Chapter 149 Waiting for the rain, but no one

The weather in London is cloudy and unpredictable.

When Xie Yuqing got off the train, the sky was still clear, but when she took a taxi to Primrose Hill, there was a mist that could not see the sun.

I heard that the spring here is full of pale yellow primroses, but it is winter now, the mountains are covered with bare tree branches, and there are not many tourists. There is a feeling of thriller in the fog.

Xie Yuqing didn't realize it, since she climbed the slope, she paid close attention to the tourists around her.

When she arrived at the appointed place, she was already extremely nervous.

Even though the weather was turning cold tomorrow, she was sweating profusely on her back.

From where she was standing, she could have seen the whole of London, but because of the fog, the whole city was filled with intersecting fog.

Not far from her is the stone viewing platform, where the poem written by the British poet William Blake is engraved: I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill.
I spoke with the Sun God, and I saw him here on Primrose Hill.

Xie Yuqing was thinking that she might not be able to see the sunset today, when suddenly she heard movement behind her.

She turned her head and saw a young man with an Asian face walking towards her with a camera on his back.

Xie Yuqing was a little nervous all of a sudden, but the other party walked over to the center of the slope, and professionally took pictures of the scenery.

not him.

Although Xie Yuqing didn't see Aric's face, she recognized his temperament.

Just after she breathed a sigh of relief, another couple walked past her, talking and laughing.

Followed by a few tourists who packed their picnics and prepared to go back.

After waiting for a while, but seeing no one waiting, Xie Yuqing took out her phone and checked the time.

Aric is late.

Twenty minutes had passed since their appointment.

Is there a traffic jam?
Xie Yuqing couldn't help but click on Facebook friends.

The latest message was the specific address she sent last night, but there was no reply and it was displayed as unread.

Going forward, it was still his "ok".

In the past few days, she didn't bother her too much because she was rushing to hand in her homework, but now she realized that Aric hadn't been online for several days.

A bad thought suddenly flashed deep in Xie Yuqing's heart, and her excitement cooled down.

[Vita Xie: Are you on the way? 】

Putting down her phone, she felt less nervous and found a place to sit down.

The fog gradually became heavier, and the clouds seemed to engulf the entire sky.

Xie Yuqing felt dripping drops of water falling, she didn't bring an umbrella, and the cold wind blew through her clothes, making her wet and cold.

The tourists around are almost gone.

There was some kind of icy sharp object in the air that made her tremble all over, but she didn't dare to move half a step away.

Unknowingly, there was a pool of water on the grass slope, the night had fallen, the rain was getting heavier, and the street lamps in the distance passed through the fog, dimly reflecting a shadow on the ground.

Down the slope not far away, a figure limped up the slope in the heavy rain.

The clothes on his body were damaged in many places, his arms trembled slightly, and the blood mixed with the rainwater kept dripping down.

But when he caught a glimpse of the familiar figure on the slope, he stopped abruptly and leaned against the plane tree, not daring to go any further.

As if surprised that she was still here, complex struggles flashed in his eyes.

Joy, hesitation, scruples, resentment, self-blame...

Unprecedented emotions made people dizzy, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the complicated and indiscernible flickering in his eyes gradually settled down.

The back of the girl on the slope was slender, and the slanting rainwater hit her, and the wind and rain were about to come, but she didn't know what she was thinking, and she endured it silently without moving.

He stared at her deeply.

Neither approach nor leave.

Then he sat down, dragging the wound on his leg, the pain was excruciating.

But he didn't even frown, just leaned against the plane tree, looking at her from the bottom of the slope.
