On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

In a daze, Su Yuqing opened her eyes.

A sudden downpour of rain filled the air, and the sky was already dark.

I don't know if it's because of the rain or because it's so late.

Boom!

With a flash of thunder, Su Yuqing immediately snapped out of her daze and became fully alert.

She was startled to find that the surrounding environment, illuminated by the lightning, was strangely familiar.

Isn't this near Chen Mo's house?

She quickly realized that she was just dreaming.

Just as Su Yuqing was wondering why she had such a dream, she was shocked to see another version of herself standing at Chen Mo's door with a conflicted expression.

This scene felt strangely familiar to her.

This was the rainy night that brought the light of hope into his world.

I was just like Su Yuqing is now, feeling very flustered.

After a moment of inner struggle, Su Yuqing seemed to have finally made up her mind and gently rang the doorbell.

A short while later, the handsome boy opened the door, just as I remembered.

Only then did Su Yuqing realize that her body trembled uncontrollably the moment she saw him.

This scene appeared cold to Chen Mo, but only she knew how excited and flustered she was at that moment.

"Student Chen Mo...

"Water droplets trickled down Su Yuqing's hair and into her collar, and familiar voices rang out.

"I heard...

your parents are out on business, and you're home alone...

" Her eyelashes were dripping with moisture, and she mustered up the courage to speak out the words she'd practiced so many times.

"Can...

I stay at your house for a few days?

I'm not staying for free.

I can help with the housework or something...

to make up for it.

"Upon hearing herself utter that familiar line, Su Yuqing's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

At that time, she was truly in the deepest despair.

If there was even one place in the world that was willing to treat her like family, she would be willing to give up everything, even herself.

Her longing for a home had driven her to the brink of obsession.

The various misdeeds of the family of origin can cause devastating harm to a child.

When both body and mind are simultaneously ravaged, it is inevitable that various extreme thoughts will arise.

Just as Su Yuqing was lost in her memories, something unexpected happened to her.

"Are you serious?

" Chen Mo looked at "her" with a surprised expression.

Su Yuqing nodded.

Chen Mo looked incredulous.

What reason could a campus beauty like Chen Mo have to come to his house in the pouring rain?

Something was definitely amiss.

He asked in surprise, "Su Yuqing, you didn't lose a game of Truth or Dare and are now playing a trick on me, did you?

""No, no," Su Yuqing hurriedly shook her head, "I mean it.

"She looked up at Chen Mo, and the moment he saw her sincere eyes, Chen Mo suddenly believed her words for no apparent reason.

His heart skipped a beat.

He looked "her" up and down, now completely soaked.

Seeing her barely visible bra, Chen Mo felt his blood rush to a certain place.

He suddenly realized that just the girl standing in front of him like this was already making him somewhat uncontrollable.

If he really let her move in, in his current state, he might do something bad to her.

If my parents found out, they'd break my legs!

In order not to hurt Su Yuqing, and also not to hurt himself, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to take her in.

"It might not be convenient for you to stay at my house, but did you run out of money and get caught in the heavy rain and can't get home?

How about I take you home?

I can call a taxi, it'll be quick.

"Looking at the scene before her, Su Yuqing was filled with confusion.

Why was the plot unfolding so differently from what she had experienced?

Even so, both she and the "she" in front of her expressed their understanding of Chen Mo's determination.

From Chen Mo's perspective, if a girl suddenly comes to his door asking for shelter late at night, the best option is to take her home or to the police station.

After all, in this situation, either the other person has encountered some trouble, or the other person is trying to scam you.

An ordinary high school student can't handle this kind of thing.

Chen Mo's choice is understandable.

"No need, it's too much trouble for you.

" Su Yuqing shook her head.

In fact, she didn't want to go home, or rather, she was already homeless.

Because of him, his mother stabbed Uncle Li Gang and drove him away with a face full of resentment.

How can I ever go back to this house?

At her father's house, her sister and aunt despised her.

How could she possibly go back to that home?

Taking her home is simply impossible.

Because she no longer has a home!

"No trouble at all.

Wait a moment, the rain is too heavy.

I'll get you a raincoat.

"Chen Mo revealed a sunny smile, which instantly warmed the hearts of Su Yuqing and "Su Yuqing," causing them to feel a pang of sadness.

In this state of despair, only seeing his smile could bring me some comfort and healing.

But at this moment, this smile is clearly not something I can possess.

Su Yuqing silently said "Thank you, Chen Mo" to Chen Mo's retreating figure, then turned and left, rushing into the rain.

She didn't want to reveal how broken her family was in front of the boy she liked.

She was very grateful and happy that Chen Mo offered to take her home.

This shows that he still cares about himself.

But the more she thought about it, the less she could bear to see Chen Mo living such a miserable life.

Watching herself suddenly run away, Su Yuqing instantly felt a sense of empathy, even though she herself had never experienced being refused shelter by Chen Mo.

But at this moment, she could feel the thoughts and feelings of the "Su Yuqing" who had run away with incredible clarity.

Seeing Chen Mo, who had returned home, taken out a raincoat and umbrella, and looked around in surprise at the door, Su Yuqing's eyes suddenly stung, and tears streamed down her face.

Su Yuqing felt guilty for letting Chen Mo down.

Even though Chen Mo didn't take her in, she didn't have any resentment in her heart.

In fact, she was very grateful for his offer to escort her home.

However, Su Yuqing was very curious at this moment: what would she have done if Chen Mo hadn't taken her in that night?

Immersed in Chen Mo's radiant happiness, she had almost forgotten the state of her heart during her darkest moments.

Just as she was thinking this, the scene before her suddenly changed, and she found herself moving alongside Su Yuqing.
