The occasional thunderclap and the sound of the falling rain interwove to create a soft song.
Actually, Mu Xiaoxiao liked the sound of the rain as it made her feel really calm.
However, right now she wasn’t calm at all!
There was some resentment in her eyes as she gazed at the firmly shut door.
She had thought that she hadn’t wanted Yin Shaojie shamelessly barging into the room to beg to sleep there while she was showering.
However, even though he really didn’t do it, she felt a little strange.
Wasn’t he acting out of the ordinary?
With his usual bullying and shameless personality, how could he have given up such a golden opportunity?
She had taken at least ten minutes to shower — he could have totally used that time to slip back into the room!
However, he hadn’t…
This was so frustrating!
Mu Xiaoxiao turned off the light as usual and pulled up the covers in preparation for sleep.
However, sleep eluded her.
She tossed and turned in bed countless times before sitting up suddenly. Grabbing her phone by the nightstand, she saw that it was now past midnight.
The rain continued to pour outside with intermittent flashes of lightning across the dark sky.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, her gaze returning to the door once more.
Yin Shaojie… Would he sleep well on the sofa?
She remembered how he had looked this morning.
He hadn’t slept well the night before. If he didn’t get a good rest tonight, wouldn’t that be like rubbing salt on a wound?
Mu Xiaoxiao felt even more guilty as she worried about him uncontrollably.
She had experienced a bad night’s rest before. It had felt terrible, and she had been in bad spirits the entire day.
Tomorrow was Monday, a school day.
She was really worried over how bad he would feel all day the next day.
Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her face and told herself, “Mu Xiaoxiao, Mu Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong with you? You were able to harden your heart against him previously. It’s only sleeping on the sofa — what’s the big deal! Why are you regretting this now…”
She didn’t know when she started to have a change of heart.
Another flash of thunder streaked across the night sky outside the window.
In the living room.
A petite little figure emerged from the bedroom, twisting her hands as she walked up to the sofa.
As though he sensed something, Yin Shaojie, who was laying on the sofa, opened his eyes.
With the faint light from outside, he saw Mu Xiaoxiao hugging a pillow and looking strangely at him in the darkness.
Surprised, he sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Was she trying to scare the heck out of him by coming over to the sofa and standing by him?
Mu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks. She had been startled by the sudden opening of his eyes and just remembered what she wanted to do.
Lowering her head, she mumbled, “I-I’m scared…”
“What did you say?” Her speech was too muffled, and with the noise of the rain, Yin Shaojie couldn’t hear what she had said.
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed displeased as she glared at him before saying loudly, “I’m scared of the thunder! C-Can you come in and… sleep with me?”
Yin Shaojie was dumbfounded and thought that he had heard incorrectly.
“Did you say that… you’re scared of thunder?”
Was this girl not lying blatantly?
He had grown up together with her, and they had slept together often as kids. Wouldn’t he be perfectly aware of whether she was really scared of thunder?
Luckily, the darkness shielded him from seeing Mu Xiaoxiao’s embarrassed expression. She huffed as she said, “So what if I’m scared of thunder? Can’t I be?”
“Yes, yes, yes of course! Whatever my wifey says is absolutely right!” Yin Shaojie smiled as he said.
