Chapter 162 Searching for someone in the rain [two-in-one, extra update for Xiaoyao Ghost]
Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head.
If this is really the case, assuming Bai Qingxia's mood at that time, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"She must have been waiting for me to leave before she dared to feed daddy."
Urban Village, Osmanthus Alley.
In the rental house, the dining table was erected against the wall to make some space in the middle area.
Bai Qingxia opened the curtain and glanced at the water basin under the ceiling. The water was dripping faster than in the past few days. After all, there was only a wall between the rooftop and the ceiling, and there was much more water on the rooftop today than before.
One pot has just been poured, and it will take a while before the next pot is full.
Thinking of this, the girl lowered the curtain and stood in the outside space while recalling the dance content she had learned at the beginning. She raised her legs and did a flat pony against the wall, warming up before practicing dance.
She looked back and saw that her father had fallen asleep, so she tried to keep the noise she made to a minimum.
Under the dim light, in the narrow rental room, the girl started practicing after a simple warm-up.
In the past countless days and nights, this scene has been staged many times, but tonight the rain is getting louder and louder, so the girl's movements are gradually looser, as if she is not far away from turning into a real swan. .
……
Early on Wednesday morning, Lu Yuanqiu scratched his head and walked out of the bedroom. Suddenly he heard Lu Yidong exclaim: "I'm flooded, what should I do?! Can I stop going to school?! Wuwuwu..."
"What's causing the flood?"
Lu Yuanqiu put his hand on her shoulder, walked to the window and took a look, and his sleepy eyes suddenly opened completely.
"I'm going..."
The water on the road downstairs seemed to be very deep. The cars passing by drove very slowly, but they also caused large ripples.
The boundary of the Xingfu River next to it can no longer be seen. The river water has overflowed the shore. If I hadn't looked down from a high building, I really wouldn't know where the dividing line between the river water and the shore is.
Lu Yuanqiu knew that the terrain here in Xingfuli was quite high, but the water had risen like this, so the side of Osmanthus Alley...
"It seems that there is something wrong with the city's drainage system. Damn it, every time there is a heavy rain, there will be problems with the drainage system. Lucheng is really ruined."
Lu Tian muttered after using the toilet.
Lu Yidong looked at his father with a sad face: "Can I stop going to school?"
Lu Tian was stunned, turned to look in the direction of the bedroom, and said, "Ask your mother, don't ask me."
Lu Yidong could only give up with his mouth closed.
No... I have to pick up Bai Qingxia.
When Lu Yuanqiu thought of this, he didn't bother to wash up. He took out a pair of his mother's sandals from the shoe cabinet and ran out.
"I'm going to school!"
He yelled and walked out the door.
The water outside Xingfuli had reached up to his calves, and the streets were full of cars honking their horns frantically. Lu Yuanqiu took his sandals, waded through the water, and headed for Osmanthus Alley at a trot.
The closer we get to that side, the deeper the water on the ground gets. When we get to Qingnian Road, the water has already reached our knees.
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and found that a parent had already brought his child out, put the child in a large basin, and let the child use the basin as a boat. The parents and the child couldn't stop laughing.
"..."
Lu Yuanqiu thought in his heart to see if you will still laugh when you fall into the pit.
He came all the way to Osmanthus Alley. The path in the alley was downhill. When he walked into the alley, the water was already halfway up his thighs.
I really want to call San Bo to complain... But he is probably quite busy now, Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but think to himself.
As soon as Lu Yuanqiu entered the courtyard where Bai Qingxia lived, he heard Sister Li's voice from the balcony on the second floor.
"Isn't this Xiaoqiu? Are you here to pick up Xiaoxia?"
Sister Li stood on the balcony and looked down. Lu Yuanqiu looked up and found Bai Qingxia standing next to Sister Li. Sure enough, she hadn't gone to school yet.
"Slow down and watch your step!"
The girl looked worriedly at the scene below and shouted to Lu Yuanqiu.
The water in the yard was even more terrifying. It had reached the top of his thighs. According to Bai Qingxia's height, the water would definitely be able to reach her lower abdomen.
Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at the rooms in the courtyard on the first floor. The uncle and a few middle-aged people were cursing and packing their things. There were a bunch of empty bottles that the uncle had picked up floating on the water. The uncle almost collapsed after picking them up.
After going upstairs, Lu Yuanqiu held on to the wall, feeling very tired.
Seeing the young man's embarrassment, Bai Qingxia quickly found a towel from the house and ran to him to help him wipe the rain off his head.
Lu Yuanqiu bent down so that she could not reach her, and at the same time asked Sister Li: "Long time no see, Sister Li, are you still working there?"
Zhang Li sighed: "I didn't change, so I went back shamelessly. Anyway, the customer only came once, and the boss understood us."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded and asked: "Are you still going to work today?"
"What are you doing here? The KTV is closed. Let's rest at home today."
Bai Qingxia was still helping Lu Yuanqiu wipe the back of his head and neck like a mother.
Suddenly she stretched her head over and said to Sister Li sheepishly: "Sister Li, can you help me watch my dad at home today and keep him from going out?"
"Okay, no problem, but it's like this. Are you still going to school today?"
Sister Li didn't understand.
Lu Yuanqiu said with a smile: "If the school doesn't notify you that you can't go, then you just go."
But his worries became increasingly real.
In this case, the exam will not really be canceled, right?
It is not a big problem for students who are currently living on campus, but if they have to go home on Friday, it is very likely that the exams on Thursday and Friday will be canceled directly and students will go home directly, because the water will be deeper in the future.
After Bai Qingxia put the towel back in the room, Lu Yuanqiu handed her the sandals in his hand and said, "These are my mother's shoes, you wear them first."
"Okay, thank you..."
She ran back to the room, glanced at Lu Yuanqiu at the door, then lowered her eyes and closed the door.
Are you changing your shoes and avoiding me? This is too much!
Lu Yuanqiu stood at the door and stared.
But when the door opened a moment later, Lu Yuanqiu discovered that it was Bai Qingxia who had also changed her clothes. She changed into a school uniform. It seemed that she was unwilling to let her new clothes get wet. Lu Yuanqiu lowered his head and looked at the flat sandals on Bai Qingxia's feet. These sandals were not suitable for girls. The design seemed a bit mature, but it was not inconsistent with the beautiful white feet. It just looked childish when paired with the school uniform. Violation.
Before going downstairs, Lu Yuanqiu saw Bai Qingxia lifting up her school uniform pants at the entrance of the stairs, revealing most of her snow-white slender legs. The arcs of her legs were well-proportioned and soft, and the entire length was white, matching the clothes on her feet. Wearing a pair of shiny beige flat sandals, her slender legs looked very beautiful from behind. Lu Yuanqiu had even imagined how she would look like wearing a short skirt and sandals in the summer.
However, Bai Qingxia glanced at the depth of the water below and seemed to realize that lifting her pants would inevitably make them wet. She put her pants down again and walked down the stairs. Lu Yuanqiu quickly followed behind: "How about I hug you? Wait until outside. If you lift your pants again, the water will be almost as deep.”
Bai Qingxia seemed to have some doubts about the word "hug", and her little face struggled for a second or two before she raised her head and nodded to Lu Yuanqiu.
After all, what she resisted was not being held by Lu Yuanqiu, but holding her in front of the students.
After going downstairs, Bai Qingxia jumped slightly and hugged Lu Yuanqiu's neck tightly. Lu Yuanqiu picked up the princess, easily lifted her to her lower abdomen, and slowly walked out of the yard.
The girl weighs about 90 pounds and is 1.6cm tall. It is not easy to hold her.
After leaving the courtyard, Bai Qingxia raised her head and waved goodbye to Sister Li on the balcony on the second floor. Sister Li smiled and nodded, and then watched the couple leave the alley with emotional eyes.
After arriving at school, Bai Qingxia herself was surprised that her pants didn't get wet at all.
Lu Yuanqiu was wearing shorts, sitting next to him and shaking his legs with a smile. He looked at the embarrassment of other people in the class, gloating a little.

Today, almost everyone came wearing slippers and sandals. Su Miaomiao also wore sandals. Zhong Jincheng followed her when she went to the teaching building, staring at her heels all the way.
"Prepare to admit defeat, Lu Yuanqiu!"
After entering the classroom, Zhong Jincheng smiled excitedly at Lu Yuanqiu. Others in the class also looked at the scene on campus passionately. Even Zheng Yifeng didn't sleep.
Everyone seems to be like this when they are in school. It is obvious that snowstorms and heavy rains will bring great inconvenience to normal life, but students are all expecting that the bigger the trouble, the better, and it is best to affect the normal operation of the school.
After all, compared with the boring campus life, this inevitable "natural disaster" can at least add some excitement to the dull life.
At the end of the day, the entire class was filled with a strange wet smell.
It wasn't until evening self-study that Lu Yuanqiu suddenly received a QQ message on his cell phone. He took it out and took a look.
"Sister Li": Xiaoqiu, I sent a message to Xiaoxia but she didn't reply. Her father went out at some time. I was cooking and didn't pay attention. What should I do? It's still raining heavily outside.
Lu Yuanqiu frowned, patted the girl next to him who was doing the questions, and showed her the message.
Bai Qingxia turned around and looked panicked for a moment. Without hesitation, she quickly put down her pen, closed her exercise book, and walked towards the door of the class.
Lu Yuanqiu put his cell phone in his pocket and quickly followed behind.
Brother Xu, who was sitting on the podium watching the evening self-study, looked up and said nothing. He continued to browse the space diary of his last blind date.
Arriving outside the teaching building, Lu Yuanqiu took the girl's arm and motioned for him to make a call first.
"Hello? Dad, did Uncle Bai go to the supermarket?"
Lu Tian's voice came from the phone: "No, I told Xiaoxia that I have a holiday today."
"Okay, got it."
Lu Yuanqiu hung up the phone, and Bai Qingxia anxiously asked him softly: "What should I do?"
She never asked anyone when she was in trouble before, she just relied on herself to solve it, but now, she has become accustomed to discussing things with the teenagers around her. Probably since that day at the amusement park, she has regarded Lu Yuanqiu as a A family of sorts.
Lu Yuanqiu first comforted her and said: "Don't worry, your father will hardly go to No. 65 Middle School now. The way to the supermarket has become his daily fixed route. I am 80% sure that he will go there now." The road to the supermarket is just a bit difficult, so I haven’t reached the supermarket yet.”
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Tian's call came back.
"What's going on? Lao Bai is missing?"
Lu Tian asked loudly.
While Lu Yuanqiu answered the phone, he took Bai Qingxia's arm and walked outside the school.
"He ran away from home. If he goes to the supermarket, call me immediately."
"Okay, how about I go out and look for it too? Should I let Fatty and the others watch in the supermarket?"
Lu Yuanqiu frowned: "My dad, just stay there. You don't know where they live. Where to find them? In case Uncle Bai finds them, you disappear again."
"Okay, okay..."
Lu Yuanqiu hung up the phone and walked towards the supermarket with Bai Qingxia first. The supermarket was closer to the school. It was easier to see Bai Songzhe by looking back from the supermarket. Of course... provided that Bai Songzhe really went to the supermarket.
After leaving the school, it was raining heavily outside, and the two of them were soaked to the skin within a few seconds.
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and stretched out his hand. Bai Qingxia quickly took it, but Lu Yuanqiu noticed that her eyes were a little red.
"Don't worry, my uncle will be fine. I don't believe that he didn't go out on his own before."
"Yeah."
Bai Qingxia nodded quickly and responded with one word, not daring to say anything more.
The reason she was worried was that it had rained heavily this time. During the rainstorm, the water was so deep and it was still dark. If her father encountered a problem, passers-by might find it troublesome and pretend not to see it.
Normally, Bai Qingxia would have thought that passers-by would at least be kind and willing to lend a hand...
Due to family reasons, she has always maintained a pessimistic attitude towards things. For girls, the word optimism has always been luxurious and unreal.
The two of them saw the appearance of the supermarket from a distance on the road. Lu Yuanqiu looked back and saw that Bai Qingxia's hair had been wet and stuck to her face. He grabbed the girl's hand and shouted amidst the heavy rain: " We are looking in the direction of your home!”
"Okay!"
The girl had already made the loudest reply, but it was still covered by the sound of heavy rain.
On this kind of road, the water was thigh-deep. The rainstorm this time was really extremely violent. At this moment, Lu Yuanqiu seriously suspected that Zhong Jincheng was doing it secretly.
The two of them had just passed two traffic lights along the road. Lu Yuanqiu wiped his eyes when he suddenly heard Bai Qingxia behind her speaking at a volume that was extremely inconsistent with her usual speech: "There!!"
Looking in the direction she pointed, Lu Yuanqiu saw Bai Songzhe standing on the side of the road holding a lamppost, helplessly looking at the thigh-deep water all around.
Lu Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Qingxia behind him let go of his hand and hurriedly ran over.
She came to her father's side, cried, raised her hand and beat her father's arm hard, shouting heartbreakingly: "I told you to stay at home today! But you don't listen! What are you doing out! What are you doing! What are you doing!!!"
In the heavy rain, the girl's suppressed emotions were released at this moment, and she yelled at her father.
"Xia Xia..."
Bai Songzhe hugged the street lamp and spoke in fear.
Lu Yuanqiu watched this scene silently. After pausing for a few seconds, he hurriedly stepped forward. He first stopped the crying Bai Qingxia aside, and accused Bai Songzhe: "Uncle! You are too dedicated! You are so big." You still come to work when you are wet! The supermarket should give you a model worker award!”
