When Ye Linlang heard Jiang Qiran's words, her body trembled suddenly.
She bit the corner of her lip, her voice hoarse.
"Getting engaged right after high school? Will your parents agree?"
Even if we don't talk about the fact that she and Jiang Qiran are not a good match, even if we leave aside their family backgrounds, Jiang Qiran himself is much better than her.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to be with Jiang Qiran for a long time and grow old together, but Ye Linlang understands how big the gap between her and Jiang Qiran is, which is even more difficult to overcome than a natural chasm.
…
Jiang Qiran was combing Ye Linlang's hair. Seeing the girl fidgeting on the chair, he suddenly smiled.
"I'm going out to dinner with my parents tomorrow. You want to know their attitude. Isn't it simple?"
Jiang Qiran was combing Ye Linlang's hair as he spoke. Ye Linlang's hair was of very good quality. When he held it in his hand, it felt as fine as silk.
Jiang Qiran suddenly remembered a line of poetry: Married as husband and wife, they love each other without a doubt.
Although the future was still so far away, Jiang Qiran couldn't help but imagine the day when he and Ye Linlang would officially get engaged.
He could see that Ye Linlang was not a very secure person.
But he wanted to give Ye Linlang a sense of security.
When Ye Linlang heard Jiang Qiran talking about tomorrow's dinner, she became even more nervous!
Others celebrate their birthdays with their parents, but she is probably the only one who is so strange that she celebrates her birthday with her boyfriend’s parents…
Why do I feel like meeting my parents-in-law
Ye Linlang bit her lip again and gently called Jiang Qiran's name.
"Qiran... Tell me, will your parents like me? I always feel that your parents are very powerful people, and they are not from the same world as me."
She was a wild girl from the country, with no style or temperament. Ye Linlang was really afraid that Jiang Qiran’s parents would dislike her.
I think their names are Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, right
Ye Linlang pondered over these two names in her mind. For some reason, the relevant encyclopedias that came up when she searched for information on these two people last time emerged in her mind.
The origin is really scary, okay
…
Just when Jiang Qiran wanted to comfort Ye Linlang, he suddenly heard a dazzling light coming from outside the window!
Jiang Qiran and Ye Linlang were both stunned.
Is that lightning
Immediately afterwards, rumbling thunder sounds were heard in the dark sky, one louder than the other, as if firecrackers were going off in people's ears.
…
Logically speaking, there should be very little thunder in autumn. Why is this happening
Ye Linlang is actually a little afraid of thunder.
Her body trembled and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Jiang Qiran's clothes.
According to Grandma Song, there was a heavy thunderstorm at night when she was sent to Xiaohuang Village. She kept crying, as if she had been afraid of thunder since that day.
Moreover, every time there was a thunderstorm night, she was afraid to sleep alone and insisted on dragging Grandma Song to sleep with her. Even after growing up, this habit has never changed.
Grandma Song also made fun of her for this, but later she thought that perhaps it was because she had been abandoned on a stormy night, so Ye Linlang subconsciously wanted to grab someone she could catch and not let go.
…
Jiang Qiran raised his eyebrows when he saw Ye Linlang's body trembling slightly.
"Linlang, you're not afraid of thunder, are you?"
It would be normal for children to be afraid of such things, but they are all high school students.
Ye Linlang's eyes were slightly red, she grabbed Jiang Qiran's sleeve, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Can I...can I sleep with you tonight?"
Jiang Qiran paused when he heard this.
"This is not good..."
…
The girl shivered like a kitten and grabbed his sleeve.
"OK?"
Ye Linlang raised her pretty face from the chair, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her light red lips trembling, which could easily evoke the pity in people's hearts.
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang like this, he felt a little distressed for some reason.
He sighed and reached out to stroke Ye Linlang's hair.
"Thank you for trusting me so much, but promise me that you won't test any member of the opposite sex like this in the future."
Ye Linlang fluttered her long eyelashes, sniffed, and as if she had finally recovered a little, she glanced at Jiang Qiran.
"I don't have a boyfriend other than you, or even a male friend..."
When Jiang Qiran heard Ye Linlang's words, he felt very pleased for some reason, and the corners of his lips unconsciously deepened.
…
It was already midnight, almost twelve o'clock, so he and Ye Linlang quickly washed up and slept together in Jiang Qiran's master bedroom.
Jiang Qiran's room was just like him, very simple and neat. Even the decoration was in black, white and grey, with no decorations to be seen.
Ye Linlang brought a pillow from the guest room where she usually stayed. She was about to go back to get a quilt, but Jiang Qiran, who was sitting at the head of the bed, suddenly waved at her.
"Come up and sleep."
For some unknown reason, Ye Linlang forgot about getting another quilt. She climbed onto the bed reluctantly, wearing a very conservative pair of pajamas.
Actually, I still feel embarrassed.
This is Jiang Qiran's room, Jiang Qiran's bed, the quilt that Jiang Qiran covers himself with. It seems that even before he lies down, he can smell his scent in his nostrils.
After all, the bed was very big, so in order to keep a distance, Ye Linlang deliberately stayed away from Jiang Qiran.
Jiang Qiran did not point out Ye Linlang's little thought.
He smiled and glanced at Ye Linlang.
"Good night."
After Ye Linlang nodded softly, Jiang Qiran turned off the wall lamp.
There was silence all around, no moonlight, only pitch darkness.
I thought this night would pass peacefully, but suddenly, a bright white light flashed outside the window again!
After the lightning, there was a violent thunder that was deafening!
The darkness amplifies the fear because without being able to see, it's as if one's other senses have become heightened.
Ye Linlang's heart skipped a beat and she almost sat up.
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang's appearance, he sighed in his heart. Just when Ye Linlang was frightened, he reached out, put his arms around Ye Linlang's waist, and held her in his arms.
Compared to the tall and long-legged Jiang Qiran, Ye Linlang looked like a tiny ball when she curled up.
"Go to sleep, I'm here, don't be afraid."
In the darkness, Ye Linlang's eyes flashed, and her body leaned against Jiang Qiran's slender and strong arms. For some reason, she suddenly felt at ease.
"OK, good night."
…
There was still thunder in the middle of the night.
However, with Jiang Qiran protecting her, Ye Linlang seemed to have found a peaceful world.
Gradually, she really fell asleep.
Only Jiang Qiran couldn't sleep at night. After all, he was at an age full of vigor and vitality, and the girl in his arms was the girl he liked. His breath was filled with Ye Linlang's scent, and he couldn't help but hug Ye Linlang tighter.
