Chapter 447: After the rain, it clears up
silence.

Endless silence.

A suffocating silence.

The expression on Gong Shuji's face changed from indifferent to shock, shame, anger, and guilt, and then switched to several colors one after another. For a long time, just when I thought he couldn't speak, he replied:
".you know?"

I said this as if I was really a big fool.

I glanced at him:
"I'm just slow, not stupid."

Gong Shuji fell into silence again, and then agreed with my point of view:

"That's true. If you only talk about rational logic and don't talk about emotional things, no one will think faster than you."

I didn't accept the compliment, nor did I pay attention to the other party's abrupt transition. I just asked again after the two of them had walked thousands of steps:
"So?"

Gong Shuji kept walking with his head down. Hearing my "getting to the bottom of things" question, he slapped his face:

"Let me think about it, I have to think about it."

From my angle, I could just see the corners of his wry smile, but I didn’t understand:

"What's there to think about? If it is, it is, and if it isn't, it isn't."

"Who doesn't care whether he is cursed or not?"

Gong Shuji didn't reply, and I knew I wouldn't get an answer at this time, so I hurried on again without saying a word.

We finally arrived at the station before dark, but due to unlucky timing, the nearest parking and seating time was early the next morning, so we had to temporarily decide to sleep overnight in the original small hotel.

The owner of the store is still the same old couple. After we went there for a few days, the lights in the hotel were finally repaired and it was no longer pitch black. In addition, when we arrived, the store was having dinner, and the aroma of the dishes was overflowing, which made it feel like home. The warmth.

When the old couple saw someone coming in, they quickly put down their dishes and chopsticks to greet them.

I put down the backpack that was almost soaked with sweat after carrying it all day, and let out a long sigh of relief:

"Is there any room left? Let's stay one night."

Naturally, there was no one in the store, so the old couple hurriedly went to get me the key. Normally, Gong Shuji would do this kind of thing and communicate with him, but he didn’t seem to want to talk today, so I took the key. , made a haha:

"The electricity was broken when we came last time. There is electricity this time. It should be easy to take a shower, right?"

In the evening, the incandescent light bulb flashed twice in the house, then fell into darkness.

In the whole room, there was only a little bit of light and shadow reflected by the afterglow.

Today, silence seems to be following me all the time.

The old man in the store was shocked:
"Girl, I recognize you. You were here last time. When you came last time, you didn't say you were a crow's mouth!"

In the darkness, the old woman slapped the old man on the arm:
"What nonsense are you talking about? It seems like it's raining. Go and have a look. If it doesn't work, just get a stove or a candle."

My heart skipped a beat, and I walked a few steps to the door and looked out——

Sure enough it was raining.

The sky, where the afterglow still lingered, turned gloomy almost instantly, and dark clouds covered the whole world, as if a huge black curtain enveloped the world.

At first, just a few raindrops fell scatteredly.

However, this was just the beginning. As time went by, the raindrops gradually became denser. After a while, the raindrops fell rapidly like broken beads, forming curtains of water.

Raindrops splashed, jumped into the door, and landed on the ground, body, and face.

It's raining again.

I felt a little dark in front of my eyes, and the hand that was holding on the door lost its strength, and I almost fell directly to the ground at the door.

Fortunately, Gong Shuji had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he hugged me from behind in time.

He seemed to be talking, but my ear disease seemed to have recurred, and the whole world was noisy.

I tried my best to catch Gong Shuji with my backhand, and asked him over and over again:
"Is it raining?"

"Is God telling us not to go to Kunlun?"

"With such heavy rain, trains will be suspended, right?"

"We're going to miss our pilgrimage, we're missing it."

Correct.

pilgrimage.

The young people on the train originally told us this, pilgrimage.

They firmly believe that there are immortals living in Kunlun, a place where ice and snow have not melted for thousands of years, which can wash away all sins.

Therefore, all those who go to Kunlun call that road a 'pilgrimage'.

And now, it's raining heavily outside, and we probably won't be able to go to Kunlun.

I was scared to death, and I thought of the rain that night again, and I thought of the overwhelming regret on the night when the rain fell and the water flowed wildly.

But Gong Shuji caught me again. He seemed to stay with me for most of the night, and it was not until something happened later that he spoke over and over again and woke me up.

I heard clearly what he said:
"The rain has stopped and it won't affect us."

I stood up and pushed open the shaky little window to look outside. Sure enough, it was fresh after the rain and everything was quiet.

No heavy rain, no obstruction.

After the rain, it will turn out to be sunny.

If the room next door is not intolerable, do you want to sleep or not? SB, you guys! ', everything is beautiful.

No, the scolding in the next room is also beautiful.

At least it verified that I was still alive.

I sniffed and whispered:

"Gongshuji?"

Gong Shuji also answered me in a low voice:
"I'm here."

"It's stopped raining outside. We can go to Kunlun tomorrow, so don't worry."

I nodded and shouted again:

"It's taboo for public to lose."

Gongshuji always has the same patience:

"I'm here."

He repeated what he had just said. To be precise, as long as I asked him again, he would answer exactly the same.

After several times, even I felt annoyed, but he still looked gentle and answered all questions.

I couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness, but I instinctively looked in that direction:

".do you like me?"

no answer.

The robot-like Gong Shuji stopped answering questions, and my voice was the only one left in the world.

I didn't wait for an answer, I pulled back the quilt and lay down:

"Then think about it again."

"I'm going to bed first. Did you look at the ticket? Remember to wake me up tomorrow."

In the darkness, everything was blurry.

But when I was drowsy, I still heard the warmth coming from the darkness.

他 说:

"Ah."

I fell into a peaceful sleep.

Perhaps it was because he fell into a state of apathy again. This dreamless night turned out to be a rare good sleep.

Gong Shuji woke me up with a slightly tired face. According to his time plan, we bought tickets to Kunlun again.

On this always popular travel route, even the seats this time are soft seats that are rarely available during the refund window.

how to say?

Very contented.

The carriage was still very noisy, but I even slept intermittently against the back of the chair. During the bumps, I seemed to feel someone caressing my head. I leaned my head towards him and placed him next to him. In the crook of the neck.

I want to tell the other person that he has woken up and will not continue to sleep.

But before I could say anything, a dark shadow lightly covered me, and I felt my hair move slightly. The next moment, something soft touched my forehead gently.

It turned out to be a light kiss.

"It's taboo for public to lose."

I called his name, opened my eyes, looked into Shang Gong Shuji's surprised eyes, and said seriously for the first time:

"Your love is not so unrelenting."

"When we come back from Kunlun, we will go to a place without people. I will be a poor writer and you will be an old carpenter."

"We definitely won't have any complicated emotional entanglements like the older generation."

"Let's try to be together for the rest of our lives, okay?"

My friend said before that the beautiful daily routines I write are like alcohol disinfection before injections (eye shift.jpg) The finale of the next chapter.
