When Li Zhihan woke up again, he looked at the time on his phone.
Eleven thirty-five.
After thinking about last night, I remembered that I should have fallen asleep after being tired from crying in bed. I was so exhausted both mentally and physically yesterday that I slept until noon.
But even though it was already noon, it seemed to be dark outside the window, and no sunlight was shining in.
Li Zhihan originally thought that the curtains were blocking the sun, but after opening the curtains, he found that it was not because the light was blocked, but that it was pitch black outside in broad daylight.
I remember there was a rare heavy rain yesterday, and there was no light in the sky.
I originally thought that no matter how hard the rain continued, it would have stopped by today, or that it would rain a little less. But now from the signs outside the window, it seems that the rain is even heavier than last night. The sound of raindrops hitting the window one after another made Li Zhihan feel as if the window would almost break apart in the next second.
Not only that, when it rained heavily during the day, even though it was cloudy, you could still see light in the sky.
But what's floating in the sky now can't be said to be dark clouds, it can be said to be a whole black cloud with no edges visible.
This black cloud is like a curtain, blocking the light in the sky, so the day that should be bright now looks like darkness. Even the street lights on the road have not been turned off until now, otherwise it will only be dark outside. Darker.
Li Zhihan opened the messages on her phone. She had only received three messages since she fell asleep last night. One was from China Mobile, reminding her that her phone bill balance was insufficient, and the second one was from her landlord, telling her that she would have to pay the bill soon. Next month's rent is due.
The third message was what she least wanted to see. It was from Chen Hao, telling her that it was still raining heavily outside today and whether he needed to pick her up at night.
After Li Zhihan leaned on the bed and watched the rain for a while, he picked up his phone and replied to Chen Hao's message first, telling him not to bother him, that she would get there after she had packed up. Then he replied to the landlord's message, explaining that he had some special circumstances in the past two days and would pay the rent as soon as possible.
After replying to these two messages, Li Zhihan simply turned off his phone. There wasn't much battery left anyway, and then he lay down and covered himself with quilt and continued to sleep.
She didn't know why, although she had slept for almost twelve hours, she still felt very tired today.
After waking up again, Li Zhihan looked outside the window. The sky was completely unchanged from the morning and he couldn't tell the time. He reached out and touched his phone before remembering that it had been turned off.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, Li Zhihan was ready to get up and go downstairs.
I don’t know how long I’ve been lying in bed. Maybe it’s already night? I don’t know if I missed the agreement with Chen Hao. If it was really too late, would Chen Hao go to his mother’s hospital bed again and wait?
Thinking about this, Li Zhihan just got out of bed and found that the clothes he had changed out of last night because he was soaked were neatly folded and placed on the stool next to the bed.
He reached for the clothes, which were dry now.
On such a rainy day, it is difficult for clothes to dry overnight. Chen Yihan should have dried them almost half-dry after washing, and then used a hair dryer to dry her clothes. Then in the afternoon, she saw that she had fallen asleep. Fold the clothes and put them next to the bed.
Thinking of this, Li Zhihan couldn't help but feel a little warmer in his heart.
Since the death of his father, theoretically speaking, he has hardly felt any family love anymore.
Her mother was indeed very kind to her, but she fell ill not long after her father passed away. Although she had that heart, she no longer had the ability to do anything to care for herself. Over the years, she had become accustomed to encountering... If there is any difficulty or trouble, just bear it alone.
If you fall down, get up by yourself, pat your clothes and continue walking. If you have a cold or fever, wear thicker clothes and go for infusions and injections. If you get caught in the rain, come back and wipe your hair with a dry towel, and then quickly take a hot bath to prevent colds. .
This can be said to be the first time since she grew up that someone has taken care of her, making ginger soup for her, blow-drying her hair, and blow-drying her own clothes for fear that she wouldn't be able to dry them the next day.
Li Zhihan gently buried his face in his clothes and breathed in the fragrance of the laundry detergent remaining on his clothes. He had smelled this fragrance on Chen Yihan more than once, and now it felt more intimate on his clothes. .
Li Zhihan's eyes were slightly red. If it were yesterday, she might have cried now.
But her mood today is much more stable than yesterday.
Crying can't solve any problems. There are still many things that I have to do, such as Chen Hao's request that I agreed to in the evening. After meeting Chen Hao's needs, how to find other ways to get Chen Hao and Zhao Laosan to plead guilty and be punished.
Li Zhihan rubbed his forehead. At present, the best way is to wait until his mother dies in a normal state and he has no other worries in the world before he can completely fall out with people like Chen Hao regardless of the consequences.
This also means that I will never have the opportunity to marry and have children in this life. As long as I have relatives, I will have weaknesses.
Although it seems that there is no hope for him in this life, but think about Zhang Ziqing, a young man who should have a bright future at a young age. Because he died, he did nothing and lingered on like this. His conscience for the rest of his life Can't get through either.
Agreeing to Chen Hao's request this time is, on the other hand, an opportunity to get close to him. If he can gain Chen Hao's trust in the next few years, he might be able to get stronger evidence.
Thinking of this, Li Zhihan's suppressed mood relaxed a little. Since he had chosen to take this path, he should pack his things and go to Chen Hao's appointment.
After changing his clothes, Li Zhihan neatly folded the quilt on the bed and the pajamas Chen Yihan brought to him and placed them on the bed, then opened the door and left the room.
In the corridor on the second floor, she saw the wooden door in the deepest part of the corridor that was different in style from the other rooms. That should be Zhang Ziqing's room.
Walking to the door of the room, Li Zhihan stood quietly at the door for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
Unlike yesterday when the store was crowded with high school students, today there was probably no one in the store except for Chen Yihan who was wiping her tears while watching a harem drama behind the bar, probably because of the heavy rain.
Although Li Zhihan's footsteps going downstairs were very light, Chen Yihan still noticed it when he walked downstairs.
"Are you awake? It looks like you were very tired yesterday." Chen Yihan glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 6:33 pm. Li Zhihan had slept for nearly twenty people this night. hour.
"Maybe I encountered too many things yesterday, and I am physically and mentally exhausted." Li Zhihan smiled and said, "Thank you for taking me in, Sister Yihan. Otherwise, there was such a heavy rain yesterday, and I might have fallen to the ground. .”
"Isn't this what it should be? Not to mention going out and getting wet again. The way you came into the store yesterday, you looked like you were going to fall down at any time. It was so scary." Chen Yihan looked at it. Looking at Li Zhihan, "Are you ready to go out again? It's still raining heavily outside.
I also watched a program last night, in which an old professor from the Meteorological Bureau said that the rain stopped this morning. When I woke up, the rain was not light at all. It is estimated that many places in the city are now flooded. No, just wait until the rain stops before leaving. It doesn't matter if you stay a few more days. "
Li Zhihan shook his head, "No need, sister Yihan. I told my mother yesterday that I would stay with her in the evening. She was not in good health to begin with, and the weather is not good now. I have to go see her today, otherwise I won't rest assured."
"Hey, you really need to go back and take a look. Just wait for me."
Chen Yihan turned around and went up to the second floor. After a while, she came down from upstairs with an umbrella in her hand.
"How can I go out without an umbrella when it rains so heavily? But it's still windy outside. If it feels inconvenient to go out, I can come back at any time."
"Okay, thank you, sister Yihan." Li Zhihan took the umbrella, and Chen Yihan escorted her to the door.
Chen Yihan opened the wooden door of the store, and a gust of wind suddenly blew into the store along the opened door. The wind was so strong that the two of them couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Miss Li, why don't you just wait a little longer? It's not only raining outside, but the wind is also so strong, and you're so thin. It's too dangerous to go out." Chen Yihan quickly closed the door.
Li Zhihan looked at the trees outside that were swaying by the strong wind. After hesitating for a while, he still shook his head, "No need, Sister Yihan. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"But......"
Chen Yihan wanted to say something more to dissuade Li Zhihan, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Zhihan opened the door and walked out.
Chen Yihan looked at Li Zhihan's back as he walked further and further away. In this bad weather, her thin body was swayed by the strong wind. It seemed that she was about to fall down in the next second, but every time she was blown by the wind After deviating from the route, she was able to walk back on her own despite the strong wind.
It wasn't until Li Zhihan's back turned into a black dot in his sight that Chen Yihan withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply.
