Qi Yu couldn't laugh.

That serious tone made him unable to laugh at all.

"You... Seriously?" He knew the answer was yes, but he hesitated to ask again.

"I'm serious." The other party also repeated the answer meticulously.

The voice of the person in the earphone seemed to suddenly draw closer, and the sense of distance disappeared suddenly, as if it was really whispering in his ear.

Qi Jin instinctively moved her body back, forgetting how to blink her eyes.

An unprecedentedly long silence.

Although Yan Beixiang didn't speak, there were occasional small noises from his side, as if he was moving something on the table.Qi Wei was still in a daze, but he spoke softly again: "I just changed the location option to visible, you can take a look."

Qi Zhen held her breath, and moved the mouse in a trance, and moved it to that person's head portrait.

The geographic location displayed by the QQ system according to the IP did appear—the same province, the same city.

A small rainy icon next to the city name is also in line with the weather outside the window, as if there are really raindrops falling, one by one hitting the heart, making a shaking sound.He felt that it was not only his heart that was shaken, but even his fingers were trembling.

"You, you said that suddenly... I really wasn't prepared for it at all." Qi Jin muttered to herself, and laughed for a while, trying not to sound too embarrassed.

"Will you hate it?" The man's voice was low and deep, forbearing and restrained.Has an irresistible tenderness.

"No." Qi Jin replied as calmly as possible.

He also met and had dinner with friends in the circle before.

But this time it was really sudden.Moreover, this person...is Yan Beixiang——

"I really, really want to see you." Yan Beixiang said.Every word is spoken softly, yet full of emotion.

All the unnecessary struggles became pale and powerless at this moment, and the last wall in my heart was slowly collapsing.

"Okay." Qi Jin heard herself respond in confusion.

Very slowly, he typed the address of his community on the keyboard.

It's not because it's difficult to type with one hand, it's just that it feels unreal. The strength of the fingers seems to fall on a ball of cotton, and you can't hold it lightly.

Done, send.

After the whole process was over, Qi Jin silently closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

After receiving his address, Yan Beixiang also sent him a message. There was no text in the message, only a string of numbers.

"This is my mobile phone number." Said in the headset.I can't hear any emotion, and I can't guess the other person's expression, "Tomorrow, I will be on vacation on Saturday. If there is no accident, I will arrive around [-]:[-] in the morning. I will call you when I arrive."

Qi Jin listened blankly, and nodded blankly at the screen.

"Tonight, you should have a good rest." These were Yan Beixiang's last words before quitting the voice chat.

The call ends thereupon.

Even when the headphones are put down, the sense of unreality is still there.

Qi Jin felt like a person who had just been picked up from the water. Although he could breathe deeply after landing, he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while.

He turned off the computer as he said, and then sat blankly in front of the completely black screen for a while, then picked up the phone and sent a text message to the number he newly entered: This is my phone number, see you tomorrow.

Soon, the reply came——received, see you tomorrow.

Qi Chen stared at the short six words, still confused, and didn't want to jump out two more words: good night.

"Oh," he inadvertently broke into a helpless smile, and touched the warm words through the screen with his fingers, and couldn't help but bow his head and mutter to himself, "I'm so nervous...how can I say goodnight? Got it?"

He turned off the light with anxiety, lay in bed and listened silently to the wind and rain outside the window, and fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, the rain seemed to intensify and the drainpipes kept ringing.

Probably because she had been thinking about it all the time, Qi Yu had already opened her eyes early in the morning, and when she looked at the time, it was not even seven o'clock, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of lingering rain could be heard.

He didn't continue to rest on the bed, he just got up to wash and change clothes.

He planned to tidy up his whole body so that he would look less haggard and more energetic.When meeting for the first time, at least make a good impression.

After a simple breakfast, Qi Yu had already gone downstairs at 07:30.

He only has a mobile phone and an umbrella as a backup.Today's rain is denser and more urgent than yesterday's. It's probably inconvenient to come here by any means of transportation.

Qi Jin came to the entrance of the corridor, looking at the vast rain outside, feeling completely at a loss.

He walked to the corner where he had picked up the kitten, and bent down to sit down.This location has the best view, and there are eaves to shelter from the rain, which is very suitable for waiting for people.

Although the rain can cover it, the wind cannot.The early morning in mid-October is cold and windy, and even through a layer of shirt and coat, you can feel the coldness. Qi Chen has not fully recovered from the cold she caused yesterday, and she has a low-grade fever. On the air vent, I had to hug my knees to keep warm.

It's almost eight o'clock, but the sky looks like it's still dark.

Over the eaves, thick clouds were dense and dark, covering the city that had been faded by the rain.

Everything in front of me looks like a black-and-white photo printed by a printer that has run out of color ink, or a movie made with old-fashioned film, as if a layer of gray mold has grown.

So when the black umbrella appeared, he thought he was still in the black and white film and forgot to act.

The black umbrella and black clothes appear indistinctly against such a dark background.

Qi Yu was completely unaware that a person appeared in front of him.

When the phone rang suddenly, he was still staring at the big raindrops forming a line under the eaves, and when he heard the ringtone, he hurriedly lowered his head to answer the phone.

"Hello?" Panting lowly, she hurriedly stood up while leaning on the wall.

"It's me." For the first time, a familiar voice came from the phone.Not in front of the computer, but in the continuous sound of rain in the background, you can even hear the rain breaking on the umbrella and crackling.

Such heavy rain... I thought he wouldn't come.

Qi Jin's heart felt a little warm, both relieved and guilty at the same time: "Have you arrived?"

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I've seen you—"

Qi Yu was taken aback.

When answering the phone, he kept his eyes on the ground, so as not to accidentally trip his feet.

After hearing that sentence, he raised his head suddenly, and finally saw a person standing quietly in the rain curtain not far away.The faded background makes the person appear to have no presence, because the black is even more obscured by the gray.

The umbrella the man was holding was black, as were the long-sleeved jacket and trousers.

The wind and rain slanted down, and the angle of the umbrella covered the face.

However, just looking at it from a distance like this, there is a feeling of deja vu.

Qi Jin was in a daze.

He was deeply confused by his fleeting thoughts, and took a step back unconsciously.

Seemingly noticing his movements, the man standing in the rain suddenly stepped forward and started to approach him.Neither of them hung up the phone yet. Apart from the sound of raindrops falling, they could hear each other's breathing as they leaned against the microphone.

Qi Min stared at him in a daze as he walked over three or two rows of fallen sycamore leaves on the road, getting closer and closer, and ripples appeared in the place where the water accumulated, shaking him a little bit at a loss.

In the end, the person in front of him stopped at a distance of less than two meters.

When I got closer, I realized that he was holding the handle of the umbrella very hard, firmly holding the angle of the umbrella, and not raising it—still covering his face.

The rain was dense and fast, and the black umbrella was covered with a layer of water mist, dripping down row after row.

The shattering raindrops seemed to urge them to break the silence.

"...The wild goose is heading north?"

Qi Jin's call was very soft, she was addressing both the microphone and the person, for fear that she might make a mistake.

Fortunately, the voice from under the umbrella was exactly what he was waiting for: "Yes."

It's within reach that I never thought about.

Qi Jin couldn't move his left hand, otherwise, he might habitually make that movement of touching the back of his ear.

In order to create a more relaxed atmosphere for the conversation, he first laughed, and deliberately said to the phone instead of himself: "Why don't you put the umbrella away, don't you want me to see your face so much?"

At this time, the man's hand holding the umbrella tightened slightly, his knuckles turned white from the cold air, but he still didn't let go.

"Can you promise me one thing first?" he said.

"What?" Qi Yu looked up in a daze.

"No matter what I look like, don't be surprised." The man's voice was never so low, and even his throat became hoarse, and he said every word.

It was a pleading tone, which sounded in front of him and in his mobile phone receiver at the same time.

Qi Jin was already soft-hearted, but at this moment she smiled and comforted her: "What are you afraid of, I don't care about your appearance at all. Just let it go-I promise you everything."

The man under the umbrella takes a deep breath.

The call ended here, because Qi Yan saw that he put down the hand holding the phone first, and lightly pressed the phone to disconnect.

Then the other hand moved.It was the hand holding the umbrella, slightly to one side, and suddenly a man's face appeared behind the umbrella, his eyes passed through the raindrops that kept falling between them, and they met silently.

Those eyes are the same black as the umbrella, impressive.

How could it not be profound.

I never forgot--

It hurts because I haven't forgotten.It was so painful that I couldn't even blink my eyes.

"...The wild goose is heading north?"

Obviously saw the face, but the answer to this question suddenly became strange and scary.

Of course he knew what the answer was.It's just that compared to this name, or another name is more suitable for the man in front of him.

"...Shen Yan...?"

Read it out like a murmur, not asking a question, but answering it.

The blood all over his body seemed to freeze in an instant, and his fingers were extremely cold.

His face was as pale as a piece of paper, he instinctively lowered his head to take a few breaths, the sound of his rapid breathing was especially sharp in the pattering rain.

"It's me." It was Yan Beixiang's voice and the man named Shen Yan who answered him.

The voice was lower and hoarse than the previous two answers, but honest as ever.

Qi Chen closed her eyes and said nothing, just panting.

The hand holding the mobile phone was tightly pressed to his mouth, in order not to make himself sound too embarrassed and uncomfortable.However, a pair of furrowed eyebrows easily betrayed him.

"Qi Yu."

The man in front of him spoke slowly and called out his real name.

"You actually... saw my last email. Didn't you?"

Qi Jin didn't admit it, and not speaking was already a kind of acquiescence.

The email that has never been answered is still lying in the folder named "to be deleted".At the beginning, those emails were always written in the name of Dr. Shen, only the last one was not.

The last letter was written by Shen Yan.

He couldn't reply to the letter written by Shen Yan, just like now, he couldn't reply to what Shen Yan said.

The rain fell boundlessly, except for this small area under the wall that was isolated.

This is a truly forgotten corner, where only two people exist, and they can only see each other, and can only hear each other's rising and falling breaths.

Other than that, there was nothing else - even the black umbrella didn't know when to put it down, the person under the umbrella came out, walked past the dividing line drawn by the rain under the eaves, and walked in front of him.

A thick and solid thing fell from the shoulders. It was a coat.With that person's body temperature.

The two hands gently gathered the two sides of the jacket, wrapping him firmly in it without touching the plaster tube.

--very warm.

Qi Jin had absolutely no strength to struggle, nor any reason.

Perhaps because my body warmed up and my sanity gradually recovered, the previous shock and drowning-like suffocation had passed, and the only thing left was hesitation.

Shen Yan is close at hand, no matter in body or breath.

He lowered his head, and even one or two strands of hair touched the other's shirt, and there was a soft rubbing sound.

The hands that put on the coat for himself did not let go, and remained on the coat from beginning to end.Shen Yan could barely feel the strength because there was no burden on his shoulders, but this seemingly simple movement restricted his movements, preventing him from turning around and leaving.

"...I think, let's go see the kitten first." Qi Wei said suddenly.

During the small return period, I stayed in the clinic for one night. I don't know if it is going well or how it is recovering.

Trying to raise his hand, the back of his hand lightly touched Shen Yan's left hand that was buttoned on the coat, and he didn't make a move to push it away, just touching it like this.When the two people put their hands together, they realized the difference between cold and warm.

As if understanding the meaning of his movements, Shen Yan slowly lowered his hand and took a step back.

Cold air fills in again.

"I'll go with you."

Qi Jin didn't look up, and didn't see Shen Yan's expression at this time.

As far as he could see, he could only see that he picked up the black umbrella on the ground again, and opened his own umbrella for him.

However, it seems that she has no intention of taking back the coat at all——

Qi Yu subconsciously pressed her hand on the position where his hand had just been let go, and clenched it tightly as if lost.Before he started to walk into the rain, he could temporarily recall the temperature there.
