Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Li Chi left.
Saturday was a drizzling rainy day.
The rain kept falling, the whole sky and earth were filled with mist, and the temperature was a little low.
The temperature in the bedroom was just right, the air purifier was working slowly, and the aromatherapy lamp on the cabinet was emitting fragrant mist.
Qin Moran leaned back and relaxed at the head of the bed, studying the new headphones Li Chi had bought for him.
Actually, there is nothing much to study. I just have nothing to do now, so I subconsciously took it out to take a look.
I had just been looking at it for a while when the phone next to me lit up and someone called me.
Qin Moran turned around and saw that it was Li Chi calling.
He couldn't help but smile, then picked up the phone: "Why are you calling so suddenly?"
Li Chi seemed to be outside. The sound of raindrops was particularly clear, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Would it be convenient for you to come out and meet me?"
"Now?" Qin Moran glanced at the incessant rain outside and asked tentatively, "It's raining outside now, are you sure you want to meet?"
Li Chi: "Well, I'll meet you outside your manor."
Qin Moran hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed: "Okay."
Although it is inconvenient to go out on rainy days, the desire to see the person I like overcomes my rationality.
Soon, Qin Moran hung up the phone and started to pack up.
He changed into a thicker sweatshirt, took an umbrella, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Chen Ruolan and Tang Yao were watching TV together.
Qin Moran walked over and greeted the two of them.
Chen Ruolan asked, "It's raining outside, why do you want to go out?"
Qin Moran: "Something happened."
Tang Yao immediately asked, "Where are you going? Do you need your sister-in-law to drive you?"
Qin Moran quickly refused: "No, it's nearby, I can just walk over."
Tang Yao: "Okay then, be careful on your way."
Qin Moran nodded, then turned around, changed his shoes, and left the villa with an umbrella.
The rain outside was indeed heavy and fast, and there was wind.
Qin Moran shivered from the cold as soon as he went out.
He tugged at his sweatshirt before stepping forward.
The raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound, indicating what bad weather it was.
The two agreed to meet in a pavilion in the park.
Qin Moran stepped on the puddles on the ground and walked towards the pavilion.
When he walked over, he saw Li Chi was already waiting in the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Li Chi sat quietly on a stone bench, one arm resting on the stone table, his eyelids slightly drooping, as if he was distracted.
Qin Moran smiled and stepped into the pavilion.
At this time, Li Chi heard the noise and looked up at him.
Qin Moran put away his umbrella and prepared to talk to Li Chi.
Before he could even finish his words, he realized that something was wrong with Li Chi.
Li Chi seemed to have not slept the entire night before. There was a hint of blue in the corners of his eyes, and he looked a little heavy.
The curve of Qin Moran's mouth disappeared. He walked up to Li Chi with an umbrella and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
After a few seconds, Li Chi finally spoke: "It's okay, just a slight cold."
The voice was frighteningly hoarse, and mixed with the sound of the dripping rain, it seemed even more ethereal.
Qin Moran was a little worried: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
At this time, Li Chi gestured for him to sit on the stool next to him.
Qin Moran did as he was told, first sitting next to Li Chi, then placing the umbrella on the stone table.
The two of them sat together at the stone table in the pavilion. It should have been a relaxing date, but for some reason, it seemed very heavy at the moment.
After sitting quietly for a while, Li Chi took a bag from the side and handed it to Qin Moran.
Qin Moran was curious: "What is this?"
Li Chi explained, "This contains the notes I recently compiled. It should be helpful for your studies after reading it."
His voice was still frighteningly hoarse, as if he had been greatly affected by emotions.
Qin Moran was surprised: "You came to see me today just to give me this notebook, right? There's no need to come in the rain."
Li Chi didn't answer, but asked him: "Are the headphones I gave you still working?"
Qin Moran nodded: "It's pretty good. I tried it a few times at home and there's no problem."
Li Chi nodded: "Okay, then there's no need to exchange."
Soon, Li Chi asked again, "You said on Friday that you had a chemistry problem you didn't solve. How about I explain it to you now?"
Qin Moran couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you rushing to deal with things one by one? We're only apart for one weekend. Besides, don't we have to go to evening self-study tomorrow, Sunday?"
Li Chi lowered his eyes: "That's right."
Outside the pavilion, there was an all-encompassing rain curtain and the sky was a little dark. Li Chi's skin was originally cold white, but now it looked even whiter, almost pale.
He sat in the dark with his head slightly lowered, and his profile was particularly colorful.
Qin Moran glanced at Li Chi and noticed some of his bad emotions, which made him feel a little depressed.
But he really didn't know what happened, so he could only ask: "Li Chi, nothing happened when you went home last night, right?"
He thought about it and realized that he and Li Chi had separated last night.
Li Chi was clearly fine when we parted at the school gate yesterday afternoon. How come he was in such a bad state after spending a night there?
"Nothing." Li Chi answered casually, then moved closer to Qin Moran and reached out to hug him.
Qin Moran was hugged unexpectedly and had no time to think about anything else.
Everyone was a little cold on rainy days, but now we hugged each other and our body temperatures could warm each other.
Qin Moran enjoyed Li Chi's broad embrace and also put his arms around his waist.
The two hugged each other quietly in the pavilion for a while.
Li Chi's eyes were as black as if stained with ink.
He held Qin Moran's body with one hand and placed the other on the back of his head, holding him tighter. Then he said to Qin Moran in a hoarse voice, "Mo Ran, you must do well in the college entrance examination."
Qin Moran rested his chin on his shoulder and smiled. "Of course you have to study hard. You're almost accepted into Tsinghua University. If I don't work hard to get into Peking University, how can I be with you?"
Li Chi didn't say anything, but hugged Qin Moran tighter and buried his head in his neck.
Qin Moran was well-raised since he was a child. His body is more flexible than that of ordinary boys. He has fair skin and a faint fragrance on his body.
Li Chi hugged him, smelling the faint fragrance, and felt as if his whole body was complete.
The two hugged each other for a long time before Li Chi let go of Qin Moran and said to him in a hoarse voice, "It's cold outside. Let me take you home."
Qin Moran thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, you already have a slight cold, you can't stay outside for long."
"Um."
Li Chi stood up and helped Qin Moran take the things.
On the way back to the manor, Li Chi sent Qin Moran, and they each held an umbrella.
Countless splashes of water fell, and this road seemed to have no end, yet it seemed to be completed in just a moment.
The entrance to the manor.
The boundless rain poured down, making people feel depressed and unhappy.
Before entering the manor, Qin Moran stopped and asked Li Chi, "Are you really okay?"
Li Chi also stopped and denied it: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well and have a cold."
Qin Moran nodded: "Is that so? Then you should go back quickly and remember to take some cold medicine."
Li Chi nodded silently.
Suddenly, the rain got heavier and even the umbrella could hardly block it.
Qin Moran was splashed by the slanting raindrops and subconsciously pulled his sweatshirt tighter: "Then I'll go in?"
Li Chi nodded: "Yeah."
But his eyes were always on Qin Moran, with such concentration that it seemed as if every glance he took was one less.
Qin Moran wanted to say something, but found that there was nothing to say, so he waved to Li Chi, then turned and walked into the manor.
After taking a few steps, Li Chi called him: "Mo Ran."
Qin Moran turned around while holding an umbrella: "Huh?"
The two of them were only four or five steps apart, but it felt like there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
Li Chi looked at him intently for a moment, then said, "It's okay, go in, and see you at school tomorrow."
"Okay." Qin Moran nodded, then turned and left again.
This time he really left, walking all the way into the manor until he disappeared in the rain.
Li Chi kept staring at Qin Moran's back until he could no longer see him.
He lowered his eyes, and his whole body looked lifeless.
…
The next day was Sunday, and I had to go to school for evening self-study.
Qin Moran thought about Li Chi's condition yesterday, so he packed up and went to school early, wanting to see how Li Chi was doing now.
Before leaving for school, he sent a message to Li Chi in advance.
Unfortunately, Li Chi did not reply.
He thought Li Chi might be busy, so he stopped sending messages.
Qin Moran put down his phone, put on his schoolbag and went out.
Seeing this, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Our young master is becoming more and more active in going to school."
Qin Moran also smiled and replied: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, so we can't let down at the last minute."
He waved his hand and said, "Uncle housekeeper, I'm leaving."
The butler smiled and said, "Okay, young master."
Qin Moran rarely asks his family driver to pick him up, but today, in order to get to school quickly, he asked the family driver to take him there.
It just so happened that the road was a bit congested today, and I encountered several red lights.
Qin Moran sat in his seat, changed his sitting position several times anxiously, and then forced himself to calm down.
The driver saw this scene in the rearview mirror and jokingly said, "Why are you so anxious, young master?"
Back then, he was only so anxious when he went to see his wife.
He wanted to ask Qin Moran if he was also in a relationship at school, but he felt it was presumptuous, so he didn't dare to ask.
Qin Moran forced a smile and gave his all-purpose answer: "I just want to study quickly."
The driver smiled and didn't ask any further questions.
Finally, the traffic jam ahead started to move.
Qin Moran breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out his phone and looked at it again, but Li Chi still hadn't replied to his message.
Haven’t looked at your phone in so long?
Qin Moran thought about it and made another call, but still no one answered.
Qin Moran didn't know why, but he felt uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness was getting bigger and bigger.
He couldn't help but said to the driver: "Uncle, can you drive faster?"
"no problem."
The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow.
The scenery outside the window kept receding, and Qin Moran became more and more anxious. He had no way to relieve this anxiety, so he could only hold on to his phone tightly, and then hold it tighter and tighter.
It seemed like a century had passed before the car finally stopped at the school gate.
Qin Moran breathed a sigh of relief and said to the driver as quickly as possible, "Uncle, I'm leaving."
Without waiting for the driver to answer, he quickly opened the car door and ran out in one step.
The driver was stunned.
What is their young master doing?
Just when the driver was stunned, Qin Moran had already run into the school.
Qin Moran rushed into the school in one breath, and then quickly ran towards their own teaching building.
He knew that Li Chi usually didn't like to stay at home, so he came earlier than him, so he might be able to see him in the classroom.
Unfortunately, Qin Moran ran all the way to the classroom and looked around, but did not see Li Chi.
He kept gasping for breath and was confused for a moment.
Qin Moran slowed down and planned to go to Li Chi's dormitory again, but as soon as he arrived in the corridor, he heard some people talking.
"Breaking news, Li Chi, the top student in our grade, has dropped out."
"Are you kidding me? Is today April Fools' Day?"
"That's right, have you ever seen someone drop out of Tsinghua University after being recommended?"
"Why would I lie to you? It's absolutely true! I just went to the teacher's office and overheard it. The whole school will probably know about it tonight."
"But I still don't believe it. He was recommended to Tsinghua University. How could he give up such a great opportunity?"
“…”
The moment Qin Moran heard these conversations, his mind was completely confused, as if the whole world had been silenced, and only the conversations between those few people were heard.
No matter what those people were saying, he was in no mood to listen, so he turned around and ran to the teacher's office.
In the office.
Several teachers from Class 1, Grade 2 were present, all with sad faces, as if they were discussing something.
Qin Moran didn't care about anything else and rushed to the office door and knocked on it: "Report!"
The head teacher looked up, saw it was him, and sighed, "Come in."
Qin Moran walked into the office, his breathing uneven, and said anxiously: "Teacher, I heard them say..."
The head teacher interrupted him: "You want to ask about Li Chi, right?"
Qin Moran nodded quickly: "Yes."
The head teacher sighed again, looking regretful: "Li Chi has already dropped out of school. I tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."
Qin Moran was already confused when he heard his classmates talking about it, and now that he heard the head teacher confirm it, his mind went blank.
He looked at the head teacher, almost unable to find his voice. It took him a long time to utter a syllable: "Why, why?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
The head teacher's voice was also not calm: "He didn't tell me the specific reason, but he insisted on asking me to go through the withdrawal procedures."
Qin Moran opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't make any sound.
The head teacher sighed and said to himself, "I've taught Li Chi for two years. I know this kid is very talented in studying, but he's also worked very hard. Now he has one foot in Tsinghua University, and he actually dropped out..."
He paused and didn't say the next words.
Qin Moran couldn't even utter a word.
He had known Li Chi longer and witnessed the hardships Li Chi had endured as a child. Now that he was finally going to Tsinghua University, he had the opportunity to change his fate, but he gave it up...
Why?
Aren't they two in love?
Li Chi just left like that.
What about him?
Who is he?
Qin Moran felt that his emotions were a little out of control. He didn't want to lose his composure in front of the teacher, so he said something and left.
Qin Moran walked out of the office and came to the corridor outside, with tears in his eyes.
He restrained himself, then took out his cell phone again and called Li Chi, but this time the call was not answered.
Qin Moran lowered his hands and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He didn't know how long he stood there when a student who came to hand in homework passed by him and asked with concern: "Classmate, are you okay?"
She felt that Qin Moran seemed to need help.
Qin Moran suddenly recovered from his confused state, and felt a little dizzy for a moment.
He forced a smile at the student: "I'm fine."
Then Qin Moran walked away and went to the classroom.
At this moment, the news that Li Chi was going to drop out of school had spread throughout the class.
After all, the fact that someone who was ranked first in the grade and had been admitted to Tsinghua University was dropping out was a major news no matter where you looked, like a bomb dropped into calm waters.
Some people saw Qin Moran coming in and stopped talking unconsciously and looked at him.
However, Qin Moran no longer noticed anyone's gaze. He walked back to his seat and sat quietly, motionless.
Huang Yu, his deskmate, wanted to say something to him, but found that it would be inappropriate for him to say anything at this time, so he kept silent.
Qin Moran sat quietly like this throughout the evening study session. Even though there was a book in front of him, he didn't read a single word.
He is popular in the class, and seeing his condition, everyone carefully avoids mentioning the name Li Chi in front of him.
Finally, the bell for the evening study session rang.
Qin Moran picked up his schoolbag as quickly as possible and ran out of the classroom.
He ran all the way to the school gate and hailed a taxi.
The car stopped.
Qin Moran stepped inside and said to the driver, "Uncle, I want to go somewhere. Please go as fast as possible."
The driver said cheerfully, "No problem, fasten your seat belt first."
Qin Moran grabbed the seat belt and fastened it.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Li Chi's home was very far away, and even if the car was driving fast enough, it would not arrive until late at night.
Qin Moran paid the money, got out of the car quickly, and then ran towards Li Chi's residential area.
He was stopped at the community gate.
Qin Moran quickly explained: "I'm here to look for someone. I came here with my friend last time."
The security guard stared at him for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, you are the boy Li Chi brought last time."
After all, Qin Moran's face is so good-looking that it is unforgettable.
But soon the security guard told Qin Moran some bad news: "Are you here to look for Li Chi? Then you don't have to come, his family has moved away."
Qin Moran asked back: "Move away?"
He had been exposed to too much news tonight, so his voice was calm now. However, a calm voice did not mean that his heart was calm.
The guard nodded and said, "They have indeed moved out. I have no reason to lie to you. They moved out this afternoon."
Qin Moran didn't know what he was feeling at the moment. He only heard himself asking in a calm voice: "Do you know where they moved to?"
The guard shook his head: "I don't know about that."
Qin Moran nodded: "Thank you."
Then turn and leave.
The last possible place where he could find Li Chi was also out of reach, and he didn't know where else he could find Li Chi.
Qin Moran walked forward step by step in a daze.
The night was exceptionally dark, even the light from the street lamps seemed to be absorbed, it was deserted and silent.
Qin Moran walked alone, aimlessly.
He didn't know how long he walked, but he finally stopped and accepted the fact.
Li Chi really left.
Leave without saying goodbye.
