Qian Xiaosheng was a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, his cheeks.
"Um... no need to thank me, we're classmates."
"If you ever run into trouble again, you can come to me anytime. I'll be there for you!"
Jiangzhu nodded gently.
After saying goodbye to each other, Jiangzhu did not return to her dormitory.
She looked up at the sky; it was covered with dark clouds, and the air was somewhat muggy, clearly a sign of an impending downpour.
"In this weather... he probably won't come out, right?"
She muttered to herself, but her steps seemed to have a mind of their own, and she continued walking towards the familiar Xia Chun Square.
When we arrived at the square, the familiar grassy area was completely empty.
There was no one there who gave her peace of mind.
A great sense of loss welled up in Jiangzhu's heart, but she did not leave.
She sat on the grass, hugging her knees, lost in thought.
At this moment, the sky was not only overcast, but a fine drizzle also began to fall.
The raindrops hit her face, feeling cool and refreshing.
But Jiangzhu neither dodged nor moved, she just sat there.
Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai smiled; he had seen through everything.
"Tsk tsk tsk, did you see that?"
He pointed to the sky and began sharing his experience with Oscar and the others beside him.
"Girls are most vulnerable at times like this!"
"When you need a connection, that person isn't there."
"This is called an emotional void, when it's the easiest time for someone to take advantage of you!"
Oscar looked surprised, his eyes widening: "Really? Boss Dai?"
"nonsense!"
Dai Mubai nodded confidently and tossed his blond hair.
"A hundred days of companionship cannot compare to a single act of unexpected care!"
"At this point, as long as you swing the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig out!"
"Otherwise, do you think I used to play around with those girls... cough, how did I develop feelings for so many girls?"
Then, with the air of a prophet, he declared, "Just you wait and see!"
"Given this atmosphere, it's highly likely that he'll be poached by that guy named Qian Xiaosheng."
"That's just how it works!"
Everyone silently watched the sky.
The rain was getting heavier.
Jiangzhu was soaked to the bone, her hair plastered to her face, making her look rather pitiful.
Just then, a kind passerby called out, "Girl!"
"It's raining so hard, hurry home! Don't get soaked!"
Jiangzhu then came to her senses.
She slowly stood up, her eyes vacant as she glanced at the still empty spot.
The blurry man did not appear.
On Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai's smile grew wider and wider, and he couldn't help but reveal a wicked grin.
"Just wait, Qian Xiaosheng might show up."
In the picture.
Jiangzhu walked back dejectedly, rain streaming down her face, indistinguishable between rain and tears.
Just then, a familiar and gentle voice pierced through the rain and rang in her ears.
Aren't you going to wait for me?
Jiangzhu trembled and abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Before she could turn around, she felt the rain stop overhead.
An oil-paper umbrella stood firmly above her, protecting her from the cold rain.
Jiangzhu raised her head somewhat blankly, and only then did the onlookers see her clearly.
It turned out that the girl's eyes were already red from crying, but she had been keeping her head down and forcing herself not to cry out.
Now, we see the blurry man in this moment.
Her stubborn persistence finally broke down.
"Waaah..."
Jiangzhu could no longer hold back; all her grievances, pressure, and confusion erupted at that moment.
She threw herself into the arms of the blurry man, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, and burst into tears.
The blurry figure held an umbrella in one hand and gently ruffled her wet hair with the other.
A gentle warmth spread throughout Jiangzhu's body, and her wet clothes dried instantly.
He reassured her apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I had to take care of some things just now, which caused a slight delay."
This scene depicts a beautiful woman in his arms, holding an umbrella in the rain.
There is a kind of warmth and security that makes one's heart flutter.
However, the scene did not stop there!
The scene shifts to another street.
Mu Xiaoyan was also soaked in the rain.
"Damn it! That stupid woman! I just can't stand her!"
"How dare they play tricks on me! I'm so angry!"
She was furious, her delicate shoes stomping in the puddles as she muttered curses.
Clearly, something had just happened, and he was in a very bad mood.
Then, the scene shifts again.
It offers a heartbreaking perspective.
Under a large tree in the rain.
The once spirited Qian Xiaosheng now stood there, his umbrella fallen to the ground, looking like a drowned rat.
In her other hand, she was also protecting a beautifully packaged box of cookies.
He stood there in the rain, utterly astonished, his eyes wide open.
Looking into the distance, under the oil-paper umbrella, Jiangzhu was tightly embracing the blurry man and weeping.
He couldn't hear what they were saying.
But he could see Jiangzhu's completely dependent attitude and the closeness she showed him that she had never shown before.
"Clatter..."
That was the sound of a cookie tin falling into the rain.
The screen gradually darkened.
Everyone who witnessed this scene, regardless of gender, shared a common feeling at that moment.
It was as if I heard a "crack" sound, the crisp sound of a pure young man's first love shattering.
That's terrible.
Poseidon Island.
After witnessing this scene, a faint sadness appeared in Poseidon's calm eyes, which seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life.
She remembered the man who had once said he would not return unless he became a god.
"It's so good to be young..."
She guarded Poseidon Island for a hundred years, even after reaching the pinnacle of her power.
But I've never experienced the youthful scene of waiting foolishly in the rain for someone, only to finally fall into their arms.
One's youth is also an irreparable regret in life.
Spirit Hall.
The Papal Palace was deathly silent.
Bibi Dong appears expressionless, noble, and aloof.
In truth, she was already filled with bitterness.
How could she not understand?
She understood all too well the feeling of youth—the joy of meeting someone only to find them with someone else in their arms.
"Unrequited love..."
Bibi Dong sneered inwardly, unsure whether she was laughing at her past self or at Qian Xiaosheng in the rain.
Spirit Hall Training Ground.
The people who were discussing the matter fell silent.
Hu Liena and the other six pairs of eyes all turned to look at Qian Xiaosheng, who was standing there.
Everyone's eyes were complex, filled with sympathy, a desire to laugh but not daring to, and a hint of pity.
"Xiaosheng..."
As the captain, Xie Yue opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but found that nothing he said would be appropriate.
"I didn't expect you to have a role in this backdrop!"
"But... isn't this play a bit too tragic?"
Other teammates chimed in to comfort you, saying, "That's right, unrequited love is something you're meant to miss out on. We're not refusing to comfort you."
Yan, standing to the side, laughed rather unkindly: "Youth is never without regrets. I really feel sorry for you, hahaha!"
They're embracing each other in the rain, and you're standing next to them getting soaked while delivering cookies?
Qian Xiaosheng himself, however, was surprisingly calm at this moment.
Several years have passed, and he is no longer the naive boy he once was.
He simply stared quietly at his reflection in the sky, at that lost and dejected face.
But after hearing what his teammates said, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"You were very good at comforting me, but don't do it next time."
Shrek Academy.
Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to him, suppressed a laugh: "Boss Dai... this script seems different from what you said?"
"Cough cough... An accident."
