Zhou Chu had originally planned to stroll around Qingjie with Gao Qinyi.
But as the sun set, they had barely begun their stroll when they felt a strong mountain wind.
It was the kind of mountain breeze that suddenly appeared, carrying moisture.
The next second, the last bit of red sunset disappeared, replaced by dark blue clouds.
Zhou Chu never expected that the climate in Qingcheng, which is also located in the north, would change so quickly.
Logically speaking, rain should first cause overcast skies, then clouds, then wind, and finally large raindrops.
This whole process takes at least two hours to prepare.
But Qingcheng overturned his understanding; within five minutes, a heavy rain had already begun.
It was a very heavy rain.
It came very suddenly, and the raindrops were ridiculously large.
Zhou Chu and Gao Qinyi were forced to take shelter from the rain under the eaves of the side of the main hall of the Xuan Nu Temple.
Looking at the raindrops outside the door, they shattered into eight pieces the moment they hit the ground.
The eight pieces, almost equally divided, splashed all around, with many even penetrating the eaves where they sought shelter from the rain.
"Sister Qin, what should we do?" Zhou Chu sighed and looked at the clothes she was wearing.
Since it was a sunny day when she came out, she was only wearing a simple light jacket over a short-sleeved shirt.
I was already trembling a little.
"Let's wait for the rain to stop." Gao Qinyi sighed and instinctively hugged herself tighter.
They looked incredibly pitiful.
This is completely at odds with her usual image as a strong, independent woman.
But seeing her trembling lips, Zhou Chu still slightly opened his trench coat.
"Come in."
Fortunately, he bought a rather oversized coat, which was big enough for two people to fit inside.
Zhou Chu even suspected that the designer of this garment probably created it for this very reason.
Gao Qinyi obediently crawled inside.
It brought a chill to Zhou Chu, but he withstood it.
He leaned slightly outwards, facing the wind and rain, completely sheltering Gao Qinyi under his coat.
Gao Qinyi was not small at all; her face was right next to his neck.
Her hands naturally embraced the boy who had pulled her into his arms.
"Are you feeling any better?" Zhou Chu rubbed his arm against her body.
The heavy rain behind him seemed to have disappeared, and now his gaze was fixed solely on Gao Qinyi.
I guess I could call this boyfriend material?
Contrary to what her grandfather said, she wasn't actually that weak.
Otherwise, would you let your granddaughter hide in your arms?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, and gently nuzzled her head with his lips and nose.
"Much better!" Gao Qinyi said, looking at the rainy scene outside.
Instead of getting smaller, it got bigger and bigger.
But she was no longer as nervous as she had been when she first saw the rain; instead, she began to enjoy it.
Otherwise, how could I have been embraced like this!
Feeling Zhou Chu's aura mingling with the scent of the heavy rain, there was a strange allure to it.
Even if this heavy rain never stops, it's fine, as I can stay in Zhou Chu's arms the whole time.
Even so, it doesn't matter if it lasts forever!
The reason they didn't go into the Xuan Nu Temple to take shelter from the rain was because Gao Qinyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the Xuan Nu.
It would make her very uncomfortable; she would rather stand under the eaves!
It rained for a full ten minutes.
The rain then stopped.
As the rain subsided, the street began to bustle again.
But it's still quieter than before; this is the tranquility after the rain.
"Let's go." Zhou Chu grabbed her hand and walked towards the shop next door.
This place sells noodles, and they smell amazing.
Moreover, the seats are all outside, so you can enjoy the view while you eat.
After the rain stopped, time seemed to turn back time.
From the moment the sun had set, we were suddenly transported back to a scene of a sky ablaze with the glow of the setting sun!
The entire sky was crimson, the color not as vibrant as before the heavy rain, but as if a touch of red had spread out.
It's even more romantic than before.
Gao Qinyi was eating mackerel-filled buns, trying to eat one in two bites, and showed no interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery.
The buns were enormous, as big as Zhou Chu's palm.
The key is that the price is also very cheap! A bun only costs five yuan.
But Zhou Chu always felt that such a beautiful view should be used for sipping tea, not for stuffing food.
Then he took a big bite of the bun.
It's really fresh and fragrant.
It also has a faint fishy smell. The cuisine in Qingcheng is actually quite similar to that in Liancheng. Seafood is not seasoned with too many spices.
What we're really craving is the taste of something freshly caught.
Clearly, this mackerel also has a perfect flavor.
The only slight disappointment was that there wasn't enough moisture in the air; it seemed to have evaporated quickly, and there was no rainbow after the rain as I had imagined.
But this is romantic enough.
From the mountain road, you can see almost half of Qingcheng Mountain, all shrouded in tranquility.
Although it's a big city, at times like this it feels like I've returned to a small mountain village.
"Let's go." Gao Qinyi pulled out a napkin and wiped her mouth.
Although she looks very quiet and cute now, she wasn't like this just now when she snatched the steamed bun from me.
She bought six steamed buns in total, and ate four of them by herself.
"Okay." Zhou Chu pointed to one end, then to the other: "Shall we turn back this way or go back the way we came?"
“Of course we’ll turn back this way!” Gao Qinyi said earnestly, holding his hand. “What if you had to make the decision?”
“Then let’s go back the way we came.” Zhou Chu nodded, pointing in the opposite direction.
"Then why are you asking me?" Gao Qinyi said with a laugh, grabbing his hand.
If Zhou Chu were to come here by himself, he would definitely find it very boring.
This applies to all tourist attractions, because there is no fundamental difference between them. The reason why people feel differently is because of their different states of mind.
Like Zhou Chu right now, holding Qin Jie's hand, he's in a good mood, so the scenery looks beautiful.
I even want to visit it again.
"Wait a moment."
Down the mountain, Gao Qinyi stopped Zhou Chu and took out her phone.
After a series of dialing and ringing sounds, the call was finally connected.
"What do you need me for?" It was a voice that Shi Qianfei knew very well.
With a slightly nasal tone, it was clear she was lying down comfortably.
"We're on Qing Street, and we'd like to invite you to dinner!" Gao Qinyi said very seriously.
Although she knew it was a lie, she just wanted to hitch a ride with Shi Qianfei.
After all, it's quite far from Qingdao University.
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Shi Qianfei's voice changed slightly, as if she had turned around. "Come back by yourself. I'm tired and need to rest. If you're bringing me something, I want a steamed mandarin fish and a steamed sea bass."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
