Back during the autumn outing, it was under the nickname "Rainy Day" that Wang Yuezhi questioned Ding Sihan's malicious photoshopping of Lin Li in her social circle.

The move was to defend Lin Li's dignity, of course, but also to defend the fact that the red nose should be a special bond between himself and Chen Yu Ying.

To this day, even knowing that Chen Yu Ying is already with Lin Li, Wang Yuezhi hasn't changed this nickname.

It's not that he still has lingering feelings, just that Wang Yuezhi thinks if he changed his nickname right after that weekend, it would be too obvious. If Chen Yu Ying noticed, she would definitely feel sorry, or even not know how to interact with him anymore, which is what Wang Yuezhi doesn't want.

It's best to part on good terms without letting things become awkward.

Nice guy, bro, you know?

Whatever issue arises, just take it on yourself, swallow all the bitterness, and as for the nickname, just make do.

But now...

No! What did rainy days do to offend you? Why so disliked!?

Even though he knew they both were actually complaining about the weather, Wang Yuezhi couldn't help letting the scene evoke personal emotions, feeling self-pity.

Drip, drip, in reality, raindrops fall from the tip of the umbrella, gathering into a small puddle at his feet.

Drip, drip, in his heart, tears roll down his cheeks, forming a small puddle under his chin.

So sour, so bitter, so hard to swallow...

How to describe the discomfort of this moment?

Wang Yuezhi thought for a moment; it's roughly like when washing dishes in the cold winter, the sleeve of a rolled-up jacket quietly slips down during the action, while the sweater cuff stubbornly shrinks up on the upper arm, the wet and cold fabric clinging to the skin, itchy and irritating.

Fatal? No, but it feels like ants crawling all over the body.

Sighing, Wang Yuezhi turned and prepared to walk into the classroom.

F*ck!

Your mom! Why is there a puddle of water on the ground! It's so slippery!

Which groove... oh, it's the water that my umbrella just dripped, then it's fine.

Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying heard the noise and turned around, seeing Wang Yuezhi slip but manage to stabilize himself before Lin Li even had a chance to rush over to help, eventually walking into the classroom.

What a pity.

The two exchanged a glance and didn't pay it much mind.

Actually, Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying didn't even know Wang Yuezhi's nickname was "Rainy Day"; with nicknames, they only appear in one's view on social media. For others, if there's a note, the note is prioritized.

Wang Yuezhi is just Wang Yuezhi, what's this Rainy Day stuff?

"So," Lin Li refocused on the girl before him, subconsciously softening his voice: "Have you figured out the weekend plans?"

Sunday Chen Yu Ying had to stay home for a competition tutoring session in the afternoon, so Lin Li wasn't sure if she had planned anything out.

"I've planned them out." Just mentioning this topic made Chen Yu Ying's lips curl upwards, her eyes clear and bright, her tone light-hearted: "I've come up with several plans."

"Rainy days have their own romance, sunny days have places to visit; there are plans to start dating really early in the morning until late at night under a sky full of stars, and there are more limited arrangements in case you have something to do."

"Specifically," Chen Yu Ying deliberately dragged out her tone, her hair tips gently swaying with each movement, her voice melodious: "We have to wait until Friday to check the weather and your schedule to decide."

"You've thought of so much."

Lin Li's voice was full of surprise, his smile warm.

As for why only his schedule mattered, the implication was that Chen Yu Ying had already cleared her schedule completely.

It was obvious Lin Li had to respond.

"I'm free the whole weekend, even if you don't let me go home at night to be with you, it's fine."

Seeing the hallway momentarily devoid of attention, Lin Li stretched out his still slightly cool hand that had just flicked away raindrops, gently brushing Chen Yu Ying's delicate cheek with it, lowering his voice.

Nothing should trouble me this week.

For the driving exams, call Yu Jian'an at noon to arrange for them next week and just skip this one; it's difficult to schedule it this week anyway.

Anything else can wait too.

"Wishful thinking~" Rubbing her cheek with the back of her hand, Chen Yu Ying cast a playful look at Lin Li.

Then, quite naturally, Chen Yu Ying grabbed Lin Li's arm, transferring the water droplets from her hand onto Lin Li's shirt.

"So what are the sunny and rainy day versions of the plans?" Lin Li didn't mind the action, just curious.

"Not telling you."

"Why?"

Upon hearing Lin Li's question, Chen Yu Ying was about to reply, but then seemed to think of something amusing; she laughed before speaking, her voice like wind chimes swaying.

In the face of Lin Li's curious gaze, she stifled her laughter, stood on tiptoe slightly, leaned in closer to Lin Li, and in an almost enchanting, teasing tone, she spoke softly:

"Because, Lin Li, I want you to have no idea what's coming next and feel confused, helpless, and maybe a little panicky. Then when you realize the only person you can rely on and seek direction from is me, you'll cling tightly to me, begging me not to go."

Lin Li: "(≧﹀≦)!!"

So cute.

What an evil and adorable, wickedly great plan!

His heart felt as if it were lightly tickled by a feather, both itchy and sweet.

If it weren't for the fact that they're at school, and the God-forsaken surveillance cameras in the hallway, Lin Li would definitely want to misbehave right now.

Just tightly hugging Ying Bao and asking her not to leave?
