[Cloud Top x Mad Scientist Bottom]
Yun Bai was a cloud that had floated in the sky for thousands of years. After drifting for so long, it absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and gained consciousness.
He didn't want the wind to blow him around like a vagabond, so he went om nom nom and swallowed the white clouds around him, growing bigger and bigger until he was harder to blow away.
One day, he woke from a nap to discover that his true form had been locked inside a house.
The culprit was the owner of the house.
How could anyone bully an old cloud? Yun Bai was furious, and chased him around every day, raining on his head.
But the mad scientist could pluck clouds from all over the world for him to eat: clouds that tasted of rainstorms, clouds that tasted of lightning, even clouds that tasted of sandstorms.
Hmm... Staying with this guy sure does have its perks!
This man was a strange one.
He conducted all kinds of pointless but terrifying experiments at home, and rarely had any friends over.
Yun Bai chattered away at him, determined to disrupt his experiments and refusing to give up until he succeeded.
Hmph, this old cloud has drifted through the sky for thousands of years and seen more of the world than you've eaten meals! I'll get your attention one way or another. Then I'll stop talking and leave you desperate to know what I'll say next!
Zhou Mu was a leading authority in the scientific community, with cutting-edge research achievements in many fields. He was stern and taciturn, and his students and assistants both respected and feared him.
When he noticed that the clouds in the area were growing thicker and affecting the weather, he used a specialized instrument to pull one down and tethered it at home.
He discovered that the cloud could float around the house by itself, change colors, display a gloomy symbol over its head, and constantly chase him around raining on him.
It could even talk.
He grew selfish and didn't turn the cloud over to the institute for research.
When it kept raining while he slept, he made a canopy to cover his bed.
When the house kept flooding, he simply designed a drainage system.
When thunder and humidity ruined the few high-precision instruments in the world, he had the institute make another set.
When the experiments that used to engross him were interrupted, he listened to the cloud's chatter.
He had to take an umbrella whenever he went out on a sunny day, because torrential rain could start at any moment.
At last, his students couldn't take it anymore. "Where did this cloud come from?"
He smiled. "I raised it. No litter box to clean, which is nice."
Later, when he heard that the cloud liked eating clouds, he traveled to every corner of the world, called in favors from research institutes, and braved violent storms himself, all to bring back clouds in every flavor.
Later, after eating so well, Yun Bai evolved into a true spirit and gained a human body, becoming a soft, fluffy young boy.
But he was taller than Zhou Mu, who never went out in the sun.
Zhou Mu: ...
Yun Bai: Hehehe, experience wins in the end. Just watch me make you fall for me, little darling~
