In Stardate 9102, humanity had left Earth for seven millennia. In the interstellar era, Earth's civilization was lost, and humans survived on nutrient solutions. In this very year, an Earthling...
Chapter 304: Thunder
“Boom—”
“Boom—”
“Huahuahua——”
Lightning flashed among the dark clouds in the sky, muffled thunder rumbled incessantly, and heavy rain poured down.
Thick clouds blocked the sunlight, and before noon, the surroundings were as dark as evening. The heavy rain outside also blocked the view, and it was impossible to see what was around.
"Bang!"
"No, no, I won't fight Nan anymore."
"Why would you regret it after you've already made the move? I'm arguing, do you dare to take this Nan back?"
"Touch yourself."
"Ahhh, boss, your luck is so good! You actually masturbated again?"
"Give me money."
"Huh? Are you gambling?" Tu Rongrong, who didn't continue practicing with Chen Jinye because of the rain, returned to the huge tent to watch everyone play cards. It turned out that they paid money after the game. So they were gambling?
"It's not that big. We only play for one credit coin. The boss doesn't even make much from self-drawing." Hua Yaoyao shrugged. "With the way we play, we won't even make a few hundred credit coins in the whole day."
During the live broadcast, Tu Rongrong, whose audience often gave her millions of credit coins as rewards, said: "..."
“Boom—”
Just when Tu Rongrong was speechless, a bolt of lightning struck from outside and hit a place not far outside the protection range of the energy shield. The dazzling lightning and the rumbling thunder scared Tu Rongrong, and she couldn't help but shudder.
The others weren't afraid at all. They continued playing mahjong with a calm expression despite the thunder and lightning. Seeing Tu Rongrong like this, they were puzzled and asked, "Goddess, you shouldn't be so timid, right? What's there to be afraid of thunder?"
Tu Rongrong, who had been struck by thunder and burnt on the outside and tender on the inside while undergoing a tribulation, said: "..."
Ordinary lightning is indeed nothing to be afraid of, but she has already developed a psychological shadow about heavenly thunder, so naturally she will have some shadow about ordinary lightning. Isn't it natural for her to be afraid?
What's more, ordinary people are also afraid of thunder, she is not the only one.
"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?" Chen Jinye, who was protecting his beloved, retorted to Hua Yaoyao. He walked to Tu Rongrong, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, the lightning really won't strike us."
"Would you like to do something to distract yourself?" Chen Jinye looked at her, not pale despite seeming to be afraid of thunder, and smiled, "Why don't we play mahjong? If you play mahjong, you won't be focusing on the thunder anymore."
"You guys play by yourselves, I won't play." Tu Rongrong, who didn't like playing mahjong, had no intention of accepting Chen Jinye's kindness. She took out another set of mahjong and said to Chen Jinye, "You play mahjong, I'm going to meditate."
Chen Jinye took the mahjong she handed over and looked at her expression. Seeing that she really didn't want to play mahjong, he handed the mahjong to Chen Kangxing and the others and let them play by themselves. He stayed by Tu Rongrong's side to watch over her.
Even when Tu Rongrong went to meditate, he still sat beside her and watched over her. It was thundering and lightning outside, so he didn't want to leave her alone. The little girl was afraid of thunder, so he watched over her to prevent her from being scared and finding that there was no one around her.
Chen Jinye ignored the group of people around him. In any case, there was only Tu Rongrong in his eyes, and he only saw her.
