"Boom!"
Another thunderous roar!
"Eee—"
A living room window, previously shut tight, slowly opened.
The noise it made as it opened was akin to a beginner scraping on a hideous violin, the sound transitioning from shrill to low and sounding incredibly unsettling.
"Ah!!!"
An abrupt scream from a woman came from outside the window, and you and Ruan Yuling instantly turned your heads to look out.
"Clop... Clop... Clop..."
It was like the sound of walking on an old wooden floor in an empty corridor, echoing in the living room and reaching your ears as if it were approaching from afar, drawing nearer to you both, step by step.
Ruan Yuling, instinctively snuggled up to you, her hands naturally embracing your arm.
A flash of thunder and lightning streaked by, followed by a deafening boom.
"Boom!"
In an instant, it was as if a thunderstorm unfolded outside the window, with flashes of lightning and the incessant roar of thunder.
"What is that?"
