At night, in a corner of a ground floor apartment where bicycles were parked, there was an idle small stool. Rao Jie didn't know how much longer she would have to wait, so she could only sit on the small stool and wait for someone.
The stairwell was silent, and the motion-sensor lights quickly turned off. Only the occasional glow from her phone screen illuminated the dark corner. She dialed a number, but no one answered. There were already ten unread messages on WeChat, yet no one replied.
Rao Jie had no idea where Bao Ming had gone or why she couldn't get in touch with him. She could only wait patiently because she had nowhere else to go. Without her ID, she couldn't check into a hotel, and the university had already locked its gates for the night, preventing her from entering.
In September, Shencheng was still sweltering hot, making her feel irritable and suffocated. Occasional thunderstorms did little to alleviate the discomfort; they only served to frighten her with their thunderous roars. Just like now, when the thunder rumbled outside.
Suddenly, a drop or two of water fell onto her illuminated screen, distorting the images and text displayed on it. Rao Jie was taken aback and quickly raised her hand to rub her eyes vigorously. Her eyes became red and swollen from the rubbing, making her double eyelids look like they were turning into triple eyelids.
Her originally bright eyes now resembled walnut kernels; she truly didn't know how many times she had rubbed them along the way.
No crying! Rao Jie silently reminded herself. She absolutely could not cry; she had promised her grandmother not to cry but to smile. However, the grievances in her heart bubbled up like boiling water, uncontrollable and increasingly urgent.
Running away from home was her way of resisting her family's unreasonable demands. Although it was a weak and powerless rebellion, she genuinely didn't know what else she could do. Fortunately, she still had a boyfriend who loved her to turn to; at least she wouldn't be homeless.
Just as she was about to call Bao Ming again, a sudden ding echoed—the sound of the elevator. As the sound resonated, the motion-sensor lights turned back on.
A look of surprise spread across Rao Jie's face as if she had found her lifeline; she abruptly stood up, eager to rush around the corner. But just as a figure appeared in her line of sight, Rao Jie recoiled in terror.
Rao Jie leaned against the wall, pressing her hand against her wildly beating heart, unable to believe what she had just seen.
But at that moment, subtle sounds began to erupt in the quiet hallway. It was the soft, wet sound of kissing and the hurried breaths that accompanied it. In other words, what she had witnessed—two people locked in an embrace, desperately inhaling each other's breath—was real.
Rao Jie’s face turned pale in an instant, her body trembling uncontrollably. Before she could fully process what was happening, her body acted on its own; she tried to crouch by the wall to sneak a look ahead. She wanted to see clearly.
The two people in the hallway were still entangled with each other. It seemed it had rained outside, as they were both soaked, making the scene even more unbearable to witness. They hardly paid attention to their surroundings, lost in their passionate kisses and fervently exploring each other's bodies as they stumbled toward the door.
Rao Jie finally confirmed it—she hadn’t been mistaken. The male lead in this kiss was her boyfriend, Bao Ming, and the female lead, who was entwined with him as if they were conjoined twins, was none other than her friend, Jiang Chuchu.
Bao Ming held Jiang Chuchu tightly around her back while fumbling for his keys, clearly unwilling to part from her for even a second. Soon enough, he found the key and opened the door. The two of them tugged at each other—one retreating while the other followed—and just like that, they entered the room.
