Chapter 5 Chapter 05 The Wrong Person

The rain was pouring down, getting heavier and heavier. The white mist in the air blurred the buildings in the neighborhood, and the sound of the rain hitting the ground blurred the sounds of the people falling beside them.

Time seemed to be played in slow motion. It was only a few seconds, but the stunned moment when she looked at the other person seemed like a century.

Yu Shuli folded up his half-opened umbrella and looked at her with surprise in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Yan Sui obviously didn't expect that although they had only met once yesterday afternoon, Yu Shuli not only remembered her face but also her name.

This was a fragment that hadn't appeared in her previous life. But because she hadn't come to this neighborhood in her previous life because of Yan Zhaoting's infidelity, Yan Sui could guess that the trajectory of that incident would change due to some changes.

Perhaps this is the butterfly effect. Even if something is changed a little, the changes produced are beyond her expectations.

After a moment of surprise, Yan Sui's thoughts quickly came to their senses.

She retracted her gaze and couldn't help but step aside again: "Coincidentally."

Her action made Yu Shuli pause in his attempt to approach her, and he withdrew his legs in disappointment.

Yu Shuli scratched his neck awkwardly: "Well, my mother lives here. That's why I'm here."

The sudden explanation made Yan Sui feel a little puzzled, but when she saw the slightly nervous look on his face, she realized that Yu Shuli was explaining to her why he was here.

"I know." She spoke in a low voice, almost drowned out by the sound of rain.

But Yan Sui still noticed that the next second after she said this, Yu Shuli's eyes suddenly lit up.

She pretended not to notice and looked away indifferently.

She didn't want to treat Yu Shuli badly, but she also didn't want to have too much contact with him.

The rain was still falling, and Yan Sui's eyes gradually became blank as she stared at the rain.

She began to inquire about Yan Zhaoting's infidelity in her mind and the system, hoping to get some clues from the system.

But the system insisted that each of his prompts had a time limit.

Just as she was discussing this matter with the system in her mind, Yu Shuli had stood beside her without her noticing.

By the time Yan Sui realized what was happening, she was already smelling a strong aroma of soap nuts. She raised her head and met Yu Shuli's dark eyes.

Yan Sui suddenly lowered her head, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and her heart beat faster involuntarily, as if she wanted to lift the emotions that she had buried in her heart back in front of her.

Whether in the previous life or this life, no matter how much she wanted to stay away from him, when Yu Shuli approached her and saw his pair of ink-black eyes, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Her subconscious dodge was caught by Yu Shuli, and he laughed softly.

The sound was obviously very small and the rain was obviously very loud, but the sound still reached her ears very clearly.

Yan Sui pretended to be calm and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Yu Shuli said, "Hmm," and said, "Let's wait until the rain stops."

Yan Sui was silent for a moment, noticing the teasing in his tone.

The atmosphere between the two was very strange. Facing Yu Shuli's ambiguous gaze, Yan Sui really couldn't stay there any longer.

She stared at the rain curtain in thought for a while, then took a step forward with determination. When she wanted to speed up and leave this place, her elbow was grabbed by someone, and her body was pulled back suddenly by the force before she could react.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Sui slowly turned her head to look at the hand that was holding her elbow. The warmth of the palm contrasted with the coldness of her arm.

His force was a bit heavy, as if he was worried that she would ignore his obstruction and run directly into the rain.

"I'm leaving." Yan Sui said softly.

For a moment, the courage here seemed to solidify, and only the sound of rain falling outside the eaves remained.

Yu Shuli lowered his head, a few strands of hair on his forehead had just been caught in the rain, and water droplets dripped down the curvature of his hair onto his face. He lowered his eyes and stared at her, his deep eyes filled with emotions that she could not understand.

The two of them remained in this stalemate for an unknown amount of time until the system's prompt sounded in her mind, and Yan Sui instantly broke free from his arm.

Yu Shuli looked at his empty hand, a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes. But soon, he regained his good mood and his usual smile appeared on the corner of his lips again: "It's raining heavily, I'll catch a cold."

As soon as the words fell, an umbrella was handed to her: "You can use it."

Yan Sui pursed her lips, staring at the umbrella, but was hesitant to take it from him.

Yu Shuli was no longer modest. He pushed his arm forward and stuffed the umbrella directly into her hand, while he took several steps back.

His movements were so quick that Yan Sui didn't have any time to react. When she wanted to return the umbrella, she found that Yu Shuli had already moved several steps away from her.

Just as Yan Sui was staring at the umbrella in sorrow, Yu Shuli suddenly called out her name: "Yan Sui!"

Yan Sui looked up subconsciously.

"Do you remember my name?"

Lightning flashed through her mind, her breathing stagnated, and the hand holding the umbrella tightened involuntarily.

The young man raised his lips and raised his eyebrows, which were half covered by his hair. "Yu Shuli. I'm Yu Shuli from Science Class 1."

Without waiting for Yan Sui's response, Yu Shuli turned and ran into the rain, quickly disappearing around a corner.

With Yu Shuli's departure, the world here seemed to fall into tranquility again.

Yan Sui looked at the umbrella in her hand with a complicated expression. The confused emotions in her heart were still beating and irritating her nerves.

"Host," the system spoke in her mind at the right moment, "a wrong fate should not have begun. Do not forget the conditions you promised me."

Her breathing paused, and when she raised her eyes again, her originally disordered breathing had returned to normal.

Yan Sui slowly loosened her fingers that were holding the umbrella, and her knuckles separated from the umbrella one by one, and finally, left her body along with the sound she made -

"I know."

Yan Sui lowered her eyes and closed them to hide the emotions in them. After the rain subsided a little, she turned around and walked into the rain and left the community.
