Chapter 188: Chapter 182: Seeking Refuge (Combined)_3

Song Shize had just finished speaking when another lightning strike occurred.

Li Qingmo was so startled that he jumped up from the sofa, and despite being so far away, his eyes were tightly fixed on Song Shize. By the time the next rumble of thunder came, he had already clung onto Song Shize with both hands and feet.

Song Shize had a completely baffled expression: "..."

Damn! Damn!! Damn!!!

It took about two minutes before Song Shize snapped back to reality. Li Qingmo was still clinging onto him, refusing to let go, looking completely cowardly now, nowhere near the imposing school bully he usually was.

Without the thunder, Li Qingmo let go of Song Shize and collapsed back on the sofa, grabbing a cushion and covering his face with it, feeling like he could never show his face again.

Song Shize glanced at Li Qingmo then out the window before he starts to realize, "You’re not scared of thunder, are you?"

Li Qingmo didn’t respond, it’s unclear if he even heard him.

For Song Shize, not replying was almost the same as admitting it.

"Pfft hahahaha~" He burst into a loud, somewhat noisy laughter which, fortunately, couldn’t be heard by the neighbors due to the good soundproofing of his house.

Li Qingmo laid on the sofa, his body still trembling slightly. The fear of thunder was deep-rooted, something he couldn’t rid himself of.

"Scared of thunder, hahaha~" Song Shize laughed even more wildly.

Who could imagine? The school bully, fearless at school, ready to confront anyone who crossed him, was afraid of thunder like a little child.

No one would believe it if you told them.

Another ten minutes passed without thunder, and Li Qingmo, who was all ears, finally relaxed. When he lowered the cushion blocking his face, he saw Song Shize’s face enlarged a lot closer in front of him.

He got startled, his body just about to sit up flopped back onto the sofa.

Song Shize squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Li Qingmo from head to toe and back again several times.

Li Qingmo felt uneasy under his gaze, shoved Song Shize sitting in front of him, and pointed to a single sofa furthest from him, "Go sit over there, stay away from me."

At this moment, his school bully aura returned a bit.

"Shut your yap! Get lost!!!" Li Qingmo snapped irritably.

"Ouch ouch, getting mad out of embarrassment." Song Shize smirked and raised his eyebrows, "You were the one who—"

"Smack!"

Li Qingmo kicked him off the sofa to the floor.

Outside, there was no more sound of thunder, and the school bully regained his usual demeanor, threatening, "Song Shize, just tell me when you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!"

"Tsk!" Song Shize shook his head and waved his hand as he got up from the ground, mumbling, "Man, you really can’t take a joke."

Eventually, when it was time to sleep at night, the two of them ended up lying on the same bed.

But they were very far apart from each other.

In the summer heat, neither of them covered themselves with a blanket, and without games to play, they just laid on the bed waiting to feel sleepy.

It’s strange sometimes, when you have things to do and don’t want to sleep, you feel overwhelmingly drowsy; but when you really want to rest early and lie down, you just can’t fall asleep.

Song Shize quietly called out to Li Qingmo, "Hey, asleep yet?"

After a long while, Li Qingmo’s muffled voice came, "...No."

He was still brooding over the fact that Song Shize learned about his fear of thunder, and in such a manner, it was utterly humiliating.

When Song Shize couldn’t sleep, he never forced himself. He turned over to face Li Qingmo, starting to cheekily make conversation, "I have a question for you?"

Li Qingmo grudgingly responded, "Just ask."

"Here’s the thing." Song Shize cleared his throat, apparently looking to stir trouble in the middle of the night, "Who do you think suits better to be your brother-in-law, me or Xie Ying’an?"

"Still thinking about being my brother-in-law?" Li Qingmo looked at him.

Song Shize hurriedly sat up, nodding excessively towards Li Qingmo, "I’m really serious—"

Li Qingmo cut him off, turning over to face the other way, his voice chilly and indifferent, "Go to sleep. Dreams have everything."

Song Shize: "..."
