"Is it in a hurry? Can I go later?" Chen Lu asked, somewhat speechless.
"It's urgent. If it's any later, your leave will be approved by someone else, and you can prepare to welcome your new counselor."
"I'll help him!" Jiang Chao quickly came to his good friend's rescue.
"You're no good. Don't you have any idea how unreliable you are?"
Jiang Chao could only watch helplessly as his two other roommates had their own things to do.
At first, Chen Lu felt quite relaxed when he saw the thin stack of documents.
I thought that if I was quick, I might still make it in time.
After finishing that stack, they were told that the tall stack next to it was also there.
I felt like dying.
Half an hour later, it suddenly started raining heavily outside. Chen Lu closed the window before the cold wind blew in.
The weather in April is more fickle than a girl's mood; today it can be a bright and sunny 28 degrees Celsius, but tomorrow it might be a single-digit temperature.
However, this made Chen Lu's tense heart relax for some reason. It's been so long, and it's raining. Liang Zhirou probably won't wait for me anymore, right?
He'd rather have someone else waiting for him than be stood up himself.
Another half hour passed before Chen Lu finally finished dealing with the huge stack in front of him.
The rain outside has lessened considerably since some time ago.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolu. I'll take care of the rest myself. Here's an umbrella, take it..."
Halfway through the conversation, Chen Lu dashed out and ran wildly towards the cafeteria.
Although he felt that a normal person wouldn't wait there indefinitely, since he was already more than an hour late.
But Chen Lu felt he had to go and take a look.
Along the way, many couples were walking slowly with shared umbrellas, as if this level of rain only brought them a perfect atmosphere.
Only one boy was running wildly through the crowd, splashing water everywhere he went.
This is completely out of place with the scene.
Because Chen Lu has been exercising for the past few years, and he used to have to run around to bring food to Mo Yuqing, his physical fitness is pretty good.
Unfortunately, only his roommate has ever seen his perfectly sculpted abs.
...
When I arrived at the nearest cafeteria, I saw a girl holding a plastic bag tightly in her arms, as if afraid it would get wet in the rain.
But she herself was standing in a very front position, and every now and then a gust of wind would blow rain onto her. Whenever someone walked past her, she would lower her head and make way for them with embarrassment.
Then return to that relatively conspicuous location.
Although she kept her head down, Chen Lu still managed to recognize her.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lu quickly walked up to Liang Zhirou.
She was still wearing the same jeans as last night, but today she dutifully wore a light green jacket. It seems that when she's not working part-time, she doesn't wear her hair in a long, low ponytail, but rather lets it down.
However, this also made the girl, who had been keeping her head down, even more inconspicuous. Last night, she could at least be judged by her figure, but today, no one could tell what kind of stunning beauty she possessed.
The occasional gusts of rain had already soaked part of her clothes, and the girl's ears were red from the cold. Combined with her delicate face, she was both adorable and pitiful.
"Why didn't you leave..." Chen Lu asked blankly, his feelings very complicated.
"I was called away by my counselor to help out, sorry."
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Liang Zhirou raised her head. After recognizing Chen Lu, the corners of her mouth seemed to lift slightly. "I'll be waiting for you."
The girl spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, while handing the coat she was holding to Chen Lu.
The clothes were washed very clean, without even a single wrinkle. Even though the girl's clothes were partially soaked by the rain, the coat in her arms remained completely dry.
"It's raining so hard all of a sudden, and it's really cold. I'm already more than an hour late. Any normal person would think I stood them up, right? Besides, what I did was very impolite. You should have just left."
Liang Zhirou looked at him intently, and in her clear eyes, Chen Lu could only see himself.
"I promised you."
The eye contact she had just made seemed to have exhausted all her strength and courage, and she quickly lowered her head again.
"And I think you'll definitely come."
Chen Lu's feelings were even more complicated. He didn't know if he was more happy or more guilty, but probably more heartbroken.
How can you be so silly?
"Then why don't you go inside? If the wind and rain blow, you'll get caught in it."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find me."
......
Chen Lu was speechless for a moment, and stood there stunned.
So, there really is someone waiting for me?
It turns out that not everyone is like Mo Yuqing, leaving as soon as I arrive a little late.
In that very instant, truly in that very instant.
Chen Lu felt something inside him suddenly melt away.
"After all, you're the kind of fool who'd wait for someone in the rain for almost two hours just because of a single sentence."
"I...I'm not stupid."
Because you braved the rain to come, I didn't wait for the wrong person...
However, the tongue-tied, simple-minded girl didn't say those words aloud.
