Chapter 346 Those moments when heavy rain fell in the past
In Su Chengyi's memory, the last time such a heavy rain occurred was when he was in junior high school.
I vaguely remember that the scene was already on the verge of a minor disaster.
The sound of rain hitting the window lattice made him piece together a fragment of memory.
At that time, everyone thought it was just an ordinary heavy rain. Unexpectedly, the rain did not weaken as time went by, but intensified.
When the school announced the suspension of classes and went home to rest, Su Chengyi was writing the answer to "Today's Problem" on the school blackboard.
All the students were cheering, and the teacher’s scolding could no longer stop these little beanbags who were dedicated to their vacation.
Su Chengyi seemed to have not heard the announcement and just wrote down the calculation quietly.
The weather is rainy and humid, and the chalk tip is wet, making every stroke difficult.
He finished writing the last number and clapped his hands gently.
He and a familiar female classmate were the only ones left in the classroom. Su Chengyi turned a blind eye, picked up his schoolbag and left.
The female classmate hesitated for a long time, and finally asked him if he wanted to ride in the car together. She could ask the driver to take him back first.
Su Chengyi refused without thinking.
The rusty smell of the old railings and the damp muddy smell after the rain mixed and spread in the corridor. The footsteps of the two people going downstairs one after another echoed in the empty teaching building.
School regulations prohibit driving into the school, but the black Mercedes-Benz parked majestically at the entrance of the teaching building.
The man holding the black umbrella had already been waiting in front of the car with a respectful expression on his face.
Of course Su Chengyi, who was walking in front, knew that this scene had nothing to do with him. He turned around and took a step away.
"Hey! Su Chengyi, wait a minute!"
The ghost of the female classmate behind him was lingering, and she trotted to catch up.
Su Chengyi originally didn't want to stop, but at this time her elbow was already grabbed by her.
"It's raining so heavily. It's okay if you don't want to take the ride. You can always keep the umbrella, right?"
Hearing what she said, the man in suit waiting aside knowingly handed over the black umbrella.
Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at the black umbrella in front of him. It was obviously valuable. The handle was decorated with a delicate gold-plated lion's head.
Trouble, you have to pay it back.
“After you take the leave, you will still have to participate in the math competition. If you have a cold and ask for leave, I will have to take the time, and I don’t want to go.”
The female classmate turned away and muttered in a low voice.
The next second, Su Chengyi put his schoolbag on his head, turned around and plunged into the rain curtain.
“Hey!”
The shouts of the female classmates behind her were quickly cut off by the rain curtain.
Deep and shallow puddles have already accumulated on the tiled floor of the school square, and transparent water splashes follow his footsteps.
Su Chengyi stopped running after running out of the school gate.
Because running is just to get rid of the kind and enthusiastic female classmates.
Of course, Su Chengyi, now recalling the past, remembered that this "somewhat familiar female classmate" was actually Miss Chu.
With such heavy rain, unless he is The Flash or Quicksilver, he will be soaked in water.
So it doesn’t make any difference whether you run or not, it’s better to walk slowly.
Heavy rain, deserted streets, dim emergency lights in the distance.
Just like now, it feels like the end of the world.
Su Chengyi stood in front of the window, a little distracted.
In fact, it’s not just Chen Jinzhi who hates rainy days, he doesn’t like them either.
————————————————
"At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary rainstorm, and only I knew."
At this time, Chu Qingmian, who was on the other side of the city, looked at the rain curtain, and like Su Chengyi, thought of this umbrella gift. The past of failed attempts.
When I was young, I thought this guy had no good heart and was extremely hateful.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little sad.
All the students in the school were picked up by their parents. Everyone was happy for the sudden holiday. No one paid attention to the math problem that stumped most people.
Su Chengyi finished writing it quietly by himself. Was he waiting for someone to pick him up because he wrote the topic, or was he calm because he knew the ending.
The two were still in junior high school at that time, a fragile and sensitive age.
Chu Qingmian shrank into the sofa, suddenly wanting to go back to the past and accompany him through that heavy rain.
"Well, take Sister Lin to find a place to shelter from the rain and wait. I will come right away."
After understanding the situation, Su Chengyi hung up the phone, grabbed an umbrella and went out Door.
Although Lin Tong tried to be as tactful and calm as possible, since he chose to call for help, it meant that the matter was not that simple.
The cardboard houses in the Olive District were probably torn apart by such a storm and were completely uninhabitable.
It is still the Spring Festival holiday, and many nearby hotels are closed. Even if there are any, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get vacant rooms.
In such weather, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get a taxi.
Lin Tong will not trouble him unless it is absolutely necessary.
As soon as Su Chengyi came downstairs, he was shocked by the wind and rain that came in through the gap between the iron door railings.
Hey guys, let’s play in the rapids here.
Driving there is the best option. The key is that he hasn’t had time to pick up the car yet.
Su Chengyi thought for a long time, then raised his hand to unscrew the door lock.
The huge wind force opened the door for him in an instant, and the iron door hit the wall and buzzed.
Su Chengyi took advantage of this gap and got out. He didn't hold an umbrella, but strode directly to the opposite downstairs.
I vaguely remembered that Uncle Niu had a car. At this time, I had no other choice but to ask him to borrow it.
Aunt Zhu quickly opened the door, her head full of foam, and the impatience on her face disappeared when she saw that the person coming was Su Chengyi.
"Who the hell is going to make this point? Ouch! What's going on? Look at you, you're wet, come in, come in!"
Aunt Zhu reached out and held his arm. He took him into the house and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Niu Xianwang! Come out with a new towel!"
Su Chengyi waved her hand to reject her kindness, cleared her throat, and said:
"Auntie, I have to go out in a hurry. Look at the weather. , I really can’t get a taxi, can I borrow your car?”
Hearing what he said, Uncle Niu first covered his head with a towel, and then replied. :
“That won’t work.”
Su Chengyi was stunned. Aunt Zhu's loud slap had already hit Uncle Niu's head.
"What the hell are you talking about? What can't be done? Get the car keys!"
Uncle Niu received this slap, his head was buzzing, and he retorted angrily:
"Why are you so anxious! You prodigal bitch!"
He sighed, took out the key chain from his pocket, and shook it.
"Do you have a driver's license? Besides, is it safe for you to drive in such heavy rain? Just wait, uncle will put on a coat to see you off."
Su Chengyi took out a brand new car from the inside pocket of his coat The driver's license was handed to him.
"Yes, uncle."
Uncle Niu choked and scratched his head.
“Wait a minute, did you drink two taels of white wine tonight?”
At this time, Aunt Zhu also remembered something important.
“You want to drink and drive?”
“What’s wrong with just two taels? Do you think there’s still a taste of alcohol in my mouth? Ha——”
"Ha, sir!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Su Chengyi quickly spoke up to stop him:
"Auntie and uncle, I'll just go by myself. I've been practicing driving these days, so there won't be any problem. It's getting late, so you should go to bed early and don't disturb Chocolate when he goes to sleep."
See you there. When he said this, Aunt Zhu and Uncle Niu looked at each other and had no choice but to agree.
Aunt Zhu put a large raincoat on Su Chengyi. The workmanship was very solid. It is said that it was given to her when she was working in the factory.
Uncle Niu held an umbrella and carried Su Chengyi to a white car in the strong wind.
“There’s nothing wrong with the car, it’s just a bit old. Hey, I’m afraid I’m not a few years younger than you.”
Uncle Niu explained a few operating precautions and repeatedly told him to drive slowly and pay attention to safety.
Su Cheng nodded and agreed, finally completing the task and getting a vehicle.
But this is probably the first-level equipment for free players.
Su Chengyi always felt that the engine would stall halfway through.
But there is no better way at the moment. Let’s just drive. It’s better than walking.
Moreover, although this car is old, the owner obviously takes good care of it. The seats and steering wheel have been wiped clean.
A group photo of the family of three is placed in the car, and the word "peace" is written on the dangling sachet.
In fact, you don’t necessarily need many cool and big toys to attract people.
While thinking this, Su Chengyi stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the rain curtain.
There are no pedestrians on the street in bad weather. No matter how high the splash of water caused by the drift of the car is, you will not be scolded for your lack of quality.
The wipers were working hard, but the visibility was still very low, as nerve-wracking as driving in fog.
Su Chengyi felt an inexplicable excitement. This strange feeling reminded him of an old friend he should have forgotten long ago.
In his previous life, he made appointments for psychological counseling every month.
It was said to be a consultation, but in fact it was just paying someone to talk to him.
Su Chengyi boasts that he does not have any psychological problems. He is just taking this opportunity to exercise his language skills to prevent functional deterioration.
Ordinary counselors are relieved and relaxed, and will only ask him the same questions. But then, a new person came to the counseling room.
She is obviously not as sensible as her predecessors. She asks every question carefully and takes notes more carefully than when listening to lectures in class.
Su Chengyi closed her eyes and was very impatient with this consultation.
The aromatherapy in the consultation room was also changed, from the usual lavender smell to the strange bergamot smell.
After answering a lot of wild questions, such as "Imagine a horse and tell me whether it is a white horse, a black horse or a zebra", the young female consultant made a summary.
"Mr. Su, based on my test on you, I think you may have a serious self-destructive tendency."
"Self-destructive tendency?"
"Yes . You take the value of life too lightly.
Have you ever had the thought of "Damn it, I've washed it" because the ice cream you just bought fell to the ground? >
".Do I look cheap?"
"Hahahaha, this is just a metaphor."
Although the counselor's face was blurred in Su Chengyi's memory, he inexplicably remembered it When she said this, she smiled with her eyes curled up.
“I am not making this judgment to judge you, but I happen to be very interested in it.
There is a psychologist, well, actually it is Freud, a god The godly old man
You should know Mr. Su, right? I have read your previous interviews. You have almost finished reading "The Interpretation of Dreams". Isn't it useful for bluffing people? Isn't it? I often deceive laymen like this. "
".Isn't this a bit against professional ethics for your consultant? Speaking of which, what is the reporting phone number? "
"Oops, I accidentally went too far! Let’s get back to the point! ”
The female consultant’s sinister smile and overly bright eyes made Su Chengyi think that she looked like a doctor in a thriller who randomly selected lucky patients to conduct abnormal research, and he immediately suppressed the word "refund". .
“Freud once said that all people are born with a strong impulse, which is the death drive. Its essence is self-destruction.
Those who choose self-destruction may be chatting and laughing with you one second, but the next second they are like fireworks, exploding with a bang.
To them, death is as common as drinking water when thirsty.
Moreover, if you live longer and go farther, you will hear the sound of firecrackers becoming more and more frequent and louder!
After the fireworks exploded, body parts were everywhere. It was scary, right?
But it seems very beautiful!
In a dark world, only the moment when these fireworks explode can you see clearly what life is like. ”
The female counselor became more and more excited as she spoke, and in the end she spoke as fast as a barrage of words.
But what she said was completely like a mentally disturbed lunatic!
Just when Su Chengyi felt suffocated and her heartbeat accelerated, she suddenly closed her mouth again and returned to smiling as if her battery was exhausted.
The consultation time was up.
"In short, Mr. Su, I look forward to meeting you next time.
Before the next meeting, you are free to choose some healing methods."
".For example?"
When Su Chengyi spoke, he realized that his throat was so dry that it was smoking.
“Play Genshin Impact to heal yourself.”
"."
"Hahaha, I'm just joking, Mr. Su, bye!"
The crazy female consultant stuffed an orange fruit candy into his hand and left. , and even greeted the cleaning lady cheerfully when she left.
Su Chengyi had never felt that the two hours in the consultation room had been so long, and she vaguely had the idea that she would miss the next consultation, and the consultation fee would be wasted.
Unfortunately, this plan has not yet been implemented.
Because before that, the day before the agreed date for the consultation, he was reborn.
At that time, Su Chengyi just thought that he had met a talkative woman and did not take her words to heart.
The reason is simple. If he really had any self-destructive tendencies, would he still be able to live to this age?
I must have been severely depressed as early as adolescence.
But now.
Su Chengyi saw a heavy rain curtain in front of him, the wipers were operating repeatedly and mechanically, and the dull sound of raindrops hitting the glass could be heard in his ears.
For no reason, he suddenly wanted to kick the accelerator and disappear in the rainstorm.
This is unreasonable.
He is no longer the lonely loser and fearful young man in his previous life.
He is rich, has a girlfriend, and is very successful in both career and studies.
If he died at this time, many people would be heartbroken for him at the funeral.
But this idea came out of nowhere, and it lingered around my heart like a rapidly growing vine.
The last reason led Su Chengyi to brake suddenly and stop on the side of the road. The tires skidded and made a harsh friction sound.
He was lying on the steering wheel, his violent heartbeat almost covering up everything around him.
It sounded like fireworks exploding.
The car window was banged at this time.
Su Chengyi came back from his chaotic consciousness and saw a uniformed traffic policeman standing next to the car, warning with a serious face:
"Hello, you can't park here."
"Sorry, I'll leave right away."
Su Chengyi realized that her back was wet. She didn't know if it was the rain she just got in or the cold sweat.
"Wait a minute, let's take a look at the ID."
The traffic policeman felt something was wrong with the young man's state, and suspiciously pressed the car door that was about to close.
Su Chengyi nodded and cooperatively took out his driver's license and ID card from his coat pocket.
Although the negative emotions in his heart were roaring and rolling at this moment, his expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and no one noticed that the veins in the arm holding the steering wheel were exposed.
After the traffic police carefully compared the information and confirmed that there was no problem, he closed the car door for him and saluted.
"The road is slippery on rainy days, pay attention to safety."
"Thank you."
Su Chengyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Could it be that the consultant was right?
The phone rang at this time. He originally thought it was Lin Tong who couldn't wait to call to inquire, but he didn't expect it was Chen Jinzhi calling.
"Hello?"
Not wanting her to hear something was wrong, Su Chengyi covered the receiver, coughed a few times to clear his throat, and then said "hmm" pretending to be nonchalant.
"The weather forecast says it will rain heavily in Tang'an City."
Chen Jinzhi said while looking at the clear night sky outside the window.
“Yes, it’s raining heavily outside.”
Su Chengyi said this deliberately to avoid letting her know that he was out.
"Teacher Su doesn't like rainy days either, right?"
"Huh?"
Su Chengyi was stunned for a moment, not understanding how she could tell.
“Just take a guess.”
Chen Jinzhi's tone contained a hint of laughter.
"In bad weather, citizens and friends are kindly requested to avoid traveling as much as possible. If you must travel, bring rain gear, as you will catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."
Su Chengyi listened to her speaking in a straight tone like a weather program announcer. Yuan's broadcast made me want to laugh for a moment.
Unconsciously, I felt a lot more relaxed.
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you have already traveled.”
Chen Jinzhi changed the subject and spoke in a gentle voice.
"You know. If you are not sincere in holding an umbrella, then I will love you in the rain."
I wonder how Chen Jinzhi noticed that he was emotionally abnormal, telepathy?
Su Chengyi was a little confused, but had to admit that Chen Jinzhi's words were very useful.
The rain continued, but he had calmed down a lot.
Su Chengyi connected to the car's Bluetooth, restarted the car, and prepared to continue moving towards the destination.
If it was a previous life, that would be fine.
They are all reborn, whether it is psychological problems or childhood shadows, the worst thing is that they can be discovered and treated early.
"Hello, why aren't you leaving?"
The car window was knocked again, and the traffic policeman who just asked frowned.
"Leaving right away."
After adjusting his mentality, Su Chengyi even smiled at him, and then tried to start the engine.
“Puff——”
“.”
It seems that the engine has turned off.
Su Chengyi and the suspicious traffic policeman looked at each other.
To the north, it’s time to wash the garlic! ! !
