Ant Paradise

Jia Le was halfway home, and it was raining heavily, and it fell as soon as he said it. The rain didn't stop, and it was still pattering at night.He was lying on the bed, looking out of the window. He seemed to be unable to see the thousands of raindrops through the screen window and the night. He had to sit up and look at the raindrops in the muddy pond outside the room.He sighed and fell back on the bed, listening to the rain hitting the window sill, looking forward to the sunny day tomorrow.

Although we didn't wait for the cloudless weather, the rain stopped and the sky was still overcast.Jia Le didn't care about this, and went out holding the umbrella he borrowed from Shile yesterday.Before entering the gate of their community, Jiale saw a group of ants crawling from one side of the gate to the other.He remembered Shile's expression when he mentioned ants, and suddenly had a whim, and wanted to catch some for him to take with him, since there was no container for ants by his side.He went back again, bought a box of mints from a convenience store, poured the candy into a paper towel, wrapped it up, and picked up a random weed on the side of the road to drive ants away.He came and went again and again, delaying a lot of time, which was earlier than the usual time for him to arrive.

Shi Le sat at the window and waited for him. The weather was not good, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. Maybe Jia Le would not come. It was he himself who told Jia Le yesterday that if the weather was bad, he would stay at home. He was dumbfounded. Watching, still looking forward to, looking forward to a TV episode, looking forward to the answer to a question, looking forward to saying "Hello, Shile.".

The wind blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, thunder struck and fell, and it rained heavily.Big raindrops hit his window sill, and a few drops fell on his arms. It was cool, Shi Le closed the window, and watched the rain on the frosted window become wisps like small rivers meandering down.Lost something, he didn't take anything into his hand, he turned his head away, no longer looking at the small window.

"Open the door." The window was knocked, and the visitor paused and shouted again, "Open the window!" As soon as Shile opened the window, Jiale stood outside, still smiling like the sun, but drenched, the navy The blue short sleeves turned navy blue and stuck to his chest.He handed over the umbrella to Shile first, and then climbed in with great effort, one hand clenched into a fist, and he opened it only when he stood firmly in front of Shile.

It was a small transparent mint box containing five or six little black ants.When Shile received it, it was still warm. It was the temperature of Jiale's palm. He looked at the ant in a daze, and then looked up at Jiale. Yes, I thought you like ants, so I caught a few more. I could have caught a few more, but unfortunately they never go into my box." "I, I thought you wouldn't come today." Shi Le Not daring to look up, just staring at the group of ants, watching them climb from the bottom of the box to the lid of the box, and then fall back to the original point. "It wasn't raining when I came here, but it suddenly started to rain when I was catching them." He took the ant box from Shile, "You're all dumbstruck, so take a look at me anyway, where is the toilet? ?”

It was only then that Shi Le panicked and thought of looking for towels for him. Fortunately, Grandma didn't go out to buy groceries today. She helped Jia Le find a set of Shi Li's clothes, and then took him to the laundry.Before taking a bath, Jiale took out a wet ball of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiale's hand. He didn't say what it was, but said through the door, "Check if it's wet inside!"

Shile opened layers of semi-wet napkins, and inside were a handful of mints, some stuck together due to dampness, while others were fine.
