Inside the car, Ye Xingguang curled herself up, forcing herself to endure the roaring thunder above her. She repeated to herself over and over again, “it’s okay, it’s okay, the thunder will pass soon, I’m not scared!”

However, she couldn’t help but recall the memory of when she was six years old and her parents cruelly abandoned her in the deep sea.

She remembered wanting to reach the shore, swimming for two days and two nights without seeing land, only to be met with a great storm.

At her young age, it was the first time she realized how terrifying a storm at sea could be.

That night, the sea was full of raging waves and the thunder was loud. She had nowhere to hide, and as the downpour continued, she was unfortunately struck by lightning.

She didn’t know why she, who hadn’t committed any sins, had to suffer such a fate.

Every time since then, whenever there was loud thunder and striking lightning, she would reflexively think back to that terrifying night.

“Little girl, afraid of the thunder, huh? My daughter is afraid too, don’t worry, it won’t hit you.” The taxi driver gave a reassuring smile.

Ye Xingguang gripped her fingers tightly, nodding her head forcefully in an attempt to appear composed.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She checked and saw it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered the phone, “Hello, who is this?”

“Where have you run off to?” Ye Junqings voice came through the phone.

Anxiety that Ye Xingguang had just managed to calm welled up in her heart again. She feigned ignorance: “Who are you?” “Ye Junqing.” His voice was stern.

“Who is that? I don’t know such a person!”

Having said this, Ye Xingguang promptly hung up the call.

But as soon as she hung up, the phone rang again. When she realized it was the same number, she curtly disconnected again. Who would answer his call?

The phone rang for a third time relentlessly. She decided to ignore it, letting the ringtone disrupt the silence in the taxi and agitate her already frustrated heart.

Then it rang the fourth time…

Fifth time…

Sixth time…

The driver advised, “Young lady, did you have a fight with your boyfriend? In this heavy rain, he might be worried about you. That’s probably why he keeps calling. Take my advice and answer the call, just to let him know you’re safe.”

“He wouldn’t be worried about me.’

Ye Xingguangs voice was sour, but she heeded the driver’s advice anyway. When the phone rang for the seventh time, she answered. Before she could utter a word, Ye Junqing asked harshly, “Who gave you permission to hang up on me?”

Ye Xingguang bit her lip and remained silent, struggling to cope with the fear induced by the thunder above.

Her silence seemed to irk Ye Junqing, he said heavy-heartedly, “Speak! Why did you leave without saying a word?”

His words instantly triggered Ye Xingguangs anger. Was she supposed to stay in the booth and become the laughing stock of everyone?

“Didn’t you, Mr. Ye, tell me yourself to stay away from you, the farther the better, so as not to disrupt your life? I am a person who knows how to take a hint, so of course I will remember your words and leave quietly to a place where you can’t see me.”

She spoke with a hint of sarcasm, trying to ignore the feeling of being wronged that continuously surged up from her heart. After all, he had made it clear from the beginning that he accepted her only because he had no other choice and that they would separate after a year. There was no chance of falling in love over time.. Who was there to witness her grievance now? And who would care about it? Sometimes, she even despised herself!
