Thunder and lightning occur because the yin and yang in the sky above the left side are out of balance, and the airflow carries out ± charges.
But this was already after Qu Jian'er went into battle.
Then it disappeared.
But.
Right now.
The silent thunder rumbled once more.
It seems they've sensed some kind of threat.
The sky instantly turned pitch black.
Countless bolts of lightning flashed once again.
The dazzling, blinding lightning converged into a net that shattered the sky.
It leaves behind vein-like patterns.
Just as Qu Jian'er was about to get up to check, a pair of strong arms held her down.
Someone hugged Qu Jian'er from behind.
He pressed his head against the other person's neck.
Qu Jian'er felt the soft, fluffy hair: "You're awake? I'll go see what's going on with all this lightning."
There was no response for a long time.
Qu Jian'er turned her head to look.
The person behind her didn't open their eyes, as if they were searching for her and embracing her on their own.
Qu Jian'er wanted to break free from his arms.
Go check on Zuo Chen's condition.
They discovered that even though she tried to break free, she couldn't; she could only turn her body to the side and tilt her head to look.
Thunder rumbled.
Zuo Chen's aura grew increasingly profound, like a deep pool concealing countless dangers.
It seems to contain countless terrifying forces, which caused the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.
When the breath suddenly calms down and disappears.
The owner of the arm bit someone's earlobe.
Qu Jian'er subconsciously let out a muffled groan: "Hiss?"
Zuo Chen quickly relented.
Qu Jian'er, as always, would ruin the atmosphere: "To be so unrestrained in the ancestral hall is disrespectful. Loosen your grip first."
Zuo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "..." I don't respect myself, is there anything wrong with that?
Qu Jian'er didn't hear a response: "Why aren't you saying anything? Are there any aftereffects after the fusion? Are you alright?"
Zuo Chen rubbed his face against Qu Jian'er's: "Your pride may be hurt, but your heart and body are in great shape."
He tightened his grip on the person.
Qu Jian'er was silent for a long time: "Have you noticed that after you two merged, you both became a bit more unruly?"
The man beside me regained his familiar voice.
His hoarse voice pressed against Qu Jian'er's ear.
It immediately made her understand a saying—"Being held by someone you like will make you feverish."
In order to prevent her loss of composure from being discovered, she had no choice but to expose someone's change.
This was to cover up her changes.
Zuo Chen sighed softly.
You really can't expect the person in your arms to be romantic.
But he still squinted his eyes contentedly.
The person I could only have in my dreams back then.
She finally appeared beside him.
God knows.
When he merged with Qingchen's memories, the love hidden over the years surged forth instantly.
If only Qu Jian'er could turn around and look at this moment.
She will find out.
Zuo Chen's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he exuded a terrifying aura as if he were biting his prey's neck, wanting to drag her into his den and devour her whole.
Qu Jian'er asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Zuo Chen, who was in control of himself, held Qu Jian'er tightly.
Yet I still couldn't resist the urge.
To relieve that bone-chilling itching.
He could only cup the little face of the person next to him, clinging to them with a warm and sincere affection.
***
Qu Jian'er's face turned bright red.
She turned her face away, refusing to look at anyone.
She was simply too inexperienced; she couldn't even surpass a certain Mr. Zuo in kissing skills.
He Yun looked at Zuo Chen with concern and asked, "Why did you suddenly faint?"
Zuo Chen didn't want anyone to worry about him, so he shook his head and exchanged a glance with his father, Zuo Zhoubai.
Zuo Zhoubai's eyes held a ruthlessness that no one else could detect: "If it weren't for you all today, the entire Zuo family would have become history. I will demand an explanation from them."
His tone was extremely cold.
If we say...
Tone can be made concrete.
That would definitely make people shiver from the cold.
Even when refined people seek revenge, they do so in a way that is both elegant and unconventional, yet it reveals the anger hidden beneath their calm exterior.
Zuo Lao Er looked at Qu Jian'er deeply. Like everyone else, he hadn't expected that he would escape today's seemingly hopeless situation entirely thanks to Qu Jian'er.
These winners in the power struggle have finally seen the side of them that is beyond their control.
They also understood that Qu Jian'er was unattainable.
After this incident...
More and more members of the Zuo family, like Zuo Jing, Zuo Zhijing, and Gu Siyu, unconditionally support Qu Jian'er and Zuo Chen, and even feel that Zuo Chen is not good enough for Qu Jian'er.
Zuo Lao Er didn't have many thoughts; besides feeling fortunate, he only felt guilty, because his indulgence had almost ruined the Zuo family.
He looked at the person who had huddled in the corner.
Zuo Lao Er's eyes were filled with sorrow: "I cannot forgive you on behalf of everyone."
Madam Zuo's heart sank to the bottom.
She and he fell in love freely, and it can be said that she was very fortunate to have met the love of her life.
However, she lacks a clear understanding of her own position and often makes mistakes that are common to ordinary people.
She knew her husband well.
He naturally understood the implied meaning.
Madam Zuo sincerely repented: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have blindly sided with outsiders! Forgive me this time. I didn't want the Zuo family to be ruined forever, I didn't!"
Everyone regrets things afterward.
But not all repentance will be forgiven.
If it weren't for Qu Jian'er today.
Will the Zuo family still exist?
No one present stepped forward to intervene.
Even Zuo Zhijing and Zuo Jing agreed that their mother's actions were outrageously wrong.
We must deeply reflect on this.
Zuo Lao Er withdrew his arm that had been grabbed without expression. He thought for a long time and made a painful decision.
