The Kindhearted Girl Gets a Wife

After graduation, the aimless Pei Yunle, due to her excessive indulgence, is packed up by her mother and sent back to the countryside to “reflect.”

The southern town is perpetually shrouded in mist, its white bricks and blue tiles nestled in the twilight haze.

But Pei Yunle has no appreciation for this rural charm. She only finds it damp and dreary everywhere she looks—the bed is harder than a rock, the food is blander than plain water, the house is always full of various insects and spiders, and there are terrifying sounds coming from the mountain behind it.

To make matters worse, the person living in the room next door is a mute girl. For the talkative Pei Yunle, it’s enough to make her break down 800 times a day.

When Chen Qingtang went to the town entrance to pick up Pei Yunle, the girl had pink hair and was dressed in an alternative “Y2K” style. She was fiercely arguing with a few men who had been spreading rumors about her, looking for all the world like she wasn’t afraid of anything.

Pei Yunle has the temper of a pampered princess and often loses it with Chen Qingtang. She’s prone to making scenes and crying.

Until one rainy night, Pei Yunle knocks on Chen Qingtang’s door. She’s trembling all over, her pale pink lips have turned white, and her damp eyelashes flutter. She looks just like a pitiful, homeless puppy.

“Chen Qingtang, I’m sick…”

Listening to her describe the symptoms, Chen Qingtang has never heard of such an illness. But she is a kindhearted person, and as Pei Yunle’s requests become more and more forward, she can only retreat again and again.

Pei Yunle finally gets used to the hard wooden bed—as long as she’s sleeping in Chen Qingtang’s arms.

During the final advance, Chen Qingtang tries to refuse her. She shakes her head helplessly, and with tears in her eyes, she writes: [You’re bullying me.]

Pei Yunle’s pitiful act vanishes. Like a snake, she coils herself around Chen Qingtang’s soft body and coaxes, “I know you can’t speak. How about this: when you can’t take it anymore, just kiss me, and I’ll know.”

Chen Qingtang hears this, and believes it. She uses the last of her strength to kiss Pei Yunle.

Pei Yunle smiles and asks, “Is this a reward for doing a good job?”

The mute girl, Chen Qingtang, is so angry she wishes she could open her mouth and curse her out.

Pei Yunle has a condition the doctors call “weather-related syndrome.” Whenever it rains, she becomes extremely sensitive to the cold, regardless of the season or temperature. She needs something soft and warm, and nothing is more suitable than Chen Qingtang.

“Treading on barren ground, here lies the rain I despise. Only you, a touch of green, can shelter me.”
