Chapter 31 (2/2)

Confirming that he was truly crazy, Cui Xiao shook his head.

He decided to run back, seeing that the rain was not stopping any time soon.

However, his clothes would be wet since he didn’t have an umbrella…

Thinking for a moment, he lifted the iron box with lemons above his head to block the rain.

“You can leave…”

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhe waved his hand and called again, “Lightning, come on!”

Crack!

Another lightning bolt descended from the sky.

Excited, Shen Zhe was focusing to attract the electricity when he heard someone fall.

Shen Zhe turned around in a hurry after not sensing any injuries on himself, only to discover that Cui Xiao was foaming on the ground.

The lightning missed him but hit Cui Xiao.

“Are you alright?”

Shen Zhe quickly helped Cui Xiao to get back on his feet. He found that he was not fatally wounded, although his face was blackened and his hair was standing on end.

It seemed that his body and mind were strong with the seven illuminated stars.

“I’m fine…”

Cui Xiao felt like crying.

“Bro, this is the guy who wanted to be hit, not me…”

“I don’t want to be struck…”

“I’d better go…”

Resting for a moment and feeling recovered, Cui Xiao gloomily blocked his head with the box again and struggled to walk forth.

Crack!

Another lightning bolt came.

Putong!

He fell and cramped again.

“Well…”

Shen Zhe had waited for such a long time and got nothing, but Cui Xiao was hit twice the moment he was under the rain. Shen Zhe said enviously, “Cui Xiao, you are truly distinguished? What can I do to be struck by lightning as many times as I want like you did?”

“…”

Cui Xiao trembled and wept.

What was he talking about?

Someone might be envied for having good grades, for having a girlfriend, for having a tremendous amount of money, or for being a Mage…

But nobody was ever envied for being struck by lightning!

The lightning was more and more violent as the storm got heavier.

Cui Xiao was back to himself after lying for a moment. He stood up and heaved the box again after he watched vigilantly and saw no lightnings in the sky.

“I’m really leaving…”

He peeped at the sky, secretly nodded, and stepped out.

Crack!

Putong!

He cramped on the ground again, this time both foaming and losing consciousness.

“Magnificent!”

Shen Zhe raised his thumb.

Was the lightning biased against bad students, too?

His body was stiffening after waiting for so long, but Cui Xiao had been hit three times when he was only five meters away…

That was so unfair!

“Why was he favored over me?”

“Why are you only striking him? You’re truly unfair!”

Shen Zhe pointed at the sky angrily.

“…”

Cui Xiao cramped even harder.

“He wants to be struck but he’s fine. I’m only a passerby, and yet I was hit three times…”

More importantly, he was even complaining about the injustice…

Why was he so shameless?

Struggling back to his feet, Cui Xiao said, “It can’t happen again… or I might really die here…”

Although he had illuminated seven stars, the lightning was still too powerful. Resisting it three times was his best; he could die if it happened again.

Cui Xiao was about to lift up the box with his remaining strength when Shen Zhe said, “Wait…”

He finally understood the reason!

It was because of the box.

The box in which Cui Xiao kept the lemons was made of iron, with a metal stick on one side to mark the brand of his stall.

The top of the iron stick was as thin as a needle, making work as a mobile lightning conductor.

It would’ve been a miracle if the guy was not hit by the lightning!

“Thank god I overheard this in my previous life…”

Figuring out why, Shen Zhe looked at Cui Xiao in disdain again.

“Are you really a good student?”

“You deserve to be struck for not knowing this!”

“…” Cui Xiao was going crazy.

“I was hit three times because of my misfortune. I can’t complain about that. But why are you eyeing me so scornfully?”

“Do you despise me for attracting lightning?”

“I need to borrow your box!”

Too lazy to explain, Shen Zhe stepped forward and raised the iron box above him.

“Come on, lightning!”

After a boom, a thick lightning bolt fell with the rain and spread down through the iron stick on the box.

Stiffened, Shen Zhe immediately sensed infinite electricity.

The lemon battery was not worth mentioning compared to this.

He had finally been hit by lightning after such a long wait…

Shen Zhe’s eyes were wet. He was excited.
