[The empty gray streets are filled with emptiness.]
[I felt a little sad, so I opened the window.]
…
Facing the rain, driving her sports car through the streets with only a few passers-by, Kim Taeyeon's eyes moved around, wondering if Lin Zengxian had left the place.
A song was playing on the radio on the car stereo. This was not the first time she heard her own song, and the song called "Rain" was not her favorite, but it sounded particularly appropriate at this time.
I impulsively agreed to go to Gunsan Port tomorrow, but now that I think about it, deep down in my heart I don’t want to go.
Lin Zengxian's invitation gave her a feeling of "showdown".
She is not afraid of a "showdown", but she doesn't want to fall into emotional "exhaustion" again.
Parking the car in front of her optical shop, Kim Taeyeon stood by the car window and looked around. Sure enough, no one was here anymore.
"That's right. You didn't say you were coming. It's normal for them to leave."
Looking away and shrugging, Kim Taeyeon laughed to herself, leaned back in her seat, and took out her cell phone out of habit.
There was a missed call from Lin Zengxian.
Her lips were slightly parted, and her originally relaxed back was tense as she left the backrest. Kim Taeyeon swayed her eyelashes, unbuckled her seat belt with one hand, unlocked the phone screen with the other, and prepared to call back.
I was walking in a hurry just now and forgot to switch my phone to ringtone mode. After getting in the car, I was focused on driving. I didn't expect Lin Zengxian to make a call at that time.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
The car window was knocked from outside.
The call back to Lin Zengxian had already been dialed. Kim Taeyeon turned to look at the car window, feeling as if a ladle of cold water had been poured into a hot oil pan, which immediately started to sizzle.
All the emotions just now evaporated the moment they entered the eyes, turning into gas that choked the brain.
It can be seen but cannot be grasped, but it has warmth.
The person standing outside and knocking on the car window was Lin Zengxian.
Kim Taeyeon immediately opened the car door a crack and signaled to Lin Zengxian that she wanted to get out. Kim Taeyeon threw her phone on the passenger seat without taking an umbrella. When Lin Zengxian stepped back and distanced herself, she opened the door and stepped out.
.
"Nonsense!"
Seeing Kim Taeyeon get out of the car without an umbrella, Lin Zengxian immediately frowned, took a big step forward, straightened his arms, and first raised the umbrella in his hand above Kim Taeyeon's head.
"Why are you here?"
Although she didn't understand the meaning of the Chinese words Lin Zengxian said, Kim Taeyeon could understand Lin Zengxian's frowning expression, the movement of Lin Zengxian straightening his arms, and she could also see that Lin Zengxian was caught in the rain.
, she raised her hand and grabbed Lin Zengxian's sleeve, pulled Lin Zengxian in her direction, and walked forward, towards Lin Zengxian.
The sky is gloomy and rain is falling, but Kim Taeyeon's eyes seem to have never been affected by the weather, just like the originally quiet lake surface under the clear sky is passed by a bird from the horizon and slowly spreads.
A circle of ripples.
Lin Zengxian stopped in his tracks and did not speak. He just looked down at her eyes and read the little joy of "from giving up to being lucky" in her smile.
The distance between the two people is too close.
Except for the time when they were on the TV station, this was the closest the two of them had ever gotten.
So close that the sound of the rain covered up the other person's breathing;
So close that the sound of the rain was covered up by his own breathing;
It was so close that the sound of breathing and the sound of rain were entangled together, and for a while it was difficult to tell which sound occupied the hearing.
"I'm here to find you."
Behind him was the heavy rain falling, and in front of him was the quiet and soft blond hair hanging down. Lin Zengxian was holding an umbrella with a silent expression, unable to retreat.
"Find me?"
A gust of wind blew over and stirred Kim Taeyeon's hair, but she remained unmoved, letting her hair cover part of her sight, sticking to her cheeks, and hanging on the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, looking for you."
Lin Zengxian raised his other hand and covered Kim Taeyeon's cheek from a polite enough distance to block the wind.
"Aren't you together...where is the junior?"
Pupils were slightly dilated, and Kim Taeyeon did not raise her hand to straighten her hair. She was still looking into Lin Zengxian's eyes, and just shook her hair so as not to block her sight.
The sound of rain is loud but also very quiet.
"I took her back to the hotel."
Looking at Kim Taeyeon's "lazy" hair tossing action and the hair stuck in the corner of her mouth, Lin Zengxian still had a silent expression. The hand on the side of her face subconsciously curled her little finger and slightly touched the air.
There is a coolness in the air that comes from the rain covering the earth, and there is warmth in the fingertips from the blood flowing from the heart.
This time, Kim Taeyeon was silent. She didn't speak. She just looked up at the person in front of her, looking at this person's eyes that still couldn't read anything. She looked at this person's eyes that were no longer paranoid about what they wanted to read.
of oneself.
Her hand was still holding Lin Zengxian's sleeve lightly, without letting go.
"You didn't reply to my message, and I didn't get through to your phone call. I guessed that you might come to see me, so I sent Nai back to the hotel first, and then came out to find you."
With a silent expression, Lin Zengxian's tone was a little low and his speaking speed was not fast, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
The cold rain fell enthusiastically, and the lazy wind became more and more rapid, unwilling to be lonely, but Lin Zengxian's hand was always steady.
Whether it's blocking the wind or holding an umbrella.
"Then what if you guessed wrong? Maybe I didn't come out to find you."
The smile gradually faded over time, and Kim Taeyeon's tone also lowered, but it was only low, as light as if she was wrapped in cotton.
"Only by seeing you or not seeing you can I prove whether I guessed right or wrong."
As if he had heard some idiot speak, Lin Zengxian, who had been silent all the time, was suddenly startled, and then smiled without warning in Kim Taeyeon's eyes.
Seeing Lin Zengxian's smile, Kim Taeyeon gave up the idea of "reading" and felt relaxed and cheerful.
"I can only see you or not see you." After reciting this sentence twice in her mind, Kim Taeyeon also laughed along with Lin Zengxian.
"Go to the car."
Leaving the last bit of a smile that he did not retract, Lin Zengxian's eyes fixed on the blond hair at the corners of Kim Taeyeon's lips.
"good."
Maintaining her unchanged smile, Kim Taeyeon noticed Lin Zengxian's hand blocking the wind and closed the distance and came closer.
The rain is like broken pearls, falling one after another very quickly.
Looking at the person in front of me, no matter how fast the rain falls, it seems to be still.
Behind Kim Taeyeon, in the car stereo of the sports car, a song called "Rain" sang to the end.
[The peaceful sound of rain makes my memories gradually blur in your rain.]
