Summer showers always seem so sudden and torrential.
Large raindrops fell from the sky and pounded on the ground.
I watched as pedestrians on the street either lifted up their coats and ran on the road because of the sudden downpour.
Or they might hurriedly seek shelter from the rain under the eaves of a shop on the side of the street, complaining about the unpredictable weather.
Gu Xinghe simply held up his long-handled black umbrella.
She stood alone outside the cat café, waiting for Carol, Regaya, and Sylph to arrive.
Although the seasonal showers that fell at the turn of summer and autumn were still sultry, they were gradually bringing with them a touch of autumn coolness.
Gu Xinghe was wearing a light-colored long trench coat, with his left hand in the coat pocket and his right hand holding a long-handled black umbrella.
To outsiders, his composed demeanor at that moment formed a stark and striking contrast with the pedestrians rushing to find shelter from the rain.
At that moment, he listened to the very regular and not annoying sound of raindrops coming from beside him and above him.
Rain dripped from the eaves of the shops, forming small puddles on the ground, which were then inadvertently stepped on.
“Tap—tap—tap—”
Everyone's footsteps sound different.
These differences are caused by the shoes each person wears, their different pausing rhythms, and their different walking habits.
Since that blood sacrifice at Dawn Boarding School.
Gu Xinghe could clearly feel that his physical data had almost doubled.
His five senses, including hearing, and even his subtle intuitive perception, are much more sensitive than before.
The sound coming from this person suggests they are wearing women's leather shoes with a slight heel but not a high heel.
He could hear the footsteps running towards him through the rain.
Gu Xinghe opened his eyes, which he had intended to close to listen carefully, and looked up—
They saw Carol, Rekaya, and Sylph, who hadn't brought umbrellas and were already soaked by the rain.
Then he saw three people running towards him.
Carol and Rekaya were not wearing the uniform school uniforms they usually wore on campus.
Instead, she changed into a more casual, knee-length dress.
The blue and pink dresses, matching their hair color, had the same design and style.
Despite wearing dresses of different colors, they didn't experience the awkwardness or similarity of "wearing the same outfit."
On the contrary, it highlights the differences in their personalities and individual characteristics.
The serene blue of the lake perfectly matches the quiet and introverted personality of Lekaya, the painter.
The subtle pink color, which is not gaudy, further highlights Carol's almost always energetic and lively personality.
In addition, Gu Xinghe's excellent eyesight even allowed him to see—
The collars of both women's dresses were decorated with a circle of floral-shaped openwork lace.
The already beautiful dress has even more thoughtful design details in these areas.
It seems that Carol and Lecaya have made very thorough preparations for this appointment.
On the other hand, Sylph, wearing the same little black dress, seemed to have made no changes to her attire whatsoever.
However, Gu Xinghe also noticed that the two cats that were originally used as decorations next to her large wizard hat were gone.
Do you think that wearing real cat ear decorations to a cat cafe will scare the cats inside?
Although she is not a real cat-eared beauty, Sylph seems to have an exceptionally high tolerance and love for cats.
At this time, in order to avoid getting their bodies wet as much as possible.
Gu Xinghe saw that Carol and Rekaya had already used the rabbit and bear plush toys they were holding to cover their heads.
To shield himself from the raindrops falling on his head.
However, compared to the two cotton dolls they had been holding before, the two dolls they were currently holding appeared to be more elastic.
It looks like it was made from real flesh and blood.
In reality, that was precisely what Gu Xinghe originally intended to do to keep Carol and Rekaya alive.
They injected their own pollution as a "filler" for their missing other half.
That's why he said at that time that the two girls' current state was somewhat similar to having become his shape.
Because of the two new dolls in Carol and Rekaya's hands, which act as a kind of "channel".
Gu Xinghe can now know their location and control their bodies at any time.
Or perhaps it possesses them directly.
In some ways, they now resemble his retinue.
However, at this moment, without umbrellas, the three of them found their shelter somewhat useless.
Although both Carol and Rekaya have dolls that are not small, Sylph is also wearing a wide-brimmed, pointed hat.
However, the few small splashes of water from stepping into the puddles still soaked the socks of the three of them.
Gu Xinghe could even see black dirt staining their white socks.
Although it seems like a long time has passed.
However, Gu Xinghe's exceptional dynamic vision allowed him to complete this series of observations in a very short time.
Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and held the umbrella over their heads.
The large umbrella design perfectly enveloped Gu Xinghe and the three relatively petite individuals.
In order to prevent others from being splashed and soaked by the rain outside the umbrella.
Gu Xinghe could feel the three people under the umbrella trying to huddle close to him.
The clothes, soaked by the rain, clung tightly to the skin underneath.
Right now, he could even see through the way the four people were standing close together.
I could feel their warm skin, damp from the cool rain, beneath their thin summer clothes.
In the pouring rain, under the only umbrella I could rely on.
The four people, huddled together, seemed to be drawing warmth from each other.
But Gu Xinghe also knew that the four of them were not ordinary people.
If the slight shivering is due to the body feeling cold.
That's most likely a disguise, just like Gu Xinghe's studies during this period, done in order to appear more like an ordinary person.
Rather, the warmth we feel right now is more touching than the worry about catching a cold in the future.
But this quiet tenderness didn't last long before it was broken.
"You three, that's enough! How much longer are you going to keep hugging each other!"
Honestly, that's enough!
Unlike Carol and Rekaya, who seemed able to continue clinging to Gu Xinghe indefinitely.
The hug in the rain initially made Sylph feel at ease.
But after realizing what had happened, a sense of belated shame arose.
