The next day, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan both overslept.

Bi Qiaoan opened her eyes and found herself trapped in an embrace. Recalling everything that happened before she fell asleep, she felt a touch of sweetness.

Bi Qiaoan gently traced the man's eyebrows and eyes with her fingers, over and over again, until her wrist was gently grasped by a large hand.

"Good morning, darling!" Shen Yanming leaned down and gave Bi Qiaoan a good morning kiss on the forehead.

"Good morning, darling!" Bi Qiaoan imitated Shen Yanming and kissed him on the left cheek.

Then Bi Qiaoan laughed, buried herself in the blanket, and felt so shy.

Shen Yanming was in a good mood. Although last night was just kissing and hugging, he could finally sleep with his wife in his arms. His wife finally treated him like a man.

Shen Yanming carried Bi Qiaoan to wash up, carried her to eat breakfast, and gave her loving kisses every now and then.

Ugh, so disgusting!

After changing their clothes and getting ready to leave, they realized they were going to be late. Not daring to dawdle any longer, they quickly went out to get their car.

The rain was still falling, which somewhat obstructed the view. Shen Yanming drove very slowly, and by the time he dropped Bi Qiaoan off at the Human Resources Bureau, it was already 9:30.

Bi Qiaoan rushed upstairs, and as soon as she entered the office, she was stunned. "Hey, what's going on today? Why are so many people missing?"

Wei Qin, scrolling through her phone without looking up, said, "It's been raining non-stop, so they've all taken the day off."

Li Yueya also pouted, "Since it started raining, no one has come to do any business here. It's boring for everyone to stay here every day."

“Then let’s just play on our phones and browse the internet,” Bi Qiaoan laughed. “However, if it keeps raining, we can arrange a shift and take turns coming over to be on duty, so that so many people don’t have to come back every day, which is both unsafe and a waste of resources.”

After saying that, Bi Qiaoan felt it was a bit inappropriate, so she added, "But who knows if it will rain tomorrow?"

"Have you noticed that this rain is a bit unusual?" a boy in the office said.

Yu Shui scratched his head and continued, "I've been watching the weather forecast lately. It's been raining in 80% of Qinghua Country, and once it starts raining, it never stops."

The others in the office were also drawn to Yu Shui's remarks and asked, "Really? I only pay attention to the weather forecasts for our city, Hai City, and I haven't really looked at the weather forecasts for other cities."

“I did check Weibo. Many netizens said it was raining where they were and were worried about being affected by the disaster.”

"This seems a bit abnormal!"

A sense of panic filled the office, but Yu Shui hadn't finished speaking, "I've also been paying attention to things abroad..."

Seeing Yu Shui's solemn expression, everyone had a bad feeling.

"Abroad, many countries are experiencing the same situation as Qinghua, and it's happening in more and more countries..."

*Thud!* Li Yueya's water glass fell to the ground, startled.

"No, no, it's not the end of the world, is it?" Li Yueya's voice trembled, and her eyes reddened.

Silence fell over the office; everyone was gripped by panic.

Seeing that everyone looked pale, Wei Qin said, "You young people always overthink things. Maybe it's just a special weather phenomenon. Who has ever seen rain in the apocalypse?"

The novels you young people read all say there will be zombies in the apocalypse, but look how peaceful our society is, there are no zombies at all!

Don't think about it anymore, okay? Don't scare yourself into something dangerous.

In reality, Wei Qin was not as calm as she appeared; she panicked because the weather was clearly abnormal.

Wei Qin decided to go to the supermarket to buy some food to stock up after get off work today.

The others, comforted by Wei Qin, looked much better. People, after all, prefer to hear news that everything is "as usual."

In the Qinghe Alliance office in the capital, Grand Alliance Officer Li Cheng looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression.

"What did the meteorological department say?"

"After investigation, the meteorological department found nothing; this rainfall is the same as usual!"

"The same? You think the same too? Usually, it rains all over the country for half a month straight? And now it's raining all over the world?"

"......"

"What about the intelligence agencies? Have they received any news from abroad?"

"People abroad are just as confused as we are, and have no idea why it's raining all over the world."

General Li sighed deeply, "Then tell me, what is your view on this global rainfall phenomenon?"

The people in the office were all like quails, heads down and silent.

Li Zongmeng, the official, slammed the materials in his hand to the ground. "Nobody has any ideas? If not, then go investigate! If the national departments can't solve it, then consult the public. Go investigate what abnormalities have occurred in the country over the past six months, including the climate, people, and things!"

"yes!"

"The notice should be issued to all parts of the country to prepare for flood prevention, and to ensure the immediate evacuation of flooded residents. Close attention should be paid to the situation in mountainous areas, and residents must be evacuated before flash floods, mudslides, and reservoir discharges occur to guarantee the safety of the people... Closely monitor online public opinion, actively guide netizens in flood prevention and control, and pay attention to calming public panic..."

"clear!"

After everyone left, General Li sat in his office, exuding an air of dejection. He had a bad feeling, as if the end of the world was about to happen.

After getting off work, Wei Qin really did go shopping at the supermarket.

There weren't many people in the supermarket; I guess people don't really want to go out on rainy days.

Wei Qin wanted to buy large bags of rice and flour, but as a woman, she couldn't carry them all by herself.

After browsing the grain and oil section for a while, Weiqin decided to buy more vacuum-packed rice.

After tossing over a dozen bags of rice into her shopping cart, Wei Qin thought for a moment and then bought five bags of brown sugar, five bags of white sugar, and ten bags of salt.

There weren't many items in the shopping cart, but Weiqin figured she wouldn't be able to carry any more, so she paid and wobbled home with a large plastic bag in her hand.

When they got home, Wei Qin's husband, An Dongyang, complained to her, "Why did you buy so much rice again? We just bought a big bag and haven't even eaten much of it yet. Besides, sugar and salt take a long time to consume. If you buy so much, it might expire before we can finish it."

An Dongyang rambled on for a while, but Wei Qin wasn't angry. They had lived together for over twenty years, and she knew her man had no bad intentions; he was just meticulous about life.

So Weiqin talked to her husband about the news she heard in the office that day, and said that she was feeling uneasy.

An Dongyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He muttered, "You're so old, how can you believe such rumors?" But he was actually searching for related information on his phone to verify its authenticity.

A dozen minutes later, An Dongyang hung up his phone. "Wife, what should we do? I'm panicking too!"

Wei Qin forced herself to remain calm. "Let's stock up on some food first. Let's buy these vacuum-packed ones, they'll last longer."

An Dongyang nodded. "I'll go buy it right away."
