"When there's no work, you can take time to read a book." Yuwei pulled out a novel she liked.

"Reading on a rainy day feels so peaceful. I love the crisp, clean smell of rain—it reminds me of the nostalgic scent from freshly painted white walls."
"Same here. I enjoy quietly immersing myself in something."
Yuwei took Zijing's hand and led her to the window.
Outside, a woman holding an umbrella walked her dog across the road.
