I will start the story with a rainy night scene to create the image of a wild and unruly teenager, and use the environment to set off a depressing and sharp atmosphere to kick off the story.
Chapter 1 Along the Street on a Rainy Night
The late autumn rain was cold and dense, like handfuls of fine ice particles hitting the streets of the old county town.
The street lamps were in disrepair for a long time. The flickering yellow light penetrated the rain curtain and spread out fragments of light on the water-logged road. The sycamore trees on the street were covered with rotten leaves, which were swollen and blackened by the rain. Mixed with the dust and garbage on the road, they gave off a damp and turbid urban air.
Chen Ye was half-leaning against the mottled wall, holding an almost-burned cigarette between his fingertips.
The sparks burning from the tobacco flickered out brightly in the dim rainy night, reflecting the heavy light in his eyes. The hat of the black hooded sweatshirt was pushed down very low, covering most of his eyebrows and eyes, revealing only the sharp jawline and the cold and hard curve of his thin lips. The legs of his trousers were rolled up haphazardly and stained with large mud spots. He was wearing a pair of sneakers that had been washed white, and the edges of the shoes were soaked with cold rain, but he didn't notice it at all.
I am seventeen this year and dropped out of high school in my second year of high school.
Other people's seventeen years are classrooms, test papers, parents' instructions and a stable future. And when he was seventeen years old, he was surrounded by dark streets, noisy alleys, bad days that he couldn't push away, and a lonely life that no one could tell.
The sound of shuffling footsteps came from the alley, mixed with the sound of rain splashing on the ground. There were more than one person.
Chen Ye flicked his fingertips, and the cigarette butt drew a thin line of fire, which accurately fell into the water at his feet. With a "sizzling" sound, the spark was completely extinguished.
