It was still afternoon at the wishing place, and she didn't go out to play in the street with her colleagues, but stayed alone in the apartment, planning to video chat with her boyfriend later.

Hearing the "video chat", Zuo Yuhang watched the rain in front of the car unabated, and the car was driving slowly on the road, he had no choice but to say: "It will take a while, I will be home soon."

"Is it raining in Nancheng?" Wishing was a bit surprised when he heard the sound of raindrops hitting the car window.

I have lived in Nancheng for more than [-] years, and it is rare for me to encounter rain on New Year's Eve.

Zuo Yuhang turned the steering wheel and replied, "Yes."

Wishing to listen to the voice on the phone, the rain seems to be heavy, she said worriedly: "Then drive well first, don't chat, and be careful when it rains."

"Okay, I'll message you when I get home."

Probably because of getting off today and encountering multiple traffic lights, it took him a quarter of an hour longer than usual when he turned into the street closest to his home.

Zuo Yuhang directly parked the car in the parking space. Fortunately, he made a wish to leave an extra umbrella in the car, but today it saved him from getting drenched in water.

It was only a few steps away from the parking space to the door of the house, the wind blew the rain and the umbrella swayed, and the outside of his coat was instantly soaked by the rain.

The sensor light at the door of the house turned on with the sound of his footsteps, but Zuo Yuhang paused and was stunned for a few seconds.

There was a man sitting on the doorstep.

The man huddled into a ball, buried his head in his armpit, and his wet hair, which was shining brightly from the lamp, hung over his shoulders.

He stared at the man, took another step forward, and called out uncertainly: "Wei Ning?"

The woman raised her face, her complexion was pale, and there was only a trace of blood left on her lips, like a sick person, but the moment she saw him, her eyes lit up.

She was wearing a coat, but it seemed that she was drenched in the rain, Zuo Yuhang saw her appearance, and asked inexplicably, "Why did you...?"

What he wanted to ask at first was "Why are you at my door", but he realized that this hurt someone just after he said a few words, and seeing Wei Ning's pitiful appearance, he didn't know what happened, so he tactfully some.

"I... I just..." Wei Ning said intermittently, while making gestures to stand up first, but probably because she sat for too long, her legs and feet were numb, and she was about to fall to the side as soon as she bent her legs and got up.

It was impossible for Zuo Yuhang to just watch her fall, and hurriedly reached out to grab her arm to make her stand firm first, and then without waiting for her to explain, he said directly: "I'll take you home first."

Because he leaned over to support him just now, Wei Ning took advantage of the opportunity to take a few steps closer and stood beside him.

She looked up at the man, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and said cautiously: "Grandma will be worried if I go home like this. Can I... wash at your house first before leaving?"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to be shivering from the cold again.

Zuo Yuhang was unable to say what he was about to refuse. He let go of her arm and turned around to open the door without saying a word.

As for Wei Ning at the back, although she looked miserable, she didn't feel sad at all, instead the pear dimple was looming at the corner of her mouth.

It's not the first time Wei Ning has come to Zuo's house, but it has been nearly six years since the last time.

Zuo Yuhang took her to the bathroom of the guest room, where there were disposable toiletries.

"That...clothes, can I borrow it first?"

Wei Ning took off her coat, and there was only a close-fitting white lining inside. At this time, she was a little bit see-through from the rain, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the man who was about to leave, and said a little embarrassedly.

Zuo Yuhang looked away silently and looked at the ground, then nodded very coldly: "Wait a minute."

"Okay." Wei Ning seemed to have just realized her situation at this time, with a bit of shame on her face, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Not long after, Zuo Yuhang brought the clothes from upstairs and handed them to her: "This is new, there is no need to return it."

When he turned to leave, he left another sentence: "I'll take you back after you wash up."

Because of Wei Ning's sudden appearance, he also forgot to reply to Wish for a while.When he remembered again, he had already received several questions from his girlfriend on WeChat.

【are you home yet? 】

【Have you arrived yet? 】

[It's been more than half an hour, and it hasn't arrived yet]

[Let's drive slowly in the rain]

【…】

【Not here yet】

【Remember to message me when you arrive】

Zuo Yuhang flipped through the chat history that she swiped the screen, and felt a little apologetic in his heart. He made an appointment with her and replied when he got home, but it was delayed for a long time, which made her worry in vain.

【It's here, just something happened temporarily】

To make a wish should be in front of the phone. As soon as he replied on one side, he immediately replied on the other side——

【That's good】

【Is it a matter of work】

Knowing that he was working overtime at night, she subconsciously thought it was a matter of work.

Zuo Yuhang hesitated for a while in the dialogue box... Finally he sent a "yes".

He thought, if he told Xu Wish about Wei Ning's presence here now, he might not be able to explain clearly, women tend to think wildly, so he decided not to talk about it.

【Wish: Then you are busy first, we will talk after you are done】

Wish never interfered with his work, and knew how to give him his personal space.
