Jiaojiao, who was hiding at the door, looked at the photos on the camera and smiled proudly. He dared to dislike her pajamas. She must teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, the young and innocent Jiaojiao didn't know that one day in the future, she would be the one to be taught a lesson. Even though she regretted it by then, it was too late and the deal was already done. She could not escape after all.
Gu An seemed to be thinking about something. Hearing a strange sound, Gu An, who was extremely alert, quickly turned around and saw the little girl sneaking behind the door, revealing her cute little head.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Gu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked strangely.
"I……"
Jiaojiao didn't expect that she would be discovered. She was so simple-minded that she couldn't think of any words to evade. She quickly hid the camera in her clothes and walked out from behind the door.
"Crack!"
This time it was not the sound of a camera, but a white light like a waving sword, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night, followed by rumbling thunder, deafening, and then raindrops as big as soybeans fell one after another.
Jiaojiao, who was worried that An An would discover the photo, instantly turned pale when she heard the thunder, and her whole body shrank together. Compared to her previous guilt and nervousness, she was obviously scared now.
"Are you afraid of thunder?"
Gu An said in an almost affirmative tone, his beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and he jumped off the bed and came to Jiaojiao's side.
"I...I'm not...not afraid."
Jiaojiao raised her head and retorted unconvinced, but her delicate features twisted together and her trembling voice betrayed her.
Jiaojiao has always disliked rainy days, but what she really disliked was the sound of thunder. Every time, she lied that she hated the rain, got angry and went back to the room to sleep, but in fact she was hiding in bed with the quilt covered,
Trembling with fear.
But Jiaojiao never mentioned the fear of thunder to others, not even Murong Xincheng and Fu Shiqiu, because she didn't want them to worry about her, and she was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.
"I'll take you back to your room."
Gu An did not expose Jiaojiao's words. He hesitated, took the little girl's trembling right hand, and suggested softly.
Jiaojiao heard the voice and felt the warmth in her hands. She nodded slowly and lowered her head to look at the hands held by the two of them.
After getting the little girl's approval, Gu An pulled Jiaojiao towards Jiaojiao's room, patiently slowing down his pace.
"Don't worry, I won't leave until you fall asleep."
Jiaojiao's room was just a few steps away from Gu An's guest room. Seeing Jiaojiao's pitiful and helpless expression, Gu An thought for a while, helped her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt carefully.
"I'll just sit here, you can sleep peacefully."
After finishing the work, Gu An sat on the delicate computer chair and cast a reassuring look at the little girl.
"Okay, got it."
Knowing that her lie had been exposed, Jiaojiao, who had always been arrogant, did not offer any rebuttal this time. She agreed obediently and let the "beauty" cover her up with the quilt. Her little body could not stop shrinking due to fear, and she clenched her hands tightly.
Clutching the quilt tightly, every time her eyelids fell, the deafening thunder would wake her up immediately. Fear arose from her heart, and her sleepiness would completely dissipate.
She tried several times but still couldn't fall asleep.
