When Jing Huan came out of the airport, a gust of wind happened to blow by and smacked him in the face.
He looked up– the sky had already turned overcast. The weather forecast had only released news this morning that a typhoon would make landfall in the evening, and it would be windy throughout the city until then.
In this sort of weather, airplanes would hardly be able to take off.
But his cousin had still insisted on booking a ticket to the United States, saying that she couldn't stay for even a moment longer. If she could fly off today, then she would, otherwise she would just stay at the hotel booked for her at the airport.
Jing Huan had just gotten on the bus when his phone rang.
"Huanhuan, your Jie's gone?" It was his dormmate, Gao Zixiang.
Jing Huan fet like everything sounded unpleasant to the ear right now. "Your sis is gone."
Gao Zixiang, "...don't be so sensitive, will you? What I meant was, did your Jie really go to the US?"
It began drizzling outside. Jing Huan stared at the rain droplets on the window and uttered a muffled "un".
Gao Zixiang, "Sigh, your Jie's really miserable. Honestly though, she didn't have to go that far. For stuff that happen on the Internet, who would know who anyone is after pulling the cord? It's really not worth going abroad for something this trivial."
When Jing Huan remembered the reason why his cousin left, he became very angry. "Must you mention that bunch of idiots in that game to me right now?"
"No, no." Siscons can't be provoked. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Gao Zixiang quickly stopped and changed the topic. "Okay, hurry back to the dorm after seeing her off. There's another casualty in the dormitory today, I can't handle it alone."
Jing Huan frowned. "Who's the casualty?"
"There are only three people in our dorm, who else do you think it is?"
Just as Gao Zixiang finished talking, he heard a sob that sounded like the squeal of a pig travel over from beside him. Gao Zixiang quickly said, "Aiyo Hao'er, stop crying. Wipe your tears away first."
Recognizing the voice that belonged to his other roommate, Lu Wenhao, Jing Huan started the car. "What happened to Hao'er?"
"It's a long story. Come back first." Gao Zixiang said.
Lu Wenhao sniffed. "Buy a dozen beers on your way back, Jing Huan."
After parking the car, Jing Huan squeezed into the adjacent convenience store. Knowing how much the other two could drink, he bought three bottles of beer and hid them in his clothes before going back to the dormitory.
As soon as he opened the dormitory door, he heard Lu Wenhao wail before he could even get in, "Why did he do this to me?!"
"What did "she" do to you?" Jing Huan pushed the door open and went in.
Lu Wenhao was sitting in the middle of the dormitory with a box of tissues propped on his thigh. He was actually crying.
Gao Zixiang had a huge headache. Seeing Jing Huan was like seeing his savior; he quickly jumped up from his chair and said, "You're finally back."
Jing Huan closed the door and handed him the plastic bag. "What on earth happened?"
Gao Zixiang looked at Lu Wenhao. "Do you want to say it? Or should I?"
