Chapter 149 Waiting for the rain, but no one
The weather in London is cloudy and sunny.
When Xie Yuqing got off the train, the sky was still sunny. As soon as she took a taxi to Primrose Hill, there was a mist that blocked out the sun.
I heard that the spring here is full of light yellow primrose flowers, but it is already winter, the mountains are full of bare branches, there are not many tourists, and the mist makes it feel like a thriller.
Xie Yuqing was completely unaware of it. From the beginning of the climb, she paid close attention to the tourists coming and going around her.
When she arrived at the appointed place, she was already extremely nervous.
It was obviously getting colder, but her back was sweating.
From where she stood, she could originally see the whole of London, but due to the fog, the whole city was filled with intersecting fog.
Not far from her is the stone viewing platform, which is engraved with a poem written by the British poet William Blake: I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill.
I talked to the Sun God, and I saw him here on Primrose Hill.
Xie Yuqing was thinking that she might not be able to see the sunset today, when she suddenly heard movement behind her.
She turned around and saw a young man with an Asian face walking towards her with a camera on his back.
Xie Yuqing was a little nervous for a moment, but the other party walked straight over to the center of the slope and took pictures of the scenery in a professional manner.
not him.
Although Xie Yuqing didn't see Aric's face, she recognized his temperament.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, another couple walked past her, chatting and laughing.
Followed by a few tourists who packed up their picnics and prepared to go back.
After waiting for a while and not seeing anyone waiting, Xie Yuqing took out her phone and checked the time.
Aric is late.
Twenty minutes have passed since their scheduled time.
Are you stuck in a traffic jam?
Xie Yuqing couldn't help but click on her Facebook friends.
The latest message was the specific address she sent last night. There was no reply and it was shown as unread.
Going forward, he still said "ok".
She hadn't bothered him too much these past few days because she was rushing to hand in her homework, but now she realized that Aric hadn't been online for several days.
A bad thought suddenly flashed through Xie Yuqing's heart, and her excitement cooled down.
【Vita Xie: Are you on the way?】
After putting down her phone, she felt less nervous and anxious and found a place to sit down.
The fog gradually became heavier, and the clouds seemed to swallow up the entire sky.
Xie Yuqing felt drops of water falling. She didn't bring an umbrella, and the cold wind blew through her clothes, making them wet and cold.
The tourists around have almost left.
There was something sharp and sharp in the air that made her tremble all over, but she didn't dare to move even half a step away.
Unconsciously, there was water on the grassy slope. Night had fallen and the rain was getting heavier. The street lights in the distance penetrated the fog and dimly reflected shadows on the ground.
Down the slope not far away, a figure limped up the slope in the heavy rain.
The clothes on his body were torn in many places, his arms were shaking slightly, and blood mixed with rainwater kept dripping down.
But when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the slope, he suddenly stopped and leaned against the sycamore tree, not daring to go any further.
As if he was a little surprised that she was still here, a complex look of struggle flashed across his eyes.
The unprecedented emotion made him dizzy. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the complicated and indistinguishable flickers in his eyes gradually settled down.
The back of the girl on the slope was delicate, and the slanting rain was hitting her body. A storm was coming, but she didn't know what she was thinking, and she endured it silently without moving.
He stared at her deeply.
Didn't come near, didn't leave.
Then he sat down and felt the wound on his leg, which was painful to the bone.
But he didn't even frown, he just leaned against the plane tree and looked at her from the bottom of the slope.
