"Oh right." I suddenly remembered something, "You said Rinquanchuan contacted you?"

"Yeah, her tone was a little weird and intermittent. She must be sick..." Ye Hui said after thinking for a while.

It's probably not that I'm sick, but I'm just shy and nervous about asking someone else for help... well.

"Then, can you give me her contact information?"

I asked this.

"Rin's cell phone number? Sure."

As expected, Ye Hui agreed readily and took out his cell phone from his schoolbag.

"Rin...Rin...ah, I found it." She quickly found Rinquanchuan's number, but didn't read it to me. Instead, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said to me: "Come to think of it...I don't know your cell phone number, Sheji."

"Huh? Ah...yeah..."

Wait, this line... could it be that? The legendary exchange of contact information?

"Can you tell me? In exchange, I will also tell you my cell phone number." He said with a natural smile.

"Of course..."

How could I refuse, unless I have a mental problem.

I also hurriedly took out my phone, wanting to tell Ye Hui my contact information. Oh, right, I didn't even remember my phone number... Because since I got a phone, no, even before I got a phone, no one has ever asked me for contact information, so...

"Well, give me your number first. I'll call you and you can save my number... I can't remember my number, haha..."

I scratched my cheek a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, okay then, my number is..."

Chapter 20: Raindrops dripping on the winter eaves

I opened the familiar refrigerator and reached into it as usual when I couldn't see inside, but I didn't touch the cold metal cans as usual.

"No way..."

I muttered to myself, hoping that it wasn't true... When I looked inside the refrigerator, I realized that the drinks were really finished.

After hesitating for a second, I decided to give up eating instant noodles and go out to eat, and replenish the refrigerator when I came back.

As I was leaving the house, I checked the time on my phone. It was 17:35 PM. It was already getting dark, and night would soon be here. However, in this day and age, apart from power outages, it's rare for people to experience true darkness...

"竜神の剣を喰らえ!"

The text message notification sound suddenly rang. It was a message from Ye Hui.

"Are you home yet? The weather forecast says it's going to rain today, so remember to bring an umbrella if you go out. Please take care of yourself."

Ha, thank you so much... I feel a warmth I've never felt before. Today is my lucky day, right? Absolutely, right?

But I still hope it doesn’t rain today. I didn’t bring an umbrella. I have already walked quite a distance and it would be very troublesome to go back... In short, I still hope it doesn’t rain.

When I was about to turn off the phone screen, I thought about it and opened the address book to look at another newly added name.

"Rinquan River"

I put my finger on the dial key, but even though my finger was shaking, I didn't press it.

Seriously... I can dial the number with just one click, but for some reason, I still don't have the courage to press it...

Is she avoiding me? Or maybe everyone else who's putting expectations on her?

However, I must tell her now that she no longer needs to worry about the expectations imposed on her by others. Although it is not possible for people to always do things according to their own temperament, they should always do something they like.

From her usual performance and behavior, we can tell that Rinquanchuan has a wide range of hobbies. In addition to reading, she should also play various games... Well, for her family, doing these things must be considered as not doing her job properly... What kind of mentality does she have to insist on doing things that are not supported by the people around her?

Does her seemingly weak body hide a light-hearted heart, or a heart that seems strong but is actually more fragile than her body?

I don't know the answer to this question, and I don't want to speculate. In short, I still lack something in order to have a serious communication with Linquanchuan.

To be precise, it is a lack of courage.

.............................

While I was eating, I heard the sound of rain.

It seems that I am not lucky enough today... I might as well buy another umbrella when I get to the convenience store. Besides, I don’t have many umbrellas at home, so it’s no problem to buy one.

I walked out the door and looked at the rain...it wasn't too heavy, but it would definitely be difficult to walk home.

Fortunately, there were many eaves in this area, so we arrived at the convenience store without getting caught in much rain.

Maybe because of the time and weather, there weren't many people around. But I did see a familiar figure, and of course he saw me and greeted me.

"Hey, isn't this Sheji? Hello." Senior Su greeted me with a smile.

"Ah... hello, I didn't see you today." I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen him.

"Because I'm already a senior in high school and facing the college entrance exam, it's normal that I don't have much time to participate in club activities. However, I will still go if I have time... Well, how are the club activities?"

"It's okay...it's going pretty normal." I thought about it and replied.

"That's good."

He picked up the selected items and went to check out. I hurriedly picked up a small box of drinks and followed him, and also took an umbrella.

"Where are you going, Senior?"

If he and I were on the same route... maybe I could ask him what to do next, or see how different people would solve the problems I encountered.

"I can go anywhere." He smiled and said, "Do you have any questions for me?"

"...Yes, it is..."

Although I don't know how he saw it, I didn't feel surprised inside...that's the feeling he gave me.

"Then let's talk as we walk."

As he said this, he opened the umbrella he was carrying.

..........................

"Is this the case..." Senior Su looked into the distance while holding an umbrella and thought for a moment, "Actually, all we need to do is dial the number."

"Huh? No way, I haven't even thought of what to say to her."

I cannot accept this answer.

"Well, Sheji, let me ask you, when you talk to someone, do you always have a plan in mind for what you're going to say and say it word for word? Surely not?"

"Yeah. This one is..." I nodded.

"So, when you're talking to someone, unless they're a thoughtful and cunning person, you just need to have a general direction for the conversation."

"But..." I still felt a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing to worry about." He pointed to his heart. "Aren't you always thinking about that person? In that case, just tell that person what you're thinking. The problem will definitely be solved."

Senior Su still looked relaxed.

"It's not that simple..." I retorted somewhat unconvincedly.

"Don't you understand?" He pointed his finger at my heart again. "The only thing that can move people is their hearts."

........................

Take a deep breath.

Open the address book and find Linquanchuan's number.

Take another deep breath...ok...

I clicked the number with trembling fingers, and watched the phone jump to the dialing screen. My heart beat faster and faster, and then I took a deep breath.

"Click" the sound of the phone being connected rang out.

Exhale...

"Is this the Rinsenkawa...house?" I asked.

“…” “Pah.”

Ah, he hung up. Judging from this behavior, it must be Rinsenkawa... Well, since I've made up my mind, it's okay to call him again...

"Hey..."

"If you call again, I'll sue you for harassment." Lin Quanchuan's cold voice came, and then he hung up the phone.

Well, he actually spoke, which meant there was a chance... So I called for the third time. The fact that he actually got through meant that Rinquanchuan actually still hoped I would call... I guessed that.

"What are you doing, you harasser! I don't want to hear your voice anymore!"

"Wait, don't hang up yet. I'm not trying to harass you. I just heard you were sick... and I'm a little... worried." I always feel more embarrassed talking to the phone than talking to her in person...

"......" There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, the words "Who wants you to worry?" were heard.

Very good...I didn't hang up...I can talk properly now.

"Um, Rinquanchuan, are you listening?"

"I'm listening. If you have anything to say, just tell me quickly." His tone immediately returned to his usual coldness.

"Regarding the cooperation with the drama club mentioned last time, I have already persuaded your sister, Rin Hanekawa, to give up, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. She won't ask you to participate in any activities anymore."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone, no answer.

"Well, if you don't want to talk, then just listen to me." I sorted out my thoughts a little. "Don't think I'm nagging or saying old things. In fact, whether it's parents or people around you, it's normal to have expectations of yourself. They often give us expectations with the intention of not letting us take detours or change our bad habits in their eyes. Because in their eyes, we are just a piece of jade that cannot be made into a useful object. They want us to become normal objects, so they give us all kinds of restrictions... It can't be said that this is wrong, but it's not just you. I also think this is wrong. Because we have our own thoughts. Whether it's you or me, we have people we want to be and things we want to do.

So, you should stick to what you like, whether it's tea ceremony or games, just do it if you like it. Even if the people around you don't support you, I will support you, and I know you are very good. Even if you think you are not as good as Rin Hanekawa, I still think you are great.

You're well-educated, good-looking, have good grades, are the president of the tea ceremony club, and your family background is much better than mine. So there's absolutely no need to feel inferior to someone, because everyone in this world is different, so there's no comparison at all.

Well... I'm sorry for saying so much... Anyway, not only me, but Yehui, Lingcan and others are all very worried about you, so if you are well, please come back as soon as possible. Because the Tea Ceremony Club is your club... I... I don't think I have had the tea you made for several days. "

I finished what I was going to say and waited silently for a response.

“…” Still silence.

"Um...are you still there, Rinquanchuan?"

"Ah, I just wanted to take medicine, so I went downstairs. So you are still here." Rinquanchuan replied.

...Huh?! So...what I just said is...

"But..." Rinquanchuan added, "I did hear your last words. Don't worry anymore, I'll be back tomorrow."

"That's great." A smile appeared unconsciously on my lips.

"It's because of Lingcan, not because of you."

"Yes...I understand."
