“So…rainwater is so salty.”

Leaning against the railing, holding the tin can, Xia Ruoming felt the cold rain sliding down her face and entering her mouth mixed with tears that had fallen at some point in time.

"Sister, please drink less!" Ji Chuan took another look at the six empty cans on the ground and couldn't help but worry about Xia Ruoming.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm fine. Don't you always brag about your drinking capacity? Why, your sister is treating us and you're afraid that she'll spend more money on you? You can't handle just a few cans of beer?" Xia Ruoming raised the tin can and clinked it with the tin can in Ji Chuan's hand.

The two of them were enjoying the cool late night breeze on the open rooftop.

Since it was the Spanish royal series, the alcohol content was over 20. In addition, Xia Ruoming's alcohol tolerance was not that good, so she was a little drunk at the moment.

For some reason, Ji Chuan suddenly received a call from Xia Ruoming, who asked him to come out and have a drink with her on the rooftop of his apartment. After Zhong Hui heard this, she asked Ji Chuan to bring some homemade braised dishes upstairs.

When Ji Chuan saw Xia Ruoming's face, he realized that she looked more tired than ever.

People are not always able to face the world with 100% courage. Once the courage is temporarily exhausted, the human spirit itself will become weak.

After feeling that Xu Fengwu's life had re-intertwined with her own in another way, Xia Ruoming's heart was indeed shaken. The feeling of running out of courage did not come from rejecting Xu Fengwu, but from resisting her own wavering heart.

"What a beautiful moonlight, but it's a rainy day..." Xia Ruoming looked at the sky and took another sip of the beer in her hand, as if lamenting her past that had already ended.

"Cheers!"

Ji Chuan raised his glass helplessly. The sound of metal collision was heard, and he continued to drink with Xia Ruoming.

…

Xia Jingsong was driving home after picking up Liu Ruoxue who had just gotten off work. They knew that Xia Ruoming had called today and said that someone was treating her and she would not be going home for dinner, so they ate outside before going home.

"It's raining? I wonder if the child has an umbrella." Liu Ruoxue looked at the raindrops appearing on the car window and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"What are you worried about? When has our daughter never carried an umbrella?" Xia Jingsong looked at his wife with some confusion. His wife should not be unaware of such things. She was worrying too much.

"You know nothing."

Liu Ruoxue sighed helplessly. Xia Jingsong was so busy at work that he didn't have time to see his daughter every day when she got home from school. It was true that Xia Ruoming carried an umbrella every day, but there were people who didn't carry an umbrella every day. If her daughter's umbrella was for her, how could she become a drowned chicken when it rained heavily?

If Xu Fengwu didn’t bring an umbrella, would his daughter use the umbrella for herself?

Speaking of which, this pig-brained guy doesn't know who the heir is, so he doesn't carry two umbrellas.

Oh, she didn’t bring two umbrellas. Maybe she didn’t want her mother to know that she was in love.

"Hey, Old Xia, look at that guy over there." The road was slippery due to the rain, so Xia Jingsong didn't drive very fast. At this time, Liu Ruoxue was staring out the window in a trance. She called out Xia Jingsong and tapped the car window with her hand.

"What's wrong? What's so good about passers-by?" Xia Jingsong also looked in the direction of Liu Ruoxue's hand.

"Isn't that the person my daughter likes? His name is...Xu Fengwu? Why is she walking outside alone without an umbrella on a rainy day?"

"Has something happened? Do you want to go and take a look?" Xia Jingsong's tone was a little reluctant; he didn't like to meddle in other people's business.

"Stop the car, Lao Xia."

Xu Yihan will not be back until late at night, and Xu Fengwu just discovered... that she left her keys at home.

In other words, she has nowhere to go now.

She lowered her head, cried, and walked in the cold rain in a daze. She had just been rejected by Xia Ruoming and didn't know where to go.

No matter how cold the clothes wet by the spring rain are, they are not as cold as her heart.

Suddenly, the rain seemed to stop falling on her, and the light was blocked by a shadow. Xu Fengwu raised her tear-swollen eyes and looked ahead. A woman was standing in front of her with an umbrella to shield her from the rain.

"Don't be afraid, I'm Xia Ruoming's mother, Liu Ruoxue." Seeing Xu Fengwu subconsciously wanting to retreat, Liu Ruoxue comforted him softly. Her red and swollen eyes showed that she had just cried.

Fragmentary memories flashed through her mind, and she remembered that she had indeed seen Xia Ruoming and this woman standing together at a parent-teacher meeting in junior high school a long time ago. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes like a dam breaking, and she threw herself into Liu Ruoxue's arms.

"Aunt Liu... wuwu..." She was so numb that she could not feel the pain in her eyes, and she shouted with a choked voice.

"Kid, what's wrong with you... Okay, okay, stop crying. It's not good to be outside in the rain. Come to the car first, okay?" Liu Ruoxue also took her hand, comforting her while slowly pulling her away. Only then did Liu Ruoxue realize that Xu Fengwu seemed so light and had no strength at all.

In the car, Xu Fengwu thought of many things but couldn't say them.

Xia Ruoming dumped her and left herself alone. She could be gentle to Chu Suhe and went out to look for her in the heavy rain. She could be gentle to Xiao Qinghan and hugged the drunk Xiao Qinghan in her arms, but she was no longer gentle to her. But what could she do?

She has made it very clear, we should just keep each other in our memories and owe each other nothing from now on.

Even if Xia Ruoming likes more than one person, and is dating three people at the same time, what does it have to do with me?

Xia Ruoming did like her, but didn’t she reject him?

From the beginning to the end, she was not Xia Ruoming's girlfriend, so what qualifications did she have to judge Xia Ruoming's choice?
