Chapter 19 19. Autumn Rain
------

It doesn't rain much in the imperial capital, and even in summer and autumn, there is often not much precipitation.

But today is an exception.

After Yu Cang got off the car at Chengda Gate and said goodbye to Xiao Jiang, before he reached the school gate, an autumn rain began to fall.

Fortunately, he developed the habit of carrying an umbrella with him when he was studying in that rainy country in Europe.

Just as he opened the umbrella, before he could move forward, the phone rang suddenly.

"Second senior brother?" Yu Cang looked at the name [Song Lesheng] on the caller ID rather tangled.

"Hello, Yu Cang?" As soon as he pressed the connect button, the person on the other side couldn't wait to call out.

"Second Senior Brother, it's me."

"Good boy, you actually reported my brother's account! Do you know that I explained to Fat Goose's customer service for three whole days before they unblocked my account? Your conscience won't help you!" Will it hurt? But let me tell you, that customer service is quite interesting, me and her."

"Stop it! Second senior brother, why are you looking for me?"

Yu Cang let out a sigh of relief, deeply regretting that he had connected his call rashly.

"Oh, oh yes, I'm looking for you for dinner," Song Lesheng on the other end of the phone finally remembered something serious, "It just so happens that I'm not busy today, since you returned to China, we brothers haven't had a good time together yet."

"Now?" Yu Cang frowned as he watched the rainwater falling along the umbrella surface, "It's not a good weather right now."

"Hey, it's a rare opportunity. I heard from my teacher's wife that you have also started to resume work, and you will be even busier if you don't keep it all in the future."

"Okay, then find a place to meet."

"That's right, what do you want to eat? Today is my treat for your senior brother!"

Yu Cang thought for a few seconds, then said,

"Do you remember Lao Cao's noodle shop? Just go there."

"Old Cao's family, tsk, you are quite considerate of senior brother and my wallet, old Cao's family, I returned it last time"

"Let's meet and we'll talk." Sensing that the second senior brother was about to enter a chatterbox state again, Yu Cang hung up the phone resolutely.

In just a short while, the rain became heavier, and there were shallow water accumulations on the uneven parts of the road.

Holding an umbrella, Yu Cang returned to the side of the road, stopped the car, and rushed towards the noodle restaurant that Song Lesheng had agreed upon.

Changning District is outside the Fifth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital, far away from the bustling city.

Although many Beidiao people work in the inner ring, they often choose to live in Changning District, where housing prices are lower.

The taxi sped by on the road, splashing water from time to time because of the stagnant water on the road.

"To master, have you seen that elementary school? Just stop at that corner."

The driver stopped the car according to Yu Cang's words.

After Yu Cang paid the money and thanked him, he got out of the car under an umbrella and walked to a small noodle shop nearby.

In addition to the new signboard, this small shop named "Lao Cao's Noodle Restaurant" looks old everywhere, and there are many small advertisements posted on the glass outer door.

Pushing open the door, there was only a 30-year-old man with a mustache sitting at a table.

This is naturally his second senior brother, Song Lesheng.

Seeing him coming in, Song Lesheng got up and walked towards him.

The two bumped their shoulders hard.

"I haven't seen you for three years, brat!" Song Lesheng held his arm tightly and pulled him to sit down. "It's really not easy to see you!"

"I also miss you, senior brother." Yu Cang answered him with a smile.

"But I really didn't expect you to remember this old Cao's house."

"How can you not remember? Isn't our first dinner together here?"

Yu Cang looked at the furnishings in the store, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

Although he and Song Lesheng are both students of Yinjia Shimen, they are quite different in age.

He met Song Lesheng in his freshman year, when Song Lesheng was about to graduate from graduate school.

The reason why the two got acquainted with each other was because of the school for migrant children next to Lao Cao's noodle shop.

In Changning District, there are many farmers who come to work in the imperial capital, and many children come here with their parents, so this kind of primary school was born naturally.

There is a dilapidated small library in the school. It is usually understaffed, so it is supported by volunteers from outside.

The two met because of a volunteer activity in the library, and later, because of Song Lesheng's introduction, Yu Cang officially entered Yinjiashi's gate wall.

"Yeah, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Recalling such a past event, Song Lesheng also stopped talking for a while, and his tone was quite emotional.

"Where's Lao Cao?" Yu Cang asked him while taking off his coat and putting it aside.

"Going back to my hometown," Song Lesheng shook his head, "It is said that his parents are old and need to be taken care of, and now it is Xiao Cao. He was only a third-year child when we met."

Yu Cang was speechless for a moment.

The rain outside the door fell on the iron roof, and crackling sounds could be heard from time to time.

"Let's not talk about that, I've already ordered the dishes, Xiao Cao is busy in the back kitchen, let's make a cup first."

Song Lesheng was an optimist, and his low mood disappeared quickly. He took a bottle of wine on the table and poured Yu Cang a glass, and then filled it up for himself.

"Come on," Yu Cang raised his hand to hold him down, "I don't want to carry you back to my house with your little drinking capacity, Senior Brother."

"Why, the brotherhood has faded, why are you becoming more and more like a big brother?"

"Thank you for the compliment." Yu Cang smiled slightly, and resolutely snatched back the bottle, "I just don't want to hear the drunk second senior brother confide his life experiences and emotions to me all night."

Having known each other for many years, Yu Cang knew exactly what a certain person looked like when he was drunk.

"It's boring and boring. Compared with the cold face of the big brother, you have a poisonous tongue."

Song Lesheng reluctantly raised half a glass of wine and touched Yu Cang.

All in one drink.

"How have you been these few years?" Song Lesheng asked him.

"Fortunately, not much has changed."

"I think the change is not small. I chatted with the teacher two days ago. He said that you are different. I didn't believe it, but now I have to admit it."

"How do you say that?" Yu Cang looked at him with a smile, "Just because I've eaten more often recently, has the old man started to feel resentful towards me?"

"I don't know how to say it. When I saw you before, I could see the vigor of that young man at a glance. Now." Song Lesheng looked at him up and down, "I don't know how to say it."

"Is it good or bad?"

"I don't know, but the teacher said that you have grown up."

"Grown up." Yu Cangza touched the words, "Maybe, I quite like the current state."

Although many of those dreams did not leave a deep mark, they still changed him after all.

"Here comes the face!"

Xiao Cao from the back kitchen came to the two of them with two bowls of hot noodle soup.

Yu Cang looked up at him.

Xiao Cao looks very similar to his father, but he should have forgotten who Yu Cang is.

"Let's eat noodles, the best taste is only available in the moment, and it won't be the time after a while."
