Thankfully, she managed to walk past the two people safely without incident, and only after entering the elevator and leaving them outside could she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wow, that was close!"
But there's also a saying: extreme joy begets sorrow.
She was only happy for a few seconds when the elevator suddenly stopped just as the doors were about to close completely.
Then, with a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened again, signaling that someone was about to enter.
Just as the door was halfway open, Su Yuxi saw that the person standing outside was Lu Yunzhou. Her mind went blank, and it was too late to hide behind Fu Huaijin.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but driven by instinct, she lightly threw herself into Fu Huaijin's arms, wrapped her small hands around his waist, and with a forceful twist, the two switched positions in an instant.
The man's tall figure completely blocked her view, preventing her from being seen.
From an outsider's perspective, it appears as if Fu Huaijin has almost domineeringly pinned a woman against the wall inside the elevator, their figures pressed tightly together, creating an intensely ambiguous atmosphere that sparks much speculation.
Fu Huaijin was caught off guard by the hug, but he reacted quickly, adjusting himself and bracing himself against the elevator wall with one hand to steady himself. He then instinctively reached his other hand through her waist to firmly block her from view.
He lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms, his sharp eyebrows furrowed, and surprise flashed in his dark eyes. When he felt the touch of those small hands on his waist, all the muscles in his body tensed up suddenly.
Su Yuxi touched her suddenly tense waist muscles and realized what she had done. She raised her head slightly and looked at the man who was so close to her.
His features were very defined, and his eyes were sharp as knives, like a predator emitting a powerful hunting signal.
Her heart stopped abruptly in fright, and her breathing slowed down. She could feel the man's hands on her waist were burning hot, as if he would break her waist at any moment.
Actually, she made a mistake in saying one thing: if he, who was sickly and weak, got angry, he could be quite dangerous.
Normally, she would have pushed the person away and run for her life, but if she did now, the people outside would recognize her.
After some deliberation, she decided to play dead.
Lu Yunzhou witnessed the two embracing intimately, but showed no embarrassment. Instead, he stepped into the elevator, his eyes fixed on the two. Unfortunately, they were embracing too tightly, so tightly that no one could see Lu Shan's true face.
"I'm going downstairs to buy Qianqian some food." He said this hesitantly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible unease. No one answered him, so he stood in a corner with his phone and started scrolling, his eyes constantly glancing at the two people in the corner, trying to see what the woman in his arms looked like.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, the air inside grew thinner and thinner. Su Yuxi froze, not daring to move. Her head was pressed against the chest of the person in front of her, and she tried to breathe softly. However, the masculine scent emanating from the man in front of her permeated her nostrils, causing her to unconsciously tighten her grip on her hands. Besides feeling uncomfortable, she was also afraid that he would suddenly run away and expose her.
A muffled groan came from above. Both men heard it, but Su Yuxi, who was trying to ignore the sound, didn't. She continued to tighten her grip, inwardly praising the men for being so cooperative and adjusting the angle to cover her up more thoroughly.
Time was ticking away, and even though the distance from the fifth floor to the first floor was very short, why hadn't we arrived yet?
She counted silently in her mind, not daring to move an inch, and silently endured Lu Yunzhou's secret scrutiny, until she heard a "ding" sound, indicating that they had finally arrived at the first floor.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense muscles relaxed.
Lu Yunzhou looked up at the open elevator doors, put away his phone, turned his head, and blatantly sized up the two of them: "Brother Huaijin, the elevator has arrived... I'll go first."
Fu Huaijin pressed down on the head that was trying to lift up, glanced at him sideways, and softly responded with an "Mm".
That was the last time.
Looking at how much he cherished that woman, Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly, realizing he was truly bewitched.
For a fleeting moment, he thought the person in his arms resembled Su Yuxi, which is why he wanted to come over and take a look.
But now he's pretty sure that person isn't his Xixi.
His Xixi loved him so much, how could she fall into someone else's arms?
With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath of the air filled with disinfectant, turned around and took two steps forward, then paused, looked back at them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and pressed the shut-off button for them, as if he were kindly giving them some time.
As the elevator doors closed with a ding, Su Yuxi stirred and slowly poked her head out; the elevator was empty.
She immediately straightened up, her small body pressed against the cold elevator wall as she slowly moved to the side, gradually breaking free from the man's embrace. Once she reached the corner, she felt as if she had been reborn, leaning against the wall, clutching her chest, and letting out a heavy sigh.
"They're finally gone."
Thinking of the man she had used, she cautiously glanced at him, watching him remain in the same position. Her face flushed slightly, and she thought to herself how embarrassing it was.
"I'm sorry, I was forced to use you as a cover just now."
Fu Huaijin straightened up, leaning against the wall with a calm expression, as if he hadn't taken what had just happened to heart. However, the hand that had been around her waist was gently stroking her in the shadows, as if he was savoring the sensation.
Seeing that he remained silent, Su Yuxi didn't know if he was angry or not, so she didn't dare to urge him and just stood quietly in the corner.
It wasn't until the elevator doors opened and someone was about to enter that Su Yuxi snapped out of her daze and realized that this was not a place to linger and she had to leave immediately.
By now, Lu Yunzhou should have walked far away. She mustered up her courage and said to him, "Why don't we go first?"
Fu Huaijin raised his head, his indifferent eyes flashing with unreadable emotions. He glanced at the passerby waiting to enter, and after a while, he mercifully responded.
Su Yuxi moved closer to him, gesturing for him to go out first.
Fu Huaijin was feeling unwell, so she walked slowly forward with her shoulders slumped. She followed like a little thief, glancing left and right, wary of anyone who came near her, especially that persistent Lu Yunzhou, who was afraid he would suddenly reappear.
Fortunately, he got into the car safely this time and didn't see Lu Yunzhou.
The two sat in the car, waiting for it to drive away, but the car didn't move for quite a while.
Su Yu looked towards the driver's seat; it was empty, not a soul in sight.
