Waiting for That Rainstorm

“On a post on the Yanzhi No. 1 High School forum: ‘Did things work out with the person you had a crush on?’”

Lin Yi stared at it, lost in thought.

Her youth had been uneventful.

Then she met that boy.

He made time stand still, and no one else ever brought warmth to her years again.

In the end, all she saw were comments from two anonymous accounts: “No.”

Nobody had ever seen them together, yet somehow everyone had.

“Wait for the next rain.”

“I’m done waiting, Song Yu.”

She had once stood beneath an apartment building in the rain, waiting for him to explain.

But he never came.

In the end, one became a star in the humanities, while the other conquered the sciences.

There was no chance they would ever cross paths again.

Until the competition they had once agreed to take part in brought them together again.

“Do you still remember our promise?”

“You do too.”

“Long time no see, Song Yu.”

“Long time no see, Lin Yi.”

Song Yu, I hope your studies go well.

Lin Yi, I hope your future shines bright.

Because of you, I never fell for anyone else.
