Chapter 141
Subconsciously, Qiao Anhao tried to find an excuse to hide from Lu Jinnian to calm herself down . But when she turned towards the window, she stopped in her tracks and, unconsciously, exclaimed, “It’s raining!”
As she exclaimed, she stood up, walking to the window .
Lu Jinnian froze when he heard her, slowly turning towards the window . Indeed, big droplets were splattering onto the window, drenching it in rainwater . In front of the window, Qiao Anhao stood transfixed .
Lu Jinnian glanced over for a brief moment before averting his gaze . He finished off all the food that Qiao Anhao had bought and set his chopsticks down .
He wiped his mouth with a piece of tissue then tossed it into the bin nearby . Hesitating for a bit, he took large strides to the window where Qiao Anhao stood .
Lu Jinnian was much taller than her . Since it was late into the night, the window was like a mirror . He could clearly see that Qiao Anhao was transfixed, focusing all her attention on the rain outside . Her eyes were shinning and he couldn’t help asking, “You like rainy days too?”
Qiao Anhao was about to reach out her hand to caress the window, along with the droplets that streamed downwards . Only when she heard his question did she realize that unknowingly he had appeared beside her . Her fingers paused on the window for several seconds before she nodded her head lightly .
“Yes, I like them . “
Lu Jinnian remained silent, but right then, he had on a gentle and warm expression .
For some time, Qiao Anhao continued to randomly caress the window . She only realized afterwards that Lu Jinnian had asked if she liked rainy days too . She turned her head and looked at Lu Jinnian, throwing his question back at him, “You like rainy days too?”

“Yes, I like them too,” Lu Jinnian replied in an usually gentle tone, as though there was a deeper meaning to his words .
So they both liked rainy days . . . maybe that was what carrying a torch was like, when both of them had a something in common, it was as though they were much closer .
A sweet sensation spread through Qiao Anhao’s heart .
She liked rainy days because that was how they had first met, seeking shelter on a rainy day .
That day, she had fallen head over heels for him .
But what about him?
Just when Qiao Anhao was hesitating whether to ask him why he liked rainy days, the man beside her who rarely spoke said, “Initially, I didn’t really like them . “
He paused, seemingly in deep thought, then continued in a light tone, “Afterwards, because of an incident, I started liking rainy days . “

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping
This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.
