"If it really doesn't work, can I borrow your umbrella? You just need to drop me off at the school gate."
That way, neither she nor he would get wet in the rain.
Yang Yu laughed and slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot I could do that."
He opened his umbrella: "Let's go."
"Um."
...
The two walked side by side. Yang Yu, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was much taller than Xing Fei. He held the umbrella in his left hand and deliberately moved it to the left to make sure that Xing Fei wouldn't get wet.
The two chatted casually for a while and soon arrived at the school gate.
"I'll wait for the car here, you go ahead and do your work," Xing Fei said.
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry," Yang Yu said. "I'll see you into a taxi before I leave."
Although there were far fewer taxis than usual due to the rain, luckily this was near the school gate, and there was a food street nearby, so I only had to wait two or three minutes to flag down an empty taxi.
The taxi stopped in front of her, and Yang Yu opened the door for her. Xing Fei was about to get in.
"Xiao Fei," he called her.
"Um?"
Yang Yu's eyes darted around, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He pursed his thin lips and asked, "Can we add each other on WeChat?"
Xing Fei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure."
She took out her phone, and the two quickly became friends.
Before getting into the car, Xing Fei thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Thank you."
Yang Yu chuckled: "I've heard your 'thank you' three times today."
Xing Fei was a little embarrassed.
She got into the car, and Yang Yu, who was holding an umbrella, stepped in slightly. He freed one hand to touch her hair and said gently, "I'll call you later. Hang up when you get home."
Xing Fei was bewildered, not understanding what he meant, but Yang Yu had already closed the door.
As the taxi drove away from the school gate, Xing Fei was still wondering what he meant when she heard a "ding-dong" sound—a new message had arrived on WeChat.
The message to unlock the phone came from Yang Yu.
[A while ago, a female college student had an accident while traveling alone. Girls must protect themselves when they're out and about. I said that to let the driver know you've been in contact with me and aren't alone. I've also taken a picture of his license plate. I'll call you later; just answer occasionally. Hang up when you get home.]
He is a very meticulous person; he even thought of this.
Sure enough, Yang Yu answered the phone two minutes later.
"Hello?"
As soon as the call connected, I heard his clear and refreshing voice.
"On its way?" he asked.
"Yes," Xing Fei replied, "Have you gone back to your dorm?"
The person on the other end chuckled softly: "I'm a local from Beijing, I don't live on campus."
"Oh, I see." Xing Fei was busy with work and rarely paid attention to school matters. "Have you gotten on the bus yet?"
"I've arrived at the garage and am about to get in the car."
Xing Fei asked in surprise, "You can drive?"
"Hmm." The sound of a car door opening came from the other end: "If I wasn't afraid you'd mistake me for a bad person with ill intentions, I would have driven you home myself."
Hearing the teasing voice from the other end, Xing Fei, who had been keeping quiet for several days, finally showed her first smile: "Pfft—are there really bad guys as handsome as you?"
A hearty laugh came from the other end: "So you're praising me?"
"I……"
"Thank you, I will try my best to become more handsome."
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Yang Yu was a very talkative person, and the two chatted casually for the entire journey.
