Chapter 43 Pick Her Up
Yu Zhi and Xie Wenyu just came out of the library.
The rain was getting heavier, but the umbrella was only for one person, and it was extremely cramped for two people to squeeze under it.
Yu Zhi took a small step to the outside, leaving a distance of two fists in the middle.
But in this case, my right shoulder will inevitably get a lot of rain.
Seeing that she was intentionally keeping a distance from him, Xie Wenyu didn't say anything, but just moved the umbrella a little closer to her.
——This way he will get caught in the rain.
Yu Zhi pursed her lips, and seeing this, she stood back silently. Her left arm would inevitably rub against the other person from time to time.
Xie Wenyu still looked gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"If you are interested in ancient books, I have a few rubbings--" Before he finished speaking, he saw Yu Zhi suddenly stop.
"What's wrong?" Xie Wenyu looked at her with a little confusion, but found that the girl's attention was all focused on the front.
He turned around and looked over there - there was a handsome and elegant boy who was holding an umbrella and looking at the girl beside him with forbearance. His silver-white hair was particularly conspicuous in the night.
Yu Zhi's expression changed from surprise to joy. She didn't even bother to explain to Xie Wenyu, and ran to Chen Wang's umbrella in the rain without hesitation, looking at him with sparkling eyes and a smile.
"Chen Wang, are you here to pick me up?"

Chen Wang hurried towards the library, which was not very close from the dormitory building.
He began to regret not paying attention to the weather outside because he was taking a shower. Yu Zhi's health wasn't very good to begin with. If he came back in the rain like this...
Chen Wang didn't know that the Central Military Academy's library always had umbrellas available for students' emergency use.
Fortunately, I didn’t see Yu Zhi along the way. I guess she is still in the library.
Chen Wang felt a little relieved and turned the last intersection.
The anxiety and worry in his heart were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. He went out in a hurry and only wore a thin coat. Now he was cold all over.
Yu Zhi probably doesn't need him to worry...
She and the man were standing closely under the same umbrella. Even though she couldn't see the face of the person next to her, she could feel that the two of them looked very well matched standing together.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but the coldness that penetrated his body made his feet seem to be frozen, and Yu Zhi opposite him had already seen him.
How should he explain why he was here? Would Yu Zhi think he was too nosy?
He even began to wonder if Yu Zhi would prefer him to pretend not to know her?
But the girl smiled at him, warming up his cold and numb heart.
She ran towards him in the pouring rain, with a determination and resoluteness that was selfless and without hesitation.
Time seemed to have stopped, and only one person was left in front of him. The sound of fireworks exploding in his ears was even more beautiful than the fireworks he had seen when he was a child.
The girl stood beside him without any hesitation, her eyes filled with happiness and joy as usual.
"Chen Wang, are you here to pick me up?" she said.
A warm current suddenly flowed from his chest to his limbs, his stiff body regained consciousness, and he regained the ability to move.
"Yeah." For the first time, Chen Wang stopped trying to hide his concern, "I was worried you didn't have an umbrella."
Yu Zhi smiled, her voice as sweet as honey: "Thank you, Chen Wang."
She turned around perfunctorily and waved goodbye to Xie Wenyu, then turned around and squeezed intimately under Shen Wang's umbrella, and walked towards the dormitory building together.
Xie Wenyu's eyes were filled with deep meaning. He waved goodbye to Yu Zhi and stood there watching the two of them walk away.
Anyone could see the closeness between Yu Zhi and the other person, which was completely different from the restraint she felt when she shared an umbrella with him.
He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and continued walking back.

"That was Xie Wenyu just now. I met him while reading this afternoon." Yu Zhi took the initiative to explain, "There was only one umbrella left in the library, so we shared it."
Chen Wang listened quietly, and it seemed as if something had blossomed in his heart - she was explaining something to him specifically.
"But I didn't expect you to come pick me up," Yu Zhi said coquettishly, clinging to his arm, "otherwise I would have waited for you in the library."
"Then I... will tell you in advance next time." Chen Wang paused and said.
"Okay." Yu Zhi did not reject his feelings.
When they reached the bottom of the girls' dormitory, Chen Wang put away his umbrella. Yu Zhi then discovered that his hands were unusually white, without even a trace of blood.
She reached out and touched it tentatively, and it felt like she was touching a piece of ice.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Yu Zhi asked with concern, "Why didn't you wear more clothes before going out?"
Chen Wang shrank back the moment she touched him: "It's the coldness caused by the characteristics of the spiritual body."
"But you weren't this cold before." Yu Zhi frowned and questioned. It was not like she had never encountered this before. It was obviously only slightly cooler than normal body temperature.
Chen Wang didn't know how to explain it to her.
Could it be that it’s because he was wearing too little and suddenly thought that he was... stimulated and thus became hypothermic?
"It's okay, just go up quickly." Chen Wang had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Yu Zhi seemed to suddenly think of something: "Wait for me here!"
After saying that, he hurried upstairs, leaving Chen Wang standing there in a daze.
When Yu Zhi came down again, his posture hadn't changed, it was exactly the same as when she went upstairs.
"This is a constant temperature pillow. Hold it." Yu Zhi stuffed the pillow in her hand into his hand without saying anything. "Will it be much warmer?"
This was bought specially for her by Yu Yao. There were two of them, just to make her feel better when her hands and feet were cold during menstruation. It was just right to give one to Chen Wang now.
"Yeah, it's very warm." Chen Wang looked at her and said.
Very warm...a warmth that radiates from the inside out.
The pillow seemed to still retain her body temperature and scent. Chen Wang only lifted it with one hand, not wanting it to get wet by the rain on his clothes.
"Okay, I'll go back then." Yu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, "You should go back and rest too."
*
Chen Wang walked back to the dormitory almost at the same time.
Raindrops kept dripping from the tip of the umbrella, and his clothes were half wet, but the constant temperature pillow held firmly in his palm was as dry and warm as if he had been indoors.
"Hey, look who's back?" came the roommate's sarcastic voice from the side.
"You're going out in the rain to meet that 'girlfriend' of yours, aren't you? Don't you even consider whether you're worthy of her?"
"You're holding a treasure? A constant temperature pillow? I thought it was something else. Is that enough for you to be so cautious? You're truly a lowly person."
Chen Wang turned a deaf ear to it. He was in a very good mood and didn't want to devote his energy to others.
He put the thermostatic pillow on the bed and took a shower before lying down on the bed. At first, he reached out his hand timidly to touch it, then buried his head in it and laughed quietly for a while.
He smelled her sweet scent on the pillow. Perhaps she had embraced him like this before. His mind was filled with offensive thoughts, but he fell into a deep sleep in comfort and indulgence.
