Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

The gloomy sky made the room dark and depressing.

Lin Beichen was lying comfortably on the soft bed. He slept particularly soundly. He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.

However, the only drawback was that since some time in the middle of the night, something had been pressing on half of his body.

But strangely, this weight not only did not make him feel uncomfortable, but instead gave him an indescribable sense of comfort. So, he did not force himself to wake up.

After all, Lin Beichen was very confident in his perception ability. He would be able to detect any danger or hostility approaching immediately. But at this moment, he did not sense any hostility or danger.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Lin Beichen only felt that the blood circulation in his hands was blocked due to the pressure, and they were numb as if they were about to cramp.

He opened his eyes blearily.

When he opened his eyes, his hair stood on end and his heart began to beat violently uncontrollably.

In front of him was a little face as delicate as a porcelain doll, who was now sleeping soundly with her head resting on his arm with a look of comfort.

Who else could this person be but Emily?

Lin Beichen subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out.

But as soon as he exerted a little force, Emily, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to sense it and frowned slightly, and it looked like she was about to wake up.

Lin Beichen was so frightened that he stopped moving immediately, and lay flat on the bed obediently, closing his eyes and pretending to be still asleep.

What happened yesterday?
How did Emily end up sleeping with me?

He remembered that he just wanted to rest in bed, so how could he fall asleep without knowing why...

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Beichen began to replay what happened yesterday in his mind.

Seeing that Emily did not wake up because of his moving his arm just now, Lin Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully raised his arm, intending to pull his hand out from under Emily's white neck.

But what Lin Beichen never expected was that before he started to act, Emily took action first.

She suddenly turned sideways, and as she turned over, her white arm naturally swung around Lin Beichen's neck, and she held him tightly.

Lin Beichen felt his scalp tingling and he kept wondering how he was going to get out of this situation.

As he thought about it, Lin Beichen felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. He became sleepy and actually fell into another nap in a daze.

Not long after, Emily woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt something was wrong, as if she was holding someone in her arms.

In an instant, her delicate face turned red, just like the sunset in the sky.

However, she seemed to have thought of something, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible arc, and then she remained motionless, choosing to continue pretending to sleep.

After a while, Lin Beichen was also awakened by the urge to urinate.

He turned his head and found that Emily was still sleeping next to him. He suddenly felt conflicted and wanted to turn over and stand up.

But he was also worried that Emily would wake up and ask him why they slept in each other's arms. How would he explain it then?

Soon, Lin Beichen felt like he could no longer hold it in.

Forget it, never mind. I’ll go to the toilet first. If I keep holding it in, I’ll definitely get sick, which will be even more embarrassing.

So, with a nervous mood, he slowly raised his arm.

However, he never expected that Emily was not asleep at all.

Just as Lin Beichen raised his arm, Emily suddenly opened her eyes.

When their eyes met, Lin Beichen's look was full of embarrassment.

Emily looked at him with confusion, but if you looked closely, you could see a sly smile in her eyes.

"I want to go to the bathroom." Lin Beichen took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere. In fact, he really couldn't help it.

After saying that, he ignored Emily's half-smile and half-smile, and pulled his hand out completely, then hurriedly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Beichen washed his face, but still found it hard to believe that he and Emily had developed to this point.

When he returned to the room, he saw Emily still sitting on the bed, looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lin Beichen decided to just let the matter go and pretend nothing had happened.

After all, nothing substantial happened yesterday.

"Let's go to the Northern Lion Mercenary Group." Lin Beichen tried his best to make his voice sound as calm as water.

Emily turned her head and looked at him, with a hint of coquettishness and resentment in her eyes.

Lin Beichen quickly turned his head away and pretended not to see it.

Afterwards, the two had breakfast and went to a nearby gas station to fill up their gas tanks. Emily then drove out of Mo City and headed towards their destination - the Northern Lion Mercenary Group.

Along the way, Emily would glance at Lin Beichen in the co-pilot seat from time to time to see what he was doing.

However, when Emily glanced sideways, she saw Lin Beichen sitting steadily in the co-pilot seat with his eyes closed, looking relaxed and contented, as if he was conserving his energy.

Seeing this, Emily suddenly felt a surge of anger, mixed with a bit of loss.

Humph, I didn’t expect that this guy would choose to escape when faced with something related to him and not take it to heart at all.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but say in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, you slept very well last night."

"Hmm." Lin Beichen hummed softly from his nose as a response.

Emily was so angry that she gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on this innocent steering wheel.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't find something to vent her anger, she might not be able to control herself and attack Lin Beichen.

Of course, she couldn't win by physical force, so the steering wheel became her only choice as a "punching bag".

If the steering wheel had thoughts, it would definitely be complaining in its heart: "Who did I offend? I didn't offend you, why are you taking it out on me?"

"Oh, since you slept so comfortably, but I see that you look quite tired now, and you are still resting with your eyes closed." Emily continued sourly.

Lin Beichen is not a fool. When he heard Emily's words, how could he not know that she was angry?

He thought that whether for the sake of his friendship with Emily or for the smooth progress of the mission, he had to comfort her.

After all, if she got angry and didn't take me to the Northern Lion Mercenaries, it would be a big trouble.

So, he picked out some nice words and said, "It's mainly because you are a good driver, Emily, and you drive very steadily, which makes me feel very comfortable in the car. That's why I unconsciously want to take a rest."

Emily rolled her eyes at Lin Beichen and muttered to herself: This idiot can't even say something nice.

"I think you are trying to beat around the bush and say that I drive slowly, huh!" Emily said angrily.

Lin Beichen felt wronged in his heart, he really didn't think that way.

However, after Emily's reminder, he subconsciously paid attention to the speed of the car and found that it was indeed not fast.

But in this situation, he naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to say it out loud, otherwise he would be too ignorant of the ways of the world. When things developed to this point, Lin Beichen didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only choose to remain silent.

After all, sometimes when you don’t know what to say, it’s better to keep your mouth shut to avoid saying the wrong thing and making the situation worse.

It seems that the saying "silence is golden" still makes sense.

When Emily saw that Lin Beichen was silent again, she suddenly felt as powerless as if she was punching cotton, and she felt angry and annoyed.

She thought about it and decided to make things clear to Lin Beichen.

Emily blinked her eyes, pouted her lips and said, "Don't think I will just let go of what happened in the hotel."

"You know exactly what you did to me."

Lin Beichen just felt a headache. It seemed that he couldn't avoid this matter after all.

"What did I do?"

"I didn't do anything. You were the one who kept moving. OK?"

Lin Beichen hurriedly pushed the responsibility away. Even if he really did have some responsibility, he would never take the main responsibility.

"You...you took advantage of me and you still don't admit it. You are so shameless!"

Emily angrily stuck out her pink tongue at Lin Beichen and said coquettishly.

Lin Beichen knew that even if he was only slightly responsible for this matter, Emily was the one who suffered more. Sometimes, this world is not fair to girls.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Then tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

"How about I take you to the casino again and let you have fun?"

As soon as Emily heard the word "casino", the joy she felt when she won money yesterday instantly flooded into her heart, and she almost nodded and agreed subconsciously.

However, she quickly came to her senses and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Because what she wanted in her heart was much more than just this little money, she wanted Lin Beichen as a person.

"You are responsible for me!"

"My mother said that if a man sleeps with me, he has to stay with me all the time."

Hearing this, Lin Beichen was a little amused and thought: Who said that foreign girls are open-minded? Stand up, I promise not to beat you to death.

"What else did your mother say?" Lin Beichen neither agreed nor refused, but cleverly changed the subject.

After all, it's not right to respond to such a question, nor is it right to ignore it, so it's safer to change the subject.

Emily suddenly felt a little shy and said delicately, "My mom also said that if you meet a man you like, you must seize the opportunity and not let him run away."

As she spoke, she would secretly glance at Lin Beichen from time to time.

At this point, even if Lin Beichen was a blockhead, he should understand that Emily liked him.

However, he was still thinking about the mission and wanted to clear out and reorganize the forces in the entire Golden Triangle. Before that, he really had no time to think about these romantic matters.

He faced many things alone, even if he was injured or in danger, he was not afraid, but his teammates were not like that. This was also the reason why he did not bring Zhao Ligeng and others to deal with the Northern Lion Mercenaries.

Too many people may not only fail to help, but may also cause greater losses.

A man like him can go wherever he wants and run whenever he wants, without any scruples.

"Then your mother is quite reasonable." Lin Beichen said slowly.

"Yes, my mother can tell you a lot of truths." Emily was unknowingly led off the topic by Lin Beichen.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen felt relieved and continued to talk to Emily about her mother.

This was better than talking about all the awkward stuff between him and Emily.

As he was talking, Lin Beichen seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "Is your mother Chinese?"

"Hey, how did you know that?"

Emily asked with a puzzled look on her face. She remembered that she had never mentioned this to Lin Beichen.

"Guessed." Lin Beichen responded in a flat tone.

This time he really guessed based on his intuition, not any conclusion drawn from careful reasoning.

The main reason was that he saw that Emily was quite conservative, and her mother loved to preach, and in many ways she was very similar to most Chinese parents, so he blurted it out subconsciously.

"I understand this. My mom told me that I should trust my sixth sense, which is what I feel intuitively." Emily yawned and said. Although she slept well last night, she woke up too early.

"Are you sleepy?"

"How about I drive for a while?"

Lin Beichen took the initiative to suggest. He was thinking that if Emily fell asleep, she would not mention what happened in the hotel last night to him. After a long time, she might forget about it.

Hehe, I am such a clever kid.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart.

"Do you know how to get to the North Lion Mercenary Corps base?" Emily asked a key question. After all, she did feel a little tired at the moment, having driven for two hours straight.

"I see you're driving along this road, so I'll just follow you."

Lin Beichen thought about it for a while and expressed his idea, "If we encounter a fork in the road, I can just call you again."

He carefully recalled the way to the Northern Lion Mercenary Corps base. From their current location, there was indeed a long straight road ahead.

After hearing this, Emily nodded and said, "Yes, there is about an hour of straight road ahead. Just turn right at the next fork in the road."

"I'll tell you clearly in advance, so that even if I don't call you, you will know how to leave."

After saying that, Emily stopped the car and exchanged seats with Lin Beichen.

Emily knew clearly that she couldn't drive while tired, otherwise if she drove the car into the ditch again, she would probably develop a psychological trauma about driving.

After a while, Emily fell into a deep sleep beside him.

No one was chatting with Lin Beichen at the moment, and he suddenly felt extremely bored.

People are like this sometimes, often only seeing the good side of things.

Out of boredom, Lin Beichen gradually increased the speed of the car.

His reaction speed is not as fast as Emily's, who can respond quickly to emergencies.

Fortunately, it has a system scanning function, so even if it drives faster, it is unlikely to get into trouble.

The car was speeding on the road, and Lin Beichen's thoughts drifted to what Emily had told him before about the Northern Lion Mercenary Group. (End of this chapter)
