On August 8, it started raining at 27:19 in the evening.

At first the air was filled with the smell of dust, then gradually it became cooler, and the rain got heavier, from drizzle to heavy downpour, and finally stabilized to neither too heavy nor too light.

Most people are happy that it rains after a long drought. Mobile phone news and short videos are competing to report the rain, and many people even run into the rain to cheer.

Looking at the soaked people grinning and live streaming on their phones, Jiang Nian had already imagined what they would look like as zombies. He sighed and hung up his phone to eat his meal. The cooking skills of this five-star hotel were truly amazing!

Cheng Jing didn't say anything. According to Jiang Nian, people who got caught in the rain would have adverse reactions in the second half of the night and would go to the hospital. They would then die soon after. In the next few days, the hospital would be overcrowded and shrouded in the aura of death.

He had to calculate the time to get the most out of the products, especially medicines, sugar and salt, so that he could add more.

Jiang Nian had experienced the end of the world once, so he acted very calmly. He ate when he was supposed to, and slept when he was supposed to, and silently said to himself: God is merciful, and everyone has their own destiny. So take care of yourself and don't drag others down.

Cheng Jing observed him but said nothing and continued to believe his story that it was a sign of nightmare.

After dinner, Jiang Nian started to charge all the energy storage devices in the house. Although Cheng Jing could use electricity, it would consume physical and mental energy. If he charged it before the power went out, the more he could save, the better.

Cheng Jing had nothing to do and was getting familiar with his special abilities as quickly as possible.

After making a fuss during the day, Jiang Nian was very quiet at night, leaning obediently in Cheng Jing's arms:

"Go to bed early, Brother Jing. You'll get used to it soon."

Cheng Jing looked down at him:

"You seem to be used to it."

"..."

Jiang Nian rubbed his arms and half-truthfully said:

"I'm very carefree, and since you've awakened your powers, I'm not panicking at all."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Cheng Jing didn't ask any further questions, just smiled and closed his eyes.

People sleep better on rainy days than usual, so even though Cheng Jing was nervous, he woke up much later than usual.

When he got up, Jiang Nian was already in the living room eating instant noodles and video chatting with Huang Qian.

The two were discussing the news that a person who was caught in the rain last night died in the hospital within a few hours.

Seeing him get up, Jiang Nian stopped chatting and stood up to make him a bowl of braised beef flavor with a boiled egg.

This caused Huang Qian to be sarcastic in the video:

"I say you are quite virtuous, little Nianzi. You are completely controlled by him after wearing a ring..."

Jiang Nian smiled calmly:

"I only do this occasionally. Most of the time, it's Brother Jing who takes care of me."

Then he raised the ring on his left hand:

"Isn't it beautiful, Sister Qian? I like it~"

Huang Qian gritted her teeth in frustration:

"Show some ability! Show the same momentum that made you leave him hanging like a thread before! Hey..."

Jiang Nian glanced towards the bathroom with a guilty conscience and lowered his voice:

"Sister Qian, you can't talk nonsense. I didn't hang Brother Jing...it was just a small misunderstanding."

Breaking up unilaterally was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life!

Huang Qian curled her lips:

"Yes, yes, a small misunderstanding can make him act like a widowed and resentful husband."

"I really didn't..."

Jiang Nian wanted to make some reserved excuses, but when he saw Cheng Jing coming out, he changed the subject:

"The past is over, we will be fine from now on, I envy you so much!"

Then he turned around and smiled brightly at Cheng Jing:

"Right, brother Jing~"

"Ah."

Cheng Jing sat down next to him, and Jiang Nian enthusiastically handed him chopsticks and opened a box of soy milk for him.

Huang Qian watched from the other side and silently hung up the video.

After eating and drinking, Cheng Jing looked at the person who took the initiative to pick up the garbage and asked with a smile:

"Are you afraid that I will bring up the past?"

It looks like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Jiang Nian moved closer and took his hand:

"They've apologized..."

The tea aroma doesn’t matter, as long as it is useful.

Of course he was afraid. Even though the problem was resolved and reconciled that day, he was still worried because it was going too smoothly because of the old accounts.

"Well, I forgive you, so don't be afraid."

Cheng Jing touched his face as if to comfort a pet, knowing that he had come back on his own initiative. What could he do if he didn't forgive him? He was not the kind of person who liked to bring up the past, and what was done was done.

The group messages dinged and Cheng Jing put down his phone to check. It was other people in the group who tagged him, thanking him for reminding everyone not to go out yesterday.

His parents and family also sent him messages to let him know they were safe.

The rain outside was neither too heavy nor too light, but it was very heavy and steady, and it looked like it would continue to rain for several days.

Cheng Jing then reminded them to wear protective clothing if they really had to go out, and to pay attention to relevant news anytime and anywhere.

After that, I started to look through news from all over the place, and soon, some of the latest news popped up:

People who have been caught in the rain have been infected with an unknown virus and have died. More and more people who have been caught in the rain are going to various hospitals, which has begun to cause some panic.

The chaos is about to begin.

Jiang Nian also saw the heated discussions in the school and friend groups. Because his mother was ill, he was either working or preparing to work while in college, and he did not have a close relationship with his classmates.

After all, if you are invited to any event several times and you don't participate, others will not bother you anymore.

In addition, his sexual orientation was no secret, so some people approached him with the idea of ​​dating or offering help, but he rejected them all.

His first love was too amazing, and the ones he met later were boring. He is not the kind of person who would compromise in love.

Therefore, no one he is very familiar with contacts him through his phone, and those he is not familiar with only chat for a sentence or two and then it ends.

Throughout the whole day, Cheng Jing was paying attention to the developments outside through the news.

Apart from occasionally discussing some issues with him, Jiang Nian calmly did what he had to do:

They take turns fiddling with various stand-alone game consoles, or tinkering with some fitness equipment they bought online, including dumbbells and a small treadmill.

He was too calm and didn't seem to be panicked at all as if the nightmare had come true. It was as if he was used to it and had experienced it before.

Cheng Jing wanted to ask several times, but finally held back. Forget it, Jiang Nian will tell him when the time comes.

August 8th, the first day of staying at home to avoid the rain, was a relatively calm day.

Because they didn't go out, the ways and scope of expending physical energy were limited. They were young and energetic, so they focused their attention on the bed. The beautiful and rippling sounds continued until late at night.

Then, in the second half of the night, Jiang Nian developed a high fever.

Just like in his previous life, Jiang Nian was not afraid, but Cheng Jing was frightened, thinking he had gone too far.

It was not until Jiang Nian told him implicitly that this unexplained fever might be a sign of awakening superpowers that Cheng Jing felt relieved.

On August 8, the death toll increased and chaos began to appear in hospitals across the country.

Cheng Jing's company headquarters and official contact group sent notices to teams in various locations in case of any chaos.

But Cheng Jing had no time to take care of Jiang Nian, who had a high fever. If it wasn't an emergency, he would have taken everyone to the hospital long ago.

Jiang Nian was delirious due to fever, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and he occasionally uttered a few nonsense words.

Cheng Jing constantly gave him water and changed his clothes to cool him down physically, and comforted him when he was talking nonsense. He didn't dare to close his eyes at night. The usually calm man couldn't help but have wild thoughts:

What if the person who wakes up is burned and forgets about him?
