A thick coat was put on Gu Yuqing's head, and then she felt a warm body pressed against her. Chen Ya protected her head from behind.
"Hurry up and find a place to hide."
"What are you going to do?" Gu Yuqing looked up at him, holding his coat with both hands. There was still a lot of temperature on it.
"It's okay, I have a hard head."
The wind and rain were raging, their momentum overwhelming. Ice fell one after another, leaving white dots on the ground, making a dinging sound when it landed on telephone poles, and setting off burglar alarms when it landed on parked cars.
They happened to be in the square, with no shelter around. Gu Yuqing couldn't run fast in her high heels, but fortunately Chen Ya had been protecting her. Not only was she not hit by hail, but she also felt warm both physically and mentally.
The two of them ran wildly under an awning on the side of the road. Hail was still falling from the sky, hitting the roof and making a chaotic sound like an arpeggio.
Gu Yuqing wrapped Chen Ya's windbreaker tightly around herself and looked at Chen Ya, who was only wearing a white shirt. Half of his upper body was wet, and the water-soaked shirt stuck to his skin, revealing the sweatshirt he was wearing underneath.
"Are you okay? Did you get hit?" Gu Yuqing asked with concern, reaching out to touch his head. "I was really scared just now."
"Hiss——" Chen Ya suddenly took a breath, and Gu Yuqing quickly withdrew her hand.
"What happened? Did it hit you?"
"Yeah, I got hit here just now."
"Let me see."
Gu Yuqing pulled his head over and examined it carefully.
"Red."
"Bleeding?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly, there's a bump."
"Tsk, no wonder."
The sound of ice falling from the pergola was rapid, as if the snow from all over the world was falling on the square of the world. Under the majestic power of nature, individuals seemed very small.
The shed where they were staying was located in the middle of the square. Everyone in the square had run to the eaves more than 30 meters away for shelter, leaving only the two of them squeezed under this small shed.
Gu Yuqing held Chen Ya's head and checked it quietly for a while. After making sure there was no bleeding, she let go of her hand and couldn't help but wrap Chen Ya's clothes tighter.
She had originally made up her mind to ignore Chen Ya, but now the frustration in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.
"So, why did you come looking for me again?" Gu Yuqing asked with a gleam in her eyes. "If you hadn't come looking for me, wouldn't you have gotten hit like this?"
"If I hadn't come to find you, wouldn't you have been smashed by the hail?"
Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes at him. "If you hadn't pursued me, I'd be sitting on the bus right now. How could I have been in this misfortune? Isn't it all your fault?"
"Blame me, blame me."
Gu Yuqing unconsciously returned to her previous attitude towards Chen Ya. She crossed her arms and said, "You came after me because you want me to forgive you, right?"
"Yes, I beg you to forgive me."
"Okay," Gu Yuqing said simply, "If you come to find a topic and can't arouse my interest within five seconds, I won't forgive you. I want you to experience how I felt just now."
Chen Ya tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's talk about Norwegian Wood."
"Puff——"
Gu Yuqing couldn't help laughing out loud. Finally, she bent down, squatted on the ground, covered her face with her hands, and laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking.
"You're terrible at finding topics to talk about. Can't you change the setting?"
Chen Ya also squatted down and said, "Your hairstyle looks really nice."
Gu Yuqing raised her face and looked at him sweetly: "It's too late to say it now!"
"The clothes suit you very well."
"It's too late! Who told you not to tell me before? Even if you say ten more sentences now, it won't make up for how I felt before."
Chen Ya thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers and said, "There are also stockings, which are very textured and make the legs look thinner, which is the third sentence; the legs are thin and long, which is the fourth sentence; the person is also good-looking, with lively eyes and a beautiful smile..."
Chen Ya used every word he could to praise Gu Yuqing from top to bottom, praising her completely until he had finished ten sentences. Gu Yuqing listened to him with a smile, and waited until he finished before asking, "Are you done?"
"I haven't finished yet. There's still a lot more. I'm afraid you don't want to hear it."
"Go ahead and talk. I want to hear it." Gu Yuqing's expression became even sweeter. "Why not tell me that I'm not well yet? I made a wrong estimate just now. You have to say at least a hundred words to make up for the trauma in my heart."
"One hundred sentences is a bit difficult, but it's worth a try," said Chen Ya.
"Let's not talk about it now. Let's talk about it later." Gu Yuqing put a finger to block his mouth. "Tell me first, I already told you that I would continue to invest, so why did you still come here?"
"Because I don't want to lose a friend."
"Is it just because you don't want to lose your friends?" Gu Yuqing blinked.
Chen Ya thought for a moment and said, "I just felt that I haven't completely moved on from my past life. My past experiences have become shackles. Judging from the career I want to accomplish, these shackles will only increase. So I decided to let go of the past and focus more on the future."
"So, you think I'm your future?" Gu Yuqing asked deliberately, "How long do you think the friendship between you and me, the daughter of a wealthy family, can last?"
"I don't know. Let's take it one step at a time."
Chen Ya stood up. Gu Yuqing squatted on the ground and looked up at him. He posed gracefully like a Renaissance gentleman and stretched out his hand in front of her face.
"So, miss, are you willing to formally understand me?"
Gu Yuqing stared at the hand he extended to her. Suddenly, the crowd taking refuge under the eaves beside them burst into cheers.
