The moment she threw herself into my arms, I was stunned. I only felt a burst of fresh fragrance, like spring flowers in bloom.
But soon, she came to her senses and immediately left my arms.
She looked a little embarrassed, her fair face was a little flushed, and she was arranging her hair which was not messy naturally.
Instead, she looked out the car window to try to distract herself, and said at the same time: "Why does it thunder in the spring? Isn't it only in the summer?"
"Thunder also happens in spring, and after the wake of stings it will thunder."
She said "Oh" softly and then fell into silence.
I realized she was embarrassed, and the atmosphere would have been even weirder if neither of them spoke.
So I, I took the initiative and said, "Are you afraid of thunder?"
"Well, when I was little, my mother would hold me in her arms whenever there was thunder."
After saying that, she said to me in a low voice: "I was sorry just now! I didn't mean it."
"Don't apologize, it's just instinct, and I know a woman who is also afraid of thunder."
The woman I'm talking about is of course An Lan. She is also afraid of thunder, but not as afraid as she is.
At the same time, I thought about An Lan and wondered how she was doing now.
It should be almost dawn over there at this time!
After another brief silence, Su Yue asked me again: "Are we going to be trapped here tonight?"
I looked out the car window at the continual rain and said, "If your mobile phone has no signal, you will have to stay in the car all night."
Su Yue's face darkened, and she blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault for causing you trouble."
"It's okay, don't think so. It's just one night. I was trapped on an unknown island and it took ten days to be rescued."
"Why are you trapped on an unknown island?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I've been framed."
"I can't even imagine if I was trapped on an unknown island, could I survive ten days..."
She paused, then shook her head in self-denial and said, "Absolutely not, because I have no ability to survive."
I smiled and said: "Actually, no matter who is trapped in that kind of place, survival skills are indeed very important, but what is more important is will. Once the will is depressed, no one can survive."
"I understand when you say that. Relax your mind and face everything, right?"
I smiled and said, "You can understand it that way, so don't blame yourself. It'll be fine. Just sleep and we can go back tomorrow after the rain passes and the weather clears up."
"What if, I mean what if, the rain doesn't stop tomorrow?"
I was stunned for a moment, this is really hard to say!
The rain in spring is not like summer. It stops immediately. Sometimes it lasts for two or three days.
After being stunned for a moment, I replied: "Even if it doesn't stop raining tomorrow, let's go out along that cement road."
"Yeah." Su Yue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
I suddenly felt a little hungry. After all, we didn't even have lunch.
Su Yue heard the growl of my stomach, and she turned to me and said, "Are you hungry?"
"A bit, we haven't had lunch, it's already evening now, aren't you hungry?"
"I'm fine, I'm used to it."
As she said this, she suddenly thought of something and then opened the car door.
I quickly asked her: "Why are you going?"
"I remember there is some food in the trunk, I'll go take a look."
The rain was still quite heavy, so she walked to the trunk of the car in the rain, opened the trunk and looked for it.
After a while, she returned to the car with a bag of old Sichuan beef jerky and a bottle of red wine.
After only being down for a while, her hair was already wet and her clothes were covered with rainwater.
She handed the beef jerky to me and said, "That's all I have, and red wine."
I smiled, reached out and took it and said, "It's good. This is enough to satisfy my needs. I don't need the red wine."
With that said, I tore open the package of beef jerky, handed her a piece of beef jerky, and said, "Eat some. If you don't eat it, you'll feel hungry at night."
"It's okay, you can eat, I'm not hungry yet."
She was probably afraid that I wouldn't have enough to eat, so she said that.
I definitely won't be able to eat enough from such a small bag, but it's better than having nothing to eat.
I didn’t say any more and just started eating.
After eating half of it, I handed the remaining half bag to her and said, "Okay, I'm full, you can eat."
"Is that all you eat?"
"That's enough. It just fills your stomach. You can eat it."
She then took it and started eating.
At this moment, the sky outside the car window had completely darkened, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
To be honest, if you were here alone, you would be really scared.
It is surrounded by mountains and there is an abandoned village in front of it. Even in the daytime, this village is quite scary.
Suddenly, I remembered the nightmare I had in the afternoon.
Thinking about it now makes my back shiver, and considering where we are now, the fear is even stronger.
In order to prevent the atmosphere from being so weird, I had to find something to talk to Su Yue, because I also noticed something was wrong with her expression, which must have been caused by fear in her heart.
I immediately said: "You shouldn't have any experience of being trapped, right?"
She shook her head and replied: "No, this is the first time. My father protects me very well. I have never had this kind of experience before."
You can see that she is the kind of flower that grows up in a greenhouse. She looks very clean, like a piece of white paper.
"Actually, I have encountered our current situation many times. You don't have to be afraid. You just need to believe that there is nothing messy in this world."
She should know what the nonsense I was talking about was, so she nodded and fell silent again.
I don’t know what to say, so it’s better to go to sleep than to find something to talk about.
So I said to her again: "Go to sleep, we can go out as soon as we wake up."
She was very obedient, nodded immediately and climbed into the back seat.
I asked her again: "Is your hair dry?"
"Well, it's done."
"Okay, you go to sleep first and don't think about anything."
She was lying on the seat obediently again. I felt that besides being scared, she was also a little nervous, and her whole body was tense.
I didn't know if it was because of the cold, so I took off my coat.
Just as I was taking off my clothes, she suddenly sat up again, looked at me in a panic and said, "You...what are you doing?"
I know, she probably thought I wanted to molest her, no wonder she looked so nervous.
I smiled and said, "You look very cold, so I took off my coat and covered you with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a serious person."
She bit her lower lip, lowered her head in embarrassment, and her face suddenly turned red again.
She was so shy, almost like an inexperienced little girl.
When I handed her my coat, she asked me: "You gave me your coat, aren't you cold?"
"I'm okay. It's not too cold in the car. Go to sleep and don't be nervous. I see you are still nervous. Are you that afraid of me?"
She murmured: "I am indeed a little nervous. This is my first time spending the night in this way with a friend of the opposite sex."
