Suddenly plunged into darkness, Ji Shuyu screamed in fright and almost dropped her phone.
I was communicating with a client a while ago and my phone battery was almost exhausted. Now there was a sudden power outage. Looking at the less than 5% battery level, Ji Shuyu was a little scared...
Her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and she looked out the window.
The lights in the office building opposite are still on, so it must be a wiring problem.
If it's not a regional power outage, it should be restored soon!
Although she comforted herself in this way, the completely dark environment still made her a little scared.
"Xiuyuan, come pick me up when you're done."
"My phone is running out of battery. I'll be waiting for you in the studio."
She didn't tell him that there was a power outage in the office, and Qi Wei was afraid that he would worry.
She was a little scared to be here alone, as her studio was on the 28th floor, not to mention that she had sprained her ankle.
The pitch-black environment of the safety passage alone was enough to make her lack the courage to go forward.
She suddenly remembered that when she was working overtime a while ago, that bad girl Mu Ran told her ghost stories.
A sudden chill ran down her back, and she quickly sent a third message. But before she could finish typing, her phone had already started counting down to shut down...
Ji Shuyu was completely panicked now.
“No way!”
She was in a mess, but she couldn't stop the countdown to her phone shutting down.
At this time, the only light in the studio was cast by the lights outside. It was not so bright that it was impossible to see, but it was not enough to dispel the fear.
In the darkness, I had no concept of time and couldn't tell how much time had passed. I just felt that every minute and every second was so unbearable.
Bang——
Outside, the sound of the emergency passage door slamming shut was particularly clear in the pitch-black environment, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps.
Ji Shuyu was so scared that she crawled under the table.
Through the studio door, she saw the flickering light of a cell phone outside, and then heard footsteps getting closer and closer, finally stopping at the door of her studio.
Who is it!
Although I know that I might be scaring myself, if a stranger appears at this moment, there will at least be an element of insecurity.
"Xiaoyu, are you there?" The person outside was panting so hard that his voice became hoarse.
“Yes, I’m—ah—”
She quickly stood up, but banged her head against the table in her anxiety. "Xiuyuan, I'm here!" She was so excited that she was about to cry.
It was Xiuyuan's voice.
Hearing the little girl's trembling voice, Gu Xiuyuan pushed the door open and came in.
Looking at Ji Shuyu hiding under the table with the help of the light from the cell phone, my heart ached.
"Xiuyuan~" Ji Shuyu called him aggrievedly, then crawled out from under the table.
Gu Xiuyuan took a few steps forward and held her in his arms, "How is it? Does it hurt?" He rubbed the top of her head with concern.
Ji Shuyu pouted in grievance, then nodded.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Xiuyuan felt guilty, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
After running all the way up, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Now he was holding Ji Shuyu, whose clothes were also soaked, and he felt regretful and distressed.
"Why didn't you tell me you twisted your ankle, huh?" He held her shoulders.
If he hadn't met an acquaintance at the party who told him that he saw Xiaoyu seeing a doctor alone in the hospital, he wouldn't have known about this. He didn't even realize there was a power outage in the building until he went downstairs!
"Shouldn't you come to me first if you have any problems?" His words were full of blame.
"I was afraid you'd worry..."
Ji Shuyu felt sad and aggrieved.
Hearing her say this, Gu Xiuyuan felt even more guilty. He knew she was worried about him being busy and didn't want him to worry.
He blamed himself for not noticing when he called in the morning, and for making two calls in a row last night.
How could he believe she was just asking him when it would be over?
"I'm sorry." He hugged her tightly, "It's my fault."
Ji Shuyu listened and laughed, her palms pressed against the sweaty back of his chair, and she hugged him a little tighter, "Xiuyuan, it's really great that you're here."
Gu Xiuyuan felt a heavy sigh in his heart, "Silly girl."
Shouldn't I ask him at this time: Why are you so late?
He placed a heavy kiss on her forehead. "Let's go home!"
"But there's a power outage..."
"I'll carry you." He smiled.
"But this is the 28th floor." He ran all the way up...
"Don't believe me?" He laughed, then pinched the tip of her nose, "My physical strength..."
"Believe it." She hurriedly said it first, fearing that he would say something inappropriate.
"But, let's wait..." She didn't want him to be so tired.
As Ji Shuyu was speaking, Gu Xiuyuan had already carried her on his back.
Gu Xiuyuan carried her on his back and walked down the stairs.
Ji Shuyu wiped the sweat off his face from time to time, and then hugged her tighter.
Gu Xiuyuan took advantage of the light coming in from outside and turned to look at the little girl leaning on his shoulder. Her sparkling eyes seemed to melt his heart.
"Xiaoyu, let's just keep walking down the stairs!"
"Thang..."
She agreed with a smile, then kissed the side of his face.
At this moment, He Yan was standing frozen on the stairs leading from the 28th to the 29th floor.
His coat was soaked with sweat, and his sweaty hair stuck to his forehead, but he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Mo Chen heard from his girlfriend that Ji Shuyu was working overtime here, so he hurried over, but he didn't expect that he was still one step behind.
It seems like from the beginning, he has always been a little slower...
…
When the two returned to Xizi Bay, it was already late at night.
Gu Xiuyuan applied medicine to him before calling to explain why he left the party.
Ji Shuyu helped Gu Xiuyuan fill the bath water and prepared to go out to get some food so that the two of them could have a simple meal.
She had a quick bite after working overtime in the evening. Gu Xiuyuan had been so busy recently that he hadn't had enough food or sleep. He must have drunk a lot at the party and must be hungry.
When she was leaving, she bumped into Gu Xiuyuan.
"You must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."
He showed no intention of moving aside, so Ji Shuyu said, "What? No..."
Are you hungry?
But she didn't finish.
She wouldn't give him the chance to talk nonsense.
"Aren't you going to help me?" Gu Xiuyuan smiled.
"How, how can I help?" Her tongue was a little tied.
She could see that there was something meaningful in his eyes, but wasn't he tired?
Gu Xiuyuan didn't respond, but took her hand and unbuttoned her shirt one by one, then her belt...
Click——
With the sound of crisp snaps, he took her hand and unbuttoned and zipped her trousers, and then the suit trousers fell to his feet.
Ji Shuyu's cheeks were burning hot. She really felt that she looked a little useless and... pretentious at the moment.
They were already so familiar and close, those intimate days and nights, passionate and hot, but she was blushing over this matter now?
Seeing the deliberate look in his eyes, Ji Shuyu frowned and was about to blame him for overthinking.
"Will you give me a back rub?"
Ji Shuyu almost choked on her saliva.
He spoke so frankly that it seemed as if her thoughts were impure.
Knowing that she was doing it on purpose, Ji Shuyu cursed inwardly, then nodded naturally, "No problem."
But as soon as she sat down in the bathtub, Gu Xiuyuan pulled her into the water.
Plop——
