Chapter 25
, It rained heavily that night.
I sought refuge aimlessly in the neighborhood.
But I didn't dare run too far because I feared my parents wouldn't be able to find me when they came looking.
You see, even unloved children think of others when throwing a tantrum.
But I waited and waited for a long time.
I waited until the rain stopped, then started again, and stopped again.
The sky was pitch black.
But my parents never came to look for me.
They couldn't even be bothered to come downstairs.
Confused, I stared at the pouring rain.
In that moment, I wondered, if I disappeared or was captured by a bad person right now, would my parents even care about my life or death? Just as I was about to lift my foot to step into the pouring rain, a voice suddenly rang out, 'Zhou Mimi, why are you going out in this heavy rain without an umbrella?' I turned around at the sound.
Chen Xinghe held a black umbrella.
In the ink-black night sky, a young man in a white shirt stood tall and straight.
The rain was heavy and fast, and even though I tried to hide, I still got quite wet.
Chen Xinghe quickly came over and shielded me from the rain, furrowing his brows as he looked at me.
'Your clothes are wet,' he said.
After speaking, he swiftly took off his jacket and draped it over me, then said, 'Let's go home.' I paused in my steps.
Chen Xinghe, I feel like I don't have a home.
