Chapter 36 [Dream Ride Card] (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)

8 pm.

A light drizzle fell, and a cool breeze blew gently.

After exiting the subway station, Gu Wanqing couldn't help but hug her shoulders and tremble.

“It’s so cold!”

"Here, you can wear it."

Lin Shen took off his coat and draped it over Gu Wanqing's shoulders, then opened his umbrella.

People strolling along the pedestrian street were still shoulder to shoulder. It seemed that the light rain did not dampen their enthusiasm for a post-dinner walk, but instead added a touch of beauty to the atmosphere.

Along the road, the neon lights of advertisements on the tall buildings were blurred by the rain and mist, transforming into dazzling halos.

With a gentle sniff, you can even detect the fragrant scent of earth and the dampness of the soil.

"There's a river!"

Gu Wanqing pointed to the distant horizon, where she could vaguely see the Oriental Pearl Tower towering high in the clouds, and her expression instantly became excited.

"It's the Bund!"

"Let's go over there."

Lin Shen stepped into the rain with his umbrella, only to be tugged at by Gu Wanqing.

"Brother-in-law, let me hold the umbrella."

"You're too short, it'll be tiring to hold you up."

Lin Shen spoke the truth without holding back.

This made Gu Wanqing puff out her cheeks adorably and argue her point.

"1.63 meters is not short!"

"I'll grow taller in the future."

Lin Shen didn't intend to argue with Gu Wanqing about this matter. He chuckled and patted her head, only to be met with a resentful slap.

"Brother-in-law, if you keep touching me like that, I won't grow any taller!"

After saying that, Gu Wanqing suddenly reached out and took Lin Shen's arm as he held the umbrella, pressing her body tightly against his side.

"Let's go, brother-in-law."

"Ah."

Being pressed so intimately against Gu Wanqing, Lin Shen was momentarily dazed.

The fragrance of the girl's hair gave the rain a wonderful scent, which, combined with the softness of her body and her sweet, melodious voice, made the raindrops smell wonderful.

Although the buds are small, they are ready to bloom.

Lin Shen felt as if he had become several years younger and returned to eighteen during the few days he spent with Gu Wanqing.

Are you leaving tomorrow?

"Yes."

Upon learning that Gu Wanqing would be leaving Shanghai the next day, Lin Shen felt a pang of reluctance.

But he soon felt relieved.

See you when school starts in September.

"Ah."

Gu Wanqing nodded and pressed her delicate body even closer to Lin Shen.

She was standing so close, ostensibly to avoid getting wet in the rain, but only she knew her true feelings.

Although the impending farewell left Gu Wanqing feeling dejected, the romance of walking in the rain made her overjoyed, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Brother-in-law, you have to come pick me up then!"

"no problem."

Lin Shen asked curiously.

What time is your high-speed train tomorrow?

"noon."

"Then I'll take it to you."

"No need, brother-in-law! I can walk by myself."

Gu Wanqing hurriedly refused, but Lin Shen insisted.

"I won't feel at ease until I get you to the high-speed rail station."

"Nah……"

Gu Wanqing hesitated for a long time before finally telling the truth.

I'm going to meet someone tomorrow morning.

Meeting someone?

Lin Shen was somewhat puzzled.

Does Gu Wanqing still have any friends in Shanghai?

Could it be...

"Your sister?"

Upon hearing these two words, Gu Wanqing's heart trembled, and she stammered, unsure of what to say.

Seeing her like this, Lin Shen knew that his guess was correct.

"She's back from her trip?" "Yes."

Gu Wanqing nodded.

"My mom told my sister that I came to Shanghai, and she said she'd like to meet her tomorrow."

"..."

After stealing a glance at Lin Shen's expressionless face, Gu Wanqing cautiously probed.

"Brother-in-law, you're not angry, are you?"

"Why am I angry?"

Lin Shen shrugged rather nonchalantly.

"I have nothing to do with your sister anymore. Let bygones be bygones. Just don't reveal our secret to anyone."

"That's definitely not going to happen!"

Gu Wanqing said confidently, then couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

The two strolled along the pedestrian street, passing a number of old Shanghai buildings with a sense of history, and finally wandered to the Bund and went up to the observation deck.

At this moment, the shimmering river surface is fully visible, and the pale yellow lights are like a golden veil draped over the city shrouded in rain and mist, creating a beautiful and dreamlike scene.

"Wow!"

Gu Wanqing leaned on the railing with both hands and looked out, her whole being filled with excitement.

"So beautiful!"

"Visiting the Bund on a rainy day is definitely the best choice."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, looked around, and noticed that someone was filming a short video not far away.

The female model was dressed in all black, with a trench coat, a bustier-style inner layer, and shorts, holding a black umbrella in her hand, exuding a powerful and sophisticated aura.

Long legs clad in sheer black stockings strode forward, hips swaying with each step, red-soled high heels clicking on the ground, splashing tiny droplets of water.

A photographer and lighting technician followed behind them, showing their professionalism.

As Lin Shen passed by, he couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times, and his eyes met those of the female model.

Both of them were startled at the same time, and then looked away.

quite pretty.

Lin Shen pondered silently.

Although she doesn't possess Qin Yuennan's innate aloofness, she has a unique feminine charm.

She seems to be the kind of socialite who's an expert in the psychology of hooking up with rich guys.

"..."

Watching Lin Shen's departing figure, the female model was slightly stunned before the photographer brought her back to her senses.

"Xiao Zheng, let's shoot another scene."

"Good~"

……

9 pm.

Lin Shen and Gu Wanqing strolled along the Bund from south to north, but as the rain gradually intensified, they had to hurry and take the subway home.

However, he still ended up getting soaked to the bone.

When Gu Wanqing got home, her skirt and hair were soaked, and her shoes were also filled with water.

But she was incredibly excited, grinning like an idiot.

"Running in the rain is so much fun!"

"Go take a shower, don't catch a cold."

"Great!"

Seeing Gu Wanqing run into the bathroom, Lin Shen found a towel and wiped the water off his head and face before returning to the second bedroom and turning on his phone.

Lin Shen opened the scratch-off lottery ticket as usual, closed his eyes, and prayed silently.

Perhaps because he heard Lin Shen's wish, he was shocked by the amount of money that was scratched out when he opened his eyes.
