Chapter 110
It rained in the evening.
As soon as the bell rang, the students hurried back to the dormitory building to put away the clothes that were drying. It was humid in Lingnan, and as soon as the sun was shining, they couldn't help but hang the clothes out to dry. As soon as it rained, they rushed to the dormitory shouting "Die, die!" and hurriedly put away the clothes.
Chen Lanjun lay on the windowsill, watching people collecting clothes and looking at the raindrops hitting the broad green leaves.
It rained heavily on the first day of school.
Since she had an early class the next day, she simply stayed in the dormitory, thinking of confirming the progress of the beverage development with Pang Xiaopeng and others on the weekend.
The rain kept falling. Because of the rain, the roommates stayed in the dormitory, each doing their own things quietly and occasionally chatting with each other.
A small square table was placed in the middle of the lower bunk, with the desk lamp on. Chen Lanjun took off the cap of her fountain pen and stared at the letter paper in a trance.
After a long time, I picked up the pen:
【Respectfully addressed: Qinghe】
[I happened to return to Pengcheng City and called you presumptuously. It seemed that a woman answered the phone.]
She held her wrist, thought for a moment, and continued writing:
[I don't know who she is, if you want you can explain it to me.]
I added a few extra words of greeting and before I knew it I had reached the end.
Just as I was testing whether the ink on the letter paper had dried, I suddenly heard a faint commotion outside, which was getting closer and closer.
There were three knocks on the dormitory door: "Excuse me, is classmate Chen Lanjun here?"
The roommates all glanced at Chen Lanjun.
It’s so late and it’s raining so heavily, I wonder what’s going on?
Chen Lanjun was also curious, so she turned the letter over so that the blank side was facing up, and answered as she walked toward the door, "Yes."
The door opened and a man in a raincoat followed the dormitory manager.
"Is it classmate Chen Lanjun?"
Chen Lanjun nodded: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The man in the raincoat said, "This is what I mean. I'm from the school security department. I was on patrol just now and saw a man wandering downstairs of the girls' dormitory, so I went up to ask him. He's not a student of our school, but he claimed to be your cousin, so I wanted you to identify him."
Cousin? Chen Lanjun was a little surprised. Is it Zhao Hong? Why did he come here at this time?
"Okay, maybe there's an emergency at home, I'll go get an umbrella."
After saying hello to her roommates, Chen Lanjun followed the dormitory manager and security guard downstairs, carrying a long umbrella.
Passing through the wind and rain corridor, at the end of the iron gate is a small house where the dormitory manager lives.
It was raining heavily, and the glass of the cabin was slightly foggy, making it look hazy.
Through the glass, Chen Lanjun saw a figure, tall and upright.
This is definitely not Zhao Hong, he is not that tall.
This thought flashed through my mind, but the next moment, I had some vague guesses. This figure looks very much like someone - but, no? It's so far away.
Chen Lanjun frowned and followed the crowd forward.
"Here, it's him. He refused to tell me his name even when asked."
The wind brought rain, which hit the door panel, making a rustling sound.
The man in the room with his back to the light turned around, his woolen suit was soaked by the rain, and the black color became even darker. His hair, which was originally meticulous and carefully groomed, was also soaked by the rain, and his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, making him look very pitiful.
It’s Shao Qinghe.
He looked at her with a pair of wet eyes, silently aggrieved.
Chen Lanjun put her hands on the door panel with a complicated expression. It was really this person, but was it really that serious?
There was silence for about five or six seconds, and the security guard coughed: "Um, classmate Chen, is this your cousin?"
…
She pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
Amid the sound of wind and rain, Chen Lanjun slowly walked towards him.
"Why are you here at this time? Is there an emergency at home, brother?"
As soon as the word "brother" came out, Shao Qinghe's eyelashes trembled twice.
His Adam's apple moved and he said, "It's urgent."
Chen Lanjun grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "Is Second Brother sick again? Oh my God, let's go back and check."
Shao Qinghe reacted and echoed: "Yes."
Seeing that Chen Lanjun confirmed the man's identity, the dormitory aunt and security guard relaxed a lot.
"Sister, come and register. You and your brother should go back and take a look."
"Okay, thank you, thank you both, you are really responsible and considerate."
Chen Lanjun clasped her hands together and expressed her gratitude to the dormitory aunt and security guard.
The rain was still falling. Shao Qinghe held an umbrella and silently leaned towards the side where Chen Lanjun was.
"Just put it straight, but it's useless." Chen Lanjun said, "There's wind, and the rain is always slanting."
"Just in case I can protect you from the rain."
The wind blew the rain all over them. After a moment of silence, Chen Lanjun asked, "Why are you here? Are you on a business trip?"
"No, I came here specifically to explain it to you."
"Just write a letter. I'm not an unreasonable person. Why would I make this trip?"
Shao Qinghe shook his head slowly: "It's different, Alan."
He suddenly stopped and just looked at her: "You are very important to me."
Chen Lanjun also stopped, raised her head slightly, and met his gaze.
The rain sprinkled gently on their faces like a powder puff. In the dark long street, there was no one else except the two of them. On such a night and in such rain, it was as if they were the only two people left in the world.
It feels hazy and unreal.
But Shao Qinghe was standing in front of her, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp from being wet by the rain.
He was right in front of her, for a phone call he hadn't received.
This is not fake.
Chen Lanjun looked up and gently wiped away a drop of water on his suit.
"Fool."
A sigh like the wind.
Shao Qinghe smiled, and his pair of light-colored pupils shone like fireflies in the dark night.
I led the man back to the house under the banyan tree, and my leather shoes left a watermark on the terrazzo floor.
The rain soaked him thoroughly. Chen Lanjun thought about it and realized that he must have been standing outside in the rain for a long time, but she didn't dare to disturb him.
Even when stopped by the security guard, she just said he was her cousin.
Chen Lanjun said softly: "Take off your wet coat and go to the bathroom to take a shower. Don't catch a cold..."
As he spoke, he went to look for a towel. Just as he put the towel on his arm, he suddenly remembered that there was no hot water here, so he could only take a cold shower.
"Or let's call a taxi and go to the hotel..." She had just finished speaking when she suddenly paused.
That's not quite right.
Shao Qinghe is the owner of the Garden Hotel. For a young master like him, he doesn't even need to give special instructions. As long as he shows up, the car, room and accompanying people can be arranged, right?
Why do you end up like a homeless dog, getting wet in the rain at night?
Coming back to her senses, Chen Lanjun raised her head abruptly: "Wait a minute, Shao Qinghe, you are not acting for me, are you?"
Shao Qinghe looked innocent, as if he didn't understand what she was saying. However, he acted quickly, quickly taking the towel from her arm and turning around to lock the bathroom door.
"I seem to have some symptoms of a cold. I'll take a shower first."
The faucet was turned on, and there was a sound of running water.
Chen Lanjun, who wanted to ask further questions, was isolated outside.
She put her hand on her forehead, smiled and shook her head.
Oh.
A man's little trick.
