Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

The gears of time turn again.

At that moment——

At that moment, the next second of breathing——

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry -" The mother holding the child bowed repeatedly and apologized.

The hustle and bustle started again, and the code scanner in the cashier's hand made a beep sound. He moved quickly, and the products were passed one by one.

The team is moving forward, and the ladies in the raw vegetable area continue to compete for discounted vegetables.

The cries of children, the complaints of people waiting in line, and the sound of TV news broadcasts... everything is returning to normal.

It was as if time had stopped just now, and it was just a trace of trance.

The rain is falling outside, and gradually it is getting heavier.

The rain was heavy, wetting the ground and making the air even more humid. Every breath seemed to block the chest.

Yun Si stopped where she was, motionless, staring at the rain outside.

After a long time, she looked away and sighed softly. Her rapid breathing lost momentum and slowly calmed down.

"It's okay, just be careful in the future." She said to the child's mother.

"Okay...ok, I'm really sorry..."

"Well, it's okay."

…

…

…

After waiting in line at the checkout counter, Yun Si put the items in the shopping cart.

The cashier moved quickly without looking up: "Do you need a bag?"

"Need not."

Yun Si brought her own bag, and after scanning the merchandise, she put them away one by one.

"A total of three hundred and ninety-six yuan and four cents." The cashier quickly clicked on the machine a few times, waiting for her to pay.

Yun Si packed her things and took out her mobile phone from her bag.

When it was about to be unlocked, a person next to me handed over my phone and put it on the machine to scan it.

"Dip - payment successful -"

The shopping receipts on the machine then spit out bit by bit.

Yun Si affirmed and turned around.

The man was standing next to her, and he didn't know when he appeared - wearing a low-key and cold black coat, a black peaked cap, and a mask that completely blocked his face.

The face cannot be seen clearly, but the skin color exposed on the neck is extremely white - you can see the blood vessels clearly, extremely sickly white.

Like a vampire living in an old castle, he appears here, taking the form of a human and trying to blend in.

A human-shaped hand, beautiful and bony, with veins visible, cold and dry, like old withered bark.

Under her blank gaze, he took the reusable bag in her hand and put the remaining things in it.

He didn't speak, and the brim of his hat was held down extremely low, so low that he couldn't see his face or his expression clearly.

After packing up the things, he lifted a large bag with one hand, held her with the other hand, and walked towards the outside of the mall.

"Whoosh-"

The rain is still falling.

But the fog seems to be lifting.

Cold hands, the temperature seems to be higher than in summer.

It's cool with a bit of warmth, not quite warm, but at least it can make people feel less cold.

He held her hand and stood at the entrance of the shopping mall. The rain was still falling, but the fog was gradually dissipating.

The sun penetrated the increasingly faint wet mist and shone on the ground, its warmth dispelling the chill.

The cold rain reflects the light golden sunlight, making it colorful, dazzling and dazzling - like diamonds raining from the sky, shining brightly.

"Tap-tap-tap-"

Rain splashed.

Time seemed to be slowing down - or perhaps, Yun Si breathed softly unconsciously.

She was staring at the person in front of her, always staring, slightly absent-minded, like a baby staring at its long-lost family member.

The eyes did not blink, reflecting the shining light, quietly.
