He's Waiting for the Rain, Too, by Fo Ma Ji

The first time Wen Yu met Ji Yunzhou was at a private gathering hosted by her brother, Wen Zhuo.

The room was full of wealthy young heirs. After a few rounds of drinks, they were all quite drunk.

Wen Yu stood on the balcony in a fitted, fiery-red dress that accentuated her curves. One strap had slipped slightly. She reached up to adjust it, a cigarette between her fingers, but couldn't find a lighter.

A hand suddenly reached out beside her. Long, slender, and fair, with distinct knuckles, it offered her an S.T. Dupont lighter.

As the flame flickered to life, she looked up and saw the man who'd offered it: Ji Yunzhou, her brother's good friend and rival in love.

Later, she asked a waiter to return the lighter, along with a black key card.

Ji Yunzhou glanced at her from across the crowd.

She smiled at him, then turned away, leaving behind a cool, aloof silhouette.

After that, she waited for him in the penthouse suite.

The second time they met was in a city she was visiting.

A torrential downpour trapped her at a street corner. She couldn't go anywhere and had no umbrella.

An Aston Martin pulled up in front of her, and the window rolled down. It was Ji Yunzhou.

He glanced at her and asked no questions. “Get in.”

That night, they stayed in the same suite at the same hotel.

The rain against the floor-to-ceiling windows drowned out every ragged breath.

It was late August, and the rainy season wasn't over yet.

When the door to Ji Yunzhou's home opened, he immediately pulled up the blanket to cover Wen Ning, whose face was flushed beside him.

Someone rushed in, and everything descended into chaos.

Wen Zhuo's fist struck his face. He didn't dodge, only raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at Wen Yu and suddenly smiled, his voice low and languid. “Well, now you have to give me a title. Otherwise, I took that beating for nothing.”

Outside, the rain fell in fine sheets, pressing against the glass layer after layer.

Wen Yu looked at him and suddenly smiled too. “If it rains tomorrow, we'll go register our marriage.”

Ji Yunzhou fell silent for two seconds, then nodded. “Okay.”

Ji Yunzhou had never done anything shameful in his life. The one and only time was when he stole his good friend's little sister away.
