"I'll tell them when I get back," Zhou Ping said, sounding a little nervous.
Shang Yan turned to look at him in surprise, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Okay, I think so?" Zhou Ping squeezed Shang Yan's hand.
"I'll say it with you!" Shang Yan made the final decision, believing that such matters could only be successfully resolved if both people spoke together in unison.
Seeing Shang Yan's confident expression, Zhou Ping's lips curled up slightly.
After Shang Yan returned the tractor to the school, he ran out excitedly.
“I don’t have any classes for the rest of the time, so I can spend the whole day with you,” he said, stepping forward to stand in front of Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping nodded silently, and as he walked with Shang Yan, he reached out and took his hand.
"We haven't gone out yet, shall we go get something to eat first?" Just as Shang Yan finished speaking, a large raindrop fell directly onto his head.
He looked up, somewhat puzzled, "Huh?"
Then Zhou Ping pulled Shang Yan and they started running. The rain came suddenly, and the large raindrops hit them hard. The two people who didn't have umbrellas were caught off guard and drenched in the face.
After running to the nearest shop, Shang Yan stood next to Zhou Ping, watching the rain outside gradually intensify, and sighed softly.
The shop happened to be a noodle shop, and the two of them each ordered a bowl of noodles and sat inside, eating their noodles while watching the rain fall outside.
"It's raining so hard." Shang Yan squinted comfortably after finishing his noodles. Zhou Ping had also finished eating and was now holding Shang Yan's hand tightly beside him.
"Hmm." Zhou Ping took out his phone and glanced at the time. It was already 3:10 pm. Perhaps because of the rain and the fact that they had just finished eating, Shang Yan was being relatively well-behaved.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, startling Shang Yan, who was leaning against Zhou Ping, and he looked up at the sky outside.
"Was that thunder just now?" Shang Yan asked, staring intently at the sky outside, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
Zhou Ping thought Shang Yan was scared, since the thunder was indeed very loud. Seeing Shang Yan staring intently at the foggy sky outside, he reached out and covered Shang Yan's ears.
"Don't be afraid." Just as these words were spoken, thunder roared outside again.
Shang Yan was conflicted at the moment. He turned around and took Zhou Ping's hand.
"I have something important to take care of..." he said earnestly, even moving closer to Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping looked at him with surprise, as if to say, "What important matter could you possibly have to attend to?"
"I can't stay with you this afternoon, I have to go now." Shang Yan reached out and hugged Zhou Ping, then tilted his head slightly and kissed his chin.
After saying that, he tossed the small ball 019 to Zhou Ping, saying, "019 is waterproof. You can take it with you later."
The summoned 019 looked left at Zhou Ping and right at Shang Yan. Then, a clap of thunder came from the sky, startling the little white ball.
[Shang Yan, where are you going?]
Shang Yan had already rushed into the rain outside. Hearing 019 in his mind asking him where he was going, he replied almost instantly, "To become stronger!"
"Hey, at least take me with you! Zhou Ping... Zhou Ping chased after them too!" 019's anxious voice echoed in my mind.
After seeing Shang Yan rush into the rain, Zhou Ping chased after him. Because 019 was by his side, he didn't get wet.
"Shang Yan!" Zhou Ping's heart was pounding as he watched Shang Yan's retreating figure. This guy must have had another episode!
And it just so happens to be at this time.
019 stretched out her slender arm to try and grab him, "It's okay, he'll be fine... You shouldn't go after him."
I'll definitely get anxious when I see Shang Yan get struck by lightning later.
Shang Yan probably didn't want Zhou Ping to see this, so 019 stood next to him and said, "It's raining so hard, let's go back to school."
Zhou Ping reached out and flicked the small ball away. "What is he trying to do?"
019 covered her face with her slender arms, "I don't know!"
After chasing for a while, Zhou Ping let out a soft sigh, "What is he doing there?"
The rain was heavy, and with such heavy rain and a gray sky, it was difficult to see anything clearly in the rain.
019 looked at the direction of a tall building that Zhou Ping was pointing to. There was a small dot on it. She didn't know how Zhou Ping recognized it, but he could see it from so far away.
019 felt a little guilty, "Maybe he just wanted to see the scenery, because the higher you stand, the farther you can see..."
A bolt of lightning struck, landing precisely where Shang Yan was standing on the high-rise building.
Zhou Ping's pupils contracted, and he grabbed a large scallion from a nearby stall and swung it at the lightning bolt.
As the sword intent surged, the lightning bolts were dispersed.
Shang Yan, standing on the rooftop preparing to be struck by lightning: ?
Zhou Ping had already gone upstairs and stood next to Shang Yan, his chest heaving.
Seeing that Shang Yan was soaked in the rain, looking like a little dog drenched in the downpour, and staring at her with a slightly bewildered expression.
Zhou Ping hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.
Why do you do this? Didn't you used to love teasing me?
"Don't do such dangerous things again..."
Shang Yan hugged him back, and only after the man loosened his grip a little did he reply, "I didn't do anything dangerous."
Hearing this, Zhou Ping couldn't hold back any longer. He asked, somewhat annoyed, "Isn't it dangerous to go out looking for lightning to strike you in the rain?"
"You're already in poor health, what will be left after these lightning strikes?" He was furious, grabbing Shang Yan's hand and pressing it hard a few times. "Come back with me."
Shang Yan shook his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the sky. "No, I have to be struck by lightning. You don't understand..."
"This is how I advanced to the Forbidden Realm."
How can you advance in a forbidden realm by being struck by lightning?
Zhou Ping bent down and, ignoring Shang Yan's struggles, picked him up by the waist, saying, "You're talking nonsense."
"Hey... how could you do this?" Shang Yan tried to break free by pulling hard with his hands and kicking with his legs, but he still couldn't break free.
"Just let me get struck by lightning, and you'll see..."
Zhou Ping turned to 019 and asked, "Is what he said true?"
019 waved his arm and then said earnestly, "We haven't tried it yet!"
If I haven't tried it, then it's uncertain.
Zhou Ping hugged Shang Yan even tighter this time. He felt that Shang Yan was confused and desperately needed to be looked after.
He usually spoils Shang Yan too much, letting him do things he's not sure about.
If being struck by lightning prevents him from advancing in rank, what will happen to him? Will he be injured?
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a bolt of lightning struck them, who hadn't yet come downstairs.

Another card was approved yesterday, and I'm having a really tough time making changes.
I've been preparing to revise another book over the past couple of days, removing the ambiguous plot and replacing it with a normal one, while trying to maintain updates for this one.
