Flood Season Is Coming

Small-town fiction / slow burn / lovers become official / both leads are inexperienced

1.

Li Lingyi is well-behaved and reserved, with a low ponytail and a baggy school uniform that hangs loosely on her slender frame. To her family, friends, and classmates, she's a model girl.

But Chen Feihui has seen her by the river more than once, holding a cigarette in one hand. After the smoke rises, her dark eyes can be glimpsed, surging like a rushing current.

He thinks she's interesting and goes over to ask for her contact information. She doesn't refuse, but the two of them never send each other a single message.

2.

After graduation, Li Lingyi follows her parents' wishes and stays in the county town, becoming an elementary school Chinese teacher.

Later, she runs into Chen Feihui at a bar called Afterglow.

Chen Feihui is chatting with friends when a message arrives on his phone.

"Are you still a virgin?"

He laughs in irritation, about to curse and block the sender. Then he sees the sender's name, which is just a "."

He pauses, then finally types, "Yes."

His friend notices his strange expression and the redness spreading over his ears, and asks what's going on.

Chen Feihui tells his friend to get lost.

The next moment, the screen lights up.

It's a hotel location.

"I don't think you've ever told me you love me," Li Lingyi says.

Chen Feihui, on his way to the bathroom, chuckles and looks into her eyes. "Li Lingyi, you don't love me. How do you have the nerve to ask me that?"

Chen Feihui knows that Li Lingyi sees him as nothing more than a puppy she can use to pass the time.

He's accepted being her puppy, but that's not enough for her. She wants the puppy's heart, too.

Li Lingyi smiles. "All right, then. Let's end this relationship."

Chen Feihui's face darkens as he walks up to her. "Why?"

"You got a piercing. You're not pure anymore."

Li Lingyi says it matter-of-factly and lights a cigarette for herself.

As the smoke spreads, Chen Feihui's eyes turn red. "Li Lingyi, you were the one who told me to get the damn thing pierced!"

Note: The female lead's comment only applies to the male lead. She's just looking for an excuse to dump him. She supports everyone's right to choose to get piercings!
