On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 79 Do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?

After enjoying a midnight snack, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing went out and found that it was drizzling outside.

"Spring is almost over, and it's still raining so much. We had a heavy downpour just two days ago, and it's raining again today."

A customer nearby complained and ran out with the briefcase on his head.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing looked at each other and smiled. They didn't pay much attention to the drizzle and walked into the rain together.

The drizzle did not bring the discomfort of heavy rain, but instead created a different kind of artistic conception.

Raindrops from the eaves fell to the ground and shattered into millions of stars.

When Chen Mo took out the key to open the door, Su Yuqing subconsciously reached out to wipe away the water droplets on his shoulders.

When their fingertips touched the warm side of the neck, both of them were startled.

Chen Mo suddenly turned around, his fingertips hovering half an inch in front of her eyes, wiping the rain off her face.

The girl instinctively closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings.

The warmth of his fingertips came through the water vapor, so gentle and warm.

The sensor lights in the corridor flickered, blending their shadows into an ambiguous ball.

Returning home, feeling the quietness in the room at night, the people standing so close to each other seemed to breathe faster.

They would look at each other confidently in public, but when they were alone late at night, they both had their own thoughts and were a little shy.

Chen Mo was the first to break the silence. The warm light from the entrance gilded his profile. "We just had a midnight snack. Let's watch some TV together before going to bed."

"Okay." Su Yuqing smiled and nodded.

After Chen Mo poured two glasses of lemon honey water, he returned to sit next to Su Yuqing.

As Su Yuqing held the glass and took sips, the sweetness of honey mixed with the fragrance of lemon melted between her teeth.

The blue light from the TV made her profile flicker, and today's lecture was being broadcast on TV.

"Last time we talked about the family murder case, the most crucial flaw was actually..."

Before she finished speaking, the soundtrack of a horror movie suddenly rose in pitch, and the blanket on Su Yuqing's knees slipped halfway, revealing her white toes curled up on the edge of the sofa.

As the review of the previous episode ended, the topic of this episode's rape, murder and dismemberment case began with a thinly coded photo of the corpse taken at the crime scene.

Seeing this scene, the girl's frightened cry was swallowed into her throat, and her fingertips unconsciously grabbed Chen Mo's sleeves.

The silk fabric wrinkled into a ball in her palm. She realized it belatedly and wanted to let go, but Chen Mo grabbed it and held it in his palm.

Chen Mo rubbed his thumb across her hot wrist and jokingly said, "Your pulse is beating faster than the murderer's murder weapon when someone discovered it."

Su Yuqing was about to complain, but the spring thunder outside the window startled her so much that she shrank half an inch into Chen Mo's arms.

The moment the citrus scent of the boy's shower gel hit her nose, her fear calmed down a little.

The remote control fell into the gap of the sofa. When Chen Mo moved sideways around Su Yuqing to pick it up, his breath swept across the cinnabar mole behind her ear, causing her to feel slightly itchy.

After retrieving the remote, Chen Mo smiled and gently patted her head, saying, "If you're scared, why not change the channel? Today's 'Today's Lecture' is replaying the dismemberment autopsy, which is really a bit creepy."

Su Yuqing looked up into his smiling eyes, feeling that she was being looked down upon. She shook her head stubbornly and said, "I'm not afraid!"

She said this, but her body honestly snuggled a little further into Chen Mo's arms.

Chen Mo's Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he grasped her restless little hand and pressed it against his heart. Feeling Chen Mo's steady and strong heartbeat, Su Yuqing felt a deep sense of security in her heart.

The warm yellow wall lamp cast two shadows obliquely on the sofa, blending them together. As Chen Mo adjusted his sitting posture, the strand of hair on Su Yuqing's head brushed lightly against his chin, causing a slightly itchy feeling.

In the documentary, the moment a close-up photo of the victim's headless body was shown, even with a thin layer of code, it still looked very creepy.

Su Yuqing suddenly grasped the hem of Chen Mo's school uniform, and her knuckles poked into the depression of his abdominal muscles through the cotton fabric.

Chen Mo groaned, and placed his palm on the back of her cold hand. Only then did he notice that her fingertips were trembling slightly. "Don't look at these."

He was just about to touch the remote control when a sudden lightning strike outside the window illuminated Su Yuqing's pale face clearly.

The moment Chen Mo turned off the TV with the remote control, thunder exploded on the balcony.

Su Yuqing threw herself into his arms and buried her head in his chest like an ostrich.

She seemed to be very afraid of thunder. No wonder she was so scared and helpless when she was left alone at home last Friday night.

It turned out that she was not afraid of being alone at home, but was afraid of being alone during a thunderstorm.

But last Friday, she didn't dare to get too close to Chen Mo, so she restrained herself.

But after two days of getting along, and with Chen Mo recalling their childhood connection, Su Yuqing now feels bolder to approach Chen Mo.

In fact, it is not just boys who are afraid of offending girls by being too presumptuous or intimate when interacting with them.

Girls treat boys the same way. Before confirming the relationship, they will also restrain the distance and degree of contact.

So even if Su Yuqing was afraid of thunder last Friday, she could only keep it in her heart and couldn't tell Chen Mo directly, but Chen Mo could still see that she was scared at the time.

He had been away from home for only about two hours, but Su Yuqing was sitting on the sofa, rubbing her feet anxiously. She was afraid of the thunder and worried that Chen Mo had not returned home yet.

If Chen Mo could go home, these two worries would be alleviated.

At this moment, Chen Mo finally clearly felt Su Yuqing's fear of thunder.

Looking at Su Yuqing who was curled up in his arms and trembling slightly, he didn't know why Su Yuqing was so afraid of thunder, but he thought it must be related to her childhood experiences.

Otherwise, a normal human being, even if afraid of thunder, would not be afraid to this extent.

This is beyond the normal limit of fear.

It was more like some horrible memory was awakened, making her uneasy and panic.

The hem of Su Yuqing's school uniform was rolled up, revealing half of her snow-white waistline.

Chen Mo pulled her clothes in place, his hand suspended in mid-air, and finally gently landed on the protruding ridge of her butterfly bone. He held her in his arms and gently comforted her.

The girl in his arms was like a frightened fawn, her damp hair still tinged with the aroma of chopped green onions from Xu Ji Wonton Noodles.

"Since you're so scared, do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?" Chen Mo wanted to make a joke to make Su Yuqing relax.

But he saw Su Yuqing raised her eyes and looked at him. Her trembling eyelashes were like ripples under the moon, and there was really a hint of expectation in her eyes.

But in the end she shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Some things are always something we look forward to but also feel a little nervous, shy and helpless.

What you think in your heart cannot be said casually.
