Not only did the rain not stop, but it got heavier and heavier.
She was soaked to the skin, her eyes were washed away by the rain curtain and she couldn't see ahead clearly. She was walking outside like a headless fly, not knowing where to go.
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, but the autumn rain hit her skin with a biting chill, but she couldn't feel the cold. There was a heat inside her body, and her hot body was still heating up.
His head was dizzy, and the ghosts of several people seemed to appear in front of him.
"It was Mu Ning who seduced me, she forced me...what I said is all the truth."
"You are just an ignorant little girl. You are like this and you still want to go abroad?"
"I heard that she lives in the home of a rich man. The man is more than ten years older than her. He calls her uncle, but I don't know what the rules are..."
"Mu Ning, you disappoint me so much!"
Accusations, anger, ridicule...all kinds of sharp voices came out of her head!
ah! !
Why?
What did she do wrong? !
Mu Ning stumbled and fell from the sidewalk onto the road.
She knelt down in embarrassment on the manhole cover of the sewage drainage manhole. The dirty water flowed under her body, exuding a stench.
She wanted to get up, but her shoe got stuck on the sewer manhole cover and couldn't be pulled out.
She could only sit helplessly on the ground, looking around for help.
There was a crowd of people crowding under the bus stop. It was raining so hard that they just watched from a distance.
Surprised and sympathetic eyes intertwined on Mu Ning.
"This girl looks so pitiful. It's raining so hard. I'm afraid the water will rise. Will she be washed into the ditch?"
"I don't know. Don't mind your own business. What if you get wet?"
"It's just that she is so unlucky, whoever touches her is really unlucky."
"..."
"Rumble..."
There was thunder in the sky, and Mu Ning immediately hugged his head and lowered his head.
After a muffled thunder, heavier and heavier thunder sounded one after another, accompanied by terrible lightning.
She huddled up in fear, falling into a helpless and desperate panic.
At this time, a black Pagani drove over in the rain and slowly stopped beside her.
The headlights of the car illuminated her through the rain curtain, showing her embarrassed posture.
The car door suddenly opened, and a pair of long legs wrapped in black trousers stepped out of the car.
Passers-by under the platform looked at the man who got off the car in surprise.
He was enveloped in an aura of indifference and alienation. His dark coat made him tall and dark. He held an umbrella and walked towards the girl step by step.
Mu Ning was still sitting on the ground hugging her head and shaking. Suddenly, a dry blanket wrapped her up.
The sudden warmth made her startled. The raging thunder was blocked out, and the sound of rain gradually became quieter.
She looked up blankly.
The sky was gray, and the man was standing next to her, his handsome cold face buried under the big black umbrella, his expression dark and unclear.
Mu Ning blinked his eyes that were blurred by the rain, and his dilated pupils focused little by little.
The next second, he shivered unexpectedly.
"Gu, Uncle Gu..." She shouted jerkily, her throat extremely hoarse.
The man stared at her, and his deep voice sounded a little helpless, "It's raining so hard, why are you still running around?"
Mu Ning opened his mouth in silence.
The man knelt down and looked at her level, "Have you been drinking?"
She curled up her fingers and avoided his sight guiltily.
Staring at her little face that was soaked white by the rain, the man suddenly grinned, with a faint smile in his eyes.
He reached out and touched her head, as if he didn't feel dirty when he saw her on the roadside for the first time. He looked at her with soft eyes and coaxed her gently, "Go home, Ning Ning."
Mu Ning was shocked and raised her red eyes.
From his knowing eyes, he saw his pitiful and embarrassed appearance, resembling a homeless stray cat.
The man slightly raised the corners of his lips and reached out to remove the hair stuck to her face. His movements were delicate and slow, as if he was not in a hurry for her answer.
He took out a white handkerchief and patiently wiped the water drops on her face.
In the pouring rain, I heard him sigh softly, "You have made yourself like this again, how can I trust you to leave alone?"
Mu Ning's throat felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in his throat.
The man wiped her face clean, looked sideways at her feet stuck in the gap, and sighed deeply.
He turned his eyes gently back to her face and rubbed her head, "Good Ningning, can you help me get the umbrella?"
Mu Ning nodded and took the umbrella.
The man held her ankle and gently pulled her foot out of the shoe.
He held her little foot with his big hand and squeezed it, "Does it hurt?"
Mu Ning shook his head dully.
The man put down her feet, picked up her legs, and hugged her sideways.
Mu Ning didn't have time to react. With a flick of her hand, the heavy umbrella slipped from her hand.
The rain fell on them instantly.
The man's body was all wet.
Mu Ning looked at his angular handsome face being wet by the rain, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, I'm sorry..." She didn't know why she wanted to apologize, she just felt very sorry for him.
"It's okay, Ning Ning." His eyes were as soft as the car lights, covering her lightly, "It doesn't matter if you get wet, go home and give Ning Ning a bath, eh?"
The gentler the man was, the more guilt she felt in her heart.
Uncle Gu was so kind to her, but she actually left without saying goodbye...
Mu Ning trembled her pale lips, closed her eyes tightly, and leaned in his arms obediently.
The man raised his lips and carried her into the car.
…
The heating in the car was sufficient, and Song Heng drove in front without making a single sound.
Mu Ning curled up in the man's arms and shivered.
The man held her back with his big hands and comforted her, "Be good, it's okay."
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, and tasted a hint of salty taste.
He raised her chin in surprise and saw that her eyes were closed and her face was filled with tears.
"What's wrong, Ning Ning?"
"I..." Her throat was choked and she couldn't say anything.
Gu Zhiyin watched her hesitate for a long time, "Because the exchange student quota has been cancelled?"
Mu Ning was stunned, "You know everything?"
"Well, the school called me."
She turned away her little face sadly.
The man raised his hand to brush away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "If you really want to go abroad, I would rather choose a school and send you out at the end of this semester."
Mu Ning's eyes were red and she looked back at him in shock, "...Why?"
The man touched her head gently, "Didn't I say that as long as you want it, I will give it to you."
He lowered his head and coaxed her carefully, "So, stop crying, okay?"
Mu Ning's chest felt like it was blocked by stones, and his eyes and nose were extremely sore.
Why does this man always appear in time when she is embarrassed and desperate? Why could he tolerate her so patiently and tenderly no matter what she did?
His appearance today was like a beam of light, rescuing her from the darkness and despair.
It seemed like it had always been like this. It was all he had done with all his heart that had illuminated her twelve years of life.
Mu Ning finally couldn't hold it any longer and cried loudly into the man's chest.
Gu Zhiyin hugged her, pressed her head in his arms, and patted her back gently.
Song Heng heard the crying and looked in the rearview mirror curiously.
I saw a knowing smile on the man's cold, handsome face.
Song Heng felt a chill down his spine.
When he was a mercenary in the United States, he could kill dozens of people in one night without feeling so numb.
terrible.
