Spring has arrived, the weather is gradually warming up, and after taking off the thick winter coat, I feel much more relaxed.
Kyoto is rainy, especially in spring and summer, when it is easy for there to be many consecutive days of continuous rain.
Lu Qing dislikes rain; the gloomy sky makes people feel uncomfortable, but some people do.
On their way to class, Lu Qing and the others held umbrellas, their feet wading through the rain. They tried to speed up, but couldn't.
Suddenly, they heard a silvery laugh coming from afar.
The laughter was so clear and captivating that it made you want to look over.
Lu Qing raised the umbrella higher and looked in the direction of the sound.
A little girl, who looked to be only three or four years old, was walking in the rain.
She wasn't carrying an umbrella, and was wearing a pink overalls set with a pair of pink boots. Her hair was styled in two little buns with bow hair clips, making her look just like a young version of the Peach Blossom Fairy.
The little peach blossom fairy skipped and hopped in the rain, splashing through the puddles and letting the raindrops hit her, her face beaming with a smile.
The continuous rain did not affect her mood at all; on the contrary, it made her even happier.
She seems to really like the rain.
Regardless of whether it was dirty or not, they stretched out their chubby little hands to catch the rootless water from the sky.
Lu Qing was irresistibly drawn to her, and her mood, which had been irritable due to the rain, improved considerably.
"Whose child is that? Why is he out in the rain? Doesn't he get cold?"
Cheng Yiyi quickly stepped forward and used her umbrella to shield the little girl:
"Little girl, why are you standing in the rain all by yourself? Where are your parents?"
Just as the little girl was about to answer, she heard the voice of her homeroom teacher, Fang Minjing, coming from not far away:
"Guyu, come here to Mommy!"
The little girl ran over quickly and sweetly called out, "Mommy!"
Lu Qing and the others were surprised to see Fang Minjing:
"Teacher Fang, is this little girl your daughter?"
Fang Minjing smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Lu Qing looked at the little girl and greeted her with a smile:
"Your name is Gu Yu, right? Hello, my name is Lu Qing!"
"Hello, Sister Lu Qing, are you my mother's students?" Xiao Guyu asked with a smile.
“Yes!” Lu Qing replied with a smile.
"Little Guyu, were you born on Guyu (Grain Rain), is that why you have this name?"
Xiao Guyu was somewhat surprised:
Wow~ Sister, you guessed it right away! You're so smart!
Xiao Guyu's expressions are absolutely adorable.
Lu Qing couldn't help but pinch her cheek: "Little Guyu, how can you be so cute!"
Fang Minjing looked at her daughter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Please don't be offended, this child is quite lively and gets along well with everyone."
“It’s nothing. I just saw her seemingly deliberately getting caught in the rain. Has she always liked the rain this much?” Lu Qing asked.
Fang Minjing nodded helplessly:
"Yes! Perhaps it's because she was born on Grain Rain day, and I gave her that name. She fell in love with rain the first time she saw it."
“Every time it rains, she lies down in the rain without me noticing. Even in winter, she’s not afraid of the cold and doesn’t care if she catches a cold.”
Lu Qing looked at Xiao Guyu and smiled:
"At the time of Grain Rain, all things grow. She was born during Grain Rain, carrying a tenacious life force. Very good!"
Just then, the school bell rang in the distance, signaling the start of class.
Leng Wei glanced at the time and hurriedly said:
"Class is about to start, we need to hurry or we'll be late."
Fang Minjing: "You guys go to class now, Xiao Guyu, say goodbye to your sisters!"
Little Guyu waved her little hand: "Goodbye, sisters!"
Goodbye, Little Grain Rain!
Before leaving, Lu Qing glanced at Xiao Guyu's face, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she took a talisman from her bag and handed it over:
"Teacher Fang, this is a gift for Xiao Guyu. Please keep it with her and make sure it doesn't get wet."
After saying that, Lu Qing left.
Fang Minjing looked at the talisman in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.
She didn't fully understand Lu Qing's special abilities, but her intuition told her that this talisman was a good thing.
"Guyu, this is a gift from your sister. Do you like it?" Fang Minjing asked with a smile.
Xiao Guyu looked at the talisman with a puzzled expression:
"Mom, what is this?"
Fang Minjing: "This is a magic weapon that can protect Xiao Guyu!"
"A magic weapon?? Isn't it amazing?" Xiao Guyu asked with delight.
Fang Minjing: "That's right! But you can't break it, and you can't let it get wet, otherwise it won't work."
Xiao Guyu looked puzzled upon hearing this:
"So, am I protecting it, or is it protecting me?"
Fang Minjing: "Um...you two protect each other, okay?"
Little Guyu: "Okay~"
Fang Minjing went back to her office, found a small waterproof bag, put the talisman in it, threaded it with a rope, and hung it around Gu Yu's neck.
"Okay! Mommy needs to prepare her lessons now. You play by yourself, but don't run outside, okay?"
Okay~
Little Guyu nodded obediently, then took the building blocks and sat down to play.
Fang Minjing looked at her daughter and smiled gently.
She never met a good husband in her life, but fortunately she has a daughter.
Fang Minjing focused her mind and prepared her lesson diligently.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Xiao Guyu was lying by the window, her eyes drawn to the heavy rain.
She stretched out her little hand and caught a little rainwater; it was cool and refreshing.
She really wants to go out and play!
But Mom is afraid she'll get sick and doesn't like her going out in the rain. What should I do?
Xiao Guyu tilted her head and hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and quietly slipped out.
She didn't dare go far, just stood at the door, making sure she could hear her mother calling her.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from around the corner:
"Little Grain Rain, Grain Rain..."
Little Guyu turned her head and saw her father standing at the corner. She quickly ran over and happily jumped into her father's arms.
"Dad, did you come to see me? I haven't seen you in so long!"
The man picked up Xiao Guyu, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes:
"Little Guyu, shall Daddy take you to play?"
Xiao Guyu nodded quickly: "Okay~ But I have to tell my mom first, otherwise she'll worry."
"It's okay, Dad will just send her a message later."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Guyu nodded: "Okay~"
The man immediately picked up Xiao Guyu and left.
After a while, Fang Minjing finished preparing her lesson and turned around to find that her daughter was gone.
Fang Minjing sighed:
"This kid has probably gone out in the rain again."
Fang Minjing put down her pen and hurriedly went out to look for the child, but she couldn't find him anywhere in the rain.
Fang Minjing couldn't help but worry.
In the past, even if Xiao Guyu wanted to sneak out to play, she would only stay at the door. Why did she run far away today?
Without thinking twice, she immediately called Xiao Guyu.
Gu Yu was wearing a smartwatch, and as soon as she received a call from her mother, she quickly answered it.
"Guyu, where are you?"
"Mom, Dad took me out to play!" Gu Yu said happily.
However, Fang Minjing was immediately shocked upon hearing this:
"Gu Xiangming, where did you take my daughter?"
