The pain of being dismembered alive was deeply etched into the original owner's memory.
At the moment of her rebirth, lightning and thunder roared like the fury of the gods, raging overhead and shaking her soul.
She dared not, she was afraid. Having been reborn, she didn't have the courage to face the future of this life.
That said, in Ahri's line of sight, the man in front of her clenched his fist, turned around, and left.
He gently closed the door.
Ah Li slowly withdrew her gaze. It's good that she left; she must have been exhausted from acting.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
However, the lights in the villa, which had been without power, suddenly came on.
Song Yuan went to the basement and started the backup power supply, the generator that every large villa is equipped with.
With light, the lightning outside didn't seem so scary anymore.
Song Yuan carried a glass of water back to Ali's room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, a cautious, slightly tentative inquiry came from inside the door, "Who is it?"
Then came the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by the click of the door lock as the person inside locked the door from the inside.
Song Yuan raised an eyebrow. Not only did he not open the door, but he also locked it from the inside?
"It's me, Song Yuan."
His voice, coming through the door, carried a hint of barely perceptible gentleness.
"Song Yuan? Didn't you leave?"
Inside the room, Ahri stood behind the door, covering herself with a blanket.
Song Yuan said, "I'm going to the basement to turn on the backup power."
Once it was confirmed that it was Song Yuan, the door slowly opened, revealing a slightly disheveled but still beautiful face.
Song Yuan's gaze swept over the scene before him, and he almost burst out laughing.
Because Ahri, covered by a thick blanket, had swelled up several times in size and was peeking at him from behind the door, looking just like a thief.
When Ah Li saw that it was Song Yuan, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She took a step back and said, "Come in. I thought the thief came as soon as you left."
Song Yuan stared speechlessly at the slowly moving 'mountain of blankets', then carried his water glass into the house and said, "If you're so scared, why don't you just call Wang Ma and the others back later?"
Ahri sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, you make the arrangements."
Previously, this large villa had a housekeeper, a butler, and bodyguards.
Later, after the original owner moved in, she was worried that Wang Ma and the others would expose her lies, so she sent them all back to the Song family's old house.
She also said that she didn't need anyone to wait on her.
Song Yuan placed the water glass on the bedside table and said, "Drink some warm water first."
Okay, thank you.
Ahri touched the cup gratefully; the temperature was just right, just like his care at that moment.
Seeing that Ah Li hadn't put the blanket down yet, Song Yuan didn't say anything.
He turned and walked toward the wardrobe.
His clothes were in the closet; he was going to take a shower.
It's too late tonight, so he reluctantly decided to stay here for the night.
Ah Li held her water glass, taking small sips, when her gaze inadvertently caught Song Yuan entering the bathroom.
Soon after, the sound of rushing water could be heard.
Ahri finished drinking the water and didn't dare to listen any further.
Is he staying tonight?
This was something the original owner had always dreamed of but could never obtain.
But for Ahri, forget it.
So she quietly took a new quilt from the closet and spread it on the other side of the bed, deciding to keep a proper distance from him and let each other be well.
Asking her to go to the guest room now won't work; she's too scared to go alone during a thunderstorm.
Therefore, it's best if each person has their own blanket, so that no one touches anyone else.
When Song Yuan came out, he found an extra blanket on the bed.
On the other side of the bed, Ahri was already curled up in the blankets, with only the top of her head showing.
Song Yuan's gaze fell on the water glass on the bedside table; the water inside was empty.
