After hearing Yun Bilu's words, Huang Yize's eyes narrowed into crescents . “Am I not usually gentle?”
“No, no . You're quite gentle . ”
Later, when they were having their dinner, Huang Yize asked if Yun Bilu felt unsafe in a foreign place .
Yun Bilu shook her head . “No, I know this is your house, so I think I'm safe here . ” However, if he weren't here in the villa with her, she would most likely feel very empty inside .
Even without Yun Bilu's reply, Huang Yize already understood deep down .
That night, a thunderstorm struck around midnight .
When Huang Yize woke up in the middle of the night, he could feel the strong winds blowing in through the cracks in the windows . The wind was damp, and it blew right at him .
He looked out the window . Accompanied by booming thunder, lightning was constantly flashing amidst the downpour .
After closing the windows, Huang Yize couldn't help but think of Yun Bilu . The windows in her room weren't closed yet, so he felt worried at once .
Huang Yize switched on the lights and went upstairs . He knocked on Yun Bilu's door, but he didn't get any response . His heart skipped a beat . This was a completely new sensation to him, and he couldn't ignore the concern he felt .
He immediately opened the door, and he could feel the strong and damp wind blowing in through the windows . He saw Yun Bilu hiding under the blankets with a dazed look in her eyes . ( Boxno vel . co m )
The room was filled with strong winds and felt damp . Huang Yize looked at Yun Bilu behaving in this manner, and his heart turned gentle instantly . He stepped forward and sat beside her . After turning on the lamp on the nightstand, he asked, “What's wrong?”
The moment Yun Bilu saw Huang Yize, she hugged him and rested her head on his chest . Her body was trembling, and she didn't say a single word .
Huang Yize watched how Yun Bilu acted like a frightened little kid . His hands were clumsy, and he didn't know how to comfort her . In fact, he had never tried to console a lady before . He didn't know what to say nor what he should do .
“What happened to you?” Besides feeling anxious, Huang Yize's voice sounded rather stern .
“Huang Yize, you're scolding me again . I don't want to stay here anymore . ”
Huang Yize pulled Yun Bilu back right away, never letting her go . “What happened? I didn't scold you . ” He wanted to say that he was worried about her, but he couldn't say those words aloud at all .
To him, how could a man say those words so easily? All his feelings and concern were expressed through his actions, so there was no need for him to say them out loud .
He didn't respect men with a glib tongue who only knew how to sweet-talk and couldn't walk their talk .
In reality, Yun Bilu felt safe after seeing Huang Yize . She and her elder sister were actually afraid of dark houses, thunder, and lightning . When they were young, it was on a stormy day like this that their parents went missing .
At her dormitory, it was crowded and lively, so she wasn't scared during thunderstorms . However, in her current situation—where she was in a large and foreign place—she felt vulnerable and afraid .
Yun Bilu couldn't manage to say a single word, but Huang Yize seemed to understand her . On such a day, girls would easily feel frightened .
He stood up to shut the windows, but Yun Bilu hurriedly clutched at his sleeve . She said in a small voice, “Don't go . ”
Huang Yize turned back and patted Yun Bilu's hand assuringly . “Okay, I won't go . I'll just shut the windows . ” When he lowered his head, he could see the fragile look in Yun Bilu's eyes .
Usually, this girl was gutsy—she was never afraid of anything . After seeing her in such a state, it seemed like she was scared of this kind of weather .
Looking at how fragile she looked, he truly felt helpless . His heart also turned incredibly soft .
After shutting the windows, the room became much quieter, and Yun Bilu's heart gradually calmed down . As she looked at Huang Yize, she felt a subtle change in the atmosphere around them .
She didn't know what to say . Should she ask him to leave the room, or should she allow him to stay here?
Yun Bilu's mind went blank . At that moment, she absolutely didn't know how to respond .
