C6 (2/2)
He ran to the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.
What she feared the most was a night like this.
Memories of when she was 6 years old surfaced in her mind. It was also a stormy night. After her mother took her out, she took a long ride in a car. After leaving her on the remote road, she went back home.
She was drenched from the rain, crying as she searched for her mother. In the end, she was almost dragged into the car by a group of bad people. Fortunately, a policeman passed by and saved her.
From then on, An Xingchen had a shadow in her heart for this thunderstorm night.
Every time he encountered a night like this, An Xingchen was so afraid that she couldn't sleep at all.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, showing no signs of stopping, and the rumbling of thunder could be heard continuously.
An Xingchen bit her lips and covered her ears tightly with a blanket. Her eyes were completely red, and because she was too afraid, An Xingchen's body became as stiff as a puppet, and started to tremble uncontrollably.
Even with the lights on in the room, An Xingchen still felt that the pitch black sky outside was like a monster's gaping maw.
”Boom!”
There was another clap of thunder.
”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” An Xingchen was so shocked that she couldn't control herself and screamed.
An Xingchen, who had been frightened to the point that his face turned pale, could no longer stay on his own. He did not even have time to put on his shoes as he staggered out of the bed, opened the door and ran out.
Just as he ran to the corridor, he saw Gong Lingqian pulling open the door.
”What's wrong?” Gong Lingqian frowned slightly as he looked at the panicking An Xingchen.
An Xingchen bit her lips and looked at Gong Lingqian with reddened eyes: ”Young Master Gong … May I come into your room for a moment? ”
”It will be fine after a while... ”I won't disturb you …”
Just as An Xingchen finished speaking, Gong Lingqian who was standing at the door frowned and turned back into his room.
An Xingchen looked at Gong Lingqian's back figure that turned around and left without hesitation, bit her lips, and her eyes immediately swelled up to become even redder.
He gripped the corner of his shirt tightly and was about to turn around and return to his room when the sound of footsteps came from behind him.
”Aren't you afraid of catching a cold if you don't even wear shoes?”
Right after he finished speaking, a man's pair of slippers was placed beside An Xingchen's feet.
An Xingchen looked at the male slippers beside him in a daze, and the fingers that were tightly pinching the hem of his clothes loosened. It turned out that Gong Lingqian had taken the slippers out for her just now …
”What are you standing there for? Put on your shoes and go in. ” Gong Lingqian's deep and pleasant voice sounded out once again.
An Xingchen put on her shoes and followed Gong Lingqian into the room.
The decorating style of the master bedroom was the classic black and white abstinence type.
”Boom!” There was another clap of thunder outside.
An Xingchen jumped in shock, and subconsciously moved closer to Gong Lingqian.
Gong Lingqian finally understood from the look on An Xingchen's face just now, it was because he was afraid of lightning.
”Don't be afraid, I'm here.” As Gong Lingqian spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice by a few degrees.
