Waves of cold wind carried raindrops and blew in from between the broken glass. The sound of the wind became louder and louder, and the white light of lightning came more and more frequently.
"Come into the house." Chu Wuzheng said.
Shen Shiyu ignored him and just ate the rest of the food.
Childish……
Chu Wuzheng smiled.
Raindrops were still pounding against the surrounding windows, and the occasional muffled thunder was not noticeable.
But thunder is also noisy, much duller, and there will always be a big one - an unprecedented bolt of lightning comes, and in an instant, almost the entire house is flashed by this light.
Shen Shiyu was too afraid of this scene.
When a flash of light passed before her eyes, she reflexively wanted to put her hands on her ears, but the two hands doing their own duties prevented her from moving.
Instantly, she was so scared that her palms were sweating and her heart was shaking violently.
Da Lian and Xiang Hang in the room sighed silently. With so many lights on, they were still blinded. It seemed like this was not a big deal.
Sure enough, there was an explosion-like roar that shook people's hearts.
…
When Shen Shiyu opened his eyes, he felt that his ears were tightly covered.
The broad palms pressed tightly on both sides of her head, weakening most of the sounds and blocking the thrilling feeling that she thought she could not escape.
The crisp knocking sound continued in the house, and the howling of the wind came through the window. In addition, Shen Shiyu could also hear a sound, the sound of her heartbeat.
She turned around, and Chu Wuzheng's tall body stood in front of her. The hands that had just given her a real touch were now hanging relaxedly on her sides.
"Why are you……"
She blurted out the words, but halfway through the question, she didn't know what to say.
Chu Wuzheng smiled indifferently. "I'm used to it."
Shen Shiyu looked at him, and the memories that couldn't help but pop up made her feel stuck in her throat.
She was afraid of thunder and all explosive sounds, and she had been afraid for many years - just because of the gunshot that still lingered in her ears when she dreamed back at midnight, a scene she would never forget.
A gunshot rang out, and she stood at the street corner, staring at the bloody holes on Chu Wuzheng's body.
The more she looked at it for a second, the more painful it became, but she didn't know how to move her eyes away.
The bright red color spreading like a smear on his uniform was like the ever-opening fangs of a piranha. This image was so deeply imprinted in her heart that Shen Shiyu recalled that scene again and again for countless days and nights. There is still a feeling of being chewed up and devoured bit by bit.
"Are you okay?" Chu Wuzheng approached and could only lower his head to look at her.
She liked to look up to him like this.
Looking at his erect silhouette, watching the covered light above his head emitting around him, surrounding him with a warm and unruly aura, that was the beauty that only belonged to her.
Every time before, when he lowered his head like this, whether she was sad or angry, she would definitely throw herself into his arms and make a fuss.
Then, everything will be fine.
But now she can't do anything.
Even though her emotions have been clamoring to defeat her reason countless times, and even though her heart aches now, she still can't do anything.
It's just that she can't pretend anymore.
Shen Shiyu threw the lunch box of his cell phone into the trash can and ran a few steps back to Lan Youyin's room.
The moment she turned around and closed the door, she pinched the tears she had held back and flowed out of her eyes.
She lowered her head, and Lan Youyin walked over and was shocked to see the big tears falling on the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" He held her shoulders and turned her around. "Did he bully you?"
Shen Shiyu shook his head and cried more and more fiercely.
"So, you were frightened by the thunder?"
Shen Shiyu nodded.
Lan Youyin knew that she was afraid of thunder, but he didn't ask much about the reason.
But he knew that she was really scared - when the two first met, he had seen Shen Shiyu sweating on his forehead and trembling all over the moment he was frightened by the sound.
He thought she had gotten much better in the past few years, but he didn't expect to be hit by a thunderstorm, which made him cry.
"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." Lan Youyin held her in his arms and stroked her back. "You said you didn't know how to cover your ears or something... Be good, be good!"
Shen Shiyu leaned on his shoulder with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.
The ajar door next to him was pushed open. Chu Wuzheng's face was as gloomy as the sky before the rain. He stopped at the door for who knows how long.
Lan You paused because of his sliding hand.
Seeing Shen Shiyu raise his red and swollen eyes with choked sobs, Chu Wuzheng's inner anger was mostly relieved.
Ke Ke glanced down and caught a glimpse of her hand on Lan Youyin's shoulder.
He didn't know what to feel in his heart.
"What's going on? What kind of incident is this?" He said as calmly as possible.
After the outburst just now, Shen Shiyu gradually calmed down a lot. She wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand and let out a deep breath.
"I didn't scare you, did I?" Chu Wuzheng frowned inadvertently. "What do you mean by coming here to cuddle with him? Are you deliberately disgusting me?"
What he said made Shen Shiyu feel harsh, and she managed to steady her breathing.
"Please get out."
Chu Wuzheng remained motionless, with a confused look on his face.
This appearance disturbed Shen Shiyu. She really didn't want to be in the same room with him anymore. If he didn't leave, she would have to leave.
"Where are you going?" Chu Wuzheng followed her out of the room, watched her take out clothes from the office and put them on, and asked.
"Go home." Shen Shiyu lowered his head and buttoned his buttons.
"It's raining here."
The sound of the glass window being hit was not much smaller, and the heavy rain outside was indeed still pouring at this time.
Shen Shiyu carefully rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and finally took out a worn-out raincoat from the bottom of a certain place - it was really too worn, and when he took it out, he pulled it off with just a little force. Hole.
But Shen Shiyu still put it on his body and walked out without hesitation.
Seeing that she was really about to go out through the gate, Chu Wuzheng became anxious.
"Come back!" He took two steps and stood in front of her. "What kind of rags are you talking about? It's useless!"
Shen Shiyu raised his head. "Please get out of the way."
"No please, please don't move."
Shen Shiyu felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He had no choice but to go around her if he didn't move. But as soon as she moved, that generous body blocked her way again.
His rogue energy really made Shen Shiyu anxious. She raised her leg and gave him a sharp kick on the knee. The kick was so hard and accurate that Chu Wuzheng couldn't help but groan.
Big Face and Xiang Hang behind him, as well as Lan Youyin, were all dumbfounded.
"you come back!"
Seeing that she had walked into the rain, Chu Wuzheng didn't have time to check the pain, so he raised his legs and chased after her.
On the ground at the entrance of the clinic, the water accumulated under the feet had already reached the heels of the shoes, and it would splash when they stepped on it. The two of them tore at it a few times, and their trousers were completely soaked.
"Let me go!"
Shen Shiyu tried his best to get away from him, but Chu Wuzheng's hand became tighter and tighter as if wrapped around his fingers. "Can you please stop making trouble? Where are you going in such a heavy rain?"
There were no such crowds anymore. The three people who had come over stopped at the same time and stood in a row under the eaves at the entrance to watch the show. They only had buckets of popcorn in their hands, and their eyes were as focused as those in the World Cup stadium.
"Isn't it okay that I was wrong? Come in with me!" Chu Wuzheng said soft words while tugging her.
It was useless. Shen Shiyu was determined to leave.
Another bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and Chu Wuzheng hugged Shen Shiyu with his arms.
Leaning against his thick chest, she truly felt him warming her. The moment she longed for so much was so real now.
She was already vulnerable, and now she is even more shaky.
