The call ended.
Li Ruo looked up at the ceiling in front of her.
A warm feeling welled up from my eyes.
Indeed, people become more tender when they are loved.
Originally, Li Ruo was supposed to sit here and work overtime until the end of the night.
But at this moment, she decided to go downstairs and get something to eat.
Before, I would always drive past the food street on one side after get off work, and the little shops there looked very lively and bustling.
I was just in a hurry to get home before, so I didn't have a chance to explore it properly.
Li Ruo stood in front of the elevator, casually scrolling through her phone with her eyes down.
A pop-up window appeared saying that the phone's battery was down to 10%.
Li Ruo paused, then gripped her phone tightly.
Ten units of electricity should be enough for me to quickly pay one bill.
She was so hungry that she didn't want to charge her phone for a while before leaving.
Stepping into the elevator, Li Ruo leaned against a corner.
She looked up at the constantly changing numbers in front of her.
For some reason, something I've done more than once in a day is now inexplicably shrouded in a sense of unease.
Li Ruo's sixth sense was faintly waking, as if something ominous was about to happen.
"boom!"
First came a loud bang, then the entire elevator shook violently.
The immense inertia caused Li Ruo to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
The world around her instantly went dark.
Elevator malfunction?
A few seconds later, Li Ruo came to her senses.
She got up and frantically pressed the emergency button, quietly waiting for rescue.
But the button seemed to be broken; it didn't respond at all.
So Li Ruo took out her phone, and in the dim light, the screen showed no signal.
He knew that any sudden movements inside the elevator shaft would put him in danger.
So Li Ruo had no choice but to wait quietly for the emergency personnel to find her.
Time passed slowly, and Li Ruo's heart beat faster and faster.
It was so dark all around, an endless expanse of darkness.
She knows herself too well.
She was terrified of such claustrophobic places.
This is a childhood trauma for her, a situation she has never dared to face.
Being trapped in an elevator for an extended period of time can easily lead to suffocation and death.
But what came before suffocation was the uncontrollable trembling of his hands and feet, and the involuntary heartbeat in his left chest.
The instinct to seek help made Li Ruo move from the ground to the elevator door.
She raised her hand and began frantically pounding on the elevator door.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?!"
The voice, usually so cool and aloof, sounded so fearful and panicked at this moment.
"Someone is trapped in the elevator! Help! Help me! Help me!"
The long, dark corridor was completely deserted.
Only Li Ruo's voice, on the verge of collapse, echoed in the corridor for a long time.
...
On the other side.
The square dining table created a somber atmosphere.
Zhao Ming looked at Wen Huaiyan in front of him and counted that this was the seventh time the other party had checked the time.
I had just finished get off work at the hospital when Wen Huaiyan called me over.
Over the phone, Wen Huaiyan jokingly invited him to her home to try the new chef's cooking.
But Zhao Ming knew that someone like Wen Huaiyan would never do such a thing.
He was clearly worried about his beautiful "toy," and worried that the other person wasn't feeling well today.
However, it seems that something has gone wrong again.
Suddenly, Wen Huaiyan spoke.
"Have you called her?"
The housekeeper stood respectfully to one side, responding leisurely.
"I've already made three calls, but Miss Li hasn't answered. She must be busy with something."
"What could possibly be wrong with her!"
Wen Huaiyan's voice carried a hint of anger.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Why don't we just eat together? I wonder what time that girl will be home."
As brothers who had risked their lives for each other, Zhao Ming didn't miss the chance to mock Wen Huaiyan.
"That's also possible. You upset them yesterday, so maybe they won't come today."
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan immediately stopped abruptly.
The face that had been filled with anger just moments before suddenly darkened.
Zhao Ming smirked as he admired his good brother's expression.
In view of her, Wen Huaiyan made a phone call to Chen Shu.
Although Wen Huaiyan tried her best to keep her tone even, the concern in her words still couldn't help but overflow.
Zhao Ming sat down and felt that the statement was absolutely right.
If you live long enough, you really will see all sorts of things.
Even Wen Huaiyan, who used to have a cold expression, can now have such a warm expression.
If the current situation weren't so bad, Zhao Ming would have really wanted to take out his phone and record it.
Can--
Although Zhao Ming thought he didn't want to, his body betrayed him.
"Snap—"
The sound of the shutter clicking rang out, and Wen Huaiyan frowned as she glanced at Zhao Ming.
A second later, Zhao Ming spoke up with a grin.
"I just think you look really handsome from this angle, bro. You're so handsome that no one has ever been before or since, so I couldn't help but take a picture of you."
After saying that, Zhao Ming even pretended to be appreciative.
"If I were a woman, I'd fall in love with you the moment I saw you..."
Before Zhao Ming could finish speaking, Wen Huaiyan suddenly got up, walked to the door, picked up his coat, and left.
"Where are you going? Are you angry? We're brothers, it's not that serious, is it?"
"company."
