Ye Xianning couldn't say exactly when she fell for Jiang Suizhou.
She only remembered that from then on, he was by her side on every stormy night.
Including tonight.
Five years after leaving without a word, Ye Xianning chose to return to China to build her career.
Her flight was delayed, and she got caught in a stormy night.
At the arrivals gate, Jiang Suizhou still wore his signature carefree smile, but Ye Xianning couldn't find a trace of the tenderness he'd once shown her.
He casually clasped her wrist and asked with a smile:
"Still trying to run?"
"Aren't we supposed to sleep together every stormy night?"

Their relationship began in their final year of high school.
At first, nobody would have connected them. They came from completely different worlds.
She was born into a family of scholars. Sensible, sweet, obedient, and ambitious, she was the apple of her parents' eyes and a favorite of her teachers.
He was an illegitimate son hidden from the light, drifting through life without a care. Nobody watched over him or loved him, and all he had was more dirty money than he could spend.
Everyone urged Ye Xianning to stay away from Jiang Suizhou, warning her that he would lead her astray.
But they didn't know that while the storm raged outside, Ye Xianning would gently take his arm inside, unwilling to part from him.
Beneath the thin blanket, Jiang Suizhou held her close, his thumb repeatedly rubbing the couple's rings they'd just put on.
He said, "Ningning, your boyfriend isn't a good person."
"I don't need him to be a good person," she replied with her eyes closed. Then, with practiced ease, she clung to him and pressed a kiss to his lips.
Jiang Suizhou became completely hers, obedient and devoted, planning their future over and over through the hot, restless nights.
But the breakup came suddenly. Ye Xianning dumped Jiang Suizhou.
She left without hesitation, ignoring every promise they'd made, and went abroad without looking back.
Jiang Suizhou stood outside her home and endured one rainstorm after another. But even soaked to the skin, he never again received her worried tenderness or the warm towel she always used to dry his wet hair.
*
After Ye Xianning left, Jiang Suizhou thought of her, watched for her, and waited for her day after day.
His desire never faded.
"Ningning, let's be fair."
"You were the one who started this, so I should be the one to end it."
[He never missed a stormy night.]
Reader's Guide:
1. They are both each other's first and only, and this has a happy ending.
2. I can't think of anything else for now. I'll add more if I do. The blurb is still being polished.
