After Tao Zhi finally graduated from his grueling stint "polishing his resume overseas" and returned home, his parents took him to a matchmaking date without telling him a thing.
When he learned the truth afterward, he finally couldn't hold back and had a huge fight with his family before running away from home.
Only after the rain had soaked him through did he realize he hadn't brought his wallet or his phone. Too angry to back down, he could only grit his teeth and wander aimlessly.
He never expected that just when he thought he had nowhere to go that night but the space beneath an overpass, he'd run into his high school deskmate, a brainy whiz at refrigerants, with whom he'd shared a classroom for a year without exchanging more than a few words.
Soaked to the bone, he clutched a stray cat he'd picked up somewhere and asked without much hope, "Hey, deskmate, could you take me in out of the goodness of your heart...?"
Yao Qianyu never dreamed that he'd go downstairs to buy soy sauce and come home with the person he'd secretly loved.
(The setting has been changed a little. This is no longer a school story.)
