"Wait!"
Seeing this, Lin Xiao moved to stop Yan.
This umbrella wasn't something he could just open on a whim.
But...
It was already too late to stop him.
Whoosh!
The black umbrella opened, and a downpour fell from beneath its canopy.

"Well..."
Yan paused. "When you put it that way, it isn't completely useless."
Seeing this, Hu Liena clenched her little fists and encouraged him. "Yan, don't lose heart. I'm sure you'll
