The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 56 Rain Flower
Lin Mi sat still, holding a book, quietly listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness.In autumn in Peking, it rained at night, adding to her melancholy and helplessness.

She waited for Cheng Qianqian to return to the room before she stood up and said goodbye.

In the empty corridor, her little leather shoes creaked on the boards. Some rooms in the corridor were lit, while others were pitch black.

Involuntarily she looked for the kind window.

The lights don't seem to be on.

Is he not in the house yet?Where did he go?
She saw that the raindrops were getting bigger and bigger, and the banana leaves in the yard were crackling. The ducks sleeping under the trees were also awakened by the sound of the rain, chasing and frolicking in the deep and shallow puddles.

She stared blankly at the rain curtain downstairs, and the water on the ground had risen to a depth of three inches.She dared not move forward.

A black shadow appeared on the dimly lit wall, and before she could recover, her eyes were covered.

Lin Mi panicked and was about to shout when the man suddenly let go of her blindfolded hands.

She looked back and saw a man in a black raincoat.Next to it is a familiar bicycle.

His raincoat covered his head to his feet, and he was wearing a mask, only his eyes could be seen.

She let out a long breath.

"Mr. Zhang, how do you know I'm here?"

Zhang Xiaofa took off the mask and pursed his lips slightly.

He didn't speak, just smiled lightly.

He took out a new handkerchief, wrapped it around her shoulders, and took the initiative to wipe the raindrops from her hair.

Lin Mi was taken aback by his sudden movement.

She struggled vigorously in his arms.

"Stay still. Be good."

His voice was very gentle, but it was different from the tone of the past.

His slender fingers were already caressing her black hair.

Zhang Xiaofa drank at night, but he was not drunk.

After drinking, he remembered that He Shi'an told him about Lin Mi's marriage contract with his cousin during the day, but he became more open-minded than before, and no longer deliberately suppressed his affection for her.

His hand touched her hair tie, and he loosened it lightly, untying the knot.

Lin Mi's hair, like silky black satin, fell gently from between his fingers.

She stuck to his raincoat, heard his heartbeat, and seemed less flustered than before.

He looked at her, his eyes finally revealed the long-hidden love and affection.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaofa saw that Lin Mi's expression was a little strange.

He gently held her hand, which turned out to be cold.

Her palms warmed, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down.

"Be good, don't cry. Tell me if you have any troubles."

He let go of her hand, changed another handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Mr. Zhang, why do you have so many handkerchiefs?"

"The last time I got your handkerchief dirty in Houhai, I saved a dozen, but I didn't have a chance to give it to you."

The corner of Lin Mi's mouth curled into a slight smile.

It turned out that he was such a person who didn't want to show his emotions.

He likes himself, otherwise he wouldn't remember the details of being with her so clearly.

So, in this complicated world, is she the only one in his life?

Zhang Xiaofa hesitated for a moment, then hugged her.

Lin Mi let him hug her tightly, feeling surprised and troubled in his heart.

She wanted to wrap her arms around his waist, but she didn't have the courage to lift her hands up.

There were thousands of words in my heart to say to him, but when the words came to my lips, I fled back like a frightened little fish.

Zhang Xiaofa was anxiously waiting for her response.

This night was the first time in his life that he felt love up close.

He had never dared to admit that he fell in love with Lin Mi at first sight.

In fact, my concern for her has quietly fallen from the night I saw her for the first time.

He didn't expect that she would be his student. With the teacher-student relationship and the strict school regulations, he often didn't even have the courage to look at her for a moment.

In the early years of the Republic of China, it was difficult for the society to accept co-educational schools, let alone between male teachers and female students in girls' schools.A little closer contact may become overwhelming news in the newspapers.

He had already seen the blush on her cheeks and her slightly parted lips.

The most beautiful of Lin Mi's facial features is her soft pink lips.

Has an irresistible allure to the opposite sex.

She leaned against him with her eyes closed, her thick long eyelashes moving gently with the rhythm of her breath on her delicate face.

If it is a society 100 years later, he can lead her and walk and run freely on the beautiful campus like other young lovers.

When you are tired, you can lie on the lawn under the clear sky, flip through the books, listen to music, and enjoy the beauty of every day in love.

He quietly admired the person in his arms, when she suddenly opened her eyes,
"Mr. Zhang, I'm not going back tonight."

When Lin Mi spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation.

He also wanted to keep her, but he couldn't do it in school.

What's more, she is going to take an exam, let alone disturb her mind and affect her studies.

He rebraided her long hair and tied it into a pretty bow with a headband.

He carried her to the bicycle, untied his raincoat, and wrapped her tightly, only showing his delicate face.

"Mi'er, go back and read your books. When the weather is fine after the exam, I'll take you to the countryside for a walk."

She heard him change his address on his own initiative and started calling her by her nickname like a family member.

"I really want to not be your student or your teacher when there are only two of us."

"You can call yourself whatever you like, even a nickname. You are the only one who has the right to do so."

After he said this, he understood what insincere words were.

It turns out that when you fall in love with someone, every detail of him will bear her mark.

Lin Mi heard his kindness, and finally had the courage to speak.

"Lin Yitang came in the evening and forced himself upstairs and stayed in my dormitory. I managed to escape and followed Mr. Cheng to find you."

Zhang Xiaofa was very happy with her in his arms, but when he heard that Lin Yitang broke into the girls' dormitory, he couldn't help feeling troubled.

As a man, he can understand Lin Yitang's feelings for Lin Mi, but the other party only cares about himself and doesn't care about other people's feelings in order to achieve his goal, which he cannot agree with.

Doesn't Lin Yitang consider the feelings of other girls?He ignored the school rules and disciplines. If he didn't leave all night, Yu Fen would not be able to go back to the dormitory to sleep, and other students' homework review would also be affected.

He couldn't sit idly by on this matter.

Because he is a teacher, he must protect everyone's interests.

"Mi'er, let's go find your cousin right now. He won't leave until he sees you, so Yu Fen and other classmates will be affected."

She nodded against him.

He carried her into the rain quickly, blending with the night scene.

Through the raincoat, she could feel the water dripping above her head, and the sound of water under the wheels was crisp.

She and he rode together in the rain, and the rain sprayed under the wheels.

　Rain flowers, ripples in my heart
