Into the Wild

"The year I met Shen Fuye, he was seventeen. The first time I saw him, it felt like I had been saved."

At 6:46 one evening, the little town, swallowed by heavy rain, had already fallen asleep.

The old glass door of the small convenience store suddenly swung open from the outside.

In the murky, dim light, the man's whole body was soaked. Water dripped from him, blending with the desolate curtain of rain behind him.

He kept his head down, looking utterly exhausted.

Time passed sluggishly. The rain outside grew heavier, its roar stirring up a white mist that swirled around the glass door.

The man seemed to grow even more dejected. His back hunched further, and he leaned listlessly against the counter, his gaze wandering.

Then he pointed at the hiring notice on the wall: HELP WANTED, 800 yuan per month.

"Can I do it?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly, the corner of his eye lifting slowly. That was the first time he looked at her.

The damp, rainy evening became a scene Wen Chiyu would never forget for the rest of her life.

Coming soon: Today's Your Birthday

Every year, April 1 is a day Yi Huailin can't bear to talk about.

Someone who didn't know the story asked, "Did someone prank Ah Huai on April Fools' Day?"

Those in the know answered vaguely, "It's a woman's birthday."

"What was he to that woman?"

The reply was even more cryptic: "They dated, broke up, and got back together."
