"Can you see me?"

The man was shocked, but when he met Shen Yu's gaze as if he was looking at a fool, he suddenly burst into laughter.

In Shen Yu's eyes, the man was originally gray, wearing black and white clothes, standing by the lake like a silent statue. With this smile, his face suddenly became colorful, and the light was even a little dazzling.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and took two steps back.

Even if he is good-looking, there is a possibility that he is crazy.

"That's right... No wonder you can see me."

The man muttered something again. Shen Yu looked at him warily, then turned around and walked away quickly with his schoolbag on his back.

Although he didn't have long to live, he didn't want to die at the hands of a madman.

The man did not try to keep Shen Yu. He just watched his back disappear around the corner. Then he looked back at the lake.

"My time is running out..."

-

The encounter with the man was just a small episode. The path Shen Yu found was very remote and narrow. Moreover, there was a fence around it. No one would go there on weekdays. Shen Yu also had a rare quiet time.

However, this was only Shen Yu's one-sided thought. The next day, he crossed the guardrail again and came to the path, and saw the man on the shabby bench again.

The man was still wearing the same clothes, but this time, Shen Yu didn't need to get close to know it was him, because in Shen Yu's eyes, the man looked gray.

After hesitating for a few seconds about the possibility that the man would suddenly jump up and throw him into the lake, Shen Yu still walked over without saying hello to the man, just like the various passers-by on the street, with no intersection of ideas.

A child who will be blind within five years and a man who came from nowhere but looks rich will not have any intersection.

The man didn't look at Shen Yu either, but just kept staring at the lake.

One day, two days, three days——

Whether going to school or coming home from school, Shen Yu would see this man staying by the lake on time.

Don't men need to work?

Shen Yu is precocious. Both his temperament and clothing show that the man is either rich or noble, so what's so good about staring at the lake every day?

Doesn't he have to go home?

But this question has always been in his mind. Ever since they first met and had a few words of conversation, the two would not exchange glances even when they met, as if they were in two different worlds.

The rain, densely woven into the veins of the sky, was already very late, and the lights were spreading out layers of soft halos in the rain. Shen Yu met the man again by the lake by chance.

The man still sat on the bench, as if that was his real home, no matter what the weather was.

But Shen Yu had to admit that the secret route he found did have beautiful scenery.

What a strange person.

After mumbling a few impolite words in his mind, Shen Yu walked faster than usual. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, soaking him from head to toe.

He originally brought an umbrella, but the gray umbrella had dozens of holes in it cut by Shen Zong with a knife, making it completely useless, so Shen Yu simply didn't take it.

It has been two months since school started, and Shen Zong has forgotten how painful it was when Shen Yu rode on him and beat him, and he does some small actions overtly and covertly.

In addition to painting all the books black with ink, there were some childish tricks, including but not limited to putting bugs in the schoolbag, cutting up Shen Yu's shoes, smearing glue on the stool, and isolating him with the entire class of children.

Shen Yu was not angry about this. After all, he had done a lot of things, but no one had discovered them.

For example, they added flour and sugar to Shen Zong's nutritional powder and sprinkled water on his path when he got up in the middle of the night to make him fall.

But Shen Yu only has one umbrella.

Thinking about how he was going to beat Shen Zong up when he got home tonight, Shen Yu twisted his foot, half of his shoe sank into the mud, and his body fell uncontrollably towards the lake.

It rained all day today, the water level of the lake rose, and the ground nearby became soaked and turned into mud. It was easy to fall if you were not careful.

At the moment when he was about to fall into the lake, a thought flashed through Shen Yu's mind -

When I was four years old, I should have drowned that fat boy.

The next moment, Shen Yu felt his wrist being grabbed. He subconsciously wanted to resist, but the man was stronger than him and he could not resist at all.

The rain slid down the edge of the umbrella, forming a long and thin bead curtain that blocked most of the water vapor. Shen Yu showed a look of doubt on his face, watching the man appear in front of him at some point and pull him back to the shore.

"Don't take this path when it rains. It's dangerous."

As the man spoke, that pleasant voice once again uncontrollably drilled into Shen Yu's eardrums, and he felt as if there was a drum pounding in his head.

But Shen Yu didn't have time to think about these things now. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the bench a few dozen meters away.

When did the man approach him?

Didn't he notice?

Shen Yu wanted to say "thank you", but blurted out "it's none of your business".

Pulling his thin wrist out of the man's hand, Shen Yu walked away quickly without looking back. However, things did not go as he wished. Before he had taken a few steps, the rain became heavier, completely blurring Shen Yu's vision.

Just now he could have gotten home quickly thanks to his familiarity with the road, but now the heavy rain had destroyed the vision in Shen Yu's right eye, so he could only find a place to hide.

Shen Yu's physical condition has been getting worse over the years. Not to mention that he could still take the initiative after falling into the river when he was a child, now he has fallen into the freezing cold lake water, and in such bad weather, he is afraid that he will really die.

That man saved his life.

The only place to shelter from the rain was near the bench, where there was a rusty awning above it. Perhaps it was set up by a fisherman and forgotten to put it away.

Shen Yu stumbled to the bench and was finally no longer exposed to the rain. Feeling the mixture of rain and mud in his shoes, he changed his posture awkwardly.

He wasn't wearing much clothes, and now that it was raining and cold, he felt a chill.

The man also came with an umbrella and stopped beside Shen Yu.

This bench is actually only big enough for two people, and now that Shen Yu is sitting in the middle, there is no place for him.

The man didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Yu, as if to say that this was his place.

"What are you looking at? I was the first one to find this place, and your name isn't written on it."

Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Shen Yu was not a good person, but although he spoke viciously, he stood up and sat aside obediently, making room for the man. He then used his hand to wipe off the water stains left by himself on the chair, and then turned his head away.

The man tilted his head slightly to look at the chair surface which still had some water stains, then looked at Shen Yu's earlobe which had turned red at some point, and smiled rarely.

In Shen Yu's eyes, the man became colorful again and looked particularly handsome.
