The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Yuze, do you know? When I was eight years old, on a rainy night just like tonight, I saw an old man get struck dead by lightning right before my eyes. It was so scary! Ever since that year, I've been afraid whenever there's thunder. I know lightning won't necessarily strike me, but... but I just can't help being scared," the young woman said, her face gradually paling. She was trembling uncontrollably, clutching Zhang Yuze tightly, her small head pressed against his shoulder. Her fragile state evoked a sense of pity.

"Boom! Boom!" Deafening thunderclaps continued to echo around them. Because of their elevated position, the thunder seemed to be right next to them.

"Damn it, strike again! If you've got the guts, strike me dead!" Zhang Yuze thought, growing angry, and gave the sky a contemptuous middle finger.

But to Zhang Yuze's surprise, just as he finished the gesture, a streak of light flashed from the horizon towards him, disappearing about ten meters in front of him. Although it didn't hit him directly, it still made him break out in a cold sweat!

"Uh, don't take it so seriously, I was just kidding," Zhang Yuze quickly said, clasping his hands together and forcing a smile.

He glanced at the young woman in his arms, her face pale with fright. Fortunately, she hadn't noticed, or she would have been terrified.

However, Zhang Yuze was somewhat surprised to find that the young woman in his arms had actually fallen asleep at this moment. This discovery left him speechless. Was his embrace really that safe? But in order to let her sleep comfortably, Zhang Yuze was in a dilemma, his arm frozen in place, afraid to move, forced to let her lean on him like this.

Zhang Yuze gently brushed away the slightly disheveled hair from her face, his tenderness like that of a husband caring for his wife.

Zhang Yuze truly liked the young woman. The first time he saw her, he had a strange feeling, as if something would happen between them in the future. But even now, Zhang Yuze's relationship with Xiaolu was very close, but there hadn't been any real progress. Even now, Zhang Yuze didn't know what kind of feelings the young woman had for him. Perhaps she just saw him as her little brother!
