Back to the Day I Got Caught in the Rain

[A tough girl who always gets even vs. a favored son of heaven who always takes her side]

The year Wen Yu failed her high school entrance exams, she had to stay at her current school. On the first day of classes, she met a boy. He loved wearing white shirts, had a textured curtain haircut, and was funny and unruly in conversation. Most importantly, he had come here for Wen Yu.

It was less a reunion than a meeting. He was the liar who had tricked her into coming to Zhiming three years ago, then climbed his way into a better school and a top class himself.

Karma comes around. Ending up at this private high school was a fall from grace for him, at least.

People say you can't mend a broken mirror, but the bond they shared as young people could overcome anything. Feelings lingered quietly and took root.

A bright, mild spring day, a spring hike on foot.

The drizzle tapped on the umbrella, wetting their trouser cuffs.

And she was beneath his umbrella.

She casually asked, "Do you like rainy days?"

He casually replied, "No. I hate them."

He just didn't know that Wen Yu liked rainy days.

Years later, when they talked about the weather again, he said:

"Rainy days are my favorite."

She looked a little stunned. "Didn't you used to hate them?"

He pulled Wen Yu into his arms. "When it rains, you're under my umbrella. How can that not make it a beautiful day?"

They are each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else.

They fall for each other, but won't admit it until the end.

From school uniforms to wedding dresses, with both school life and city life.

Taobao Flash Delivery was all the rage. In the height of summer, her friends raved about the orange app. One day, she decided to try ordering something herself.

"Over here." Zhou Heng grabbed Sheng Xiali by the hood like she was a kitten.

Sheng Xiali's world tilted fifteen degrees. From that slanted angle, he looked incredibly handsome.

She gave him a once-over: silver accessories, Martin boots, and slightly raised eyebrows that hinted at a mischievous streak.

He sighed, as if this happened all the time. "Your delivery."

Sheng Xiali pulled out her phone. "Can I add you on..." He cut her off before she could finish saying "WeChat."

"Hm? Want a photo together?" He took out his phone and snapped a wonderfully ugly photo of Sheng Xiali. Before she could react, he got on his motorcycle and rode off.

Delivery drivers ride motorcycles these days?

They met again at a newly opened bar. Amid the clinking glasses, he laughed arrogantly, as if declaring that every strand of his hair had a girlfriend.

"Are you a male model here?"

"Hm?" He chuckled. "You could say that."

"How much would it cost to hire you as my boyfriend?"

"You can't afford me."

Sheng Xiali immediately launched into a sob story, describing the miserable experience of being harassed by someone who confessed to her in public.

He spun his ring and agreed.

After the girl left, another male model patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder. "Boss, how come I didn't know you'd started doing this kind of work too?"
