She ran to my side of the awning in the rain, stood with me, and said to me at the same time: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
I looked at her in a daze and said, "Why are you here?"
"I have been following you just now, but it suddenly rained, so I went back and installed an awning on the car."
I also just discovered that her shiny electric motorcycle has an extra awning, which was not there before.
But that's not the point. I asked her again: "Why are you following me?"
"When we were eating just now, I felt that your mood was a little wrong, and you didn't let me take you outside to take the car. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to think about it, so I kept following you."
I don't know why, but I felt a little touched in my heart.
I took a long breath, smiled and said, "You came just in time. I don't know how to go back yet."
"Look, I told you, this place is far away from the city, so it's not easy to take a taxi."
"I didn't expect it to rain. I was going to go back after walking for a while, but I didn't expect to go this far in just a short walk."
Zhou Qian also smiled lightly and asked me again: "Are you encountering anything troublesome?"
"That's right. It's okay. I just couldn't figure it out suddenly. I've figured it out now."
"Then I'll take you to the city."
I looked at the small electric car on the side of the road. It was the only means of transportation that would allow me to go back.
I didn't hesitate and nodded to her, "Okay, I'll bother you."
"It's no trouble, let's go."
I followed her and got on her little electric car. After I sat down, she turned the switch.
The rain is still falling, but not as heavy as before.
There was already a lot of water on the road, and the road itself was quite bumpy, so it was quite difficult for her little electric donkey to drive.
And coincidentally, at this moment, her little eDonkey suddenly ran out of power.
It just stopped halfway, Zhou Qian said "Oops" and complained to herself: "Oops! I forgot to charge it, it's over now."
It seems that tonight is really destined to be no ordinary night. I am no longer so anxious. Instead, I feel that this may be a part of life.
After I got off her electric donkey, I raised my head and glanced at the urban area not far away. I could already see the lights of the city.
I said to Zhou Qian: "It's okay. Don't blame yourself. It looks like we're not far from the city now."
"It's not far, but it's still raining now. It's all my fault. I just wanted to pick you up and forgot to check the battery."
I smiled and said to her, "Don't blame yourself. I'm very touched that you came to pick me up in such heavy rain. It's okay."
"Then... why don't you go to my place to take shelter from the rain first, and I'll charge the battery while I'm at it. I'll take you to the city when the rain stops."
As if this was a good idea, I looked around again and asked her, "Do you live near here?"
"Well, it's not far ahead."
"Okay, but what do you do with your car?"
"I'll push it." She got off the car without hesitation, and then pushed the electric car forward.
It was pitch dark, and the muddy road made it very difficult to walk with bare hands, let alone push an electric car.
I said to her: "Why don't you park the electric car here and push it again when the rain stops."
"I have to push it back to charge, otherwise when the rain stops, you will have to walk a long way to get a car."
"It's okay. Just listen to me and stop here. Leave me alone."
At my insistence, Zhou Qian finally parked the electric car on the side of the road, and then took me quickly to her residence.
After walking for about a few minutes, I followed her to a block. The street was not big and looked like a small town waiting for demolition.
When I followed Zhou Qian to the entrance of a corridor, I stopped.
Zhou Qian also stopped, looked back at me and said, "Brother Chen, why don't you leave?"
I looked at her and smiled, and then said calmly: "Zhou Qian, I have been following you here. In fact, I am willing to give you another chance. Are you sure you really want to continue?"
Zhou Qian looked at me blankly, paused for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, what do you mean?"
I still said with a smile: "Or do you think I am a fool?"
She didn't speak anymore, but her eyes gradually became a little stiff when she looked at me.
I added: "If you don't want to tell the truth, let me tell you! You approached me with a purpose, right?"
She suddenly glanced at me, her eyes a little complicated, as if she was surprised.
Yes, I had noticed it a long time ago. It was not such a coincidence that she met me right there.
We haven't contacted each other for so long. It's impossible for her to show up suddenly. Even if she wanted to thank me, she could just call me.
But after so long, she hasn't contacted me. She said she dropped her phone, which is just an excuse.
Including the attitude of the people in her village towards her, it said everything.
After a very long silence, she finally stopped hiding it and said with a sneer: "How did you see that?"
"It's not hard to see that you think I'm too mentally retarded. In fact, I've been suspicious of your purpose since you appeared."
"Then...why are you still going to dinner with me?"
"I just want to know what you want to do? Who asked you to approach me?"
She was silent.
I smiled again and said, "Let me guess, is it Wen Zhaorong?"
She shook her head and said, "I don't know who Wen Zhaorong is."
Her expression seemed to be that she really didn't recognize her. Of course, I was just guessing. If I had known who sent her to approach me, I wouldn't have gone to dinner with her.
"Okay, let's not talk about who asked you to come close to me. Let's talk about the purpose of asking you to come close to me."
She lowered her head, as if it was difficult to speak.
"Still don't want to say it? Zhou Qian, I gave you a chance, are you sure you want to stick to it?"
She said in a deep voice: "You are right. I did have a purpose in coming to you, but I can't say... just leave. I'll pretend I never came to see you."
I laughed: "Do you think it's really that simple? Who was your instruction?"
"Don't force me, I'm already humble enough."
"Don't look pitiful in front of me. I know you are pitiful, but that's not the reason why you came to harm me."
"I haven't harmed you yet. You can leave. I swear I will never appear in front of you again."
"So, you will never tell me who asked you to get close to me?"
She nodded and said with unwavering eyes: "I really can't tell you, I can only tell you the purpose of approaching you."
I took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, then what is your purpose of getting close to me?"
"Create a scandal for you and make you a rapist!"
I looked at Zhou Qian in disbelief and said, "So, you are trying every possible means to get me to go to your place, just because you want to take the opportunity to have something happen with me and then take a video?"
Zhou Qian was no longer silent, she nodded and replied: "Yes, now you know everything, let's go, let's go..."
"Can you tell me why? If you don't want to say who asked you to do this, then tell me why you agreed to that person, okay?"
