Swallowing the Starry Sky: Rebirth of the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Many Children and Many Blessings

Lei Dong's behavior was beyond Jiang Nannan's expectations. Her heartbeat quickened and the blush on her face became more obvious.

She wanted to break free, but found that her strength became insignificant under Lei Dong's control.

"Lei Dong, what are you doing?"

There was a slight tremor in Jiang Nannan's voice and panic flashed in her eyes.

Lei Dong's eyes were deep and his voice was low and powerful.

"Nannan, I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things I can't tell you right now. I need you to keep silent, at least until the right time comes."

Jiang Nannan felt Lei Dong's seriousness and realized the seriousness of the matter.

She nodded and said softly, "I understand, Lei Dong. I won't tell anyone what happened today."

Lei Dong let go of Jiang Nannan's hand, and his expression softened a little.

"Thank you for your understanding, Nan Nan. I won't let you put yourself in any danger. But now, I need your trust."

Jiang Nannan took a deep breath. She knew she had been involved in a complicated situation.

But she also understood that the matter between Lei Dong and Wang Dong was not something she could easily interfere in.

"I can trust you, Lei Dong. But you must also promise not to let Wang Dong get hurt."

Jiang Nannan's voice was firm and her eyes revealed her concern for her friend.

Lei Dong nodded, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.

"I promise, Nan Nan. Wang Dong's safety is my biggest concern."

"Haha, I believe you, you can go back!"

After Jiang Nannan left Lei Dong and Wang Dong's room, the scene just now kept echoing in her mind.

She thought she would feel uneasy or angry because of Lei Dong's sudden action, but unexpectedly, she found that she was not disgusted by Lei Dong's approach.

On the contrary, she felt a subtle throbbing in her heart, and she actually liked the feeling of being hugged by Lei Dong.

This change of emotion confused her and even frightened her.

She had never felt this way about any man, especially in an environment like Shrek Academy. She had always been proud of her independence and strength.

But now, Lei Dong's appearance seemed to break certain boundaries in her heart.

"What's wrong with me?"

Jiang Nannan decided to put aside these complicated emotions for the time being. She returned to her room and tried to calm down through practice.

She closed her eyes and began to circulate her soul power, trying to focus on her cultivation rather than on those confusing emotions.

However, whenever she closed her eyes, Lei Dong's figure would involuntarily appear in her mind.

His every move, every smile, even the depth in his eyes, made her heart beat faster.

Jiang Nannan realized that she might not only not be disgusted by Lei Dong's approach, but she might really be starting to like this man.

This realization made her feel a little panic.

The relationship between Lei Dong and Wang Dong is complicated, and she doesn't want to be an obstacle between them.

But at the same time, she couldn't ignore her true feelings.

Jiang Nannan was in a complicated mood. She paced in her room, unable to calm the throbbing in her heart.

According to common sense, she should stay away from Lei Dong and avoid being involved in the complicated relationship between him and Wang Dong.

However, her heart was uncontrollably attracted to Lei Dong.

His mystery, power, and concern for her touched her unconsciously.

As night fell, Jiang Nannan finally couldn't bear it anymore. She decided to find Lei Dong, wanting to figure out the confusion in her heart and to know more about this man who made her heart beat.

She knew it might be an impulsive decision, but her heart was filled with curiosity and desire for Leidong.

Jiang Nannan walked out of her room and headed towards Lei Dong and Wang Dong's residence.

Her heart beat faster and faster, and her palms even ooze sweat. When she came to the thundering door, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

The door opened and Lei Dong appeared at the door. He was obviously surprised to see Jiang Nannan.

"Nannan? It's so late, is there something wrong?" There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Jiang Nannan's throat was a little tight, and she tried to make her voice sound calm: "Lei Dong, I...I want to talk to you."

Lei Dong nodded, he moved aside to let Jiang Nannan enter the room.

He closed the door and turned to face Jiang Nannan: "What happened, Nannan?"

Jiang Nannan's heart was full of contradictions and she didn't know how to start.

She took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage.

"Lei Dong, I...I found that my feelings towards you are a little different. I don't know why, but I don't want to escape this feeling."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lei Dong's eyes. He did not expect Jiang Nannan to express her feelings so directly.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"Nannan, I'm glad that you trust me and are willing to share your feelings with me. But I must be honest with you. I already have Wang Dong, and I can't make any promises to you."

Jiang Nannan's heart ached, she knew that Lei Dong's words were sincere.

She nodded, trying not to sound so shaky in her voice.

"I understand, Lei Dong. I don't expect anything, I just don't want my feelings to become a barrier between us."

Lei Dong sighed softly, he walked to Jiang Nannan and patted her shoulder gently.

"Nannan, you are a good girl and you deserve someone better. I don't want my presence to bother you."

A glimmer of tears flashed in Jiang Nannan's eyes. She knew that Lei Dong's words were well-intentioned.

She raised her head and looked into Lei Dong's eyes.

"Lei Dong, I just need time to sort out my feelings. I will try my best to control myself and not make you and Wang Dong feel uncomfortable."

Seeing the tears flashing in Jiang Nannan's eyes, Lei Dong felt a little bit reluctant.

He knew that this strong girl was going through an emotional struggle at the moment, and her vulnerability made him feel responsible.

Lei Dong no longer kept his distance, but gently reached out his hand and gently embraced Jiang Nannan in his arms.

"Nannan, don't cry."

Lei Dong's voice was gentle and comforting. "I understand your feelings, but you have to believe that you are never alone."

Jiang Nannan's body trembled slightly. She originally thought that Lei Dong would distance himself from her because of her emotions, but she didn't expect that he would choose this way to comfort her.

Her emotions found an outlet in Lei Dong's arms, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Lei Dong patted Jiang Nannan's back gently, letting her cry freely in his arms.

Sometimes a warm hug is more powerful than any words.

"Thank you, Lei Dong."

Jiang Nannan's voice was choked with sobs. She raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you for not pushing me away."

Lei Dong smiled and shook his head: "Nan Nan, you don't need to thank me. We don't need this. You are a good girl, you deserve to be treated gently by this world." (End of this chapter)
