But she still clutched the quilt tightly, and her palms and calves soon became sweaty.

Before the second thunder sounded, the mobile phone placed next to the pillow suddenly vibrated.

Li Mianmian turned his head slightly and looked over - the caller ID was Gu Yanci.

She picked up almost subconsciously.

"You didn't go to work today?" Gu Yanci's voice sounded anxious, "Are you alone now?"

"Um……"

"Then where are you now?" Gu Yanci asked, "At school? In the dormitory?"

"Um……"

"Don't be afraid -" There was a loud sound of wind and rain on Gu Yanci's side, "Brother will go find you now. He will be here soon...he will be there soon."

He kept mumbling: "Don't be afraid, Mumu, don't be afraid."

Li Mianmian suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.

"When you left me, why weren't you worried that I would be scared?" She asked softly, choking with sobs, "You were so cruel...so cruel, when you left me...why weren't you worried that I would be scared?

?”

"I'm sorry..." Gu Yanci said immediately, "It's my brother's fault... I already regret it, please don't cry..."

"..."

Hearing his apology, Li Mianmian suddenly sobered up.

"You don't have to say sorry to me." She said tremblingly, "You have no obligation to take care of me in the first place."

"Mumu..."

"You have done a good job. You told my mother about my fear of thunder, right? So every time there is a thunderstorm, she will ask for leave to accompany me." Li Mianmian bit her lip, "I just said

...I can't help it...I'm used to it. I'm used to losing my temper at you. I expect too much from you, so it's easy for me to feel aggrieved in front of you...I'm too dependent on you, brother."

"You can." Gu Yanci said hoarsely, "You can rely on me. My brother lets you rely on..."

"But the feeling of relying on others is not so good sometimes. It makes me feel like I am like a dodder, very useless, I can only lie on you to suck blood." Li Mianmian said, "I also want to be relied on by others.

I also want to be relied upon by you."

"..."

"You always hide a lot of things from me and are unwilling to tell me anything..."

At this point, a thunder interrupted Li Mianmian's words.

Her breathing suddenly became heavier, and she paused for a long time. She didn't know what suddenly occurred to her, and she said abruptly: "But I actually have no right to blame you, because... I also have something I haven't told you."

Gu Yanci: "...what?"

"I didn't tell you... why I'm afraid of thunder."
