The summer night's downpour came hard and fast.
The doors of the Tea Fruit Formula shop were shut tight, keeping out the torrential rain that had suddenly come pouring down.
Bean-sized raindrops battered the display windows with a dense, deafening rattle, instantly dividing the world into two entirely different spaces, inside and out.
Chen Shi'an had expected rain tonight, but he hadn't expected it to suddenly come down so hard.
Li Wanyin had expected it even less. Safe and sheltered inside the shop, she even seemed a little excited by the downpour, as she had been as a child. She walked over to the window and watched the curtain of rain woven into fine silver threads beneath the streetlights outside, her thoughts unknown.
"It's raining so hard..."
"Yeah. This must be the heaviest rain we've had since summer began."
"Shi'an, did you bring a raincoat and an umbrella?"
"No. I thought it wouldn't rain until I got home."
"Hahaha, you were so confident!"
Li Wanyin couldn't help laughing. There wasn't a trace of distress on her face at being stranded here by the rain. After all, this was her shop, and the person she wanted to see was right beside her.
If she were still working at a company elsewhere, rain this heavy would have left her worried and anxious.
"You're still laughing, Sister Wanyin? How are we going to get home later?"
"Hmph~ You're talking about me, but you don't look worried at all yourself~"
Of course Chen Shi'an wasn't worried. With his current Taoist attainment and magic power, although he couldn't stop this rain, he could make that rain cloud disperse briefly.
The weather was part of nature, and he rarely interfered with it himself. Seeing that Sister Wanyin wasn't in any hurry to leave, he simply sat
