Wen Yanqing saw the suspicion in her eyes and lowered his dark gaze. “When I was young, my mum worked late in order to be able to raise me. I was alone in the dark house.

“Just because I dare to bungee jump doesn’t mean I don’t fear anything.” Wen Yanqing pursed his lips. “I’m different from you. Tangtang, if you say that you’re afraid, Uncle and Auntie will protect you. I can’t say it; my mum will be worried. If she’s worried, she won’t be able to work in peace.”

Wen Yanqing sounded disappointed. “I didn’t have a father when I was young. I didn’t have anyone to lean on. A child with a sense of security would naturally not be afraid of anything.”

Lin Gantang had never heard him talk about this before. She stopped editing and turned to look at him.

Wen Yanqing pulled up the blanket and partially covered himself. “The lightning and thunder were like demons and ghosts. At that time, I was young so my imagination ran wild. Later on, it became a psychological shadow. There’s no need to tell others when I grew up. But when you say you don’t believe me, I feel a little uncomfortable.”

“Really?” Lin Gantang inched closer to him. He wasn’t making things up?

“Really. There’s no need to lie to you, right?” Wen Yanqing looked at her sincerely.

“Then what should we do? Will you feel better now that I’m here?” Lin Gantang asked.

“Come closer and give me a hug. I feel much better after a hug.” Wen Yanqing looked at her expectantly.

Lin Gantang hesitated and wanted to turn off the computer. “What did you do when you were alone? Who did you hug?” she asked.

“I hugged myself,” Wen Yanqing said.

Lin Gantang thought, “Paired with your pitiful look, it’s heartbreaking.”

Suddenly, a huge thunderbolt struck the ground, frightening Lin Gantang, who was focused on saving the document. Lin Gantang’s back was facing Wen Yanqing’s face, so she couldn’t see his expression. However, she, who was not afraid of lightning, was shocked. What more him?

So she turned off the computer and climbed into bed. She pulled the blanket away and hid under it. “You’re right. This is really scary.”

“Right? It’s like it’s exploding in my ears.” Wen Yanqing got what he wanted and hugged her. “Go to sleep. You can continue tomorrow?”

“I’m going to the bookstore tomorrow. Xiaoxi said that Sweet Wine didn’t eat much today. I’ll take it to have a look. The Ragdoll cat is so delicate. I’m afraid it’ll get sick,” Lin Gantang mumbled as she nestled in his arms.

“Okay, I’ll come over to look for you during lunch break.” Wen Yanqing kissed her hair and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder. “Remove this outerwear? Sleep with the blanket.”

Lin Gantang touched his body. It was really warm, and his hands and feet were not cold. He was radiating heat like a small stove. Lin Gantang was a little envious. She moved closer to him and didn’t want to take off her clothes. “It’s only spring. It’s not hot wearing it.”

“But it’s not cold either.” Wen Yanqing gestured for her to look at the corner of her clothes that he had pressed down on. “Look, the more you wear, the more it affects your quality of sleep. You won’t be able to flip over later.”

Lin Gantang took a look. Alright, she could take it off.

She couldn’t be bothered to get up. She moved a few times under the blanket and threw out her pajamas.

“Let’s sleep. I’ll go over early tomorrow to see Sweet Wine,” Lin Gantang said.

Wen Yanqing held her from the side and caressed the smooth skin on her back. The soft silk pajamas seemed to be nothing in his palm, and every part of it was extremely delicate to the touch.

He stroked her hair and her back gently and slowly, like the comfort of the closest person to her when she was young. Lin Gantang relaxed and fell asleep.

Until he reached out to her chest and leaned over to kiss her.

Lin Gantang gradually woke up. It was the middle of the night, and the two of them were alone. When she regained her consciousness, she vaguely guessed his intentions and her heartbeat quickened..
