happy event in pairs

Chapter 39 Tempest

Dong Xishuangku sat at the desk in the library, and a book on the desk was spread out, without turning the pages from beginning to end.

The sky was as cloudy as the doomsday in a disaster movie. The red rainstorm warning notifications popped up on the students' mobile phones. A small whirlwind had already begun to blow on the ground, which was a typical restlessness before the rainstorm.

Everyone packed up their things and got up at the same time, and ran back to the dormitory before the rain came.

Dong Xishuang was staring at the words on the book in a daze, not noticing that the surrounding area was getting quieter and quieter.

After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on his desktop.Dong Xi looked up stupidly.

"Student, the library is closed." The administrator, who was wearing glasses and a fur vest, reminded him softly.This teacher is thin and strict, usually with a dark face and a serious look, and mercilessly turns off the lights when the hour arrives to drive people away, but today he is rare and gentle.

"It's raining heavily outside, have you brought an umbrella?"

Dong Xishuang turned his stiff neck and looked out, only to realize that it was raining heavily outside the closed window, and he was the only one left in the huge reading room.

He silently packed up his things and went downstairs, walked to the steps at the entrance of the library and looked out. At 10:30, it was already dark, and the street lamps illuminated the dense rain. Under the forgotten self.

There was a ding from the text message, he took out his phone and saw a text message from an unknown number, inside was a photo, Xiao Jun was buying coffee at the front desk of Starbucks, the background was the bright lobby of the airport and the crowd with suitcases.

"I got him," reads the photo below.

Dong Xishuang squeezed the phone tightly, his fingertips turned white, he greedily looked at Xiao Jun's face, the pain that had been suffocated for several days came like a dam suddenly opened, overwhelming the mountains and seas.

For some reason, in this pain and trance, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he helped the family harvest wheat one summer, fell asleep in the shade of a tree by the field in the afternoon, and had a very gentle and beautiful dream, the content of which has long been forgotten. , but that kind of happy and warm emotion is still in my heart.

The dream was awakened by a blast of Jiao Lei, and the ensuing heavy rain washed away the pile of wheat he had bundled up before, and rushed into the rain to grab some back, but the grains on the ears of wheat had been washed away. Let's go, there is only an empty shell left, and he also caught a cold, and he had a fever for several days before healed up.

It's a good dream, but it's too short.

It's good to wake up, or I will always worry about waking up.

Dong Xishuang dragged his feet, step by step into the pouring rain.

The rain was too heavy, Liu Zhiheng turned on the high beams, and the wipers were turned to the highest gear, dancing back and forth on the windshield, but he still couldn't see clearly.Although there was no one on the road, but the water was deep, he drove slowly, raising his eyebrows in surprise when the headlights illuminated the figure ahead.

It was so late, and in such heavy rain, a person who neither held an umbrella nor ran suddenly appeared on the side of the road. The scene was so shocking that it felt weird.

He stepped on the accelerator to follow, and the moment he lowered the window, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"Dong Xishuang? What are you doing!"

It might be that the sound of the rainstorm was too loud, or he was already dazzled by the rain. Dong Xishuang didn't seem to notice that someone was calling him, and he waded heavily in the water with his head down, walking hard with deep feet and shallow feet.

Liu Zhiheng stopped the car, rushed out, hugged him as fast as he could and dragged him into the passenger seat, then returned to the driver's seat and slammed the car door.

The rain was too heavy, but the clothes on his body were already soaked in a dozen seconds.Without further ado, Liu Zhiheng turned on the hot air and turned it to the maximum.Dong Xishuang seemed to have just been salvaged from the icy sea water, dripping water all over his body, his face was as white as paper, his lips were black and blue, his eyes stared blankly at Liu Zhiheng, his expression seemed like someone who was dreaming suddenly was woken up.

Liu Zhiheng frowned, turned around, took Xiaoshuang's drenched backpack and threw it on the back seat, and then took off his heavy clothes. Dong Xishuang obediently raised his hands to let him move. The body under the clothes was cold and white, like a cast picture.

Liu Zhiheng was thankful that he brought a thin coat when he went out in the morning, and he quickly fished it from the back seat to wrap it up, and said while shifting gears and stepping on the gas pedal, "Be patient, we'll be there soon."

The car parked crookedly downstairs, Liu Zhiheng didn't even have time to straighten the wheels, and immediately ran into the apartment building with Xiao Shuang, pushing him into the shower room to turn on the hot water without wasting any time.

"You warm up first, and then we can talk when you come out." Liu Zhiheng withdrew, and opened the cabinet to find clothes while wiping the water from his hair with a towel.

Dong Xishuang sat on the bed in oversized pajamas, and Liu Zhiheng touched his hand, which was warm.He folded his sleeves, covered Xiaoshuang's legs with a quilt, and brought a double-eared instant noodle bowl from the table next to him and put it in his hand: "I just made Ginger Coke, and I drank it to dispel the cold. "

Dong Xi lowered his slender and moist eyelashes, staring at the tiny ripples of the brown liquid in the bowl, only to realize that he was trembling.

The rain didn't stop until midnight, as if the summer would use such a heavy rain to say a grand farewell.

Xiao Jun got off the plane and drove to school non-stop. The rain was too heavy and the car was difficult to drive. He relied on the cup of coffee he drank at the airport to support his exhausted spirit.

The car was parked downstairs in the dormitory. He leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his browbones with his hands. He took a short breath. The past ten days seemed like a battle with huge losses.

The time displayed on the dashboard was almost midnight.When Xiao Jun thought of his beloved child sleeping peacefully upstairs, his heart felt warm, and a little strength rose from the boundless exhaustion.

He ran up to the fifth floor, unlocked the door with a key, walked in lightly, put his wet suit jacket on the back of the chair, and touched the side of the small twin bed.

The bed was empty.Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked back at his bed, it was also empty.

He frowned and thought for a while, then shook Lu Pengtao who was on the lower bunk and asked, "Pengtao, wake up, where did Xiao Shuang go?"

Lu Pengtao rubbed his eyes and sat up in surprise: "Fuck, Xiao, you're back, where did you go, and there's no news, Nai Shuang is going crazy, and she hasn't had food these days." Eating and not sleeping, it's like losing your soul."

Xiao Jun wiped the rainwater from his neck, and said softly: "Something has happened, it's more troublesome - let's talk about it later, what about the young couple?"

Lu Pengtao said: "I'm here every day, but I didn't come back tonight. Did I go to your house?"

Xiao Jun was puzzled, everything was in a hurry, and the phone was not working, no one knew he was coming back tonight...

"Go to sleep," Xiao Jun patted Lu Pengtao's shoulder, "I'll go back and have a look, sorry for waking you up."

Xiao Jun said goodbye, took his coat and hurried back to the apartment.

The apartment was still the same as it was before. It didn't look like someone had come back. Xiao Jun ran upstairs, and the bedroom was indeed empty.

He stood in front of the window with his waist tucked in, watching the heavy rain outside, holding his forehead and sighing, half worried and half angry, the weather is so bad, why didn't he stay in the dormitory well, where did he go?

Xiao Jun raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the middle of the night, he hesitated for a moment, and finally went downstairs to use the landline in the study to make a call.

Dong Xishuang's phone was turned off.Xiao Jun called Luyu instead.

The phone rang for a while before being picked up.

"Hello?" Lu Yu's voice was low and hoarse, obviously awakened from a deep sleep.

"Luyu, it's me."

"Brother Xiao? Are you back?" Lu Yu coughed, and his voice gradually became clearer.

"Well. Is Xiao Shuang with you?"

"Xiao Shuang? I followed the research team to do field surveys in the suburbs of Beijing. I haven't returned to school for a week. Why, isn't Xiao Shuang in the dormitory?"

Xiao Jun closed his eyes and inhaled, suppressing the anxiety in his heart: "Not here. Not in the apartment either. I thought he went back to Xiangtang with you."

"No, did you call him?"

"It's on, turn off the phone."

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, and comforted: "Don't worry, it may be because you went to another school to play with classmates and were blocked by the rain."

Xiao Jun hummed, "Go to sleep, we will talk about the rest tomorrow."

After he hung up the phone, he put his hands on the table and stood with his head bowed for a while before making another call.

Liu Zhiheng checked a set of simulation data submitted by a doctoral student on the workstation next to the bed with the desk lamp on, and the silence behind him was so quiet that he could not even hear the sound of breathing.He couldn't help but look back at the figure wrapped in the quilt on the bed.He didn't move, and looked like he was really asleep.

He knew that Dong Xishuang must have encountered something that made him very confused or painful, but he thoughtfully didn't ask any questions, and just asked him to drink ginger coca-cola and stuff him under the quilt to let him sleep.

Dong Xi stared at the ceiling expressionlessly for a long time, and asked softly: "Senior brother...that thing you said last time...is there still time for me to prepare?"

Liu Zhiheng sat by the bed, tucked the quilt up for him, and said, "There's still time, have you thought it through? If you think it through, I'll send you the list of materials to be prepared tomorrow."

Dong Xishuang didn't answer, his eyes slowly drifted away, his thin eyelids drooped little by little, and finally he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The mobile phone in his hand buzzed and vibrated. Liu Zhiheng picked it up and took a look. It was an unfamiliar fixed line. He got up gently and went to the bar to pick it up.

"Hello."

Xiao Jun's voice was cold and hard: "Hi, I'm Xiao Jun."

Liu Zhiheng turned around and glanced at Xiao Shuang who was sleeping soundly on the bed. It seemed that this was the reason why Dong Xishuang was so distraught tonight.

Oh, frizzy young man.

"Hmm. Is there anything you can do for me?" Liu Zhiheng's tone was calm and gentle.

"Is Dong Xishuang with you?"

……

Liu Zhiheng was silent for a few seconds meaningfully: "Well, he's a little tired and fell asleep just now, let's talk about something tomorrow."

Xiao Jun was silent for a while, his tone remained unchanged: "Yes, I just want to confirm whether he is safe."

Liu Zhiheng smiled lightly: "How could it be unsafe for him to be with me?"

There was no answer, and the phone was hung up with a click.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Liu Zhiheng: Classmate Xiao, is the crematorium having a good second round?

Xiao Jun: Brother, don't gloat, you are going offline soon.
