Luo Xiyun looked in the direction of Chen Xu. Judging from the sound, he was at least half a meter away from her, just like usual.

This is really a weirdo.

A normal person would instinctively move closer to others in such a dark and closed environment, but he still kept his distance from her.

Instantly, she felt angry and stopped talking.

After a while, she suddenly felt a slight chill that penetrated through her thin clothes and seeped into her skin, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Chen Xu took the initiative to ask, "Do you feel a little cold?"

"Hmm." Luo Xiyun was also confused. It was already the end of December. After a cold front passed through two days ago, the minimum temperature dropped below five degrees. It was the coldest since the beginning of winter.

However, the building has heating, so she basically doesn't go out and wears very little, just two pieces of clothing: a base layer and a thin jacket.

"It seems that the heating has been cut off." Chen Xu said.

There was no one in the building at night, so the heating had to be turned off naturally. However, the building was relatively closed and the temperature dropped slowly. Only now did they notice it.

Luo Xiyun's heart sank. She had not thought of this before. She usually focused on her work and did not care about such trivial matters. It was only after Chen Xu reminded her that she realized the seriousness of the matter.

It's just adding insult to injury.

She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt the temperature around her was getting lower and lower. She couldn’t help but hug her arms and rub them vigorously a few times.

Chen Xu's voice came, "Please wear my coat..."

"No need." She interrupted him before he could finish.

After that, neither of them spoke, and there was a long silence.

As time went by, the elevator became colder and colder. Luo Xiyun's breathing became heavier, her body trembled slightly, and her feet were sore that she couldn't hold on any longer. She put her bag on the ground and sat on it. Her legs were freed at once.

She breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her knees with her hands, and huddled in a corner. She was tired and sleepy, and gradually fell asleep in a daze.

She was sleeping very lightly. She felt a slight warmth on her body. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy to open. In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep again. This time, she slept much more soundly.

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xiyun suddenly woke up with a start. He immediately realized something was wrong. There was something covering his body with a strange smell, so he subconsciously pushed it away.

"You're awake--" Chen Xu's words stopped abruptly.

In the darkness, she heard the sound of clothes shaking, and then she realized what had just covered her body. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She knew that Chen Xu was kind-hearted and covered her with clothes because he was afraid that she would be cold. It was very impolite for her to throw the clothes on the ground.

However, this made her feel a little uncomfortable, as it was a completely subconscious reaction just now.

Through the time they've been together, she could sense that Chen Xu was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem, and his reaction just now said it all.

She wanted to apologize, but the words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them. She even felt a little wronged. It was clearly an act that she hated, so why should she apologize?

For a moment, the atmosphere was frozen.

After a few minutes, Luo Xiyun saw that Chen Xu had not made any movement. He was confused for a while and was about to speak, "That—"

Just after she said two words, her eyes suddenly lit up. The bright light dazzled her and she subconsciously closed her eyes. She was in a daze for a moment before she realized what had happened.

The power has been restored.

"ah."

She exclaimed and stood up excitedly, but her feet went weak and she almost fell to the ground, and she hurriedly held onto the wall.

Finally saved.

She was overjoyed and opened her eyes with all her strength. In the white field of vision, she vaguely saw the words "emergency brake" on the digital display. Then, Chen Xu appeared in her field of vision. He walked to the display and pressed the emergency call button.

He shouted, "Is anyone there? We're stuck in the elevator."

After hearing the response, Luo Xiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Two." Chen Xu said, and then asked, "What happened? Why did the elevator break down out of nowhere?"

The other party replied, "It's not a problem with the elevator. The power supply system of the entire building was suddenly interrupted. It took several hours of repairs to restore it."

"how so?"

“That’s not clear.”

"No, shouldn't the elevator be equipped with dual power supplies? Even if there's a power outage, there should be emergency lights or something like that."

"Well, I really don't know."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Luo Xiyun realized that he had wrongly blamed the building's security guards. It turned out that there was a problem with the entire power system. It was not surprising that no one was found trapped in the elevator during the emergency repairs.

Rescue came quickly and they were rescued after more than ten minutes.

…………

After Luo Xiyun and Chen Xu escaped, they thanked the rescuers and walked towards the stairs one after the other. They didn't dare to take the elevator at this time. Fortunately, there were only six floors left, which was not too many.

At this time, it was already past four in the morning, and the two of them had been trapped in the elevator for seven hours.

"Let me take you home." Luo Xiyun noticed that Chen Xu's face was a little pale. It must be because he was cold in the elevator just now.

He wasn't wearing much, just two pieces, a shirt and a thick coat. He covered her with the coat, leaving her with only the shirt. She had to endure the cold for several hours, and you can imagine how uncomfortable it must have been.

She felt a little uneasy and spoke.

"Thank you then." Chen Xu said without looking back.

When they reached the parking lot on the first floor, both of them were a little out of breath, especially Luo Xiyun. After standing for several hours, his legs were sore, and after walking up six floors, he could hardly walk anymore.

I finally got to the car.

Chen Xu said, "Let me open it."

Luo Xiyun hesitated for a moment, knowing that he was not suitable to drive in his current condition, so he took out the key and handed it over.

After getting in the car, she looked at Chen Xu sitting in her beloved car, with a look of pain in her eyes. Usually, she would not let anyone sit in her car except Liu Yumeng, but now a man got in and sat in the driver's seat.

Chen Xu quickly started the car and drove out of the underground garage.

It was already late at night and there were very few cars outside.

"Are you hungry?" he asked suddenly.

Luo Xiyun swallowed subconsciously. She was already starving after tossing and turning for most of the night. When he mentioned it, she felt even hungrier.

But what to eat at this time? Soon, Chen Xu parked the car in front of a convenience store at the intersection, said, "Wait for me for a few minutes," and got out of the car.

She could only wait in the car.

A few minutes later, Chen Xu came over with two buckets of instant noodles.

"I don't eat this." Luo Xiyun said hurriedly. She never touched this kind of convenience food.

"Take it." Chen Xu stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the fork, tore off the lid, and started eating.

The unique aroma of instant noodles instantly filled the car. Luo Xiyun's throat moved a few times, and after a struggle between his conscience and desire for a while, he finally picked up the fork.

【Just eat it once. 】
