The call went through, but Lu Zhiyuan didn't answer until the ringtone stopped ringing.
"Sorry, no one is answering the number you dialed." The cold and mechanical system voice made me despair.
I immediately found the property management's phone number, but the moment I dialed the number, my phone turned off automatically.
I just worked overtime at the company too late. I was so focused on processing documents that I didn’t pay attention to the battery level of my phone at all.
To make matters worse, I looked at the dark screen and my heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave.
I could only rush to the door, pound on it with my fists, and yell, "Is anyone there?!"
It went on for several minutes and no one responded to me.
It was early in the morning and few people would use the elevator.
My only chance of being rescued was if someone went out at dawn and discovered that the elevator was broken.
But there was no way I could hold on until dawn.
In the closed elevator car, the oxygen was gradually depleted.
Because of the sweltering heat, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.
I squatted in the corner with my knees hugged, trying my best to control my breathing rate.
Soon, even my back was soaked with sweat.
My head started to feel dizzy, and I regretted why I made the first call to Lu Zhiyuan.
When I encounter danger, why is Lu Zhiyuan the first person that pops into my mind?
"Lan Shan, you are the biggest idiot in the world." I murmured softly, tears welling up in my eyes.
It's ridiculous that I only realized when I was about to die that I still loved the man who betrayed me.
I don’t know if I was tired of crying or if the air in the elevator car was completely exhausted.
I suddenly felt weak all over and extremely sleepy. My eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and I slowly closed my eyes.
I'm so tired, I want to have a good sleep.
"Bang!"
Just as I was about to fall asleep, a violent thumping sound woke me up.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Then, there were continuous knocking sounds and a familiar man's voice, "Wife, are you in there? Lan Shan, are you in there?!"
It’s Lu Zhiyuan.
Did he come to save me? Or was I dreaming?
I fell into a trance, and at the same moment, the light above my head suddenly came on.
I subconsciously covered my eyes with my hands, and after I adjusted to the light, I felt the fresh air.
I was breathing heavily when I heard Lu Zhiyuan's roar outside: "Open the door quickly!"
"Sir, please be patient, the staff are already repairing it." There seemed to be a property staff member nearby, comforting him carefully.
"My wife is trapped in there, how can you ask me to stay calm? If anything happens to her, I will never let you go!" Lu Zhiyuan changed his usual gentle and elegant demeanor. Through the elevator door, I seemed to see his scarlet eyes.
My heart trembled and I wanted to tell them that I was still alive.
I opened my mouth, but found my throat was so dry and itchy that I couldn't utter a word.
After so much sweat and tears, my body is now almost dehydrated.
After a while, the staff finally opened the elevator door from the outside.
A tall figure rushed in first, leaned over and picked me up from the ground.
"Wife!"
I squinted my eyes and saw that Lu Zhiyuan's handsome face was full of anxiety and worry, and the arm he was holding around me was trembling slightly.
I don't understand what he is afraid of.
If I died like this, it would probably be a good thing for him.
unless--
My heart skipped a beat. I stared at him blankly and asked silently with my lips: "Lu Zhiyuan, do you still love me?"
