Experience Artificial Rain

Zhu Yu froze completely, as if bombs were going off in his head.

"Um, what's your dad's name?"

"Dad?" Ji Niuniu looked up.

"Yes."

"Our dad is Ji Yu. I'm Ji Jiujiu, and my little sister is Ji Niuniu." Ji Jiujiu introduced himself.

"Ji Yu!!!"

Zhu Yu had barely reacted when Fu Boyan, sitting across the table, shot to his feet, his face filled with disbelief and longing.

"Impossible. Impossible." Though Fu Boyan said so, a suspicion still flashed through his mind.

When he was young, he and Ji Yu had once rescued two babies.

At the time, they had sent the two infants to a local orphanage.

Could Ji Yu have adopted those two children?

Zhu Yu felt as though his brain had short-circuited. Was the third book a dual-male-lead story?

Had he not read carefully enough, or had this world developed a bug?

Just as neither of them could process the information in their minds, the piano finally stopped.

Everyone present broke into enthusiastic applause.

Ji Yu bowed to everyone in the room before stepping down from the stage.

The moment he came down, he hurried to check where the two children had been eating.

It was empty. Ji Yu was startled—the two children had clearly been there just moments ago.

Ji Yu searched around frantically, and only when he spotted the children did his hanging heart slowly settle.

But when he saw the man behind them, Ji Yu froze where he stood.

Fu Boyan. It really was Fu Boyan.

Ji Yu could not hold back, and his eyes immediately reddened.

"Ji Yu, shouldn't you give me an explanation for leaving without saying goodbye back then?" Fu Boyan looked at Ji Yu with eyes full of deep affection.

The two gazed at each other tenderly as though no one else existed around them.

Ji Jiujiu and Ji Niuniu looked at their dad, then at this unfamiliar uncle.

Zhu Yu had gone completely numb. Standing beside the two little ones and watching the scene, he found something increasingly off about it.

Had this world finally glitched itself into madness?

Just as Zhu Yu felt like he was about to ascend to immortality, Shen Jingmo, Li Yiyan, and an unfamiliar man walked over.

"Boyan, what are you doing making a scene in public? Didn't I tell you this restaurant had no tables available today? How did you get in?" The unfamiliar man looked at Fu Boyan the moment he approached.

"Brother..." Fu Boyan pressed his lips together.

Shen Jingmo raised an eyebrow at Zhu Yu, who was crouching where he stood with tear-filled eyes.

Zhu Yu quickly stood and walked over to Shen Jingmo's side.

[Boss can see you. This is seriously the best. I nearly lost my soul just now. Didn't they say Ji Yu was a girl? How did he become a boy?]

Shen Jingmo and Li Yiyan exchanged a glance before looking at the baby-faced young man before them. A girl?

Fu Bo'en frowned. Who was speaking?

"Who was talking just now?"

...The air fell silent.

"Brother, are you hearing things? Who was talking just now?" Fu Boyan looked at his older brother in confusion.

"How could I be? There was clearly someone. He said—" Before Fu Bo'en could finish, Li Yiyan covered his mouth.

Shen Jingmo's eyes flickered. It seemed Fu Bo'en could hear it too. Did that mean he was also lingering on the brink of death?

Fu Bo'en looked at Li Yiyan in confusion. Li Yiyan shook his head and gave him a meaningful look.

Only then did Fu Bo'en shut his mouth and stop mentioning that someone had spoken just now.

Ji Yu looked at the man before him, then at himself. Sure enough, he and Fu Boyan were not from the same world. There was no future for them at all.

At that thought, Ji Yu's expression turned completely indifferent, and the affection in his eyes slowly faded. Since there was no future to see, there was no need for a beginning.

"Mr. Fu, if there's nothing else, I'll take the children and leave first." After saying that, Ji Yu took the two little ones by the hand and prepared to head back.

Fu Boyan looked at him in disbelief and blocked the path of the father and his two children.

"You really have nothing to say to me?"

"No." Ji Yu met Fu Boyan's eyes directly.

Fu Boyan's eyes reddened with anger, his breath coming heavily as he looked at Ji Yu, who was still just as unwilling to bow his head as he had been in their youth.

Zhu Yu watched with great interest from the side. This was far more entertaining than the previous two couples. Though it was a little beyond his expectations, chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium stories really were eternal classics.

[I love chasing-your-wife-to-the-crematorium stories. Give me more.]

[A pale face, hollow eyes, and a shattered heart!]

[Bloodshot eyes, fists with bulging veins, and an aching heart!]

[Their love is both sorrowful and restrained, yet it drives people crazy. I want to see it.]

[If this became a TV series, I'd definitely buy a membership for it. There aren't many dramas worth getting a membership for.]

Hearing the strange voice again, Fu Bo'en looked around, but he had to admit that it described the scene rather vividly.

Shen Jingmo looked at Zhu Yu standing beside him, like a little squirrel eager to crack nuts while watching the drama unfold.

Li Yiyan, meanwhile, applied those words to the two people in front of him. It was not merely a good fit—it was a perfect fit.

After saying his piece, Ji Yu directly led the two children out of the restaurant.

Fu Boyan maintained his pride and did not try to stop him. His eyes merely remained fixed on Ji Yu's retreating back, as though he would rush forward the instant Ji Yu paused or turned around.

But Ji Yu neither stopped nor turned back.

Watching the scene before him, Zhu Yu felt as though something was still missing.

After thinking it over, Zhu Yu suddenly noticed a family at a nearby table dining with their child, who had a water gun beside them.

Zhu Yu quietly walked over, borrowed the water gun, and filled it to the brim. Fortunately, Fu Boyan was standing near the entrance, where there was an open space.

Zhu Yu sprayed Fu Boyan with it. To his surprise, the water gun had quite a few holes, and spraying it from a distance really did look like rain.

Feeling the water on his head, Fu Boyan silently raised a hand and flicked his bangs.

"Is even heaven grieving for our love?"

Zhu Yu sprayed for a while, but the water was limited. He lowered the water gun, quietly walked over, and heard Fu Boyan sigh those words.

"Big brother, I'm the one grieving for your love."

Hearing that, Fu Boyan instinctively turned to look at Zhu Yu and the water gun in his hand. His expression shifted from green to white.

"Hahahahahaha!" Li Yiyan truly could not hold it in any longer.

Shen Jingmo curled his lips, then pulled Zhu Yu behind him when he noticed Fu Boyan could no longer restrain himself from making a move.

Even Fu Bo'en, normally such a serious person, could not help relaxing his expression at the comical scene.
