Chapter 234 The Darkness of Rainfall
The rain hit the windows with a bang, the lead-colored dark clouds rolled over the sky of the coastal city, and the thunder and lightning that passed by seemed to open one eye for the black clouds, and then the muffled thunder that rolled in was the queen of the clouds who was not angry and majestic Heavy panting.

Chu Zihang was standing at the door of the classroom. The wind force of grade [-] made the flag on the playground of Shilan Middle School tremble violently. Several senior students were bending over the flagpole to avoid the rain and tried to lower the flag, but obviously they failed. up.A boy accidentally touched the button and opened the umbrella in his arms. The wind blew the umbrella and flew him backwards. The muddy lawn became a drowned duck.

On the playground, the cars blared constantly, and the lights from all directions reflected the shadow of the flagpole in the rainy night. The loudspeakers one after another seemed to be a miscellaneous band without a conductor. In ordinary playgrounds, students scurry around like headless flies, and most of them are wearing black raincoats, reminiscent of the little tadpoles whose mothers cannot be found in children's textbooks.

Chu Zihang stretched out his hand under the eaves, and the rain splashed on his hand, letting him know: Oh, it turns out that the rain was really poured from the sky—with this level of rainfall, the whole world is full of rain. With the silver waterfall hanging curtains, everything is washed hazy by the water spray. It is difficult to distinguish whether the rain falls from the sky to the ground, or the water from the ground flows back to the sky.

It is raining everywhere.

The mobile phone vibrated and received a new letter. Chu Zihang glanced down and then silently deleted it. He leaned against the wall and folded his hands blankly watching the chaotic car show gradually quiet down from the glitz in the rainy night. Outside the school gate, only the messy and rain-washed playground remained.

"Waiting for someone? Still can't go home?"

The voice came from the right side of Chu Zihang. A boy from a lower grade walked up to Chu Zihang and squatted down. Together, he sat on the eaves of the teaching building and watched the mirage of rain rising and falling.

"Wait someone."

Chu Zihang replied that this boy from the lower grade who had never met before was not familiar with him, but he was not a cold-faced evil star who refused people thousands of miles away. He even said that few people in Shilan Middle School dared to talk to him. People who are familiar with him say that his zodiac sign is a refrigerator, and he can feel the bone-chilling chill inside his pupils before opening the refrigerator door.

"Oh, wait for someone, wait for someone, at least someone will pick you up in this weather." The boys in the lower grades seem to be a little younger than Chu Zihang, and they should also be from Shilan Junior High School.

He and Chu Zihang had never seen each other before, but they squatted beside Chu Zihang so naturally.

The heavy rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the big raindrops were blown by the wind in the air and smashed into each other, and sprinkled the ground with scattered sprays. The wind gradually strengthened, and the dark clouds rolled up.

Chu Zihang looked down at the silent boy squatting beside him, and suddenly said his name: "Lin Nian?"

As if he had answered the code correctly, the boy in the lower grade subconsciously looked up at him, touched his cheek in confusion, not sure how Chu Zihang, whom he had never met before, recognized him: "You How do you know my name, my name is written on my face?"

"A transfer student from the junior high school, your score in the entrance examination is the first, you were praised in the speech under the national flag, and the president of the high school student union personally issued the admission letter to you." Chu Zihang turned his head back and continued to look at the rainy night , "I was in the audience at the time, and you were wearing a white T-shirt with the logo of the noble bird and black slacks that day, and your shoes were a pair of white Nike sneakers."

"Wow, you have a really good memory, and your grades should be pretty good too, right?" The boy nodded, thinking that this person is really free, he actually remembers the logo of the person on stage while speaking under the national flag without taking a nap.

"It's not bad." Chu Zihang didn't say that he was also the first grader who received a scholarship this year. After all, the first grade can't change the two of them standing under the eaves, sheltering from the rain like a wet crow.

"I was studying in a public middle school before, and the condition for entering Shilan Junior High School is that if I get the city's top score in the third year of junior high school entrance examination next year, otherwise I will be expelled from school." The boy laughed.

".But you beat someone into the infirmary on the first day you entered the junior high school." Chu Zihang looked down at him and asked, "Why? Are you not afraid of being demerited and dismissed?"

"You should be the type of three good students in school, right?" The boy caught the rainwater with his hand in boredom, "Have you never had a fight?"

"Hit."

"Then we still have a common topic." The boy said, "There was a man in the second department of junior high school who said my shoes were fake, so I beat him, and then threw his shoes into the urinal of the toilet. "

"Why?" Chu Zihang subconsciously asked.

"Why?" The boy patted his wet hands, "The pair of shoes were given to me by someone else."

"But if it's true, that boy is right." Chu Zihang asked.

"What do you mean?" The boy turned to look at Chu Zihang.

"I have no malice. My last birthday gift was a pirated "Shrek" DVD, which was also a fake." Chu Zihang was silent for a while, trying to show that he had no malice.

"Oh, who gave it to you?" The boy was a little dazed by the topic.

"My father." Chu Zihang paused before answering.

"Your father is really superb. But it's considered intentional. I sneaked in to watch that movie through the back door of the movie theater, and I only watched half of it, because finally the people from the movie theater came in to check the tickets. I have to Sneak out early in the dark." The boy scratched the back of his head and said.

"Why didn't you buy a ticket?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I can't afford it." The boy looked Chu Zihang up and down and said with a smile, "After all, I don't have a top-notch dad or mom to give me a pirated DVD for my birthday. I only have one older sister in my family."

"." Chu Zihang was silent for a while and seemed to understand. After a while he hesitated and said, "If you want to watch it again, I can lend you the disc. I went to the cinema to see it."

"But I don't have a DVD player at home." The boy sighed and stared at the rain again in a daze.

Chu Zihang didn't speak any more, the two of them just watched and listened to Yu quietly.

".You're a nice person. If you have a chance, I'll go to your house to watch a movie next time you celebrate your birthday?" The boy suddenly said.

". But I usually have a barbecue party at home on my birthday instead of watching movies." Chu Zihang said.

"Well, no movies, but a barbecue party"

"I remember your name. I can invite you to my birthday next time. If you have time," Chu Zihang said, he paused, and then continued, "What would you do if the rain didn't stop?"

"Run out and find a way to take the bus. The No. 6 bus can take you to the subway station."

Chu Zihang glanced at the heavy rain outside that seemed to be drowning the world: "My father will pick me up later, where do you live? I can give you a ride."

"Are you on the way? I live on the outskirts of the city, and it's quite a detour."

Chu Zihang was taken aback when he heard the suburb of the city. He didn’t expect the boy to live so far away, which meant that after entering Shilan, the other party had to take the subway and bus for an hour or two every day to reach the school. According to Shilan’s seven The tradition of early reading at [-]:[-], if you want not to be late, you can only start around [-]:[-] in the morning
"Is it really too far away? Why don't you forget it? When the rain is lighter, I will run back by myself. I run very fast. During the physical examination, the track and field department in the high school of the school wanted to poach me." The boy smiled. .

"No, after seeing you off, the car can take the expressway around the city and go home. It's not a special detour." Chu Zihang said.

"That's a good relationship, that's a good relationship." After getting the answer, the boy rubbed his hands and turned his head to look at the pouring rainy night and stopped talking again, feeling as if he had finished what he should say, and the purpose of the trip had been achieved.

Chu Zihang was stunned, but somehow he remembered the first sentence this boy asked him when he came to talk to him.

The xenon lamp drew two white rays of light through the playground and shone on the ground floor of the teaching building. Chu Zihang and the boy who were squatting together squinted their eyes, and the latter also stood up to cover the headlights with his hands as if realizing what was happening. , the owner of the car saw their reaction and cleverly switched the high beam to the low beam, kicked the accelerator and drove the black limousine, which was outstanding on the playground, to the front of the teaching building.

Two ruts were drawn on the ground, and the accumulated water was crushed to the point that two one-meter-high water curtains were raised. Fortunately, Chu Zihang pulled the boy back to the door of the classroom to avoid the fate of becoming a drowned chicken.

Parked in front of them is a black beast that broke through the rainy night. A faint white steam rises in front of the xenon lamp. The flowing black body separates the rainwater from the roof and falls on both sides. Two "M"s overlap to form a mountain-shaped car logo. Shining in the heavy rain, this is a Maybach900 worth 62 million. Unfortunately, he came a little late today, because the car show in the playground is over. If he came half an hour earlier, he would probably be greeted with the respect of most car owners. Instead of performing pressurized water flicks in front of two and a half older children like now.

"Wow, your dad is really rich." The boy said looking at this nice car with Shen Xiong's low growl.

Chu Zihang turned his head to look into his eyes, but unexpectedly, he didn't find any envious eyes inside. He saw the steel monster in front of him that couldn't be blown by the tenth force of wind. He seemed to be watching the missile tank pulled by the military parade on TV. After avoiding sighing with emotion, there is no aftermath in my heart.

The man in the driver's seat of the Maybach opened the car door, pulled out the black umbrella from the door frame, and ran towards them at a trot. In the heavy wind and heavy rain, he struggled to hold the umbrella in front of him, bravely like a small tank , It’s just that the pace of running is inevitably a bit out of shape, just like the tanks dancing, people can’t help but want to laugh.

It's hard to imagine that a character coming out of a car of this level would bow his head and lower his eyebrows like him. Even the man himself looks very good, but when he ran towards Chu Zihang with an umbrella in his hand, he looked like a The dad who stewed a bowl of fresh warm pork intestines for his son as a supper is just as attentive.

This is like a very ordinary father. When he came out of the Maybach, he opened the umbrella and saw only his son under the eaves not far away. The good car behind him was just a steel tool with the headlights on for him to see.It was only at this time that Chu Zihang realized that the gaze of the boy beside him looking at the man in the rain suddenly became indescribable. It was a very complicated emotion, which was obscured by the silver light of the heavy rain after a fleeting moment.

"This is my father, he has no money, he is just a driver." Chu Zihang whispered to the boy.

Maybe it's a kind of empathy.

Chu Zihang knew that the boy had no parents, and now the man drove such a nice luxury car through the rainy night to pick him up. The contrast between a rich father and a father who loves him may make the boys around him feel sad. What emotion, he just said this sentence in exchange for words that he would never say to others at ordinary times.

"I see, driving a Maybach, it's awesome, brother, I will definitely eat a double portion when I go to your BBQ in the future." The boy said with a low laugh.

"Good." Chu Zihang said.

"Your friend?" The man rushed to the eaves with an umbrella, looked at the boy beside Chu Zihang and asked.

"Isn't it possible?" Chu Zihang said, his tone was very flat, but everyone could hear a slight rush, the boy beside him didn't say anything but just stood straightening the shoulder strap of his schoolbag.

"Yes, of course, I must be happy to see my son making friends." The man slapped his thigh and his face was as wet as a drenched rat after being beaten by the wind and rain, but his eyebrows were still beaming. "Where does your friend live? I'll drop by." I’ll take you home in the past, the wind is very strong tonight, I heard that today’s strongest is tenth, but I brought that car here, and even the twelveth wind can’t blow us away!”

When Chu Zihang saw the man giving a thumbs up and gesticulating to the steel monster in the rainy night, his face darkened a little. The man alertly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he immediately shut up, put on an umbrella, and walked ahead with a smile to escort the two boys boarding.

Chu Zihang got into the back seat, and when he wanted to reach out to give the boy a hand, he found that the boy was standing outside the car in the heavy rain, staring blankly at the school gate. He also turned his head and looked through the rear window, and found a man in a cloak A slender figure in a black raincoat was running towards them quickly against the heavy rain. Her flat-soled lady's shoes stepped on the puddles and accidentally sprained her feet several times. Fortunately, her master's balance is very strong. fell into standing water.

"Sorry, my family is here to pick me up, so I won't bother you this time." The boy poked his head into the warm Maybach and said apologetically to Chu Zihang, then turned around and ran towards the slender figure in the rainy night .

It was only then that Chu Zihang believed that the boy was really running fast as he had said, and all the seeded athletes in the track and field department could not see his back when he was running towards that figure. Trembling, very much like those two hearts that are about to get along with each other more urgently.

It was a tall and beautiful girl who came to pick up the boy in the current eight-level wind. The light makeup on her face melted away in the rain, but she still couldn't stop her beauty. The men with umbrellas outside the car quietly blew Whistling, muttering that his wife was just as good, as if he'd never been divorced.

Chu Zihang in the car didn't care about the man on the side, but just looked at the boy and the girl from a distance from the rear window. In the strong wind and rain, they put on the same black raincoat and walked towards the school gate in the rain. He ran away, stepping on the puddle of water with four feet and jumping high. At this moment, Chu Zihang found that the boy was wearing the same pair of Nike white sneakers at the opening ceremony. Suddenly he understood Why did a junior high school transfer student fight a classmate whom he had never met, just because the other party mocked him for a pair of fake shoes.

Whether those shoes are fake or not, there is no doubt that they must have been given by the girl who came to pick him up on that rainy night. The girl may be her sister, or someone else. She spent more than a month and a half of her meager salary. , sent a birthday present to the boy.It was a pair of brand new white sneakers, which fit well on his feet. She praised him that these shoes looked good on him, and asked him if he liked them, and he said he liked them to death.So no matter who jumps out and says his shoes are fake, he will beat them up, because the girl gave him these shoes, even if the shoes are indeed fake, he will beat up violently, just because of those shoes It's his birthday present, and what she gave can't be fake, and it can't be fake.

"It's pretty good, isn't it?" Chu Zihang said softly.

If a man can give him a pair of shoes in front of his father on his birthday, he will unpack them and wear them on his feet no matter whether they are real or fake. Hit his head with the kendo learned in the Children's Palace, until he apologized to him bleeding.

At home, the pirated "Shrek" disc that the man gave him was still on the bookshelf. He read it dozens of times, and when he could memorize the lines, he had to watch it again, waiting for his birthday next year. A disc of "Shrek 2", whether it is a pirated copy or a genuine one.

"What did you say? It was raining too much just now and I didn't hear you clearly." The Maybach door closed, and the heated seat gushed out hot air, making Chu Zihang warm all over for a moment. He turned his gaze back from the rear window and looked at The cold eyes of the man in the driver's seat eased for no reason, "It's nothing."

"It's fine, let me tell you, it's a good thing I didn't go to the car wash this morning, no contact car wash, [-] at a time, if I wash it"

The boring topic started, the man in the driver's seat kept talking, the voice in Chu Zihang's ears was slowly filtered by the sound of rain outside the window, the Maybach started the engine and drove out slowly, from the boys and girls running in raincoats Over the overflowing warm air-conditioning heaters on both sides, it floated out of the gate of Shilan Middle School in the flick of its tail.

At the school gate, a boy in a black raincoat on the side of the road looked at the Maybach cutting into the rain and waterfall like a sharp knife, just like a bookmark cut through a tragic story, and the scene will be repeated countless times in the future.

The Maybach that rushed into the rainy night galloped back.

"What's wrong?" the person beside him asked the boy softly.
"Nothing," said the boy.

"It's just... the rain is really heavy today." The boy looked up at the sky, and the heavy rain fell on his cheeks.

He didn't speak, and closed his eyes to quietly feel the touch of the rain across his face. In the darkness, with the help of the thunder across the dark clouds, he carefully heard the tragedies that were destined to happen in the rainy night.

God.

maybach.

Torrential rain.

A man who goes to God and wields a sword.

A cowardly boy running with his back.

The darkness of the rain falling madly.

"Yeah, it rained a lot today"

The rain was streaming down his cheeks, and the boy in a black raincoat opened his eyes and said softly.

Chu Zihang stood alone by the bus stop at the entrance of Shilan Middle School. The No. 6 bus in the distance approached the platform with its yellow light flashing, and the rainy street was sparsely populated.

It's raining all over the sky, and it's hard to tell whether the water is coming from the sky or the ground.

He was the only one standing alone on the rainy street.

Everything is very much like that day that will never go away in memory.

On June 2009, 6, the coastal city experienced heavy rain.

To this day, he still walks alone in the rainy nights, and he returns to his hometown on the rainy nights, persistently rebuilding the sandcastle by the sea with the scenes in his memory.

On a rainy night, the boy wearing a black raincoat at the gate of Shilan Middle School revisited the old place, and he could no longer find the Maybach who couldn't return to the elevated road in the stormy night and the man talking nonsense in the car.

Things are wrong.
