The weather in April was unpredictable. A while ago, it was still clear and sunny, as if it was entering summer. However, the temperature suddenly dropped and it rained heavily these two days.
When Ruan Zhi dragged her suitcase out of the dubbing studio, it was already past midnight. She had just left the company's entrance when she saw the rain and could not help but frown. She looked down at the time a few more times and her expression became even more worried.
Raindrops fell from the pitch-black sky, as if they were going to smash into the ground and create puddles.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the rain did not show any signs of abating, she took a deep breath and opened the umbrella. She picked up the silver suitcase beside her and rushed into the rain in the strong wind.
She ran to the side of the road and waited for more than ten minutes before she stopped a taxi. As soon as she got into the taxi, she immediately said anxiously,"Sir, to the train station!"
"Alright!" The driver replied. After starting the car, he asked her,"Little girl, are you catching the train alone at this hour?”
"Yes, I got off work too late." Ruan Zhixiao smiled.”
"What's the hurry? It was not safe for a young lady to be alone at this hour. It would be better to book a ticket for the day tomorrow.”The driver advised her kindly.
"I can't help it. I'm in a hurry. I'm going to attend a friend's wedding tomorrow.”Ruan Zhi couldn't help but smile when she said this.
As soon as she finished speaking, her friend called her.
"Ah Zhi, you'll definitely come over tomorrow, right?”
"Ye Taotao, don't worry. I'll definitely rush over to your wedding no matter what!”Ruan Zhi looked down at her watch and calculated the time. She should be able to catch the train, so she could not help but feel a little relieved.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Taotao was overjoyed to hear her say this. Then, she thought of something and lowered her voice mysteriously."By the way, Ah Zhi, do you know who else is in the groomsman group? You'll definitely be surprised."
Ruan Zhi looked out of the window nonchalantly and replied,""Who is it?"
"Qi Zhan!" Ye Taotao excitedly said a name.
These two words entered Ruan Zhi's ears through the receiver and struck her heart. She felt as if her entire body had stopped moving.
Qi Zhan.
She had never thought that she would hear about him and his name in such a way after five years.
It was said that time was the best medicine to cure everything. In the past five years, she had been busy with work and dreams, so she rarely thought about anything related to this name.
Only now did she realize that he had always been in her heart and had never left.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Wasn't this too shocking? Qi Zhan! Back then, he was the idol of all the girls in our high school.”Ye Taotao's voice came from the phone again, interrupting Ruan Zhi's thoughts.
She calmed down and forced a smile." I'm quite surprised, but I heard that he's no longer in contact with his high school classmates?"”
Ye Taotao was also very puzzled." Yeah, I'm also curious. It's probably because my He Yu had a good relationship with him back then and had a lot of influence. Hahaha."”
Ye Taotao couldn't get rid of her husband.
Ruan Zhi felt helpless about this, but the topic of conversation changed.
Even after hanging up the phone, the ripples in her heart caused by the word Qi Zhan had not calmed down.
"Little girl, we're here!"
The driver's voice stunned her. She looked up and saw the train station in front of her.
In less than ten minutes, Ruan Zhi no longer had the courage to go to another city.
It was not until the driver urged her again that she got out of the car hesitantly and went to the ticket office.
She walked to the automatic ticket machine, took out her ID card, and took out her ticket. All her actions were almost like a mindless robot.
Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do.
Ruan Zhi lowered her head and looked at the ticket in her hand. It would take more than seven hours to reach C City. It was now 12:30, so she would arrive at the destination around 8 am.
In other words, she would be able to see that person in eight hours.
Just thinking about it made Ruan Zhi feel her heart tighten, and her heartbeat was like thunder.
Memories came back to her unconsciously. The pictures of Qi Zhan replayed in her mind like a slide.
The scene finally froze on Qi Zhan entering the airport and leaving without looking back.
Ruan Zhi's heart sank again as she sighed.
The corners of her mouth twitched in self-mockery, and then she fearlessly lined up to wait for the bus to check in.
Just as he got into the car and sat down, Ye Taotao called again."Ah Zhi, Ah Zhi, are you on the train?”
"Yes, if I'm not late, I should be able to arrive at 8:20 tomorrow morning.”
"That's good." Ye Taotao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she moved a little further away from the microphone as if she was whispering to someone."Don't worry, don't worry. I'm getting in the car."
Ruan Zhi felt that something was wrong.”
"What? No, I'm talking to He Yu. He thinks it's not safe for a girl like you to come over so late.”Ye Taotao hurriedly replied.
"It's fine. It's only been a few hours.”Ruan Zhi dispelled her doubts and turned her gaze to the train window.
At this moment, the train was passing by the viaduct. Looking out the window, the city was only left with colorful neon lights, embellishing the dark night sky. Raindrops pattered on the window, making people feel a chill.
"But I'm still worried about you.”"I'll get someone to pick you up tomorrow morning." Ye Taotao paused.”
"Yes." Ruan Zhixiao laughed and wrapped her coat tightly around herself. She said jokingly,""It would be even better if you could arrange a handsome single man for me!”
"Bah, in your dreams." Ye Taotao giggled.
When they arrived at C City, it was already clear and cloudless. The temperature had risen by more than ten degrees.
After getting off the train, Ruan Zhi was still sweating profusely even though she had taken off her coat and was only wearing a long sleeve.
In addition, she had been on the train for an entire night, making her look very haggard.
The few strands of hair on his forehead were soaked in sweat and stuck to his skin. His face was sallow and his dark circles were heavy.
Walking out of the station, she found the license plate number that Ye Taotao had sent last night. Then, she tilted her head and looked at the driver's seat.
Realizing that she didn't know the man inside, Ruan Zhi was relieved and adjusted her image a little before walking towards the BMW. As long as it wasn't Qi Zhan, she didn't need to care about her image.
However, when she walked over, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. With Qi Zhan's personality, no one would dare to order him to pick someone up.
"Hello, are you a friend of Ye Taotao and He Yu? I'm Ruan Zhi." She walked to the driver's window and asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes. I'm Tao Tao's cousin. She asked me to come and pick you up.”
The man smiled and quickly got out of the car to put her suitcase into the trunk and opened the backseat door for her.
"Then hurry up and get in the car. The wedding is about to start.”
Ruan Zhi nodded and bent over to enter. When she looked up, she saw another person sitting in the back seat. Her smile froze on her face and her mind went blank...
"Oh right, this is He Yu's classmate, Qi Zhan.”
