In a divorced family, his mother Su Xiaoyan soon married his stepfather Lu Tianming after divorcing his biological father Chu Tianjiao. Such a complicated family relationship made him quite taciturn.
Although because of his handsome appearance and excellent grades, his silence was even regarded as aloof by his classmates, but he was sought after by many girls.
...But Chu Zihang still can't forget the man who left him and his mother.
Today's sudden storm is like the water that washes the blackboard, washing away the layer of white covering the surface of life.
The remaining ruts on the playground at the entrance of the teaching building clearly displayed the differences between people before his eyes.
Not long ago, Chu Zihang rejected the blushing little girl in the classroom who wanted to send him home. He watched her get into a black BMW car under the care of the driver and drive into the rain. Then he saw someone under the eaves who looked like him.
The boy who had no one to pick him up hung his head helplessly, and his back looked like a squirrel caught in the rain.
Under the dark night, the people separated by this scene seemed to become extremely far away from each other.
An inexplicable emotion washed over my heart.
At this time, little Chu Zihang suddenly wanted to contact his father, whom he had not seen for a long time.
He just picked up the phone and wanted to enter the phone number that was not saved in the address book, but he remembered it very clearly.
But suddenly, he saw a man in white appearing on the playground outside the window.
He was a tall man wearing a slim-fitting white uniform, with a tall but not burly figure. He wore rimless glasses, which made him feel approachable and powerful at first glance.
But the strange thing is that in the face of the pouring rain, he didn't even hold an umbrella, and there wasn't even a trace of being wet by the rain on his body...
Like...a ghost!
Realizing this somewhat belatedly, Xiao Chu Zihang felt a chill crawling up his back, and immediately took two steps back. But his eyes swept over the kid downstairs who was still poking his head under the eaves, and he gritted his teeth.
, I immediately wanted to open the window and yelled——
However, all of Xiao Chu Zihang's vigilance and uneasiness at the moment suddenly disappeared the moment he looked into the eyes of that man.
Even though there was a long distance between them, a voice full of reassurance sounded in his ears:
"Don't be afraid, I am not a ghost or a devil."
"I'm here to find you, Chu Zihang."
...looking for me?
Shaking his head, Xiao Chu Zihang suppressed the surprise in his heart and whispered: "You... why are you looking for me?"
He didn't know the other party's identity, but his natural and pure aura made Xiao Chu Zihang subconsciously use honorifics.
But Bu Shun didn't care about this formal "politeness". He glanced at the black-haired boy under the eaves not far away and smiled slightly: "He is also with you. That's just right. Let's go together next
It would be better to leave."
After saying that, he waved to the boy: "Lu Mingfei, do you want to come with us?"
The black-haired boy, who was shivering due to the coolness brought by the heavy rain, immediately shook his head vigorously when he heard this, as alert as a rabbit coming out of its nest.
He looked longingly at Bu Shun, who was bathing in the heavy rain but not stained by the rain, and his tone was a bit stuttering: "Brother, brother, are you... the Dragon King going out? Isn't he here to ask for boys and girls as sacrifices before he stops?
This heavy rain..."
"I'm not the Dragon King, I'm just a teacher passing by."
Like magic, Bu Shun took out a blue umbrella with a cute whale print from somewhere, threw it to the boy under the eaves, and said with a smile: "You don't want to go back in the rain, right? This time
It’s raining, but it won’t stop.”
Lu Mingfei lowered his head and his expression wrinkled as he hugged the umbrella thrown by Bu Shun with both hands.
Chu Zihang took this opportunity to run from the second floor to the first floor, stood next to Lu Mingfei holding an umbrella, and looked up at Bu Shun: "You want to take us... away?"
"Call your father over." Bu Shun said casually: "Of course, I'm talking about Chu Tianjiao."
At this moment, it seemed as if something sharp penetrated Chu Zihang's heart.
A certain feeling of the past intertwining with the unknown made him tremble physically and mentally, and subconsciously he understood that he was coming into contact with something... "unknown".
In other words, it is the "truth".
Those things are closely related to his biological father, and they also hide the real reason why he abandoned himself and his mother. Chu Zihang still regards his stepfather as an "uncle" in his heart, because he has always forgotten
He couldn't stand the man who would let him ride on his neck and play horse riding. He didn't believe that man would leave him without any reason...
He kept waiting for him to explain himself, but he still found nothing.
——But now, is he going to get the answer from the person in front of him?
Nodding hesitantly, Chu Zihang quickly edited a text message on his phone and sent it to the familiar number in his memory.
Lu Mingfei stood stiffly holding an umbrella next to the cold-faced handsome guy who was famous in the school in his memory. He felt like a flower girl holding flowers at someone else's wedding, wearing funny clothes and waiting to say a few nice words.
‘No, what does this have to do with me?’ he shouted in his heart.
But a strange "feeling" prevented him from opening his umbrella and rushing into the rain, nor did he act casually like he usually did in front of his classmates.
Feeling the hard texture of the umbrella rib in his arms, the junior high school boy shrank his body cautiously and lowered his eyes hard.
After a while, he still couldn't help but said: "Then why are you looking for me?"
A violent thunder exploded in the sky, and purple electric light flashed for a moment, illuminating the dark night behind the man.
It was as if he was the master of this storm, and everything was guarding his presence at this moment.
"There are some things I want you to witness with your own eyes."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bu Shun knows that this child is very sensitive to people's attitudes, so he responded very sincerely: "Mingfei, maybe you don't understand, but you shouldn't be able to refuse"
"Real?"
"About your parents, your life experience...and yourself, the 'truth'."
"What on earth are you talking about?!" Feeling a panic for no reason, Lu Mingfei pinched his neck and shouted: "I don't understand!"
The chill brought by the heavy rain seemed to have invaded his bone marrow. Lu Mingfei had a feeling that in front of him was an abyss of eternal destruction. There was something huge, terrifying, and chilling in the abyss, watching him, waiting for him to look down.
When the time comes, he will immediately poke his head out, grab his head and drag him deeper than the eighteenth level of hell...
But that place contained the answer he had always wanted.
"You are similar." Bu Shun listened to the sound of the rainstorm in his ears, and the sound passed through the rain curtain: "No one can give you the answer, you can only fumble in a lonely corner alone."
"It's like this rain, isn't it?"
There was a long silence between the three of them.
After wiping for the third time, a low whistle sounded from the rain curtain.
Chu Zihang turned his head and looked behind Bu Shun. In the dark night, the bright beam of the car lights passed through the heavy raindrops, as if it was the only light in the whole world.
It was a pure black car with the logo of two M overlapping to form a mountain shape. Maybach 62, luxury Maybach brand, the top car among the top cars in the Mercedes-Benz field.
Whenever the wipers wiped away the rain on the front windshield for a short period of time, Chu Zihang could see the smiling face of the middle-aged man in the driver's seat, still waving to him vigorously.
Chu Zihang tightened the scarf tied around his collar.
He never understood why his father always smiled so happily, as if he had no worries at all.
Lu Mingfei stood beside him, feeling a little more envious than he even realized for the man in the top-end car who came to Chu Zihang through the dark night.
If his parents weren't so busy, wouldn't they have left him at his aunt's house, but would have driven a luxury car to pick him up on such a rainy day?
"Get in the car."
An extremely clear whisper sounded in the ears of the two of them. The two of them looked away due to the glare of the car lights and suddenly discovered that the man who had said this to them before had disappeared at some point.
"It can't really be..."
Halfway through, Lu Mingfei glanced at the umbrella in his arms, and his trembling body suddenly became less afraid.
If there really was such a handsome and amiable ghost who appeared out of nowhere on a rainy day and gave himself an umbrella just to talk to him... Lu Mingfei felt that he would be much friendlier than the people he met in life.
.
Chu Zihang gently touched him with his elbow and whispered: "Let's get in the car."
I don’t know why the man suddenly disappeared after he said he wanted to see his father.
But as long as Chu Zihang thought about it for a moment, he knew that the best choice for him and Lu Mingfei was to continue following the "route".
Lu Mingfei nodded quickly and opened the blue umbrella Bu Shun threw to them.
Two boys, one tall and one short, crowded together and ran towards the Maybach.
The man in the car also hurriedly opened the door, opened a huge black umbrella, and welcomed the two children into the car.
The man with messy hair looked at the two people who seemed to have a good relationship, and shouted happily: "You are also bringing your classmates, that's a good relationship, dad's car will be used to bring classmates!"
Lu Mingfei put away his umbrella and inserted it into the hole in the car door specially designed to store umbrellas.
He sat down on the white NAPA leather sofa and felt that he had never sat on anything so comfortable.
Chu Zihang sat next to him. After getting in the car, all the familiar feelings came back to him. The verbose man, the bright luxury car... But this car was not his. The man was just a driver, and he dressed like one.
But I will still rush to pick him up as soon as he sends the message.
The car stereo echoed with songs in foreign languages.
Seeing that the two children were seated, the man holding the umbrella walked around the car, returned to the driver's seat, and started talking: "Where does my little classmate live? We will take you back with us on the way."
I don't want to go back that much now.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
He glanced at the blue umbrella stuck on the car door next to him, still thinking about the man in white who said he would take him to witness the "reality".
