100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 581: Why Lie?
Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Why Lie?
She felt absolutely nothing for herself, while he was there, alone, foolishly panicked and at a loss.
Almost half an hour had passed, and Tang Yu still had no trace of sleepiness, while the other side of the bed, Leng Jing, was already sleeping soundly.
No matter how much he tossed and turned, he could only suppress it in his heart, not daring to move around, because he was afraid of disturbing her sleep, and even more afraid that his abnormality would attract her attention and she would detect some clue.
Outside the window, the storm was fierce, the howling wind sounded somewhat terrifying in the quiet night, yet at this moment it acted as a catalyst for his desires.
In the middle of the night, the dark room suddenly lit up, several flashes of lightning struck down, followed by deafening thunder and an even more frenzied storm.
Tang Yu turned around with some concern to check on Leng Jing, then he felt relieved, knowing that Leng Jing was not afraid of thunder and wouldn’t wake up once asleep.
Tang Yu turned back, reassured, and continued to strive to fall asleep; once asleep, he would know nothing, and his wild thoughts would cease.
But just as he relaxed his body, accompanied by a clap of thunder, he suddenly felt a soft bundle pressing against his back, clinging tightly to him.
Tang Yu froze for a long time, his body stiff as he turned around, and called out uncertainly, "... An An?"
Leng Jing clutched his shirt with both hands, her tone apologetic, "I’m sorry... I’m scared..."
Tang Yu was bewildered, "Aren’t you..." not afraid of thunder?
Luckily, Tang Yu stopped himself mid-sentence; otherwise, how would he explain his knowledge of her fearlessness toward thunder with his amnesia.
At the same time, a question arose; but now that Leng Jing said she was afraid of thunder, was she... lying?
Why would she lie?
"It must! It must be a problem with the way my brain thinks..."
Looking at his constantly turned-away back, in that instant, nearly all of Leng Jing’s courage and impulse vanished.
For a man, she had gone to such lengths; she almost didn’t feel like herself anymore.
What she found unbearable was that having gone so far, Tang Yu’s reaction was such strong resistance and repulsion; Leng Jing, who had never been rejected, felt incredibly defeated.
But her strong-willed personality instead spurred her on after the setbacks.
She recalled how Tang Yu had humbled himself and suffered for her; using those memories to break through her own hesitations, she stood her ground.
As the thunder diminished, Leng Jing still clung tightly to his body, Tang Yu’s heart pounded like a drum, he comforted her hastily and struggled to close his eyes and fall asleep.
He didn’t even dare to turn his head...
He told himself that everything was just self-comfort and illusions produced from the excessive desire to obtain.
To others, including Leng Jing, all these things were just ordinary, whether it was cleaning his house for him or not minding being in the same room with him, or perhaps because she was a girl after all, and girls are fickle; suddenly being scared of thunder wasn’t strange...
Thus, he came up with one reason after another, shattering his needless expectations time and again...
Leng Jing’s strong pride finally made her unable to endure any longer, she bit her lip hard, Tang Yu, is it truly that you have no feelings for me anymore, or are you just too dumb and insensitive?
What kind of hint do I need to give you to make it clear?
Aren’t men supposed to be instinctually sensitive in these matters?
Why does it completely not work with him?
