Chapter 14 Escaped Lightning

The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and then lightning and thunder began, and a strong wind gradually blew, beating the windows of the house non-stop.

Zhang Zihan was working in the hall with a laptop, while Bai Xi stood at the door, as if waiting for the heavy rain to come. The weather reminded her of the night of the assassination.

"It's going to rain heavily outside, don't go out." Zhang Zihan looked at Bai Xi standing at the door from time to time and warned her, fearing that she would be too hot-headed to rush out.

Before the words could be heard, it started to rain heavily, the thunder became even more deafening, and the lightning seemed to split the sky in half, which was terrifying.

Bai Xi took advantage of Zhang Zihan not paying attention and ran outside. She imagined that she might be able to go back if she was hit by lightning again just like what happened that night.

She ran desperately in the direction of the lightning, but the lightning seemed to have its own consciousness and insisted on avoiding her. You chase me and run as far away as possible.

"Master, the lady ran outside without an umbrella." A maid hurried in to report.

What Zhang Zihan was worried about happened, and he ran out without hesitation without holding an umbrella.

This villa area is really big. In this violent storm, he would lose his way. How could he find it? He shouted her name in a hoarse voice, "Bai Xi."

But the sound of rain completely covered his voice. He didn't know which direction Bai Xi ran, and now he felt a little confused as he looked around.

He was running in the heavy rain, and it was raining everywhere, "Bai Xi." Even if he saw her or not, he still called her name vigorously.

When he was tired from running, he stopped to rest in the rain. He was soaked all over and his head seemed a little heavy, but he still insisted on looking for Bai Xi. He was really afraid that something would happen to her.

He looked up and found that something was wrong with the lightning in the sky. It seemed to be running away from something. Instead of the unpredictable trajectory before, why was it flashing so regularly now?

So he ran in that direction, maybe he would find something new there.

Bai Xi stood in the rain, facing the lightning that escaped her. She was really speechless. It was the first time she had seen lightning that escaped her. "Let me go back." She shouted to the sky. At this time, "Boom"

' With a sound, the sky seemed to be responding to her: Don't even think about it.

Zhang Zihan's head hurt as he ran. In his confusion, he saw Bai Xi looking at the sky, "Bai Xi." He shouted. When Bai Xi turned around, his vision went dark and he fainted on the ground.

"Master, Master?..." Butler Tang stood beside Zhang Zihan's bed, bending over and calling him worriedly.

"Scream, scream, it's so noisy." Zhang Zihan was lying on the bed, his eyes had not yet opened, his brows were furrowed and he was very dissatisfied with Butler Tang.

"Master, how do you feel now?" Zhang Zihan fell ill when he was exposed to the rain. Butler Tang was very worried now.

Zhang Zihan opened his eyes, his head still hurt a little. He looked at the housekeeper beside him with a look of disgust on his face, "Why am I lying here? Aren't I looking for Bai Xi outside? Where is Bai Xi?"

"Master, you fainted in the rain. It was the young lady who carried you back."

The wind and rain were so raging at that time, and Bai Xi was so thin, how could she have the strength to carry herself back? He felt ashamed when he thought about it, and actually fainted from the rain.

He covered his head with the quilt and said, "Get out."

"Then I'll put the medicine here and you can take it later." Butler Tang arranged the medicine and teacups on the bedside and was walking to the door.

"Wait, where is the lady?" He called to Butler Tang.

"The lady is in the room."

"oh!"

Butler Tang closed the door gently after going out, and Bai Xi just walked over, "Miss, the young master is awake."

Bai Xi nodded. Her eyes now were not as sharp and murderous as before, but more gentle.

She opened the door and went in. Zhang Zihan, who was covering his head with a quilt, shouted angrily: "Don't bother me."

She went over and pulled off the quilt, looking down at Zhang Zihan who was curled up, "What are you doing?" When she learned that Bai Xi was carrying him back in the heavy rain, she already felt ashamed. He thought it was Butler Tang who came here again, so he

Thinking of scolding him again, he turned his head away. Bai Xi was standing in front of him, and he felt even more ashamed.

"What are you doing here? Go back and rest." Zhang Zihan's ears were red, maybe because of a fever.

"Thank you." She knew that he chased her out because he was worried about her and became sick.

When hearing her thanks, Zhang Zihan was surprised and said: "Thank you for what, I'm your brother." Although there was no expression on his face, he was already happy inside.

He sat up and said, "Come and sit down." He patted the edge of the bed, and Bai Xi sat down next to him obediently. "Why are you running out? Don't you know it's dangerous to run out like this?"

She lowered her head and did not look at him.

"Can you tell me something?"

She thought for a while and said: "When I was sent here, it was also in this kind of weather. During a duel with the guards, I woke up after being struck by lightning and appeared here."

"So you just want to go back in the same way?"

Bai Xi nodded and stared at the floor.

"Hahahahahaha." Zhang Zihan laughed wildly after hearing this, "Are you stupid? It's good to be able to go back, but what if you can't go back? What if you get electrocuted? Have you ever thought about this problem?" A second ago?

He was still laughing and suddenly turned fierce at her.

Throughout the whole process, Bai Xi neither dared to speak nor look at him, and let him speak.

"Hahahahahahahahaha" Zhang Zihan suddenly laughed again, "You are really good, even lightning is hiding from you, the only one who is more powerful is you!!!" I don't know whether he was praising or mocking, he was laughing so hard that his eyes were filled with laughter.

There are tears.

"Don't be so messy next time, you know?" Zhang Zihan spoke in a gentle tone and put his hand on her head.

Bai Xi, who had been silent all the time, had wet eyes with tears, lowered his head and was sobbing. The aggrievedness, discomfort and longing for everyone during this period could not help but flow out, and tears flowed down his face like a fountain.

stop.

Her crying frightened Zhang Zihan. He was completely at a loss, "What's going on? I, I don't mean to blame you."

She shook her head vigorously, "No."

The pressure and harm she has endured since she was a child are several times that of her peers. She does not know who her parents are or her name. She has been bullied by other children since she was a child. When she fought back, she was chased and beaten by her parents.

, she didn’t know what family affection was, or even what emotion was, and she often lived a life of hunger and cold without a meal.

Until he met his brother Bai Ye, he took her in and cooked a table of delicious food for her. She cried that day, howling loudly, crying out all the hurt and grievances she had suffered. She was five years old that year.

age.

Bai Ye gave her a surname and a given name, and also gave her food, clothing, and family affection. He loved Bai Xi very much and treated her like a relative. He taught her to read, read, and practice martial arts for self-defense. Later, he met Han Ling, and later met Mr. Li.

, that period was her happiest day.

Until Bai Ye was killed by the court for her, she did not cry because her brother was not around and she did not dare to cry. After that, she gradually hid her heart and no longer lived as carefree as Bai Ye was by her side.

After a few years, she cried again, crying like a child, taking off her armor in front of Zhang Zihan, completely showing her truest self.

"I'm sorry." Bai Xi recalled her attitude towards him during this period and apologized to him full of guilt.

"Idiot, why are you apologizing? I'm your brother!!" Zhang Zihan probably never expected that he would be so gentle and tolerant to others. "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, be good." He seemed to be coaxing.

He coaxed her like a child and used tissues to wipe her tears.

"Promise me that you won't do such dangerous things again in the future. Everything is destined and everything has a fate. The fact that you are here must be God's special arrangement for you."

"Yes!" Bai Xi choked and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zihan turned his head to look at the sister who was lowering her head and crying. She couldn't help but smile and said, "So you are still crying? I was also worried about whether you had no feelings. It seems that my worries were unnecessary."

Although he was joking, he was still considerate when he should be considerate. He gently held her hair: "Okay, don't cry anymore. When God wants you to go back, you can't stay no matter what. If he doesn't want you to go back, you can't."

When you go back, no matter how many ways you try, it will be in vain, so live for me, live a wonderful life, and live in this era without any regrets."

"Hmm!!" She remembered what Zhang Zihan said in her heart, "I used to be afraid that if I stayed with you for a long time, I would have feelings for you. I was afraid that if I suddenly go back one day, it would only add too much emotion to myself and affect my work."

She was trying, trying to open up to him.

"Silly boy, who knows what will happen in the future, right? The most important thing for us is to live in the present."

"I, I, I don't know how to take the first step." Bai Xi looked at him shyly for a while, then lowered his head.

Zhang Zihan looked at her expression and thought it was so cute. He was amused by her and asked, "Try to talk to the people around you more and keep smiling?"

"But there is no common discourse." Bai Xi naturally knows her shortcomings. She is not from this era. She doesn't know what everyone can talk about, and she doesn't know what topics modern people usually talk about.

"How did you chat with your companions before?"

She shook her head, "Do you believe it? I have never seen my companion's true face, and my companion has never seen my true face."

He looked at her dubiously, could it be such a magical thing? The partners who worked together didn't know each other's appearance.

"We wear night clothes all day long and only take them off when we go to sleep."

Zhang Zihan remembered that when he first saw her, she was indeed wrapped up tightly, and then he believed her words, "Then when you don't wear night clothes, you wouldn't know each other when you pass each other outside?"

"Well, the organization protects our privacy very well. They are afraid that our personal information will be leaked, or that there will be rebellion."

"Your organization is very thoughtful. Unlike now, there is no so-called privacy for our personal information." Zhang Zihan felt ridiculous thinking about it, "Then you don't have anyone to chat with?"

"My companions in the organization usually talk about topics like martial arts training."

Although the conversation with her like this was about ordinary topics, nothing special, he could feel from her words that she was actually a very interesting girl. Maybe life had suppressed her, "Then your brother will die."

How did you live your life after that?"

Bai Xi was silent for a while, "After that, the leader and Mr. Li arranged for me to live in the backyard of the organization. They really cared about me and treated me like a family member. However, after my brother passed away, I started to hide myself.

"

"Who is that leader and Mr. Li?"
