Having just rushed to the second floor, Xie Yuyue immediately saw Du Yanming sleeping on the huge bed, his presence as significant as a mountain and impossible to ignore.
Out of fear, she disregarded the threats he had previously made and immediately rushed to the bedside while crying out:
"Brother Du~"
Before she could utter another word, she was flung to the other side of the bed by Du Yanming, who abruptly opened his eyes—
While Xie Yuyue lay awake downstairs, lost in her tumultuous thoughts, Du Yanming had gone upstairs, washed up, and went straight to bed!
Though the thunder was loud, he was not afraid of it, and unless he felt danger, he would fall asleep instantly.
Hearing Xie Yuyue’s shouts and the heavy footsteps, a sleepy Du Yanming instinctively flung her aside, with his elbow swiftly pressing against the girl’s throat!
"Ugh!" Xie Yuyue grunted in distress, her small hands striking the man’s robust body forcefully!
"Hmm," Du Yanming, slightly more awake, shook his head and upon seeing the young girl clearly, growled in a rough and displeased voice:
"Little girl, didn’t I tell you not to come upstairs? Seeking death?!"
With that, he tried not to overreact but annoyed, he quickly sat up, seeing Xie Yuyue holding her throat and coughing in discomfort, he muttered under his breath, "Serves you right!"
Du Yanming was really angry; he thought that after his warning earlier, the young girl would not foolishly come upstairs.
Who would have thought that this young girl would be so reckless!
Before Du Yanming could say anything else, another flash of lightning streaked outside the window followed immediately by a thunderous clap, and the young girl’s continuous screams of terror.
Screaming, she instinctively grabbed the blanket previously covering Du Yanming, wrapping her small body as she shouted: "You jerk! Ahhh~"
"..." Du Yanming, startled by the scream.
"Hey, are you afraid of thunder?" Du Yanming, with a headache, saw the young girl clutching the blanket, trembling in fear. He took two sips of water from the bedside, suppressing the annoyance in his heart as he asked.
In this world, are there really people afraid of thunder? Du Yanming looked at the young girl shaking like a sieve with a perplexed expression...
After the thunder, Xie Yuyue heard someone speaking and quickly reacted, dragging the blanket to Du Yanming’s front, she jumped forcefully onto him, clutching his neck with both arms, and crying out:
"Wuwu~~ I’m afraid of thunder, I want Brother Xiao Jiu, and mom too...I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have run away from home..."
Hearing this, Du Yanming was a bit surprised, but he could understand. Considering that the young girl was not yet an adult, and that he did not know her, and did not wish to invite unnecessary trouble, he did not chase her away. Keeping her for one night, considering she knew Master Guo, was better.
It was still better than letting a young girl wander outside, where danger could arise at any moment!
With this in mind, Du Yanming never thought to ask her name.
"Hey... You dare to run away from home with this timid behavior? So young, you couldn’t possibly be forced into an arranged marriage like me, could you?" Du Yanming, with the young girl lying on his chest, frowned in shock.
Although Du Yanming had no special thoughts, the young girl had no idea that her chest was currently pressing against his... And then, he realized, the young girl probably wasn’t wearing a bra!
Such an obvious sensation, he couldn’t help but notice.
