Chapter Thirty-Three: Rainy Night (Part Two)

  "What...what...what am I supposed to do..."

  Zhuang Yun saw that he was unreliable, and she couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in her heart. On the surface, however, her eyes began to glance at others, casting a charming and moving gaze at each of them, as if wanting to speak but hesitating.

  Xiao Fengxue seriously boiled water, ignoring what happened on the other side. She didn't have that much sympathy, and besides, she should take responsibility for her own mistakes.

  Qin Jie Li took out instant noodles and fast food porridge from her backpack, helped everyone open the packaging and prepared the seasonings. She felt Zhuang Yun's gaze, but only turned back to give her a helpless smile before continuing with what she was doing...

  But Emperor Leng's expression was even more unspeakable, his sharp and angular face as cold as ever, sitting by the fire pit, staring intently at Xiao Fengxue.

  Her pale face was tinged with a crimson flush, revealing a hint of charm, and her delicate red lips now looked even more alluring, leaving him momentarily stunned...

  Finally, only the gentle and steady class monitor Wu Wenjie spoke up, "That, Zhuang classmate, why don't you borrow my tent to sleep in tonight? I'll keep watch outside, it's no big deal."

  "Really? Thank you so much, your name is Wu Wenjie, right? I remember you were the class leader of Class B, and indeed a great person."

  Zhuang Yun was delighted as soon as she heard it, thanking him non-stop with her mouth, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes. Indeed, she still had a lot of charm.

  But Wu Wenjie, who has always been happy to help others, would give up his tent for whoever it was today.

  Xiao Fengxue couldn't help but glance at Wu Wenjie, this usually quiet boy, and was somewhat surprised that he would give up the tent.

  Wu Wenjie ignored everything else and sat under the lamp, painting on the drawing board in his hand, which was the scene of rushing through the forest today.

  He also pulled out paint, watercolors and a few sheets of rice paper from his backpack, he seemed to like painting.

  She watched him take out various props from his backpack, her dark eyes flashing as if she was looking at Wu Wenjie, and yet also seemed to see through him to a very distant place.

  "Monitor, you sleep in my tent tonight."

  She suddenly spoke up without warning.

  Wu Wenjie's movements paused for a moment, seemingly taken aback by her words.

  "No, no need, if you give me the tent, where will you sleep tonight?"

  "I can actually go without sleep, it's fine." She had gone three whole days without closing her eyes in the Amazon jungle before, what was one night, and besides, if her painting got wet he might be devastated.

  "But..."

  "Sleep in my tent tonight!"

  Di Liang had been silently watching their interaction, coldly ordering Wu Wenjie without any extra words, a single glance made him compromise.

  Just thinking about Xiao Fengxue's tent being slept in by a boy makes him want to kill, it sounds like they're sleeping in the same tent or something, if that's the case then he'd rather give his own to Wu Wenjie than let him sleep in Xiao Fengxue's...

  Di Liang Xun naturally had such thoughts, completely unaware of how strong his possessiveness was, and how much his behavior didn't conform to the norm, how childish it was.

  "Alright...alright." Wu Wenjie replied stiffly, the emperor's young master gave him his tent to sleep in? It was truly an unexpected honor.

  "It's cooler now, you can sleep in my tent, that's all."

  Xiao Fengxue made a decisive decision, picked up the instant noodles and started eating. Although she didn't understand why Emperor Liang was making such a fuss, she didn't think much of it either. After all, this guy would occasionally have brain seizures and make some astonishing moves from time to time.

  "Not necessary!"

  "Alright, let's eat first and talk later."

  She picked up a bowl of instant noodles in a disposable foam box with braised beef flavor and started eating, while others also took out their own instant noodles and began to eat.

  Thus, six young nobles were miserably munching on instant noodles in an environment where a storm was approaching...

  The wind is getting stronger and the sky is getting darker. The flames are being blown around by the wind, struggling to stay alive...

  Xiao Fengxue looked up at the sky that seemed to be falling, and her actions of eating instant noodles paused for a moment. The instant noodles in her mouth had become tasteless at some point, and a hint of confusion covered her clear eyes...

  It's going to rain again...

  She really dislikes rainy days...

  She was even more afraid that memories would suddenly surge up, causing unbearable pain that would never end...

  The misty air and the rain threads dancing in the sky always bring back to her mind that rainy night three years ago...

  Grey sky, empty eyes, black and white zebra crossing, cars coming and going at the crossroads, and... blood all over the world, like red paint spilled accidentally...

  Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder, the scorching temperature in the palm penetrated through the thin clothes into her skin, Xiao Fengxue abruptly pulled back from her thoughts, and then saw a slender hand in front of her, with a thin callus on the palm.

  "The instant noodles have gone cold."

  Di Liang's expression remained icy cold, his eyes slightly sunken.

  Her eyes were like those I saw in the corridor that day, equally elusive and fragile, as if they would disappear with just a slight touch...

  As soon as he spoke, Xiao Fengxue only then discovered that the instant noodles in his hand had somehow lost their temperature, just like ice, very cool...

  The numbness recurred, and I wanted to continue eating, but Emperor Liang snatched it away with a rough hand and threw it aside. Suddenly, a beautifully packaged box appeared before my eyes - a small box of cookies.

  Xiao Fengxue subconsciously took it over, and then heard Emperor Liang's pleasant voice scolding with a disgusted tone: "Idiot!"

  Dazedly biting on the cookie in her mouth, she only felt a inexplicable warmth flowing through her heart...

  The other four people don't know when they went back to their own tents to sleep. Zhuang Yun slept with Wu Wenjie, and Wu Wenjie slept with Di Liangxun.

  Next to the extinguished bonfire, only an empty tent and two people were left, along with a light bulb hanging from the tent, emitting soft and dim light, which was the only glimmer of dawn in the endless darkness...

  Fragile and small, yet illuminating the entire space.

  "I'm going to sleep, are you okay by yourself?" Xiao Fengxue asked after eating the last bite of cookie.

  Di Liang nodded slightly with a cold and hard expression, indicating he was fine.

  The cold night wind messed up the young man's black short hair, and the orange-yellow light reflected his handsome face. Although his expression was very cold, there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes...

  Xiao Fengxue looked at him like this, and in her heart, something seemed to be quietly growing...

  She suppressed the unnatural feeling in her heart, stood up and patted the mud off her clothes, then crawled into the tent, where the cold wind was instantly blocked out.

  Closing eyes, covering with quilt, entering light sleep.

  Her lips, like cherry blossoms, moved slightly and silently said a word of thanks.

  A lot of things have happened recently and I'm not in a good mental state.
