Chapter 141 It's raining heavily.
Ji Xiaotong fell silent. Compared to those who can be seen, those who cannot be seen are the ones who are truly invincible!
"I'm tired, Liangjun. Can you carry me back to my room?" Ji Xiaotong didn't want to wait any longer. She had waited so long; it was time for Zhang Liangjun to pay the price.
Zhang Liangjun looked down and met Ji Xiaotong's gaze. In Ji Xiaotong's eyes, Zhang Liangjun saw a resolute determination. He bent down and wrapped his arms around Ji Xiaotong's legs. Ji Xiaotong obediently wrapped her arms around Zhang Liangjun's neck, wanting to save him some effort!
Zhang Liangjun didn't feel any strain. Ji Xiaotong was very light, and he didn't even pant when he put her on the bed.
But after putting Ji Xiaotong down, Zhang Liangjun kept panting heavily...
Qu Xiaoxiao stepped onto the street, not far from her agreed meeting place with Kong Kong. Just then, the once calm sky seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand, and a sudden gale arose. This powerful wind, like a wild horse, galloped wildly, blowing trees this way and that, like a group of dancers who had lost their balance, swaying wildly in the wind. The gale not only swept away the trees but also stirred up a cloud of dust, and for a moment, the whole world was shrouded in a dim yellow light.
Pedestrians on the road were caught off guard and were relentlessly attacked by the sandstorm. Some had to quickly raise their sleeves to cover their mouths, noses, and faces, trying to block the dense sand that was like bullets; others were not so lucky, their eyes were blinded by sand, their vision blurred instantly, and they were forced to stop and rub their eyes desperately with their hands, hoping to restore their vision as soon as possible.
However, the storm did not subside. Soon after, accompanied by bursts of thunder, the rain poured down like a waterfall, pounding the ground with a resounding crash. The raindrops pounded the earth violently, making a crisp, loud sound: "Plop! Plop! Plop!" Each raindrop seemed to contain boundless power, gathering on the ground to form small streams, which then formed puddles of varying sizes and shapes. These puddles, like mirrors, reflected the dark clouds and lightning in the sky, creating a breathtaking scene.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the wind gradually subsided, and the rain slowly stopped. The clouds began to disperse, revealing a clear blue sky. Warm sunlight shone through the thin mist, illuminating the earth. A refreshing scent filled the air, making one feel invigorated. At the same time, due to the refraction of sunlight by the moisture in the clouds, a series of magnificent rainbows quietly appeared on the horizon. They resembled giant arch bridges, spanning between heaven and earth, adorning this world, which had just weathered the storm, with a dreamlike beauty.
Qu Xiaoxiao didn't get wet; she cleverly hid inside McDonald's, where there was a back door that led directly into the mall.
"Kong Kong! I've missed you so much!" Qu Xiaoxiao hugged Kong Kong's proud body, burying her face in it.
Kong Kong didn't take it seriously. She and Qu Xiaoxiao were childhood friends and used to playing together. "Why aren't you going to see your Teacher Zhang? What are you doing here?"
During high school, influenced by Qu Xiaoxiao, Kong Kong broke away from Yao Bin's low-class group. Although her studies weren't great, she still managed to get into a second-tier university. Later, with the help of her family, she opened a chain jewelry store. Sometimes she could sell her goods through connections, and many individual customers would come to patronize her store. Business has been pretty good in recent years, and she has already opened nine branches in Shanghai, which can be considered a small success.
"Teacher Zhang is too busy to talk to me!" Qu Xiaoxiao really wanted to tell Kongkong what a wonderful spring night her Teacher Zhang was having, but a secret is a secret precisely because the fewer people who know, the better, so Qu Xiaoxiao held back! She subtly changed the subject: "Kongkong, I heard you've been going on blind dates lately? How's it going?"
"Don't even mention it! They're all immature men, you know what I mean? Immature!" Kong Kong lay on the table, resting her chin on her hands, and said with some melancholy, "You're always nagging me about your Teacher Zhang, making me unconsciously compare every man I see to Teacher Zhang! Qu Xiaoxiao, it's all your fault, I've never even had a boyfriend!"
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, "Then I'll give you a boyfriend instead!"
…………
Ji Xiaotong wasn't particularly tired. Just like with Guan Juer, Zhang Liangjun hadn't gone completely mad this time. The only one truly hurt was Andy.
"How did you find out about the fortune teller?" Ji Xiaotong originally thought that no one would know the truth, but she didn't expect Zhang Liangjun to know everything.
Zhang Liangjun pointed to the sky, "If you want to investigate, there are eyes everywhere!"
Ji Xiaotong shifted to a more comfortable position and lay down, tracing circles on Zhang Liangjun's stomach with her fingers. "No wonder Andy said you could endure so much. After all these years, I'm only now realizing how incredibly resilient you are!" She then pinched Zhang Liangjun's belly hard with her fingers at the end.
"I never expected you to be so ruthless! You made your life sound so insignificant!" Zhang Liangjun pinched Ji Xiaotong's earlobe, but found that she hadn't taken off her earring. He nimbly removed the earring with his fingers and placed it on the bedside table.
Ji Xiaotong took off her other earring and handed it to Zhang Liangjun. "That's actually what I really think! Liangjun, you know my past. I feel like I'm a bad omen, so I said I wouldn't marry you. But I want a child. I heard that even if someone is unlucky, it won't affect the child."
Zhang Liangjun felt that Ji Xiaotong was just superstitious, but it's hard to wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep. Besides, Ji Xiaotong's belief might just be a source of longing and a belief that keeps her going.
The conversation didn't continue. Zhang Liangjun got up and went to the balcony, opened the curtains, and looked out through the French windows at the torrential rain. The rain was blown by the wind, forming blurry shadows in the air, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Only the streetlights stood alone in the rain, resisting the wind and rain.
Ji Xiaotong, now dressed in her pajamas, came over and hugged Zhang Liangjun from behind. "You... are you thinking about her again?"
Zhang Liangjun hadn't expected Ji Xiaotong to be so perceptive, so he remained silent, which was tantamount to acknowledging the matter.
"Can you tell me about her?" Ji Xiaotong asked Zhang Liangjun persistently, even though she didn't get a response.
Zhang Liangjun slowly shifted his gaze from the splashes of water on the ground, then slowly raised his head, looking up at the gloomy, oppressive sky above. In this pitch-black night, the already dim sky was now completely obscured by thick clouds, as if a giant black curtain had shrouded the entire world, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate it. The clouds were so thick and dense that the entire sky looked like a pool of thick ink, a deep and endless darkness filled with endless unknowns. "Xiaotong, do you believe that beyond this world, there are other worlds?"
"Are you talking about parallel universes? That's just a hypothesis, there's no way to prove it."
"Perhaps it really exists. I once had a dream, a very long dream, in which my name was Chen Yu..."
