When Ye Linlang heard Jiang Qiranâs words, her body suddenly trembled.
She bit the corner of her lips, her voice hoarse.
âGet engaged after graduating from high school? Will your parents agree?â
Even if she and Jiang Qiran didnât belong to the same social class, even if they didnât talk about their family background, Jiang Qiran himself was still much more outstanding than her.
It wasnât that she didnât want to stay with Jiang Qiran for a long time and grow old together. However, Ye Linlang understood how big the gap between her and Jiang Qiran was. It was even harder to bridge than a natural chasm.
â¦
Jiang Qiran combed Ye Linlangâs hair. When he saw the girl sitting on the chair, he suddenly smiled.
âTomorrow, weâll go out for dinner with my parents. Wouldnât it be very simple for you to know their attitude?â
Jiang Qiran said as he combed Ye Linlangâs hair. Ye Linlang had very good hair. When he held it in his hand, it had a beautiful silk-like texture.
Jiang Qiran suddenly thought of a poem. The knot is husband and wife, the love between knows no doubt.
The future was still so far away, but Jiang Qiran couldnât help but think of the day when he and Ye Linlang would be officially engaged in the future.
He could tell that Ye Linlang was not a person who felt safe.
But he wanted to give Ye Linlang a sense of security.
Hearing Jiang Qiran mention the matter of having dinner tomorrow, Ye Linlang became even more nervous!
Other people celebrated their birthdays with their parents, but she was probably the only one who was so strange. She was actually going to celebrate her birthday with her boyfriendâs parentsâ¦
Why did she feel that it was like meeting her in-laws?
Ye Linlang bit the corner of her lips again and softly called Jiang Qiranâs name.
âQiran⦠do you think your parents will like me? I always feel that your parents are very powerful people. Iâm not from the same world as them.â
She was a country bumpkin. She had no style and temperament. Ye Linlang was really afraid that Jiang Qiranâs parents would not like her.
They were called Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, right?
Ye Linlang thought about these two names in her mind. For some reason, the relevant encyclopedias that she had searched for these two people appeared in her mind.
Their background were really scary.
â¦
Just as Jiang Qiran was about to comfort Ye Linlang, she suddenly heard a blinding light coming from outside the window!
Jiang Qiran and Ye Linlang were both stunned.
Was that lightning?
Then, the rumbling thunder came from the dark sky. Each sound was louder than the last, as if it was firecrackers in oneâs ear.
â¦
Logically speaking, there should be very little thunder in autumn. Why was it like this?
Ye Linlang was actually a little afraid of thunder.
Her body trembled, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Jiang Qiranâs clothes.
According to the Song familyâs Granny, on the day she was sent to the small desolate village, there was a huge thunderstorm that night. She sobbed non-stop, as if she had been afraid of the sound of thunder since that day.
Moreover, every night during the thunderstorm, she was afraid of falling asleep alone, so she insisted on dragging the Song familyâs Granny to sleep with her. Even after growing up, this habit had not changed.
Granny Song had also teased her about this, but after thinking about it, perhaps it was because she had been abandoned during the thunderstorm, Ye Linlang subconsciously wanted to grab onto someone that she could grab onto tightly and not let go.
â¦
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlangâs faintly trembling body, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.
âLinlang, are you afraid of thunder?â
It was normal for children to be afraid of such things, but they were both high school students.
Ye Linlangâs eyes were slightly red. She grabbed Jiang Qiranâs sleeve and her voice was slightly trembling.
âCan⦠can I sleep with you tonight?â
Jiang Qiran was stunned when he heard that.
âThatâs not a very good ideaâ¦â
â¦
The girl was like a kitten, trembling as she grabbed his sleeve,
âIs it okay?â
Ye Linlangâs delicate and pretty face was lifted from the chair. Her eyelashes were slightly trembling, and her lips were slightly trembling. It could easily evoke the tenderness in peopleâs hearts.
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlangâs expression, he did not know why he felt a little heartache.
He sighed and reached out to stroke Ye Linlangâs hair.
âThank you for trusting me so much, but promise me that you wonât test anyone of the opposite sex like this in the future.â
Ye Linlang fanned her long eyelashes and sniffed as if she had finally calmed down a little. She cast a sidelong glance at Jiang Qiran.
âItâs not like I have a boyfriend other than you. I donât even have a male friendâ¦â
When Jiang Qiran heard Ye Linlangâs words, he was very pleased, and the corners of his lips unconsciously deepened.
â¦
It was already midnight, and it was almost twelve oâclock. Therefore, he and Ye Linlang quickly washed up and slept together in Jiang Qiranâs master bedroom.
Jiang Qiranâs room was the same as him. It was very simple and neat. Even the decoration was black, white, and gray. There were no decorations.
Ye Linlang carried a pillow from her usual guest room. She wanted to go back and take the quilt, but Jiang Qiran sat on the bed and suddenly waved at her.
âCome up and sleep.â
Out of the blue, Ye Linlang forgot to take another quilt. She wore a very conservative nightgown and slowly climbed onto the bed.
In fact, she was still embarrassed.
This was Jiang Qiranâs room, Jiang Qiranâs bed. The quilt that Jiang Qiran seemed to have not lay down on yet seemed to already carry his scent.
After all, the bed was very big. In order to keep a distance from Jiang Qiran, Ye Linlang deliberately stayed far away from him.
Jiang Qiran did not see through Ye Linlangâs little trick.
He smiled and glanced at Ye Linlang.
âGood night.â
After Ye Linlang softly acknowledged it, Jiang Qiran turned off the wall lamp.
It was completely silent. There was no moonlight, only pitch black.
She thought that the night would pass peacefully. Suddenly, a bright white light flashed through the window again!
After the lightning, there was an intense and deafening thunder!
The darkness magnified the fear. Because she could not see, it was as if her other senses had become sharper.
Ye Linlangâs heart jumped heavily, and she almost sat up.
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang like this, he sighed in his heart. Just as Ye Linlang was frightened, he reached out and grabbed Ye Linlangâs waist, pulling her into his arms.
Compared to Jiang Qiran, who was tall and had long legs, Ye Linlangâs curled up appearance was simply like a small ball.
âGo to sleep, Iâm here. Donât be afraid.â
In the darkness, Ye Linlangâs eyes flashed. Her body leaned against Jiang Qiranâs long and strong arm. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt at ease.
âOkay, good night.â
â¦
Thunder still came in the middle of the night.
However, with Jiang Qiranâs protection, Ye Linlang seemed to have found a peaceful world.
Gradually, she really fell asleep.
Only Jiang Qiran couldnât sleep at night. After all, he was still young and vigorous, and he was holding the girl he liked in his arms. His breathing was full of Ye Linlangâs breath, and he couldnât help but hold Ye Linlang tighter.
