Yan Jun's movements suddenly froze. Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, he felt her helpless little hands tightly clutching the collar of his pajamas.
She seemed to be... ... afraid of something ...
At this moment, there was another thunder outside the window, and her body trembled in response.
She was like a frightened little bird, curled up into a ball and snuggled tightly against him.
Yan Jun sighed. He probably knew that she was afraid of thunder.
So he did not ask anymore. He only reached out his hand to hug her shoulders, wrapping her whole body in his arms.
After a while, she gently patted Xia Jinqi's back and coaxed her.
His hands were very big and powerful. It was as if he had cast an iron fortress for her. As long as she hid within it, she didn't have to be afraid of anything.
Xia Jinqi had her eyes closed the entire time. She gritted her teeth and although she didn't say a word, she could feel his gentleness at this moment.
Her eyelashes, which were trembling non-stop, were slowly soaked.
The embrace that she had longed for when she was young had finally come to her side... ...
Once she became addicted to this warmth, she was destined to never forget it for the rest of her life.
"..."
It was a stormy night.
By the time dawn broke, it had miraculously stopped.
The brilliant sunlight came one after another, sprinkling into the Lotus pond in the courtyard.
The water droplets on the petals that had not yet slid off reflected the morning sunlight, dripping and sparkling.
In the distant horizon, there was even a colorful rainbow bridge.
Everything looked like it had just woken up, hazy and beautiful.
Xia Jinqi had been sleeping the whole time.
The thunder last night was disturbing. She was half-asleep and half-awake in a daze, only barely falling asleep in the morning.
She didn't wake up, so Yan Jun accompanied her to lie in bed for a while.
Working overtime last night gave her the leisure of this morning. There was nothing much to do at the company, so she might as well stay in bed.
However, she was also bored when she woke up. Sometimes she played with her hair, sometimes she used her finger to point at the tip of her nose, and sometimes she touched her cheek... ...
She was having a lot of fun.
The Sun outside the window was getting higher. From time to time, there were a few bird calls coming in. Coupled with the Pure White curtains that were rolled up by the wind, they were everywhere reminding Yan Jun that it was time to get up.
He leaned over and planted a kiss on Xia Jinqi's forehead. Only then did Yan Jun lift the corner of the blanket and quietly get out of bed.
He walked to the balcony and looked down. It was a scenery that could not be more beautiful.
He had lived here for a period of time when he was young and did not realize how beautiful the scenery was. However, after hearing Xia Jinqi's praise of the scenery here, he suddenly fell in love with this place.
It was indeed very beautiful... ...
After Yan Jun got up for a while, Xia Jinqi also woke up.
As her beautiful eyes turned slightly, she slowly opened her eyes.
She stared blankly at the person in front of her for a few seconds before sitting up.
She looked around the room and then stopped at the tall figure standing on the balcony.
She couldn't remember when he came last night. She only remembered that she was leaning in his arms. She didn't know how safe she felt.
Xia Jinqi didn't get out of bed directly. Instead, she hugged the blanket and sat up.
She crossed her arms around her knees and rested her head on her knees. She tilted her face and looked at the man who didn't know that she had woken up.
The snow-white curtains were still rolling in circles, making monotonous and repetitive movements.
The Birdsong outside the window was still crisp and sweet, full of vitality.
The temperature in the room was still constant at 23 degrees Celsius.
Xia Jinqi knew that it must have been such a beautiful morning that she had lost herself.
She thought that she had loved him a little more.
