Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Excuse me, have you seen the boy in the photo?"

The thick fog dissipated, and along with the block, a petite silver-haired lady wearing a top hat and carrying an exquisite suitcase emerged.

The dark blue suit was well-tailored, giving her an elegance that was on par with that of an upper-class person, while also not affecting her adorable temperament that only belonged to a fourteen-year-old child.

The bun tied at the side of the ear was messy and seemed to be about to fall apart, as if reflecting the somewhat impatient mood of its owner.

"Well, I haven't seen it."

Along with the words, a somewhat blurry photo was also pushed back.

The man in the photo has white hair, blue eyes, and a black highlight on his forehead, which makes him very eye-catching.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, sorry for bothering me."

Verdin put the photograph back in his pocket and placed it carefully inside the lining of his suit.

Afraid that this only thing that could remind him of him would be damaged.

……

"Investigator Leah, I acknowledge your contributions to the Foundation. The Foundation will certainly provide you with appropriate compensation and rewards. However, this matter is truly unacceptable."

The receptionist at the office looked at the fierce-looking investigator in front of her with a headache.

Who would have thought that this little guy who could sit in an adult chair and swing his legs back and forth would be one of the Foundation's new batch of best investigators.

Since Chen Xi entrusted her to the foundation three years ago, Leah has shown everyone her outstanding talent in mysticism and extraordinary skills.

He completed all the required courses in the first year, and while his peers were still worrying about exams and homework, he signed up to become a rainstorm investigator, one of the most dangerous positions in the foundation.

Then, in less than half a year, he successfully completed one task after another, demonstrating his strength to everyone.

Her childish appearance is the best disguise. The cute and petite girl often just stands there and says a few sweet words, and some people will pour out everything she wants as if she has no control over her mouth.

Then, after writing down everything he needed, he suddenly became ruthless, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it cleanly into the opponent's throat.

When the blood stopped gushing out of the unlucky guy's throat, her expression turned ice-cold in an instant.

He held the blood-stained blade, wiped it casually, wiped off the still-warm blood and threw it into an unknown corner, then inserted it back to where it should be.

If she were not so young, she would definitely be given the title of "Ice Beauty".

"Not enough, still not enough..."

"Also, there are many situations that could put me in danger."

"I still have to keep working hard..."

"Wait until the day I can stand on my own. Brother Chenxi, just wait! Liya will definitely find you through her own efforts!

After rescuing me from that hell, he just disappeared from my world. How could he be so cunning?

Wait for me, Brother Chenxi, soon, Liya will find you and will never be separated from you."

……

Then today, she unexpectedly saw a figure in the foundation that made her extremely excited, a figure that looked very similar to Sister Anya!

"I just want to work with Miss Si Chen in the future. Is this something that difficult to do?"

He slapped the table, shaking some of the tea in the receptionist's hand.

The clear tea beads fell on the document in front of her, slowly blurring out a few lines of handwriting.

Even so, the receptionist showed no signs of anger. After all, many people had seen Leah walking through the foundation's gate, covered in blood.

The oppressive feeling that was totally not suitable for someone of this age made it impossible for anyone to look down on her simply because of her appearance.

"Ms. Si Chen's job is very special, and she has always been carrying out her own unique tasks alone.

Most of these missions are extremely dangerous. If an accident occurs, it will be a huge loss for both you and the entire foundation.

and……"

Before she could finish her words, Leah had already taken out the dagger and slammed it on the table.

"You are not allowed to mention his name!"

The discussion seemed to have fallen into a dead silence at this point, but the receptionist seemed to have gained an inexplicable confidence. She ignored Leah, who was emitting a terrifying aura, and continued:

“That gentleman has close ties with the Hand of Reshaping, there is no doubt about that.

You know clearly how many of the missions that Investigator Leah has undertaken over the years are related to this organization.

And I believe there is no need for me to remind you what they have done.

Therefore, before we investigate that gentleman, the Foundation will definitely not rashly allow you to act together with Miss Si Chen."

Leah impatiently pushed the dagger out a little and then retracted it. Her expression was definitely not good. It was as if after a fierce ideological struggle, she finally chose to surrender.

"Then let's arrange a simple meeting. That's not too much to ask, is it? I promise I won't dwell on this issue again and will continue to serve the Foundation well.

May peace be with us.”

"May peace be with us, Your Excellency Leah. We will consider this proposal and give you a response as soon as possible."

Then, such a meeting took place as scheduled.

At this meeting where only Leah and Verdin were present, Leah gave Verdin her most precious treasure - a photo of Chen Xi.

She had obtained it during the dreamlike time after being rescued, and it was a treasure more important to her than her life.

"Please, Miss Si Chen. I've heard some gossip that you seem to have a certain relationship with Chen Xi...

Si Chen is not restricted by the Foundation's outbound management system and can enter and leave the Foundation relatively freely, so I can only leave the matter of finding Mr. Chen Xi to you!"

Lowering his head, the child who seemed to always have the same expression now showed a rare look of longing.

Although she was not familiar with Veldin and did not know what kind of person she was, she believed in Chen Xi.

Since Chen Xi said that, then ask this sister for help. At least she won’t refuse.

Everything else will be easy once the other party agrees.

And when Vertin got the photo, he stared at Chen Xi in the photo in a daze, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the smiling face in the photo.

"So, you also have this kind of expression, Mr. Chenxi."

Completely different from what I remembered, he was the cheerful and sunny Mr. Chen Xi.

Placing the photo in his palm, Verdin took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then said:

"Thank you, Leah. I'll try to find him."

Finally, finally there is some clue... In the two years since becoming Si Chen, Verdin has spent almost every day in solitude.

No matter how close the friends are, under the heavy rain, I am still powerless to save them...

Every time at that moment, the words Chen Xi said during the rainstorm seemed to resurface in my ears:

"We will meet again, and then I will be your companion who will never leave you."

……

"As expected, it still doesn't work."

Having found nothing, Vertin was a little discouraged. From the day he got the photo, Vertin began to ask people who might know.

However, even though I have traveled to so many places, what I have gained can never exceed the three words: "I don't know".

Could it be that... Chen Xi also melted in a rainstorm?

The moment this thought came to mind, it was cut off by Virtin, who told himself over and over again that it was impossible, impossible.

But the seeds of doubt have been planted, and no matter how hard you try to pinch them off, the sprouts will still grow again.

However, just after Weldin was disappointed again and again, unexpected news finally came out!
