The lingering drizzle drifted tirelessly over the entire city, and the air was filled with the smell of moist water molecules.
The weather was perfect for a small gathering with friends.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe, one could clearly see a very lonely figure. His eyes were sometimes melancholic and sometimes empty, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
He was Kim Ji-woo. He was a very complicated boy.
Kim Ji-woo liked rainy days. He liked the tranquility and sadness brought by the rain. He liked to stay alone and think about things on rainy days. Kim Ji-woo often thought that rain was the cloud's longing for the earth. When it rained, it must be the cloud in the sky that missed the earth below. That was why she transformed into rain and floated down from the sky, seeping into the earth to relieve the cloud's longing for the earth. But who was Jin Jiyu missing now? He was probably the only one who knew.
Inside the cafe, the gentle and soothing piano music, along with the aroma of coffee, floated in every corner of the hall. It was quiet, with a hint of sadness and melancholy. It seemed to match the weather outside seamlessly, but it made people not have the heart to break its tranquility and sadness.
Li Huiyuan was an exception.
"Kim Ji-woo!" A 100-decibel female voice broke the silence. Everyone's eyes turned to the cute girl with big eyes at the door. It was hard to believe that such a high-decibel voice came from this seemingly weak and obedient girl. The tall and handsome boy standing beside her, who was Huiyuan's boyfriend, Han Youbin, also looked at her in surprise and was at a loss.
"Here!" Kim Ji-woo, who was sitting by the window, waved at them, afraid that Hye Woon would fly into a rage again and scare the surrounding Fei crowd.
"Did you take the wrong medicine today? Why did you shout my name so loudly?”
"Hehe, if I didn't call you that, how would I know where you were?”As she spoke, she didn't forget to mischievously wink at Kim Ji-woo.
"But you don't have to be so loud?"
"I'm doing this to increase your popularity. Think about it, if I shout at you like this, who knows how many beautiful women will follow my voice and look at your handsome man. At that time, if you bring a beautiful woman over, I don't know how you'll thank me!”
"Tsk, you're the one with the most ideas and tricks! Aren't you afraid that it'll affect your ladylike image and that Youbin won't love you anymore?”
"He dares? If he dares not to love me, I will, I will "
"Just what?" Youbin, who wanted to know the answer, asked hurriedly.
"I'll go and love Brother Zhiyu!"
" Cough, cough." Kim Jiwoo, who had just drunk his coffee, choked when he heard this.
"Are you kidding me? I'm your brother. Is that how you talk to your brother? How rude!"
"You know it's a joke, but you still have such a big reaction!”
"You damn girl, you actually tricked me. You deserve a beating!”
Huiyuan hurriedly hid behind Youbin.
Huiyuan, Youbin, and Zhiyu had been playmates since they were young. How could their relationship be described as 'iron'? Now that Youbin and Huiyuan were a happy couple, their relationship became even closer. However, Kim Ji-woo looked a little lonely and lonely. This was something that couldn't be helped. He had always been aloof and aloof, which made many girls shrink back from him, leading to today's situation of not being in love.
"It was you who took the initiative to ask me out today, but you came so late. I've been waiting here for half an hour. Tell me, what punishment do you want to receive?”
"It's all Huiyuan's fault. She's been dawdling for half a day. I've been waiting for her for nearly an hour.”Han Youbin said, feeling wronged.
"Don't you know? Being late was a girl's specialty. A girl must dress up before going out!”
"Women are so troublesome!"
"Women are so troublesome!"
After hearing Lee Huiyuan's words, Han Youbin and Kim Ji-woo said in unison. It was a good show of their tacit understanding that they had cultivated over the years.
"What trouble? Brother Zhiyu's girlfriend will be like this in the future, right, Youbin?”Huiyuan turned to Youbin with a murderous look on her face. Han Youbin, who had just been on the same side as Zhiyu, was now under her gaze. He hurriedly said yes, yes, yes.
Seeing this scene, Kim Ji-woo couldn't help but sigh,""Sigh! Love is so great that it can subdue my arrogant brother!”As he spoke, Kim Ji-woo placed one hand on Han Yubin's shoulder and patted him twice, showing a sympathetic look.
"What do you know? This is called 'love'. I was born for love and changed for love. It doesn't make sense for someone like you who isn't in a relationship.”
"That's right, that's right. Don't talk about love with this weirdo who doesn't understand love. When he meets the girl he loves, he'll know.”Han Yubin had just finished refuting Kim Ji-woo's words when Lee Hye-won spoke up.
"I won't change for anyone or anything.”After a moment of silence, Kim Ji-woo spoke with a solemn expression.
The three of them fell into a complicated relationship because of this. Lee Huiyuan lowered her head and drank her coffee. Han Yubin flipped through the magazine on the table in boredom. Kim Ji-woo still looked out the window with empty eyes, lost in his own world.
When Lee Hye-won mentioned that her girlfriend would also be late, Kim Ji-woo's first reaction was: She was a woman whom he had met online a year ago but had never met before. In her imagination, he should be a very fresh and refined woman. She didn't think that she would delay time because of dressing up. According to Kim Ji-woo's knowledge, she was a girl who didn't like to dress up. She paid attention to natural beauty and everything went with the flow. If Lee Hye Yuan was described as a little bird, then she could be described as fresh and refined on the Internet.
"Hey, Zhiyu, do you dare to make a bet with me?”
An attractive sentence pulled Kim Ji-woo back from his own world.
"What bet? What bet?" His words not only attracted Kim Ji-woo, but also Lee Hye-won, who was drinking coffee.
"I want to bet with Kim Ji-woo, but I wonder if he dares to bet?”
"What do you think? Do you think there's anything I don't dare to do?”
"Good, I knew you came quickly!”
"Cut the crap and tell me what you want to bet!”
"Today is a rainy day, which is one of the important conditions for completing this bet. The weather is good, and the geographical conditions are also good. It's just outside the street. What you have to do is to stand there without holding an umbrella for ten minutes. If someone holds an umbrella for you within ten minutes, you win. If no one holds an umbrella for you within ten minutes, I win. The loser will listen to the winner for ten days. How about that?”
"What a boring and childish joke! Even a three-year-old child doesn't know how to play this. Seriously, he doesn't have any standard!”Kim Ji-woo said impatiently after hearing Han Youbin's bet.
"I have an idea. Why don't we change the bet?”Li Huiyuan blinked her big eyes and said. "If a single beauty holds an umbrella for you within these ten minutes, you can let her be your girlfriend. If no one holds an umbrella for you during this period, then you lose.”
"Yours is even more ridiculous. What beauty? How do you know if she's single? Also, why didn't you and Youbin go out and stand there instead of me?”
"Who asked you to be alone without a girlfriend? If we don't bully you, who else can we bully?"
"Tell me, do you dare to bet?"
"I won't bet on such a childish bet. Let's change to something more interesting. For example, racing or tennis.”
"No, let's bet on this today!" Han Youbin said stubbornly.
Lee Hye-won saw that the two of them were arguing and said calmly," This is a new gambling method that I invented. Firstly, it's to prove whether you, Kim Ji-woo, have the luck and charm to have a stranger holding an umbrella for you in a crowd. Secondly, and most importantly, if there really is a girl holding an umbrella for you, you must strive to win her over.”
"Why?" "It's not wrong to say that you're stupid! Think about it. To be able to find you in such bad weather and in such a vast sea of people, it means that she is attentive. To be able to pay attention to and notice you means that she has a heart. To be able to walk over means that she has a heart. Where can you find such a good girl?”Heavens! He actually called Kim Ji-woo stupid! His IQ could reach 200! He was able to score full marks in every exam like a legend. However, there was also a saying that a person's IQ sympathy quotient was the opposite. In other words, the higher the IQ, the lower the EQ. From this, it could be inferred that Kim Ji-woo's lack of a girlfriend was not only related to his aesthetic standards, but also had a great relationship with his EQ.
"Tell me, did you guys plan this all along? Did you come here today to scheme against me?”Kim Ji-woo's face revealed a certain look of suspicion.
Han Yubin and Lee Hyewon looked at each other and smiled. Their four eyes narrowed at the same time as they looked at Kim Ji-woo. Kim Ji-woo's suspicion was correct.
"Yes, Huiyuan and I accidentally saw a story called 'Extraterrestrial Wealth' in a magazine the day before yesterday. It was about a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the street on a rainy day. If someone is willing to hold an umbrella for me and send me home, then he will obtain unexpected wealth. However, she stood on the street for a long time without anyone holding an umbrella for her. The passers-by thought that the little girl was a liar or that she was in a bad mood, so no one paid attention to her.”
"What happened after that?"
" Later on, someone, the author of the article, saw that the little girl was drenched and couldn't bear to see her in the rain again. He went up to the little girl and asked her about it. After that, he found out that the little girl had made a bet with her mother. She bet that there would be many good people in this world and that someone would definitely hold an umbrella for her and send her home. Before the little girl left, she thanked the person who made her win the bet and gave him an umbrella as a reward.”
"What? Where did she get so much money from? Could it be that she was the heir of a rich family and had so much money that she had nowhere to spend it?”Kim Ji-woo asked in a state of confusion.。
"No! The one million was written on the paper by the little girl with a crayon.”
After listening to Youbin's story from the beginning to the end, he was silent at first, then he laughed. It was an unexpected smile that came from the bottom of Zhiyu's heart. He said," This is really the most innovative story and gambling game I've ever heard. Therefore, today, I'm going to imitate that little girl and gamble my life's happiness."”
Huiyuan and Youbin looked at Kim Ji-woo in surprise, not knowing what to do.
"Later, I will walk out of here and stand in the rain on that street. If the person who comes forward to hold an umbrella for me is an uncle, an aunt, a grandfather, a grandmother, or a child, I will do my best to fulfill their wish and thank them for their love. However, if it is someone of the opposite sex who is the same age as me, as long as she is not married, I will definitely woo her and give her the love of my life. If he was of the same sex, I would be his brother.”Before the two of them could recover from their shock, Kim Ji-woo announced this shocking decision.
"Did you go overboard?"
Han Youbin, who did not believe that Kim Ji-woo would do this, asked incredulously.
"That's right, that's right. You're playing too big. This is related to your happiness for the rest of your life! How could he gamble so easily?”
"Didn't you want me to do this just now? Why did he not support it now?”
In the face of Kim Ji-woo's question, the two of them could not give the best answer.
"That was just then, and now it's now. Now we've changed our minds again, mainly because we feel that the risk is too great.”
"I will bear most of the risks. You don't have to worry.”
"What if you lose and no one holds an umbrella for you?”Han Youbin asked.
"If I lose, I'll buy you coffee from now on.”
" But." Kim Ji-woo stood up and walked out before Lee Hye-won could finish her sentence. He began his romantic and risky gamble with his own happiness. Meanwhile, Lee Huiyuan and Han Yubin could only pray silently in their hearts that even if Kim Ji-woo were to meet a lot of women, he would not meet any beautiful women. They would not want to hurt Kim Ji-woo with a messy relationship. After all, it was too unreliable to do so. However, what happened later proved that when they prayed, God might not be at home, or God might have forgotten about it in a moment of carelessness. In short, God did not fulfill Li Huiyuan and Han Youbin's wishes.
