Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 506: Wonderful Thunderstorm Night
Hearing the slightly tearful voice coming from the other end of the phone, Chen Yan's heart tightened instantly, and he stood up and quickly asked:

"What happened, Nuna?"

"Thunder. Thunder. I'm scared."

Lee Soon-kyu's voice, clearly unsteady on his feet, came through again.

As Chen Yan walked outside, he asked, "Nuna, where are you now?"

"At home!"

Another flash of lightning streaked across the window, followed by another deafening clap of thunder, and a scream came from the phone.

"Nuna, wait for me at home, I'll be there soon."

After closing the door, Chen Yan, wearing slippers, glanced at the elevator stopped on the top floor, jogged to the stairwell, opened the door, and quickly went downstairs.

He held the phone to his ear with one hand and said, "I'll be there soon, Nuna."

He momentarily forgot that Lee Soon-kyu had experienced the Gulf War when he lived in Kuwait with his family as a child, and since then he has suffered from post-war syndrome, becoming extremely sensitive to sounds similar to explosions and having stress reactions.

The loud thunder must have caused her panic.

Running and jumping, Chen Yan arrived at the 9th floor and jogged to Li Shungui's door, quickly entering the password to open it.

The door opened, and Chen Yan walked in quickly, saying, "Nuna, I'm home. Where are you?"

"Bedroom."

He quickly walked to the bedroom door, opened it, and saw a petite figure curled up on the bed, covered by a blanket. Chen Yan quickly walked to the bedside.

Instead of immediately reaching out to pat Lee Soon-kyu, she spoke first, "Noona, are you alright?"

The blanket was slowly lifted, and Lee Soon-kyu peeked out. After seeing Chen Yan standing by the bed, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I...I didn't."

She had just opened her mouth when another clap of thunder boomed outside.

"what!"

Lee Soon-kyu immediately screamed, her curled-up body trembling violently.

Chen Yan quickly squatted down, covered her ears with his hands, and comforted her, "Nuna, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

A warm sensation came from my slightly cool ears, and soothing voices kept coming from my ear.

After a short while, Lee Soon-kyu's trembling subsided, and his breathing gradually became steady.

She met Chen Yan's worried eyes for a few seconds, then let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Chen Yan asked, "Are you alright, Nuna? Are you feeling any better?"

"Ah."

Lee Soon-kyu responded softly, his gaze sweeping over Chen Yan's legs as he squatted down.

"Xiao Yan, get up and sit on the bed."

"okay."

Chen Yan got up and sat on the edge of the bed. Throughout the process, he never let go of Li Shungui's ears with his hands.

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Chen Yan saw that the older woman wanted to get up, so he immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her along.

The moment he grasped her hand, he immediately felt the cold sweat on Lee Soon-kyu's soft little hand.

Chen Yan didn't let go; instead, he gripped her hands even tighter, wanting to give Li Shungui a greater sense of security.

He glanced at the woman's slightly disheveled hair, reached out to tidy it up for her, and asked softly:

"Nuna, are you alright?"

"never mind."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded, let out another soft sigh of relief, pouted slightly, and muttered:
"Oh my god, that scared me to death! I left my earphones in my dorm and couldn't find them for ages. Then the thunder suddenly went off like that, like it exploded. It really scared me to death."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms, but that's probably over by now. You can hardly hear any thunder anymore."

"Who knew the thunder would be so loud this time?"

"Adu"

A message notification sound came from Chen Yan's phone at that moment.

Chen Yan glanced at it: "It's news about Taeyeon noona. Noona, let me take a look first."

"it is good."

Chen Yan released his right hand from Li Shungui's small hand and picked up the phone next to him.

Lee Soon-kyu looked at her hand that had been released and pursed her lips slightly.

The disappearance of warmth from her hands made her feel inexplicably insecure.

She needs security right now.

Chen Yan picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened Kakao.

Kim Tae-yeon sent two messages.

Noona (a fan): Xiaoyan, Tiffany said Sunkyu went to our neighborhood tonight. Why don't you go to her house and see her?

My favorite Nuna: I just called her, but her phone kept saying she was on another call. There was a lot of thunder outside, and I was a little worried about her.

Just as Chen Yan was about to reply to the message, he felt a soft touch on his left hand.

He glanced to the side and saw that Lee Soon-kyu was holding his left hand with both of her hands, and holding it quite tightly.

Noticing Chen Yan's gaze, Lee Soon-kyu was slightly taken aback, glanced at his phone, and then realized what was happening.

"Oh, you want to type, right?"

She was about to temporarily return Chen Yan's left hand to him when Chen Yan smiled and said:

"It's okay, Nuna, you can type with one hand."

"Oh."

Lee Soon-kyu responded, and immediately clenched his fist again after loosening his grip slightly.

Yes, you can type with one hand.

I won't give your left hand back yet.

Chen Yan typed on the virtual keyboard with his right hand to reply to the message.

Chen Yan: It's okay, Nuna. Sunny called me just now. I'm at her house now. She's fine, so you don't need to worry.

He forgot to hang up after he came in. He only realized it when he saw Kim Tae-yeon's message and then hung up. That's why Kim Tae-yeon's call to Lee Soon-kyu was always busy.

Kim Tae-yeon replied quickly: Oh, that's good. I just finished my schedule and am on my way back. Call me if you need anything.

Chen Yan: Okay, Nuna, you should also tell the others so they don't need to worry.

Nuna (who likes it): Okay, I understand.

Putting down his phone, Chen Yan naturally pulled Lee Soon-kyu's left hand and held it tightly, looking at her and smiling:
“Taeyeon noona heard the thunder outside and was a little worried about you, so she messaged me to come and check on you, noona.”

"Oh."

Lee Soon-kyu nodded, then suddenly smiled, as if he had thought of something.

"So, Xiaoyan, you told Taeyeon that you're in my house now?"

"correct."

Aren't you afraid Taeyeon will misunderstand?

Chen Yan blinked and looked down at the two hands he and the older woman were holding.

If he didn't know Lee Soon-kyu's personality, he would have really thought that Lee Soon-kyu's words were just idle chatter.

And it's the kind of tea with a very strong flavor.

"You're even joking now, so it seems you're really alright, Nuna."

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and said, "Of course, who am I? I'm Sunny."

Seeing this, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Should we loosen your grip on my hand first before saying this? That would make it more believable." He thought to himself, but said aloud, "Yes, yes, yes, Nuna is the best."

The two sat and chatted for a while, and Chen Yan glanced around the bedroom.

Lee Soon-kyu's bedroom was nothing special, after all, it was a rented house, and the furnishings were very simple, with nothing special about it. The sheets and blankets were also simple white.

He looked away, thought for a moment, and prepared to let go of Lee Soon-kyu's hand: "Noona, I'll go first."

"You're not allowed to leave."

Chen Yan was stunned.

Lee Soon-kyu realized what she had just said, and her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still said confidently:

"Xiaoyan, didn't you say it was a thunderstorm? What if it thunders again after you leave?"

Chen Yan couldn't help but smile upon hearing this: "Nuna, I'm not leaving. I was just thinking of going to the kitchen to get you a glass of water."

"Oh, then you go ahead."

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."

After watching Chen Yan leave the bedroom, Lee Soon-kyu looked away, glanced down at her hands that had just been clasped tightly with Chen Yan's, and then looked out the window.

Although the curtains were drawn in the bedroom, she could still clearly hear the pattering rain outside.

"It's still raining outside. It looks like the thunder might sound again anytime soon."

Lee Soon-kyu muttered to himself.

Soon, Chen Yan returned with a glass of water in his hand and handed it to her.

“Here you go, Nuna.”

"Thank you."

Lee Soon-kyu took the water, tilted his head back slightly, and drank it in small sips.

Chen Yan sat down again beside her, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over her.

When he landed on the towering peak, he was momentarily stunned, but quickly looked away.

I was worried about this woman's condition and didn't notice that she was wearing nothing underneath.

But since everyone's at home getting ready for bed, it's normal not to wear anything.

Since we can't look at the top, let's look at the bottom.

My gaze followed the pajamas and shorts downwards, finally settling on those fair and slender legs.

Although Lee Soon-kyu is petite, she has a good body proportion, with rounded and slender legs and delicate and smooth skin.

Further down, there are those delicate and adorable little feet.

Because of her petite stature, Chen Yan estimated that her small feet were at most a size 36.

Fine blue veins were faintly visible on the smooth, white surface of her feet, and the size of the veins was indeed very well-matched to her small feet.

The ten toes are as white and tender as bamboo shoots, with a touch of healthy red at the tip of each toe, instantly adding to their healthy beauty.

The toenails were painted with a flesh-pink nail polish, which complemented the touch of red at the tips of the toes, making the little feet even more delicate and cute.

Suddenly, Chen Yan's toes twitched slightly, and then he heard Li Shungui's voice in his ear:

"What, Xiaoyan, do you want to touch me?"

Chen Yan turned his head and saw Lee Soon-kyu supporting herself on the bed with her hands behind her back, her upper body slightly leaning back, her beautiful eyes looking at him with a strange smile in them.

"No, I was just thinking about whether to give Nuna a foot massage to help you relax so you can sleep better at night."

Lee Soon-kyu looked at him with suspicion: "Xiao Yan, you know foot massage?"

"Of course, my massage skills are pretty good. If you don't believe me, you can ask Taozi. I gave her a really comfortable massage last time."

"Tch, I won't ask. Shirley spoils you the most, she'll definitely agree with whatever you say."

Hey, you just don't believe me, huh?

To prove himself, Chen Yan reached out and grabbed Li Shungui's small feet, placed them on his own lap, and began to move them around, pressing on the acupoints.

"Hey"

Seeing this, Lee Soon-kyu made a token shout, and then stopped moving.

They've already shared a bed, so touching feet is nothing to them.

Besides, she washed her feet, so they won't smell.

With her tacit approval, Chen Yan smiled and focused on giving her a foot massage.

This woman's feet are indeed very small; I could easily hold them in one hand, just like a child's.

After a long while, the foot massage session came to an end.

Chen Yan gently placed Li Shungui's delicate white feet back on the bed, looked at her, and smiled:
"Alright, Nuna, do you feel a little more relaxed now?"

Lee Soon-kyu's face flushed slightly, and she looked at him with some surprise: "Xiao Yan, you really know how to massage."

"That's right, I already told you to trust me, Nuna. I'll go wash my hands first."

Watching Chen Yan walk out of the bedroom, Lee Soon-kyu looked at her still slightly hot little feet and couldn't help but smile.

Soon, Chen Yan walked back, picked up the phone that was placed next to Li Shungui's feet, and glanced at the time.

It's almost one o'clock.

Just as he was about to speak, Lee Soon-kyu suddenly spoke first, "Xiao Yan, are you sensitive to different beds?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Then you can sleep here tonight. I don't know if it will thunder again tonight. If it thunders again later, I'll feel bad calling you to wake you up."

Lee Soon-kyu gestured to the spot next to him with her eyes: "It's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before."

She spoke in a casual tone, as if she were talking about a very normal little thing.

Moreover, the reasons were sufficient and reasonable, which made Chen Yan nod in agreement.

"it is good."

So a moment later.

pat.

Chen Yan turned off the bedroom light with his outstretched hand, and there was another person on the bed.

In the darkness, Lee Soon-kyu stared silently at the ceiling with her beautiful eyes for a long while before speaking:

"Xiaoyan, are you asleep?"

"Not yet. If I really fall asleep that quickly, Nuna will probably glare at me angrily, or even wake me up."

Chen Yan's voice rang out beside her, tinged with amusement: "Because this is tantamount to belittling Nuna's charm."

Hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu smiled and said, "You know a lot, Xiao Yan. Of course, how could a scumbag not know this?"

"But even if you compliment me on my charm, you can't reach out your hand. I didn't say I was going to give you a reward. Last time I offered you one, you refused it."

The bedroom was quiet for a few seconds before Chen Yan's voice rang out again, sounding somewhat low.

"Nuna, the location was inappropriate that time. I couldn't very well reach out to you at the toilet door."

"Really? So, in other words, you'd dare to make a move in a different, more suitable place, Xiaoyan? Well, if I were to say now, to thank you for taking care of me tonight, I'd give you a reward..."

The words stopped abruptly, the smile in Lee Soon-kyu's bright eyes vanished instantly, and her pupils contracted sharply.

Because the smile had shifted to the bright eyes of the man in front of her.

Feeling the long-lost yet ever-present softness, smoothness, and warmth emanating from his fingertips, Chen Yan looked at the somewhat dazed woman before him and smiled:

"Nuna, you can't keep provoking a scumbag like that, or you'll suffer the consequences."

After a few seconds of eye contact, Lee Soon-kyu refocused her eyes, blinked, looked at Chen Yan for a few seconds, and then smiled.

"Really? What kind of bad consequences? I'd love to try them."
