He holds my hand and stops, and trust me, my Mr. Heart just again skips a beat.
"Hey silly childish girl, what are you hiding? Tell me," he asked me.
I turn around and look at him and said, after gathering confidence in me to speak because he is still holding my hand, "Uncle Wang Lei and I have an agreement together."
"What agreement?" he asked curiously.
"The agreement that every month I need to bring him at least 5 customers to his shop. It's my target for every month, and he'll give me and my friends milk tea free of cost whenever I want to drink it. And if any month I am not able to meet my target, then in that month, if my friends and I want to drink milk tea, we need to pay him."
"Every month?" he said again. "But this month you only brought him 2 customers, so it means this month you need to pay him? Because you aren't able to complete your target."
"Noo, of course not. I brought him a total of 5 this month also," I said.
"How?"
"The Xu Yuan is such a big star of China. Of course he is equal to the remaining 3 customers," I said proudly.
"But he didn't know I am Xu Yuan," he said.
"Of course, because of your black mask on your face."
"Then how?" he asked.
"Don't worry, I am Zhao Shiza. You don't know me. I have really good IQ level. I'll tell him tomorrow that Xu Yuan drank milk tea in his shop yesterday," I said it while smiling.
"Everything is alright, but there is no need to mention IQ here because IQ level isn't needed here," he said to me in a teasing tone.
"Are you teasing me, Mr. Xu Yuan?" I asked, folding my arms.
He smiles and doesn't answer, then pats my head and just walks off from here like he is walking in the scene of every drama of his. "It's typical Xu Yuan behaviour," I said while getting a little pissed off at him.
The day went well like this, but the rain didn't stop yet. It's getting worse and worse than before. The whole Shanghai is just covered in a dark blanket. When I opened my Weibo, there is news everywhere about today's most terrifying rain in Shanghai. Everywhere everyone is saying to stay at home for safety. It's becoming a big breaking news of Shanghai. All over Weibo, only this news is going on. Of course today's rain is something else. In the whole Shanghai, this news is only going on.
Then I closed my phone because these news only make panic among people. But at that exact moment, lightning occurs very loudly. I gasp a little.
We are shooting till late night today. Now the clock hits 12 am and everyone starts moving for their home. The set is becoming empty now. Today's schedule is over. We are done with today.
I am calling Wang Ruoxi but she isn't picking up my call. She must be asleep at this time. "Look at the time, Zhao Shiza," I said to myself.
But at this hour no buses will come. How can I get to the dorm? And the dorm gets closed at this hour. How can I get into the dorm? But now the most important question is how I can reach there?
I stepped out of the set while thinking all of this in my mind. I can get into the dorm but first I need to reach there. But how? I mean how?
The rain didn't stop yet. I think tomorrow Shanghai will definitely be declared as a water land after today's continuous rain. I am moving on the road while getting drenched in rain because I didn't have an umbrella. But there is no use of it. Even if I had an umbrella, I wouldn't use it.
I am enjoying my late night walk on the roads of Shanghai where there is no one, and I am just walking and completely lost in myself and my thoughts, as usual the typical Zhao Shiza coded girl who loves to be alone and loves to get lost in my own world because this world never understands me. Never. Not my emotions, not my feelings, not even me.
The rain didn't stop. I am getting more and more drenched in the rain, but I am liking this. It's just like it's making me lost in my own world where no one sees me, where I don't see anyone. It's like I am taking a journey to me, from me.
That's why the rain is my favourite season. It takes me to my world — my own delusional imaginary world. Yes, I can say the La La Land of my own dreams that never ever gonna be true.
I keep moving on the road. It's getting darker and darker. The rain is getting more and more stronger than before. Then a big long expensive black car suddenly stops in front of me. The window slowly rolls down, and the voice comes saying…
