Lu Jue was drenched from head to toe as the heavy rain continued to fall on him.

The tall youth was curled up in the corner, like an abandoned puppy. He was down and out and pitiful.

Ningzhi stepped forward. The rain passed through her and fell on Lu Jue's body. When she thought of what the servant had said, her chest was filled with bitterness.

Lu Jue was sick. It wasn't his fault.

Her grandmother's death was filled with regret and regret. It couldn't be judged using normal thinking.

No one wanted to see such a thing happen.

And Lu Jue was now crouching in the corner, drenched in the heavy rain, as if he was punishing himself.

Ningzhi's throat was dry. She crouched down and put her hand on the back of Lu Jue's hand.

"Lu Jue." She felt a chill.

"The rain here is too heavy. Let me accompany you into the house, okay?"

The youth in red raised his head. The rain rolled down his face. The rain fell on his eyebrows, the tip of his nose, and even his long eyelashes. He looked at her quietly.

His face was pale. Even his lips had lost their color. Ningzhi didn't know when Lu Jue had come back, how long he had been here alone, and how long he had been in the rain.

His dark eyes were soaked in the rain. They were watery as he looked at her blankly.

Ningzhi's heart felt like it had been pinched by a clamp. The pain was unbearable.

"It's not your fault."

Ningzhi felt that Lu Jue must have heard something bad. Even if he didn't want to hear it, he must have heard one or two sentences.

He wasn't a fool. He also had feelings. It was just that his illness prevented him from receiving other people's communication. Feelings isolated him in another world.

"You'll get sick if you continue to be in the rain. I'll take you back." Ningzhi held his hand tightly. His fingers were all cold.

Lu Jue lowered his head. He didn't want to move.

He was tall and he was a boy. Ningzhi didn't have much strength. If he really didn't want to, Ningzhi wouldn't be able to move him.

"Do you want to get wet here?"

Lu Jue did not respond.

Ningzhi walked to his side and squatted down. "Okay, I'll accompany you."

The rain passed through Ningzhi's body and fell on Lu Jue's body.

Ning Zhi directly used up five small suns in exchange for five minutes of time to appear.

The bean-sized raindrops hit Ningzhi's body. She was wearing a white blouse and long pants. In less than ten seconds, she was completely drenched.

The rain at night was especially cold. Ningzhi shivered. She leaned close to Lu Jue. "I'll stay with you for as long as you want. When you feel better, we'll go into the house."

Lu Jue lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't care about the rain at all.

In the dark corner, there was only the sound of rain falling. It was cold and icy.

It was Ningzhi's first time being in the rain like this. It didn't feel good at all.

She was so cold that her face was pale. She couldn't help but move closer to Lu Jue's ear. "Xiaojue, are you cold? I'm so cold."

Lu Jue pursed his lips.

Ningzhi's eyes were almost unable to open because of the rain. Her gentle voice sounded like it was wet. "I won't fall sick if I continue to be in the rain like this, right?"

Lu Jue raised his head. He moved his lips and reached out to push Ningzhi. "Go back, go back."

Ningzhi was cold to begin with. She didn't have much strength and couldn't squat steadily. When Lu Jue pushed her, she fell to the side and sat on the ground.

Ningzhi, "…"

Lu Jue was so frightened that he quickly stood up. He looked at her anxiously and wanted to pull her up.

Ningzhi used his strength to stand up. "You're hurting me."
