Elizabeth stared at the last message he sent on the phone screen and couldn't help chuckling.
How could he, a proud man of thirty, be afraid of thunder? It was really a joke. She had the urge to burst out laughing!
She thought for a moment, then replied: My experience is to... go to sleep quickly. When you fall asleep, you won't hear the thunder."
In fact, she was afraid of thunder when she was a child. But at that time, she had her mother to keep her company.
Later, when her parents left her, she had no one to protect her when there was lightning.
In the beginning, she begged her aunt to accompany her, but her aunt refused and said that she needed to learn to be independent. She also asked Josephine to accompany her, but how could Josephine, who was accompanied by her mother, accompany her?
At that time, she always hid in the quilt alone, with her hands tightly covering her ears. She could only deceived herself that she would not be afraid. But every time the thunder sounded, even if she hid in the quilt, her little body could not help trembling. She would cry until she fell asleep.
At that time, what she hated most was summer, because there would be thunder. When she had no protection, she had to learn how to adapt to everything. After all, she had to learn how to grow up.
What should you do when you are afraid? If you wanted to defeat it, you must forget your fear first.
Later, she was no longer afraid of thunder. She even stared at lightning, and sometimes she thought it was quite beautiful.
As soon as she added a cute emoji, and before she could send the message out, someone knocked on the door of her room. Then, she heard James shouting at her outside the door.
"Elizabeth..."
Elizabeth Liang was stunned. She didn't expect him to come over.
"What?"
"Open the door."
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth's heart could not help but skip a beat.
Open the door?
Why did she open the door?
As soon as she thought of the message that he had just sent that he was afraid... She looked at the door and was stunned instantly.
Could it be that he wanted to come over and sleep with her?
When she recalled what had happened last night, she couldn't help blushing. Her heart was beating fast. Shall she... go to open the door now?
If she didn't, would it make he feel like she was still thinking about what had happened in the morning? But if she opened the door, what if...
Elizabeth was a little nervous, and her mouth suddenly became a little dry.
Perhaps she hadn't opened the door yet, James knocked on the door gently again outside the door.
Elizabeth pursed her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "What... what are you doing?"
"Open the door first." He seemed to be a little anxious.
"..." After thinking for a while, Elizabeth lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She quietly walked to the door and took a deep breath. Then she held the door handle and rotated it to open the door.
"You..." She was about to ask him what he wanted to do again. But when she saw James standing at the door, she suddenly stopped.
James seemed to have taken a shower. His hair was half-dry and slightly messy. He was wearing pajamas and stood straight outside her door. He looked a little embarrassed.
The most discordant thing at the moment was that he was holding a pillow in his arms.
From Elizabeth's point of view, he looked a little bit like a poor boy who was homeless.
James was quite embarrassed, but now when he saw Elizabeth, he lowered his head slightly and buried most of his face in the pillow. He said pitifully, which was completely different from his usual way of doing things, "Elizabeth, it's thundering..."
"..." Elizabeth was completely stunned.
