Actually, Ji Yunmiao had died on that rainy night long ago. What survived was merely a walking corpse, a walking corpse with no perception of the world. Whenever there was thunder, someone would come to take him away. Where to?
To a place without any more pain.
But I don’t want to go. If I left, what would Yaya do?
Yaya had struggled so much; how could he bear to leave her...
He hugged his head, crouching in the corner of the room, but the thunder seemed to grow louder and louder, so loud that his head felt like it was about to explode.
Suddenly, he fell to the ground, rolling back and forth on the cold floor, his head aching terribly...
The car pulled up right outside the living room, Yun Ya jumped out and ran quickly upstairs, pushing open the room door, "Miaomiao?"
Upon seeing Yun Ya return, Aunt Li immediately walked over with a surprised delight, "Miss, you’re back. Please come and see, the little master has locked himself in the bathroom."
"Bring me the key," Yun Ya commanded calmly.
Aunt Li slapped her head, "Look at me, I was so flustered I forgot. Wait a moment, Miss," she said and quickly left the room.
Yun Ya walked to the door, her gaze as though trying to penetrate the door and see inside. One hand pressed against her chest, her eyes red and sore with emotion.
Miaomiao, my poor brother... I’m sorry, I came back too late.
Aunt Li virtually ran into the room, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it. The door opened.
"You go out first," said Yun Ya blandly.
Aunt Li withdrew her gaze and stepped out.
Yun Ya entered and saw Ji Yunmiao lying on the floor. Her heart clenched with pain. She walked over to lift him up. Ji Yunmiao had already fainted; his face was streaked with tears that hadn’t yet dried.
I’m sorry for not being there with you when you were suffering the most.
Yun Ya’s heart ached uncontrollably.
She helped Miaomiao up. He was so much taller than her that she could hardly move him on her own. After exerting the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, she managed to get him onto the bed. Yun Ya tucked him in properly, looking at Yun Miao’s pale face, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.
Ji Lanyi had left a deep shadow in Miaomiao’s heart. Ever since that night, he became afraid to see Ji Lanyi, just as he feared thunder and rain. He was too young at that time, and the incident had left a trauma on his young mind.
If it hadn’t been for Ji Lanyi, how could Miaomiao have ended up ? He wouldn’t have become an idiot from a fever after getting drenched in the rain. How intelligent Miaomiao was, grasping things swiftly. His IQ was even higher than hers, but after that incident, her brilliant Miaomiao never returned.
Ji Lanyi, when I was a child I couldn’t do anything to you, but wait and see. The pain you’ve inflicted on Miaomiao, I will return it to you twofold.
Yun Ya’s clothes were soaked, clinging stickily to her body, but she had no time to care about that. She lay on the edge of the bed, keeping him company.
At some point, the phone suddenly rang. Yun Ya opened her eyes groggily and took out her mobile phone from her bag. It was Yan Song calling. This content belongs to NoveIＦire.net
She cleared her throat and spoke softly, "Hello, Brother Yan."
"Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up."
Yun Ya glanced at Miaomiao, "I’m sorry, Brother Yan, I can’t go with you."
Yan Song’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, "What happened?"
Yun Ya sighed, "Miaomiao is sick. It’s not suitable for him to travel far right now. Sorry, Brother Yan..."
"How is he? Is it serious?" Yan Song asked worriedly.
"Just a small cold; he’s sleeping now. Don’t worry, Brother Yan, but I can’t accompany you."
"Where are you now, I’ll come over."
"But don’t you have to catch a plane this afternoon?"
"The flight is at three, and it’s only one o’clock now. Before I leave, I want to see you and Miaomiao."
"I’m at Ji Family Manor. Come over, Brother Yan."
After hanging up, Yun Ya went to change her clothes, then went downstairs to instruct Uncle Feng to allow her guest entry later.
"Miss, have you eaten lunch yet?" Aunt Li asked considerately.
Yun Ya shook her head, "Let’s talk about it later."
Yun Ya watched as the rain outside seemed to grow heavier, frowning deeply. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, at this same time, a strong typhoon had made landfall, and Jiangzhou experienced torrential downpours for an extended period. The rainfall at that time even surpassed previous records, and the typhoon caused severe damage to the entire city.
Aunt Li sighed, "The TV said this morning that a typhoon is going to hit soon. The government has issued a series of typhoon prevention measures. Really, how come we’re facing another typhoon."
Jiangzhou is a coastal city, right in the tropical monsoon region, so typhoons are quite normal, but this year’s typhoon seems much worse than usual.
