Weibo: @TheLittleBellOfTheCatCatcher] After being hit with the double blow of her first love, her boyfriend of four years, immediately getting together with someone else, and failing her graduate school entrance exam, Yu Jingpei fell into a slump. She quit her internship in the capital and returned to a small coastal city. At her most disheveled moment, she met Tang Haiyin, who was meticulously put together from head to toe. The woman before her widened her eyes, grabbed the blanket from the chair, draped it over her shoulders, and pretended to be calm as she struck up a conversation. "Are you here for a boudoir photoshoot too?" "Yes." "Then that outfit isn't suitable. From what I've seen, the men who pose only wear something on their upper bodies..." "Oh, I see." Tang Haiyin's eyes flickered as she gave an innocent smile. Then she unbuttoned her shirt and said mildly, "Then I'll just take it off." The day she left the aquarium, Yu Jingpei found her dream, then boarded a train to Shangjing City all by herself. The balance in her bank account and the suitcase she'd used throughout her four years at university became all the savings she had to start her business. After she finally achieved the wealth she'd hoped for, Yu Jingpei also received an acceptance letter from the University of Melbourne. The only thing she missed was Tang Haiyin saying, "I don't want to break up." They say it rains every year during Sydney's Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, and the year she studied abroad was no exception. Tang Haiyin stood amid the crowd, eyes fixed on Yu Jingpei, who was being ushered toward the Christmas tree. She rarely wore such a sophisticated long dress in front of him. The streetlights and building lights came on right on schedule. As the Christmas tree lit up, screams rose and fell, and countless fireworks burst across the sky. The dim light from the clock tower fell on the man's fringe, as if it had been gilded with enamel. He put on his mask and passed his beloved in the drizzle. Afterward, Yu Jingpei received a bouquet of flowers and a freshly lit sparkler from a little mixed-race boy. Hidden in the bouquet were an unopened gift box and a card. The familiar handwriting held the man's feelings. "Peipei, it's raining in Sydney. When the lights came on, did you think of me?"
