Chapter 160 - 156 Rotten Idea
Qingran didn’t know how her brother spent the night, but figured that with Xie Ying’an by his side, he probably wasn’t too scared.
The next morning, when they went to school, the rain was still pouring outside, with the intensity of the thunderstorm varying. After Mr. Li went to his company, he even made sure the driver came back to take them to school.
Now Qingran couldn’t even think about not waiting for her brother.
When Li Qingmo came downstairs with dark circles under his eyes, Qingran and Xie Ying’an had been waiting for him downstairs for over ten minutes.
Li Qingmo rolled his eyes at Xie Ying’an and then gave a thumbs-up before pretending to collapse.
This gesture was a bit indecent. Qingran took a secret glance at Xie Ying’an, who didn’t seem bothered by Li Qingmo’s behavior at all.
Li Qingmo ignored Qingran’s urging, leisurely ate breakfast at the dining table, his movements calm and unhurried.
After a long look at his dark circles, Qingran quietly asked Xie Ying’an, "Didn’t my brother play video games again last night, did he?"
His dark circles could even rival a national treasure.
"No," Xie Ying’an curled the corner of his mouth, his smile containing a bit of schadenfreude, "He was just scared of the thunder."
Xie Ying’an certainly wouldn’t tell Qingran that Li Qingmo, thinking everyone else had left yesterday, screamed in terror wrapped in a blanket each time the thunder clapped. And when the thunder finally subsided, the moment Li Qingmo stuck his head out from the blanket and saw a shadow under the bed, his screams were even louder than when he was frightened by the thunder.
