Chapter 1485 Walking in the Rain
Swish, swish.
The raindrops hit his coat, the sound of them rustling in his ears. The fresh, moist air penetrated into his blood vessels through his pores, making him shiver involuntarily, but Plan didn't notice at all.
She was wrapped in Gawain's arms, with the clean scent of soap lingering under her nose. The touch of their skin made her heart beat a little disorderly, and happiness and joy filled her chest little by little.
Tap, tap, tap.
They ran all the way under the cover of their coats and umbrellas, their footsteps splashing in the shallow puddles, as if they were back in their childhood, playing in rain boots and raincoats on a rainy afternoon, and they could be happy for the whole afternoon without the need for toys.
Then, the rain stopped.
As a result, my mother dragged me home with my ear, feeling both distressed and angry, and threw me into the bathroom to take a scalding hot bath. My mother couldn't stop nagging me and lingered in the bathroom for a long time.
But the child didn't understand, and smiled heartily, as if he had just experienced the most beautiful and happiest afternoon in the world. The mother couldn't help but smile in the end, and couldn't scold him anymore.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
After a long time, when they grow up, they seem to no longer find the joy of playing in the water. There are more and more entertainment methods in life, but happiness seems to be more and more difficult, and smiles can no longer climb up the wrinkled eyebrows.
When he raised his head, Plan could see Gawain's jaw, which was so tall and straight that it could easily support the whole world.
As if sensing the warmth of his gaze, Gao Wen looked over. The two men's eyes met, and they were slightly stunned, with a smile gently rising in their eyes.
All the way to the corner of the street, the two people stood in front of a closed shop door, and were able to take a brief breath under the narrow eaves.
Gao Wen shook his coat vigorously, looked between the two people, and raised the corners of his mouth, "See, I told you it's waterproof."
Except for their sleeves and trouser legs, the two men were not very wet.
Plan was also full of surprise.
Gawain pulled up his coat again, creating a small safe haven to protect Plan as he continued to run.
A small coat, a small world, a small world——
Although it was a bit crowded and a bit messy, the sound of the wind and rain made the whole world quiet. Only the heartbeat was surging on the eardrums, and the scattered thoughts were also gathered bit by bit. The unprecedented sense of intimacy made the corners of my mouth slightly rise.
Running, side by side, closely connected.
In the wind and rain, happiness gradually overflowed, and even my footsteps became lighter. I no longer worried about the rain wetting my socks and shoes. Instead, I stepped hard on the water. The pattering sounds made laughter surge under my little coat. Even though there was nothing, I laughed more and more happily.
Keep moving forward.
In this way, after three stops and transfers, we successfully arrived at the library entrance and were finally able to enter.
Two people stood under the eaves at the door and tidied themselves up a bit to avoid entering the library in a mess.
Plan was still a little out of breath. She looked up at Gawain, who looked calm. His breathing was still steady, without any fatigue, which made her feel amazed.
It turns out that professional players and ordinary people are not from the same planet.
Previously, people were worried that Gawain was overly tired, but now it seems that there will be no problem even if Gawain returns to the court to continue the game. Professionalism is professionalism.
"What's wrong?" Gawain noticed Plan's gaze and looked over.
Plan felt a little embarrassed. He decided to put aside the random thoughts in his mind and quickly shifted his gaze. He looked quietly at the raindrops that formed a line in front of him. He stretched out his hand and caught the raindrops with his palm.
“Actually, I like rain very much.”
Gao Wen didn't think much about it, "I don't like it."
"Can't we play ball because it's raining?" Plan asked curiously.
Gao Wen chuckled, "Then why do you like the rain?"
It seems that the guess was right. A smile overflowed from Plan's eyes. Then he looked at the heavy rain in front of him, and his thoughts spread in the rain.
"When I was little, I could wear my favorite blue raincoat when it rained, so I wanted to get into the rain and show off my raincoat to the whole world."
Imagine little Plan running wildly on the street in a blue raincoat, showing off, and a soft laugh surged and rolled deep in my throat.
Plan was lost in his own thoughts. He had just intended to change the subject, but before he knew it he was caught up in the drizzle before him. The ups and downs of watching the game over the past two weeks surged through his mind.
"When I grew up it was a little different. I still liked the rain but for different reasons."
"You see, the world is getting bigger and bigger. Not only is transportation becoming more and more convenient, you can be in Paris in the morning and on the other side of the world in the afternoon. The Internet also allows us to receive the whole world while sitting at home."
"But the world is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more information, but we are becoming less and less happy. Disturbing things are coming in waves, and we are becoming more and more anxious, more and more nervous, and more and more panicked. We are caught in a mess and our heads are about to explode."
“That’s why I like the rain.”
“Every time it rains, the world shrinks back under the eaves, our footsteps are trapped behind the rain curtain, and then everything becomes quiet and time slows down.”

Rustle, rustle.
In the sound of rain, Plan's voice surges so quietly and gently.
Gawain looked at Plan in front of him, raised his chin slightly, stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, feeling the rhythm of the drizzle dancing on his fingertips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a little melancholy but more of happiness.
Plop…
Gawain's heart hit his chest hard, and the tiredness, sleepiness, and exhaustion slowly disappeared. He didn't need to care about the attacks from reporters or the noise from the world. Nothing mattered.
Maybe Plan didn't know about the post-match press conference, but Plan showed up at the hotel as soon as possible.
The hustle and bustle, the glitz and the noise are no longer important at this moment.
Then.
Gawain took off his hat, leaned closer to Plan, and covered their cheeks with his hat.
The hat blocked out the sound of rain and the entire world on the other side.
They did this until their breathing became rapid, and then they slowly let go of each other.
Gao Wen still did not leave, he gently stroked Su Pulan's cheek with his cheek and whispered in her ear, "The whole world is fake, only my love for you is real."
Plop.
Plan's heart skipped a beat, he raised his eyes, and suddenly his eyes met the depths of Gawain's pupils, his happiness blooming like fireworks.
Carefully, Plan used her eyes to slowly depict the light and shadow in Gawain's eyes. Then, in that clearness, she could see her own face, like a peach blossom, gently dyeing two blushes on her cheeks. But she had no time to regret, because the rhythm of her heartbeat should disturb her thoughts.
Then--
Falling, just falling slowly, falling in love in a free fall.
