Unexpected Encounter!
!!
As they continued to make their way along the empty road, Wu Xue suddenly shivered, her arms tightening around Zhang Wei in a reflexive response to the distant rumble of thunder.
Her instinctive reaction to the sound was unmistakable, her grip on him growing even tighter.
Zhang Wei finally sighed and came to a halt. Wu Xue looked up at him in confusion. "Why are we stopping?" she inquired, perplexed by his sudden decision.
Zhang Wei pointed toward her, his expression patient. "It's you," he explained.
"Me?" Wu Xue's eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
Zhang Wei nodded in affirmation. "If you keep fearing and cowering like this in the rain, how are we supposed to even get somewhere?" he asked, his voice gentle but firm.
"Huh?" Wu Xue blinked at him, her confusion deepening.
Her phone had been destroyed in the explosion, and she knew that Zhang Wei's phone, which had been left on the car's dashboard, had met a similar fate.
