Cloudy With Light Rain

Sweet, high-EQ angel × cold, dad-like ice block

Nine-year age gap | A bittersweet unrequited love, with the male lead falling later

-

At a bar celebrating a friend's birthday, Du Yuzhen had the terrible luck of being the first to lose a warm-up game.

For her punishment, Friend A promptly suggested, "Go ask that handsome guy at the next table for his WeChat. Don't tell him we're playing a game."

Friend B eagerly added, "And tell him, 'I want to kiss you!'"

In the subtly flirtatious atmosphere, Du Yuzhen lowered her eyes and slowly made her way toward the next table, each step a struggle.

Her friends, cheering her on, had no idea:

In the shadowy angles carved out by the light sat a refined, dignified man surrounded by admirers.

He was, in name, Du Yuzhen's uncle.

-

Her gaze took in a pair of immaculate suit trousers, then traveled upward. The sharply defined planes of his face looked almost feral in their beauty.

After parting her lips several times, she finally managed to make her request in a timid voice.

A friend who knew Shen Qian'an's cold and distant nature hurried to stop her, afraid she'd be hurt and embarrassed. "Hey, miss, you don't know this guy. He..."

The unfinished warning twisted and turned before finally being silenced by Shen Qian'an raising his phone.

A beep, and a new contact named S quietly appeared in Du Yuzhen's contacts.

Du Yuzhen had been pining for Shen Qian'an's WeChat for ten years.

-

Just as she was about to turn and leave in a fluster, a deep, magnetic voice called her back.

"Leaving already?" Shen Qian'an parted his thin lips, his tone unhurried. "I seem to have heard..."

"That someone wanted to kiss me?"

After the party ended that day, a group chat bringing together Friends A, B, C, and the rest was flooded with lavish red envelopes. The taciturn benefactor sent just one text.

[Hush money.]

His name was as simple as his manner:

Just one letter, S.
