During the college entrance examination, it will rain.
The sky that had been sunny for a long time started to drizzle on the day of the college entrance examination, and then it cleared up again on the last day of the college entrance examination.
As the bell rang - "The exam is over, the candidates immediately stopped answering the papers." Twelve years of hard work came to an end here.
Jiang Suchu walked out of the examination room, looked up at the clear sky, and his eyes felt inexplicably hot. She originally thought she would feel relieved when she walked out of the examination room after the exam, but as the last exam bell rang, she felt more calm when she walked out of the examination room.
He calmly said to himself in his heart: "Jiang Suichu, thank you for never giving up on yourself."
More and more candidates came out around her, and she followed the crowd and walked outside the school. As she walked, she started running slowly, knowing that Lu Zhinian was waiting for her.
There were many people at the school gate, and Lu Zhinian stood out among the parents who were taking the exam. She saw him standing there in a white coat and black trousers from a distance, not playing with his mobile phone or talking to anyone, just looking quietly in the direction where she was coming.
Lu Zhinian also saw her. He stood in the sunshine after the rain, smiled lightly at her and opened his arms.
Jiang Suichu paused, then ran over with a smile, jumped up and hugged his neck, wrapping his legs around his waist: "Lu Zhinian!"
Lu Zhinian took a small step back when she collided with him, but still caught her steadily. He put one arm around her waist and the other hooked her leg: "I'm so happy, it seems I did well in the exam."
Jiang Suchu buried his face in his neck and said in a humming voice: "Well, we will go to A University together."
Lu Zhinian tilted his head and kissed the top of her hair: "We Zhuzhu are awesome."
Jiang Suichu shook his legs and said arrogantly: "Of course, I will not break my promise to you."
There were many people around, and they clapped inexplicably when they saw the two of them, and some were even cheering for them to kiss.
Jiang Suichu originally had his face buried in Lu Zhinian's neck, but when he heard the booing, he realized how bold his action just now was.
Her face suddenly became hot and she twisted her waist to get off. Not only did Lu Zhinian not let go, he hugged her waist tightly and pushed her up.
She glanced at the people making noises around her, buried her face in his neck and gritted her teeth: "Lu Zhinian, let me down!"
Lu Zhinian raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you just jump up on your own?"
"I...I was so excited just now." Jiang Suchu clenched his fist and patted his shoulder, then kicked off his body and slid off.
Lu Zhinian looked at the crimson tips of her ears and knew that she would get mad if he continued teasing her, so he let go and put her down.
As soon as Jiang Suchu's feet touched the ground, he covered his face with one hand and pulled Lu Zhinian with the other to squeeze out of the crowd.
"Come on, hurry up." She pulled Lu Zhinian and walked quickly to the roadside, wanting to take a taxi and leave here quickly.
So shameful.
Lu Zhinian's hand was held by her, and he let her pull him forward with his lips raised.
Just when Jiang Suichu was about to reach out to take a taxi, a figure suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision.
"Sui Sui." Li Liyun held her bag and looked at her awkwardly.
Jiang Suichu's hand that had not been fully raised froze and then slowly dropped. Lu Zhinian glanced at her. There was no unnecessary expression on her face, she was very calm.
He used a little force on his hand and squeezed her hand in his palm.
Jiang Suchu felt it, held his hand back and looked at Li Liyun: "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Hearing her calling her aunt, Li Liyun's eyebrows skipped a beat, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Sui Sui, mom wants to talk to you. Okay?"
Her tone was slightly choked, with a hint of pleading.
Jiang Suchu looked at her and frowned: "Auntie, we... have nothing to talk about."
"Let's go home." As she said this, she pulled Lu Zhinian to leave.
"Sui Sui." Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Liyun took a few steps forward anxiously and stopped her: "Sui Sui, your mother has kept all the things you left at your grandma's house for you. Do you want to..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Suchu: "I don't want it anymore, just throw it away."
Li Liyun was afraid that she was leaving, so she tried to pull her with her hands but was afraid that she would be disgusted and did not dare to touch her. With red eyes, she said: "Your favorite doll when you were a child, Sunny Day Doll...and by the way, there is also your father's police uniform. Do you really...don't want them all?"
When she heard her father's police uniform, Jiang Suichu's calm and indifferent face finally showed a trace of emotion, and she murmured: "Police uniform..."
Seeing that she seemed a little loose, Li Liyun nodded immediately: "Well, do you still remember dad's police uniform that you brought to Xuancheng?"
How could she forget.
After Jiang Zhiwei's death, all identification documents must be handed over and cancelled. Only police uniforms with police logos removed can be retained by family members.
After Li Liyun remarried, Jiang Suichu was fostered at her grandmother's house. Grandma often plays mahjong outside until midnight. Jiang Suichu is often the only one at home. Every night when she didn't dare to sleep alone, she would curl up on the bed holding her father's police uniform, sobbing softly and calling for her father.
Jiang Suichu swallowed and looked at Li Liyun: "Where is it?"
Li Liyun was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jiang Suchu was asking where the thing was. She immediately said: "I...I put it at home. If you want it, can I bring it to you sometime?"
Jiang Suichu thought for a moment and said, "Give it to me tomorrow, okay?"
She doesn't need anything else, but she must get back her father's police uniform and the Sunny Day doll that Lu Zhinian gave her when she was a child.
"Okay, okay." Li Liyun nodded repeatedly: "Mom will give it to you tomorrow. Suisui... can you leave me a phone number?"
As if afraid of her rejection, Li Liyun immediately explained: "I don't have your phone number, so I don't know how to contact you tomorrow."
As she spoke, moisture oozed from the fine lines at the end of her eyes, and her eyes turned red.
Jiang Suchu looked at the tears in her eyes, pursed his lower lip and nodded: "Yes."
Seeing her nodding, Li Liyun happily took out her mobile phone: "You tell me, I... I'll note it down."
Jiang Suichu read out her cell phone number, while Li Liyun took the phone and entered it one number at a time. She looked at Li Liyun's hand holding the phone trembling, and one or two tears fell on the screen of the phone.
Jiang Suichu frowned, turned away and stopped looking: "Let's leave first. Tomorrow... you can call me."
Li Liyun saved her mobile phone number and looked at her with a reluctant nod: "Okay...Mom...I'll call you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jiang Suchu glanced at her, then looked at Lu Zhinian: "Let's go home."
"Okay." Lu Zhinian nodded slightly to Li Liyun, and took Jiang Suichu to the roadside and got into a taxi.
In the car, Jiang Suchu took Lu Zhinian's hand and lowered his eyes without saying a word, not knowing where he was looking.
Lu Zhinian leaned over and looked into her eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Suchu raised his eyelashes and looked at him: "Lu Zhinian."
"Huh?" Lu Zhinian responded in a low voice, gently stroking her crotch with his thumb.
Jiang Suichu's voice was a little low: "I should obviously hate her, but when I saw her crying, I found that I felt uncomfortable too."
Thinking of Li Liyun's trembling hands and tears just now, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She was obviously the one who abandoned him first, so he should feel happy seeing her like this.
But she found that was not the case. Seeing Li Liyun facing her cautiously, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip and looked at him: "I don't know why I am like this. I don't like myself like this."
Too complicated and contradictory.
Lu Zhinian felt a little distressed when he saw the sadness in her eyes. He raised his hand and touched her cheek, and said softly: "Because we, Zhuzhu, were once children who loved our mother."
I also longed for my mother to love me.
Because I had expectations, I was disappointed.
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood. In fact, I have always longed for my mother to love me, but it is no longer possible between her and Li Liyun.
Jiang Suchu took a deep breath and smiled at him: "I'm fine."
She is no longer the child who needed her mother, and she will not contact Li Liyun again after she gets her things back tomorrow.
Lu Zhinian raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Yes."
In the evening, after Jiang Suichu finished washing, he hid in his room and recorded audio for Lu Zhinian. She originally wanted to enroll before the college entrance examination, but she put it aside after being interrupted by Lu Zhinian that day.
She opened her notebook. She didn't write much, just a few sentences.
"TO See a WOrld in yOUr light that yOU've never Seen before."
(I use your light to see a world I have never seen before.)
"BeCaUSe I Came alive When I met yOU."
(Because I met you, I came back to life.)
"Shall I COmpare thee tO a SUmmer'S day?"
(Can I compare you to summer?)
"I mean, i lOve yOU."
(I mean, I love you.)
After recording, she put on headphones and listened to it several times to make sure that she had read it correctly and that there were no pronunciation problems before logging into the network disk and sending it to Lu Zhinian.
She didn't tell him, wanting to wait for him to find out on his own.
The next morning, Jiang Suchu received a call from Li Liyun, and the two arranged to meet outside.
Li Liyun: "Sui Sui, can mom go pick you up?"
Jiang Suichu paused and refused calmly: "No, just text me the address."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Suchu changed his clothes and went downstairs. Shu Yuan and Lu Shenghua left for the company early. Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo were playing with Beibei in the yard with a Frisbee.
As soon as Jiang Suichu walked over, Beibei ran over and jumped to ask her to play with her. She smiled and knelt down and patted its head, "Baby, my sister has to go out and can't play with you."
Pei Shuo picked up the Frisbee and panted: "Sui Sui, are you going out?"
"Yeah." Jiang Suchu rubbed Beibei's ears and stood up.
Lu Zhinian patted the dirt on his body that Beibei had rubbed against him and walked to her side: "I'll go with you."
The morning sun was already a bit dazzling. She squinted at him and said, "No, I can go by myself."
Pei Shuo: "Where are you going? You really don't want us to come together?"
"It's just over at Wuyue Plaza, not far." Jiang Suichu smiled and shook his head: "I'm going to get something and I'll be back soon."
Mainly because she didn't want Li Liyun to see Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo. She still remembered that the accident happened because her father was working for Uncle Pei, and Li Liyun was so sad that she said a lot of hurtful words.
At this time, a car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard and honked its horn several times.
Jiang Suichu glanced at the order on her phone. The online taxi she ordered had arrived. She smiled and waved to the two of them: "I'm leaving now, bye."
Lu Zhinian grabbed her and warned her uneasily: "If you need anything, call me as soon as possible."
Jiang Suchu smiled and said, "What can happen to me?"
Lu Zhinian frowned: "Do you remember?"
Jiang Suichu saw the worry on his face and said amusedly: "Okay, okay, remember."
Didi——
The driver honked the horn twice more to urge us.
Jiang Suichu broke away from his hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up and play with Beibei, he is almost dying of anxiety."
After saying that, she trotted towards the taxi.
Lu Zhinian stood there and didn't look back until the taxi was out of sight.
Pei Shuo teased Beibei and laughed at him: "Don't look at it, it's almost like a husband's stone."
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled and cursed: "Get out!"
When they arrived at Wuyue Plaza, Li Liyun hadn't arrived yet. Jiang Suichu stood at the door of the shopping mall again. This time it was not raining.
The weather is very good today, and there are people coming and going in the square. Jiang Suichu stood at the entrance of the shopping mall, looking at the cross streets not far away and couldn't help but think of that rainy day in the first year of high school.
She stood here blankly waiting for the rain to stop, but she didn't want to meet Lu Zhinian.
At that time, Lu Zhinian asked her if the two of them knew each other?
At that time, she had low self-esteem and was sensitive. She didn't dare to recognize him and even made up lies like she had never been to Yun City. Thinking about it now, she felt helpless and funny.
She raised her head and looked at the blue sky and asked herself in her heart: If time went back to that day, would she still answer like that?
She thought about it carefully, and the answer was the same.
No matter how many times he does it again, Jiang Suichu will only give that answer at that time. Because she was so inferior, timid and not brave enough at that time.
But again, she would still give Lu Zhinian cold medicine later; the two would still meet in the woods; the Chinese book with the name written on it would be blown open by the wind in front of his eyes.
She laughed silently, took out her mobile phone, took a photo of the intersection and sent it to Lu Zhinian.
【do you remember? this intersection. 】
Lu Zhinian replied almost instantly: [Yeah. Remember. 】
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and smiled, and while typing, he received another message from him.
Lu Zhinian: [You said you don’t know me. 】
Jiang Suchu: […………]
Jiang Suichu looked at his phone and muttered with a smile: "What a Lu Jiaojiao, she actually remembered it for so long."
Lu Zhinian: [Come back early. 】
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip: [Yeah. 】
