"Hm?!"
Suddenly, a thunderbolt jolted Shang Ruyi awake from her drowsiness. She opened her eyes wide, looking around in confusion. At the sound, Tushere immediately came in and cautiously asked, "Princess, what's the matter?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi did not speak immediately, actually feeling a bit at a loss.
She looked at Tushere again, then at the half-open window beside her and the azure sky outside. After a while, she softly said, "I, I just heard thunder."
Tushere walked over and said, "It was dry thunder, it often happens in the summer."
"Hmm."
Shang Ruyi responded absentmindedly. Indeed, it wasn't the first time she had heard summer's dry thunder, but for some reason, that thunderclap just now was exceptionally deafening, echoing throughout the world. It even seemed not to come from the sky but from her heart.
That ominous premonition left her feeling very uneasy.
After thinking for a while, she asked, "What time is it now?"
"Almost 3:00 PM."
