Wait till the sun rises

"A good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten everything silently." Mr. Li was wrapped in a raincoat, and under the raincoat, his pouches were bulging. If it weren't for his thin and tough face, someone might really take him for a Huge fat man.

Mr. Li took a few steps, his arm under the raincoat shook, and then something fell, bounced a few times, and rolled into the mud behind him.

"Damn, fuck you, the silent spring rain that moisturizes things, I'm drenched to death."

Mr. Li's originally rented house expired, so he changed to a community closer to the unit. It happened that the company had a lot of things these days, so he could only choose to pack up his things and move them here at night.

At first, Mr. Li was in a good mood when it rained lightly, and he was even in the mood to recite a few lines of arty poetry, but when the cold spring rain slapped his face indiscriminately, and even wet his trousers, all poetic and picturesque things, go away.

The thing rolled to the ground, bounced and slid far away, and finally stopped at a person's feet.

It was a handsome young man, very tall, holding a blue checked umbrella.A suit of casual clothes further accentuated his height and long legs.

The young man bent down and picked up the thing that had rolled to his feet.Mr. Li expressed his thanks.

The young man handed the thing over, and Mr. Li looked at it, and it turned out to be a hand-sized puppet, covered with plaster and dirty.He was silent for a moment, and said with some disappointment: "This is already dirty, you can throw it away. But thank you very much."

The young man slowly withdrew his hand and rubbed the dirt with his fingers, but the more he rubbed it, the dirtier it became.He said, "Then, can this be given to me?"

Mr. Li felt happy, this young man was about the same age as his younger brother, so he answered naturally: "Do you like this?"

The young man smiled and asked back, "You don't like it?"

Mr. Li shook the box in his hand again, and said as he walked, "I don't like it very much. I bought this thing on a whim, and somehow packed it into the box and brought it here. It looks cute."

The young man was holding an umbrella and walking beside Mr. Li. Seeing that he was struggling, he said, "Let me help you. Which building do you live in?"

The young man took the top box, Mr. Li exhaled a big breath, he said with a smile: "Thank you so much, I live in front, No. 4."

The young man smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I'm right next door to you, and I live in No. 5."

After entering the room, Mr. Li forced the young man to stay for dinner, saying that he was thankful.

There are some vegetables bought earlier in the refrigerator. Mr. Li made a few side dishes briefly. When he served them on the table, he saw the young man putting the cleaned puppet aside, so he said with a smile:

"If you like this, hurry up and buy another one tomorrow."

The young man shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice, "No need, I just think it's a pity to lose it like this."

Mr. Li laughed loudly, handed over a can of beer, and said, "You are so kind." The young man also laughed.

There is wine and food, the two are about the same age, and the atmosphere is not bad.

The two were talking when the mobile phone rang. Mr. Li touched his pocket and realized that it was the young man's mobile phone when he looked at the pitch-black screen.

Mr. Li drank a can of wine, and saw the young man leaning slightly sideways, staring out the window, and said something to the other side, the young man laughed softly, even Mr. Li could feel his pleasure.

Is it a girlfriend?Mr. Li took another sip of beer, then lit another cigarette.

When the young man came back, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were extremely bright.

Mr. Li smiled and asked: "Girlfriend, are you smiling so happily?"

"Not yet." The young man reopened a can of beer, with dimples looming on one cheek.He seemed to be extremely happy, and he wanted to have a child with his favorite toy, and hoped that the whole world would know his joy.

"But I know he likes me," said the young man.

Mr. Li snorted and asked, do you like her?As soon as the words came out, I felt that this question was stupid.

The young man nodded honestly and said, "Well, I like it very much. I'm going to confess my love to him tomorrow." After speaking, he gave Mr. Li an embarrassed look, and quickly looked away.

Mr. Li patted the young man on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "That buddy, I wish you a successful start and a beautiful home."

The young man smiled shyly. He raised the wine jar in his hand and touched Mr. Li lightly, "Thank you."

Mr. Li leaned halfway on the sofa, and his eyes fell on the Doraemon doll beside him. He said, "Actually, I bought this thing because the girl I love likes it."

Xia Yang turned his head when he heard the words, Mr. Li wiped his face and took another sip of beer.

"We have known each other for several years, but she is so good, there are many boys chasing her around, all of whom are better than me."

"I know she likes this little thing. I bought it for no reason when I was walking on the street that day. Isn't it funny?"

The young man said, "Why? I think you are a nice person."

Mr. Li shook his head and said with a smile, "I also think I'm pretty good, but what's the use of that?"

"You, have you told her?"

Mr. Li said: "What?" "It's because you like her? Did you tell me?"

Mr. Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at himself, "What's the use of talking?"

The young man said softly: "But how would you know that she doesn't like you if you don't tell me?"

Mr. Li was stunned and touched his forehead after a while.The young man threw the empty wine can into the trash can, picked up the clothes beside him and said, "It's getting late, then I'll go back first."

"Oh, oh." Mr. Li quickly got up to see him off, "That doll..."

"You can keep it." The young man stood by the door and smiled slightly, "Give it to the girl you like."

The door was closed, and Mr. Li returned to the sofa as if wandering, and opened his eyes until dawn.
