At that time, his mind was filled with pranks, all he thought about was whether he could scare Dong Xin Yan this time, all he wanted was for Dong Xin Yan to beg for mercy and submit to him.
He didn’t leave, drove a little further and then stopped, planning to go back later to see Dong Xin Yan’s ugly state.
He sat in the driver’s seat, fingers lightly tapping the steering wheel, imagining what Dong Xin Yan would look like when she was scared.
Would she cry? Or get angry?
He thought, she should get angry! Dong Xin Yan is not an ordinary woman, she’s never cried before, even when Uncle Dong hit her, she didn’t shed a tear.
As he thought about it, a smile unknowingly crept onto his lips, but he didn’t notice it himself.
Time was almost up. He started the car, turned it around, and drove back to where he had left Dong Xin Yan, parked the car, and got out.
At that time, he was already prepared that if Dong Xin Yan got angry and wanted to hit him, he certainly would not be as powerless as when they were kids.
But, when he got out of the car and walked up to Dong Xin Yan, he didn’t see an angry person ready to hit him, instead, he saw... Dong Xin Yan, who was never afraid of anything growing up, curled up, hiding in a corner, hands tightly covering her ears, her face pale as a sheet, her body trembling incessantly.
She wasn’t crying, yet it shook him more than tears could.
It was the first time he saw Dong Xin Yan , so afraid... so helpless, so much like a girl...
Something in his heart was suddenly struck fiercely, and he couldn’t help moving forward, kneeling in front of her, reaching out slowly, his voice unexpectedly hoarse as he softly spoke, "Dong... ."
He had only uttered one word when Dong Xin Yan suddenly raised her head, staring straight at him. Those clear eyes were glaring at him, filled with fear and hatred, her voice low and chilling, word by word, she shouted at him, "Gu Ningyi, I hate you!"
That time, he did succeed in frightening Dong Xin Yan, but he wasn’t happy as he imagined; instead, his heart ached, sour and inexplicably uncomfortable. Later, when he learned the reason why Dong Xin Yan was afraid of thunderstorms, he felt as if a large hand was gripping his heart tightly, leaving him almost unable to breathe.

Even for a period, the look in Dong Xin Yan’s eyes that night, and her words, "Gu Ningyi, I hate you," became a lingering nightmare for him.
That her, and the her now, were exactly the same.
Seeing her , Gu Ningyi could hardly think of anything else, he strode forward, grabbed Dong Xin Yan’s arm, pulled her up, and then dragged her towards the villa.
Dong Xin Yan was still in extreme fear, unable to react, only blankly letting Gu Ningyi drag her away. But at that moment, another thunderclap burst, and Dong Xin Yan shuddered, instinctively reaching out to hug Gu Ningyi, her entire body shrinking into Gu Ningyi’s embrace.
Gu Ningyi didn’t expect Dong Xin Yan to hug him, his steps froze abruptly, looking at her in astonishment.
