C70 (1/2)

Sheng Liang poured some tea for the two of them, and did not look up: ”You have a bad stomach, it's better to eat something light.”

It was just a simple sentence, and Sheng Liang probably didn't mind it too much, but when Qiao Xuan heard it, he couldn't help but think of it.

But she knew that that was impossible. Sheng Liang had simply treated her as a friend.

The phone rang again. Qiao Xuan took a look and saw that it was Sheng Qian's phone. He was already at the restaurant.

”What's wrong?” Seeing Qiao Xuan staring at his phone in a daze, Sheng Liang asked lightly.

Qiao Xuan immediately kept his phone: ”Nothing.”

After the two of them finished eating, an hour had passed. Hearing that it seemed like thunder outside, Sheng Liang said, ”Let's go back, it's going to rain in a while.”

Qiao Xuan nodded, picked up his bag and followed him out, but who knew that the moment he went out, the rain had already started to fall.

Although it was not pouring rain, it was already past dawn. Once it rained, the temperature would plummet, causing Sheng Liang to tremble as he took off his jacket and draped it over her.

Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked at him, wanting to reject him, but Sheng Liang held his hands down: ”Wear it, don't catch a cold.”

Although it was very close, it was still a distance away from the company. Sheng Liang looked at the pouring rain and said to Qiao Xuan: ”Don't work overtime tonight, I'll drive the car over here and then go home.”

Qiao Xuan also felt that it was impossible to work overtime, but even if they went to the car park, it would still rain. She subconsciously grabbed Sheng Liang's clothes and said, ”How about we wait for the rain to subside before you drive?”

Sheng Liang did not object, the two of them stood outside the cafeteria under the awning, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness between heaven and earth.

”It's raining. Let's go.” A few couples came out, each holding up an umbrella, and ran in different directions.

Seeing them push and squeeze each other just now, Sheng Liang unconsciously pulled Qiao Xuan closer to him. When they left, the two of them realised that their bodies were already sticking together.

”Thank you.” Qiao Xuan swept his hair and stealthily dodged to the side.

Sheng Liang noticed her movements, but did not say a word. When she turned her head, something flashed past her eyes.

The phone in Qiao Xuan's bag kept on ringing, but the rain was too loud for her to hear.

”Did you guys not take the umbrella? There's only one left in the store, you guys can take it.” The manager of the restaurant came out, holding an umbrella in his hand, he gave it to Sheng Liang.

They looked at each other, thanked the manager, and Sheng Liang said: ”Wait here for me, I'm going to drive.”

When Qiao Xuan wanted to give him the outer garment, Sheng Liang had already rushed into the rain. However Qiao Xuan saw from behind that the rain was too heavy, the umbrella would not be able to help him at all, causing Sheng Liang's clothes to instantly become completely wet.

Qiao Xuan stood in place, looking at the place where Sheng Liang had already disappeared in the heavy rain, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Sheng Liang drove the car over, holding onto the umbrella as he took Qiao Xuan over, trying his best to not let her get drenched by the rain.

Sheng Liang was drenched from head to toe, even though there was a warm wind blowing on the carriage, Sheng Liang's lips were almost transparent.

However, he still gave a towel to Qiao Xuan: ”Wipe your hair dry, be careful not to catch a cold.”

Qiao Xuan received it, but did not move it for a long time.
