Zhao Yunlan, who had just transferred to Beijing University in his second year, got lost in a secluded wooded area and took shelter under a tree from the unwarned rainfall.
"Just my luck! I shouldn't have taken shortcuts." as he shook the rainwater from his hair.
The wind swooshed with a low whimpering sound, which immediately sent chills up his spine. His eyes scanned left, right and up, noticing he was under the willow tree. He gulped hard and started cursing his childhood friend Da Qing, who made him stay up late to watch a series of ghost movies. Like 'The Ring' wasn't enough, he had to end it with 'The Willow Tree Ghost,' which was still freshly engraved in his mind.
"Wh-who's there?" Yunlan quivered from hearing the unceasing whimpering again.
He quickly grabbed a stick and followed the sound to the other side of the tree. "Don't joke with me!" Yunlan was about to whack the entity but noticed it was a feeble boy crouching against the tree.
The boy had his head between his knees while covering his ears. Yunlan listened closer and noticed that the boy was counting numbers. It was so obvious he was scared of something but what?
Thunder began to roar louder, and that was when Yunlan found out, seeing the boy shuddered with every boom. He quickly took out his headphones.
The boy, who got lost in his reading, failed to notice that the rain was coming. Once he knew, it was already too late to leave. All he could do was crouch down and endure until the storm would pass. But suddenly, his own hands that covered his ears were now replaced by a soothing melody.
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together. Brighter than a lucky penny, when you're near, the rain goes disappear dear, and I feel so fine! Just to know that you are mine.
After feeling much calmer, the boy finally dared to raise his head. And for the first time ever, he felt immense warmth.
The autumn breeze blew when eyes met, and hearts struck. Two boys who got lost for a reason found each other under the willow tree.

"Hi, I'm Zhao Yunlan."
"I'm Shen-Shen Wei."

After days of gaze following, Yunlan found Shen Wei quite intriguing to watch. An introvert with a monotone expression. A habitual guy who kept to a repetitive routine. Something seemed unusual. But hey! Who doesn't have an odd side? Yunlan unquestionably does.
