Nearly half the sky was lit up by that bolt of lightning and an ear-splitting crash of thunder ensued, jolting Xu Weilai awake.
She rubbed her eyes and got up from the sofa to walk over to the window. When she flung open the curtains and looked outside, she realised that it had started to rain.
Nothing could be more annoying than a rainy day when one was out on a trip. Besides, the rain couldn't have come at a more unfortunate timing.
However, it was most conducive to sleep on rainy days. After Xu Weilai closed the window to prevent the rain from splashing in, she turned and strolled back to the bed where she laid down, hugged her pillow and closed her eyes shut.
There was a constant rumble of thunder outside and the sound of the pouring rain got increasingly louder. Xu Weilai quickly fell into a slumber as she listened to the sound of the rain. Just when she was semi-conscious, her phone began to ring.
