Guan Boyan stood in front of the window and thought about Hua Shuiyan's attitude towards him. Hua Shuiyan seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, but why did she reject him?
Could it be that she really couldn't tell that he liked her? The people around him, be it men or women, were all respectful to him. In addition, every girl hoped to get his favor, but he had a special liking for her. But why did every time he and Hua Shuiyan came into contact and fought, his self-control was on the verge of collapse?
The three-day deadline was almost up. He only had two days left. Could he change her feelings for him in these two days?
He was hesitant…
Listening to the rumbling thunder in the sky, his heart thumped loudly." Sigh, even the heavens are not helping…" He couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Guan Boyan suddenly remembered Hua Shuiyan's fear of lightning. His expression changed drastically." Lightning, Shuiyan…" In an instant, he rushed up to the second floor like a galloping horse. He pushed open the door forcefully." Shuiyan…"
He suddenly realized that she was hiding under the blanket and trembling uncontrollably. He carefully approached her." Shuiyan…" He called out to her softly.
The room was silent for a while. Suddenly, a sobbing sound came from under the quilt. Guan Boyan slowly lifted a corner of the quilt." Are you crying?”
" No..." Hua Shuiyan choked.
"No? You're lying through your teeth." Guan Boyan reprimanded her softly.
"If I say no, then no!" Hua Shuiyan hid under the blanket and growled. Then, she burst into tears.
Guan Boyan sighed helplessly and gently reprimanded her,""You're really a stubborn woman.”
He forcefully lifted the blanket, and the first thing he saw was Hua Shuiyan's stunned eyes. The thunder outside the window made her on the verge of collapse.
Hua Shuiyan, who was in tears, did not expect him to lift the cotton seed." You deliberately wanted to see me embarrass myself, you bastard!”She roared angrily, trying to snatch the quilt back from his hands.
"Enough! I'm worried about you, not because I want to see you embarrass yourself!”he reprimanded.
He scolded her, but his heart ached for her even more. Guan Boyan hugged her by the waist. Hua Shuiyan kept struggling, but his strong arms hugged her tightly, making her unable to move in his arms.
" Don't reject my good intentions. I'm really worried about you..." He comforted her softly as if she was a child. His hand gently stroked her hair until she was no longer so afraid. Finally, she obediently leaned her tearful face on his shoulder.
After a long while, she finally raised her head and stared at him with tears in her eyes." I don't want to be alone. I'm afraid…" She choked.
"Are you afraid of lightning and thunder?"
" Yes…" She finally admitted it.
"I'll be with you. Don't be afraid." He pulled the blanket to her neck and wrapped her in it. He wrapped his arms around her under the blanket.
Hua Shuiyan was surprised by his gentleness, then she leaned toward him anxiously." You really won't leave me?”
"I won't." He whispered softly in her ear.
She looked up at his firm chin. Although she hated the arrogant expression on his face and the evil smile on his lips, she could feel his strong heartbeat in his warm embrace. Listening to his heartbeat, she felt that she was no longer afraid.
"Lie down and rest, okay?" he asked gently.
Hua Shuiyan realized that she seemed to have fallen in love with his warm chest. She didn't say anything and just shook her head violently.
Looking at her innocent appearance, he promised her,"I will stay by your side and accompany you.”His fingers gently brushed across her cheek.
Hua Shuiyan stared at Guan Boyan with her big eyes. His fingers touched her cheek as if he was burning her soul.
Guan Boyan pulled the blanket off Hua Shuiyan's body. He leaned against the bedpost and hugged her with both hands." Lie against me and have a good sleep."”As soon as he finished speaking, he covered them with the blanket.
After a while, she finally understood Guan Boyan's good intentions. Extremely satisfied, she lay in his arms." Thank you."”
"You're welcome." He smiled slightly. He was still blaming the heavens for not being nice just now, but now he wanted to thank the heavens for giving him this opportunity to get close to her.
But why was she so afraid of thunder and lightning? This made him very curious.
He could not help but caress her cheek." Can you tell me why you are afraid of thunder and lightning?”
Hua Shuiyan looked up at him and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth." Maybe I've really done all kinds of bad things, that's why I'm afraid of thunder and lightning.”
"Nonsense!" He could hear the teasing in her words." I can tell that you're not a bad girl.”he said gently.
"You can tell? Don't be too confident. Haven't you heard of the saying,'You can't judge a book by its cover'? I'm not a book that can be seen through by just flipping through it.”She sighed.
At this moment, he did not want to argue with her. His fingers slid along the lines of her face, and his touch made her tremble for no reason.
He suddenly propped himself up, and she thought he was going to get up and leave.
" You…" Hua Shuiyan looked at him pleadingly.
Guan Boyan looked at her helpless expression, and an indescribable feeling gripped him tightly. He leaned over her unexpectedly, and before Hua Shuiyan could understand what he wanted to do, his lips had already gently fallen and kissed her.
She was stunned!
She could clearly feel the warmth of his lips and the elegant scent of his cologne. This kiss was a gift that could soothe her heart.
He stared at her with a smile." This is just a goodnight kiss. Go to sleep! I'll be your guardian angel tonight."
She looked at him in shock because she realized that her breathing had become faster. It was not that she had never been kissed by a man before. Even if it was just a goodnight kiss to him, this kiss was the most shocking in her past experience.
He suddenly tightened his grip around her, as if to show his strength. His palm slid down her fair neck and stayed at the crook of her neck. His fingers gently stroked the pulse on her throat, and then he slowly and gently said,"Go to sleep…"
She suddenly felt disappointed because she only got a goodnight kiss from him tonight.
Perhaps it was because of Guan Boyan's company that she was able to completely relax herself. Hua Shuiyan slept without moving for a few hours until the nightmare that had plagued her for many years appeared in her mind again.
" Dad, Mom..." Hua Shuiyan opened her eyes in fear. She sat up with a dizzy head and realized that she had a nightmare again.
She quickly got out of bed and folded the quilt neatly before leaving the room. She crept downstairs to look for her guardian angel from last night.
"Hi, good morning." A clear voice sounded from the door behind her.
Startled, she quickly turned to face him and tried to squeeze out a happy smile." Morning."”
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
Guan Boyan was the first to break the silence." The wind and rain last night were really heavy. Many of the trees outside were tilted by the wind!"”
Hua Shuiyan looked at him in shock." Could it be a typhoon?"”
"Unfortunately, it seems to be a typhoon.”He smiled bitterly.
"Is it really a typhoon? How did you know?" She prayed in her heart that he was just scaring her.
"It's true. I just ran back to the car to listen to the radio.”
She pointed at the TV in the living room." Why didn't you watch the news on TV and run back to the car to listen to the radio?”
"The problem is that the television has been cut off. Not only that, even the phone is not working. Even the electricity has been cut off.”He looked at her in defeat.
Looking at his dejected expression, Hua Shuiyan panicked even more. She looked at him in fear." You're just scaring me, right?”
"If you don't believe me, you can try turning on the lights or making a call!”He shrugged sarcastically.
She quickly rushed to Guan Boyan and grabbed his arm." Why don't we leave this place as soon as possible during the day?"”
"If we could leave, I would take you with me without hesitation. The problem is that we can't leave at all.”He looked at her apologetically.
"Why?" she asked anxiously.
"There was a landslide last night, and the falling rocks blocked our way back.”he said with a forced calmness.
" What?!" She let go of his arm and took a step back in fear." No way…we're trapped here?”
"Correct. You and I will be trapped here until the people outside clear the falling rocks.”His voice suddenly became low.
She really couldn't believe what she had just heard. If they were really trapped here, then the thing that worried her the most wasn't the power failure, but him…
She squatted down dejectedly and hugged her knees with both hands…She was already used to facing pressure, but she had never encountered such a thing that made her mentally and physically exhausted.
Guan Boyan could see her uneasiness from her panicked expression." I didn't expect the typhoon to be so strong this time."”He deliberately said it in a relaxed manner in an attempt to dispel the uneasiness in her heart.
His relaxed tone really angered her!
"Perhaps this is what you want." She muttered unhappily.
He heard her whisper, and Guan Boyan's brows furrowed in displeasure." What do you mean by that?" It's as if I can't wait for this typhoon to happen!”
His eyes were instantly filled with a shocking storm, and anger surged into his heart. At this moment, he was like a lion in a fence, pacing back and forth restlessly.
His anger stunned her." Come on! Don't you really think so? I don't believe it!" Therefore, she also spoke ill of him.
"Have you said enough? What an ungrateful woman." He squeezed out these words through gritted teeth in anger.
She looked at him in disbelief. How could her words make him so angry? Hua Shuiyan closed her slightly opened mouth. She had a strong urge to rush up and slap him!
She suddenly stood up and glared at him." What did I say wrong? If it weren't for you, would we be trapped here today?”Hua Shuiyan refuted angrily.
"That's right! I arranged for us to come here, but if you don't bet with me, I believe the two of us can sit in the office and enjoy the cold air.”he said angrily.
"From what you're saying, it's all my fault?”Hua Shuiyan glared at him with her hands on her hips, her face flushed with anger.
Guan Boyan shrugged and rolled his eyes at her hysterical state. He paced back and forth in the room." It's useless to complain now.”
"I'm not complaining!" she said angrily.
He glanced at her." You! Not only is she a stubborn woman, but she's also a woman who can't explain herself. If we have to blame someone, we can only blame ourselves for being unlucky.”
"Fate?" "All of this is because of you," she muttered softly.”
"Hey! Be reasonable, you can't blame me for everything, because it takes two to tango.”Guan Boyan corrected her.
"From what you mean, I have to take responsibility for this matter?”she said angrily.
"Isn't that so?" His tone was sarcastic and his lips curled into a cold smile.
" You…" She was unable to refute his words.
"Why don't you face this disaster with gratitude? Perhaps this is God's arrangement for us to be alone.”Guan Boyan's lips curled into a strange smile.
" You…" Hua Shuiyan glared at him angrily.
The corners of his lips curled up proudly as he said meaningfully,"Didn't you have a good sleep last night? Why did he burn the bridge after crossing it at dawn?”
" I…" A blush appeared on her cheeks." You…"
" Keep sucking up to me. Look at the dark clouds outside. The typhoon might not be over yet. You might need me to help you…" Guan Boyan patted his chest and laughed mockingly.
"Damn it! I won't need you tonight." She said angrily.
"Really?" He smiled mockingly." I'd like to see if you can really do it.”
"Yes, absolutely." Hua Shuiyan said stubbornly.
"I hope so." There was a hint of contempt in his smile.
"I will do it." Hua Shuiyan could not stand his mocking gaze and shouted at him angrily.
He coldly sneered and turned to go upstairs. Hua Shuiyan really didn't understand why he could always easily provoke her anger. She was not a woman who got angry easily!
Hua Shuiyan was stunned to find that she was greedily admiring his strong and beautiful back. Suddenly, she felt her mouth go dry and even felt her heart pounding against her ribs. She looked at the back view that was gradually disappearing in a daze. Suddenly, a voice sounded in her heart...
Hua Shuiyan, what are you thinking?
After she regained her senses, she felt both panic and shame.
"Why? Why?"
Hua Shuiyan, who was trembling in anger, walked back to her room and slammed the door shut. Why was she so stupid as to abide by this ridiculous bet and come here?
Why was she so stupid as to allow herself to live under the same roof as him?
Too many whys made her extremely angry.
Hua Shuiyan sat by the bed and stared ahead." What's wrong with me?”
She looked at her trembling hands and clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps she should be glad that Guan Boyan was a true gentleman. The two of them hugged tightly for an entire night. He did not do anything inappropriate to her, but his touch still made her anxious.
She suddenly remembered Kim Mirai's prophecy…She met her future partner because of the glass shoes, and the other party was born at midnight.
"Zi Shi…I wonder if Guan Boyan was born at Zi Shi?”she muttered to herself.
Then, she waved her hands above her head and pouted." He was definitely not born at midnight.”She was stunned. How could she be so sure?
Come to think of it, he had an illustrious family background, and she was simply not worthy of him. How could a young talent who looked down on the entire station be interested in a woman from a humble background?
Did she really think she was Cinderella from a fairy tale? Sigh! Stop dreaming.
The sudden knock on the door startled her." What's the matter?”
"Have breakfast." Guan Boyan shouted from outside the door.
"Oh." She answered in a panic.
Wasn't he arguing with her just now? How did he come to call her for breakfast in the blink of an eye?
She quickly tidied up her appearance and rushed out of the door. When she went downstairs, she tried her best to control her emotions and quickly put on a happy expression.
"Have you prepared breakfast?" Hua Shuiyan smiled awkwardly.
"Yes." He took out the bread from the oven." Come and eat."”He urged her nonchalantly.
Hua Shuiyan was quite surprised by his attitude towards her, but she had to admire his ability to control his emotions because there was almost no trace of anger on his face.
"Thank you." Hua Shuiyan pulled out a chair and sat down in fear.
Faced with the sumptuous breakfast, she asked in admiration,"I thought you didn't know how to cook?"
He smiled faintly." Just because I don't know how to cook doesn't mean that I don't know how to make breakfast. As long as I pay attention to nutrition for breakfast, it's fine. Two poached eggs, two slices of toast, and a glass of milk. That's not a problem for me.”
"You're right." Hua Shuiyan reached out to pick up the toast on the plate and slowly tore a small piece into her mouth.
Guan Boyan sat across from her and observed her eating." I didn't mean to anger you just now."”he said shyly.
Upon hearing his apology, she was so shocked that she almost choked. She swallowed the toast in her mouth." It's okay. I've already forgotten."”
She lowered her head and continued to enjoy her breakfast. She thought to herself…He changed so quickly, but it was only the beginning of the day. Today was still very long.
He looked at Hua Shuiyan, who had her head lowered and did not speak. He felt a little disappointed because he realized that when they were together, the atmosphere was always so heavy.
"Although the two of us are making a bet, there's no need to be so hostile towards each other. Why don't we be more friendly?”he said happily.
"You're right." She did not have any objections and continued to eat her food with her head lowered.
He could feel her wariness. This was not a situation he was happy to see." Shui Yan…"
"Yes, what is it?" She looked up shyly at him.
" I hope that we can get along peacefully in these two days…" he said quietly.
Get along peacefully? Hua Shuiyan sighed in her heart. How could that be? Unless…the sun rose from the west.
"Okay, I hope so too. Besides, it doesn't seem good to glare at each other under the same roof every day.”Hua Shuiyan said something that went against her conscience.
No way! In fact, glaring at each other every day might be a guarantee for her. At least she could refuse to get close to Guan Boyan and avoid touching him, whether it was intentional or not.
Guan Boyan was secretly surprised by her straightforward answer. Could it be that she had the same thoughts as him?
Hua Shuiyan picked up the milk in front of her and gulped it down in one go. Then she stood up and smiled at him. She bowed slightly." Thank you for your breakfast."”
Her clear eyes stared into his confused eyes, and in an instant, he found the answer. She was just using the way she treated the guests in the company to face him. She wanted to maintain the distance between the two of them by being polite and gentle.
A hint of disappointment flashed across his face, which was then replaced by a mocking smile." You're welcome. If you don't want to taste the famous dish of Chu Bawang's suicide on the Wu River, I'll have to rely on you for lunch and dinner.”
Her eyes suddenly widened. Then, she forced a smile." I understand what you mean. I'll take care of lunch and dinner.”
"That's good. Living together, you have to understand the division of labor and cooperation.”Guan Boyan raised his eyebrows and said happily.
That's right! She was given a lot of work!
"That's right." Hua Shuiyan didn't want to retort. She still had a smile on her face, but this smile was a little lazy and forced.
His gaze had been on her, and his gentle attitude made her more and more uncomfortable, especially the smile on his face, as if it was intimidating her soul. Her cheeks immediately turned red and her emotions were very chaotic. She was afraid of this feeling, and finally she hurriedly turned around and left him in a hurry to escape the restaurant.
He looked at her leaving in a hurry, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.#
