Jiang Nian's pupils contracted.
I had to exert a lot of effort to keep myself from screaming at that moment.
She curled up in a corner of the sofa, gripping the gun tightly, and closed her eyes. Her hands were trembling so badly she could barely hold the gun.
My clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
But the next second, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening in the darkness.
It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see anything. At that moment, she was completely unable to think calmly.
Instinctively, he pointed the gun directly at the source of the sound, but his voice trembled.
"...Don't come any closer!"
"Don't come any closer..."
"Don't come near me."
She didn't want to expose her vulnerable side to anyone.
But the other party seemed not to hear his warning. Or perhaps, they were completely unafraid of death.
Just as she was in shock, the man, with the gun pressed against her chest, used his tall and broad body to pull her into his arms.
The other person's voice came through my ear.
"Baby...don't be afraid, I'm here."
He held her hand even tighter.
It's as if they want to meld her into their very bones.
……Why.
It feels so familiar.
Jiang Nian suddenly felt a tightness in her throat.
The moment she was embraced by the man, thunder roared outside, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Yet, an unprecedented sense of security washed over her.
For some reason, her eyes reddened and tears slid down her cheeks.
His hand unconsciously relaxed, and he didn't even notice that the gun had fallen.
Tear it open.
The power had probably been restored. The floor lamp next to the sofa flickered and then came back on.
The sudden, bright light made Jiang Nian instinctively close her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she realized that it was indeed the man she had taken in who was holding her in his arms.
The gun lay on the side of the sofa, the two men pressed close together with almost no space between them.
The moment their eyes met, the man's emotions were unpredictable, then vanished in an instant. He simply raised his hand and gently wiped away a tear from her face: "Baby, are you crying because you're scared?"
"How could you..."
Jiang Nian froze, feeling a bit confused.
After regaining her composure, she asked, "How did you suddenly appear? How did you know..."
How did I know she was afraid of the dark?
Why would he come out and hug her when she was most scared?
The man looked down into her eyes and replied, "I heard you call me."
"……impossible."
Jiang Nian took a deep breath.
She was certain that even in her most terrified moments, she did not scream.
Calling him a man is even more impossible, because she has no idea what his name is.
“Okay,” Si Boye paused, “Actually, I’m afraid of thunder and the dark. So when the power went out, I came out to look for you.”
"..."
When he hugged her, he told her not to be afraid.
But Jiang Nian didn't want to delve into what exactly happened.
She felt a body heat that wasn't hers seeping through the fabric. This intimate contact made her stiffen.
"...Then you can let go of me now, the call has come back on."
"But it's still thundering outside,"
The man lowered his head and hugged her even tighter. "I'm scared, the power might go out again in a bit."
Does that mean he wants to hold her forever?
"you……"
What a scoundrel.
He didn't look scared at all.
Before Jiang Nian could speak, the man looked down at her again and asked, "Baby, were you asleep just now?"
Jiang Nian didn't react for a moment: "What?"
"I said, before the power went out, were you lying on the sofa asleep by yourself?"
"……No."
Jiang Nian didn't know why the other person was asking her this.
Let alone a thunderstorm like that. Even on a calm night, given her insomnia, it would be impossible for her to fall asleep.
The next second, the man said, "I wasn't asleep either. And while I was lying down just now, I remembered something else."
Jiang Nian no longer expected the man in front of her to remember anything serious.
But I couldn't help but look up and ask, "What did you remember?"
Si Boye said in a serious tone, "I just remembered that I seem to have a superpower."
"The person I hold will fall asleep quickly and sleep very well."
"..."
Jiang Nian was mentally prepared; no matter what outrageous things the other party said, she would remain calm.
But isn't this a bit too outrageous?
It almost made her laugh out loud.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Who would believe something like this?"
“It’s true,” the man said in a low voice. “If you don’t believe me, let’s try it, okay?”
Want to give it a try?
Before she could even agree, the man suddenly shifted his position by pulling her into his arms with one hand.
She straddled his lap. The two faced each other, one of the man's hands around her waist.
He looked straight at her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Just like this... in my arms, lie on top of me, and try sleeping."
Too close.
The other person's warm breath landed on her sensitive ear, and her body trembled involuntarily.
In that instant, a thought suddenly popped into Jiang Nian's head.
The man she picked up late at night wasn't an injured, amnesiac man, but a succubus who had been scheming to get close to her.
With such a captivating face and such a figure, every glance and gesture seemed to be an attempt to seduce her.
"I……"
With a loud bang.
Another clap of thunder.
The moment the thunder roared, the man tightened his grip on her waist, pressing the girl against his broad chest and gently stroking her back.
"Close your eyes, baby."
"I will stay with you."
It's so quiet.
Even though the outside world was still filled with the deafening roar of thunder, she could hear the steady, powerful heartbeat emanating from the other person's chest.
It's as if the world consists of only the two of them.
I was enveloped by that inexplicable sense of security and a strangely familiar feeling. The next second, I actually felt a bit sleepy.
Jiang Nian involuntarily closed her eyes.
She buried her face in the man's shoulder, her consciousness gradually fading.
How could there possibly be superpowers in this world?
This person must really be a succubus.
They cast a spell on her.
I'm going to trick her into bed... and then devour her...
Hmm... that must be it...
