"Late-night snack?"

Huang Fang refused and turned to look out at the storm. "Where are you? The rain is so loud."

Jiang Nian: "By the small gate, sheltering from the rain. Do you want me to bring an umbrella?"

"No..." Huang Fang's voice became muffled, as if she had moved the phone away, only fragmented sounds could be heard.

"Are you going...at the small gate...the rain is pretty heavy...."

"Hello?"

"Yeah." Jiang Nian was baffled but responded before asking curiously, "Fangfang, where are you?"

"In the classroom."

"Huh?" Jiang Nian hesitated, thinking about who would stay in the classroom when break starts, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"With..."

Boom! A fierce thunder struck on the field and was only about twenty meters away from the group of boys.

"Whoa! Whoa!!"

A few of them jumped up, startled by the lightning, unable to leave as they were trapped at the small gate.

"The power of nature... sigh." Lin Dong lamented, "No wonder elementary school has a course called Humans and Nature."

"Indeed, one must have a sense of reverence." Yang Qiming agreed, "But on rainy days, there should be snails."

Jiang Nian hung up the phone, "There should be some by the flowerbed."

"Are they edible?" Huang Caicai perked up.

"No." Lin Dong, idle, decided to give him a science lesson. "There are only a few edible kinds..."

Jiang Nian, bored, simply listened along. Suddenly, he looked up and saw someone moving through the rain.

A blurry figure holding an umbrella was walking toward them.

"Hmm?"

"Someone's coming over; they can't open the small gate, right?"

"Yeah, it'll be a wasted trip."

Until the person came closer, they all saw and their expressions changed. Stunned, mouths agape.

"Whoa, Yu Zhiyi?"

"What are you doing here? You can't leave through the small gate."

"It's not... I came to bring an umbrella." Yu Zhiyi was a bit embarrassed; why were there so many people?

Huang Fang didn't mention it!

She only said Jiang Nian was at the small gate, stuck because of the rain. What's up with this sixth group?

One by one, none of them were good people.

On her way there, Yu Zhiyi fantasized about moving the umbrella, imagining the other person would be moved.

Now, she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"An umbrella?"

Lin Dong and the others focused on the black umbrella in her hand, only enough for one person.

"This umbrella is too small, we have four people here."

Yu Zhiyi: "..."

After her embarrassment, she turned to Jiang Nian. But seeing him still smiling, she suddenly got angry.

Still smiling!!

Yu Zhiyi thought to herself, school time was running out, and it's almost Dragon Boat Festival, not likely to meet often.

Only one week left upon returning; being bold doesn't hurt.

She took a deep breath and said, "This big umbrella is for you three; I'll share this small one with Jiang Nian."

With that, she gently placed the large umbrella on the ground. Then, she braced herself and said to Jiang Nian.

"Let's go!!"

In the almost stunned expressions of Lin Dong and the others, Jiang Nian was thus pulled away by the blushing Yu Zhiyi.

As they walked a distance, Jiang Nian asked.

"Where's Fangfang?"

"In the upstairs classroom." Yu Zhiyi still feeling hot-faced, calmed down and didn't feel like facing reality.

Various rumors and consequences flashed through her mind.

"Do you think... what I did just now might..."

"Ha." Jiang Nian sneered slightly, "Now you're scared, weren't you just being assertive back there?"

Yu Yourong originally just felt awkward, but upon hearing that, she instantly became angry and jabbed him.

"You really are... really annoying!"

Outside, the rain like beans fell with a splash. Around the two of them, a layer of white rain mist appeared.

"Don't move around." Jiang Nian was speechless, since the space under the umbrella was already small, and she was moving.

Something soft, hmm...

Yu Zhiyi also felt it, her face turned red.

"Oh."

The path was neither too long nor too short, and the rain sounded like knocking on the umbrella. She pursed her lips and leaned closer to Jiang Nian.

Her mind was in chaos, sometimes thinking about how she washed her hair yesterday and it should be fragrant.

Then a little devil popped up at her ear, whispering bad ideas.

"Oh, no, no!" Her face reddened to the point of dropping blood, feeling that even her breath carried his scent.

However, the next moment she snapped back.

"What's not okay?" Jiang Nian leaned back slightly, looking at her with a strange expression, "Tsk tsk."

The other's flirtatious gaze made Yu Zhiyi feel mortified beyond measure, thinking today's situation was too over-the-top.

"No… it's not what you think."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing!!" Yu Zhiyi felt her soft body regain some strength due to anger.

In the misty rain, they were about to reach the teaching building. Her heart beat increasingly fast, thumping loudly.

In her ears, she seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing, distinct from the rain, excessively noisy.

The rational part of her whispered timidly inside.

Don't.

....

"Wait, they just left like that?" Yang Qiming was straightforward, staying blankly for a long time.

The blow was somewhat overwhelming.

"Yeah, what else could they do?" Lin Dong sighed, the scene was quite a shock to him too.

He didn't have any thoughts about Yu Zhiyi, just pure envy that Jiang Nian chose Soraka.

Damn it, Soraka player.

Huang Caicai, belatedly aware, rubbed his belly and asked, "Are they dating?"

Dating elephant?

Such a dated term?

Lin Dong suppressed his desire to retort, shook his head and said, "If they are, that would be good."

"Why?" Huang Caicai asked.

"Someone like Yu Zhiyi doesn't lack boys pursuing her. Jiang Nian's more of a player and wouldn't easily fall for it."

Lin Dong glanced at his cousin and lowered his voice.

"I suspect..."

Hearing this, Yang Qiming felt even worse. Holding his chest painfully, wishing he could faint on the spot.

"Comparing oneself to others, Yu Zhiyi doesn't need to aim for what?"
