Chapter 72: How Does Drizzling Rain Dispel Sorrow

The gentle drizzle gradually intensified into a downpour, the raindrops on the window blurring the incomplete picture like it had been carelessly smeared.
He had just dozed off for a little while, feeling drowsy but not quite asleep, which was annoying. The car had already left the city, but it seemed to be a while before getting on the highway. He reached out and touched the window, feeling a bit cold, which made him feel a little more awake. However, his head was still heavy and he put his hand back to touch his forehead, which was a little warm.
顾安之又倒在了座位上，他在心里叹了口气，原来自己已经感冒了，就在他毫无防备的不经意间，一切就悄然发生了。
The library had returned to its quiet state without anyone noticing. With her head down, Gu Yin could only hear the faint scratching of her pen on paper. The library lights had been turned on, and she felt a chill in the air. Looking up at the window, she suddenly realized that it was raining outside.
刘杨抬起头看着她，问道：“怎么了？”
顾殷摇了摇头，“没事，下雨了”
刘杨笑道：“已经下了好一会了，我看你正入迷，也就没打扰你”
"Ah," Gu Yin sighed and lowered her head. Liu Yang looked at her forehead and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
"I don't know, I just feel anxious and uncomfortable in my heart."
"Because of him?"
Hearing Liu Yang's voice, Gu Yin raised her head and looked into his eyes, "No, I always feel like the knight should go back, my mom..."
顾殷说着又低下了头，刘杨感受到了她的情绪，犹豫了一下，说道：“要不，我还是送你回去吧，刚好我也可以回去看一下，算算也有些年头没回去了”

Liuyang's words seemed to touch a nerve in Guyin, who quickly raised his head, shook it, and refused. Liuyang's heart skipped a beat. Guyin turned his head to look out the window and then buried his head in the table, not speaking anymore.

Liu Yang looked at Gu Yin, who was lying on the table, and clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to speak. He wondered how Gu Anzhi would handle this situation. He could deal with all other occasions calmly, but he was completely helpless in dealing with the issue of Xinjiang independence.
He felt some self-blame. If he had known earlier, he would not have let Gu Yin stay out of selfishness. Gu Yin was a hurdle that he could not overcome, a karmic debt left by his parents, waiting for him to repay. And that small town was a cage, a cage that their whole family was trying to escape from.
他想把顾安之关在里面，代他去承受这一切，他想逃离顾殷，可当他再次见到她的时候，这才发现，自己终究是离不得她的。
刘杨最后还是选择了出声，他让自己的语气尽量温和儒雅，“你也别太担心，安之不是回去了吗，到时候打个电话问问他，要不我现在打吧”
"No need,"
Gu Yin's voice came from under the table, "I'm fine, just a bit dizzy from using my brain too much. Resting for a bit will be enough. Don't bother calling him. That guy probably hasn't even gotten off the rides yet."
“那好吧，听你的”
刘杨看着自己的手机屏幕，上面显示的是通讯录页面，只有一串手机号码，没有其他的任何备注，他看着这串号码，滑动了几下屏幕回到主界面，随即便关掉了手机。
Gu Yin rested for a while and lifted her head to give Liu Yang a smile, indicating that she was fine. Liu Yang felt somewhat relieved upon seeing her expression, so he said to her:
"Since you've rested well, let's go out for some fresh air. It's raining outside, so we can take a breather."
"But we didn't bring an umbrella, and..."
Gu Yin's gaze looked ahead, but was blocked by several bookshelves and couldn't see the direction of the whiteboard in front. "And our bet hasn't been won or lost yet, the answer hasn't been revealed."
Liu Yang chuckled, "Given the current situation, can't you guess the answer yet?"
"We have to confirm it anyway, after all we have a bet ~"
"Well, let's go check it out together. It's been so long, the outcome should have been revealed long ago."
Liu Yang stood up to tidy up the textbooks on the table. Gu Yin rubbed his temples and said, "What are you doing? You don't need to clean up. We'll be coming back later."
刘杨微微扬头疑惑的看着她，“不是说等下出去透透气吗”
“可现在不是正下雨吗，又没地方去，而且我们又没伞”
刘杨邪魅一笑，“谁说没有，你去了自然就有了”
顾殷沉吟，转头看向窗外逐渐平缓的雨势，雨声哒哒，算不上小，也说不上大，却也是这两个月以来最大的一次了。
“那好吧，我们~我们去市里的图书馆吧，就新华街那一家，我早就想去了，怎么样？”
看着一脸憧憬的顾殷，刘杨只能无奈的点了点头，表示应允，现在该换他叹气了。
Liu Yang packed up the textbooks on the table, while Gu Yin put the school magazine back in its place. Liu Yang remembered that she didn't seem to have read much of it, even though she had shown great interest before. Now, it seemed as though she had lost interest altogether.
"Why put it back? Haven't you finished reading it? Anyway, we can borrow it for two more days"
"Forget it, I flipped through it twice and there's nothing interesting, just a bunch of exaggerated things. Oh, I think I saw Uncle Liu mentioned above."
"What's so special about it? Our names, Liu Yang and Gu Yin, will be added on top of it in the future. That's perfection."
"We have to work harder for that in the future."
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlLiu Yang smiled, this kind of thing in the end is still a matter of words. He and Gu Yin walked to the front of the library. It was not early, and there were few people left in the library. They should have left when it had just rained. Xu Zhi and the others were long gone, and with such a thing happening, they had no intention of staying any longer.```
顾殷看着白板的方向，周围已经空了，但就在白板前，还静静矗立着一个人影，是陈鹏，他既没有提笔在白板上演算，也没有在那抓耳挠腮。
He stood there quietly, with his hands in his pockets, as if all around him were irrelevant. He seemed to be lost in his own world, alone in his digital ocean.
“走吧，我们过去看看”
听见刘杨的声音顾殷跟着他一起向陈鹏走去，路过门口的时候，图书馆阿姨还微笑着向她点了点头，看样子她还没忘记这个当初一大早，就来图书馆看书复习的小丫头。
Gu Yin followed Liu Yang and walked closer. She held a textbook in her arms and Liu Yang initially wanted to help her carry it. However, Gu Yin insisted on holding it like that and felt much better. Liu Yang remained speechless and could only follow her.
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Chen Peng turned away from the whiteboard and looked towards the two of them. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke:
"You've finally arrived."
