Hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Jiang Mian was completely horrified!

Her pupils contracted slightly, but she tried her best to keep her expression steady.

"Let's not do it. Little Stone is still too young; he'll have nightmares tonight..."

To everyone's surprise, Lu Chaochi laughed and said, "I'm not afraid! Dad, tell me the story of the water ghost!"

The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, without any deliberate attempt to create a sinister tone.

There wasn't even much variation in tone.

“Every year, some swimmers drown in the reservoir. They are all very good swimmers, but they still drown. The villagers say it's because water ghosts are looking for scapegoats, so they come to take their lives…”

For people who aren't afraid, Lu Bozhou's voice telling ghost stories is extremely boring.

But for Jiang Mian...

She didn't say anything, but silently broke out in a cold sweat.

When it was time to sleep at night, Lu Chaochi wanted to sleep in the tent.

Jiang Mian felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about how the tent was right next to the reservoir!

What if a water ghost crawls out of the reservoir at night?!

Even though we know intellectually that it's unlikely, human imagination knows no bounds!

But Jiang Mian couldn't bear to refuse her son.

She pursed her lips, her fingers gently pinching the hem of her clothes, unable to utter a word of refusal.

Lu Bozhou glanced at her and said calmly, "Lu Chaochi and I will sleep in the tent. You can sleep in the car."

Jiang Mian's eyes suddenly brightened.

The bed in the RV was quite comfortable, but I guess I wasn't used to sleeping in a vehicle in the wilderness.

Jiang Mian didn't sleep soundly.

I would wake up briefly every now and then, and when I turned my head, I could see the light of the camping lanterns outside the car window.

Seeing that tent brought me a little peace of mind, and I fell asleep again.

midnight.

Suddenly, a heavy rain began to fall.

Heavy rain is not uncommon in this early autumn season.

Jiang Mian woke up quickly and looked at the wind and rain outside.

The tent held up fairly well in the wind and rain, but Jiang Mian was still a little worried.

The rain in this season is like this: one autumn rain brings a chill.

It's the middle of the night, and we're in the wilderness, so it's only going to get colder.

Jiang Mian quickly grabbed an umbrella and got out of the car. As soon as the car door opened, she was almost thrown back by the torrential rain.

Because the wind was so strong, the rain was practically falling horizontally!

In just one glance, Jiang Mian's clothes were almost completely soaked.

She thought about it and decided it wouldn't work, so she took out two more raincoats and headed towards the tent.

"Little Stone! Little Stone! President Lu! President Lu!"

When Jiang Mian got to the tent, she realized that although the tent was very waterproof.

But because the rain was so heavy, the water was almost overflowing the edge of the tent!

If it goes on any longer, it will definitely get inside.

Perhaps the rain was too loud, because Jiang Mian didn't hear the response from inside.

She was a little anxious, "Lu Bozhou!"

Two seconds later, a man's calm voice came from inside, "Why did you come down in such heavy rain?"

"The rain is too heavy, the water will flood in a bit! You and Xiao Shitou, get in the car quickly!" Jiang Mian said anxiously.

Lu Bozhou didn't seem too worried about it. "Let's wait for the rain to subside."

"Who knows when it will shrink again?" Jiang Mian opened the waterproof zipper a crack.

He stuffed the raincoat inside, saying, "You can just wear the raincoat when you come out; you won't get wet."

The child sleeps so soundly, he can't be woken up by thunder.

The heavy rain outside made him sleep even more comfortably.

As Lu Bozhou scooped Xiao Shitou out of the water and put a raincoat on him, Xiao Shitou asked groggily, "Dad? What's wrong?"

It was probably because Lu Bozhou had just woken up and was still a little dazed and confused.

Or perhaps he felt the child was still half asleep, so it would be better to speak in language the child could understand better.

“It’s raining heavily. Mianmian told us to sleep in the car. Put on your raincoat.” Lu Bozhou said as he buttoned up his raincoat.

"Oh, okay." Lu Chaochi wasn't angry at being woken up. He was still half asleep and groggily put on his raincoat, not thinking there was anything wrong with what his father said.

Jiang Mian stood outside the tent, listening to the man inside calling her by her nickname in a somewhat languid voice.

It was as if a feather had gently brushed against her heart on this damp, rainy night.

He rarely called her by her nickname before.

He usually called her by her nickname in bed. This man was usually aloof and indifferent, appearing very ascetic.

But in bed, he's like a completely different person; there's not a trace of abstinence about him.

When they stayed overnight at the Lu or Jiang family's residence, Lu Bozhou would have some wicked ideas.

He would be very affectionate with her, and she was already nervous in that kind of environment.

He insisted that she make a sound!

She bit her lip and remained silent. He would kiss her open her mouth and then pinch her chin.

He moved his lips close to her ear and whispered her nickname.

His voice was deep, magnetic, and alluringly sexy.

Mianmian, make a sound, I want to hear it...

Mianmian, don't bite so hard...

Mianmian, Mianmian...

Jiang Mian's face turned bright red when she thought about it.

Fortunately, the wind on that rainy night suddenly turned cool, which cooled down her face considerably.

Before long, the father and son came out of the tent, having put on their raincoats.

Because they were still half asleep, their expressionless faces appeared in the same frame, like different versions of each other.

Jiang Mian held up a large umbrella over their heads with her slender arms and handed the handle to Lu Bozhou.

The rain is too heavy, so it's best to use an umbrella to avoid getting your head and face soaked.

"Get in the car quickly! I'll go pack up the tent."

As Lu Bozhou gripped the umbrella handle, he grabbed her hand and pulled her under the umbrella as well.

"Why bother collecting it? Just leave it there. We'll deal with it when the rain stops."

Got in the car.

Compared to the raging storm outside, the car felt surprisingly quiet and cozy.

Lu Bozhou had just taken off his raincoat and hung it on the car door pole.

Turning around, I saw Jiang Mian bending down to unbutton Lu Chaochi's raincoat.

Rain dripped down her fingertips, hair, chin, and hem of her clothes.

She was almost completely soaked.

A thin T-shirt clung to his body.

The thin fabric becomes somewhat transparent when wet and clings to the body.

The outline of her bra was visible, highlighting her slender figure.

With his bony spine and collarbone, he appeared quite frail.

Lu Chaochi was still groggy and reacted slowly, saying, "I can do it myself, Mianmian, you wipe it off..."

"It's okay, no rush. I'll be there in a bit." Jiang Mian took off his raincoat.

Before I could even get him a towel to wipe him down...

The next second, a large towel was wrapped around her head and face.

Jiang Mian was taken aback because the towel had a strong and distinct scent of ebony and sandalwood.

Moreover, with the head covered and vision restricted, other senses become more acute and clear.

She felt that Lu Bozhou's aura was almost enveloping her!

Add to that the memory of his calling out "Mianmian" from inside the tent, and the reverie from his past life.

Jiang Mian's heart started pounding uncontrollably!

Fortunately, the bath towel was big enough to cover her head and face.

Otherwise, she really wasn't sure if her face was flushed right now.

"Come here, I'll help you wipe it."
