Chapter 17 The Rain Stops at Dawn
The real angel came out of Lu Qingmian's arms with a flushed face, shook her beautiful wings and ran to pour a cup of hot water, then ran back and handed it to Chen Keai who was sitting on the ground with her legs stretched out.
"Chen Keai, are you okay?" Jiang Jinyue asked.
Chen Keai stared at Jiang Jinyue blankly, her eyes following Jiang Jinyue's movements.
In the small living room, the trail of light left by Jiang Jinyue as he moved dissipated very slowly, as if a fine star shower was falling indoors.
Chen Keai took the cup of water and stood up from the ground. The warmth from the cup flowed from his palms to his limbs, but he still couldn't take his eyes off Jiang Jinyue.
Jiang Jinyue felt embarrassed being stared at, so he dragged a chair over, wiped the water off it, and motioned for Chen Keai to sit down.
Chen Keai obviously hadn't come to his senses yet, so he sat down when he was asked to.
At this time, Lu Qingmian also poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Jiang Jinyue.
Jiang Jinyue was startled for a moment, then smiled at Lu Qingmian, happily took the hot water, took a sip, and felt so warm and comfortable that his wings stretched out, shaking gently as if breathing, with tiny rays of light falling down with the shaking.
Chen Keai quietly put one hand into her pocket and couldn't help but want to take out her cell phone to take a picture of Jiang Jinyue.
Jiang Jinyue was so beautiful, so beautiful that she didn't seem to exist in the real world. But he woke up as soon as he touched the phone, immediately pulled his hand out, and slapped himself.
A clear sound broke the silence in the room. Chen Keai finally came back to her senses. She stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Jiang Jinyue.
"Jiang Jinyue, thank you!"
He bowed so vigorously that the hot water in the cup spilled out, instantly scalding the back of his hand. It was painful, but it left a lasting impression on Chen Keai.
The pain means he is still alive.
Jiang Jinyue had never interacted with others since he was a child, so he had no idea how to deal with such a situation. He subconsciously ran behind Lu Qingmian, his two pairs of large wings tucked up like a quail, revealing only half of his face as he looked at Chen Keai, and whispered, "No, you're welcome..."
Lu Qingmian lowered his eyes, and looked at Chen Keai with cold black eyes, which were full of warnings.
Unlike Jiang Jinyue's innocence, Lu Qingmian thinks a lot.
He looked Chen Keai up and down, and said threateningly, "Chen Keai, you should know what to say and what not to say."
Chen Keai straightened up and smiled calmly, "I know. How could I hurt him?" He looked at Jiang Jinyue again, "Come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will do everything I can."
Changing the subject, Chen Keai's expression became a little ambiguous again: "Or... do you want to date me? What do you think about being the top?"
Jiang Jinyue seemed to understand: "Huh?"
Lu Qingmian took a step forward, completely blocking Chen Keai's sight. His expression could no longer be described as cold. He looked at Chen Keai as if he wanted to throw him out of the window again.
Chen Keai curled her lips in a rather regretful manner, "Did we have the same number? Fine, we can be besties."
As if finally getting rid of the haze, Chen Keai's cheerful nature was exposed.
He put down the water cup and began to circle around Jiang Jinyue. He even tried to secretly reach out and touch Jiang Jinyue's wings several times, but was blocked by Lu Qingmian every time.
After a few times, Chen Keai stopped making a fuss, thanked Jiang Jinyue solemnly again, and then left 1203.
Jiang Jinyue wanted to send Chen Keai away, but was rejected by Chen Keai. He patted his chest and promised that nothing would happen to him again.
After walking out of 1203, there was a soft sound of the door closing behind him, and the cheerful look on Chen Keai's face immediately deflated.
He walked towards the elevator dejectedly, took out his cell phone and opened H University's forum.
Posts discussing and scolding him are still there, and the heavy rain outside has not stopped.
He survived, but nothing in the world changed.
Chen Keai clenched his phone tightly, poked the screen hard, and replied to the post cursing him: You guys are a bunch of stinking idiots!!!
After replying, Chen Keai put away his phone, held his head high and chest out, and walked into the elevator with a heroic and confident look.
The world hasn't changed, but he has learned to put on his armor.
After Chen Keai left, silence returned to 1203.
Jiang Jinyue was obviously very curious about his two pairs of wings. He sat on the sofa and touched this and that. After all, they were his own wings, so it didn't matter how he touched them.
Lu Qingmian didn't leave either. He sat on the other side of the sofa, holding his chin and staring at Jiang Jinyue.
After looking for a long time, Jiang Jinyue felt embarrassed and quietly raised one of her wings to block Lu Qingmian's sight.
Lu Qingmian curled his lips and suddenly said, "Jiang Jinyue, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Jinyue's wings, which were blocking Lu Qingmian's view, trembled. He knew that Lu Qingmian was asking him about wings, rainbows, and rain of petals, but Jiang Jinyue didn't know how to explain.
Seeing that Jiang Jinyue didn't answer for a long time, Lu Qingmian didn't urge him.
After a long while, Jiang Jinyue changed the subject abruptly: "When will the rain... stop?"
His voice was trembling, as if he was afraid that Lu Qingmian would want to get to the bottom of it.
But Lu Qingmian didn't.
As if he had never asked the previous question, Lu Qingmian checked his phone and said, "The weather forecast says the rain will stop at daybreak."
"Really..." Jiang Jinyue stood up and walked to the window.
The window was closed by Lu Qingmian, heavy rain was hitting the glass, and it was pitch black outside.
Jiang Jinyue raised his hand and looked at his fingertips. For some reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he could control something, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
He opened the window and heavy rain and strong wind rushed in.
Jiang Jinyue's hair was blown messy, and her breathtakingly beautiful little face squinted in the heavy rain.
He suddenly turned to look at Lu Qingmian, his golden eyes flashing with dazzling light.
"Lu Qingmian, it's the middle of the night and it's raining heavily."
Lu Qingmian raised an eyebrow: "So?"
Jiang Jinyue raised the corners of her mouth, smiling cutely and playfully: "That's why it's dark outside. Even if we go out, no one can see us."
"Go out?" Lu Qingmian rarely followed Jiang Jinyue's train of thought.
Jiang Jinyue picked up the small flower umbrella, stepped onto a chair, stood by the window, and stretched the small flower umbrella out of the window and opened it.
The next second, Jiang Jinyue raised his foot and walked out of the window.
Although he knew that Jiang Jinyue had wings and could not fall, Lu Qingmian was still scared and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinyue's foot did not miss. The moment he stepped down, a golden light suddenly appeared, and countless dazzling golden lines started from different directions, as if an invisible brush was controlling these golden lines, spreading up from the edge of the window, drawing a series of golden steps. The steps continued to extend upward, as if leading to an unknown paradise.
Jiang Jinyue stepped on the stairs, turned around and threw the long sleeves of his coat to Lu Qingmian.
He smiled and asked Lu Qingmian, "Do you want to go out for a walk together?"
Late at night, in heavy rain, I walked towards the sky on the golden steps that appeared out of nowhere.
Lu Qingmian's black eyes were fixed on Jiang Jinyue's smiling face. Suddenly, he strode over, grabbed Jiang Jinyue's sleeve, stepped onto the chair, stepped out of the window, and walked up the golden steps.
The steps were very wide, and even if two people walked side by side with a fist's distance between them, there would still be room left on both sides.
After walking up the stairs, Lu Qingmian took the small flower umbrella from Jiang Jinyue's hand.
They held up a small, gaudy flower umbrella together, stepped on the dazzling golden light, and walked towards the sky step by step.
This golden light not only drew the steps, but also drew lush trees and flourishing flowers and plants on both sides. From time to time, there were even butterflies and flying birds flying among the leaves and grass.
There was golden light in Lu Qingmian's eyes, but his gaze was always fixed on Jiang Jinyue beside him.
Jiang Jinyue was looking around curiously. In fact, he only had a vague understanding of all the changes in himself, and most of his actions came from intuition.
He raised his hand, and a beautiful butterfly landed on his fingertips.
The butterfly was golden all over, and the patterns on its wings were delicate and complex, like an ornament woven from gold thread. However, its thin wings were very flexible when flapping, as if it were a real living butterfly.
Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hand in front of Lu Qingmian, "Lu Qingmian, look!"
Lu Qingmian lowered his eyes and took a look.
Jiang Jinyue still felt it was not enough and urged Lu Qingmian to reach out.
Lu Qingmian raised his hand, and Jiang Jinyue placed the butterfly on his hand.
The butterfly was very well-behaved and listened to Jiang Jinyue's words. When it landed on Lu Qingmian's hand, it stayed there obediently, flapping its wings gently, not flying away and not afraid of people.
Lu Qingmian looked at the butterfly in his hand. Suddenly, the butterfly turned into a fat little bird with a "pop". The bird jumped twice on the back of Lu Qingmian's hand. Its whole body was golden, and it opened its mouth and chirped twice.
The sudden change made Lu Qingmian frown.
Jiang Jinyue grabbed Lu Qingmian's sleeve and laughed so hard that he fell down. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Lu Qingmian looked at Jiang Jinyue's smug expression as he succeeded in his prank, and there was a gentleness in his eyes that he himself didn't know about.
They walked along the spiral golden steps until they passed through the dark clouds and saw a huge bright moon.
The rain was much lighter at this time, and the golden steps seemed to have come to an end. They no longer extended upwards, but instead stretched out into a high platform in front of the bright moon. The platform was surrounded by trees and flowers, and there was even a gentle breeze blowing. Along with the breeze, the golden leaves and petals fell with the wind, slowly falling into the dark deep sky and turning into tiny golden lights before disappearing again.
Jiang Jinyue and Lu Qingmian sat together on the high platform, holding the same small flower umbrella and looking at the bright moon right in front of them.
Their figures appeared small against the moon.
Jiang Jinyue stretched out his hand and gestured to the shape of the moon, "It looks like a big pancake."
Lu Qingmian chuckled, "It's quite similar."
Jiang Jinyue was swinging his calves, feeling particularly relaxed at this moment.
They looked at the moon together and occasionally chatted about some meaningless nonsense.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Jiang Jinyue yawned several times but was reluctant to go back.
Lu Qingmian took out his phone, opened a rhythmic mobile game, and asked, "Want to play a game?"
Jiang Jinyue leaned over curiously, "What game?"
Lu Qingmian: "Master of Rhythm."
Jiang Jinyue had never played any mobile games before, so he watched Lu Qingmian's operation curiously and soon became interested. After Lu Qingmian finished a song, he immediately wanted to try it.
He took the phone that Lu Qingmian handed over, and his fingertips accidentally touched Lu Qingmian's hand.
Lu Qingmian immediately stepped back, but Jiang Jinyue's hand was still frozen in place.
"Did the illusion appear?" Lu Qingmian asked.
Jiang Jinyue shook her head and suddenly looked up at Lu Qingmian. She seemed a little embarrassed about what she was about to say, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Lu Qingmian, can I... touch your hand?"
The moonlight reflected on Lu Qingmian's black eyes.
He looked at Jiang Jinyue deeply and slowly stretched out his hand.
The hand was long and beautiful, and against the backdrop of the cold white skin, the finger bones had an inexplicable sexiness.
Jiang Jinyue placed Lu Qingmian's cell phone on his lap, carefully stretched out his hand, and gently poked Lu Qingmian's palm with his fingertips.
The warm touch is light and floats away as soon as it is touched.
Surprise flashed in Jiang Jinyue's eyes, and his fingertips rested on Lu Qingmian's fingers again. The two hands began to touch from the fingertips, overlapping little by little, until Jiang Jinyue's entire hand was resting on Lu Qingmian's palm.
Cold white and milky white overlap, and the two hands are one big and one small.
Jiang Jinyue suddenly held Lu Qingmian's hand tightly and said happily, "Lu Qingmian! I'm not hallucinating! I'm not even hearing any auditory hallucinations!"
After being kidnapped and rescued, Jiang Jinyue never had physical contact with anyone again.
Holding Lu Qingmian's hand at this moment and feeling the warmth belonging to another person, Jiang Jinyue felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Jiang Jinyue's hands were small and a little soft compared to Lu Qingmian.
He watched as Jiang Jinyue held both of his hands, rubbed them around his, and even tried to intertwine their fingers.
Lu Qingmian's hair hung down, covering the slight redness on the tips of her ears.
He suddenly withdrew his hand, not allowing Jiang Jinyue to touch him.
Jiang Jinyue looked at his empty hands, drooped his shoulders in frustration, raised his head and looked at Lu Qingmian pitifully.
"Doctor Lu..." Jiang Jinyue's voice was soft and pleading, "Your treatment is very effective. I can touch other people's hands now. I haven't touched hands with anyone in a long time. I want..."
"I want to touch your hand again, can I?"
Jiang Jinyue spoke bluntly and frankly, with pure desire ripples in his golden eyes.
Lu Qingmian's breath was choked and he turned his head away.
Jiang Jinyue's little face was full of disappointment, and she slowly lowered her head.
When he lowered his head, he found that Lu Qingmian had turned over the hand that was leaning against him, exposing his palm and placing it between the two of them.
The golden light in Jiang Jinyue's eyes shone brightly again. He immediately stretched out both hands, but Lu Qingmian dodged for a moment. His voice was restrained and cold: "Only one hand."
"Okay." Jiang Jinyue immediately stretched out one hand obediently, placed his fingers on Lu Qingmian's palm, and slowly squeezed his fingertips into Lu Qingmian's fingers.
Lu Qingmian paused, then slowly tightened his grip, clasping his fingers together.
Jiang Jinyue happily swung his calves again, picked up his phone with his other hand, opened Rhythm Master, and played a round.
He was a novice and only used one hand to operate, so the result was predictable. He couldn't even finish a song smoothly.
Jiang Jinyue frowned and held Lu Qingmian's hand tightly, reluctant to let go, but he wanted to play games again.
At this time, Lu Qingmian reached out with his other hand and pressed the side of the phone, "Press that side."
Jiang Jinyue's eyes lit up and he immediately started playing again.
The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, playing games happily in the place closest to the moon.
Until the big moon slowly sets and the morning light becomes dim.
Dynamic music was still playing on the phone, but Jiang Jinyue had already fallen asleep leaning on Lu Qingmian's shoulder.
The rain has stopped.
In the morning light, Jiang Jinyue opened his eyes, dazzled by the sunlight, and whispered, "Lu Qingmian, it's dawn."
"Well, the rain has stopped."
