391. Night of Thunder and Lightning
The night is getting darker.
Ink clouds roll.
The Bai family's villa fell into a short silence, and it was cold and windy outside, but Baili Lingwan inside the house no longer spoke. Bai Qi carefully looked at her side face, and suddenly found that she suddenly had something different from her previous ease. The smile that remained on her lips just now had completely disappeared.
Viewed from the side, Baili Lingwan's eyelashes are long and dense, as if she has outlined her eyes with eyeliner and deepened her eyeliner. At this point, her long curls of hair fall down her shoulders, obscuring the silhouette of the side part of her face. I saw only her straight nose and tightly pursed lips.
The sound of news on TV still echoed in the hall, but none of the three people present paid attention to the TV. Aunt Su stood aside, her head lowered, looking at the ground in front of her. Baili Linghuan was already blind, she could only listen to the news with her ears, and her mind didn't seem to be on the news. And Bai Qi, she sat sideways on the sofa and looked at Baili Linghuan into a daze.
Suddenly, a servant opened the door, poked his head in and looked at Bai Qi and said, "Miss, the eldest lady is back." ”
"Coming back?" The servant's voice successfully pulled Bai Qi's mind back, and she looked away from Baili Lingwan's gaze, stood up and walked towards the door.
The door was pushed open by the servant, and suddenly, the cold wind outside the door rushed into the warm room, and the wind swept over her white shoulders, bringing up her long black hair. She walked towards the wind and soon stood at the door. At the same time, Bai Lan, who was wearing a plush coat, had just entered.
"Sister Lan." Bai Qi shouted.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Bai Lan asked her with a smile as she took off her coat and handed it to the maid.
The door behind her was slowly closed by the servant, and the cold wind dissipated, and the remaining cold began to disappear little by little in the heated hall. Then she naturally took the white hand and walked towards the hall.
"Huh......" Bai Lan's gaze had just touched Baili Lingwan and Aunt Su in the hall, and she was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a muffled sound of "boom". There was thunder outside.
When the "booming" rolling thunder filled her ears, Bai Lan felt some tinnitus in her ears, and Bai Qi's hand held by her couldn't help but tremble. Her gaze immediately retracted. looked at the person in front of him worriedly, "Are you okay?" She smiled. It seemed that he wanted to ease Bai Qi's feelings, "It's just thunder, and it's going to pass soon." ”
"Boom"
The dull thunder continued to come from the outside like a drum beat that could not be dissipated. Bai Qi's face was a little pale, but she still raised a faint smile on her face, "I'm fine." It's just that when it thunders, I'm not mentally prepared at all......"
"It's okay." Bai Lan patted the back of her hand.
"Xiaoqi?" On the other side, Aunt Su had already helped Baili Lingwan towards them. Baili Lingwan heard Bai Lan's inquiry after the thunder. Naturally, I also know what happened to Bai Qi. It's a pity that she didn't know what was going on...... Only let Aunt Su take herself and look for Bai Qi.
"I'm here." Bai Qi took a few steps forward and held Baili Linghuan.
"What's wrong with you?" Baili Lingwan asked.
"It's fine." Bai shook her head, then she took a deep breath before continuing, "I'm scared by the thunder, it's not a glorious thing, Linghuan, don't talk about it everywhere." ”
Hearing this, Baili Lingwan breathed a sigh of relief. The lips that were pursed before also loosened out of helplessness, "It's ......"
"Linghuan, why haven't you slept? He also sat in the hall with Xiaoqi......"
Bai Lan smiled at Baili Linghuan. Although her gentle smile could not be seen by Baili Linghuan, Baili Lingwan could still feel the care and consideration from Bai Lan. To be honest, when she first came to the Bai family, Bai Lan's attitude made Baili Lingwan a little flattered. Such careless care and greetings, she has not experienced from her "family" for a long time.
However, in the Bai family, Bai Lan is not Bai Qi's real sister who is related by blood. The way they get along with each other makes Baili Lingwan envious.
"I ...... Can't sleep...... "Tonight, she answered the question again with this answer.
"Alright. Now go and rest. Remember to close the windows, the thunder is so big now. Maybe it's going to rain. Bai Lan told the two.
Bai Lan was in the hall, with a gentle smile on her face. watched Bai Qi and the two return to the second floor. It's just that when the figures of the two disappeared from her field of vision, the curvature of the corners of her mouth began to disappear. The soft and warm affection in his eyes was gradually covered with worry.
"Miss?"
The maid stood behind Bai Lan, and when she saw her standing still for a long time, she couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." Bai Lan came back to her senses and said to the servant, "You should go and rest early." ”
The sky was like ink, and the night soaked the heavens and the earth, swallowing up all the light and heat. The moon was wrapped in the dark night, and the stars were engulfed in rolling ink clouds. The flash of thunder flashed, and the deafening thunder shook people's hearts.
After Bai Qi took Baili Lingwan and took her back to the room, he walked to his room. Although she is not as afraid of thunder and lightning as she was in the past, the shadow of the thunderstorm night still remains in her heart and cannot be erased.
There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window directly opposite Bai Qi's room, and the cold wind and thunder and lightning outside are displayed in front of Bai Qi in the faint light and shadow.
"It's raining ......"
She muttered to herself as she looked out the window at the raindrops that were finally pouring down. Then she turned and walked to her door.
"Boom"
There was another loud bang, which hit the ground with the sound of rain.
The door and wall in front of Bai Qi's eyes were instantly white, and Bai's swaying vision made her a little dizzy. She staggered and grabbed the doorknob, but heard a "dang" sound, and the bracelet on her wrist hit the doorknob.
Wu, Bai Qi squatted down, his wrist with the word "An" bracelet slid down, and his palm tightly grasped the doorknob. She gasped for breath like a fish dying from lack of oxygen. Her other hand was pressed against her heart, and the pain from there almost pierced her heart.
The heart-rending pain made her dizzy, and her hands and feet almost lost strength and could not move. However, under the torture of pain, she bit her lip fiercely and swallowed a qiē cry into her throat.
There was a "boom", and a flash of lightning flashed outside the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the figure huddled in front of the door, her cheeks white and frightening—no longer delicate white, but almost pale. A fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and the temperature of her body began to pull away.
Bai Qi only felt that she was thrown into the cold water, the lack of oxygen made her feel a strange pain, her hands and feet seemed to be entangled by aquatic plants, unable to move, unable to struggle. (To be continued)
