Waiting for the Rain to Stop, Seeing the Clear Sky

Life is truly wondrous. You cannot return to the past, nor can you foresee the future. Without moving forward, you'll never know what tomorrow holds. You also won't know that, perhaps, you ...

Are you out of your mind?

Are you out of your mind?

"It's such an important thing, I'll find you a file bag to put it in. Otherwise, what if it gets lost?"

Lin Lei thanked Yi Shiwu with a smile, turned around and went to Qi Yue's room to get the file bag, then put it in in front of Lin Lei and handed it to Lin Lei.

I have to say that Lin Lei is a very careful person. When he took the file bag, he looked at the documents in the bag, which clearly said "divorce agreement", and then he sealed the file bag.

Yi Shiwu stood at the gate, watching Lin Lei drive away, a hint of imperceptible evil flashed in his eyes.

“People can’t be too smart, but they can’t be too stupid either.”

Lin Lei, who was driving, took a look at the file bag on the passenger seat and already had a plan in mind.

Ring Ring Ring

"Qiyue, please take a look at the studio's notice."

"Notice, what notice?"

"Oh, you'll know once you see it."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yue opened the file sent by Chu Zhiyi. The general meaning was that due to work needs, Qi Yue was transferred back to the studio to work, and the Xinghai Wangyue resort project would be taken over by other colleagues.

Qi Yue was confused and the first person she thought of was Yi Shiwu. She then dialed the number, but no one answered.

Qi Yue thought that because Yi Shiwu was working in the morning, he might not have seen the message, so he called again at noon.

However, as expected, both the phone calls and WeChat messages fell on deaf ears. After a whole day, Yi Shiwu did not receive any response.

Qi Yue really couldn't figure out why the studio did this. Even Chu Zhiyi didn't understand the reason, and she couldn't ask Zou Muchu directly, so Qi Yue could only wait.

Qi Yue originally thought that if there was no news from Yi Shiwu that night, she would take the nearest bus back to Xinghai. However, a phone call disrupted all her plans.

"Leader, I'm in Yangbin, let's meet!"

The upset Qi Yue didn't want to pay any attention to it. She was supposed to go to apply for admission tomorrow, and all the admission documents have been prepared. If there are no problems, she can wait for school to start. During this period, Qi Yue can also return to Xinghai to continue working. Facts have proved that plans cannot change as quickly as they do.

Ring Ring Ring

It was Xinghai's phone number, and Qiyue answered the call without thinking.

"Leader, I'm Lin Lei."

As soon as she heard who the other party was, Qi Yue hung up the phone without thinking.

Because we have entered the rainy season, there is still quite plenty of rain now. It rained last night, and it started raining heavily again this evening.

Ring Ring Ring

"Uncle Zhao."

"Qiyue, there's a young man standing at the door of my guard room. He said he's here to see you. He's been standing there for over an hour. It's raining heavily outside, and he refused to come in when I asked him to."

"Uncle, I don't know him. He's probably mentally ill. Don't worry about him."

"Qiyue, is there any trouble? Do you need me to call the police?"

Because they are residents of Jinshucheng, they always say hello when entering and leaving. In addition, when Lan's mother comes, she will make dumplings or food, and if she makes too much, she will share it. Every time Qiyue and Yishiwu come back from the supermarket, they will also take some out when they pass by the guard room to show their care for the people who come in and out on weekdays.

I have to say that in terms of family education, Qiyue and Yi Shiwu are really a family, living an ordinary life and feeling the fireworks of the world.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yue looked out the window. Outside the window, it was pitch black except for the incessant rain, and nothing could be seen clearly. However, the rain on the ground reflected the shaky shadow of the street lamp. It must be because of the wind.

With the sound of the door opening, Qi Yue came to the guard room with an umbrella and brought a cup of ginger tea that she had just brewed to the guard.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't angry the moment I saw Lin Lei. Lin Lei was still like a child, determined not to give up until he achieved his goal. He could have stayed in the guard room, but he stood in the rain and got soaked like a drowned rat.

It was a blatant act of going against Qi Yue. Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Lei quietly followed behind Qi Yue.

"Come in!"

This was the first time that Lin Lei came to Qi Yue's residence and also the first time he entered Qi Yue's home.

"Brother, I'm telling you, don't hurt me. If you ask, don't say I told you."

"Jiang Yiheng, you are so afraid of your wife. You are really embarrassing for men."

"Humph, don't even talk about half a catty, you're not ashamed, you're chasing me like a lapdog, do you think you're interesting?"

"I'd love to."

After saying that, Lin Lei hung up the phone. Facing the busy tone, Jiang Yiheng wanted to throw his phone away.

"What a sin! I made such a bad friend."

"What did you say?"

Tong Xiaoxiao came out of the room and was surprised by Jiang Yiheng's mumbling.

"Nothing, I just found this video quite interesting."

After hearing the explanation, Tong Xiaoxiao did not have too many doubts. If Tong Xiaoxiao knew that it was Jiang Yiheng who looked at the address of her shopping app, he would definitely kick her out of the house and force her to sleep on the street. It is better to have less trouble than more.

Looking at Lin Lei who was soaked all over, Qi Yue finally softened her heart, after all, they were classmates.

"Wait a moment."

After saying that, Qi Yue turned back to the bedroom and took out the large T-shirt and shorts that Damei had bought but had not worn yet. She pointed in the direction of the bathroom. Actually, there was nothing to point to. The layout was clear at a glance.

"Thank you, leader."

Although the apartment is small, it is well designed, so the space is not crowded. There are not too many men's products in the bathroom, but there is a set of men's toiletries on the top of the cabinet, which seems to have not been used for a while.

After seeing this, Lin Lei looked at the new clothes that Qi Yue brought for him and silently confirmed his answer.

But, since they are married, isn't it normal for them to live together? What if they don't live together?

After Lin Lei finished tidying up, he came out and saw Qi Yue busy in the kitchen. Her long hair was loose, with only a cartoon clip, and she was wearing casual home clothes with occasional patterns. It was the style that Qi Yue liked, simple yet full of characteristics.

Under the warm light, Qi Yue looks particularly beautiful without any makeup. I have to say that Qi Yue is really suitable for the night atmosphere, and the more plain she is at night, the more beautiful she looks.

Noticing the gaze, Qi Yue raised her head. For a moment, Lin Lei seemed to have returned to that summer when she was waiting for the class division on the playground.

The little girl in the first row in front also turned around, and just happened to walk into my sight, and just happened to break into my heart.

"It's packed."

"Um."

"for you."

"What's this?"

Qi Yue looked at the hand holding her wrist. Could it be that Lin Lei didn't see the thing she had just given to the security guard? Or was it that after so many years, Lin Lei's eyesight was getting worse and worse?

Qi Yue wanted to introduce him to the doctor who performed her eye surgery so that he could treat her properly.

"Ginger soup."

Now Qi Yue no longer has any of the emotions she had before when facing Lin Lei. She is very calm and there are no ripples.

After drinking, Lin Lei picked up the bowl and put it in the sink to wash it, but was stopped by Qi Yue.

After all, they are guests. There is no reason to ask them to work.

"Put it here and wash it together later."

After saying that, he placed the cooked noodles on the bar, and carefully prepared a cup of warm water and a bottle of carbonated drink.

If Qiyue remembered correctly, Lin Lei liked to drink carbonated soda. Qiyue didn't like it very much, but sometimes eating spicy hot pot without carbonated soda really seemed to be missing some soul.

After making the arrangements, Qiyue returned to the sofa and sat down, turning up the volume of the TV. It was a comedy starring Qiyue's favorite actor. It must be said that Qiyue had watched this movie no less than 20 times.

Seeing Qi Yue sitting alone on the sofa, Lin Lei put his bowl and soda on the coffee table.

Qi Yue, who was busy building Lego, raised her head, and Lin Lei answered with a smile.

“It’s more fun when there are more people.”

Qi Yue looked at him without saying anything, but just moved Lin Lei's seat.

Just like that, two people, one eating, the other playing with toys, with laughter on TV. Lin Lei had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, and today, it became reality.

"Leader, your noodle-cooking skills are pretty good."

"Well, this is the only dish I can cook."

"This one is enough, it's delicious."

After listening to Lin Lei's words, Qi Yue nodded to show her satisfaction.

"Would you like some more?"

Lin Lei said nothing, just nodded.

Qi Yue got up and went to the kitchen to put all the remaining things into a bowl, a Crayon Shin-chan instant noodle bowl. Even Qi Yue admired her own aesthetic taste. How could she be so creative? Life was really full of flavor.

After eating, Qi Yue picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen. Before Qi Yue could get up, Lin Lei took the lead and went to the kitchen to busy himself.

"No, I can do it myself. I'll book a hotel for you, and you can go there when the car arrives."

When Lin Lei heard that Qi Yue had booked a hotel for him, his wrist swipe paused.

"I'm not going."

"Not going?"

Qiyue's face was full of questions. It was raining heavily. If you didn't go, where would you live? And why would you go out in the rain? If you were sick or had a fever, wouldn't Qiyue still have to take care of you?

As if he could see what Qi Yue was thinking, Lin Lei continued to brush his wrist with his head down.

"You have such a big place, I'll stay here. You can also charge hotel prices."

"Me? You're out of your mind."

"Why, are you worried about the difference between men and women and it's inconvenient?"

Of course, this was definitely Qi Yue’s first thought. After all, they were all married. To be more precise, there were differences between men and women.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything illegal, especially against you."

After saying that, Lin Lei wiped his wet hands and held Qi Yue's shoulders.

"I, Lin Lei, will never do anything to hurt Lan Qiyue in my entire life."

With the help of the kitchen light, Qi Yue seemed to see the boy she liked at the beginning, the boy who loved studying for her, who could endure the cold for her, and who always went along with her.

After a moment of distraction, he was finally defeated by reason.

That was many years ago. Now we are standing at the two ends of the bridge, just you and me.

Still worried about Yi Shiwu's lack of reply, Qi Yue didn't have the energy to argue with Lin Lei, so she just let him be. After all, it was raining really hard today.
