"It's raining!"
"That damn sky is finally raining!"
December 31, 2023, Sunday, 37°C. After an entire year of drought on Earth, a satisfyingly drenching rain finally poured down!
The day was as unremarkable as any other. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the weather forecast—which claimed to predict conditions fifteen days into the future—urgently announced on online platforms that severe downpours would occur everywhere the next day.
No sooner had this been announced than torrential downpours began across the country, as if perfectly synchronized.
Netizens from all over mocked the weather forecast: "This current weather is a handful, huh? Keeps professionally slapping our faces."
But Jing Shu understood it differently. In her view, the atmosphere simply couldn't hold the water vapor accumulated across the globe over the past year any longer and had burst prematurely, like an overfilled water balloon.
