Chapter 54

Cheng Huaian's words were like a thorn. Although there was no evidence, based on Rong Susu's understanding of him, he must have known something and would not say so for no reason. Yan Jiayu was most likely lying.

If he didn't go to Yicheng, then where did he go? Rong Susu was a little upset that he had to lie to cover it up.

According to the latest news from the Meteorological Bureau, a typhoon will land tonight, and citizens are required to stay at home as much as possible and not go out. Rong Susu also asked employees to leave work early, close the doors and windows, and block the door with sandbags. As the boss, she was also the last one to leave the company.

In the afternoon, she called Xu Jinhua and asked them to lock the doors and windows of the house, and then take Cancan to stay in a hotel.

The house in Xiaotai Lane is old, and this time it is a super typhoon, she is worried and must let her parents stay in a hotel. In fact, they should have stayed in her house, but when she thought about the person living next door, Cheng Huaian, in order to avoid Xu Jinhua getting angry when she saw him, the hotel was more appropriate.

After arranging everything, she received a call from Cheng Huaian, asking her why she hadn't returned home yet.

"Rong Susu, the wind is blowing now, you should hurry back." Cheng Huaian arranged the company affairs early. Except for the necessary on-duty personnel, everyone else had to go home.

When he came back, he found that Aunt Wang and Rong Susu were not there either.

In such typhoon weather, Aunt Wang also had to go back to look after her own home. She told Rong Susu in advance and prepared several buckets of water and fully charged flashlights for her in case of water and power outages.

"Susu, Mr. Cheng is next door. If you are too scared, ask him to come and accompany you." Before leaving, Aunt Wang repeatedly reminded her that if Cheng Huaian had not been there, she would not have been able to leave with peace of mind.

Rong Susu was a little uncomfortable being alone at home. She heated up her dinner, took a few bites, and then decided to take a shower and lie down on the bed.

When I came out of the shower, there was a raging wind outside, with lightning and thunder. The windows were rattling, and even the street lights were flickering. The trees in the courtyard were bent and swaying.

It's really scary, Rong Susu thought. She saw through the window that the light in Cheng Huaian's bedroom was still on, so she picked up her phone and sent him a WeChat message.

[Is it safer to stay in the basement now? ]

[Are you scared?] The other party replied almost instantly.

[Haha, how is that possible?] Rong Susu rolled her eyes again, telling him to look down on others.

【Where is Aunt Wang? 】

【I'm back home.】

Leaving Rong Susu alone at home in such weather? Cheng Huaian frowned. The thunder was quite frequent at the moment, so he switched to using the landline to make a call.

"Rong Susu, are you home alone?"

"Aren't you? Hiding someone at home?"

Rong Susu leaned on the bed, scrolling through her Moments boredly. All of the messages were about typhoon prevention. Many people's communities had already started to have power outages, and their homes were pitch black.

When she came back just now, she saw that the community property was still doing various protective engineering works. She thought that there should be no power outage in their community, so she was not afraid even if there was a power outage, because her power bank was fully charged and she also had several flashlights.

A low laugh came from her ears. She didn't know if it was because of the bad signal, but at that moment it felt like two poles of electricity were rubbing against each other, and she actually felt her heart tremble.

The two of them were chatting casually like this, when suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone broke this rare peace.

"Susu, I'm sorry, the flight was cancelled due to the typhoon. I may not be able to go to Licheng this weekend."

There was a lot of noise coming from Yan Jiayu's end, and it could be heard that he was at the airport. His voice sounded a little anxious, and he must have been upset by the weather.

Rong Susu quickly comforted him and said it was okay, "Just stay here, there's no point in getting anxious at this time."

After hanging up the phone, her heart sank slightly. There was no typhoon in Yicheng. She had checked the weather forecast in the afternoon, so where was Yan Jiayu now?

Instead of thinking like this, it is better to ask in person. Rong Susu is not the kind of person who wastes time on internal conflicts, so she decided to go to sleep directly. Just as she was about to lie down, she suddenly found that the landline seemed to be on.

"Hello!" She subconsciously picked up the receiver and shouted towards the other end.

"I heard everything." Cheng Huaian's calm voice was in stark contrast to Rong Susu's exasperated voice. "Why didn't you hang up?"

"I'm right, right?" He chuckled. There was no need to add fuel to the fire, because his opponent had already revealed his weakness in a desperate situation.

It was all her fault for not hanging up the phone just now. Now, Cheng Huaian was going to be complacent again. Rong Susu was a little annoyed. The peaceful atmosphere just now was no longer there. Just when she was about to fight back, the room suddenly became dark.

"Are you asleep?" Cheng Huaian asked. He saw that Rong Susu's bedroom suddenly became dark and there was no light.

"Cheng Huaian." Rong Susu's voice was a little weak. He subconsciously hummed, and then he heard someone on the other end start to cry. "It seems like there's a power outage."

Looking at the bright lights in his home, Cheng Huaian laughed a little, "Rong Susu, there's no power outage, it's the circuit breaker at home that tripped."

Five minutes later, when he opened the door, he almost tripped over a pile of things under his feet. The house was already several steps higher than the yard, so why were there sandbags piled up in the house?

Cheng Huaian turned on the flashlight and walked into the equipment room with ease. He opened the distribution box and found that the switch marked for the master bedroom was indeed turned on. The main switch was also affected. He raised his hand and pushed it up, and immediately heard the beeping sound of the equipment starting up.

"Rong Susu." Cheng Huaian returned to the bedroom on the second floor, turned the doorknob and found that it was locked. Half a minute later, someone opened the door for him.

Rong Susu is a fearless person, except for two things: insects and darkness. She was so scared just now that she hid in the quilt like an ostrich, trembling.

Now that the lights were on, she was no longer afraid. Looking at Cheng Huaian, who looked like he had just stepped out of the bath, covered in moisture, she laughed inappropriately and used her hand to lift his hair, "Why do you look like you just stepped out of the bathhouse?"

Heartless, she went out for a walk and tried it. As soon as she went out, Cheng Huaian decisively gave up holding an umbrella. At such a close distance, the strong wind made it difficult for people to stand steadily. He walked for five minutes. If it was Rong Susu, she would have been blown away directly.

Cheng Huaian never takes a bath in public. He can't accept it and gets goosebumps just thinking about it.

She felt that she had gone too far. Looking at Cheng Huaian's moist eyes, which contained an obvious warning, Rong Susu covered her mouth and dared not laugh anymore.

"I'm leaving." Cheng Huaian turned around with a cold face and was about to leave. His whole body was wet, and the cloth stuck to his body, feeling cold and greasy. He didn't like this feeling.

Just as he turned around, the corner of his clothes was pulled.

"Hey, don't go back. It's scary outside." Rong Susu tried to persuade him to stay. Their eyes met and there was magnetic friction. She felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at him. She turned away quickly, but she didn't let go of the corner of his clothes.

In fact, she didn't dare to stay alone, and Cheng Huaian didn't want to expose it. Since she was trying hard to keep her, he could only obey her respectfully, otherwise it would be too unkind.

There were no men's toiletries in the bedroom bathroom. In the shower room, he picked up Rong Susu's shower gel. There was a white camellia printed on the black bottle, just like the faint fragrance on her body, lingering.

The shampoo was the same type, and the mist covered the mirror. Cheng Huaian raised his hand to wipe it away, revealing the smooth mirror surface. If he stayed tonight, something would definitely happen.

When he made up his mind, Rong Susu was also struggling with her conscience. When she heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop and then the sound of a hair dryer, her heart beat faster and faster, and she even swallowed nervously.

Rong Susu, you are so useless. What's so scary about the dark? It will pass when you fall asleep. Why do you insist on letting people stay? At this time, another voice in my heart said that it was windy and rainy outside, and people came to help out of kindness, how could you chase them away?

When the two villains were fighting, suddenly, everything in front of them turned dark again.

"Rong Susu, is there any high-power electrical appliance in use in the bedroom?" Cheng Huaian turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and began to check. When the circuit breaker tripped for the first time, Rong Susu did not use the hair dryer, which meant that there was another high-power electrical appliance in the room.

High-power electrical appliances?

Rong Susu thought of the beauty device she had just bought. Oh, it seemed to be always charging.

"Throw it away." Cheng Huaian suggested. This is just like not using high-power electrical appliances in a dormitory. The circuit breaker will trip if it is overloaded.

It costs tens of thousands of dollars, and it’s new. Rong Susu hasn’t even used it once or twice. She feels a little distressed.

"These products are totally useless. Unscrupulous merchants are taking advantage of your anxiety about your appearance." Cheng Huaian sneered at this. He really couldn't understand why Rong Susu had to be anxious about her appearance. If even she was like this, there was no point in living for others.

So he threw the things into the trash can without hesitation, opened the door and prepared to go to the equipment room.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Rong Susu followed him closely, looking like a loser, as if she was afraid that Cheng Huaian was going to run away.

She seldom went to the underground floor, and the number of times she set foot in the equipment room was even fewer. Following the light from Cheng Huaian's phone, she saw him open a box labeled "distribution box," which contained two neatly arranged rows of switches.

Cheng Huaian pointed at the switch and said to her, "Each switch here is labeled with the room. You see, the others are all fine, only the one in the master bedroom is tripped."

Then he moved the phone to the side. "This is the main switch. When it's overloaded, it will automatically trip for protection."

Oh, Rong Susu got a new skill and was eager to try it out when she heard Cheng Huaian order, "Rong Susu, push them up."

She did so obediently.

Cheng Huaian's kiss came with an electric current. The moment his eyes lit up, Rong Susu turned around, and in the moment she was caught off guard, her lips were sealed.

Woo woo…

She only struggled symbolically for a moment before she was defeated and thrown away her armor.

The line was clearly energized, but why did it seem as if she was also energized? She felt numb all over and closed her eyes without thinking too much, then raised her hands to hook the other person's broad shoulders.
