C3 The Sound of Rain

"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"

The sound of thunder caught everyone off guard and cut through the twilight sky. A burst of heavy rain suddenly came falling with a crackling sound.

Xu Hsinghsing was stunned as soon as he came out of the library. Why was it raining when the weather was still fine? Judging from the sound, it sounded like the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Xu Hsinghsing didn't go to the library often, but now that he had to do his graduation thesis, the dorm wasn't a place to study. A few of his roommates were gathered together to chat or play games, so Xu Hsinghsing had no choice but to go to the library to finish his thesis efficiently.

X University was one of the key universities in the city. The library was built in an exceptionally beautiful manner, with the shape of an open book, elegant and grand, especially at night, when the library building was surrounded by orange-yellow lights, giving off a faint and gentle glow, outlining the entire library. In addition to the white light outside the window, it was exceptionally quiet and beautiful in the evening light.

Some of them lowered their heads to read the books in their hands, some ate while memorizing the words, some lowered their heads to play on their phones, some were just like Xu Hsinghsing, staring blankly or looking around, and paid attention to the rain outside the glass door.

During the time Xu Hsinghsing was stunned, he suddenly thought of the figure he saw that day at the Peach Blossom Festival. Xu Hsinghsing was still confused about that man in black, that pair of cold eyes, and just as Xu Hsinghsing was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came out from behind him.

"Hey! Little Hsinghsing! " The man tapped Xu Hsinghsing on the shoulder, the smile in his voice unmistakable.

Xu Hsinghsing was shocked. He turned his head in fright. When he saw someone he knew, he immediately smiled and called out happily, "Senior."

Lee Nan pretended to be angry and twisted his lips. Xu Hsinghsing immediately reacted and smiled lightly. With a gentle smile, he called out crisply, "Brother Nan."

Lee Nan then started to laugh. "What were you thinking about just now?" Lee Nan looked at Xu Hsinghsing and said, "I've called you for a long time but you haven't heard." Lee Nan raised his eyebrows and teased, "Don't tell me you're thinking of spring? "Which little girl are you thinking about?"

"Sigh, that's not it," Xu Hsinghsing quickly waved his hands, "I was just in a daze."

"Puuu ~ ~" Lee Nan laughed out and carelessly patted Xu Hsinghsing's head, "You, you are really staying at home. I really want to knock your head open and see what's inside." Lee Nan said as he bent his index finger and lightly tapped Xu Hsinghsing's head with a joint.

Xu Hsinghsing also felt that his words were a bit stupid, so he embarrassedly touched the tip of his nose, "Brother Nan, why are you in the library too? Aren't graduate students supposed to go out for fun? "

Lee Nan acted as if he had nothing to live for, as he opened his arms and said helplessly, "Grandmother Mentor gave me another mission again."

Xu Hsinghsing was amused, "Hey, Teacher Li is not that old, why do you keep calling me grandma? Besides, didn't teacher treat you pretty well? "

"Because," Lee Nan looked at Xu Hsinghsing mysteriously and said, "Because … "She's actually a teacher, a godmother of a mountain."

"Be careful not to let Teacher Li hear it another day," Xu Hsinghsing said with a sly smile. "If that's the case …"

"You're not going to inform me, are you?" Lee Nan raised his eyebrows and grabbed Xu Hsinghsing's shoulders with both hands. "Little Hsinghsing, your brother treats you well, and you're willing to let me be scolded by your teacher? "How can you bear to let me down …" Her tone was extremely pitiful.

"I'll think about it," Xu Hsinghsing said in a serious and thoughtful manner. Suddenly, he saw something out of the corner of his eyes. His mouth twitched as he looked at Lee Nan and said, "Brother Nan, I want to eat roasted sausages."

Lee Nan smiled, but he was still very cute. Lee Nan was Xu Hsinghsing's direct senior, and the freshman who was admitted to the university was Xu Hsinghsing. Afterwards, the two of them got along quite well in all aspects of their personalities, and their relationship unconsciously improved.

"Okay," Lee Nan said. "Let's go eat the grilled sausages."

After a while, the two of them went into the small supermarket in the lobby of the library. Each of them carried a hot roasted sausage and walked out.

"So delicious." Xu Hsinghsing had a face full of satisfaction as he ate the sausage, "Brother Nan, don't worry. I will never sell you out. I won't let you down." With that, he patted Lee Nan on the shoulder, looking like a caring subordinate of a big leader.

Lee Nan looked at him in amusement, "Let's go back to the dormitory."

"Hey, has the rain stopped?" Xu Hsinghsing looked outside.

"No, but I brought an umbrella." Lee Nan took out an umbrella from his school bag.

"Wow, you actually brought an umbrella, why didn't you say so earlier?" Xu Hsinghsing quickly finished the rest of the roasted sausages, ran over and threw the stick in his hand into the trash can. He ran over with a smile and said, "Brother Nan, you're so nice. Let's go back."

The two of them walked towards the door.

"I can tell from the way you're sitting that you definitely didn't take out your umbrella," Lee Nan opened his umbrella. "You came to the library to write your graduation thesis today, right?" As he spoke, he raised the umbrella above their heads.

Xu Hsinghsing came over and stood under the umbrella, "Yeah, but I feel like it's so hard." Xu Hsinghsing was a bit worried when he thought of his graduation thesis.

"Don't worry, it's still early," Lee Nan said. "It's only mid-May and there's still time."

"Hey, it's so annoying," Xu Hsinghsing said. "I don't want to graduate."

Lee Nan laughed. "Aren't you going to continue on to graduate school for another three years?"

"Sigh, I just can't bear to part with my roommates and classmates. We have to go our separate ways," Xu Hsinghsing sighed. "After four years together, some people won't see each other again."

"I'm still here," Lee Nan said as he caressed Xu Hsinghsing's head. "Little Hsinghsing, you can follow my instructions for another three years. Don't be too happy too early."

"Hehe," Xu Hsinghsing giggled and touched the tip of his nose, "Yes, you're still here, Brother Nan."

"What an idiot …" Lee Nan sneered.

"Where is it!?" Xu Hsinghsing tried to explain.

"What do you think …"

Rain drops fell on the umbrella as they dripped. It was like the music of a happy little fairy, and also like the sweet song of a thoughtful girl singing in a low voice.

Xu Hsinghsing and Lee Nan were not in the same dormitory. Lee Nan first went to his dorm and gave his umbrella to Xu Hsinghsing, seeing the rain getting heavier, Xu Hsinghsing hurriedly walked towards his dorm. Xu Hsinghsing shivered after a gust of cold wind blew by and walked to the foot of the dorm. Xu Hsinghsing was just about to put away his umbrella and swipe his card when he saw a figure in the corner of his eye.

Xu Hsinghsing was stunned for a moment. Looking at that shadow, for some reason, Xu Hsinghsing felt that the shadow was a little lonely.

Right next to Yu Ye Mei, a branch covered half of his body. man in black just stood there in the rain, letting the rain fall on him. He was wearing a black cape and could only see a pair of eyes.

The rain rustled on the leaves, but the person didn't move at all. Xu Hsinghsing suddenly felt as if his heart had been grabbed.

Xu Hsinghsing walked over and handed the umbrella over to him, "Here you go," Xu Hsinghsing looked at that person and said, "Are you waiting for someone here?"

The raindrops fell on Xu Hsinghsing's body, on the ends of his hair and on the arm he stretched out.

That person looked at Xu Hsinghsing, but his face remained expressionless and remained motionless. He didn't take the umbrella from Xu Hsinghsing and only looked at Xu Hsinghsing.

Xu Hsinghsing saw those cold eyes and his heart suddenly shook. It was as if he was the same as the eyes he saw that day, cold without a trace of warmth. Xu Hsinghsing saw those cold eyes and suddenly his heart trembled, as if he was the same as the eyes he saw that day.

"Your hat won't cover the rain at all. It's going to get wet. Take it."

Xu Hsinghsing saw that man in black did not pick up the umbrella, so he opened the umbrella and raised it above their heads, "You will catch a cold like this, take this umbrella and return it to me tomorrow." As he said that, he pulled up that person's hand and forced the umbrella into it. Then, he quickly jumped up the stairs and swiped his card, and before entering, he smiled at that person and said, "Remember to return this umbrella to me. If it's mine, then I'll give it to you. He waved to the man and went in.

That person watched Xu Hsinghsing's back until he disappeared from his field of vision, then looked at the umbrella in his hand. After a while, he stared at his own hand, which was touched by that person just now, as if it was still warm.

Xu Hsinghsing jumped into his dorm room, but the moment he opened the door, he was pounced on by the oncoming people.

"Little Hsinghsing!" Zhang Tianle howled, "I lost miserably today!"

Xu Hsinghsing smiled and patted Zhang Tianle on the shoulder, "Don't cry, don't cry. Baby Tianle continues to lose. Come on, you're the best!"

"You've become bad," Zhang Tianle looked at Xu Hsinghsing with resentment in his eyes, "I even left pineapples for you, I especially left them for you. Do you know how hard it is to leave food in Brother Cheng's mouth?"

Xu Hsinghsing looked at Zhang Tianle ingratiatingly. "Tianle, you're the best. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow."

"Me too!" Wang Sheng interrupted, "I want pancake and fruit! More brittle. "

"Me too!" Yang Cheng walked out of the bathroom, "I want the lotus leaf cake with vegetables, I want two pieces of ham."

"None of you have a share!" Zhang Tianle rolled his eyes, "Little Hsinghsing wanted to bring it to me, so I won't bring it to you guys. You'll have to torture me today." He turned to Xu Hsinghsing, "Little Hsinghsing, I want to eat a meat bun and also an egg."

Xu Hsinghsing smiled, "Alright, alright."

"Hsinghsing, you should go take a bath. The lights are going out," Wang Sheng said, "Huh? Isn't your umbrella on the table? Why are your clothes so dry? I was still thinking about whether I should give you an umbrella, but I forgot about it after one game. One game after another.

"Does such a popular person like Little Hsinghsing even need you to give him an umbrella?" Zhang Tianle rolled his eyes and turned to Xu Hsinghsing. "Little Hsinghsing must have come back with a beauty?"

"No," Xu Hsinghsing tidied up, "It's senior Lee Nan. He brought an umbrella with him." He went into the bathroom.

"Senior Lee Nan is so nice to you …"

"I heard that Senior Lee Nan seems to have published another SCI." Zhang Tianle said.

"How do you know?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

"My graduation thesis teacher is his teacher," Zhang Tianle mumbled as he chewed something, "I heard it from my senior brother and sister in the laboratory."

"Ah, what a god …"

Xu Hsinghsing turned off the lights as soon as he finished his bath. He climbed onto the bed and was about to pull the curtains, but after thinking about it, he opened the window and looked down. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything.

The sound of rain outside the window sounded very comfortable and had a hypnotizing effect. Xu Hsinghsing thought about the scene he saw under the dormitory just now. His cold eyes and indifferent expression seemed to penetrate some kind of loneliness.

It seemed a little mysterious.

Xu Hsinghsing gradually fell asleep as he thought about it. The rain outside the window was still pouring down.

In the dark night of rain, there was a pair of eyes staring out of the window at a certain direction like a monk in meditation. He was motionless, with an umbrella in his arms.

His eyes seemed to see through the rainy night, but it seemed as if he could not see through anything. He was confused, deep and lonely.
