1)
On her way to report to the broadcasting club, she passed the school's only music room.
Tang Jia paused, then turned and entered the room she had never set foot in before.
It wasn't very bright inside. The curtains were drawn, leaving only a sliver of light.
A tall, straight-backed boy stood with his side to her. As the final note abruptly stopped, Tang Jia met his eyes as he turned to look at her.
He paused and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"
Tang Jia hugged the speech in her arms tightly and shook her head. "I came in to get out of the rain."
2)
During a study break, the heaviest rain in days came pouring down.
The weather bureau warned residents to stay indoors to avoid flooding and other disasters.
Tang Jia gazed at the dark, roiling clouds outside and thought that the heavens were crying without a shred of mercy.
Just as she was about to close the window, she caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Tang Jia hurried downstairs and called to the person standing in the rain with an umbrella: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Qingyu clasped his hands behind his back and hurried over, bringing the chill of the rain with him. "The rain started so suddenly. I was passing by and came in to get out of it."
3)
After graduating from their final year of high school, someone organized a class reunion.
At some point, someone suggested playing a game.
The rules were that the two people picked had to share something they had never been honest about.
The bottle spun across the table, making a steady scraping sound. At last it stopped, pointing at Tang Jia and Xu Qingyu from either end.
Tang Jia took a deep breath and looked across at him. "When we met in the music room, it was actually a sunny day."
In the baffled silence, Xu Qingyu said, "The time I passed by your building, I had an umbrella with me."
