Chapter 442: Entire Internet Looking for a Model in the Rain
The sunlight outside the window slowly swam. In the blink of an eye, it was already five o’clock the next day. It was almost night time.
Even though Jun Shiling had not slept the entire night, he was still very energetic. He got up, washed up, ate some food, and when he came back to take a look, Xia Wanyuan’s eyes were still closed.
The air in the house was a little stuffy. Jun Shiling opened the window and the wind outside blew across the pond, bringing some moisture in.
The faint fragrance of the lotus flowers wafted to her nose. Xia Wanyuan finally opened her eyes.
She wanted to get up as usual, but the slightest movement caused her entire body to ache as if it had been torn apart and reassembled. Xia Wanyuan gasped.
Hearing movement, Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over. “What’s wrong?”
Jun Shiling reached out to help her. Xia Wanyuan glanced at him warily and shrank back. “Don’t come over.”
Jun Shiling’s hand paused in midair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I promise I won’t do anything.”
“I don’t believe you. That’s what you said last night.” Didn’t you say it was the last time, and the last time again, last night? In the end, it didn’t stop until morning. (italics)
Hearing Xia Wanyuan mention last night, Jun Shiling recalled the feeling of having his bones corroded again. His eyes immediately darkened. However, seeing Xia Wanyuan frown, Jun Shiling suppressed the impulse in his heart and stepped forward to grab Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
“I promise I won’t do anything. Let me see how you’re doing.” Jun Shiling lifted Xia Wanyuan’s clothes. A large red mark and bruise entered his eyes.
“How could this be?” Heartache surged in Jun Shiling’s eyes, and he felt extremely guilty.
“Hmph.” Xia Wanyuan snorted. “How dare you say that?”
“I’m sorry, I’ll apply some medicine for you.” Jun Shiling carried her out heartbrokenly, took the ointment by the side, and carefully applied the medicine for her.
Xia Wanyuan was originally angry because Jun Shiling would not let her go no matter how much she begged him last night.
However, under Jun Shiling’s extremely cherished actions, Xia Wanyuan’s anger gradually subsided.
“I’m hungry.” Xia Wanyuan’s stomach hurt.
“I’ll get someone to send it in.”
Soon, the servant brought in plates of food. Xia Wanyuan sat on his lap. With so many people coming in, Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and shrank into Jun Shiling’s arms in embarrassment.
Jun Shiling was pleased by this cat’s coquettish actions. His heart melted as he reached for the bowl and chopsticks and fed Xia Wanyuan bit by bit.
After the meal, Xia Wanyuan lazily did not want to move. She directly used Jun Shiling as a chair, a chair that could move around.
“I want to go out and see the lotus flowers.” Xia Wanyuan pointed outside.
“Okay.” Jun Shiling carried her into the pavilion and stopped working. He sat specially with Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan was very tired and chatted in a non-sequential manner with Jun Shiling. Jun Shiling was not angry and accompanied her patiently.
The setting sun shone a warm yellow light on the two people sitting together in the pavilion. The lake was sparkling and the lotus flowers were leisurely emitting a dark fragrance.

Suhang Ancient Town had always been the place where every photographer loved. Among the people who filmed Xia Wanyuan walking in the rain that day, there was a photographer from “China Geography”.
“China Geography” was the most popular geographic human language magazine in China. This geographic magazine was opened by the Chinese relevant department. The photos taken usually were of high quality, so there were many fans.
Recently, the country was working on an international publicity film for “Beautiful China”. “China Geography” often released some photos for selection to seek the opinions of the netizens.
That day, the Chinese Geographic Journal published a set of photos called “Jiangnan in the Rain”.
In the photo, there were green tiles, white walls, and a drizzle. On the long limestone road, a woman in green was holding a bamboo umbrella. Under the umbrella, a fair chin was revealed. Her hair was tied up, revealing a jade-like goose neck.
Her appearance could not be seen clearly in the haze, but the elegant aura that enshrouded her made one enter the ancient town from a thousand years ago.
It also reminded one of the “lilac-like girl” that the romantic Dai Wangshu had caught a glimpse of in the rainy alley a century ago.
More and more netizens reposted it. This photo was immediately trending. Countless people asked under the comments who this model was.
However, “China Geography”, who was asked, did not know. Because the photographer had casually taken a photo by the roadside, the photographer did not see this person’s face.
The Chinese people were familiar with that “Rain Alley”. The girl who had raindrops and fragrance like a lilac had appeared in the book countless times.
And now, this picture seemed to let people see the lilac-like girl walk out of the book into the drizzle.
The entire Internet began to search for “Lilac Lady”.
