The thunder grew louder and the rain grew heavier, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. All of this reached Chen Hua's ears, along with the pain in her body.
It hurt a lot, but the pain wasn't physical; it came from her heart, as if something had been lost there, leaving an emptiness and a throbbing pain.
The pain caused sweat to drip from her forehead. She tried to touch her chest to see if something was missing, but found that she couldn't control her body. She was frozen in place, with countless raindrops falling on her as if trying to wash away something from her.
Through the rain, she seemed to see a figure from behind. The figure slowly disappeared, and by the time she saw it, it was already very blurry. But the pain in her heart was even greater.
That night, a heavy rain fell, pattering against the houses and making a dripping sound.
A clap of thunder startled Shen Hua, who sat bolt upright in bed. Sweat beaded on her forehead.
She had a dream, a dream she couldn't quite make out, but one that filled her with terror. Even now, she feels a lingering pain in her body.
"It's raining, and there's thunder."
She said that the doors and windows were closed. She remembered that she had opened the window before going to sleep, and Xie Sichen had closed it afterward.
"Yes! Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xie Sichen covered her ears, as if he had gotten up and hugged her ever since she woke up, then wrapped his arms around her ears.
This action is so practiced that it's almost unrepeatable, as if it's been done countless times.
Shen Hua removed his hand and said, "Thank you, but it's okay. I'm not afraid of thunder and rain."
"Boom!"
She had barely finished speaking when a clap of thunder startled her, and she hid in Xie Sichen's arms.
Xie Sichen smiled faintly, his eyes filled with worry, and then covered her ears.
Shen Hua slapped his hand, then hid in bed, kicking the blankets unhappily to prevent Xie Sichen from coming over.
"I already said, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all, I don't need your help."
He spoke with great conviction, but he was already clutching his chest and tears streaming down his face.
She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just felt inexplicably wronged and uncomfortable, and her chest ached.
She swore that this was the most rude thing she had ever done; she couldn't control herself, and tears welled up in her eyes on their own, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Seeing her like this, Xie Si felt terrible. It was as if a battle was raging inside him, a kind of sadness that felt strange and suffocating him.
He didn't go over to her, letting her calm down on her own, but he still had to take out several handkerchiefs to wipe her tears. Shen Hua didn't stand on ceremony and took them out to wipe them.
As she cried, she let things take their course, attributing her condition to the fact that she had lost her spiritual power and was still bound by the laws of time.
Hmph! That's right, otherwise why would she cry? She's not a child anymore.
Feeling tired, she cried herself to sleep. Xie Sichen covered her with a blanket and, seeing that her brows were no longer furrowed, lay down beside her and closed his eyes.
Whether he slept or not, only he himself knows.
The next day, Shen Hua woke up very early. For some reason, she suddenly thought about herself all night and couldn't fall back asleep.
If she stayed here any longer, she didn't know what would become of her, so she should leave as soon as possible. She needed to speed up the plot, and the first thing she had to do was for Mu Xiaoyu to die of illness.
So she needed to temporarily recover her spiritual power. Turning her head, she saw that Driver Xie was still asleep, so she lowered her head and kissed him.
She quickly withdrew her hand, but she didn't expect that Xie Sichen would open his eyes as soon as she touched him. Their eyes met, and Shen Hua blushed, not knowing whether it was from embarrassment or something else.
Xie Sichen's ears turned red, and the redness even extended to his neck.
Shen Hua had already left, but Xie Sichen was still looking at her with a hint of a smile in his eyes. Shen Hua had no idea what he was thinking.
"Um, if I said it was just an accident, would you believe me?"
She didn't believe such nonsense.
I believe you.
Chen Hua: ...
She felt like she was hallucinating. Was Xie Sichen really that naive and easily fooled? He believed her clumsy lie, which only made her feel more guilty.
She has nothing here, so she'll send him more things when she gets back.
"It's good that you believe me. It's still early, you can get some more sleep."
"Is that all?" Xie Sichen said somewhat disappointedly.
Shen Hua: "You're not going to make me take responsibility, are you?"
"May I?"
Shen Hua hesitated for a moment, then patted his shoulder and said, "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that you're still too young and don't quite understand what responsibility means, so we can't make too many promises about this kind of thing."
Xie Sichen: "I'm older than you."
Chen Hua: ...
"So, I'm still young, so I can't make promises like that. We're all kids, a kiss is okay, it's not a big deal, right?"
Xie Sichen nodded in agreement and said, "Then may I kiss you?"
Chen Hua: ...
Is that okay? She just had a lot of questions and wondered if kissing her more would prolong the return of spiritual energy; she hadn't tried it yet.
I'd really like to give it a try.
"Can."
Immediately, she leaned closer, and seeing her so close, Xie Sichen's ears turned even redder.
But at this moment, he really didn't back down. He got up, propped himself up on the bed, and kissed her.
His movements were not as light and quick as Xie Sichen's; they were both gentle and domineering.
Two minutes later, Shen Hua pushed him away.
Xie Sichen has no sense of martial ethics! She's not a teenager anymore, don't think she doesn't know what family is, this isn't family, it's clearly, clearly...
I am the one who is right.
She got up and ran downstairs to look in the mirror. In the dim light, she saw her reflection. Her face turned red, her heart raced, and her lips swelled up. She almost didn't recognize herself.
The key issue is that even with her spiritual power, her resistance is still weak. Xie Sichen's stunning good looks were already very eye-catching, but she didn't expect him to reveal his blue eyes. Even now, she doesn't dare to look at him, for fear that she won't be able to resist.
This is utterly lacking in martial ethics.
Xie Sichen was still sitting on the bed. He seemed to have lost control a bit just now. He didn't know if he had scared the girl, or if he would have another chance next time.
But the fact that the girl stole a kiss from him suggests that she still likes him!
He reached up and touched his face and eyes; at least they were somewhat useful.
She quickly withdrew her blue glasses and got out of bed, pretending nothing had happened.
He discovered that he could use his spiritual power again, and the feeling of restriction was gone.
He walked over to Chen Hua and took out a box of ointment.
"I didn't control my strength just now, I'll be more careful next time. Use this to apply it, it will help it heal faster."
Chen Hua: ...
What kind of talk is this? She's made up her mind; once she regains her spiritual power, she'll definitely knock him unconscious with needles, and then...
