The clock had passed eleven o'clock, and the rain was still crackling against the windows. Tang Jianyu wiped his hands and said to Shi Jiaojiao, who was drinking ginger soup, "Drink slowly, don't burn yourself." As he spoke, he walked around the table and pointed to the gray door, "Remember?" This time I slept there, and I was all set. I, too, went to take a shower. Shi Jiaojiao was embarrassed to even raise her head, let alone confirm the door, but she definitely said "um", listening to Tang Jianyu's footsteps walking from the side, the bathroom where she had just taken a bath.

The summer night with heavy rain was very cool, and the wind with rain was even a little cold on the dry arms, so Shi Jiaojiao had to look at the street scene outside through the glass, and the moat in the distance. The silent river is like the deep thoughts of a wise man, embodied on a rainy night when everything is escaping, and diverges like a distant direction, and at the same time carries the observer's thoughts far away.

"What do you think? So fascinating. Tang Jianyu didn't know when he had taken a bath and came to the balcony to dry his clothes, and Shi Jiaojiao, who had come back to her senses, smelled the light smell of the bath liquid, and hurriedly retreated from the window and said, "It's just in a daze!" Waiting to say goodnight to you. Tang Jianyu hung up his clothes neatly and said, "I just wanted to ask why you haven't slept yet." Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, followed Tang Jianyu's footsteps, stopped at the door of the gray-white second bedroom, and said, "Then I'll sleep, good night." "Good night."

Although after the two were together, Shi Jiaojiao often appeared in Tang Jianyu's apartment, but it was the first time to stay overnight. After confirming that Tang Jianyu also went back to the room to rest, Shi Jiaojiao closed the door and quietly looked at the room. She remembered the snowy night when she was "taken in" by Tang Jianyu with her father in the winter of her freshman year.

And it was a long time since that stay, and it was in a hurry, Shi Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to what this bedroom was like. So much so that when she came again, even though the furnishings and even the supplies in the room had not changed, it still brought Shi Jiaojiao a novel feeling of experiencing it for the first time.

The pillowcase and mat are a set, the color is solemn, and the woven fine cool material is very soft to the touch. Shi Jiaojiao spread out the blanket folded on the corner of the bed, climbed to the head of the bed, did not fall asleep immediately, but left a night light, leaned on the head of the bed and prepared to read a book with her mobile phone for a while. The heavy curtains on the windows facing the street were tightly closed, but they still couldn't stop the lively sound of rain, and it had been raining for so long that there was no intention of stopping, and it seemed that there was a faint muffled sound, like thunder far away in the sky.

It was a little cold with her bare legs, Shi Jiaojiao covered it with a blanket first, thought about it and turned off the air conditioner, and tossed for a while before adjusting to a comfortable state. Just called up the book to be read, the door was suddenly knocked, Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly responded, put on her pants haphazardly, and went to open the door. Tang Jianyu stood at the door with mosquito coils, glanced at the turned off air conditioner and said, "Just in case." Shi Jiaojiao pouted, took it in her hand and asked, "Do you have any use?" ”

Tang Jianyu smiled, "Mosquitoes don't like me very much." Saying that, he rubbed the top of Shi Jiaojiao's head, "Don't fiddle with your phone, go to bed early, it's twelve o'clock soon!" "Got it!" Shi Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose and replied, "You are not allowed to work overtime secretly, go to sleep immediately!" Tang Jianyu agreed, took the handle, and helped Shi Jiaojiao close the door while saying "good night".

It was indeed planned to sleep immediately, as soon as Tang Jianyu left, Shi Jiaojiao turned off the night light at the head of the bed! I don't know if it's too noisy outside, or if I'm uneasy, at such a late time, such a comfortable bed, it makes a woman who is trying to sleep turn over and over, and she can't close her eyes no matter what! After forcibly closing her eyes for more than ten minutes, Shi Jiaojiao sighed as if surrendering to herself, and decided to read a book for a while.

The author of the book is a very experienced scholar, the story is simple and warm, the words are fresh and comfortable, even with a majestic historical background, it will moisturize things and quietly fascinating, it is a good book that is rich and effortless. Such easy-to-read text can relieve the pressure caused by high-intensity work, and Shi Jiaojiao will read a few pages as long as she is free.

The light-hearted good article obviously has an unexpected effect of calming the nerves, Shi Jiaojiao doesn't know when she fell asleep, if she hadn't been woken up by a loud noise, she wouldn't even know that she had fallen asleep! After the thunder, there was a trembling sound from the windows, and the sound of the rain had subsided a little. Shi Jiaojiao opened her eyes suddenly, just in time to see the instantaneous bright light of a lightning bolt, piercing the closed curtains, leaking a little in, the next thunder followed, the explosion of "Bang Lala" thunder, so close that it seemed to fall directly above the entire building.

Shi Jiaojiao searched for her phone in the dark, but found nothing, didn't know where it fell, maybe she fell out of bed. She gave up her phone and got up to touch the drawstring of the bedside lamp, but she couldn't find it, thanks to the glow-in-the-dark pendant at the end of the drawstring first. "Huh?" Shi Jiaojiao let go of her hand as soon as she held the pendant, and there was actually a thin thing pinned to it, which made her palm hurt slightly. She wanted to turn on the light to see what it was, and pulled the rope several times, only to find that the light didn't light up anymore.

"Is there a power outage?" Shi Jiaojiao muttered, let go of the thing at the end of the drawstring that felt like a hairpin, picked up the loose pants on the table and put them on randomly, and leaned barefoot into the slippers beside the bed, ready to go to the living room to find out the situation. The enclosed space is actually stuffy, and when the air is convection, you can immediately feel the temperature difference between the two sides. After a flash in the sky, Shi Jiaojiao pressed a switch nearby to confirm the conjecture of a power outage, which may have caused a short circuit in the power supply caused by a thunderstorm.

Less than ten seconds after Shi Jiaojiao entered the living room, Tang Jianyu's door opened immediately, and he asked Shi Jiaojiao next to the switch, "Are you awake too?" Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly said "um", "There was a thunder just now, it seemed that there was a power outage." Tang Jianyu walked up to Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Yes, the light went out suddenly, I heard your door ringing and came out to take a look, woke up scared, right?" Tang Jianyu said, patting the top of Shi Jiaojiao's head soothingly.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Shi Jiaojiao is not afraid of thunderstorms at all, and she even feels that the momentum of lightning running through the sky, the form of teeth and claws, and the dazzling light are combined, with the dark sky as the background, which is a breathtaking and magnificent beauty. When I was a child, three good friends encountered this kind of weather together, Shi Jiaojiao often played the role of a brave man, and even Chen Li, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, had to obey.

I don't know if it was the strange psychology of sleeping alone under one roof for the first time, or the hormonal factors that quietly changed when staying by Tang Jianyu's side, Shi Jiaojiao's reaction was very different from her usual style: when it sounded again outside the living room, it was comparable to the loud noise that woke her up, she was actually really frightened, trembled all over, screamed "ah", covered her ears, and got into Tang Jianyu's arms!

"Knock, knock, knock......" The man's heartbeat sounded strong and powerful, and it stood out even more in the quiet room after the thunder. Feeling that his body was trembling slightly, Tang Jianyu stroked her straight back again and again, and asked softly, "Are you frightened?" Shi Jiaojiao squeezed her eyes, she didn't know how to clean up the dangerous situation caused by this inexplicable abnormality.

She suddenly felt the man's chest rise and fall sharply, and it was Tang Jianyu who breathed a deep sigh.
