Synopsis
Expired barometer The style is relatively simple and involves fewer characters. (Enter with caution) Updates are irregular, at least 3 chapters a week It is recommended to store articles In the early stage, it was more campus-oriented, and in the later stage, it was urban. - Xu Sui (28 years old, weather forecaster): On the surface, he is gentle and restrained, but in fact, he was trapped in the rainy night ten years ago. He habitually collects old things (mouldy train tickets, faded barometers), and even his cat has the same name as the man, "Jingzhe". - Chen Rang (28 years old, field geological surveyor): His skin is tanned, his smile has tiger teeth, he always loses contact in heavy rains, and the side pocket of his backpack always contains half a piece of melted fruit candy - Xu Sui's favorite orange flavor in the past. - Hiding under the eaves of a convenience store on a rainy night, Chen Rang handed Xu Sui his umbrella, half of his body was soaked in the water, and suddenly said: "I will be your weather forecaster from now on, making sure you don't get caught in a drop of rain when you go out." - Xu Sui waited for Chen Rang downstairs in the dormitory all night. What was waiting for him was him smelling of alcohol and a confession letter soaked by the rain. Chen Rang leaned against the tree and smiled: "Stop making trouble, people like us..." Before he could finish his words, when Xu Sui turned around, he grabbed his wrist and dug his nails into his skin. (Reunion): - Xu Sui received the hotline during the live broadcast of the heavy rain warning. There was the noise of electricity from the other end, mixed with a familiar gasp: "Xu Sui, I am in the southwest mountainous area, and there is going to be a mudslide here..." The moment he stopped talking, he saw the old-fashioned barometer on his desk suddenly turning crazily, and the pointer pointed to "heavy rain." - On the seventh day of search and rescue, Xu Sui knelt in the mud and dug up gravel, and touched the orange candy in the side pocket of Chen Rang's backpack. The candy wrapper had soaked into paste, but it was still tightly wrapped in candy. When Chen Rang was carried on the stretcher, there was half a broken watch stuck between his fingers - it was the birthday gift Xu Sui gave him ten years ago. - Misplaced guardianship - Unspoken lines - When Chen Rang was unconscious, he held Xu Sui's hand and shouted "I'm sorry" vaguely. Xu Sui thought it was referring to his rejection back then, but he didn't know that he was feeling guilty for "I said I wanted to be your weather forecaster, but I always make you worry about me." - Xu Sui placed a new barometer in front of Chen Rang's hospital bed, with a note on the back: "From now on, my weather forecast will only be for you. "But he quietly tore it up before Chen Rang woke up. - Incomplete perfection: After Chen Rang was discharged from the hospital, he was transferred back to the city to work. The two of them often sat under the eaves of a convenience store to hide from the rain, but neither one took the first step. Until one day Xu Sui saw that the side bag of Chen Rang's backpack had been replaced with new orange candies, and the old scar on his wrist had faded into a white mark at some point. Image metaphor: - Barometer: It is not only Xu Sui's career symbol, but also the "weather" of their relationship - it always fails before heavy rains, but over the long years, they have quietly adapted to each other's temperature. - Orange Candy: The taste memory is so sweet that it is so bitter, it is very similar to their youth that was wrinkled by reality. They knew it would melt, but they still couldn't bear to throw it away. Intention: Courage
