Both her sharp, shrill scream and the sound of the thunder cracked the silent night. Qian Tao was scared and squatted down. With both her hands protecting her head, she dared not even move another step.

Lightning continued to flash and to Qian Tao, it seemed so near, as if just beside her, and her fear deepened. The flashes of lightning were followed by the roaring of thunder and tonight, the sound of the thunder was scarier than usual. The impetuous rumbling of the thunder was violent to her ears.

“Qian Tao?”

In between the sounds of thunder, Qian Tao heard another voice as if her life saver was here.

It was Li Hengzhi!

He had come out from his room.

He was awakened by the roaring sound of the thunder but after a while, he heard Qian Tao’s screams and came out to have a look. When the lights were on, he saw Qian Tao crouching by the bathroom, trembling.

Qian Tao raised her head and saw Li Hengzhi standing at the door of his room. Her heart was still filled with fear and so, without thinking much, she dashed toward him.

Li Hengzhi was slightly startled and before he could react, Qian Tao came running toward him. She bumped into him, both hands wrapping around his waist, and nestled up against his chest.

He could clearly feel her trembling body.

Both Li Hengzhi’s hands were still dangling in mid-air and after a few seconds of hesitation, he placed his hands on her back, gently patting it to console her, “It’s just thunder.”

He suddenly felt it was funny.

Such a big girl now and she was still afraid of thunder?

With her kind of courage, she even dared to plot against him. He was not sure if she had been lucky or…

At that moment, Qian Tao’s mind was blank—she couldn’t think much. All she could do was to grab her life saver tightly, never to let go no matter what. Both her hands seized his shirt very tightly.

Suddenly, Li Hengzhi looked surprised.

He felt warm moisture on his shirt.

Was she crying?

Boom! The horrible sound of thunder exploded in the dark sky once more.

“Ah…” Her trembling became more intense and her uncontrollable tears poured out in a flood. Without realizing, she exerted herself and pushed Li Hengzhi, who was caught off guard, to the ground. Both of them fell onto the soft carpet.

“Sh*t…” Li Hengzhi felt a sudden pain and swore.

The swearing came not because Qian Tao was heavy but rather…

When they fell, Qian Tao’s knee landed on his private part. Although it was not that heavy, that feeling was beyond expression.

He couldn’t help but shout in a heavier tone, “Qian Tao! Get up!”

“No…” She choked on her sob. Both her hands were wrapped around his neck and her whole body was on his. “Help…”

That part of him which her body was pressing against, was heating up…

Li Hengzhi’s will was slowly disintegrating. He gnashed his teeth and warned, “Qian Tao, I’ll count to three. If you don’t get up, you won’t be able to return to your room!”

What was happening? He could have listened to her slowly but not in this position and manner!

He was a man, a very normal man! He was in a period of time when his lust was at its highest point, how could he allow her to repeatedly torture him like that?

After three counts, thunder was still rumbling and Qian Tao couldn’t hear what he said. She couldn’t even open her eyes.

Awful!

Li Hengzhi turned and both her hands were still wrapped around his neck like a koala, not letting go.

The next second, he swept her up into his arms and said with forbearance, “You asked for it!”
