The September rain brought a hint of autumn coolness, and the air was filled with the smell of dust, which was unforgettable.
The umbrella Qingting brought was not small, more than enough for one person to hold, but if two people were to hold it, they would have to sit closer to each other.
But Wei Lai refused to do so. He knew without thinking that if he did that, she would laugh at him again.
Walking on the drizzling street, the two always kept a distance of more than a fist.
Wei Lai would rather get wet in the rain than be laughed at by Qing Ting.
"How did you know it would rain this afternoon?"
"I don't know. Didn't you tell me to bring an umbrella if I'm afraid of the sun? I'll listen to you."
Qingting's tone revealed her trust in him, and the smile on her lips seemed particularly gentle with the early autumn drizzle beside her.
[You must be hiding some secret and trying to deceive me.]
Wei Lai didn't buy it. He turned his gaze towards the houses on both sides of the road with a stern face.
What an idiot! He doesn't even know the weather forecast.
It was obviously common sense, but Qingting just didn't tell Wei Lai, wanting to see when he would find out.
When she thought of the day when Wei Lai discovered the truth and his face full of regret, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
Looking at the rain-shrouded streets ahead, my eyes were full of anticipation.
There was still a short distance to go before home, and Qingting didn't say anything. Wei Laixian couldn't help it and turned around to peek at her.
[Why is it that when she is quiet she is always so beautiful, making it hard to guard against.]
Wei Lai was muttering to himself when Qingting suddenly turned her head, which scared him and he quickly looked away.
"Are you spying on me again?"
"No, I just wanted to see what you were looking at."
"How do you know what I'm looking at if you don't peek at me?"
Qingting's words left Wei Lai unable to refute, and he admitted with a stiff upper lip: "Look at what you are looking at, how can it be considered peeping, you are unreasonable!"
"That's right." Qingting continued to look around. "Then I'll tell you what I'm looking at. I'm checking to see if you've arrived at your house. I've only been there a few times, so I'm a little unsure."
"Over there, that's the house." Wei Lai pointed to the house more than a hundred meters away. "In ten minutes, my parents will be home from get off work. After you've looked at my room, you'd better leave quickly so they don't see you."
Wei Lai had a tense face and a very serious expression. Qingting covered her mouth with her hand, and her shoulders and the umbrella in her other hand couldn't help but tremble.
"why are you laughing?"
"Laughing at you showing your room to others, like you were on a date with a girl and you didn't want your parents to see you."
Being discovered, Qingting simply let go of Wei Lai's hand, not hiding the smile on her face, and poked Wei Lai's face with her slender fingers, "Have you ever brought a girl back to your room before, and your parents found out, and did you get scolded?"
"No!" Wei Lai denied angrily.
[It’s because I’ve never brought a girl into my room before that I don’t want my parents to find out.]
Hearing Wei Lai's inner thoughts, Qing Ting's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and replied absentmindedly:
"Oh, I see. I'll just take a look and leave after I'm done."
"That's better."
…
The rain was still falling, and the water hit the wall, gathering into drops and falling down the eaves.
Standing in front of his house, Wei Lai stared at the gate for a while, then turned his head to look at the street behind him. After making sure that his parents had not returned home early, he took out the key to open the door.
"Why do you come home like a thief?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm used to it when I get home."
The door was opened and a faint scent of lavender wafted out of the house.
That was Xu Xiang's habit. She liked to put a bottle of perfume in the living room at home to relieve the fatigue she and Wei Zikang felt after returning home from work.
Qingting followed Wei Lai into the house. She smelled the faint floral scent in the air and couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.
"Auntie has changed her perfume again, but it still smells so good. I really want to come to your house every day."
"It disappeared after I opened the window to ventilate it."
Wei Lai doesn't like the smell of perfume in the house. When Xu Xiang comes home in the evening, he will open the window to ventilate for half an hour, and the same in the morning.
I really don't understand. If you need to open the windows for ventilation, why bother spending money on perfume?
"What a pity, I still like it very much." Qingting sniffed it a few more times and liked it more and more.
"Let's go. You don't have to see my room. Let's finish it quickly and go back early." Wei Lai looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. The time for his parents to come back was getting closer and closer. He began to feel a sense of urgency. He took Qingting's hand and walked upstairs.
"Slow down, don't be so anxious." Qingting quickly put the umbrella in the corner and followed Wei Lai.
Wei Lai's room is on the second floor of his house and the door is usually closed.
In addition to a desk for homework and a bed for sleeping, there is also a bookshelf in the room. There are not many things on the bookshelf. In addition to the basic encyclopedia with pictures, there is also a Pikachu doll with a few comic books underneath. The rest is a box of chess with a pine wood chessboard and a flying chess in a cardboard box commonly seen in convenience stores. There are also two layers of bookshelves, which are currently only used to store daily shoes and slippers.
When Qingting entered the room, she fell in love with his Pikachu doll at first sight. Then she pointed to the empty space in the room and asked Wei Lai where his clothes were.
Wei Lai told her that her mother usually kept the clothes and took them out when she needed to wear them.
After saying that, Qingting's eyes fell on the flying chess on the bookshelf again, and she pulled Wei Lai and said:
"How about you give me Pikachu, or play Ludo with me?"
"Xiao Wei, are there any classmates coming to our house?"
Before he could answer, Wei Lai heard Xu Xiang's voice coming from downstairs.
