Chapter 55: A Sentimental Ending "You still say you're not a crybaby?"...
After the seventh and eighth episodes of "When the Rain Comes" were aired, the discussion and popularity reached a peak.
The forum has even had thousands of floors discussing the plot.
[Title: Discussion Forum on the Latest Plot of "When the Grain Rain Comes"]
If you have any plot you want to discuss, feel free to share it. Just analyze it rationally and don't argue.
[1L: Damn it, I stepped into the pit of "Guyu" and was tortured to death without hesitation]
2L: There were so many foreshadowings in these two episodes that I got goosebumps! Especially when Guyu accidentally discovered a hundred yuan in that notebook, my heart was truly broken for him...
3L: The hundred yuan was a stroke of genius. When Lin Guyu was hesitant and felt hopeless, the hundred yuan was like a tiny ray of hope. It showed that Li Cong really cared about him. Li Cong could have given the money directly to Lin Guyu when he took it. Then, Lin Guyu might not have hugged him before leaving...
[4L: Cong Ye’s mother is also very kind. She even took out a brand new banknote. Oh, I shed tears.]
5L: Actually, it comes down to three words: "reluctant to let go." One is unwilling to push away the hurt, and the other is unwilling to get close.
6L: The depressing feeling in these two episodes really made me want to cry. The rapid passage of time indicates that the time for Lin Guyu's departure is getting closer and closer... Li Cong doesn't know any of this.
[7L: Yeah, similarly, our perspective is also biased towards Lin Guyu's side, so we don't know what happened to Li Congye's family. It's so serious that he has to drop out of school... It makes me feel a little suicidal.]
8L: It’s exactly like that line in the lyrics, “Fate is so humorous, it silences those who love it.” [crying]
9L: I have to say Xia Hui is such a great photographer. The oppressive feeling in the early stages is actually like gold trapped in amber. Amber is beautiful, but the luster of gold is hidden. It's just that the daily interactions between Guyu and Congye are so beautiful, even heartbreakingly beautiful. The oppressive feeling in the later stages is like the heavy rain outside the car window. Even through the glass, I felt like I was being thoroughly drenched...
[10L: What the above user said is so accurate. I recommend two editing videos from Bilibili. They are super well edited! [Link]]
[11L: There's been a lot of discussion about the ending on various platforms. I feel like it's basically confirmed once these two episodes air, even though I'm a little reluctant to accept it...]
[12L: No wow, is there really no other possibility? What is the last thing Xu Huawen wants to tell Lin Guyu?]
[13L: There are only two things. One is that Li Cong also reported Liu Neng and his group to her for bullying, and the other is that Li Cong is also going to drop out of school. Sigh]
[14L: Who knows? I feel like I have a rope around my neck right now. I might actually be hanging on the day of the finale.]
[15L: Wuwuwu, stop talking. Shengyan hasn't interacted with me in the past few days. I was so tormented by the drama that I wanted to eat some sweet stuff, but Shengyan and the other two were as quiet as chickens and seemed to have disappeared. I'm angry.]
16L: It's okay, everyone. "When the Rain Falls" has broken ratings again. They'll definitely be celebrating. There'll probably be a celebration party after the show ends! Don't forget, we have a variety show tomorrow night!
17L: Damn it... Guys, go check out the (presumably) Reuters footage of the finale posted by Xindongjie. I'm truly heartbroken...
[18L: Where is it? Give me a link please!]
19L: Here it comes! Xindongjie said in the comments section not to get too caught up in the plot, and she doesn't know the ending either! [Weibo link]
Feast Super Topic:
[Heartbeat Feast 0329×0818: No matter what, I will always love you.]
The fan page posted a total of six Reuters photos. The first two photos showed Zhu Shengting wearing a school uniform and walking on Chengli Thirteenth Street. No plot could be made out. The third photo showed Zhu Shengting wearing a woolen coat and black pants. His hairstyle had changed, and he was also walking on Chengli Thirteenth Street.
The next three photos all show He Yan carrying his luggage at the airport. In the first two photos, he is wearing loose short-sleeved shirt, and his bangs still cover his eyes, while in the last photo, he is wearing a windbreaker and a scarf, and his bangs are much neater.
After the fan club posted this Reuters post, everyone's expectations reached a peak.

During the intermission of filming, Xia Hui went to an open space to smoke a cigarette. In the smoke, she saw Zhu Shengting walking towards her.
"Director Xia." Zhu Shengting stood half a meter away from her, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.
Xia Hui shook the cigarette butt and said, "Xiao Zhu, you and Xiao He made the same choice, but it's within my expectations."
Zhu Shengting leaned against the wall, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you became Lin Guyu and Li Congye," Xia Hui smiled, and the mole at the corner of her mouth became clearer. "You know they love each other very much, don't you?"
"So even if I have to wait, I'm willing to do so, even if I don't know what the final outcome will be."
"Yes," Zhu Shengting also smiled, and his smile was easy. "In the end, I won the bet."
Xia Hui looked at Zhu Shengting for a long time, and finally sighed, "You haven't completely become Li Congye, because I know you are a rational person, but He Yan is an emotional person. When he became Lin Guyu, he was Lin Guyu wholeheartedly, even though it was difficult to separate himself."
"What does Director Xia want to say?" Zhu Shengting asked.
Xia Hui took another puff of her cigarette and smiled, "You were the one who came to see me, right? Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you want to say?"
Zhu Shengting lowered his head slightly, adopting a very humble attitude. "I have a suggestion. Director Xia, please let me know if you would like to adopt it."
Xia Hui became interested and said, "You go ahead."
Zhu Shengting leaned close to her and said a few words, then stepped back.
Xia Hui thought for a while and glanced at the person in front of her who looked calm and composed.
"Is it for our drama, or for your own selfish reasons?"
Zhu Shengting didn't feel guilty at all about Xia Hui's revelation.
"Both," he replied.
"You're honest, but this proposal is quite interesting. I will discuss it with Producer Zhang and others." Xia Hui put out the cigarette.
Zhu Shengting finished speaking and was about to leave when Xia Hui stopped him.
"Xiao Zhu."
Zhu Shengting turned around.
"I know you are willing to reveal your selfishness because you also have confidence in his selfishness, but don't forget that the person standing between you is not you." Xia Hui looked at Zhu Shengting deeply.
"And for you now, it's just like Li Congye and Lin Guyu in the play, do you understand?"
Zhu Shengting didn't smile like he did just now, but responded seriously: "I know, thank you Director Xia."

"Zhu Shengting."
The man who was drinking iced American coffee turned around and looked at He Yan in surprise as he was taking pictures of him with a CCD.
But his surprise only lasted for a moment, and he quickly chuckled and looked at the person behind the camera.
"What's wrong?" He put the iced American coffee on the table.
He Yan's gaze shifted from the camera to Zhu Shengting's face. "Let me interview you. How does it feel to be wrapping up soon?"
Zhu Shengting folded his arms, looked at him and replied, "I'm reluctant."
"What are you reluctant to give up? Tell me in detail." He Yan asked and shifted his gaze to the camera.
Zhu Shengting leaned closer to the camera and said, "I can't bear to leave this drama, this role, and everyone who filmed with me."
"Then what are you most reluctant to give up?" He Yan looked at him with a smile.
Zhu Shengting didn't answer directly, "Guess."
"I don't want to guess." He Yan rolled his eyes at him.
"He Yan, let me ask you, how do you feel?" Zhu Shengting took the camera and pointed it at He Yan.
He Yan was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you want to ask me?"
"Sure." Zhu Shengting looked at him intently.
He Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears began to accumulate in his eye sockets, like a puddle of water on the uneven road after a summer rainstorm.
Zhu Shengting put down the CCD that was still recording, raised his hand to wipe He Yan's tears, and sighed.
"You still say you're not a crybaby?"
"Hey..." He Yan's tears fell on the back of Zhu Shengting's hand.
"Teacher Zhu! Teacher He! The new scene has started—"
He Yan wiped away her tears and pulled Zhu Shengting's wrist, "Here we are! Let's go——"

"Scene 392, First Shot, Action!"
"Hello, Mingyue, um, I got off the plane." Lin Guyu pulled his luggage out of the airport hall and waited for the car.
"Okay, half an hour." He hung up the phone and wrapped his scarf tighter around him.
It was drizzling in Tongxiang today, and the wind was quite strong, causing a dull pain in his temples.
He exhaled a breath of hot air. He hadn't been back to this city for almost ten years.
The last time he left, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, pulling a suitcase and sweating all over, and went to a city he was completely unfamiliar with.
It can be said that in the past ten years he has visited many places, big and small, that he is not familiar with, and has never returned to Tongxiang.
When he came to his senses, he was already in the car to meet Song Mingyue.
When Lin Guyu saw Song Mingyue, he felt that she had not changed much, and was still as gentle and quiet as before, but Song Mingyue felt that Lin Guyu had changed a lot.
"Long time no see," Song Mingyue observed him. "Are you planning to stay in Tongxiang this time?"
"Well, I've already contacted a new law firm. You should still be teaching at No. 2 Middle School, right?" Lin Guyu heard from Song Mingyue that she had been admitted to a normal school through the college entrance examination, and after graduation she returned to Tongxiang No. 2 Middle School to teach Chinese.
"Yes, No. 2 Middle School has changed a lot, but there are also many things that have not changed. You are welcome to visit." Song Mingyue clinked glasses with him.
"Where are your parents?" Song Mingyue asked him.
Lin Guyu lowered his eyes and smiled, "They are staying abroad. They have nothing to do with me anymore."
Lin Guyu didn't elaborate, and Song Mingyue didn't ask any more questions.
In the adult world, it is impolite to ask too many questions.
"You...are you coming back?" Song Mingyue hesitated.
Lin Guyu looked out the window. The rain stopped and the sun appeared.
"Looking for someone."
Song Mingyue did not see any pain or bitterness on Lin Guyu's face. Instead, she felt a sweetness as warm as the sun outside the window.
"Do you know where he is? Actually, I haven't seen him in Tongxiang for a long time." Song Mingyue kindly reminded.
Lin Guyu took a sip of coffee and said, "I know. Thank you, Mingyue."
Song Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently, blessing him, "Guyu, welcome back."
Lin Guyu left with his luggage. The house had been sold by Louzhi Lin Boheng. He did not go back but bought a new house.
He packed his luggage briefly and sat on the sofa in his new home to rest.
In fact, he and Song Mingyue lied. He didn't know whether that person was still in Tongxiang, what that person looked like now, what job he did, or whether he was married and had children.
But none of this mattered to him. He opened his phone's address book and dialed a phone number.
Lin Guyu himself didn't realize that his hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.
"Hello."
The call was connected, and the familiar voice became a little strange and distorted through the screen.
"Hello." Lin Guyu's voice was very soft.
But the person on the other end of the line heard it.
"Li Congye, where are you now?" Lin Guyu's tears fell into his own palm.
The person on the other end paused and replied, "The airport."
"Which airport?" Lin Guyu took a deep breath.
Li Cong also answered truthfully, his tone a little anxious: "Tongxiang Airport, where are you now..."
"I'm in Tongxiang, idiot." Lin Guyu couldn't stop crying.
Li Cong also coaxed through the phone, "Lin Guyu, I'm coming back to see you now."
"Where are you going to the airport?" Lin Guyu asked him.
Li Cong also paused and said, "I'll go find you."
Lin Guyu chuckled, "Do you know where I am?"
Li Cong also smiled, "I understand now."
Ten years is too long. In the countless cycles of the four seasons, Lin Guyu can't remember all the details of that summer.
The bleeding wounds had long since healed, he had never ridden a tricycle that smelled of fish again, and he had never met someone who made his heart beat faster again.
Love becomes more and more fresh with the passage of time, and it is always just a matter between two lovers.
His life was engraved with the three words "Li Congye", an existence that could not be removed no matter what.
Li Cong also hung up the phone, holding the phone tightly and rushing to the address Lin Guyu mentioned. He pulled the luggage and walked like the wind, shaking off the raindrops on the umbrella.
The sun is truly shining at this moment.
