  Transparent raindrops hit the umbrella surface, making scattered and messy sounds.

  Wei Lilu lowered its head and unconsciously turned the handle of the umbrella in its hand, watching the shaken water droplets fall to the ground, and soon merged into other rainwater, and could no longer be traced.

  Wei Chengze stood beside her and stretched out his hand to try to stop the taxi coming in this direction. However, the other party seemed not to see Wei Chengze and left without slowing down at all.

  Wei Chengze frowned tightly as he watched another taxi drive past him without stopping.

  The traffic in this city is already congested. On a rainy day like this, there is basically no need to have any hope for the slow bus.

  Retracting his outstretched hand, Wei Chengze's eyes showed a rare hint of anxiety.

  He hated this kind of rainy weather the most. The humid and dull air made people feel as if something was pressing on their chests, making them feel breathless.

  Today, Yan Li went to another city because of some work matters. Even if he called him now, he would not be able to rush over in time. Only at this time would Wei Chengze be upset that he did not persist until the end. The driving test is coming.

  Seeing helplessly that the taxi he had stopped was snatched away by others, Wei Chengze finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice, the annoyance on his face was obvious.

  Having never seen Wei Chengze look like this, Wei Lilu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

  Looking up at the sky that showed no sign of clearing up, Wei Lilu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back and spoke out her thoughts: "Dad," he looked at Wei Lilu who turned around after hearing the voice. Chengze blinked, "Shall we walk back?"

  It takes nearly forty minutes to walk from school to home. If you have free time, this journey can't be said to be too long, but given the current time and weather In other words, what Wei Lilu proposed is really not a good idea.

  There are many stores around the school. Even if the two of them can't stop the car, there are many places to spend time. It is obviously wiser to wait until the rain subsides before leaving. But after Wei Chengze thought for a while, he agreed to Wei Lilu's proposal.

  It's not that he really has such romantic feelings and wants to take a rare walk in the rain with her. He just continues to stand there impatiently and watch the cars drive by one by one.

  "Actually..." Seeing Wei Chengze and Wei Lilu walking in the rain holding umbrellas one after another, 5438 said with great trepidation, "Host, you just want to torment Wei Lilu, right?"

  Looking at Wei Lilu The way Wei Lilu's little arms and legs were shivering in the cold wind, 5438 couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

  Hearing 5438's words, Wei Chengze raised his eyebrows and replied lazily: "He came up with this himself."

  5438: ...

  hearing this, somehow, 5438 sympathized more with Wei Lilu. 

  Seeing Wei Lilu trotting a few steps to follow Wei Chengze and walking side by side with him, he wanted to reach out his paw and touch the poor baby's head.

  In a season like now, once it starts to rain, the temperature will suddenly drop a lot. The clothes that I thought were a bit too much in the morning now seem a bit thin.

  Wei Lilu shrank its neck, obviously feeling a little cold. He turned his head and looked at Wei Chengze beside him, hesitated for a moment, then cautiously reached out his hand and held his fingertips.

  Due to a little rain, Wei Chengze's hands were cooler than usual, but as an adult man, his physique is much better than that of a little girl, Wei Lilu, and his temperature is naturally higher than that of Wei Lilu.

  Slanting the umbrella in her hand to the other side, Wei Lilu rubbed against Wei Chengze, like a child who wanted to act coquettishly towards her parents - if possible, she would prefer to take it away. took an umbrella and got under Wei Chengze's umbrella.

  Wei Chengze would put his arm around her shoulders and shield her tightly. The warmth transmitted through his clothes would keep her warm in his heart.

  Thinking of such a scene, Wei Lilu held Wei Chengze's hand slightly harder, and involuntarily moved closer to Wei Chengze.

  Upon noticing Wei Lilu's movements, Wei Chengze's body froze slightly. After a long while, he gradually broke away from Wei Lilu's hand and opened the distance between the two.

  Suddenly losing the warmth in his hands, the cold air suddenly rushed in, and the chill seemed to spread to the bottom of his heart.

  "You'll get wet." Seeing Wei Lilu's dazed look, Wei Chengze was silent for a long time before explaining in a slightly stiff voice. Covered by the sound of rain, his voice seemed a bit erratic and weak.

  "...Hmm." He pursed his lips vigorously, and after a long time, Wei Lilu responded softly.

  In such weather, everyone with an umbrella would get wet, not to mention that Wei Chengze was not used to holding an umbrella with others - there was nothing to be surprised about, and nothing to be sad about. It's just... a normal thing.

  But even though he told himself this over and over in his heart, Wei Lilu's hanging fingers still slowly curled up, and the knuckles were green and white.

  No longer trying to get close to Wei Chengze, Wei Lilu followed Wei Chengze step by step.

  Some of the floor tiles were loose, and they tilted up when you stepped on them, splashing the sewage accumulated underneath. The soaked socks felt strangely cold against the skin.

  Looking at Wei Chengze's unaware back in front of him, Wei Lilu's lips moved, but after all he still didn't make a sound, he just quickened his pace and walked to Wei Chengze's side.

  She hated the feeling of following Wei Chengze and looking at his back, as if he was far away from her world all the time. As long as she relaxes a little, the other party will completely disappear from her sight.

  The two of them walked forward in silence, and the dull atmosphere made Wei Lilu a little breathless.

  There is a high-rise building under construction on the side of the road. The wooden shelves on the wall are soaked by the rain, and somehow they look a bit pitiful.

  Wei Lilu suddenly remembered that the little girl once walked back from school every day in order to go home with a classmate who lived nearby. However, because of the existence of this unfinished building, Wei Chengze ordered her to go home after school in the future. Must take bus. It was after that that the relationship between the two people became worse and worse.

  "You really hate me so much that you don't even want me to have a friend, right?"

  - Thinking of the little girl's thoughts at that time, Wei Lilu felt depressed for a while.

  That person obviously had everything she expected, so why could she turn a blind eye to all these things? Obviously...possessing such enviable everything...

  biting her lower lip tightly, the emotion called jealousy surged up from Wei Lilu's chest bit by bit.

  "Dad..." Looking at Wei Chengze's slightly pursed lips, Wei Lilu suddenly had the urge to tell everything at once.

  Even if he was regarded as a madman, even if he was hated and hated - he didn't want Wei Chengze to reflect another person in his eyes when he looked at him.

  All that care, all that warmth—none of it was for him.

  He's... had enough of this.

  However, before she could speak, Wei Chengze suddenly stopped, his expressionless profile looking alarmingly cold.

  "Can you..." Without turning around to look at Wei Lilu, Wei Chengze's voice sounded a little blurry and distorted in the rain, "Stop calling me 'Dad'?"

  The surroundings seemed to fall into silence. , even the sound of falling rain became so distant.

  Wei Lilu watched Wei Chengze's lips opening and closing, but couldn't hear a sound in his ears.

  "You just..." The hand in his pocket unconsciously exerted force, and Wei Lilu struggled to squeeze out the words from his throat, "What did you say?" 

  I said," Wei Chengze turned around, Looking directly into Wei Lilu's eyes, he repeated what he just said word for word, "Don't call me 'Dad' anymore."

  His eyes opened slightly uncontrollably, and Wei Lilu's lips Trembling, he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't spit out a formed syllable.

  Yes, how could he forget that while he was whitewashing the peace, Wei Chengze was doing the same thing?

  "When did you discover it?" After a long silence, Wei Lilu asked, his voice unexpectedly calm.

  Before it became clear, she was so afraid of this moment coming, but when he actually faced all this, he was not as panicked as she imagined.

  "From the very beginning." Wei Chengze replied, with no ripples in his voice.

  The rain became even heavier, forming a sheet in mid-air, making it difficult to see things even a hundred meters away.

  It really suited the occasion.

  Wei Lilu twitched the corners of his mouth, but could not raise a smile no matter what.

  "That night," Wei Lilu heard his own voice, with an indifference similar to Wei Chengze's, "Yan Li did not go to the parent-teacher meeting." Without the slightest doubt, he simply stated a fact.

  Wei Chengze said nothing, acquiescing to Wei Lilu's words.

  It felt like my heart had been stabbed hard by something sharp, and the pain was so painful that I wanted to scream loudly. Wei Lilu's fingers moved, and tears slipped down without warning.

  There was nothing surprising about this in the first place. In Wei Chengze's heart, he was the murderer of his daughter - it was perfectly normal to want his life. It's just that he was too stupid. When he saw him running towards her in panic, he actually thought that the other party took him seriously.

  So in the end, even the superficial peace could not be maintained.
