Shen Zhao shrank next to Gu Wang, whining, "This rain is too damn hard!"
The rain started after they entered the police station. At first it was just a drizzle, but it got harder and stronger until it poured down heavily.
There were pedestrians on the road with umbrellas that couldn’t bear such heavy rain. The umbrellas were being knocked over by the rain, and people holding the umbrella's seemed to be struggling. The raindrops fell everywhere making various sounds, but without exception the sounds were very loud.
Shen Zhao looked at Song Zhiyan, "Yanyan, would you like to go to school and get us an umbrella?"
Song Zhiyan rolled his eyes, "How can I go back?"
Shen Zhao, "Just run."
Song Zhiyan, "...."
Just when he was worried, an umbrella stretched out in front of him. The long handle was black and plated with gold, looking low-key yet expensive.
Shen Zhao held the umbrella, "Is this umbrella very expensive?"
Gu Wang, "..."
He Qinghuan glanced at Gu Wang and asked lightly, "There are only two umbrellas, who is with me?"
He thought that Gu Wang would be eager to share an umbrella with him, but the boy standing beside him didn't even lift his eyelids, having zero intention to move.
Shen Zhao didn't have any self-awareness and volunteered, "Class monitor, I'll be with you-"
Gu Wang grabbed Shen Zhao, "I'm with him,"
Shen Zhao had no brains, he wouldn't know if he offended people, All three of them can't afford to offend He Qinghuan.
He Qinghuan smiled, the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes dissipated in an instant. Shen Zhao was a little stunned. It's no wonder that people in school confessed to He Qinghuan like crazy all day long. He was unusually good-looking.
Gu Wang was a little uncomfortable walking next to him. He really wanted to keep a distance from He Qinghuan.
Song Zhiyan was taller than Shen Zhao, so it was him who held the umbrella. Shen Zhao clung to Song Zhiyan's waist with a stubborn face and grabbed the handle of the umbrella and pulled it to his side. Before they had even walked a few steps, the two of them were already wet from fighting for the umbrella.1
Gu Wang and He Qinghuan walked behind them.
The atmosphere between the two people was very strange, no one spoke, and Gu Wang even kept a certain distance from He Qinghuan. Their shoulders didn't even touch each other.
He Qinghuan saw that half of Gu Wang's shoulder was completely wet. Even so, Gu Wang still didn't want to get close to him.
Was he a poisonous snake? Or a predatory beast? Was he not the one madly in love with him a few days ago? No wonder they all say that if Gu Wang really likes someone he loves them, but if he doesn't like them, then they are no different from a stranger in his heart.
He Qinghuan feels that he is like this now.
Gu Wang was shorter than him, his hair was dyed light chestnut, his eyes were bright, his skin was fair, and his whole person was like a fragile doll.
There was a layer of water on his body, some of the hair was wet, making him look particularly soft and fragile.
He Qinghuan's umbrella was slightly slanted toward Gu Wang unnoticeably.
Gu Wang was in a daze, completely in outer space, and didn't notice this at all.
He has to act a little colder and let He Qinghuan know that he has really given up. He only hopes that there will be fewer people after returning back to school. It is best not to meet the male lead, if he does he will jump into the Yellow River to wash himself clean.
He Qinghuan went to pick him up, and He Qinghuan gave him an umbrella. This is enough to make the male protagonist go crazy with jealousy. Of course, the male lead will not be angry with He Qinghuan, because He Qinghuan has the same attitude towards the male lead, even at the end of the book, He Qinghuan is alone, the hero is still in love, and He Qinghuan does not love anyone.
Therefore, the male protagonist could only cast his anger on Gu Wang, thinking of Jiang Chi, a touch of hostility appeared between Gu Wang's eyebrows and eyes.
He Qinghuan clearly noticed the emotional changes of the person next to him, what did Gu Wang think of?
From the police station to the school was just a ten minute walk, but because of heavy rain and darkness, the walking speed has slowed down, and after 15 minutes, they were only halfway there.
There were potholes on the sidewalks and water accumulated, so if one inadvertently stepped on the hollow brick underneath, muddy water would splash everywhere.
After splashing muddy water on the leg of He Qinghuan's trousers again, Gu Wang stuttered, "I'm sorry."
Then there was a third time.
"I'm sorry."
He Qinghuan, "..."
Was it on purpose?
Suddenly, Shen Zhao’s cursing came from the front, “Damn, you're breaking the law coz' it’s dark, right? Who allowed you to drive on the sidewalk ah?!"
Under the dimly lit yellow street light, an electric car flew towards Gu Wang and He Qinghuan without any intention of evading.
In actuality, it wasn't going that fast. After all, it was raining, but the sidewalk wasn't flat nor wide enough. If two people were walking side by side and add to that a car... it is definitely not possible. Only Gu Wang and He Qinghuan could make way.
Gu Wang froze up. He Qinghuan stretched out his hand to embrace his shoulders and moved to his side. Gu Wang was held in He Qinghuan’s arms. While he trying to distinguish whether the smell of He Qinghuan was mint or lemon, he saw He Qinghuan kick the waist of the man riding the small car.
Gu Wang saw the man and his car roll into the ditch beside him, "..."
It was just a small water ditch, so it definitely was not a big problem, but Gu Wang was still frightened by He Qinghuan's fierceness.
In such a short period of time, He Qinghuan could quickly get himself away, and also kick someone over. This... what the f*ck...huh?!
The book says that He Qinghuan was a cold white flower that seeks revenge for a dirty look. But now Gu Wang feels that He Qinghuan is not a big white flower, he is a man-eater!
As they approached the school, Gu Wang calmed down. Later, he realized that He Qinghuan was still holding his shoulders, and the umbrella was tilted toward him. He could hear his own heart thumping. He turned a little to the side, then moved his shoulder and lifted his hand pretending to be flicking his own hair, forcing He Qinghuan to let go of him smoothly.
As He Qinghuan let go, Gu Wang felt relieved, and chanted 'He Qinghuan get far away from me' three times silently, ignoring the rapid heartbeat that resounded the moment He Qinghuan embraced him with absolute protection.
Compared with fate, life is more important. Besides, He Qinghuan should be extremely disgusted with himself, and all those actions that were done was just a natural reaction. It didn't matter if it was Gu Wang or not.
Finally, they finally reached the teaching building. Because of the heavy rain, it was dark again, so there were not many people on the road, as they went to study in the evening. Gu Wang was about to go back to the classroom to pack his things and go straight home.
He rolled up his wet sleeves, pushed all the wet hair on his forehead away from his face, and revealed a clean forehead. He turned his head to Shen Zhao, "Going up?"
Shen Zhao, "If not, I... F*ck, Wangwang you are so handsome!"
He was extremely exaggerated and it shocked He Qinghuan who was putting away the umbrella. He Qinghuan glanced at Gu Wang lightly, and after staying on his face for a few seconds, he looked away casually.
Gu Wang pretended not to see He Qinghuan looking at him, and turned to talk to Shen Zhao.
He Qinghuan lowered his eyes to arrange the umbrella, long eyelashes covering the coldness in his eyes.
Although he hates him, He Qinghuan still had to admit that Gu Wang is exactly his type.
