The room was completely dark, and nothing could be seen clearly.
But the moment the door opened, Mu Bai rushed in impatiently.
Amidst thunder and rain, Huo Yan's tall figure was hidden in his raincoat.
His expression was even more terrifying than the terrible weather.
Inside the house
Mu Bai groped around and found the candle, then lit it.
In the instant the firelight flared up, he precisely captured the frail figure in the corner of the bed.
Su Ruanruan curled up, her head bowed. She covered her ears tightly, tears blurring her vision, her lips trembling.

Su Ruanruan didn't want to leave this comforting embrace.
