Chapter 2640 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 01
[Transferring plot memories...Transfer successful! ]
The villain in this world is called Xie Linzhou.
Xie Linzhou hates rainy days.
He is an architectural designer. The protagonist Xie Shao is Xie Linzhou's non-blood-related younger brother.
To be precise, Xie Shao was adopted by Xie Qiudong, who treated him much better than his biological son Xie Linzhou. Much.
Of course, the "a lot" in the secular sense is very different from here. It means almost, all, and the remaining bits and pieces are the hopes of Xie Linzhou when he was young.
Because Xie Linzhou was never the successor that Xie Qiudong wanted to cultivate.
As an architectural designer, Xie Qiudong owns the leading lead and wood firm in the country. However, his own son completely goes against his design concept and insists on finding another way. The outside world praises Xie Linzhou as a young genius and full of spirit, but Xie Qiudong says that he is weird and doesn't listen to anyone, so he adopts Xie Shao.
Xie Shao is growing up exactly as Xie Qiudong expected, but only he knows that he is not Xie Qiudong's bloodline and he has no talent for design.
When he was young, his obedient, design-by-design approach would earn him praise from Xie Qiudong. As an adult, each of Xie Shao's independent designs was influenced by someone else, specifically, Xie Linzhou.
Copying his brother's design was both bold and dangerous, but Xie Shao had never been reprimanded by Xie Qiudong, because he simply stole Xie Linzhou's inspiration and turned it into the conventional design that Xie Qiudong desired most. In turn, it became a capital for showing off to Xie Linzhou.
Xie Qiudong's fatherly love was mixed with resentment towards Xie Linzhou, and he poured all of it into Xie Shao, and never concealed it in front of Xie Linzhou.
When Xie Linzhou was young, he had an aunt, and when he was a teenager, he had a grandfather, but the two rains that spanned Xie Linzhou's life took away his two closest relatives who loved him.
He longed for love, but never got it. He was always washed away by the rain in a vague way.
But Nancheng is a rainy city.
When he was 23 years old, another rain caused a car accident and took Xie Qiudong away.
Xie Linzhou did not remember the turmoil of that day, he only remembered the rain and the gloomy and gray sky.
But no one expected that in the suicide note prepared five years ago, Xie Qiudong left the Lead Wood Office to Xie Linzhou and only gave Xie Shao his design team.
Xie Shao took the team away and joined a more famous architectural design company, while Xie Linzhou inherited a fairly generous inheritance, the connections left to him by Xie Qiudong, and the Lead and Wood Office, which was almost left as a shell.
The original story begins here.
From Xie Shao's perspective, when he was young, he was both envious and jealous of his brother Xie Linzhou's talent, but their relationship was not irreconcilable at that time.
But as time went on, Xie Linzhou's talent became too dazzling, while Xie Shao received Xie Qiudong's full training and support, and they became jealous and resentful of each other.
Xie Shao wanted to take back the Qianmu Office. If he couldn't, he wanted Xie Linzhou to get out. Get out of this industry, get out of this dazzling position.
At first, Xie Shao hooked up with the protagonist Shou Ren Xian.
Ren Xian is Xie Linzhou's good friend and is deeply trusted. After falling in love with Xie Shao, Ren Xian, after much hesitation, tells Xie Shao all the highlights of Xie Linzhou's award-winning design.
Xie Shao once again used his years of experience to his advantage, winning awards and projects, and also taking away the honor that should have gone to Xie Linzhou.
From then on, Xie Linzhou and Ren Xian broke off their friendship, propped up the crumbling Lead Wood Office, and prepared to lead the team to study abroad.
On the eve of going abroad, Xie Linzhou got into an accident in a business club and was rescued. Before he fell into coma, all that could be seen was his hazy back and a business card that he accidentally dropped.
The man's name is Jinchen, and he is the bartender of this club.
Xie Linzhou went abroad and added the friend using the contact information on his business card, intending to transfer money, but the connection was unintentional.
And then...it was out of control.
Xie Linzhou and Jinchen started a transnational online romance. Apart from the hurried back view under the dim light of the club that day, what Xie Linzhou looked at most was Jinchen in the video.
But he always seems to be unlucky because of rainy days, or because he always gives his trust and love without reservation.
After Xie Linzhou finished his further studies and returned to China, one rainy day, he saw Jinchen and Xie Shao enter the office together.
Xie Linzhou learned three truths: Jinchen was arranged by Xie Shao, the owner of the business club was Ren Xian, and he once again missed the international architecture award he had spent two years striving for.
After that, Xie Linzhou no longer pursued his design dream and went crazy targeting Xie Shao.
People in the industry don’t know that these two brothers are enemies and are incompatible with each other, and both want to bankrupt each other.
Even Xie Shao hadn't expected this. He felt a little regretful for dealing with Xie Linzhou in this way, and was overwhelmed by the situation.
But if revenge is too much, both sides will suffer.
Later, it rained again in Nancheng.
Xie Linzhou left and never returned to this city.

Before the morning light, Jinchen leaned against the headboard and turned on the bedside lamp.
He took his phone and looked at the time: October 19th.
In the original plot, there is only one month left before Xie Linzhou returns to China, to be exact, three weeks.
They had been dating online for nearly four months, almost half a year. During this time, Xie Linzhou had suggested that he take time off to return to China to meet him, but Jinchen had declined, citing the importance of further studies and work.
Jinchen leaned against the headboard, thinking, then lowered his eyes and clicked on Xie Linzhou's chat.
The last message was sent four hours ago. There is a six-hour time difference between them.
Xie Linzhou: I am going on a field trip today and it is raining again. After the end of summer, Varenna has entered the rainy season and it is also raining in Lake Como.
Jinchen changed the note and replied.
Jinchen: Are you still outside?
The message came back faster than expected.
Zhou Zhou: Yes, it is estimated to take another three hours, which is very long.
Jinchen scrolled up to look at the previous chat history.
Previous responses were mostly brief, with the occasional slightly ambiguous words, which now seem perfunctory.
Xie Linzhou was much more proactive. He would share his daily life, care about his daily life, and send him gifts.
Jinchen pursed his lips. It turned out that people could not empathize with their past selves.
Oh, not really.
But Xie Linzhou is too sensitive, and any rapid change would arouse his suspicion.
Jinchen: Okay, be careful at the scene, and let’s video chat when we get home?
Zhou Zhou: Didn’t you say the bar has been very busy recently?
Jinchen: If my boyfriend is unhappy, he won’t be busy.
Varenna, in a makeshift lounge on the shores of Lake Como.
Xie Linzhou looked at this sentence that popped up on the screen, his fingertips slightly stunned.
There was a sound of rain outside the window, and the rain was winding along the window, leaving twisted water marks. Outside the window was a slightly rugged construction site, all gray and hazy.
He rubbed his earlobe uncomfortably, unable to hide his confusion.
Her boyfriend was very proactive today, unlike before when he always seemed restrained, which made Xie Linzhou a little happy.
He clasped his fingers together precariously and typed again, looking a little reserved.
Zhou Zhou: Okay.
Just as he finished replying, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and Ning Xuming from his team was standing at the door with a cup of hot drink.
"I just came back from measuring the distance in the basement. I heard you were resting here. When I came out, I found it was raining."
Ning Xuming handed over the hot drink and said, "You don't look well. Do you want to end it early? Fang Ming and I can handle the remaining data."
Xie Linzhou took the warm cup, the warmth passing through the paper cup to his palm, and shook his head: "No, I'll feel much better after a rest, let's work first."
After all these years, he couldn't really stop everything just because it rained.
"That's fine," Ning Xuming nodded, his tone relaxed. "Once we finish this project, we can return home. I heard the weather in South City has been pretty good lately."
Xie Linzhou curled the corners of his lips and said nothing.
