Filled with compliments by Luan Qing Xiao, Nie Zhen’er’s cheeks remained red while she picked vegetables. Luan Qing Xiao was in charge of pushing the cart on the side as her eyes fell on Nie Zhen'er from time to time.

    Nie Zhen'er could feel Luan Qing Xiao's gaze like it was tangible. Her heart tightened and she felt numb all over her body. Goose bumps appeared on her skin, just like a small animal's stress response when it meets a hunter.

    From the pinna to her slender neck, Nie Zhen'er's snow-white skin was stained with a lovely blush because of Luan Qing Xiao.

    After buying the groceries and registering her address, Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao walked out of the supermarket together.

    The initial light blue sky outside had become gray whereas the air also became humid. They couldn’t feel the slightest trace of wind.

    It was currently midsummer. In the supermarket, there was air conditioning so they didn't feel the heat yet. However, as soon as they came out, Nie Zhen'er soon sweated a thin sheen before a couple of steps.

    "It looks like it’s going to rain." Nie Zhen'er temporarily forgot Luan Qing Xiao's invasive gaze that made her tremble and turned to Luan Qing Xiao.

    Luan Qing Xiao's eyes were clear and gentle. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at the sky, "It's gonna get dark soon. I’m guessing there will be a thunderstorm in roughly ten minutes."

    Nie Zhen'er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao, who was gentle and not the slightest aggressive. She couldn't help but blame herself. Just now, she wasn't looking at Luan Qing Xiao. How could she flatter herself like that, thinking that Luan Qing Xiao was looking at herself with that look?

    Nie Zhen'er blushed and lowered her head because of the shame. The sprinkle of sweats covered her thin pink face, like a tender and juicy peach, waiting for someone to taste.

    Luan Qing Xiao's eyes darkened slightly.

    She paused, then raised her wrist to tap her optical brain. "The public spacecraft is available every ten minutes and never is late. We’ll definitely be able to get on it before it rains. It takes half an hour to go home. By the time we get home, the rain will probably stop."

    Luan Qing Xiao searched for the real-time location of the 8145 public spacecraft, but found the spacecraft motionless one kilometer away from here. A red triangle was displayed next to it with a yellow exclamation mark inside.

    "It seems we two are rather unlucky… …" Luan Qing Xiao presses on the exclamation point.

    "What's the matter?" Nie Zhen'er leaned over to look at her optical brain.

    Luan Qing Xiao moved the optical brain towards Nie Zhen'er, reading the words above. "The police are chasing a fugitive and temporarily requisitioned section 7-1-7 for twenty minutes. During this time, all vehicles are prohibited from driving."

    Nie Zhen'er couldn't help but raise her head and ask Luan Qing Xiao, "What should we do now?"

    Luan Qing Xiao said, "Go to the supermarket to hide from the rain, or hide from the rain under the public station and wait for the rain to stop or the public spacecraft to come and go home."

    Nie Zhen'er asked, "Qing Xiao, which one do you want to choose?"

    Nie Zhen'er actually wanted to watch the rain outside, but she was embarrassed to tell Luan Qing Xiao. She was also afraid that the rain would be too heavy and the rain would wet her clothes, so she put the choice in Luan Qing Xiao's hands.

    If Luan Qing Xiao chooses to hide from the rain at the transportation stop, then Nie Zhen'er will watch the rain. If Luan Qing Xiao chooses to enter the supermarket, then Nie Zhen'er's clothes will not be wet by the rain.

    Nie Zhen'er waited nervously, yet expectantly, for Luan Qing Xiao's answer.

    Luan Qing Xiao deliberately showed a thoughtful expression, "En… …"

    "Have you chosen?" Nie Zhen'er's two hands clenched into fists beside her body.

    Suddenly, Luan Qing Xiao laughed. It was like spring water breaking the ice, melting under the warm sun. "You like watching rain, then let's watch the rain under the public stop sign."

    Luan Qing Xiao took advantage of Nie Zhen'er's momentary lapse of stupefiedness and gently rubbed the top of her head.

    For a long time, an unknown breeze picked up Nie Zhen'er's long hair. Luan Qing Xiao raised her hand and helped her pin the strand of hair behind her fair ear.

    Nie Zhen'er finally reacted. In addition to the doubts in her clear almond eyes, there was a little bit of bashfulness. "How do you know that I wanted to watch the rain?" She asked in a low voice.

    The wind became stronger and stronger as the dark clouds in the sky gathered, blowing up the clothes on Luan Qing Xiao's body and her black hair.

    A big drop of rain fell on the tip of Nie Zhen'er's nose, so Luan Qing Xiao quickly took her hand and ran under the public craft station.

    The curved transparent tempered glass overhead cut off the raindrops. Luan Qing Xiao wiped the rain from the tip of Nie Zhen'er’s nose with her slender fingertips. She retracted her hand and placed it behind her back, gently twisting the tip of the thumb and index finger and reliving the smooth aftertaste. "Zhen'er, what did you ask me just now? The wind was too loud, I didn't hear it clearly."

    Nie Zhen'er felt the tip of her nose tingle where Luan Qing Xiao had touched it and wanted to reach out to rub it. However, she was embarrassed to do so in front of Luan Qing Xiao. When she heard Luan Qing Xiao's words, she raised her voice slightly, "How do you know that I wanted to watch the rain?"

    At the same time, lightning flashed across the sky and there was a loud "bang" that happened to completely cover up Nie Zhen'er's voice. Luan Qing Xiao still didn't hear what Nie Zhen'er said.

    After the thunder and lightning, heavy rain pours down, washing the planet X "smashingly".

    Nie Zhen'er bit her lower lip helplessly. The two times that she had said it, Luan Qing Xiao couldn't hear her clearly. The first time was because of her low voice and the second time was because of the thunder. All in all, it was all related to sound.

    Nie Zhen'er already couldn’t be more shy when she asked this sentence. After asking her to repeat it so many times, the sweat that had just been blown dry by the wind seemed to start again.

    "I asked," Nie Zhen'er walked over to Luan Qing Xiao. She gently tiptoed up and put her lips closer to Luan Qing Xiao's ear, "How do you know I want to watch the rain?"

    Luan Qing Xiao lost concentration because of Nie Zhen'er's sudden closeness… …
