August 6, 2025, Wednesday.
17°C to 26°C, with moderate to heavy rain, a level-three southeasterly wind, and 66% humidity.
"According to the Central Weather Bureau, due to a Jianghuai cyclone, Modu is expected to experience a full day of heavy rainfall starting today..."
POUR—!
Deep, ink-black clouds hung low in the sky. Fat raindrops hammered against the window, RAT-A-TAT-TAT, scattering into sparkling droplets.
This was the scene that greeted Lin Shen as he sat on the edge of his bed, gazing out the window.
At 8:00 AM, Modu was dim and gloomy.
'Looks like I won't be able to go out today.'
Suddenly, a profound sense of desolation and loneliness bloomed in Lin Shen's heart.
He liked the rain, but weather like this often made him feel lonely.
Lin Shen took a few deep breaths, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up. There, he happened to run into Gu Wanqing.
"You're up, Brother-in-law!"
