CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 676: CLOTHES, SOAKED THROUGH

Rustle--

Just as Shi Keke had read a few lines, the document was snatched away from her hands. She reflexively looked up, only to see Shi Mei crumple the document into a ball, and with a raise of his hand, it flew out of the window.

Shi Keke’s reaction was surprisingly calm; she didn’t even glance in the direction of the window.

Even though the discarded document was irreplaceable and of great importance, her emotions showed no fluctuation whatsoever.

No anger, no questioning, she maintained her original sitting position, quiet as if she didn’t exist.

Shi Mei cast a dispassionate glance at her and said nothing, turning around like nothing happened to sit back on the couch and continue gaming.

He turned up the volume of the speakers a bit, and soon the sound of gunshots could be heard. The noise wasn’t loud, not enough to disturb Wen Wan’s sleep.

Shi Mei rarely played such games, sometimes not even once in a year, but he seemed to have a natural talent for gaming; he played effortlessly despite the infrequency.

Headshots, one after another, aiming straight for the vital spots of his opponents; in just half a minute, he had already taken down several.

The way he gamed, unlike those addicted to internet cafes who practically lived there all year round, was not just different in style but was notably distinct in temperament as well.

He was like a solitary and proud monarch, so perfect it seemed unreal, making one unable to resist the urge to capture his image in a painting.

Shi Keke stood up, glanced at his silhouette, and strode towards him.

Bang!

Another headshot, just as Shi Mei was about to switch weapons for his character, Shi Keke suddenly bent down on his right side, followed the mouse cable to the port, and unplugged it.

The mouse became unresponsive, and his character in the game was killed with a single slash!

Shi Mei’s eyes narrowed instantly, and he turned to look at Shi Keke standing beside him with a dangerous tone, "Is this your revenge?"

Shi Keke ignored him, picked up the mouse, walked to the window, and threw it out.

After tossing the mouse, she glanced at Shi Mei, "Now we’re even."

Finished speaking, she walked out of the ward, intending to retrieve the discarded document.

Because the hospital’s elevator was malfunctioning today, she had to use the stairs. Just as she got down to the sixth floor, lightning split the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder.

Damn, it’s about to rain.

Shi Keke cursed silently, and immediately quickened her pace, rushing downstairs.

Boom--

Following several peals of thunder, dark clouds, like a herd of wild horses charging and roaring, rolled across the night sky, gathering thicker and pressing lower, as if one could almost pull a piece of the sky down with their hands.

Having run to the ground floor in one go, Shi Keke leaned against the wall to catch her breath, then immediately started running outside.

A streak of lightning suddenly flashed, slashing the whole sky like wielding numerous swords.

Along with the lightning came a roll of thunder.

As soon as Shi Keke ran out of the ground floor, dense raindrops fell like thousands of threads, covering her body in droves...

She had no time to seek shelter; her only thought was to retrieve the discarded document as quickly as possible.

She looked up to gauge the position of the ward window and estimated the distance before she began searching around.

Due to the heavy rain, a mist quickly rose in the air, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer of water.

The strong wind blew, lifting layers of water waves, all the while slapping the falling rain onto her body.

Her clothes, completely soaked.
