Melancholy rainy weather
"They say 'rain falls on Qingming Festival', but now that Qingming has passed, why is the spring rain still showing no signs of stopping?" At noon, Zhihua sat in a bus heading home, watching the raindrops outside the window and muttering to herself, "Since school started, Si Hang has come to pick me up almost every day, so I haven't had a chance to go to Nongda for self-study. Now that he didn't come today, should I go or not? But really, the weather is just too uncooperative, why does it have to rain all the time?"
It's been several days since the basketball game incident, and every day has been overcast with rain. Although the rainfall isn't heavy, the sky remains gloomy all day, affecting people's mood as well.
Although Si Hang returned smoothly from studying in the UK, he still thought that he was too young and lacked knowledge, so he decided to enroll in an MBA program to focus on management knowledge.
These days, he collected some schools with good reputation in the industry and found time to conduct on-site inspections one by one. In order not to delay picking up Zhī Huà on time, he scheduled all the inspections at times that did not conflict with Zhī Huà's class schedule. However, he did not expect that Zhī Huà would finish class early today.
。
When he first received the text message from Zhihua, he had thought of rushing out of school immediately. However, after calculating the time, he knew it was really too late. So, Zhihua finally had a rare opportunity to go home by herself. Nevertheless, he still added an explanation: "It's noon now, there won't be many people on the bus, so don't take a detour and just take the most convenient one straight home! After I'm done here, I might have to make a surprise inspection, you can't get away with it!"
Until Zhihua got off the bus, the rain still didn't stop. Every pedestrian on the road was hurrying along in the rain, only Zhihua's footsteps were hesitant and uncertain, because she was still hesitating whether or not to go to Nongda...
"Chen Zhihua, you're really strange. Is it that hard to decide whether to go to Nongda for self-study? Isn't that your childhood paradise? Isn't that the place you're most familiar with? If you want to go, you can go at any time, and no one can stop you. What are you hesitating about?" Zhihua got a bit angry, angry at her own indecisiveness. "Are you afraid of seeing him? You've already seen him with another girl, what else can't you accept? Besides, didn't you say you wanted to give yourself a chance? If you don't even have the courage to face him, how can you possibly untie that knot? Remember, you're just going to organize your class notes, and you can come back home anytime after you're done. It's really not necessary to be so worried!"
After finally convincing herself, Zhihua took out the mini radio from her backpack and was about to enjoy music while walking to the self-study room as usual. But before she even reached the main gate of Nongda, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her stomach:
"Old friend, you're not going to sulk at a time like this, are you?!"
She gently patted her stomach with her right hand, hoping to remind this "old friend" to behave a bit. But today, this "old friend" seemed uncooperative, and after several adjustments, there was still no improvement.
"It's so uncomfortable, do I still want to go?" Zhihua asked herself. "It must be because I haven't eaten lunch and the weather is so gloomy that it's like this! Now, Grandma should have prepared lunch for me? Even if eating doesn't take effect immediately, at least I can rest on the bed for a while. But if I go to Nongda, where can I rest?"
Thinking of a sumptuous and nutritious lunch and her small bed, Zhihua couldn't help but rush back home immediately. However, her legs still led her to walk towards the direction of Nongda...
The raindrops, which had started as a gentle patter, gradually became a steady stream, hitting the umbrella with a loud "patter" sound. Under the umbrella, Zhiya continued to press her right hand against the source of pain, hoping to convey some warmth to this injured stomach.
