I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

There were about seven or eight girls in the hall, all of whom were high-ranking officials who had a good relationship with Yu Sheng. At this moment, the haze had not yet dissipated, and everyone was in a bad mood. They huddled together and whispered to each other.

Su Yun and Lan Dai were the only members of the noble group, and they sat next to Shen Mianzhi.

Jiang Huashan and Fu Sui'er lay on the windowsill watching the rain. Thousands of rain needles fell down in a loud noise. This scene reminded them of the heavy rain when they were thirteen years old.

Yu Sheng stepped forward to greet everyone generously, attracting everyone's attention.

Shen Guiling paused, looked up at her, and seemed a little puzzled as to why she asked that.

Yu Sheng said softly, "I heard from the superiors that lung infection may cause a lifelong cough."

When the shipwreck happened, Yu Sheng and Shen Guiling were both on missions in the South China Sea Fleet. Shen Guiling refused to be recalled and she was the only one who supported him.

No one understood why a man like Shen Guiling would risk his life to earn military merit. Only she saw the sharpness beneath his elegant appearance. Before leaving, she encouraged Shen Guiling to come back alive no matter how difficult it was. In the end, Shen Guiling did keep their promise.

Because of this tacit understanding, Yu Sheng was confident that even if Shen Guiling didn't like her now, he would not refuse her approach, because no one in the world would understand him better than her.

Shen Guiling's eyes drooped, and she smiled gently, "Thank you for your concern."

Yu Sheng nodded, then glanced sideways outside the courtroom, a worried look on his face. "I wonder how Miss Gu is doing now? What is the kidnapper's purpose?"

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to chat, but Shen Guiling did not respond and continued to look down at his phone.

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was unwilling to show his edge.

The rain was pouring down, splashing on the windowsill.

Jiang Huashan stood up feeling a little uncomfortable. His blood volume was low and he had to go back to the room to clean up.

As soon as she left the chair, Shen Guiling looked up at her as if she had a pair of eyes on her head, "Where are you going?"

When he asked this, everyone looked over.

"..." Jiang Huashan pointed to the room, "I'm going back to the room to get something."

Yu Sheng immediately advised, "Don't go. We don't know what the situation is right now. It's not safe."

"Yes, it's better for everyone not to get separated at this time." The girls were now like frightened birds. Hearing that Jiang Huashan was still planning to act alone, they also followed suit to persuade her.

When saying this, everyone's attitude was relatively calm and there was no malice in their hearts.

Jiang Huashan had a subtle expression and was about to speak when Shen Guiling stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Yu Sheng was stunned again and looked at Shen Guiling with some surprise.

He also graduated from a military and political academy. Logically, shouldn't he hate this kind of behavior of acting on his own and ignoring the rules the most?

Shen Guiling didn't care about other people's eyes at all. She walked to the door first. Seeing that Jiang Huashan didn't move, she stopped and turned her head to look at her.

"I'll accompany you too." Fu Sui'er stood up.

Jiang Huashan pressed her shoulders and pushed her back, "You stay here."

The window screens were blown to and fro in the rain by the strong wind, and the thunder seemed to split the sky apart.

"Wow—"

The water flow formed a siphon, pulling the dazzling red into the black hole.

Jiang Huashan lowered her head and touched her abdomen, and her stomach started to hurt again at this moment.

She sighed softly, turned on the faucet, and looked at herself in the mirror while washing her hands.

Maybe it’s because she’s had so many life and death experiences that she no longer feels afraid. Instead, she feels excited and eager to try.

After wiping her fingertips clean, she took a deep breath, turned the handle, pushed the door open and walked out of the bathroom.

Shen Guiling was leaning against the windowsill watching the thunderstorm. When he heard the sound, he immediately turned around and asked, "Is it done?"

Jiang Huashan nodded, "Let's go."

Shen Guiling leaned against the windowsill without moving, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Jiang Huashan was stunned. Although she was not afraid, she was not calm enough to sleep peacefully.

"Forget it..."

"boom--"

Suddenly, a loud thunder broke the sky, and half of the night outside the window was divided into two halves by thunder and lightning.

The lights in front of me suddenly went out and the room was plunged into darkness.

"what!!!"

At this time, screams came one after another from outside the corridor.

"Shen..."

Jiang Huashan was a beat slow to react. Just as she was about to speak, the figure by the windowsill suddenly walked in front of her.

"Shh..." His breath came quietly, and his warm fingertips pressed against her slightly open lips.

Jiang Huashan was stunned.

Suddenly, purple lightning streaked across the sky, and in the fleeting flash of lightning, she saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be burning.

Just like that night.

Jiang Huashan's breathing became lighter and she turned to retreat. Shen Guiling pressed one of her shoulders and pushed her to the corner. She put her hands on his chest and was about to resist.

"boom--"

The door was kicked open and two dark shadows rushed in, seemingly holding guns in their hands.

Are they pirates?!

Jiang Huashan's fingertips paused. She was about to push Shen Guiling away but because of nervousness she held on to his lapel tightly.

Shen Guiling lowered her eyes. Her palms were shaking slightly, and her fingertips were bent to varying degrees. Through a layer of cloth, he could clearly feel the trembling coming from her body.

When people are in the dark, their other senses will be infinitely magnified, just like now, outside the house there is heavy rain, noisy voices, and thunder. In this chaotic world, he can still accurately capture the sound of a disordered heartbeat.

“Bang—bang—”

Scared?

Shen Guiling hesitated for a moment, then put one hand on her shoulder and held her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid." The voice was very soft, close to her ear.

"!" Jiang Huashan was caught off guard, like an orange cat whose tail was suddenly stepped on. He covered his ears and looked at him with his round eyes.

Shen Guiling was touched by her cuteness. When she opened her mouth to curse, he put his other hand around her shoulders and covered her mouth.

"Shhh."

He even used his eyes to remind her to be wary of the dark shadow.

【Ding--】

Jiang Huashan, “…”

She bit his palm.
