The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 295: Gu Yuan Says: Carry Me Upstairs

At ten o’clock in the evening, it really started to rain.

Chi Yu looked up at the sky; the rain was quite heavy. He felt elated as if taking flight, but showed a slightly troubled expression: "How did it suddenly start raining heavily? The weather forecast didn’t mention it. I didn’t bring an umbrella when I left."

He didn’t intend to borrow an umbrella from the old caretaker.

If he actually borrowed an umbrella, he would definitely have to leave.

He had to first dash into the rain and get soaked, to have a convincingly drenched appearance.

Before the old caretaker could say anything, Chi Yu had already plunged headfirst into the heavy rain. ’Luckily,’ Uncle Xiang quickly grabbed him as he was about to dash into the rain and shouted: "Mr. Chi! Mr. Chi! Wait a moment!"

Chi Yu was pulled back.

Uncle Xiang said: "The rain is too heavy, why don’t you sit here at the Gu Mansion for a while, and wait until it lets up before you go home."

Chi Yu looked up at the sky again, and then around, sounding as though he was intruding: "It’s so late, won’t it be too much of a disturbance? And by the time the rain lightens, it might be very late."

Uncle Xiang hospitably said: "Mr. Chi, please wait a moment; I’ll arrange a car."

Chi Yu politely replied: "Really, it’s no trouble, I’ll hail a cab myself."

With that, he made a move to dash into the rain again, but Uncle Xiang quickly stopped him: "Mr. Chi, please wait a little longer, I’ll arrange for someone to drive you, they’ll be here soon, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Uncle Xiang hurried to make arrangements.

Chi Yu pondered, if he dashed into the rain now, could a cold come immediately?

But colds aren’t like the wind, you can’t summon them at will, though the rain still needed to be dashed through. So, Chi Yu stepped down the steps, braving the wind and rain as he moved forward. From his current position, it was over a hundred meters to the direction of the big iron gate of the Gu Mansion, and more than two hundred meters to get out of the perimeter of the mansion...

Chi Yu only calculated this hundred meters’ distance.

A hundred meters was enough for him to get drenched like a drowned rat.

The arch top of the big iron gate had a place to shelter from the rain, Chi Yu ran all the way there, getting soaked by the rain. As per his plan, he should first stand there to shelter from the rain.

He only needed to take a few more steps, and the electronic gate would sense someone wanting to go out, opening up the small gate for him to exit.

After standing for a minute, Chi Yu took out his phone from his soaked pocket.

His whole body was drenched, and naturally, the phone in his pocket was ruined too.

He slowly squatted down and did something incredibly foolish—he placed his phone on the ground, letting it get soaked and washed by the rain.

He even flipped the phone over, like grilling squid, turning it over to ensure both sides got grilled, until the phone completely shut down, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He was so focused on grilling—grilling his phone—that he didn’t notice someone behind him walking towards him with an umbrella.

His body was soaked, and the phone was unusable, truly a sorry sight, yet the sorrier he was, the happier Chi Yu felt. He was preparing to grab the phone and go back to act pitiful when the rain suddenly diminished a lot.

Until it disappeared completely.

Chi Yu thought the rain might be stopping, his eyelids twitched: "No way, just this little rain?"

Not impressive at all!

Artificial rain costs money, how could it be so little?!

When Chi Yu was utterly depressed, a voice came from behind: "Aren’t you getting up yet."

Upon hearing this voice—

Chi Yu: "..."

He slowly turned his head back, slowly looking up.

There was a black umbrella. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The person holding the umbrella still had dry clothes, but the fitted pants were soaked through in large patches, and their house slippers were also completely drenched.

The night was deep, and the rain showed no sign of stopping, the raindrops drumming on the ground, splashing water everywhere. Not a single spot on Chi Yu’s body was untouched by the rain.

His short hair, dark as ink, was straggling and clinging to his forehead like a soaked golden retriever after being washed by the rain.

He looked both bedraggled and embarrassed.

"Yuanyuan..." He wasn’t sure whether she had seen his previous antics, making him very nervous.

Gu Yuan said: "My arm’s getting tired, why aren’t you standing up yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, he immediately stood up.

But because he stood up so abruptly, being quite tall, Gu Yuan’s umbrella tilted backward slightly, causing rain to spill and soak a large portion of her clothing.

Chi Yu got even more flustered, instinctively reaching his hand forward.

But then he realized he was completely drenched, and the hand he stretched forward awkwardly froze in mid-air.

Gu Yuan adjusted the umbrella back, raising it a bit higher, barely covering them both.

This umbrella was big enough to cover them both amply. Saying it barely covered them was due to them maintaining some distance between them; he didn’t dare get too close to her.
