Rainfall: 100% Guaranteed

Qin Can was a sunny character, not only handsome and charming, but also well-liked by everyone in the lab. Everyone, that is, except for Xie Yijin. Qin Can: “Senior, here’s the research direction I’ve been working on. You…” Xie Yijin: “Sorry, I don’t do collaborations.” Qin Can: “It’s my birthday next week. Would you…?” Xie Yijin: “Sorry, I’m busy.” Xie Yijin’s academic brilliance was undeniable, but he was aloof. Cold, distant, and always on his own. That was, until one stormy night. Qin Can entered the lab when he suddenly collided with a barely conscious Xie Yijin, whose face was reddened and whose steps seemed unsteady. Everything went into a whirlwind. As they stumbled, Xie Yijin’s hand brushed against Qin Can’s chest. He mumbled, “So cushy.” Qin Can: “What?” But before he could react, Xie Yijin’s hand slid down, now touching Qin Can’s abs, muttering to himself, “As expected… it’s so nice to touch.” Qin Can’s face burned, his words caught in his throat. “S-senior?!” In a moment of complete confusion, Xie Yijin then pressed his face into Qin Can’s chest, his breath shaky. “Don’t move.” And there, in the stillness of the lab, Xie Yijin ended up in his arms for the rest of the night. When the storm finally cleared, the two sat in silence, the weight of the night lingering between them. Xie Yijin’s gaze locked on Qin Can’s toned arm. “I’ll agree to collaborate on your project,” he said casually, “but from now on, we have conditions. When there’s a light rain, you’ll hold my hand. When it’s moderate, you’ll hug me. And then during a heavy rain, you sleep with me. Deal?” Qin Can: “….?” a well-built, younger mixed-blood “puppy” gong x a composed, naturally beautiful, and blunt shou Qin Can x Xie Yijin The shou suffers from a rare weather sensitivity disorder—whenever it rains, he grows faint and sickly, and the only way he’ll feel better is to cuddle up with something soft and warm. And for some unknown reason, he’s particularly drawn to the gong’s body (literally).

## My Thoughts on Rainfall: 100% Guaranteed "Rainfall: 100% Guaranteed" was such a delightful read that completely lived up to its name. From the get-go, I was hooked by the promise of a charismatic protagonist and a sweet, funny romance. And let me tell you, it delivered! ### First Impressions I was immediately drawn in by the dynamic between Qin Can and Xie Yijin. The senpai-kouhai relationship, coupled with the "older love interests" tag, created a dynamic that felt both familiar and fresh. It's a modern-day setting that feels believable, making it easy to get invested in their story. ### What Works Well The core of this novel's appeal lies in its characters and their interactions. Xie Yijin is a force of nature – bold, shamelessly direct, and utterly charming. I loved how he pursued Qin Can with unwavering confidence. Qin Can, on the other hand, is the perfect foil, a blushing mess who can't help but be drawn to Xie Yijin's magnetic personality. Their communication is a highlight; they actually talk through their issues, which is so refreshing to see in a romance. The humor is another strong point. The novel strikes a great balance between lightheartedness and maturity. The plot kept me engaged, and the side characters added extra fun to the story. They weren't just there as background noise; they contributed to the overall experience, making the world feel more alive. ### Areas of Concern While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I do wish there had been a bit more exploration of Xie Yijin's condition. It felt like a fascinating aspect that could have been delved into more deeply. However, it didn't detract significantly from my overall enjoyment. ### Final Verdict "Rainfall: 100% Guaranteed" is a sweet, funny, and heartwarming yaoi novel that I highly recommend. If you're looking for a story with a charismatic protagonist, a healthy dose of romance, and characters you can't help but root for, this is definitely worth a read. I'm already looking forward to revisiting this world and these characters again soon.
