"Idiot, it's just a power outage at the school." Gu Zhihan, with a stern face, directly reached out his hand and covered her wide-open mouth, "Stop yelling—it's annoying."
Although his voice clearly carried a hint of impatience, Luo Mengmeng's panicked heart calmed down instantly.
She took the opportunity to burrow into his arms, her little head buried in his chest, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "I'm just scared!"
Who wouldn't be scared when they wake up to find everything around them pitch black and hear bone-chilling screams?
"It's just a power outage; what's there to be afraid of?" Gu Zhihan's tone was dismissive, but his hand lifted to soothingly stroke her little head.
By the light of the moon shining through the window, he could clearly see her face nestled contentedly in his arms, like a rabbit in a warm burrow.
"I am scared!" Mengmeng clutched his collar tightly.
Only then did Gu Zhihan realize that she was still in his arms.
