”Yeah, I think so too.” His face brightened even more when he heard her.

”Yes.” Let's go back. The wind is strong right now, so I'm a little cold. ”

”Is that so?” He was shocked, but then he realized that her hands were ice-cold. He couldn't help but regret. ”Why didn't you say so earlier? Come, quickly put on my clothes.”

In his heart, however, he was blaming himself. He clearly knew that her body was weak, yet he had specially brought her to the backyard to be exposed to the wind. He had truly been careless.

He took off his coat and she put it on and looked at her and asked, ”How is it? Are you feeling any better? ”

She grabbed her big coat and nodded. ”Much better.”

”Come, come close to me.” Without further ado, he pulled her close, then wrapped his arms around her and tightly wrapped her clothes around her. ”Let's go back.”

She gave a soft ”hmm” and her expression became a little absent-minded. He thought that she was really cold and could not help but hug her even more tightly. ”Come, let's go. We'll get closer from here.”

When he came here, he didn't feel it was right to come here. Now that he had to go back, he realized how far he had to take in order to get back, and that it would take him quite a few minutes to reach it. But just at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew in the sky, causing Shen Xiran to feel like he couldn't even open his eyes.

”Crap.” She heard him say urgently, ”It's going to rain.”

She was taken aback and was about to raise her head when she suddenly felt him pressing down on her head. ”Hurry up and leave.”

She was pulled forward by him, dizzy. She couldn't see anything around her. She could only hear the sound of rain falling.

In her panic, she didn't know how she got back to the house, only that he let her go after he closed the door for the last time.

She steadied herself and looked up. Suddenly, she realized that her vision was blurry, only his blurry figure could be seen moving about.

For a moment, she thought there was something wrong with her eyes, but then she turned to look out the window and realized that the sky outside had darkened in just a few minutes. Dark clouds covered the sky, and raindrops the size of beans poured down in a torrential downpour.

The world was dark and gloomy, as if everything in the world had been submerged by the heavy rain. At a glance, one would feel a sense of loneliness.

She frowned as she looked at the heavy rain outside. Beside her, he said calmly, ”Don't worry, normally it won't rain like this for long. We'll go back later.”

As she spoke, she clicked on the lamp by her hand, realizing that this was not the room she thought it was, but a house she had never seen before, empty.

When he saw her gaze, he explained, ”The rain came too fast. We don't have enough time to return to the main house, so we'll temporarily stay here to avoid the rain. Your body isn't well, so you can't get a cold from the rain.” She reached for her coat. ”It's wet.”

She looked over and saw that it was indeed wet, and then she saw that his entire body was wet.

Her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she realized that her body was not wet at all. It felt very dry and refreshing.

He looked into her eyes and said, ”Have you gotten wet?” ”Just bear with it, I've already sent someone to pick us up.”

She shook her head. ”I'm fine, but as for you …”

He smiled without a care. ”I'm a man. This little bit of rain is nothing. It's fine as long as you have nothing on you.” Saying so, he frowned and looked at the sky, ”The rain outside is getting heavier, so I guess they will come very slowly, so we better wait.”

As he spoke, he looked around the room and found that it was really empty. He frowned and said, ”I think that this place is empty. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so empty.” After saying that, he saw a door on the other side of the wall. He walked over and gently pushed the door open.

Seeing his actions, she couldn't help but open her mouth to stop him, but then she suddenly stopped. She felt that her actions were a little ridiculous. It was just a room, what was there to worry about?

He opened the door to take a look and said in an excited voice, ”I told you, there's something here. Come here.”

She had been silent ever since she entered the room. She walked over without asking and found that there was a small bedroom inside. It was nothing compared to her spacious bedroom, but there was still a bed and a small wardrobe inside.

Is there anyone living here?

However, Si Lianye didn't care that much as she excitedly opened the wardrobe. Her eyes suddenly lit up: ”There's a blanket, that's great.”

He then rummaged through the clothes and found another set of clothes. However, it was obvious that it was the uniform of a servant.

Last time Si Lianye was arranged by someone, there were already many things placed in here, ready to be used by the new servants to stay in. But Si Lianye did not like so many people, so this room was left empty.

She looked at his wet body and finally couldn't resist saying, ”There seems to be a small room inside, maybe a bathroom. You go take a look, maybe even a hot bath.”
