S City had been drought all summer long, and in autumn I finally couldn't hold it in. It was a bit gloomy on Sunday. After two reserved drizzles on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday suddenly turned around and it was surging. The heavy rain started to fall from three or four o'clock in the afternoon and continued until the time of Huazheng Company's get off work was like a fire truck pouring it down.

Lu Xiaoman's old man came to pick her up in a car, and Lu Xiaoman wanted to call Su Tang to go with her. Thinking that returning to Lu Xiaoman's house and going to the sanatorium were completely opposite, Su Tang refused to do the work he had not finished yet.

The subway station is not far from the company's door, and it is up to three minutes to walk over. Su Tang has the habit of carrying an umbrella with him and is not in a hurry to go home. After calling his grandmother for safety, he worked overtime while waiting for the rain to lighten.

Less than twenty minutes after hanging up grandma's phone, Su Tang received a text message from Chen Yi.

——Are you still in the company?

Su Tang could probably guess why he asked such a question at this time, and couldn't help but look up at the pot of glass begonia on the table that had been completely open.

At half past six, it was still early before Chen Yi went to work, so he should be still at home. The distance from his house to Huazheng was no different from that when Lu Xiaoman sent her to the sanatorium and then went home.

After all, Chen Yi was just a patient that his grandmother had taken care of. There were many patients who kept in touch with her after leaving the sanatorium like him. His frequent and meticulous care and care far exceeded the general standard. Even if he was willing to thank her for the unexpected encouragement she had given him in childhood, it was an unintentional act after all. She was really embarrassed to always accept his care with shamelessness.

Su Tang was very moved and refused in his hand.

——No, I'm already at home.

Five minutes later, Chen Yi sent a reply.

——Doctor Zhou said you haven’t returned yet, where are you?

Su Tang looked at the words on her phone with tears in tears. Why did she forget that her grandmother and he were in the same group...

Su Tang originally wanted to reply that he was on the way and was almost home, but before the information was edited, Chen Yi sent another one.

——Tell me, otherwise I will call the police immediately.

Chen Yi had never used such a cold and hard tone before. Su Tang felt so angry that he was afraid that he would actually call the police, so he quickly replied truthfully.

——Don’t worry, I’m working overtime at the company and will go home when the rain is getting lighter.

Chen Yi quickly came back and his tone returned to his previous gentleness.

——Do it slowly, don’t worry, I’ll wait for you at the door.

Su Tang almost glared out his eyes at the screen of the phone.

He has arrived?!

Su Tang looked up at the rain outside the window, and hurriedly turned off the computer, tidied up in a hurry, greeted his colleague who was still working overtime, and hurried downstairs.

Because the rain was too heavy, many people were stranded in the lobby on the first floor, chatting in groups of three or five waiting for the rain to stop. As soon as Su Tang got out of the elevator, he saw Chen Yi standing near the door wearing a straight black suit holding an umbrella.

Su Tang found that no matter where he was, Chen Yi had a gentle presence. Only today, perhaps because of this heavy rain, Su Tang felt that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, Chen Yi also saw her, her face looked a little ugly. After briefly meeting her eyes, she moved her eyes a little lowered. Seeing that she was holding an umbrella in her hand, she turned around and opened the umbrella in her hand and walked into the rain, as if she didn't know her at all.

"Why--"

This turned around simply and decisively. Su Tang felt intuition that even if he could hear the sound, she would not be able to stop him at this time.

Su Tang was a little confused. He was waiting for her here just to let her look at her in advance?

What's going on...

Chen Yi came to pick her up from afar. Su Tang would not be able to do anything to him at this time, so he quickly accelerated his steps and followed him in the direction he was walking out.

Chen Yi's car did not park directly downstairs of the company, but was parked in a temporary parking space on the side of the road. When Su Tang looked over, Chen Yi had already gotten into the car. The door was half open, obviously for her.

Su Tang sat in with her umbrella, thanked Xu Chao, put the wet umbrella into a plastic bag, and cleaned up the rainwater on her body with a tissue. Chen Yi kept his eyes closed and leaned against the seat next to her, without even looking at her.

Su Tang guessed that he was angry with her because she lied to him. He felt angry and funny. He didn't bother to pay attention to him after packing up. He just turned around and looked at the car window that was blurred by the rain. There was no voice in the car for a while. Xu Chao couldn't hold it in. He carefully glanced at the two people in the rearview mirror and spoke nervously.

"Sister Su, are you angry with Brother Chen?"

Su Tang was so wronged that she was crying without tears. She turned her head and looked at the silence that was still a little ugly. Chen Yi closed his eyes and was immersed in the silence that belonged only to him. He did not react at all because of Xu Chao's words. Perhaps because he was afraid of wrinkling his suit. Although he leaned against the seat, his spine was still straight, and he looked a bit serious and indescribable, as if he was brewing how to talk to her about life.

"I'm not angry, look at it yourself, isn't he angry with me?"

As soon as Su Tang finished speaking, Xu Chao was heard in front of him, which was inconsistent with his age. "Oh, Brother Chen is either angry, he is just anxious. It's not safe for you to go back alone."

She could understand Chen Yi's kindness, but she was so cautiously worried by an adult in her twenties by a man who could not be as old as her. Su Tang felt a little aggrieved by being somewhat distrustful and muttered lightly, "What does it have to do with the rain when I take the subway back?"

Xu Chao focused on observing the complicated road conditions mixed by the heavy rain, and analyzed seriously, "Look at the road that is difficult to drive... Don't you have to cross the road when you go to the subway entrance? What if a car hits you?"

Su Tang rolled his eyes at the back of his round head, "You can't just read me!"

Xu Chao saw that his explanation became more and more messy, and he was so anxious that he was sweating. He still looked ahead without looking at him, "No, Sister Su, don't blame Brother Chen... He is very careful about going out. Not only you, but also Sister Qin and Brother Zhao and others will remind him."

When Su Tang heard that Qin Jingyao and Zhao Yang, two people a few years older than him, were worried by him, he felt much more balanced. Xu Chao didn't see Su Tang's curled mouth, and was still talking bitterly.

"Just tell me. I drove for Brother Chen for more than a year, and he got angry at me. Because I was overtaken at the intersection, I was stopped by the traffic police. Before the traffic police could say anything as soon as he got off the car, he slapped me in the face, scaring the traffic police silly."

Su Tang couldn't imagine what Chen Yi would like to hit someone, and he couldn't help but look at the person who was still tense there. He was a little serious, but he was quiet and had no aggression at all. Su Tang smiled bitterly, "As for it..."

Xu Chao carefully twisted the steering wheel and turned over an intersection. After hesitating for a moment, he was still afraid that Su Tang would misunderstand Chen Yi's temper and couldn't help but whisper, "I didn't think it was that way. Later, he told me that he had a car accident when he was a child. His mother became a vegetative because of this. Now he is still lying in the hospital. It's been more than 20 years... Don't mention this to him, he doesn't want to tell anyone."

Su Tang looked at the person beside him who was still undisturbed for a moment. He and she sat side by side, but the SUV's too spacious back seat opened a distance between them. It seemed that he was staying alone in another space.

Chen Yi never mentioned his biological mother. She thought that she was either divorced like her mother and was as decisive as she died, or she had really passed away...

Such a careful person has such a deep shadow in his heart. No wonder he always worrys about people traveling.

Su Tang suddenly felt very distressed.

Didn’t he say he hadn’t suffered so much?

Compared to his own sluggishness, Su Tang admired Xu Chao a little, "You have a good temper. You can give him a chance to explain when you slapped you in the street."

When Xu Chao heard Su Tang's voice soften, he felt relieved and laughed, "Brother Chen is nice to me, what's the point of slapping him? If I'm a girl, I must pester him as a wife for him."

Su Tang laughed out loud, "If you really have this determination, gender is not a problem at all."

The honest Xu Chao almost jumped out of the driver's seat, "Oh! Sister Su! What are you talking about!"

Su Tang originally planned to wait for Chen Yi to figure out how to talk to her about life, and let him vent his resentment before saying anything else, but after waiting for ten minutes, Chen Yi still didn't move. Su Tang couldn't hold it in anymore, so he plucked up the courage to pull over and pull his arm. When he saw him open his eyes, he quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I won't lie to you again."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, staring at her face for a while, as if he didn't understand what she was saying at all, and his face was stunned for a moment, making Su Tang stunned.

"You...you weren't angry because I lied to you?"

Chen Yi seemed to understand what she was saying after that, so he shook his head.

Su Tang was amused by his unjust expression, "Then tell me, why did I provoke you, and I made you so angry that my face turned pale."

Chen Yi frowned and shook his head deeply. After shaking it, he seemed to think that this was a problem that could not be solved by shaking his head alone. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and quickly typed a line of words and handed it to Su Tang.

——I was not angry.

Su Tang was angry and funny, staring at the person who refused to admit his guilt as soon as he opened his eyes, "You are not angry, why did you shy your face at the company's door just now?"

Chen Yi shook his head repeatedly, making Su Tang dizzy when he saw it, and he quickly patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, don't worry... I believe you are not angry first, okay? Tell me why you turned around and left when you saw me at the door of the company. You type slowly, and I'll watch."

Chen Yi calmed down a little, nodded, leaned over to Su Tang's phone, and typed quickly, as if he was afraid that if he was slower, Su Tang would change his mind temporarily and refuse to believe him.

——I’m sorry, I never thought of giving you a look. I’ve been to your company before. Some people in your company know me, and I don’t want them to misunderstand our relationship. Otherwise, when the leaders of Huazheng Group cannot do my job, they may ask you to convince me and be bad for you.

Su Tang stared at him and finished knocking this passage. He looked up at the person who was at a loss because she misunderstood. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He was both angry that he was too simple and angry that he pretended to be a clay Buddha as soon as he got on the bus. "Then why don't you pay attention to me?"

After Su Tang asked this, Chen Yi's back, which had been standing upright from the seat, suddenly became a little tighter. He was flushed on his cheeks because of his anxiety and was inexplicably fainted. He looked at Su Tang for a while before he lowered his eyes to look at the screen of his phone and slowly typed a few words.

——Is it because I got the car dirty last time that you don’t want to take my car home?

Su Tang was stunned. He had been tense for so long and was he just struggling with this alone?

Su Tang suddenly felt an unspeakable impulse in his heart. He looked deeply at the person whose face was even pale because she had no reaction for a moment. His lips were slightly pursed, his hands were raised, his fingers were bent, and he flexed his chestnut firmly on his smooth forehead.

"Well……"

Chen Yi was completely unprepared. He was stirred by the overly concentrated pain in front of him and felt a low and hoarse contemplation. The pain was so painful that tears were about to come out. He covered his forehead and stared at her.

"What are you glaring here? I'll keep you thinking about it, making me nervous with you for a long time... I'll still glar at me? I'll give you another glaring!"

Xu Chao saw Chen Yi covering his forehead and resentfully retracting his seat in the rearview mirror. He couldn't help laughing, "Sister Su, what am I talking about? Brother Chen, okay?"

Su Tang did not avoid Chen Yi's eyes that were always on her lips, and stared at the back of Xu Chao's head, "You can protect your baby!"

Before Xu Chao's laughter settled, Su Tang felt that his arm was touched lightly. Chen Yi covered his forehead with one hand and handed the phone with the other, full of confusion.

——What does belly protection mean?

Su Tang couldn't help laughing, and his eyes glared at him suddenly became much softer. He was still thinking about learning Chinese...

"It's not protecting your belly... it's protecting your calf."

Su Tang called him the word "caozi" on his mobile phone, but Chen Yi still looked serious and confused.

——What is a calf?
