Chapter 87 Thunder
After dinner, the torrential rain did not stop, but became more violent.
Accompanied by lightning flashes across the sky is thunder.
Most importantly, there was a power outage at home.
Fortunately, at this point in time, Chen Dong and Xu Zhixia had already returned to their respective rooms.
Don't worry about getting in the dark anymore.
"There was a power outage?" Chen Dong frowned slightly, but fortunately, the problem was not serious. He bought a small night light before, and now it can be used.
When he was shopping in the supermarket before, Chen Dong saw that this small night light was very delicate, and it could last for a week on a single charge, so he bought it.
When Chen Dong turned on the night light, the whole room became much brighter.
I didn't expect this to look very small, but also quite awesome.
"Are you asleep?"
Chen Dong suddenly received a message from Xu Zhixia.
"no, what happened?"
Xu Zhixia didn't reply, and within half a minute, Chen Dong suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"it's me."
Chen Dong opened the door and looked at Xu Zhixia who was wearing pajamas outside the door: "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhixia glanced at Chen Dong carefully, and said hesitantly: "I can't sleep, can I talk to you for a while?"
"If you want to sleep, forget it, as if I didn't say so."
"come in."
The room was tidied up by Chen Dong very clean and simple.
"Can I sit on the bed?"
"can."
"This rainy day is prone to power outages." Xu Zhixia intentionally found a topic.
"Well, I'm sure I'll call when the rain stops, but the weather forecast says the rain will last until three or four o'clock at night." Chen Dong said, "If you're scared, you can take the night light in my room past."
When Xu Zhixia heard these words, his body froze suddenly, and he forced a smile and said, "Why would I be afraid, isn't it just a rainy day?"
Immediately after a bolt of lightning struck down, Xu Zhixia trembled almost subconsciously.
Chen Dong noticed that Xu Zhixia was hanging down, and his hands clenched into fists unnaturally.
she is afraid?This is a subconscious reaction, perhaps even Xu Zhixia didn't realize that she had revealed her inner side inadvertently.
"Are you afraid of thunder?" Chen Dong asked directly.
Xu Zhixia never expected that Chen Dong could spot it. She bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful eyes full of grievances.
"Do you think I'm too timid?"
Xu Zhixia, who had been told her thoughts, couldn't continue to pretend, so she had to admit it.
She has been afraid of thunder since she was a child. When she heard the muffled thunder outside the house, she was too scared to speak.
That's when I thought about coming to chat with Chen Dong, but I didn't expect to be seen through by Chen Dong.
what to do?Chen Dong probably thought he was too timid.
Xu Zhixia felt a little ashamed of his behavior for being so big that he was still afraid of thunder.
Hearing these words, Chen Dong asked inexplicably, "I don't think so!"
"Why do I think you are timid, isn't it normal to be afraid of thunder?"
"Everyone has something to fear, and some fears are beyond our control."
It was the first time Chen Dong saw Xu Zhixia, the CEO showing such a weak side.
On weekdays, Xu Zhixia gave him the feeling that he was strong and calm...
He suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.
"Then do you have anything to be afraid of?" Hearing what Chen Dong said, Xu Zhixia felt better. It turned out that Chen Dong didn't think he was too timid.
Chen Dong nodded, and said frankly: "Of course, I was very afraid of cockroaches when I was a child, and I still feel scared when I see cockroaches now."
Chen Dong never mentioned this kind of thing to anyone, except for his parents, Xu Zhixia was the first to know about it.
After all, it is quite embarrassing for a big man to be afraid of small insects like cockroaches.
He deliberately brought up this matter today, just to appease Xu Zhixia's emotions.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Zhixia heard about this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha, Chen Dong, you are still afraid of cockroaches hahahahaha, sorry, forgive me for not being able to bear it!"
"You are too cute!"
Chen Dong looked at Xu Zhixia who was laughing loudly, his whole face turned dark.
"Hahahaha hiccup." Xu Zhixia managed to stop her smile, and she also realized that she shouldn't have laughed at this moment: "Ahem, cough, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."
"You're not angry, are you?"
Chen Dong shook his head, what is there to be angry about such a trivial matter?
Immediately afterwards, a flash of lightning seemed to split the sky into two, and the sound of thunder always sounded when people were not paying attention.
Xu Zhixia was taken aback by the shock, and subconsciously shrank into Chen Dong's arms.
Chen Dong wanted to push Xu Zhixia away, but when he met his deer-like eyes, he had no choice but to say, "That can only be hugged for a while."
Xu Zhixia nodded obediently, and nestled in Chen Dong's arms.
The two were relatively silent for a while, and Xu Zhixia even thought that it would be great if time could stand still at this moment.
Chen Dong's embrace is really warm and comfortable, just like him, making people feel safe.
"Chen Dong, I'm actually afraid of thunder not because it scares people." Xu Zhixia suddenly said, "My parents had a car accident on such a rainy night."
"Do you know why they got into a car accident?"
"I was still in kindergarten at the time, and my parents were hit by a big truck on the way to pick me up...It was too late to rescue me when I was sent to the hospital." Xu Zhixia said sullenly, her whole body Feeling down a lot.
"Since then, every time I encounter a rainy day like that day, I can't help being afraid, just like returning to the evening when they died, that deep sense of powerlessness..."
Xu Zhixia didn't know why she wanted to tell Chen Dong about this. Maybe Chen Dong couldn't understand this feeling, but she still wanted to say it.
Chen Dong was silent when he heard the words, he never thought that there was such a thing behind Xu Zhixia's fear of thunder.
"Don't be too sad. After all, no one wanted such a thing to happen back then, and you were so young at that time. It wasn't your fault."
Chen Dong reached out and rubbed Xu Zhixia's hair, silently comforting him.
Xu Zhixia sniffed, and suddenly felt her nose sour, and a burst of tears welled up in her heart.
Over the years, Chen Dong was the only one who persuaded her not to feel too guilty.
"Chen Dong, thank you."
Thank you for not disliking my timidity, thank you for being with me, thank you for listening to my story, and thank you for being able to comfort me.
Xu Zhixia's tears wet Chen Dong's pajamas, but she didn't know it.
Chen Dong didn't speak either, and let Xu Zhixia hold him and cry for more than half an hour, and his butt hurt from sitting on it.
When he was about to let go, he found that Xu Zhixia had fallen asleep in his arms, and even tears were still hanging on those slender eyelashes.
Chen Dong originally wanted to wake Xu Zhixia up, but he finally held back after thinking about it.
