But... what is Gu Yao angry about?
Zhou Chunhua put down her phone, looking puzzled.
She looked up and saw Lu Ming's smug smile. She was immediately baffled.
Gu Yao was inexplicably angry, but why was Lu Ming also inexplicably happy?
"What are you so happy about?" Zhou Chunhua put her phone into her bag.
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "I'm not really happy about anything, I just think rainy days are pretty nice too."
Zhou Chunhua glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside the pavilion and rolled her eyes.
In the middle of the night, standing on a mountaintop in the wind and rain, how did he manage to lie through his teeth?
"Huahua, do you think we can see the sunrise?" Lu Ming suddenly asked.
She had no interest in paying attention to Lu Ming. She turned to look at the rain outside, hoping it would stop soon so she could go down the mountain.
Being caught in the rain on a mountaintop in the middle of the night is really speechless.
She felt even more speechless, especially when she was with Lu Ming.
"Hua Hua, do you remember the first time you spoke to me?"
Zhou Chunhua turned her head and looked, feeling even more confused.
She was in the same class as Lu Ming, but Lu Ming, who was incredibly dazzling from the start of the semester, was always surrounded by people wherever he went.
It's fair to say they never even made eye contact.
Even though Lu Ming later became a negative example in the eyes of all the teachers in the school, in her memory, they never spoke a word to each other.
Just as she was digging into her memories, she heard Lu Ming say, "It seems you don't remember."
Zhou Chunhua did not respond.
In her opinion, how could she not remember? She clearly remembered that they had never spoken a word to each other.
However, she did not respond, and the air around them seemed awkward.
“That morning, it was raining just as hard,” Lu Ming suddenly broke the silence.
“I remember…” Lu Ming gazed at the twinkling lights in the distance and said softly, “That morning, you walked up to me with a black umbrella covered in tiny yellow flowers and asked me, ‘Are you alright?’”
You know what? At that moment, you were glowing, like...like an angel descended from heaven. When you held the umbrella over my head, the wind around us didn't seem so cold anymore, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhou Chunhua interrupted, "Are you sure you're talking about me?"
She couldn't believe she was being pointed at.
Lu Ming turned around, looked at her, nodded, and said with certainty, "It's you!"
"No! Definitely not! You must have mistaken me for someone else!" To her, those words sounded like something out of a novel.
Zhou Chunhua found it somewhat absurd.
If such a thing really happened, how could she have no memory of it at all!
She's just old, not stupid!
"You must have mistaken me for someone else."
Lu Ming didn't argue, but instead smiled slightly: "You really don't remember? The boy who fell off his bicycle and couldn't get up at the bottom of the steep slope next to the school, where you pass through the culvert."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Chunhua was dumbfounded.
"That person... was it you?"
"See, I told you you hadn't forgotten me, right?"
Zhou Chunhua: ...
That's true.
It seems like it really did rain that hard that day.
As I hurried to school with my umbrella, I saw a bicycle lying on its side at the bottom of a steep slope, its tires still spinning.
Out of curiosity, she took a few more glances and discovered that there was a person lying on the ground next to the bicycle.
He lay there motionless, large raindrops falling on him.
Because it's near a school, most of the people passing by are students.
Seeing this, many students were terrified, saying that someone had died, and no one dared to go forward.
She then went up and took a look.
The person lying on the ground had their face covered in blood and mud, making it impossible to see what they looked like.
When she saw that the person was still alive, she did ask, "Are you alright?"
But the person lying on the ground not only didn't answer her, he didn't even open his eyes.
Back then, there were no cell phones; only some small shops had public telephones.
She had no choice but to put her umbrella there to shield him from the rain, and then ran to the school to find a teacher to call an ambulance.
It wasn't far from the school, but because it was raining so hard, she was soaked to the bone when she ran to school.
After she told the teacher what happened, the teacher told her to go to the infirmary to dry her wet clothes so as not to catch a cold.
That's why she didn't go back to get the umbrella.
At the time, she clearly remembered that the person wasn't wearing a school uniform, and she could only vaguely tell that he was a boy around her age. She didn't think much of it and just assumed he was a classmate from another school.
I never expected it to be Lu Ming.
Looking at Lu Ming in front of her, Zhou Chunhua felt even more embarrassed.
So... he's doing all this nonsense to repay a debt of gratitude?
But what era are we living in? Who would offer themselves in marriage now?
"Well? You remember now!" Lu Ming said excitedly.
Zhou Chunhua awkwardly looked away and silently gazed at the heavy rain outside.
Lu Ming suddenly moved closer to her, and she unconsciously moved to the side, wanting to keep her distance from him.
"Let's go home." A familiar voice came from outside the pavilion.
Zhou Chunhua looked over in disbelief.
Lu Ming showed no surprise whatsoever, as if... he had long anticipated this scene.
In the pouring rain, Gu Yao walked over, holding an umbrella in one hand.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yao's sudden appearance was like sunshine, instantly dispelling her fear.
Gu Yao leaned the umbrella against the pillar, and a raincoat appeared in his hand.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go home? I brought you a raincoat." Gu Yao opened the raincoat: "Next time you want to go hiking, I'll come with you."
"There are always some people who don't even check the weather forecast before going out. Bringing you up the mountain in the middle of the night to get soaked in the rain, I really don't know what they're thinking."
Zhou Chunhua didn't answer. She walked over and naturally put on the raincoat.
After all, she didn't know how to explain it to Gu Yao.
Wait! Why is she explaining? And why is there something strange about Gu Yao's words?
While he was thinking, Gu Yao helped her put on her hat and then turned around to take back the umbrella that was leaning against the pillar.
"Let's go."
Zhou Chunhua turned around and glanced at Lu Ming.
Didn't you bring an extra umbrella?
Gu Yao shook his head frankly: "No." Then, he looked at Lu Ming with a cold gaze: "Since it was President Lu who invited you up the mountain, I suppose President Lu also wants to watch the sunrise."
Perfect! If we wait overnight in this pavilion, we can see the sunrise.
Before Zhou Chunhua could speak, Lu Ming interrupted, "It's alright, Attorney Gu is right. I was hoping to see the sunrise. It's just a pity that such a beautiful sight is only for me to see by myself; it would be a bit of a waste."
"Really? How many people would you like to watch together, Mr. Lu? I'll do you a favor and arrange it for you right away."
After Gu Yao finished speaking, Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but sniff.
That's strange... why does it smell like gunpowder?
