He Broke Me to My Lover's Music, Now the CEO Chases Me novel · Chapter 14 of 24
Chapter 14: Rain
On the fourth morning, there was a man on the bench across Willow Lane.
Mingzhou saw him from the upstairs window, through the grey rain, with a cup of tea going cold in his hand.
The man wore a black coat that cost more than the building behind him.
He had no umbrella.
He sat with his back very straight and his hands on his knees, looking at nothing.
Mingzhou stared.
"No," he said aloud to the pigeon on the wall.
The pigeon did not argue.
He drank his tea, tuned two strings, and looked again.
The man had not moved.
Rain ran down the back of his neck into his collar.
By ten the noodle stall had opened.
The old woman who ran it came out with a plastic stool and a sheet of plastic, and put them both over the stranger without a word.
By eleven, he was eating a bun.
Mingzhou took the stairs two at a time.
He stood in the shop doorway in his slippers with his arms folded.
He watched Yuheng cross the lane, stop at the dumpling stall and join the line behind three schoolchildren.
