Star-Crossed Lovers: The Ex-Convict and the White Rabbit - Chapter 12

At the station, someone fled when they pulled their legs.

The rain was getting more and more lingering, and a soft veil was woven between heaven and earth.

Lu Qiang got out of the car without hurrying and put his hands in his pockets, looking at her back. This is a light industrial zone built in Zhangchuan City in recent years. There are no residents nearby, and they are all rows of gray factories. In front is a garment factory. Outside the sturdy board room is a wide yard. Some people come in and out. The words “Duhua Garment” are written above the iron gate.

The bus station was less than 100 meters away from the factory, and when there were 40 meters left, someone called Lu Yin.

She stopped with a dark head, and a large black umbrella covered her.

Lu Yin turned his head: “…good morning.”

“Early,” Chen Rui asked, “Did you bring an umbrella?”

Lu Yin turned his head and took the opportunity to look backwards with Yu Guang. The man actually got out of the car and stood on the steps, looking in this direction. She pursed her lips and didn’t look back.

“Lu Yin?”

“Huh?” She reacted and looked back at Chen Rui. “What did you say?”

“I said, it’s raining today, why didn’t you bring an umbrella?”

She didn’t listen in half a sentence, and she couldn’t help distracting herself. The endless streets, the hustle and bustle slipped through the middle; the drizzle was like weaving, and the soft mist was raised. The man was motionless, like a statue without temperature.

“Hey!”

Lu Yin was shocked and stroked his hair: “Sorry, I didn’t…”

Chen Rui smiled and did not repeat: “It doesn’t matter.”

The two walked into the yard, and Lu Yin pushed the umbrella handle a little further: “No, it’s wet anyway. Hold it yourself.”

Chen Rui slanted this way again: “I am afraid of a big man, don’t catch a cold.”

Lu Yin smiled politely and alienated, and didn’t speak again.

Lu Qiang narrowed his eyes and watched the two men shoving into the yard.

The man is half a head taller than her, neat and thin, well-dressed and elegant. The black umbrella leaned to the right. He had a large wet left shoulder.

The woman’s birdie leaned on her shoulders and shrank her shoulders, so she was close to the whole person.

Lu Qiang lowered his teeth and looked down at himself.

The man’s blue shirt, black trousers, and leather shoes were brand new and shiny washed by rain.

He was wearing an old undershirt, wide-leg pants, and his shoes were raining and ragged.

Lu Qiang looked back in that direction, and there was no figure of the two. From beginning to end, she didn’t look back at him.

Lu Qiang hummed: “Let’s talk.”

He avoided rain for a while on the platform. The rain was not too small. He smoked a cigarette and no longer had patience. He found a place to make a phone call.

Genzi asked, “Brother, where are you, I’ll pick you up.”

Lu Qiang looked around and yelled, “Who the **** knows what the **** is this place.”

…

It has been half an hour since Genzi found this place, and Lu Qiang was squatting down the road and smoking. Behind is a dilapidated grocery store, with waste paper shells piled under the window sill; throwing a fast-spreading bicycle next to it, the rusty spots can no longer ride; the water dripping from the eaves hits the road surface, and there are many splashes of water.

He hung his arms on his knees, snorting and wondering what to think. Squinting one eye and gently spit it out, the smoke rose faintly in the wet world.

He seemed to melt into this run-down rainy day.

Genzi sounded the horn twice.

Lu Qiang didn’t move. He just pulled his eyes back and saw that it was rooted. He took a bite and threw the cigarette **** into the puddle.

He got into the car and put his neck around. Although there was a tile covering his head, his shoulder was still wet.

Genzi handed over a towel, he didn’t want to, just used it to wipe his hair.

“Brother,” Genzi looked sideways: “Where are we going?”

Lu Qiang said: “Consumption.”

His eyes lit up and he was busy pulling out his mobile phone: “Wait a moment, I will call Li Qing and let her wait for me.”

Lu Qiang glanced at him: “What’s wrong with it during the day?”

“…Aren’t we going to be a girl?”

Lu Qiang laughed: “Bubble your uncle.”

Genzi was very disappointed, the phone was connected, he directly pressed.

Lu Qiang said: “Where is there a shopping mall near here, buy a mobile phone.”

Genzi remembered this, “It’s good.” He changed the car as soon as he hit the steering wheel.

The nearest shopping mall will take about ten minutes. The rain will be lighter, and it will fall. The rainy season has not passed yet. I don’t know how long this wet weather will last.

Lu Qiang slit the window, and the cool breeze mixed with the rain.

Genzi gossip: “Brother, how did you run here in the morning?”

Lu Qiang said: “I got in the wrong car.”

“Then where were you going?”

“Come back home.”

Genzi wondered: “Don’t you just live across the plot, you still have to take a car?”

Lu Qiang Liangliang glanced at him, and shut up.

They walked around the mall and found the brand counter. After the salesperson gave a brief introduction, they didn’t understand much and bought it directly.

Lu Qiang’s rough fingers touched it a few times, somehow.

Genzi smiled aside.

He swept him: “What’s laughing?”

Genzi said: “Brother, this phone is not like yours.”

Lu Qiang looked at him.

He said, “You are dressed like a steal.”

“Fuck…” Lu Qiang raised his arm and pulled back.

Lu Qiang flicked the jacket corner, unnaturally remembering the man just now: blue shirt, black trousers, a black umbrella all over Lu Yin’s head, gentleman and thoughtful.

He was terrified, and he naturally didn’t have a good complexion, so he took his phone and went forward.

Genzi trot to keep up in two steps: “Where do you go next?”

Lu Qiang glanced around and said, “Turn upstairs.”

***

Lu Yin was absent-minded at work in the morning and recorded the data of the sample twice wrong. She was almost brought to the top by a colleague if she was reminded.

At lunch, she and her colleague’s table, a few people gathered together and chatted a few words, she was not in a mood, just dumb to eat. As soon as he ate half, Chen Rui walked in from outside and stood at the door for a long time. His eyes lit up and he went directly in this direction.

Opposite Lu Yin was empty, he sat down with a thorn, greeted several people, and looked away.

He said: “I let the master boil some **** tea, you drenched the rain, took a few sips and went to the cold.”

The two female colleagues next to each other glanced at each other, silently.

Lu Yin was still absent, looked up, and there was a mug in front of him.

She reacted for a few seconds, quickly glanced at her side, and pushed back: “No, thank you, drink it yourself.”

Chen Rui said: “Don’t succeed, if you have a cold, it’s too late to drink.” Then, unscrewing the lid, a smell of **** flew out, and the mouth of the cup was still hot.

Lu Yin frowned, and it was not good to continue to push. She got up and went to the window to get four empty glasses and placed them in front of her colleagues.

He didn’t have time to stop it. She divided the cup of **** tea into four parts and joked: “Chen Rui is quite caring and thoughtful for our female colleagues.”

Chen Rui thought about it, guessed her scruples, and then said, “Drink some, your girls are just too weak.”

Colleagues glanced at each other again and hummed.

In a small episode, Lu Yin didn’t eat well and only used a few chopsticks. She excused herself and went back to the office first.

Work in the afternoon is still scattered. The rain outside has not stopped. After get off work, the rain is extremely thin and becomes a light mist.

Chen Rui’s soul was still there, waiting for her at the door.

Lu Yin was upset for no reason and bowed his head, pretending not to see.

Chen Rui followed a few steps and went down the steps to hold up the umbrella: “You can use this, my house is close, and you will be there in a moment.”

“No, the rain is not much.” Lu Yin’s tone was stiff, and he had made the refusal very obvious.

A colleague came and greeted with a smile.

Chen Rui withdrew his hand in embarrassment and said, “Do you… have time at night? If you’re fine, have a meal together?”

“There is time.” Lu Yin stopped and made it clear: “But you can’t go out with you, alone or widow, what do you want others to think?”

Chen Rui said: “Why care about other people’s ideas? I don’t have a girlfriend, and you…”

Lu Yin interrupted and said: “If I care about someone, others are really others, and I will not consider their ideas,” she paused. “But now, I don’t have anyone in my heart to care about.”

Chen Rui’s eyes darkened, and he wanted to fight: “I want to…”

Lu Yin smiled: “No matter what you think, Chen Rui, I don’t have any thoughts now, and I don’t want to be someone else’s talk, I’m so sorry for your kindness.”

She didn’t give him a chance to speak. A taxi came by the roadside. Lu Yin waved her hand. The car stopped and she quickly opened the door.

In the car, she called Ye Fan and asked her to come out and sit down. There she said that the company had recruited new graduate students and was busy training. There was no time and she hung up after just a few words. Lu Yin didn’t want to go back, ate at the nearby mall, and went to a few shops downstairs, tried two clothes, and didn’t feel much like it. I lingered for an hour. When I came out, the music fountain in the square was already open. Some children were playing by the water, and some couples were holding mobile phones to take pictures.

The rain washed the city clear and transparent, and the marble floor covered a lot of water, reflecting the colorful night. The wind was so cool that Lu Yin found a dry chair and sat silly for a while. At nine thirty, there was really nowhere to go before she walked slowly back.

Lu Yin leaned on tonight, came out in the morning and wore high-heeled shoes. She was slippery on a rainy day. She was very careful when walking, her feet were strenuous, and her ankles were already red.

The road took twenty minutes. After walking around the corner, she quickly looked up. Because of the weather, there was no one at the busiest doorway in the past. The humble guardhouse was closed and lifeless.

Lu Yinsong took a breath, and couldn’t help laughing at himself. This night was purely tossing. Others teased her, and they were just as stupid as they really were. This way of thinking, I was a little angry, and what was the mood in the end? I don’t understand.

The full bow was broken, and she felt tired. She speeded up and walked home. Through the small door, there was a squeak on the side, too late to respond, and a force dragged her into the sentry box.

Stumbled all the way, Lu Yin was dizzy, and when the brain resumed thinking, it had been pressed against the wooden door. The room was dark, moonlight penetrated through the gap between the curtains, the windows and doors were tightly closed, and the surrounding air was thin and humid.

Her palm pressed against her hard chest, and she couldn’t push it.

Lu Yinqing took two hard shots, like hitting a stone: “You go away.”

“This is my place, where is it going?” He whispered softly, with a smile on his waist, and rubbed it maliciously. This behavior is more arrogant than in the morning, pierced through the window paper, and the gusty wind will blow into it unscrupulously, and there is no need to cover up and be merciless.

Lu Yin panted: “Then let me go.”

“You can’t go either.”

Lu Yin was startled, “…crazy.” She twisted hard in the crack.

There was a certain part of the part in front of him that was soft and abnormal. Lu Qiang’s breath was slightly stagnation, and the fire burst into a sudden, and he couldn’t bear the heat. The breath just happened to blow around his neck, like a feather sweeping back and forth in the throat. Lu Qiang grabbed her beating wrist and fixed it on the door panel: “Don’t move.”

His voice was suddenly dull, and the three words were close to scolding, and Lu Yin was bluffed by him, so he dared not move.

Lu Qiang eased his breath and let his body go away a little.

Asked in a low voice: “Will you come back so late?”

Lu Yin bit her lip and didn’t answer.

Lu Qiang asked: “What about your mobile phone?”

Lu Yin raised her head in the dark, and the shimmering light from the window shone into her eyes.

Lu Qiang explained: “I bought my new phone today, give me your number, and I will deposit it.”

“No need,” Lu Yin said. “We are not familiar at all.”

He glanced down at his close body and smiled: “Aren’t you familiar?”

Lu Yin bit her lip.

“give or not?”

“No.”

Lu Qiang was too much to measure, “Then I will find it myself.” As he said, his hand had gone down first, and she clasped her hips.

Lu Yin was excited, stood on her feet, and twisted again. He alternated his two hands, she dodges from left to right, she stops in her mouth, and she has cried.

Lu Yin trembled: “I give, I give, don’t turn it over, the phone is not on you.”

Lu Qiangyi never took back her hand, she reported the number, he stumbled into the phone, dialed it, and refused to stop when she heard the ringtone.

In order to distract him, Lu Yin took a step to the right, trying to escape his control, but it would be a man’s opponent, and was captured by Lu Qiang.

He said, “I haven’t finished asking.”

“What else do you want?”

Lu Qiang was silent for a moment, “Did you think about what I said this morning?” When he spoke again, without the frivolousness before, he looked too solemn in every word and stared at her in the dark, waiting for her to answer. .

Lu Yin was unhappy: “No.”

Knowing that she was annoyed, Lu Qiang did not force her: “Don’t worry, the big things in your life must always be seriously considered.”

“You…” Lu Yinsaisai, holding back for a long time, somehow refuted him. At that time, facing Chen Rui, his thoughts were calm and he was neat, and he made the matter clear in a few words. At this time, he was dumb, and he spit out three words: “… shameless.”

Lu Qiang smiled: “No kidding.”

“I’m not kidding.”

“I’m serious.”

“True and false…”

Lu Qiang pressed her lips with her thumb: “Don’t rush to answer, think about it, or you want to contact and understand first. We live close, and it is also convenient to promote the exchange of feelings.”

After he finished speaking, he stepped back and left the space for her. The door was behind Lu Yin, and when he walked away, she held the door handle in her backhand and finally shouted before leaving: “We have no drama.”

These words have no deterrent effect, but it seems like a quarrel between couples, Lu Yin regrets to bite his tongue. After struggling a few steps, Xiao Gao and ‘Da Da’ stepped on the concrete road, and her heartbeat still couldn’t calm down. Recalling the dialogue just now, none of them was decisive and decisive.

Thinking of Chen Rui again, calm down and found the difference between the two.

Chen Rui is a man, and he is a beast that eats people and does not spit bones.

***

It is easy to adjust the good sleep, and it fails again.

Lu Yin lay on the bed, repeatedly, his ear kept echoing his words.

——”Guess I thought I didn’t miss you.”

…

——”It’s you who dreamed at night.”
