When the slender figure in the black windbreaker walked across the street, Xie Yi was huddling with a group of people under the bus stop, enduring the humid air.

When Shen Ye appeared, he was trying to get on the bus that he wanted to take. However, he was always gentle, refined and modest, he rolled up his sleeves and smashed through the crowd to fight his way out of the crowd. He couldn't do it anyway, so it was expected. He didn't even touch the car door, he was squeezed to the edge of the platform, he was accidentally bent on the elbow by a hulking buddy halfway, and even his glasses were crooked.

Xie Yi held up the umbrella with difficulty in the cold wind, took off his glasses with one hand and tried to wipe off the rainwater on them, and inadvertently raised his eyes, and the figure was vaguely reflected in his vision through the continuous drizzle and the continuous flow of vehicles.

At first he thought it was very familiar, he squinted his eyes for a moment, and when he realized who it was, Xie Yi almost jumped up in shock.

Shen Ye? !He is not staying at home, what is he doing wandering around in the rain? !

Xie Yi immediately wanted to run over, but the traffic light turned green just like a prank, the stopwatch slowly started counting down from 60 seconds, and the traffic flow was rushing forward like a flood.

Trapped here, anxious and helpless, he had to keep a close eye on Shen Ye's movements, lest he would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Shen Ye didn't hold an umbrella, and he was dressed in black, which looked particularly abrupt in the crowd of people who opened umbrellas of various colors. He walked past a row of shop windows on the street at a neither fast nor slow speed, and went straight forward without stopping a step.

Xie Yi couldn't guess where he was going. Seeing that Shen Ye was about to reach the corner at the end of the street, he didn't care about any traffic regulations, and took advantage of the lack of traffic, he raised his legs and ran to the opposite street, sharpening the coordinator. The whistle and scolding are far behind.

Fortunately, he hadn't neglected to exercise during these years of teaching, and when he turned the corner five meters away, Xie Yi caught up with him in a few steps and grabbed Shen Ye's arm.

The clothes have been soaked by rain, wet and cold.

Shen Ye waved him away, the strength was far beyond Xie Yi's expectation, he took two steps back before stopping, Xie Yi watched him turn around in shock.

The rain was getting denser and thicker, Shen Ye stood silently close to him, his expression was connected with the dark rain covering the whole world and it was difficult to see clearly, his black clothes seemed to melt into the night.

The street lamp was turned on slowly, and the dim light illuminated his side face hazyly, the raindrops on the long eyelashes gleamed faintly, and the eyes were shrouded in deeper shadows, dark and deep, like an autumn night Gray mist soaked in.

Shen Ye stared at Xie Yi coldly, his eyes were blank and resisting, it was actually very strange.

Xie Yi was so horrified that he forgot to open his umbrella, and the two stood face to face in the cold rain.

A gust of cold wind blew across the long street, Xie Yi shivered from the cold, and then he came back to his senses and called him: "A Ye?"

Shen Ye was startled, and frowned in confusion. He lowered his eyelashes and raised his hand to press the center of his brow. After a long time, he finally raised his eyes to look at him. His eyes gradually warmed up, and his expression was no longer dull and cold. human vitality.

"Xie Yi, why are you here?"

Shen Ye walked up to him, took the umbrella from his hand, and opened it above their heads.

His attitude was so natural that he couldn't fault it, as if they really met on the street, but it was obviously not the case.

Xie Yi was stunned for a few seconds before he could react, his throat twitched a few times, and finally he forced a smile: "I was waiting for the bus, and I happened to see you, so I came over."

Shen Ye looked him up and down, frowned, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, and said angrily, "Your head and face are covered with water, why don't you carry an umbrella?"

Xie Yi was dealing with this situation for the first time, his head was almost short-circuited, and he could only react instinctively. Shen Ye handed him a handkerchief, and he took it blankly and wiped it on his face. The skin on his skin was so cold that he shivered again, and then he finally remembered that Shen Ye walked in the rain for a long time without an umbrella.

Shen Ye didn't seem to feel the cold at all, his fingers holding the umbrella handle were steady, and his standing posture was also straight, but his face was pale and blue, and his lips were slightly purple.

Xie Yi quickly took off his coat, and regardless of Shen Ye's objection, he forced it to cover his shoulders, grabbed his wrist with one hand and rushed forward: "A Ye, you see that you are all wet, let's take a taxi back."

They were not bad luck, as soon as they arrived at the taxi pick-up point, an empty car pulled over. The two of them went home in silence. Xie Yi took the lead in pushing Shen Ye into the bathroom, and told him to take a hot bath to remove the air conditioner, and change it by himself. Get wet clothes, grab a towel to dry your hair, and then go to the kitchen to cook rice dumplings.

Both of them were caught in the rain, and there was a cloud of cold air in their stomachs. They always wanted something warm to drink. Xie Yi was good in everything, but no matter how he practiced his cooking skills, it would be a disaster. The only thing he couldn't cook Bioweapon stuff.

Everything is ready-made, and the materials are simple. A bowl of rice wine is divided into half water, and when the water boils, put in pearl-sized glutinous rice balls, and it will be ready in a quarter of an hour.

Xie Yi watched the white grains in the pot sink and float with the boiling water, and forgot to turn on the range hood. The hot water vapor filled the small space in the kitchen, and he was oblivious to it. The light from the ceiling lamp was refracted several times by the tiny water droplets walking in the air, and it was also a vast expanse of whiteness.

Countless thoughts rolled in his mind like water, like a tangled mess, and he couldn't get a clue.

Every word Hitomi said played back repeatedly in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of Shen Ye standing in the cold rain with indifferent eyes, and then remembered that they first met on a similar rainy night.

It was the beginning of March, and the project that Xie Yi and Ye Hai took over was coming to an end. On the last day, the two of them spent all their sleep and food in the Yanjia Room to finish the finishing work, and it was almost midnight.

In the early spring weather in the north, the freezing rain fell day and night, and the air was so damp that there was water in the air. He and Ye Hai were over excited to complete the task, and they joked with each other while walking outside. Only then did I realize that the keys and raincoat had been left in the room.

Ye Hai lived in the dormitory of the school’s teaching staff, and he had to change his clothes when he ran back in the rain. Xie Yi was a bit miserable. The apartment he rented was 10 minutes’ drive from the school. Come.Ye Hai dug for a long time from the messy dog ​​house, but he didn't find the rain gear, so he brought Xie Yi a plastic tablecloth, transparent, thin layer, the most common kind in restaurants.

Xie Yi looked at the plastic tablecloth with a hole the size of his face cut out, and smiled at Ye Hai with a gentle smile: Ha ha.

Ye Hai put the tablecloth over his head, his stomach was rolling with laughter, and he said carefully that chatting is better than nothing, chatting is better than nothing.

Xie Yi immediately wanted to smear the tablecloth all over his face, but in the end he succumbed to the tyranny of the freezing rain, and rode away on a bicycle with the tablecloth on.

There were few pedestrians on the road, Xie Yi's journey was relatively calm, the rain splashed on his face in the wind, his eyes were stinging from the rain, and his vision was blurred. He carefully controlled the speed of the car, took a shortcut and turned into the road between two residential buildings. An alley, the front wheels turned into the entrance of the alley, a black figure was about to approach his car, Xie Yi was shocked and rushed to remedy, a gust of wind passing through the alley violently blew the tablecloth over and covered him tightly , His sight was ruined, the faucet of the car turned sideways, and the person fell to the ground firmly, and he even threw the person and his bicycle into the street.

Xie Yi's heart beat wildly like a drum, he was so frightened that he didn't feel pain when he fell, he tore off the plastic tablecloth wrapped around his body two or three times, he got up covered in mud, and hurried over to check on the person he knocked down.

It was a young man, with slender white fingers propping up the wet and dirty ground, trying to use his strength to stand up, Xie Yi repeatedly apologized, and leaned down to help him full of guilt, the man shook his head to indicate that there was no need, Xie Yi stood beside him in embarrassment, looking at him It took me a few moments to get up.

The man stood up and ignored him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sewage on his hands and coat, then rolled up the handkerchief and held it in his hand, and walked forward on his own, his steps were very slow, and he was staggering .

Xie Yi was terrified thinking that he must have hurt someone after he finished, he ran back to help the bicycle, followed the man closely, and cautiously suggested to go to the hospital.

The man whispered that it was nothing, let him go quickly, the voice was deep and mellow, like an undercurrent under the ice layer gurgling through the ears, quiet, clean, and cold, it was really amazing.Xie Yi couldn't help but look at him more.

There was no light in the alley, only a faint light leaked in from the head and tail, the man's eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly, Xie Yi could only see that his face and hands were all white, which was even more eye-catching in the night.

He walked slowly, probably injured, the more he didn't care, the more guilty Xie Yi felt, persistently persuading him to go to the hospital, the two insisted on their own opinions, the man simply kept silent and let Xie Yi make noise.

Walking out of the alley and walking under the street lamp, the man suddenly glanced at him, and then stopped in a daze.

Xie Yi was also dumbfounded, he was frightened, this bump didn't matter and he bumped into someone he knew, Shen Ye, a star professor in the Chemistry Department of University A.When he was a graduate student, he also took the elective courses taught by the other party, but was unfortunately kicked out of the ranking system because of the overwhelming number of people.

Shen Ye looked at him motionless, Xie Yi didn't dare to move, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, he comforted himself that Professor Shen Da must not know such a small teaching assistant as himself.

Street lamps cast shadows on Shen Ye's face. His eyes were like ancient wells without light, so dark that it was frightening. His eyelashes filtered a little bit of light, which reflected into his pupils. Fragments of light floated like they were sinking in water. Something underneath was struggling to surge upwards, and when it reached the surface of the water, it was suppressed.

Shen Ye stared at him with such delicate eyes for a long while, his lips moved, as if he was hesitant to speak, and finally he smiled, and the brilliance in his eyes disappeared.

"Xie Yi," he said, "You are Xie Yi."

The soup spilled over the side of the pot with a "pop", and forcibly pulled Xie Yi out of his memory. He grabbed the handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the water that flowed onto the stove. More boiling liquid gushed out and splashed on the back of his hand. Get up and turn off the fire.

The back of his hand was hot red, Xie Yi unscrewed the water pipe of the sink, letting the cold water flow continuously through the back of his hand.

When Shen Ye called out his name at that time, he was overly frightened and then overjoyed, and now thinking about it, he realized that it was weird.

He has only been a teaching assistant for a short time, and it is a different college, how could Shen Ye recognize him at a glance and call him by his name accurately?

The confusion in Xie Yi's heart didn't decrease but increased, and an indescribable bitterness was stirred in.

Perhaps, even their first acquaintance was not as simple and accidental as I imagined.
