Chapter 77 Spend Time Together
The raindrops began to get heavier, hitting the stone road with crackling sounds.
The wind blew up dust and fallen leaves, making it impossible to open one's eyes. The group almost tumbled and crawled down the slippery stone steps.
As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard door of the B&B with a small lamp hanging on it, the wind outside suddenly intensified and turned into a violent howl!
The big tree outside the courtyard wall was swaying wildly in the wind, and its branches and leaves groaned in pain.
The clothes drying on the second-floor balcony of the homestay became the first victims.
"My shirt!" Yu Shu was sharp-eyed and saw that his flashy bright yellow shirt was suddenly pulled off the clothesline by the strong wind, and flew towards them like a kite with a broken string!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't come over here!" Yu Shu subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but the shirt was controlled by the strong wind and "snapped" with incredible precision, covering his head and face!
"Pfft!" Tang Ximian almost laughed out loud, but seeing Yu Shu struggling in his wet clothes, he quickly held back his laughter and rushed over to help.
He tore off the shirt covering Yu Shu's head, and at the same time quickly grabbed another T-shirt that was about to be blown away.
The two of them fought against the strong wind that could have blown people away, and they frantically grabbed and pulled at the few pieces of clothes that were still "fighting hard" on the balcony, and finally rescued them and filled their arms with them.
"Huh... Huh... What a horrible weather!" Yu Shu was panting heavily, his hair was blown like a chicken coop by the wind, and there were some water stains on his face from his shirt. He looked in a mess.
"Come in, come in!" Tang Ximian was also in a mess. Holding wet clothes, he and Yu Shu staggered into the warm main room of the homestay.
Behind me, the long-brewing rainstorm finally poured down. The dense raindrops slammed against the tiles and windows frantically, making a deafening sound, and instantly enveloped the sky and the earth in a white curtain of water.
Due to the sudden rainstorm, the yellow warning is approaching the red warning.
After the school learned about this, it immediately organized teachers to register and check each room in the homestay, and issued a clear order to ensure the safety of every student.
The teacher completed the registration in each room, repeatedly reminded everyone of safety issues, and then hurried to the next room.
The door was closed, blocking out the serious footsteps of the teachers in the corridor and the roar of the wind and rain.
Only Tang Ximian, Yu Shu, and the rain outside the window that seemed to swallow everything were left in the small room.
Tang Ximian had just draped the rescued wet clothes on the back of the chair and was about to take a breath when the cell phone in his pocket began to vibrate. The name jumping on the screen was like a ray of light breaking through the haze - Si Yankai.
He answered almost immediately, his voice still a little breathless from running and still a bit nervous: "Hello?"
"Hello," the voice on the other end of the line came immediately, a little deeper and more rapid than usual, clearly penetrating the patter of rain. "How are you guys doing? I've received a red alert for heavy rain, and the location is near your ancient town!"
"We just ran back and got a little wet," Tang Ximian reported subconsciously. He walked to the window and looked at the white outside. The rain was madly washing over the glass. "The teacher just finished checking the room and said it was dangerous outside. He told us to stay in the room and not go out. Someone will bring us food."
As he spoke, his voice softened unconsciously, with a hint of comfort in his voice, "The rain is so heavy, it's like the sky is leaking, and the wind is howling, it's scary..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a second, and Si Yankai's voice became noticeably tenser: "Did you get caught in the rain? Are your clothes wet? Change quickly to avoid catching a cold. Is there any hot water? Have something hot."
A series of questions came like a machine gun, revealing the worry he was trying hard to suppress.
"It's a little wet, mostly on my sleeves and shoulders. I've already changed into dry clothes."
Tang Ximian answered honestly, even subconsciously lowering his head and tugging at the collar of his dry T-shirt, as if the other party could see, "Hot water... I'll go boil it right away."
As he spoke, he walked to the table, picked up the electric kettle and went to the bathroom to get water.
"Well, make some wine and warm yourself up."
Si Yankai's tone softened a bit. "Stay in your room, lock the door, and don't go anywhere. Since the teacher said she'll bring you food, just wait patiently. It's too dangerous to go out in this weather. Flash floods and landslides are possible."
He analyzed the risks calmly, and every word he said was filled with unquestionable seriousness.
"I know, I'm not stupid."
Tang Ximian plugged in the kettle and listened to the gurgling sound of it heating up. The uneasiness in her heart caused by the heavy rain and being trapped was miraculously soothed by the voice on the other end of the phone.
He took his phone and slowly walked back to the bed and sat down. His tone unconsciously took on a bit of soft coquettishness, "It's just... it's so noisy outside, the thunder is rumbling, and the wind is making the windows rattle. It makes me a little nervous."
Yu Shu was wiping his wet hair beside him as he listened to Tang Ximian's completely different tone. He couldn't help but make an exaggerated "unbearable" face and silently mouthed, "Ugh—so corny!"
Tang Ximian glared at him, gently kicked him with her foot to signal him to shut up, and then simply buried her face in the fluffy pillow. She continued to talk to the phone in a muffled voice: "...Besides, I'm trapped here and can't even draw. It's so boring."
He dragged out the words "I'm so bored" like a kitten that was locked up at home and couldn't go out to play and complain.
