know how to hide."
She thought that Gu Chenming was impatient and turned around to run to the bus station. But just as she ran two steps, Gu Chenming shouted, "Shi Xiaoxi."
She stopped in her steps and felt a kind of irritation after being called over. However, when faced with Gu Chenming, she was even more humble. This subservience caused Shi Xiaoxi to involuntarily develop a form of respect and fear towards Gu Chenming. When she opened her mouth to speak again... Her voice was slightly trembling, "You..."
Gu Chenming was still standing where he was. Under the black umbrella, he suddenly became more cold. He ordered in a deep and impatient voice, "Come here."
Shi Xiaoxi was stunned. After a few seconds of deadlock, her legs did not listen to Gu Chenming. She walked towards Gu Chenming.
The distance between them shortened. He was one head taller than her. After staring at her for a few seconds, he roughly stuffed the big umbrella into her hands. "Support yourself."
Shi Xiaoxi was stunned. She looked up at him. "Then what do you do?"
Under the colorful light, the drizzle was dense. Soon, Gu Chenming's head was filled with water droplets. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, narrow and charming. The corner of his eye slightly raised, and there was an invisible pressure.
Gu Chenming looked down at her and scolded helplessly, "You are so stupid that you like salt."
After saying this, he strode away.
Shi Xiaoxi was stunned for a while. She felt that his criticism was somewhat intimate. Her heart felt like it had been brushed by a feather and it was itchy and trembling.
After she came back to her senses, she held the umbrella and jogged over to Gu Chenming. She stood in front of him and obediently lifted the umbrella over his head. She said, "Let's hold it together."
Gu Chenming curled the corner of his lips. He did not know if he was smiling or not, but he was really looking at it this way.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Chenming had already walked out of the range of the big umbrella. Seeing that Shi Xiaoxi did not chase after him, he stopped and impatiently urged, "Shi Xiaoxi, hurry up..."
