"Arrghhh.....," Yang Zi screamed leaping up in horror. Yifeng's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard her scream.

All his thought was that something terrible had happened to her. He rushed to her aid without wasting a second. ​​

"What is wrong Yang Zi? Did something bite you? I hope you are alright?," Yifeng asked, examining her body for any sign of injury.

"I'm... I'm.... I'm alright," Yang Zi completed her sentence, but with great difficulty. Her expression gave her away. She looked so scared.

"I can see you are not fine at all so tell me what happened? You are not the easily scared lady so how come you are shivering," Yifeng insisted. He held the restless Yang Zi in place.

"I thought I saw a snake earlier," Yang Zi lied. It seemed like the universe was against her because immediately she lied. The thunder strikes again, this time accompanied with lightning.

"Arrghhh.....," Yang Zi shouted yet again, hopping onto Yifeng's body. Because she took him unaware, he wasn't able to tilt his face sideways so their lips met. They both froze on the spot, their lips on each other's lips. Yang Zi's eyes bulged out as though it would fall out from its socket any moment from then. The startled Yifeng just stared at her without reprimanding her. Yang Zi did not wait for him to speak. She quickly jumped down from his body after she did not hear the thunder again. She turned her back on Yifeng to conceal her flushed face.

"So, you are afraid of thunder? How is that possible? You don't look timid to me, so why are you afraid of thunder out of all the scary things in the world?" Yifeng asked, cleaning his lips. The slight beam on his face showed that he didn't dislike Yang Zi's actions the slightest bit, instead he enjoyed it.

"Who is afraid of thunder? I? You must be kidding me, right?" Yang Zi tried to cover up her fears. She wasn't always afraid of thunder, instead the sound of thunder and rainfall were like music to her ears when she was little. Back then she was always happy whenever there was a downpour, but now the sound of thunder and lightning terrifies her.

The thunder struck again and guess what she did again?

She quickly runs into Yifeng's embrace. What a world! She was disgraced thrice in a row.

Yifeng held himself from laughing, knowing too well that she would get mad if he dared to laugh."She is the weirdest lady I have ever met," Yifeng thought, hugging her back and surprisingly, she did not reject his touch. From the looks of it, it looked like she was longing for someone's embrace. What she needed was not a guy who showered her with gifts, but one who truly understood her. Today was one out of the many days she needed someone who understood her.

"I think it will pour. Let's find a place to take shelter first so we can discuss your fears. And if you need a hug, I will embrace you for as long as you want until you are alright," Yifeng suggested affectionately, gently pulling her away. He held her hand and started searching for a place for them to hide temporarily until the rain which was getting heavier with every passing second subsided. After a long time of searching, they miraculously came across an enormous rock which looked like a cave. They took shelter there. By now Yang Zi's shivering had worsened. She was now holding onto Yifeng for support. Seeing her shiver like this when the rain was just starting, Yifeng was scared on her behalf. He couldn't think of anything to do to make freezing Yang Zi feel warm. He just made his body available for her to hug anyhow she wanted it since that was the only thing he could do in their current predicament.

Back in the resort, all those who went for the hunt returned to the resort before the rain even threatened to fall. No one has ever witnessed a downpour in December before, so everyone was stunned when the cloud darkened. They all assumed that it was a bad omen not knowing that this rain marked the beginning of the love story of the two fellows who were trapped in the forest.

Everyone panicked when Yifeng and Yang Zi did not come back thirty minutes after all the team's return. Just when they were about to go in search of them, the rain which was threatening to fall poured like it was sent to prevent them from going on the search. After one hour of heavy downpour, anxiety masked the faces of all BEST Enterprises employees. Everyone was too anxious to sit down. They all paced about in the enormous hall. The usually calm and composed Su Jin became anxious. Wen Min almost went crazy knowing that the two people she cared about were trapped in the dreadful forest. After two hours of waiting, Mrs Wang called the police and the emergency team for help according to Su Jin's instructions.

Back in Queen's City, Xiao Bai bit her lips till it almost bled as she watched the heavy downpour. An hour ago, she attempted to travel to the resort BEST Enterprises was holding their annual holiday after noticing the change in the atmosphere but Shiyi prevented her from doing so. He told her it was too late and there was nothing they could do because they would certainly get stuck on the road if they embarked on the journey.

"Please Zi Er, nothing must happen to you. Hang in there until the rain subsides because I will definitely come to rescue you," Shui Shui said, pacing about the sitting room.

"Zi Er, you must stay safe. Shui Shui and I will definitely come to your aid," Shiyi who was cupping his face with his palms prayed silently.

Mrs Yang could not sit at a place. Fear was clear on her face as she walked around the room. No matter how many times the nanny tried to assure her that everything would be fine, her mind was still not at peace.

"Zi Er, nothing must happen to you or I will never forgive myself for telling you to go on the trip," Mrs Yang mumbled worriedly. They were all scared on Yang Zi's behalf. They knew the state she was always in whenever it rained, so the thought of that scared the hell out of them.
