Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Night of Thunder and Lightning_1

It’s a message from Gu Xiaorou.

Yang Gang came to the window, looking at the thundering night sky, his heart filled with an unexplainable thought.

As soon as he was woken up by the thunder in his dream, his first thought was Gu Xiaorou.

Many girls are afraid of thunder, but Gu Xiaorou is terrified of it, like being strangled, an inability to breathe kind of fear.

Gu Xiaorou didn’t say too much about her extreme fear of thunder, but Yang Gang guessed that she might have a deep psychological trauma related to thunder.

Standing by the window, Yang Gang was about to send a text message back to Gu Xiaorou, but his phone suddenly shut down.

He had tricked Yang Fei the last time, but this time his phone really ran out of power.

Yang Gang glanced at the thunder outside the window and after a brief hesitation, he left his room.

He knocked on Lin Yueyao’s door, asked her to go stay with Yang Fei in his room, while he quietly left Yang’s villa.

He didn’t take the car. On a night with a typhoon landing, heavy rains pouring down, and severe waterlogging on the roads, driving didn’t seem like a good idea.

He didn’t even wear a raincoat. He didn’t know where it was and Lin Yueyao, who was new to the Yang family, didn’t know where it was either. And Yang Gang didn’t want to disturb the others, so he left in his normal clothes.

Amid the pouring rain and the raging storm, Yang Gang rushed towards the residential area where Gu Xiaorou rented her apartment.

The rain was heavy and the moment Yang Gang stepped out of Yang’s villa, he was soaked to the core.

The wind was strong, anyone under this type of wind force would make one step forward but then take three steps back. Even though Yang Gang was of exceptional physique, he could still move forward in the storm, but it was really a tough task.

On top of that, frequent thunder and lightning created extremely adverse travel conditions.

The streets were empty, not a single person or a car in sight, only Yang Gang’s frail figure struggling to move forward amid the lightning, thunder, and the raging storm.

Half an hour later, even Yang Gang, with his exceptional physique, was having a hard time. Without the division and proliferation of the cells in his body, he couldn’t maintain his strength.

In the midst of the storm, he bent over, panting heavily.

After a short rest, Yang Gang started walking again.

He couldn’t just leave Gu Xiaorou.

Yang Gang still remembered, six or seven years ago, the first time he encountered Gu Xiaorou. It was also amid lightning and thunder, a violent stormy weather.

Underneath a big tree at that time, the twelve or thirteen-year-old Gu Xiaorou was huddled with her hands over her head, shivering.

At that moment, Yang Gang could never forget the look in Gu Xiaorou’s eyes.

In her eyes, a void, fear, without any sign of life, as if she was dead.

Yang Gang didn’t want to see that look in Gu Xiaorou’s eyes again.

Gazing at the thundering night sky, he smirked bitterly, "Why the hell am I going through this? Isn’t this supposed to be Zhang Yu’s territory? I’m just an ’actor’ here. Plus, Mother Nature, you bastard, isn’t it enough with just thunderstorms, why the hell is there thunder too? I despise you!"

Yang Gang decisively flipped off the sky.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck through the sky, splitting a nearby tree next to Yang Gang in half.

Holy crap!

Yang Gang immediately switched to a devout expression, "Lord, I was just joking. I respect you the most."

After ’placating’ Heaven, Yang Gang continued on his way.

Gu Xiaorou’s apartment.

With the lights on, Gu Xiaorou huddled against the wall near the door, shivering with her phone on the floor.

"Gangzi, he turned his phone off, he won’t come."

Gu Xiaorou, with her hands covering her head and ears, tears fell ’plip plop’."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Gu Xiaorou, still covering her ears, thought it was a hallucination and didn’t open the door.

But the knocking continued, and she seemed to hear Yang Gang’s voice, "Hey, Xiaorou, open the door."

"Gangzi? Hehe, must be an illusion. His phone is off, perhaps he didn’t see the message. Even if he saw it, he wouldn’t come. Going out in this weather is just like suicide. I’m not Gangzi’s girlfriend, why would he risk his life to keep me company? Must be a hallucination..."

At that moment, the door was burst open.

A familiar figure rushed in.

It was Yang Gang.

An excellent bounty hunter, picking locks is a compulsory skill.

"Xiaorou, are you okay?"

Looking at his face, full of concern, up close, Gu Xiaorou’s tears burst forth again, she reached out and cried in Yang Gang’s arms.

"I thought...you wouldn’t come."

Yang Gang smiled faintly, "I was going to reply to your message but my phone ran out of power. Okay, stop crying now, isn’t that why I came here?"

After saying that Yang Gang angrily added, "Next time I see that bastard Zhang Yu, I’m gonna charge him a ’girlfriend protection’ fee!"

Gu Xiaorou stopped crying, loosened her grip on Yang Gang’s arm, looked at his shivering and thoroughly soaked body, her mind filled with complicated thoughts, she said, "Gangzi, stop talking nonsense, go take a hot shower."

"Uh, okay." Yang Gang without any hesitation.

Just before entering the shower, Yang Gang grinned, "Xiaorou, your bathroom doesn’t have any cameras or anything, right?"

A shadow crossed over Gu Xiaorou’s face, "I have no interest in your body, rest assured!"

Yang Gang smiled and entered the shower area, soon the sound of running water filled in.

Sitting on the living room sofa in her nightgown, Gu Xiaorou, who was a bit restless, put down the book in her hands and looked out the window.

In the night sky, the flashes of lightning in the distance continued.

But she didn’t seem to be as afraid anymore.

She glanced at the bathroom, her mind filled with strange thoughts.

"Why is it like this? I am Zhang Yu’s girlfriend, why when I’m scared, the first person I think of is always Gangzi?"

After a moment of silence, a smirk appeared on the corner of Gu Xiaorou’s mouth.

"As a woman with a boyfriend, yet unconsciously relying on another man, I’m really a loose/shameless woman."

Just then, Yang Gang who was in the shower spoke up, "Oh, right, Xiaorou, can you find a set of Zhang Yu’s pajamas for me? All my clothes are soaked, can’t wear them for a while."

"But I don’t have Zhang Yu’s clothes here." said Gu Xiaorou.

"Damn, don’t tell me you are living together without any of Zhang Yu’s clothes?"

Gu Xiaorou, annoyed, responded, "When did I ever say that I was living with Zhang Yu in Hangcheng? I rented my place alone!"

"Damn, don’t joke like this. Surely, after I finish my shower, I can’t just not wear any clothes, right?" Yang Gang freaked out.

Gu Xiaorou, seeming to notice the problem as well pondered, then said, "Or, you could wear my pajamas?"

"I refuse!" Yang Gang decisively reject, "As a man, how can I wear a woman’s clothes?"

"So, what now?" Gu Xiaorou seemed out of ideas too.
