Chapter 287: Heart is Swinging
The weather in early spring was still a little chilly. Dense rain began to appear under the street lights at some point. The windshield of the car was dotted with tiny raindrops. The wipers began to swing slowly from side to side, and the glass gradually became transparent.
The indescribable emotions in Song Cun's heart seemed to be wiped away bit by bit by the wipers without a trace.
"Is it cold? Do you want to turn up the temperature?"
Liang Zhouheng's usual gentle voice was in her ears. Song Cun didn't feel cold at all. She even felt that the air in the car was very stuffy, and her heartbeat was much faster than usual. She wanted to lower the window a little, breathe deeply, or simply jump out of the car and run away.
She suddenly realized that she sneaked out of the restaurant not just because she was angry and embarrassed, but also because some kind of protective mechanism in her body was activated, forcing her to leave this man who easily made her blush and her heart beat fast.
Song Cun shook her head and said nothing. She just wanted to go home quickly.
"Still angry?"
She could feel him staring at her from the side with a look of deep tenderness.
She replied randomly, "No."
"Can we still be friends in the future?"
From the corner of her eye, she could see the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his handsome features appeared even clearer and more three-dimensional under the light of the rainy night. She didn't dare to look up and meet his gaze.
She was a soft-hearted person. He had already apologized and explained. If she said "no" now, she would be too unfair to him.
She nodded, then thought of something and said, "But you don't have to help me anymore. You've already helped me a lot in the company. I want to rely on myself for the rest."
Liang Zhouheng stroked the steering wheel with his fingers, and after a moment, he replied with a faint smile: "Okay."
Song Cun relaxed a little, and the car soon arrived at the community where she lived, but the weather was bad and many vehicles were parked randomly. Their car finally stopped about a hundred meters away from the apartment building.
"I can't get through. There's no umbrella in the car. Do you have an umbrella with you?"
Liang Zhouheng's gaze slowly moved from outside the car to her canvas bag.
"I forgot to bring an umbrella. It doesn't matter. It's not far away anyway. I can just run back. The rain is getting heavier. You should go back early too."
As Song Cun spoke, he opened his coat, stuffed the bag into his arms, and turned to open the door.
Liang Zhouheng didn't even have time to call her before the little girl ran into the rain, one hand raised above her head and the other holding her coat and the bag in her arms.
Liang Zhouheng hesitated briefly, his eyes darkened, he took off his cashmere coat, opened the car door, and strode after him.
"No matter how healthy you are, you can't do this. You want to take a leave right after you start working?"
The man's slightly low voice penetrated the sound of the dripping rain and came from behind. Song Cun turned her head and saw that the man's black coat had reached her head, instantly blocking out the cold rain. Song Cun's face, which was washed by the rain, was stunned for a moment. In her wet eyes, the man frowned slightly, his eyes were deep.
Most of his white shirt was wet.
Song Cun froze in place and said to him urgently, "I'm fine, go back to the car..."
He interrupted her directly, "Since you like the rain so much, why don't I stand here with you."
"Run away now."
Only then did Song Cun raise his legs and start running.
The man's slight panting sound as he ran was close to her ears. Song Cun could feel that he had wrapped her whole body under him. The black cashmere coat was warm and hot. During the short distance of 100 meters, her heart felt like it was swinging in the air and almost flew out.
