Just as expected, just as Xia Yi was about to move the food from the kitchen into the kitchen, she saw a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder.
This was the first time she had seen lightning on a mountain. When she heard thunder, Xia Yi felt goosebumps all over her body.
The door was open. Every time it was struck by lightning, Xia Yi would unconsciously look towards the door.
Tang Mo Feng suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked towards the door.
Just as Xia Yi was guessing what Xiao Linmu wanted to do, she saw Xiao Linmu close the door.
When he returned, he shot a glance at Xia Yi, and said indifferently: "Eat."
There were still waves of rumbling coming from outside, but with the isolation of the door, it felt like they were in another world.
After a few thunderclaps, it began to rain.
The raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound.
Listening to the commotion outside, Xia Yi knew that the rain was not small.
It was rare to see such a heavy rain in spring.
After the meal, the rain gradually began to subside. It was still drizzling, and the sky was still dark.
The rain did not stop until nightfall. Under such circumstances, it was not suitable for them to go down the mountain.
Helpless, they could only spend the night on the mountain.
Fortunately, there was a house on the mountain that could hide from the wind and rain.
But... There's a leak in this house...
Xia Yi had originally planned to stay in Leng Qianjue and Mo Ru's room.
He pushed open the door and was shocked by the scene before him.
The entire ground was wet, as if it had been submerged.
Raising his head, he discovered that there was a long crack in the ceiling that almost covered the entire room.
Unfortunately for them, their bed was located right under the crack.
In other words, the initial downpour had completely rained down on their beds.
The blanket felt like it had been soaked in water, dripping wet as it flowed along the legs of the bed.
Xia Yi quietly left the room with Leng Qianjue and Mo Ruo Hua and closed the door to prevent the damp and cold from slipping in through the door.
With no other choice, Xia Yi could only return to the living room where she used to eat, and prepare to lie on the table for the night.
It was still drizzling outside, but the cold still managed to slip through the crack of the door.
The more it was midnight, the colder Xia Yi felt.
Xia Yi was extremely regretful at the moment. In order to make it convenient for her to dig bamboo shoots in the mountains, she had specially changed into a thinner set of clothes.
He couldn't sleep at all with his head on the hard table. He had to walk around the room to relieve the cold.
Just as he walked to Xiao Linmu's door, the door suddenly opened.
The light was too dim for Xia Yi to see the expression on Xiao Linmu's face.
He thought that he was the one pacing back and forth outside to the point that Xiao Linmu was unhappy. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Xiao Linmu say, "Come in."
"No …"
Just as he was about to speak the word "no", he heard Xiao Linmu ask coldly, "Are you planning to freeze to death outside? Or are you worried that I'm cheating on you? "Hmm?"
"Nope." Xia Yi denied that she was indeed not worried about Xiao Linmu's attitude towards her.
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Yi still followed Xiao Linmu into the room.
Xiao Linmu's bed was not small. There were two quilts laid across the bed, and he threw one of the quilts to Xia Yi. He then placed a pillow in the middle of the bed and said to Xia Yi: "Sleep well."
"Alright." Seeing Xiao Linmu's series of movements, Xia Yi was slightly relieved.
After wrapping himself in the blanket, the cold aura around him slowly dissipated, and Xia Yi's eyelids became heavy.
Closing her eyes, not much time had passed before Xia Yi fell into a deep sleep.
After a dreamless night, he opened his eyes once more and saw that the sky was already bright.
She stretched lazily and turned around, preparing to get up, but she found Xiao Linmu's face inches away from her own, looking at her with a face full of black lines.
Her brain exploded.
What was going on? What about the pillows lying between them?
Xia Yi suddenly sat up, and realized that the pillow had fallen to the ground. With the huge bed, Xiao Linmu had occupied a small corner.
Other than the blanket from before, most of Xiao Linmu's blanket was still wrapped around her body. Currently, Xiao Linmu was only covered with a small half of the blanket.
It was already very obvious …
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose! "Maybe it was too cold last night, so I went to sleep and stole your blanket …"
Right now, the only thing Xia Yi could do was apologize.
Xiao Linmu's face was still cold as he said: "Are you still not going to move?"
It was only then that Xia Yi realised that although she was sitting on the outside blocking him, Xiao Linmu could not get off the bed at all.
Xia Yi immediately jumped down from the bed and said: "I'll go prepare some food first."
After she finished speaking, Xia Yi left as if she was escaping.
Xia Yi did not notice that after she left, the corner of her lips curled up slightly.
Just as Xia Yi finished cooking the porridge, she heard a sound coming from outside the kitchen.
When she went out to look, she saw Leng Qianjue standing outside.
"Uncle Leng, why are you here?"
Leng Qianjue replied: "I'll take you down the mountain."
It rained the entire night last night, so Leng Qianjue went to Xia Yi's house early in the morning.
Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu were not at home, even Xia Yue was not at home.
Just as they were about to leave, Leng Qianjue heard Xia Yang's crying voice and found Xia Yang and Xia Yue at their home in Granny Liu.
After asking, he found out that Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu had left the mountain yesterday and had not come back yet.
It rained so heavily yesterday, that Granny Liu was worried about Xia Yi and her safety.
Leng Qianjue then went up the mountain.
He came straight to the hut after he went up the mountain. He knew that if Xia Yi and Xiao Linmu were still there, they would definitely stay.
Sure enough, before they reached the hut, they saw the smoke from the chimney.
The one who didn't have any of them went down the mountain.
When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Xiao Linmu suddenly stopped and grabbed onto Xia Yi's arm.
Xia Yi turned her head suspiciously, but realized that Xiao Linmu seemed to have something to say.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yi asked.
Xiao Linmu stared into Xia Yi's eyes and said: "I need to leave for a period of time."
"Leave?" Xia Yi was startled.
Two days ago, when she told Xiao Linmu to move away, Xiao Linmu had asked Xia Yang to speak up for him.
Why did he suddenly say that he was leaving now?
"Yes." Xiao Linmu nodded, "Tell Xia Yang for me."
"Sure." Xia Yi revealed a relaxed smile.
Only then did Xiao Linmu let go of his hand, let go of Xia Yi's arm, and turned around to the other direction.
only realized that Xiao Linmu had really left after his figure completely disappeared into the distance.
He should have been happy, but for some reason, an indescribable feeling of loss welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Linmu left just like that?
