Mu Yuze probably also thought it was a bit impolite. He averted his eyes slightly and whispered, "Endure it for a while. It'll be okay once we get out."
Silence fell between them again. Mu Yuze stood not far from Lu Xue and continued to tap on the window with the things beside him from time to time, trying to attract the attention of the people below with the tapping sound.
Lu Xue was wrapped in Mu Yuze's shirt. With her back turned to him, she silently stared at the clouds in the distance, her ears slightly flushed.
The shirt on her body seemed to still carry the man's body temperature. Covering her, it gave her goosebumps layer by layer.
Lu Xue always thought she was extremely insensitive to feelings, but at this very moment, the feeling of being cared for, concerned about, and cherished touched her heart that had been numb for a long time.
The two had been locked on the terrace for more than half an hour, but no one outside had noticed their disappearance yet.
Mu Yuze felt that something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Just then, the wind on the rooftop grew stronger, and a dark cloud rolled towards them.
Lu Xue pointed at the cloud in the distance worriedly and said, "It seems like it's going to rain soon. What shall we do then?"
They looked around. There was no place to take shelter from the rain. If it really rained, they would have to stand on the terrace and get soaked.
Ten minutes later, those clouds indeed drifted towards them with the wind. The thing Lu Xue was most worried about finally happened.
A few minutes later, fine raindrops began to fall from the sky. After a few more minutes, the light rain gradually turned into thicker raindrops.
They had no choice but to stand on the edge of the terrace and get drenched.
Mu Yuze motioned for Lu Xue to stand in the innermost place. He held his shirt high above their heads, using it as a piece of cloth to shield them from the rain.
Lu Xue was nestled in Mu Yuze's arms. They were so close that their shoulders were almost touching, and they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Before long, the rain turned into a downpour. With the strong wind blowing, all the rain splashed onto them.
At first, Mu Yuze held Lu Xue close to him and used the shirt to block the rain above their heads. But as the wind grew stronger and the rain became more torrential, the white shirt on top was almost useless. It was quickly soaked through, and the raindrops trickled through, drenching their heads. Soon, Lu Xue and Mu Yuze were as wet as two drowned rats.
Mu Yuze sighed and had no choice but to change his strategy.
Since the wind was blowing from the northwest, directly towards them, Mu Yuze simply adjusted their postures slightly.
Lu Xue stood on the inner side, while he stood on the outer side, shielding her from the oncoming wind and rain.
Facing Lu Xue, he protected the girl between his chest. One hand propped against the wall, his body leaned forward slightly, and his chin rested on Lu Xue's hair. This posture formed a small triangular space that just protected Lu Xue under him.
The wind and rain grew stronger, but all the rain hit Mu Yuze's back. Lu Xue was protected in a relatively safe area.
When Lu Xue looked up, she could see the rain sliding down Mu Yuze's neck and collarbone. He was being washed by the rain.
Lu Xue felt a bit sad, but at this moment, whatever she did would only be a burden to Mu Yuze.
She carefully placed the soaked white shirt on Mu Yuze's back.
"Cover yourself with the shirt. It's better than nothing. Maybe it can block a bit more wind and rain for you."
Mu Yuze let out a bitter laugh in her ear and said hoarsely, "It's useless. This shirt is already soaked."
Lu Xue didn't say anything else. The rain outside was getting more and more violent, and both of them were feeling uncomfortable.
For a moment, Lu Xue felt that this scene in front of her was stretched infinitely long, as if it would last a lifetime.
On this windy and rain - lashed rooftop, she even had the illusion that her whole life was here.
She could feel Mu Yuze's scorching body temperature. The chin resting on her head was so hot that it almost burned her.
She reached out her hand and wiped the rainwater flowing down from Mu Yuze's eyelashes.
Since Mu Yuze was using one hand to support the wall and the other to hold her shoulder, he had no hand to wipe the rain off his face.
Lu Xue simply wiped the rain off his face again and again without getting tired, so that he could see the scene in front of him clearly.
This hand - raising action was repeated hundreds of times. Finally, hurried footsteps came from below.
Aunt Chen shouted at the front, "They're over there! They're over there!! Hurry up and find someone! Hurry up and rescue them!!"
Then there was a flurry of activity. It seemed that many people rushed to the window to try to push it open. Many people called the ambulance, and some people were making a racket to break the window.
