Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he realized that the two of them were a little close to each other. He subconsciously moved a few steps to the side and reached out to press the door-opening button.
The movements and expressions look very natural, not forced or awkward.
Even the tone of his voice was trembling as it spilled out, "It's okay."
It was so thrilling just now. Even if she was calm, it didn't mean she wasn't really afraid.
The elevator door did not open. Fu Chen glanced at her face and did not waste any time. He took out his cell phone from his pocket again and dialed the number.
Before the call was connected, someone outside the elevator called out, "Is anyone inside?"
Meng Sheng was shocked and immediately responded, "Yes, there are people inside!"
"Don't worry, we are trying to open the door and rescue you." said the person outside.
"Okay, thank you." This time it was Fu Chenying.
The people outside moved very quickly. After all, it was a closed space with insufficient oxygen. The longer they stayed inside, the more dangerous it would be.
In less than ten minutes, the elevator door was opened about ten centimeters, and people inside could see outside.
After a few minutes, the elevator door opened a little more and Meng Sheng was pulled out first.
Fu Chen followed them out, and the people outside surrounded them and asked if they were okay.
Fu Chen handled it with ease, and when he had almost finished speaking, he solemnly thanked the maintenance personnel and several firefighters.
Meng Sheng also thanked him and bowed.
Fu Chen's gaze was finally focused on her. He lowered his head and asked, "How is it? Do you want to go get checked?"
"No, it's okay now." She smiled slowly.
"Just take it easy for a moment. Don't be in a hurry. I'm worried if you drive back like this."
The danger was completely over, and Meng Sheng realized belatedly that his hands and feet seemed a little weak.
She nodded to Fu Chen's suggestion.
After walking a few steps, Fu Chen looked back at her struggling to walk, returned to her side, and grabbed her arm, "Your legs are weak? Let me support you."
Meng Sheng smiled awkwardly, and when he waved his hand, he pulled his arm out of his hand.
"No, I'll just walk slowly. Sorry for making a fool of yourself."
Fu Chen lowered his hands and said, "What's a joke? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my legs are a little weak too."
"Is this true?" Meng Sheng was surprised.
"Really." Fu Chen said honestly.
The two of them chatted casually, and Meng Sheng's tense mood finally relaxed.
After arriving at a relatively quiet corridor, Fu Chen asked her to sit on a bench and pointed to the vending machine at the end of the corridor.
"Coffee, please? Something to calm you down."
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of his finger and nodded with a smile, "Okay."
"Then wait for me."
Fu Chen walked over, scanned the code and bought two cups of coffee.
Then he returned it to her and said, "Slowly."
"Thanks."
Meng Sheng took the coffee and thought of asking, "Are you okay?"
Fu Chen leaned lazily against the wall and smiled. "To be honest, when the elevator was descending, I really thought I was going to die there. I was wondering what I would do if Miaomiao was not there?"
And... should I take advantage of this short period of time to confess my feelings to her?
But what was said later turned out to be comfort.
Meng Sheng looked up at him and said, "Don't say such unlucky words. Miaomiao can't live without you."
Fu Chen looked down at her, his voice tinged with laughter, "Does this count as us sharing hardships today?"
Meng Sheng smiled, thinking about the thrill just now, "It counts! Why not?! If that doesn't count, I'm afraid the only way to count it is to go to the battlefield."
"We won't have the chance to go to the battlefield." Fu Chen joked with a smile, "But it's good to have such an experience once. Don't let it happen a second time."
The two of them chatted and laughed, as if they could ease the thrilling atmosphere in the elevator just now.
A few minutes later, a WeChat notification sound suddenly rang from the phone in Meng Sheng's bag.
Meng Sheng took out her cell phone from her bag and looked at it.
It was from Pei Sui: [I'm home.]
She glanced at the time on the upper left corner of her phone, turned off the screen, put the phone back in her bag, and stood up with the disposable coffee cup in her hand.
He gestured to Fu Chen and said, "Professor Fu, thank you for the coffee. It's getting late, and you have a lot of work to do in the second half of the night. I won't disturb your rest time."
Fu Chen noticed it when she was looking at the messages on her phone. Although she couldn't see the content of the message, it was not difficult to guess who sent it.
He nodded calmly, "Okay, you should go back and rest early and have a good sleep. I apologize to you on behalf of the hospital for what happened today. I'm sorry for scaring you."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly, "As long as everything is alright in the end, you're in there too, aren't you? No need to apologize."
Fortunately, nothing happened in the elevator tonight, and fortunately, there were only two of them in the entire elevator and no other patients.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Fu Chen didn't say any more polite words and glanced at the disposable coffee cup in her hand.
After a pause of only a second, he reached out and took the paper cup. "Give this to me. I'll go throw it away."
"Thank you very much."
"Don't be so polite."
Meng Sheng took the elevator back to the basement, found the Mercedes-Benz that Pei Sui had lent her, got into the driver's seat, and drove out of the hospital.
Although there was no traffic jam on the road at this time, there were still quite a few vehicles on the road. She held the steering wheel and drove slowly and steadily.
By the time we arrived at the underground garage in the Left Bank Courtyard, it was already half past ten.
She sent a WeChat message to Pei Sui before nine o'clock, saying that she was ready to go back, but ended up being delayed for almost an hour.
As soon as he got out of the car, Meng Sheng called Pei Sui, "I'm here, in the underground parking lot."
"I'm at your house." Pei Sui's clear voice was a little lazy and hoarse.
"good."
After Meng Sheng agreed, he went straight upstairs.
After getting out of the elevator, she saw a pair of familiar black leather shoes next to the shoe cabinet in the corridor outside. She opened the door and walked in. The lights in the room were on and the humidifier was turned on.
What comes to your face is a moist and refreshing feeling close to the skin.
She saw the man lying on the sofa. Sisi was originally lying on his chest, but when he saw her, he immediately meowed, then ran to her and rubbed her calves.
Meng Sheng was still a little surprised. He bent down and picked up Sisi, looking at the man lying on the sofa with his head tilted back, still wearing a shirt and tie.
He casually tore off his tie and threw it on the sofa, and his suit jacket was casually draped over the back of the sofa.
The collar of his white shirt was open, revealing a slender neckline. The warm light cut across his protruding sexy Adam's apple, and his collarbone was faintly visible in the shadow of the shirt.
It is not ostentatious, but it is eye-catching enough.
As he got closer, Meng Sheng smelled a faint scent of alcohol emanating from him.
As if she felt a shadow covering her, Pei Sui opened her eyes. She was facing the light, and her pretty face was a little hazy, and her expression was not very clear.
Only those almond-shaped eyes were gentle and calm, with a hint of concern and worry in them.
He caught it.
When his eyes gradually focused, he straightened up and sat up, "I'm back."
