Chapter 135 Rainstorm

In the green belts of Beijing, the most flower is the rose.

There are some in the community where Qi Nuliang lives, and a large area is also planted in the yard of his work unit.Every day when he goes to work and returns home, he takes a few steps around to take a look.Every time you look at it, you will feel that it is worthy of being the capital, and even the greenery is so beautiful.

Clusters, clusters, layers upon layers, colorful, rich colors and huge flowers, for those who are not used to seeing them, it is indeed a beauty with great visual impact.

At the beginning, the flowers bloomed one after another as if they had been negotiated.At a certain time, like popcorn in an iron pot, the garden suddenly bloomed, lush and crowded, and it was about to overflow.

When the roses are in full bloom, the city also ushers in the rainy season.

Unlike Hongcheng where the drizzle lasts for days at a time, the rain here is short and powerful, sometimes accompanied by strong winds and hail, pouring in bursts, and soon the sky clears up and the sun shows its face again.The sky washed by the heavy rain is exceptionally blue, and sometimes there are several rainbows hanging here and there.

Even the rain is so straightforward, Qi Nuliang feels that this city is even better than he imagined.It has been almost a year since he came here, and he has completely adapted to and liked the life here.

In the morning when Jiang Yu went to work, he found an umbrella: "The weather forecast says there will be showers, take your umbrella."

Jiang Yu glanced at the clear sky outside: "I don't think it will rain."

Qi Nuliang stuffed the umbrella into his bag for him: "I just got drenched a few days ago and forgot about it? Today's car has a limited number, I can't pick you up."

Jiang Yu was a little reluctant. He had already packed a three-layer lunch box in his satchel, and there were some miscellaneous things.Once the umbrella was plugged, it bulged out of shape.

"As for the rain a few days ago, the umbrella couldn't stop it, I just wanted to comfort my heart." That being said, I still didn't take out the umbrella.

"Okay, go to work, I have to go out soon."

Jiang Yu stood at the door dawdling: "...I still have something to do..."

"What's the matter?"

"...want a morning kiss..."

Qi Nuliang couldn't understand his birdsong, thought it was something he needed for work, so he backed away a bit: "You come in and get it yourself."

"You told me to take it yourself."

Jiang Yu hooked his neck, pulled him over and kissed him.

"..." After a while, Qi Nuliang came to his senses, pushed him hard, and wiped his face irritably, "Why did you go crazy so early in the morning?"

"morningkiss, good morning kiss, you asked me to get it myself."

"I..." Qi Nuliang finally realized that talking nonsense with this bastard was unnecessary.Immediately, he unscrewed the door, kicked him out cleanly, and closed the door behind him.

"Hey...brother..."

"Go to work now, you're going to be late."

He stood behind the door with his chest heaving, cursing that kid who had been going too far lately, he was almost kicking his nose and face, and he was lawless.But he just scolded a few words in his heart, and he couldn't even confront Jiang Yu face to face.Because when he said this, the bastard always said love and love, and he couldn't listen.

There is no way to stop the other party from the outside world, and when you look back at yourself, you can't think about anything.Qi Nuliang can only be an ostrich, burying his head in the sand, pretending nothing happened.

As long as he doesn't think about it, and doesn't judge, there is no right or wrong, and he can live his life in such a chaotic way.With Jiang Yu.

Qi Nuliang thought, he is still old after all, his mind is not as firm as in earlier years, his personality is not so strong, he has become cowardly and greedy, he is greedy for this peaceful and comfortable life, and Jiang Yu's care and company.

In the past days, he seemed to be sleeping on an iron bed, his body was always cold and hard, and he was born with a hard-working backbone.But now he seems to be lying on the cotton bed every day, warm and comfortable, and it makes people sink deeper and deeper.

I don't understand myself more and more.

The weather forecast is still accurate.

The forecast information said that there would be heavy rain, and the sky was still clear in the morning, but at noon, it was suddenly covered with dark clouds and the wind was raging.

Black clouds rolled in the sky, and the wind rose from the ground, rolling fallen leaves and gravel into the air. The trees were blown to one direction, and the trunks looked like bent backs.The whole city was filled with darkness, as if it had fallen into the night, and a heavy rain was coming.

After lunch, all the colleagues in Qi Nuliang's unit hurried off work.The leader passed by his window and told him that he had received a rainstorm warning, and asked him to lock the door and go home quickly to avoid rain on the road.

Qi Nuliang had just finished inspecting the empty office building, and before he could leave, the pouring rain fell.Among the bean-like raindrops, there were fingernail-sized hailstones, which crackled and slapped on the glass. The formation was really scary.

What Jiang Yu said was right, umbrellas are useless in this kind of rain.

Fortunately, this kind of showers, sputtering for a while, stopped in an hour or two.Qi Nuliang retreated back into the building and sat in the lobby waiting for the rain to stop.Feeling bored after waiting for a while, he dug out the novel he hadn't finished reading this morning and continued reading.

The novels in the software are really good, the stories are wild and unconstrained, the plots are brilliant, he likes any one, the only bad thing is that he starts to charge money when he sees it.

Those writers wrote long, with tens of millions of words in a book, and it took a few hundred to read it.Sometimes it's too expensive, so he doesn't even look at it.But the next time I couldn't help but open it, I saw that the account was filled with money.Of course he knew who charged him, and the money could not be withdrawn after depositing it, forcing him to continue watching.

After reading a story, Qi Nuliang raised his head and took a breath, the rain outside was still falling, and it didn't mean to get smaller at all.He looked at the time again, two hours had passed.

Can't the rain stop today?

Qi Nuliang got up and walked to the door, he was startled, the water in the courtyard had already covered the two steps in front of the building.Looking around, the hazy world washed by the heavy rain outside the yard also seemed to be submerged in a pond, with overflowing water everywhere.

Qi Nu has a bad conscience, this is a sign of waterlogging.

He quickly called Jiang Yu and asked him, "Where are you now?"

"Working in the company, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up and go home, it's raining heavily, and the road is full of water."

"It's raining? Our department doesn't have a window, I don't even know." Jiang Yu got up and walked to the window, looking downstairs.

"It has been raining for two or three hours, and there is water everywhere, and it may be flooded after a while. You should go home quickly."

The floor is high, and the bottom is hazy. You can only see the red light of some umbrellas and car lights, and you can't see clearly: "It's not that serious."

"I'm afraid it's really that serious." Qi Nuliang paused, "You better not leave, I'll go back now and drive to pick you up later."

"I'll go down and have a look first. Our side may not be as serious as you said."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Nuliang stepped into the water in the rain and was soaked instantly.He rushed to the gate of the courtyard with water that nearly flooded his knees, rode a shared bicycle, and headed straight for home.

The water on the road was not as deep as in the yard, but it still covered half of the wheel, and the deeper depression almost reached Qi Nuliang's buttocks.The dense raindrops were like drumsticks, and he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he just stepped on the pedals and ran all the way.

The usual 15-minute journey took only 10 minutes, and Qi Nuliang didn't have time to go back to the house when he got home, so he went straight to the garage, took out his mobile phone wrapped in a plastic bag, and called Jiang Yu.

"I'm home, you're still in the company, I'll pick you up now."

Jiang Yu was taking the elevator downstairs: "Brother, I'm coming back by myself. I checked the map on my mobile phone and said there was a traffic jam on the road."

"Then what should I do? If I don't come to pick you up, how do you come back?"

"I think taking a taxi or taking the subway, I am deeply submerged here."

Qi Nuliang's anxiety was transmitted to him through the phone: "I'm not worried, the garage in the community is flooded, and there are also deep flooded places on the road."

"It's okay, besides, it will take at least half an hour for you to come here, and I don't know how long it will be because of the traffic jam." Jiang Yu coaxed him softly, "It's okay, you wait for me at home, and I'll be back soon."

The rain showed no sign of stopping. Half an hour later, the water would definitely be deeper. If there was another traffic jam, it would be even more unthinkable.Qi Nuliang had no choice but to follow Jiang Yu's advice and go home first and wait for him to come back.

Qi Nuliang went home and took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the balcony to watch the rain.

Outside the glass, there was rain and mist, and it was still the same as a waterfall, but there was no hailstone hitting the window glass, which sounded less scary.

After a while, Qi Nuliang couldn't bear to call Jiang Yu, but he couldn't get through.

It is not easy to take a taxi on this day. It is estimated that the subway he takes often has no signal.This made him a little anxious, he kept raising his hand to check the time, and couldn't help but turn on the TV, and tuned to the local TV station to watch the news.

The news has begun to broadcast that those road sections are seriously flooded, and vehicles are asked to detour, and warnings are repeated, urging people outside to go home quickly, those at home to close doors and windows, and pay attention to houses being flooded, etc.

Suddenly, an urgent broadcast message came into Qi Nuliang's eyes, and some subway stations were temporarily closed. It is recommended that everyone not go to these subway stations to take the train, and passengers involved in related lines should also get out of the station as soon as possible.

Among dozens of subway stations, Qi Nuliang found the names of several stations on the line from his home to Jiang Yu's company.He called Jiang Yu again, his fingers trembling while pressing the keys, praying in his heart, this time he must not fail to get through.

Fortunately, the call was made, and after two busy tones, Jiang Yu answered the phone.

"Where have you been? Are you almost home?"

"Still... I... on my way." The signal was not very good, Jiang Yu's side was intermittent.

"Which subway did you take?"

Before he could answer, the phone automatically hung up without a signal.

Qi Nuliang dialed, but couldn't get through.Repeated several times, he was so anxious that he turned around.Fortunately, Jiang Yu called back at this time.

"The subway you took? Is the station flooded?"

"Well, some water has entered, how do you know?"

"I read the news. What's the specific situation on your side?"

"The subway stopped at the passage, we all got off and walked to the platform."

"Which station are you going to?"

Jiang Yu mentioned the name of the station, and there were only two stations left before their door.

"How deep is the water?" Qi Nuliang didn't have time to change his shoes, so he took the car keys and went out.

"It's okay, take the platform next to the track, it's not too deep." Jiang Yu panted, "I won't talk to you for now, I'll call you after I get out of the station."

"I'm coming to pick you up now."

Jiang Yu hesitated, but finally agreed to Qi Nuliang to pick him up: "Brother, be careful on the road."
