On Pei Yao's twentieth birthday, rain poured down in sheets. But he had finally put his life on track. Dressed in an expensive suit, he was on his way to buy a cake for one.
At the entrance to the police station, he saw a child huddled there, soaked through.
The child seemed to have been hungry for a long time. His bony frame was wrapped in filthy, crumpled, rain-soaked clothes. Pei Yao met his eyes, so bright and as fragile as glass. The child tugged at his jacket and said, "Bro, can I work for you? I only need enough to eat. I'm a beta, so I won't affect you."
Because the child called him "Bro," Pei Yao bought a cake for two and went home with a grubby little stray in tow.
The child caught a cold whenever he got soaked in the rain, and ran a fever whenever he caught a cold.
The child was well-behaved. He could smile, act sweet, and do housework.
Pei Yao couldn't bring himself to abandon him, so he registered the child and named him Pei Zhou.
The child asked, "Why Zhou?"
Pei Yao made up an answer on the spot. "Yao means dawn without the sun, the dark of night. Your name, Zhou, means daytime." In truth, it was simply because when he found the child, the sky was darkening and daylight was almost gone.

Pei Zhou had thought he would die before anyone called him Pei Zhou.
But a kind-hearted god had taken him home.
And given him a name.
Dawn had come.
