The rain poured down. Aside from the sound of raindrops hitting his umbrella and the ground, all Xiao Yuanmu could hear was the sound of the wind howling.

He felt that the congee in his hands still had remnants of warmth inside. His tightly pursed lips loosened a bit. A strong gust of wind blew against his umbrella, blowing it backwards. He subconsciously pulled it back but couldn’t help but pause when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.


He had already steadied his umbrella. Through the curtain of rain, Xiao Yuanmu stared down the road he had just walked up. A lone person stood at the four-way intersection, grey windbreaker billowing in the wind. Probably because of the gust just now, the other’s umbrella had inverted, and he was not fighting against the wind. His white t-shirt beneath his windbreaker and his grey sweats were exposed to the storm. Shortly after, they were soaked by the rain. The articles stuck tightly against that person’s skin, making him look rather lonely and pitiful.

He didn’t need a clear view—just by looking at this fuzzy silhouette, he knew for certain that this person was Song Xuanhe.

He was about to head over in his direction when he saw Song Xuanhe steady his umbrella. In a flash, the other hid behind some shrubbery. Not even the tip of the umbrella was exposed.

Xiao Yuanmu paused. A few seconds later, his lips curved into a smile. There was no one else here, so he didn’t bother covering up the upward tilt of his lips. His chuckle was full of indulgence.

From their interactions, he had long since come to understand Song Xuanhe’s temperament. He was proud, carefree, did as he wished but also had a deeply hidden softness and awkwardness to him.

At this time, if he were to expose Song Xuanhe, with the other’s personality, he would never admit it. He would probably even hold onto these grievances and purposely annoy him or say things to provoke Xiao Yuanmu. Most likely, the other would just ignore him while flying into a rage in shame.

If the former happened, Xiao Yuanmu wouldn’t care. But if the latter happened, he’d find it really difficult to bear.

Xiao Yuanmu turned around. The smile in his eyes had not yet disappeared when he heard an indistinct call. He subconsciously turned to look, but when he looked up, he was blinded by a distant light. His vision became blurry for a moment.

A black sports car came close and closer. After Xiao Yuanmu regained his vision, he was about to dodge. However, the voice he had heard came closer and closer. His mind whirled, and his steps paused. The driver of the sports car stepped on their breaks but still ended up hitting him.

Song Xuanhe ran over halfway and then paused. He didn’t know where his umbrella had gone. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Yuanmu fell to the ground. The rain pattered onto the ground as well as the other’s unconscious body. Song Xuanhe felt like his legs were glued to the ground. He couldn’t lift them no matter what he did.

He reminded Wei Chen of a little puppy he had picked up when he was young. It had also been a stormy day that time. The puppy had looked quite like this young man in the rain.

However, as soon as the young man spoke, he knew that this comparison was wrong. “Call the ambulance! What are you spacing out for?!”

Right at this moment, he heard a voice on the other end of the phone. Wei Chen coughed and repeated what had just occurred into the phone in front of the young man. After clarifying the situation, he hung up.

Wei Chen turned to look at the young man. He saw that the other was squatting down, looking like he was at a loss over what to do. He didn’t dare touch the unconscious man. He only repeatedly called out that person’s name, “Xiao Yuanmu, Xiao Yuanmu, are you OK?”
