She didn't know how long she had been walking when the road ahead started to brighten slightly.
A black sports car was laying in wait in the darkness, its headlights illuminating the rain-shrouded road under her feet.
There was a figure standing silently next to the car, holding a black umbrella. As Meng Xi'er lifted her head, she saw Gu Huai'an's pale, handsome face.
Their eyes met.
Gu Huai'an held the black umbrella over her, a look of disapproval on his face as he took in her drenched figure. She was soaked to the skin, her hair sticking wetly to her clothes.
"Holding an umbrella and not using it, do you find being drenched in the rain amusing?"
Gu Huai'an quirked an eyebrow, casting a glance at the umbrella she clutched in her hand, he asked.
Meng Xi'er trembled with cold, her lips turning blue. She bit her lip and did not respond.
Gu Huai'an noticed the fine mist on her eyelashes. Silently, he turned away and motioned her to get into the car.
