Chapter 178 A Night Rain
Chapter 178 A Night Rain
Phoenix Hall Hutong
Night fell quietly, and the rain stopped and started again, then stopped again.
Two cars were parked one after the other on one side of the alley.
Paula opened the car window, reached out and popped her hand out to feel the rain.
"The rain has stopped, let's go back."
The salamander looked at the two people who had unbuckled their seatbelts, then hesitated before glancing at the front door of its own house in the alley.
"Sis, are we really going home?"
"Are you planning to spend the night in the car instead of going home?" Paula asked him irritably.
"Don't worry, Dong-ryong, just come find us if anything happens!" Sun-woo reassured him.
"I need to talk to you? I need to talk to you..." the salamander muttered to itself, then sighed.
"Okay~" The salamander finally made up his mind. He also wanted to know how his family had treated him after he had been gone for two days.
"Let me give you a ride!" Sunwoo said, opening the car door.
"Oh! No need!"
"Don't follow me!"
"I'm afraid my screams will scare you!"
The salamander swallowed hard, its expression one of resignation to its fate, and stood resolutely at its own doorstep.
"Donglong! Hurry up and go in!" Liu Shuyu waved to him from the alley.
"Don't worry~ I get beaten up all the time and it's nothing~" Deok-sun shouted back.
"Okay!" The salamander resolutely... turned and ran away!
Fortunately, Jung-hwan had already quietly approached him and grabbed him.
"Sigh~ I overestimated him~" Deok-sun said speechlessly as she pulled Yoo Seo-woo back.
"Jung-hwan, take him home before you come back," Liu Shuyu sighed, looking at the disappointing baby boy, and said to Jung-hwan.
"Okay, I got it!" Jung-hwan looked at the sky and saw that it was starting to rain again. He opened his umbrella, holding it in one hand and supporting the dollfish's shoulder with the other.
"Can I go in later?" the salamander pleaded.
Jung-hwan shook his head.
"Ah~"
"Hurry up and go inside! The rain is getting heavier!" Zheng Huan urged again, and only then did the baby fish hurriedly step into the house.
..........
Giant Salamander House
Mom is on the phone, making a call.
He took off his shoes and walked nervously to his mother's side.
"Mom...I'm sorry..." Before he could finish saying sorry, his mother glanced at him.
"Come home earlier next time, it's so late!" After scolding the baby fish, the mother quickly turned to the customer on the other end of the phone.
Seeing her mother who seemed to know nothing, the salamander was momentarily at a loss for what to do, and just stood there blankly to the side, until...
"Hey!"
Why didn't you come home yesterday?
Dad, wearing pajamas and holding a newspaper, walked over. Although his tone was accusatory, it made the salamander somewhat happy.
But his father's next words made him droop his face again.
"Your friend's house is so nice, why don't you just stay at your friend's house!"
I said you...
"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you..."
Donglong's father gave his son, who had the worst grades, a disdainful look.
Looking at his seemingly oblivious parents, Donglong touched his bottom.
This feeling of being ignored is worse than being beaten up.
Buttocks: That's what you said, it has nothing to do with me!
The giant salamander turned and walked towards the door.
There was no storm as I had imagined; all that remained was the busy Minister Zhao and the strict Dean of Students.
He felt terrible, but didn't know how to express it. He couldn't remember anything Paula had said; he only remembered one sentence...
"It would be great if I could just run out again..."

Hutong
"Seriously, it's raining again!"
Originally, I just didn't want to go back with Deok-sun and the others, so I waited a little longer, and then the rain started pouring down.
"Why didn't you leave!" Bora looked at Sunwoo beside her.
Sunwoo smiled as he opened the car door, took out his umbrella, and walked to Bora's side.
The door was opened, and Bora stepped out, looking at Sunwoo holding an umbrella, speechless and pursing her lips.
In the alley, Sunwoo, holding an umbrella, and Bora, with her hands in her pockets, walked step by step toward their home.
"You'd better not say anything." Paula glanced at Sunwoo, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, and shut him down with her words.
"Sis, I'm just going home for dinner, then I plan to go to the reading room later."
Let's study in the reading room until one o'clock.
I got home around 1:15 PM.
Sunwoo continued talking to himself, completely ignoring what Bora had just said.
“What does this have to do with me…” Paula said calmly.
"I was just bored and talking to myself," Sunwoo replied nonchalantly.
After walking quietly for a while, just as he was about to reach the door, Sunwoo couldn't hold back any longer.
“However, I will still wait for ten minutes at my sister’s door.” Sunwoo glanced at Bora cautiously.
"Hey! Are you crazy?"
Why wait!
Paula stopped in her tracks, and her stern tone made Sunwoo subconsciously swallow.
"I like to wait..."
"Sister, you don't need to worry about it..."
Sunwoo's words made Bora grit her teeth, wanting to vent her anger on him but unable to do anything about it.
Until she saw Sunwoo's shoulders, soaked by the rain...
Paula, who doesn't like to express herself directly, was touched by this detail.
Sunwoo's love is more than just outspoken love.
His love was also hidden in every detail of his interactions with Paula.
At that moment, he opened a tilted umbrella, with Paula at the center.
Sunwoo's blatant favoritism speaks louder than a thousand words.
Bora took the umbrella from his hand, and Sunwoo tactfully stood under the eaves in front of his house, quietly watching Bora go back.
Jung-hwan came out carrying a trash bag and holding an umbrella, and bumped into Bora.
He greeted Paula, but Paula lowered her head and walked through the door as if she hadn't heard him.
Jung-hwan glanced at Bora's figure with a puzzled look, then turned his head and saw Sun-woo standing under the eaves looking in their direction.
"Hey~ Sunwoo, come to my room and play PUBG!"
Jung-hwan called out and walked closer, carrying a trash bag.
"Mom said it's Dad's birthday tonight, so she ordered fried chicken. We'll go home after we finish eating!"
"I've already spoken to your mom."
"Oh! Okay!" Sunwoo nodded happily. "By the way! Did Taek go?"
"Taek's been here for ages! If you'd been any later, Sung Deok-sun and Yu Hui would have finished eating!" Jung-hwan said irritably, counting the two gluttons.
"Hehe~ Yu Hui grilled so many skewers today but didn't get to eat many himself, let him eat more~" Shan Yu joked in a good mood.
"Stop talking~ Hurry up~" Jung-hwan held an umbrella and put his arm around Sun-woo as the two walked in the rain.
"Hey? Why are your shoulders so wet?"
"Oh~ the rain was so heavy just now~"
............
Jung-hwan's room
Liu Shuyu opened his mouth, and Deok-sun mischievously threw a chicken leg into it.
"Hey! Can't you two just eat properly?!" Jung-hwan said with a look of disgust.
"Brother Ze, let's join in!" Yu Hui picked up a chicken leg and waved it at Ze.
"Give it to me!" Deok-sun snatched the chicken leg.
"Second Sister!!!" Yu Hui's face was full of grievance, and tears were about to fall.
"Oh, here you go~" Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she saw Yu Hui's aggrieved little eyes, swallowed her saliva, and handed it to him again.
"Donglong? What's wrong with you now?" Sunwoo took off his wet coat and looked at the dollfish sitting on the bed.
"He ran away from home again!" Deok-sun licked her greasy fingers and pointed at the giant salamander.
"Ah~"
That house really left me speechless.
"I plan to eat before going back~"
"After thinking about it carefully, I realized they don't even know I ran away from home!"
"Then what's the point of me running away from home?"
The salamander picked up a large piece of roasted chicken, took a big bite, and oil splattered everywhere!
"Is it good?" Ms. Leopard pushed open the door.
"Delicious~ Thank you, Auntie~" everyone answered in unison.
"Auntie~ would you like to sit down and have something to eat?" Deok-sun offered a chicken wing she had just torn off.
"You guys eat up~ I bought a lot, there's enough for everyone~"
"I bet your parents are playing PUBG at home right now~"
Ms. Leopard said something, smiled at everyone, and gently closed the door.
After closing the door, Ms. Leopard glanced at the half-open door of her room and subconsciously looked at the kitchen trash can.
There was also a piece of wrapping paper in the trash can, with Korean characters faintly visible on it.
(Promotes bowel movement...)
