Douluo: I, the Moon-Drinking Dragon, descend upon the peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 74 74. The story of our first encounter in the past, and our long-awaited reunion today

It is obvious that as long as Dan Xiao has a slight thought, or as long as she is willing, the quietly falling rain will go back on its own.

He could have made the rain fall back into the sky in the opposite direction, but that was not necessary.

Walking quietly in the rain may be a good thing. The rain in early spring is always cool and gentle, and may be able to wash away the thick dust in your heart.

Dan Xiao is just Dan Xiao, but the past events before this body turned around can never be severed from him just like that.

Just as I was about to step into the rain, a black umbrella suddenly reached out to me.

Looking along the arm holding the umbrella, Dan Xiao saw the golden hair. In the dark rain, the golden hair was bright and eye-catching.

Even Dan Xiao felt his eyes brighten, but when he saw the girl's faint smile, Dan Xiao also smiled.

"Long time no see, Sister Nannan."

"Long time no see, Xiao. But please don't call me sister."

Jiang Nannan tied her hair and smiled sweetly.

"Uh, then should I call you...?" Dan Xiao was stunned.

Jiang Nannan suddenly turned her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Just, just call me by my name..."

Dan Xiao naturally heard it. Seeing Jiang Nannan's shy look, Dan Xiao took the initiative to continue the topic:
"Okay Nan Nan, have you been waiting here at the Soul Guidance Department for a while?"

"No, I, I just arrived."

Jiang Nannan shook her head, and the blush on her face faded a lot. Hearing this, Dan Xiao glanced at Jiang Nannan's shoes. There was still some dust on the edge of the sole, but it looked much drier.

If they are still a little wet, it means you have obviously just arrived and brought an umbrella with you. If the soles of your shoes are almost dry, it means you probably came here during the rain and have been here for quite a while.

Although he felt a little grateful, Dan Xiao did not expose the girl's lie.

"Anyway, thank you Nan Nan for coming to pick me up." After Dan Xiao finished speaking, he found another topic: "Have you finished class?"

"The classes were suspended after lunch. Many students have gone home today. I plan to go back tomorrow."

Jiang Nannan's voice was very gentle, with a smile on her lips from time to time, which did not seem like her usual cold self.

"Is that so? That really caught me off guard." Dan Xiao nodded, and suddenly raised her head again: "Oh, by the way, Nan Nan, have Sister Tang Ya and Senior Bei Bei left?"

"As for those two, they usually don't leave the academy." Jiang Nannan thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"I see. Nan Nan, can you please inform them in the evening and tell them that I'm planning to hold a party at the largest restaurant in the east of the city?"

"Okay, I'll tell Xiaoya and the others later."

Jiang Nannan nodded, and walked side by side with Danxiao in the rain, holding an umbrella.

After this sentence, there was a sudden silence between the two.

Or rather, there was no conversation for a long time.

Jiang Nannan just followed Dan Xiao nervously, feeling extremely nervous. She had wanted to ask these questions for a long time, but she didn't know how to say them or even how to start.

Dan Xiao also roughly guessed it. How could he not understand Jiang Nannan's hesitant attitude?

But that doesn't matter.

For Dan Xiao, he can deal with things in the evening later, and now he can just enjoy the rain at this moment.

Unconsciously, the two of them strolled to the shore of Poseidon Lake, watching the calm lake surface bloom with water flowers. The moist breath also made Jiang Nannan feel at ease.

"Why don't you just stand here for a while?"

Dan Xiao suddenly stopped, and between a grove of trees, he raised his head and looked towards the depths of Poseidon Lake, towards the faintly visible island in the center of the lake.

"Ah."

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly and stood aside holding the umbrella tightly, but the umbrella in her hand was suddenly taken away by someone.

"Thank you for holding the umbrella for so long, Nan Nan. Let me do it."

After saying that, Dan Xiao closed the umbrella in his hand, and the rain fell from the sky, but for some reason it avoided Dan Xiao and Jiang Nannan.

In other words, the rain was blocked by people.

The cloud chanting technique that can block out wind and rain is not difficult. Dan Xiao can do it easily as long as he thinks about it.

Seeing Jiang Nannan still hesitant, Dan Xiao sighed inwardly. It turned out that he could only ask about that matter himself.

"Nan Nan, you came to see me this time not just to pick me up, right?" "Why not? But I do have something I want to ask you this time."

Jiang Nannan nodded and pursed her lips. Just when Dan Xiao thought that he would have to wait for a while, Jiang Nannan finally took the initiative to say it.

"Ah Xiao, I want to ask you something, is that okay?"

"can."

Dan Xiao nodded, and the sound of falling rain gradually became smaller.

"As long as it's Nan Nan asking and it's not too much, it's fine. After all, we are friends."

Friends? Hearing this name and relationship, Jiang Nannan felt a sense of loss for no reason, but she still wanted to confirm the question in her mind.

"Ah Xiao, have you ever seen a little girl with blonde hair in your life? It's about the same color as mine."

Having said that, Jiang Nannan touched her hair.

Apart from the soft touch, what remains is the brightest golden color in the dark rain curtain.

"I've seen it."

Dan Xiao's answer made Jiang Nannan happy, but what Dan Xiao said next made Jiang Nannan fall into silence.

"I've seen quite a few, both boys and girls."

"Then you must have saved a little girl before, right? Xiao, there was a little blonde girl like this. Her mother was seriously ill at the time and she didn't know what to do."

"At that time, the family behind a famous sect in that town approached the little girl."

"They promised to give the girl the medicine to save her mother, but they never told the girl the price she would have to pay."

Because she was speaking out her deepest feelings, Jiang Nannan's tone became increasingly depressed, and even tears welled up in her eyes.

"That girl, for the sake of her mother, didn't even consider what price she might have to pay, and simply nodded in agreement. However, just when the girl was about to get the medicine..."

Jiang Nannan hadn't finished her words when Dan Xiao suddenly interrupted her.

"What the girl saw left a shadow that she will never forget in her life. That kind of thing between a man and a woman had a significant impact on her."

Jiang Nannan was stunned, but Dan Xiao continued:

"The girl wanted to run away, but was stopped. Someone from the family told the girl that if she wanted to be her mother, she had to sacrifice herself, otherwise her mother would be beyond help."

"And the little girl almost agreed. Just when she was about to agree, a boy who looked about the same age as her fell down from the sky in front of the girl, right?"

Jiang Nannan couldn't help but widen her eyes. She nodded stiffly, the anticipation in her heart growing stronger and stronger.

"I don't know where the boy came from, but after he figured out the situation, he knocked out everyone there with his absolute strength, and rushed out with the blonde girl and several other girls."

"Afterwards, the boy placed all the girls in other places. When he was about to place the blonde girl, the girl asked the boy a question in a dazed manner."

As if she realized something, Jiang Nannan covered her cheeks in embarrassment.

"The little girl yelled, 'You saved me, then who will save my mother?'"

"The boy only said, 'Let me try.' I don't know what the girl's mentality was at that time, but under the girl's angry glare, the boy followed the girl back to her home."

"Then, the young man spent one night refining the elixir. Only after he rescued the girl's mother did the anger on the girl's face disappear."

Having said that, Dan Xiao did not continue speaking. He raised his head calmly, looked at Jiang Nannan, whose face was embarrassed but full of expectation and nostalgia, and smiled slightly.

"Nannan, I know what you want to ask. You want to ask, is the boy in the story the one you only met once and whose name you only left behind once - "Xiao"? "

Jiang Nannan nodded, her eyes filled with surprise and happiness. Now that things have been said, the answer is basically there.

She was really very happy. After so many years, she finally found that boy again.

But then, Dan Xiao's words made Jiang Nannan's heart tighten a little:
"I'm sorry...you guessed it right."

"Long time no see, Nan Nan, you have grown up too."

After being frightened by Dan Xiao, Jiang Nannan was so angry that she almost wanted to hit him.

But looking at the smile on Dan Xiao's face, all I could say would end up with one final sentence:

"Long time no see, Xiao. You... bastard!"
