Chapter 49 [A Little Brewing, It's Really Good]
It's over.
It's completely over.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Help! Open the door! Is anyone home?!"
Yun Yang pounded on the door.
Gu Yan, come quick!
She only wanted to disrupt the plot, not to take over the female lead's storyline.
Sigh, someone as beautiful and kind-hearted as her.
Once you have the thought of doing something bad, you're bound to do something bad.
[Is this a little brewing thing? Has it gone mad?]
With a hint of helplessness in its voice, it drifted over slowly.
The knocking stopped abruptly.
Yun Yang suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
In the darkness, nothing can be seen.
But she could sense that Fu Xiaoting didn't seem afraid at all.
The next second.
A soft "snap" sound.
A soft yet bright beam of light suddenly pierced through the dense darkness.
At the end of the beam of light was Fu Xiaoting's face, which was almost too handsome.
He was leaning against the ground, one hand supporting himself on the ground, the other holding his phone and turning on the flashlight.
The light shone on his face from below, which, far from making it appear gloomy, instead gave his deep features a soft contour.
Yun Yang was completely stunned and just stared at him blankly.
He really...is perfectly fine.
Aside from his face being pale from the pain and his forehead being covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, his obsidian-like eyes remained calm and composed, even carrying a hint of disdain for someone looking at an idiot.
Yun Yang frowned and cautiously asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Sir, aren't you afraid?"
Aren't you afraid... of a sudden power outage?
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yunyang regretted them.
Oh no, my mouth is faster than my brain!
How could I have blurted out such a sweet and innocent question!
Fu Xiaoting is mute! She overheard him mentioning his fear of power outages from his inner thoughts; he had never told her that himself!
I'm afraid of sudden power outages at night; the key word is "night." Write this down!
[It's broad daylight, with people coming and going outside. Even if the storage room door is locked, a couple of shouts and someone will come running. What's there to be afraid of?]
Unfortunately, I'm mute now and can't shout.
Oh right, I'm mute, so how did she know I'm afraid of power outages?
Fu Xiaoting's gaze swept over Yun Yang's bewildered little face, and then he understood.
Oh, she must be scared herself.
[Coward.]
Yun Yang: "!"
Are the conditions he fears really that harsh?
Daytime hours don't count.
What's the point of her rushing over to install the light, her face flushed and red?
I guess she was just being nosy.
She sighed softly.
Now that we have cell phones, things are much easier!
Yun Yang reached out her hand to Fu Xiaoting.
"Sir, give me your phone, I need to call for help!"
Fu Xiaoting raised an eyebrow and handed over the phone as instructed.
That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a not-so-bright groundhog.
Why do you think I didn't type it myself?
Yunyang took the phone and swiped the screen.
Because you're mute.
She found Giulio's phone number, and then discovered—
No signal.
...
Yun Yang was not giving up. She held up her phone and spun around in place twice, but the signal bars were still empty.
She deflated, like a wilted eggplant, and listlessly stumbled back to the doorway.
Then I pressed my ear tightly against the cold door, hoping to hear even the slightest sound from outside.
Why isn't Gu Yan here yet?
Yunyang was extremely anxious.
Fu Xiaoting's quiet thoughts drifted over again.
What exactly is Xiao Yunniang doing?
[They didn't even come over to check my wound.]
Yun Yang was jolted awake, only then remembering that Xiao Ting was still injured!
She quickly jogged back to Fu Xiaoting's side, squatted down, and shone the light from her phone onto his arm.
Upon seeing this, she gasped in shock.
The sleeve of his shirt on his right arm was soaked in blood, turning a shocking dark red.
A long gash extended down from his elbow, the flesh turned inside out, and blood was still gushing out.
Yunyang felt her legs go weak instantly.
"Sir, aren't you...aren't you in pain?"
Her voice was trembling, and after asking the question, she wanted to slap herself. Wasn't that obvious?! How could it not hurt when she was injured like that!
Sure enough, the next second, she received a barrage of complaints from Fu Xiaoting in his mind.
[Fine, I'll give you a try and see if it hurts!]
[You heartless idiot!]
Yun Yang shrank back guiltily.
She looked at the hideous wound and paced anxiously.
There's nothing here, how can I stop the bleeding?
Her gaze swept across the room and she saw Fu Xiaoting's well-tailored suit.
tie!
Yes, you can use a tie!
Yun Yang disregarded all manners and reached out to pull at his tie.
While clumsily unraveling the problem, he hurriedly tried to find other solutions.
"What I mean is, sir, you're amazing! Your willpower is incredible!"
"You bled so much and had such a deep wound, yet you didn't even flinch or utter a sound of pain!"
As she spoke, she carefully wrapped the tie she had taken off tightly around the area above his wound, trying to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
Fu Xiaoting was taken aback by her shower of compliments.
I'm impressed, truly impressed.
I am mute!!!
How can a mute person cry out in pain?!
He was roaring inwardly, but when he saw the girl with her head down, focused and nervous as she bandaged him, his anger inexplicably subsided.
Those small hands were soft and white, with a slight coolness, and when they touched his skin, they aroused a slight shiver.
His cheeks felt a little hot.
Oh dear, what's wrong? Let me think of something else...
For example... I've been very brave since I was a child.
When I got my vaccinations, all the other kids were crying and wailing, but I didn't make a sound.
My mom always rewards me with a piece of chocolate.
I'm craving chocolate.
Yun Yang paused in her movements.
She dared not speak; the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
I'll go find you some chocolate right away.
She tied her tie in a tight knot, which finally stopped the bleeding temporarily.
After doing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Fu Xiaoting's pale face.
"Sir, are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."
This is a storage room; there's not much else, but plenty of snacks.
Forget chocolate, I'd even eat sunflower seeds.
As she spoke, she prepared to push herself up from the ground.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly felt a tightness on my scalp.
The hair tie that held her ponytail seemed to be gripped by a large hand.
At the same time, Fu Xiaoting's voice, filled with deep displeasure, came through again.
【No way, I hate seeing this hair tie!】
That pretty boy! He actually dared to use it to tie up his own QQ sausage right in front of Xiao Yunniang!
Yun Yang: "???"
This isn't the one I lent to Gu Yan!!
She seemed to understand...
Brother, those are pants! Pants! Gu Yan is wearing pants.
I have absolutely never seen what Gu Yan's QQ sausage looks like!
He gave you his first time!
The next second, a sudden yank pulled from above.
Fu Xiaoting yanked the hair tie off and tossed it into the darkness.
Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, brushing against her cheeks and sweeping across the back of Fu Xiaoting's hand.
It has a light, pleasant shampoo scent.
Yun Yang was both angry and annoyed. She suddenly turned her head and glared at the man who had inexplicably gone mad.
"gentlemen!"
As soon as she turned her head, she met Fu Xiaoting's eyes, which shone brightly under the light of his phone.
His gaze was focused and deep, as if he wanted to draw her in.
Then, she heard that voice from the heart.
It's no longer complaining, it's no longer disdain.
Just six simple words, yet with a touch of amazement.
[It's brewing, and it looks really good.]
boom--
Yun Yang felt her cheeks instantly burn up, her heart skipped a beat, and then began to race wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet. She suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran away like a startled rabbit.
She plunged into the snack shelf next to her, leaning against the cold metal frame, panting heavily.
My heart was still pounding wildly.
He's gone mad! Fu Xiaoting has absolutely gone mad!
She squatted behind the shelf for a long time before the heat on her face slowly subsided and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.
She muttered to herself quietly.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
However, she was self-aware.
She wasn't as pretty as Gu Yan.
...
Meanwhile, outside the storage room.
Gu Yanzheng arrived in a hurry.
Fu Xiaojun was throwing a tantrum because the ribs hadn't arrived yet.
He was stuck and couldn't get away no matter what he did.
System: [Host, don't panic! Watch me!]
The next second, Fu Xiaojun, who was smashing things in the kitchen, suddenly picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and then "poof," he choked on the water on the spot, coughing so loudly that his face turned purple.
The entire kitchen instantly descended into chaos.
[System: Hurry up!]
While everyone was busy helping the young master, Gu Yan quickly slipped away.
He ran all the way to the door of the underground storage room, only to find that the door was closed.
Gu Yan was a little confused.
Since the servants discovered the key was 'lost,' the storage room door has been left open for the past two days for easy access.
System: [Host, don't overthink it! The plot is the priority! Quickly grab the key and open the door, or it'll be too late!]
Gu Yan frowned, and seeing that no one was around, he still took out a brass key from his pocket.
With a click, the door lock was opened.
He pushed open the door and went inside.
The inside was pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light shining through the gaps in the shelves.
Gu Yan felt even more puzzled.
[Wasn't there a power outage? Where did these lights come from?]
The system seemed to freeze for a moment.
This...this...
[It's okay! It won't affect anything! Even if Fu Xiaoting isn't afraid of the dark, he's still afraid of enclosed basements! Have you ever seen him set foot in a place like that? He wouldn't come here if it weren't for you!]
The system spoke with absolute certainty.
However, Gu Yan retorted speechlessly.
Are you sure he did it for me?
He seems to have arrived earlier than me.
system:【……】
"Sir! It seems someone is coming!"
Yun Yang had already heard the system's voice, and only when the footsteps were clearly audible did she call out in feigned surprise.
She leaned out from behind the shelf and immediately spotted Gu Yan walking in.
Yun Yang's eyes lit up, and she quickly waved vigorously at him.
"Mr. Gu! Thank goodness! It's Gu Yan, we're saved!"
Suddenly, a cold snort rang out from behind.
Ha, their eyes light up the moment they see a pretty boy.
[Hmph, what's there to get excited about?]
