"Well, as for that method... ahem," Lin Feng covered his mouth, revealing a wicked smile. "It's just a matter of a kiss. If you kiss my wound, the scar will disappear immediately."

Upon hearing this, Tang Rou blushed, her charming eyes sparkling. "You... you are so naughty..."

By the time they had finished watching the movie, it was already past ten at night. Lin Feng suggested, "It's late, let me take you home."

Hesitating for a moment, Tang Rou replied, "Alright."

Lin Feng then hailed a taxi, and Tang Rou said to the driver, "Driver, please take us to the Qingshan residential area."

The taxi driver was taken aback. The Qingshan residential area is a famous neighborhood for the wealthy in Jiangzhou City, he thought. I wouldn't have guessed these two young people's families are that rich; why are they taking a taxi?

As the car drove along the quiet night road, Lin Feng asked, "Tang Rou, have you moved? I remember you didn't live in the Qingshan residential area before, right?"

Tang Rou nodded. "Not exactly. The Qingshan residential area property was bought by my dad a while ago; it's where he goes to relax when he's on vacation. I moved there after my school break started. My dad has been very busy these past few days and usually stays at his other place. So, I'm the only one at home. There's a nanny during the day, but she goes home in the evening."

"Aren't you scared to stay alone?" Lin Feng asked.

Tang Rou chuckled. "I'm a grown-up, why should I be scared? The security in the Qingshan residential area is very good. Besides, there are cameras all around my house, so no one can get in. Even if someone did, we still have Mao Mao."

"Mao Mao?"

"Yes, he's our German Shepherd. He's very well-behaved."

As they neared the Qingshan residential area in the cab, Tang Rou suddenly asked the driver to stop. "Driver, could you pull over here? We'll get out here."

Lin Feng looked; by the roadside was a Red Flag Chain Supermarket. Confused, he asked, "Have we... arrived?"

Getting out of the car, Tang Rou explained, "The Qingshan residential area is a single road, and it's lined with villas on both sides. The property management is very strict, and there are no shops at the community entrance. So, if you want to buy something, you have to come outside the residential area. I'm out of toothpaste, and I've used up all my tissues..."

"Okay."

After paying the taxi fare, Lin Feng accompanied Tang Rou into the supermarket.

BOOM!

Not long after they went inside, the sky, which had been clear, suddenly filled with lightning and thunder.

About ten minutes later, when they came out, they saw the sky constantly flashing with lightning. Tang Rou ducked her head slightly and said worriedly, "Looks like it's going to rain."

Carrying their purchases, Lin Feng said, "Then let's hurry up. It looks like a heavy downpour is coming, and we don't have an umbrella. If we're slow, we'll probably get soaked to the bone!"

Because the supermarket was only a few hundred meters from the residential area, after Lin Feng spoke, the two of them hurried towards the community.

BOOM!

Another clap of thunder, and then a torrential downpour swept in!

"Oh no, the rain's so heavy! Let's quickly find a place to take cover... There's an abandoned newsstand over there; let's go in and shelter for a bit!"

By the time they reached the entrance to the residential area, the heavy rain had arrived. Without an umbrella, they could only temporarily seek shelter. The main entrance to the Qingshan residential area was, in fact, the intersection of Qingshan Road. There was no security booth here, just a large stone gate, making it look rather bare.

In front of the stone gate was an abandoned newsstand. With no other options, they quickly ducked inside. Even so, because the rain was so intense, by the time they ducked into the narrow newsstand, parts of their clothes were already soaked.

"The rain is so heavy, Lin Feng, what do we do now?" Hiding inside the newsstand, Tang Rou asked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked around. This place was, so to speak, in the middle of nowhere. The supermarket where they had just bought things was nearly a kilometer away. That distance might not seem far, but in this downpour, they would be soaked through in three seconds if they stood in the rain, let alone walk a kilometer. So, going back to the supermarket to buy an umbrella was not feasible. Besides, in this kind of stormy weather with lightning, having an umbrella or not didn't really make much difference.

"How far is your house from here?" Lin Feng asked.

"It's about... 500 meters away," Tang Rou replied.

Lin Feng pursed his lips and smiled. "Then there's no choice. We can only wait here for a bit and go back when the rain stops. This rain should be a shower; it'll pass in a little while. Let's just wait, okay?"

"Yes," Tang Rou nodded.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that we'd be trapped here at a time like this..."

"It's my fault for involving you. If you hadn't escorted me, if I hadn't gone to the supermarket to buy things... you wouldn't be trapped here..."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're wrong to say that. Isn't it normal for a guy to walk a girl home? Hehe, don't tell me you didn't want me to see you home?"

"I... I didn't... I wanted... I like it..."

Being questioned like this by Lin Feng, Tang Rou immediately became a little flustered. As she spoke, she replied, lowering her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

The newsstand was a very small space, just about fitting the two of them squeezed inside. After standing face-to-face for a while, Lin Feng felt that the distance between them was really a bit too close. If they squeezed any tighter, some intimate contact would be unavoidable. So, at this moment, with the heavy rain pouring outside, both of them felt a sense of awkwardness.

Tang Rou also sensed that something wasn't quite right. However, being in this confined space with Lin Feng, not only did she not feel uneasy, but deep down, she actually felt a thrill and a secret sense of joy.

Oh dear... what am I thinking? How could I... how could I have this kind of feeling... Lin Feng... Why am I so happy when I'm with Lin Feng?

Shaking her head gently, to divert her attention, Tang Rou said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, looking at this, the rain will take a while to stop. We can't just stand here idly. Why don't you tell me a story?"

"What?"

Lin Feng's mouth fell open wide enough to fit an egg. They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; girls' thoughts are truly hard to guess! At this time, in this place, she actually wants me to tell her a story?

"Ahem... I'm not particularly good at telling stories. How about I give you a couple of brain teasers and riddles to solve?"

Telling stories was indeed not Lin Feng's strong suit. However, he was quite talented at telling jokes and posing brain teasers.

"Brain teasers? Sure, sure, I'm very smart. You definitely won't be able to stump me."

Hearing Lin Feng say he wanted to test her with brain teasers, Tang Rou immediately became lively.

"Alright then, here's the first question. Listen carefully." Lin Feng smiled triumphantly. My brain teasers are manageable for guys, but for girls... hehe, let's see how you answer this.

"Bridal chamber on the wedding night—guess a term from a weather forecast."

Lin Feng, with a mischievous smile, posed the first brain teaser to Tang Rou.
