With a loud "boom", a loud thunder exploded in the night sky, followed by sudden rain, strong wind, and crazy lightning in the dark sky, like thousands of silver snakes rumbling and spreading out in all directions.
Ye Jiang opened the curtains and looked out the window at the gloomy and dark rainy night, a layer of worry covering her beautiful brows.
Today, it was also a rainy night.
Fu Jinbai must be feeling bad right now.
Her long, curled, slender eyelashes trembled and drooped, her sight focused on the rain pouring down outside the window. Soon, she slowly lifted her long eyelashes, a gleam in her eyes, and with her slender white fingers she lifted the edge of her skirt, turned around, picked up the flashlight, and walked downstairs.
At this time, the entire Fu residence was pitch black.
Xu Jiang walked around the living room with a flashlight, but didn't see Fu Jinbai. The little fox hesitated for a few seconds, then remembered that the place for ancestor worship was built on the east side of the house, so she walked out the door.
As soon as the heavy door was opened, a violent storm rushed into the house. Jiang Cuo took a few steps back without warning, and her white skirt was blown to her calves.
Yu Jiang raised her hand to block the wind, her brows slightly furrowed. The darkness, strong wind and heavy rain intertwined, making this rainy night so dark that it was hard to breathe.
"Fu Jinbai." She called out softly.
Without hearing any response, Jiang held up an umbrella, lifted her skirt and walked towards the east. The rain was so heavy that it soaked her shoes and skirt.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dark clouds gathered in the sky seemed to be about to fall.
Yu Jiang's pace gradually became hurried, and she was anxious to find Fu Jinbai.
Suddenly, a pair of pale, bony fingers grasped the edge of Jiang's skirt.
Xu Jiang was suddenly startled and looked down. She shone the flashlight, and the light shot straight ahead, the entire beam illuminating a face.
Fu Jinbai was drenched from head to toe in the rain. The tall and slender man huddled beside three tombstones. His already pale face looked even paler in the flashlight. His lips were pale, his narrow eyes were wet, his eyelids were scarlet, and his angular face was covered with many water droplets, making it hard to tell whether they were tears or raindrops.
He trembled, and after seeing that it was Jiang, he subconsciously lowered his head again, his voice tense and heavy: "Wife..."
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Ye Jiang was stunned for a moment, moved the flashlight away, squatted in front of Fu Jinbai, and gently touched his head: "It's raining, I'm here to take you home..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Jinbai grabbed her hand, pulled it into his arms and hugged her tightly.
He hugged her so tightly that his whole body was shaking.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jiang didn't resist and hugged him, putting her arm around his back and patting him gently: "Let's talk about it when we get home, okay?"
Fu Jinbai buried his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling the familiar sweet scent, and his disordered breathing became slightly more stable. His skin was burning hot, pressed against her shoulders, and his long arms kept tightening, as if he wanted to rub her into his flesh and blood: "I'm sorry, I want to go back early."
His voice trembled at the end, and he choked with sobs: "But suddenly it started raining."
"I'm scared."
I’m afraid.
Fu Jinbai said he was scared.
These three words hit Jiang Yu's heart hard. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She hugged him tightly and said, "I'll stay with you."
The scalding tears hit the skin on Ye Jiang's neck, burning so much that Ye Jiang shuddered. She felt a little sad and said, "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
Fu Jinbai shuddered slightly. Such a tall man, like a young animal seeking shelter, fearfully and helplessly threw himself on Jiang, holding her tightly, afraid that she would leave too.
Yu Jiang did not ask Fu Jinbai why he was afraid of rainy nights. She just stayed with him quietly and told him over and over again: "Don't be afraid, I'm your father."
