Chapter 4141 Appreciating the Rain
Xiao Xiao likes to sit in the teahouse's box when it rains.
Just a pot of tea is fine.
It has the atmosphere of a martial arts drama.
But every time, his grandparents, parents, and parents would load a tray full of snacks for him.
He would stay in the box until the rain stopped.
certainly.
If it rains really for a long time, when it's time to eat, he will be asked to go downstairs to eat.
….
Um?
Xiao Xiao's expression was slightly startled.
He remembered something...
Once, he was lost in thought while looking at the heavy rain outside the window.
He stood at the window.
He actually used to have the habit of putting his hands on the windowsill and leaning out to watch the rain.
After being seen and spoken to by adults several times, he remembered not to do this anymore.
Although he doesn't think such behavior is dangerous.
……
His ears twitched slightly.
What sound?
He grabbed the window sill with both hands, and his upper body couldn't help but lean out of the window.
……
The sound of rain in my ears became louder.
Wow~
Like a symphony between heaven and earth.
Magnificent and shocking.
……
He was immediately distracted by the sound of rain.
It took him a while to realize what he was going to do.
His ears pricked up.
He was looking for the sound he just heard.
Not the sound of rain.
But...
What is it?
Confusion appeared on his face.
The moment he heard the sound was too short, and he reacted subconsciously.
But no more information was obtained from it.
……
Did you hear that wrong?
He couldn't help but think.
Obviously.
Apart from the rain, he couldn't hear any other sounds.
oh.
There was also the sound of car tires grinding over the puddled road.
There was a faint sound of car horns in the distance.
……
He gave up.
He was going to shrink back.
Unexpectedly, my hand slipped-
Originally, there was some accumulation of rainwater blown by the strong wind on the windowsill.
In addition, the rainwater that fell on his hands dripped down his elbows.
The windowsill became even more slippery.
……
His eyes widened.
There was no time to take any remedial measures and reactions.
His mind went blank.
He had already seen the door of the teahouse.
It seems that in the next second he will end up zero distance from the ground at the entrance of the teahouse...
……
Um?
He blinked blankly.
He...
Why did it stop?
It's like the world has been put on pause.
But the rain hitting his face told him that it wasn't.
The only one who was suspended was himself.
……
His eyes were covered with rain.
He closed his eyes.
Wait until he opens his eyes again...
His mouth opened wide.
He has returned to the box.
Stand steadily in front of the window sill.
…..
What's going on?
He blinked blankly.
Not sure what's going on?
Just now...
Did he really almost fall out of the window?
He stepped forward.
But after the thrilling moment before, life hangs on a thread-
He doubted that if he really fell...
Will he fall so hard that his brain will burst?
Will it scare grandma and mother, right?
And the guests in the teahouse.
Will everyone no longer dare to come to his teahouse in the future?
Thinking about it this way, he was both scared and lucky at the same time.
Very good.
He didn't fall off the ledge.
But it’s raining heavily now. Is the blood... easy to wash away?
He couldn't help but think wildly.
……
He shook his head.
He reached out and pressed his head again.
He raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings.
Soon, he found his target.
He reached out and grabbed a shelf with green plants by the window.
Then the person carefully approached the window sill.
The other hand grasped the window sill firmly.
He looked outside.
…..
After half a minute, he looked away in disappointment.
Nothing.
He found nothing.
….
After being stunned for a while, he still felt unwilling to do so.
He clearly remembered that he almost fell out of the window.
The palpitations at that moment...
He put a hand on his chest.
The heart inside is beating fast.
The memory was still fresh in his mind. How could it be fake?
Could it be that his memory, his feelings, his body's reactions were all deceiving him?
……
If it's not fake...
So how did he turn the corner?
There was a look of confusion on his face.
Regarding this...
He couldn't help but reach out and hit his head.
Really no clue at all.
So strange...
So weird...
……
He took a deep breath.
He tilted his body slightly and leaned his head out of the window.
The hands holding the shelves and window sill were very strong.
The veins on the back of his hands appeared vaguely.
……
The rain blown by the wind hit my face.
Somewhat painful.
Still cool.
The dense rain immediately made his vision blurry again.
….
He closed his eyes-
Um?
He quickly opened his eyes again.
He remembers...
It was because of a similar situation that his eyes were blinded by rain before.
To clear his vision, he closed his eyes.
When he opens it again...
Everything is over.
He returned to the box.
He is safe.
……
What about this time?
After a few seconds, he was disappointed to find that nothing had changed.
Too.
There is nothing for him to move this time.
He was already safe.
……
"...Hello."
He pursed his lips.
Opened several times.
Finally, he made his voice come out.
Very light though.
Floating outside the window, I was instantly swallowed up by the sound of rain and wind.
……
"Hello."
This time, his voice was louder.
"Are you there?"
He turned his head and looked up, left, and right.
The rain quickly covered his entire face.
……
He looked like a puppy that had fallen into the water.
It felt like the hair was stuck to my face and I couldn't see clearly.
He shook his head vigorously.
It also reminded him of the scene he had seen of a puppy shaking its head.
……
He narrowed his eyes.
Try to keep your eyes open again.
He felt embarrassed.
It was just the reluctance in his heart that made him unwilling to give up even if he was in such a mess.
……
"Hey!"
The embarrassment and futile anger on his body made him finally scream out loud.
He rarely has-
No.
In his memory, he had never been so embarrassed.
He was inevitably a little angry.
……
"Hey!"
"Are you there?"
he shouted.
"You come out!"
"Did you save me just now?"
"Thank you."
"...where are you?"
"Can you come out and let me have a look?"
"...Have you left already?"
……
All his shouts were drowned in the rain and shattered in the wind.
He even suspected that his voice did not even reach the eaves above the teahouse.
……
"Ah~~!"
He yelled as if to vent his anger.
Next second-
"Cough~cough~"
He suddenly coughed violently.
Rain choked in his throat.
……
He clutched his throat.
He suddenly retracted his body.
The shelf with green plants was pulled crookedly by his force.
It makes a bit of a harsh friction sound.
……
He lowered his head.
His face turned red.
He coughed loudly.
For him, it was quite an earth-shattering feeling.
He almost thought he was responsible for this cough.
