Chapter 18 Lightning is the hope of life, and now it is
Wen Duo didn't know what the barrage of comments was about, but the constantly jumping words and the series of "hehehe" made her cheeks hot.
She vaguely felt that there was something extremely shameful hidden in those words, and she was so ashamed that she almost evaporated into a wisp of smoke.
But what she couldn't ignore was the burning sensation pressing against her.
"Um."
She nodded quickly.
Now I just hope Ji Huaishen can let her go as soon as possible.
Perhaps guessing Wen Duo's thoughts, Ji Huaishen knelt on one knee on the mattress, his movements as gentle as if he was treating something fragile.
He carefully placed Wen Duo on the bed, and then turned over and lay beside her, deliberately keeping a distance.
When their backs finally touched the soft mattress, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Duo was glad that she finally didn't have to face that dangerous part, while Ji Huaishen was glad that his endurance was still good enough.
The thunder outside the window gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.
Wen Duo secretly glanced at Ji Huaishen and found that he was lying upright with his hands placed neatly on both sides and his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was sleeping in the correct posture of a soldier.
[It's hilarious, the male lead is sleeping like this, and he can still hold back even with his sister right next to him?]
[There's enough space for another person to sleep at this distance. You're a couple, not roommates!]
[Meibao, hurry up! Take advantage of the thunderstorm and knock him down! ]
Wen Duo's ears were tickled by the barrage of comments, but because of the thunderstorm, she was a little scared and couldn't help but move closer.
She turned sideways and tentatively touched Ji Huaishen's arm with her fingers.
The man's muscles tensed instantly, as if struck by an electric current.
But he quickly forced himself to relax and even moved slightly towards her.
It should be...that she is willing to be held by me, right?
With tacit approval, Wen Duo became bolder.
She carefully held Ji Huaishen's arm in her arms, as if she was holding her most beloved doll.
The man's arms were strong and powerful, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Ji Huai's deep breathing became noticeably heavier.
He could clearly feel the two soft curves squeezing his arms, and the touch made his Adam's apple roll.
[I can't take it anymore. How can these two be so innocent and yet so seductive? ]
[It's so funny, a couple lies in bed just to lie there!?]
[Male protagonist, are you not capable enough? If not, let me do it. I can be the superior one for love! ]
The barrage of comments was getting noisy, while the rain outside the window was gradually easing.
The sound of raindrops hitting the glass became smaller and smaller. Wen Duo thought the rain was about to stop and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Can.
“Boom—”
A loud thunder split the night sky, making the windows buzz.
This time the thunder was much louder than the previous ones, as if it was going to kill everyone.
This made Wen Duo, who had been relaxing, tense up immediately. She screamed and her body moved before she thought. The crisis forced her to hold the person next to her tightly.
That is, that slender leg unconsciously crossed the man's waist.
"Hmm..." Ji Huai let out a muffled groan from his throat.
This voice was completely different from his usual restraint, with a slight rise at the end, less patient and more joyful.
Wenduo suddenly froze.
She felt a burning sensation on the inside of her thigh, and the hardness and temperature made her instantly understand what she had touched.
She tried to pull away in a hurry, but a big, hot hand held down her leg.
"Don't move." Ji Huai took a deep breath, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "If you move again..."
Unfinished words are more chilling than direct threats.
Wen Duo could clearly feel the violent rise and fall of his chest, mixed with a faint cold fragrance that surrounded her.
She lowered her eyes and dared not look up, but she could feel that the man's big hand covering her leg was like a stove, constantly heating up, as if it wanted to burn her.
When the barrage saw this scene, it exploded directly:
【Ahhh what kind of tiger and wolf posture is this! 】
[The veins on the back of the male protagonist's hand are bulging! ]
[My sister's face is so red that blood can drip out. Help me]
【Go ahead! What are you waiting for?】
[Can VIPs watch it in advance? Even a gift is fine. Please let me watch it. I beg you. The child is like a piece of meat.]
The barrage of comments filled the screen like crazy, but Wen Duo had no time to pay attention.
She felt like she was being roasted on a fire, with Ji Huaishen's hot big hands covering her thighs. The occasional slight movement of his fingers caused her to shudder slightly.
The two of them were very silent, and Wen Duo felt that every second was like a year.
When will he calm down? Wuuuuuu.
I heard from the comments that Ji Huaishen's anger always lasted ten minutes, but it seemed that was only when I was not around.
If this posture continues...
You won’t have to stay overnight!
At this moment, Ji Huaishen suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Let's chat and divert our attention."
Hearing this, Wen Duo nodded in agreement.
It’s better to chat than to just wait like this!
"When I was a child, I was also afraid of thunder, but after something happened, I am not afraid anymore," said Ji Huaishen.
When Wen Duo heard this, his attention was immediately drawn to it.
What could happen that could make someone change their mind directly?
Without waiting for Wen Duo to ask, Ji Huaishen continued to speak calmly:
“When I was little, my mother would often go to work at the club and lock me in the house when she went out.”
"That night, it rained so heavily that the basement where I lived was flooded."
"But the door was locked. I was submerged in water. I couldn't swim, so I had no strength to escape."
"Just when I thought I was going to die, a bolt of lightning struck and hit a tree outside the house."
"The tree fell and just knocked a hole in this basement."
"I got out."
Having said that, Ji Huaishen turned his head to look at the rain outside the window, his voice filled with an incomprehensible emotion:
"So, for me, lightning is the hope of life."
“Even now…”
When Ji Huaishen said the last sentence, his voice was very soft, like a feather, and was covered by the sound of rain, so Wen Duo could not hear it.
But, the barrage heard it.
[The protagonist had such a miserable childhood. Fortunately, the lightning struck here. If not, the protagonist would be dead.]
[Wow, I'm just a greedy girl who came here to eat meat, but why is my saliva dripping from the corners of my eyes?]
[Lightning is the hope of life, and it still is today. So, now that the heroine is in his arms because of lightning, is that also the hero's hope of life?]
[Why was the male protagonist locked in the house? Not many mothers treat their children like this. They wouldn’t lock the house to prevent the child from running around.]
[You forgot that the male protagonist is an illegitimate child. The woman is waiting for him to grow up and recognize him as her biological father. She is afraid that he will run away.]
[Yes, the male protagonist was very smart when he was young. He immediately understood his own identity and the woman's thoughts.]
Wen Duo listened to Ji Huaishen's childhood experiences and looked at the words in the barrage. Her eyes were red and her nose was sore.
Ji Huaishen had a miserable childhood. Everyone knows his bad reputation, but don’t they know what he went through?
His experiences are beyond the reach of human endurance.
Wen Duo raised her head and looked at Ji Huaishen. She mustered up her courage, reached out and touched the top of his head, and said softly and soothingly:
"It's all over, everything is over, the future will get better and better..."
Ji Huaishen thought Wen Duo would say he was pitiful, but...
But she said, all these disasters, pain, and despair are in the past, will the future be better and better?
Ji Huaishen was stunned for a long time, and all his words turned into a light laugh:
"Well, everything is over. The future...will be better..."
