Rain Curtain

"The three handsome men are in the same frame, it's a visual feast for the Appearance Association! It's the New Year!"

"I know, right? Fu Ming and Xie Juan are so handsome too. The three of them looked like they were going to fight with their black umbrellas. Oh my god! What day is it today to see such a scene?"

Wen Hua and Lu Yu returned to the dormitory after dinner. Just as they were about to go out, they saw a storm in the sky. Seeing that the situation was not right, the experienced Lu Yu took her to change into slippers and went out.

In the water, they rolled up the ends of their pants and wore slippers. They were more at ease than the others.

Looking at the water flowing on the ground, Wen Hua, who liked to play with the water, was in a great mood.

Especially when she saw that half of the pants of others were wet, she felt a little childish gloating in her heart.

"Wow, Lu Yu, is the rain so heavy in Lucheng? It's so fun."

She was like a child who had never seen the world, her eyes sparkling.

The water was so much that it reached her knees. Lu Yu walked carefully with every step, afraid that the slippers would be washed away.

"No, it's just occasionally. Be careful when you walk. Be careful not to lose your slippers."

Wen Hua stood still. "It's already gone..."

Lu Yu looked down and saw Wen Hua's little green slippers floating on the surface of the water like a sailboat, going down.

Wen Hua took a step forward. "Wait for me, I'll go after them."

She hurriedly chased after the sailboat. On the way, she did not care about the stares of others. She even thought to herself, as expected, one should not be too arrogant. She was gloating just now, but now the slippers had been washed away.

Her gaze followed the slippers all the way and the distance gradually shortened. She only had eyes for the slippers and did not pay attention to anything else.

Suddenly, the slippers drifted to the middle of a pair of long legs and stopped moving.

Wen Hua took the opportunity to get the shoes.

She looked up and the first thing that came into her sight was his thin chin and smooth jaw line. Xi Mo looked down at her.

Her body was a little wet. Her beautiful brows and eyes were clear and soft in the rain water. The hair on her forehead was slightly messy and she was holding a pair of slippers in her hand. She did not look very smart.

However, she was not down and out. Instead, she had a messy and broken beauty.

He was too tall, holding an umbrella and standing in the rain, looking down from above.

"Thank you."

She nodded and was about to turn around to leave when his deep voice came from behind.

"You don't have good taste."

Wen Hua paused but did not stop.

She had bought this pair of slippers outside during the national day. They were slightly wide and looked like a frog. They looked a little silly and cute, but she liked them very much.

Looking at the girl's back as she walked away, Fu Ming held his slightly warm heart and said, "F*ck, my heart doesn't listen to me anymore."

Xie Juan said honestly, "Your white moonlight is indeed extraordinary. Look at me a few more times..."

Fu Ming looked over warily.

"I'm not going to fight with you. If I look at her a few more times, I'll give you my full support to pursue her."

Their pants and legs were wet. There were spare clothes in the wardrobe of the student union. By the time they changed and returned to class, it was already close to self-study.

The indoor broadcast was playing the lessons. Wen Hua listened to it seriously. Every time she finished listening to a question, she would reach into the desk box to see if the little guy was still there.

On her way back, she met a green bird that had not fully developed its wings by the side of the flower bed. The bird was wet from the rain and was shivering in the flower bed. It could not fly. Wen Hua guessed that it had accidentally fallen from the bird nest.

She could not leave it alone, so she brought it back to the classroom to wipe off the rain and put it in the desk box.

After listening to it, she asked her deskmate for some bread and fed it to it carefully.

Her deskmate cupped his face and looked at the bird lovingly. "It's so cute, my heart melted."

"Indeed, its feathers are beautiful too."

"This bird seems to be called the mung bean bird. Shall we call it little mung bean?"

Wen Hua's eyes curved. "I like that name."

"Are you going to raise it?"

"Let me see. It would be best if I can help it find its mother. If I can't find it, I can raise it too."

Her deskmate nodded. "But the school forbids raising small animals. You should hide it well."

Wen Hua looked up at the monitor and suddenly remembered that the student council president was sitting behind her. She immediately put the bird back into the desk box.

Xi Mo saw all of her little actions.

Her attention would turn back to the little mung bean from time to time tonight. She was worried that it would run away at any time, and she was also worried that it would be cold. She even tore some paper to make a warm little nest for it.

After that incident in the afternoon, she had distanced herself from him. He was a little tired today, so he did not ask her any questions.

The next day, Wen Hua went to the flower bed where she found the little bird to look for a nest. However, there were no bird nests in the trees within a radius of more than ten meters. She really did not know where the little mung bean came from.

Since she could not find a mother bird, she could only raise it by herself. However, raising the little bird required a birdcage and food. She had to think of a way to get out of school. The boarding students were under semi-closed management, so she had to apply for leave when she went out.

In another two days, it would be the weekend. When the time came, she would tell the homeroom teacher that she should go out to buy reference books. He would probably allow it.

For the next two days, she would temporarily raise the little mung bean in the express delivery box.

The monotonous study life was alleviated because of the little mung bean. Every day, she watched the little bird eat little by little. She felt relieved to see the baby bird grow up. With the little thing that she cared about, she returned to the dormitory more often.

Recently, things had been peaceful with Xi Mo. When he asked questions, she would explain them to him one by one. After she finished, she did not ask him if he understood like before. She only paused for a moment. Seeing that he did not say anything, she felt that this question was enough and went on to the next one.

From the beginning to the end, she was the only one who had a sense of participation. She didn't know if Xi Mo really understood, but it wasn't important. She just had to complete the task.

Moreover, when she was lecturing, she really put in all her effort. As long as he followed her train of thought, he would be able to understand. Whether he was focused or not, that was his business.

Today, after she finished lecturing, she covered her cap with her pen. "I've finished lecturing. You can practice on your own."

Xi Mo looked at her business-like attitude and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Are you that afraid of me?"

Wen Hua blinked. "No, I'm just doing what I should be doing."

To be honest, she did not hate XI Mo. In fact, it was because he had once saved her that she felt a sense of kinship with him. Even though he had always been cold.

She was a person who was very grateful to those who had helped her before, so even if Xi Mo was cold to her, she did not mind him teasing her occasionally.

Not only did she owe him a favor, but she had also taken advantage of him. His reaction was very normal to her.

It was her duty to help him with his math. Even now, she only felt that Xi Mo and she were not from the same world. There was no need for the two of them to have any other interactions.

Xi Mo said, "You have a few words written all over your body: Don't want to talk. When you forcefully kissed me on the first day, I really couldn't tell that you were so timid."

Wen Hua: "..."

How could he say such words in the classroom? His voice was not low, what if others heard him?

She looked around, but no one noticed them.

"I..." Wen Hua's eyes turned a little red. "That wasn't really a kiss."

She had only kissed his chin. He had said it so loudly that outsiders would think that she had done something beastly.

Xi Mo looked at her calmly. "Not really a kiss? Does it have to be mouth-to-mouth to be considered a kiss?"

She was speechless for a long time and her ears turned red.

The person opposite her took out the necklace at some point and caressed it with his fingers. He said nonchalantly, "I found something interesting."

Wen Hua's heart tightened.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the word carved on the crescent moon. He handed it to her. "This word is 'Hua'?"
