During the humid rainy season in Hangzhou, an umbrella accidentally connected the worlds of convenience store clerk Chen Wan and film and television post-production engineer Zhou Yue. Under the warm yellow light of the convenience store, her kindness in handing a tissue and his clumsiness in borrowing an umbrella were the first gentle touches between two foreign souls in the cold city.
WeChat became their secret bridge. He saw the scars of being bumped into by reality when she first entered society, and she felt sorry for him because he was exhausted from staying up late and overdrafting his health. The heartbeat that started on a rainy night, in the trickle of careful sharing and concern, quietly settled into a deeper love and desire to be close.
A reckless and sincere rush, and a sickly and hoarse "I just want to see you" completely shattered Chen Wan's defenses. The fate brought by the umbrella finally bloomed with hot vitality, as if the starlight promised to move forward hand in hand.
They thought this was just the beginning of their joint fight against the urban chill. In Hangzhou, a city where opportunities and pressures coexist, they share the glimmer of dreams and the burden of life, clumsily but firmly approaching each other, trying to build a warm nest for each other in reinforced concrete.
However, the impermanence of fate is far colder than a night rain, and the two hearts gradually no longer rely on each other. The light that once illuminated each other suddenly went out, leaving only the city's never-ending but cold and biting lights. From the heartbeat under the umbrella to the warmth in the apartment, everything finally solidifies into an eternal night that cannot be crossed in life. How profound the beauty is, how painful it is to lose it.

The writing is okay, but the plot is a bit draggy.
The writing is delicate and smooth, true, beautiful and beautiful, there are no complicated things, just the emotional story of both parties.
