Chapter 57 She was hugging another man!
"Rong Zhoubai, are you claustrophobic?"
Qu Ge guessed Rong Zhoubai's symptoms.
In the darkness, his rapid breathing was extremely clear.
Qu Ge looked at him in the dim light of the mobile phone screen.
The man who usually seemed to have no weaknesses now looked pale and his body was shaking violently.
She held his hand and soothed him gently: "Don't be afraid, take a deep breath..."
The man's cold fingers unconsciously tightened around her wrist, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.
He took deep breaths repeatedly following her instructions, but after several attempts he still couldn't control his shaking.
Qu Ge used the flashlight on his cell phone to illuminate the area in front of his eyes.
In the dim light, those beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, their gaze empty and full of fear.
Qu Ge had never seen Rong Zhubai like this before.
Fragile, helpless...
Completely lost the heavy armor on his body.
She held his hand tightly and told him over and over again: "It's okay, I'm always with you. The elevator will be back online soon. Look at me and listen to me."
Qu Ge's gentle voice is the antidote that allows Rong Zhoubai to stay clear-headed at this moment.
He tried hard to open his eyes and look at her. It was the only light he could find in the darkness.
In front of my eyes, the woman's figure is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
The dim light from the phone outlined her warm figure.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, a strand of curled hair escaped from her bun and fell on her temples. Her rosy lips slowly opened and closed: "Take a deep breath... Yes, that's it."
Perhaps because he was uncomfortable from squatting for too long, Qu Ge adjusted his posture, and the light from his mobile phone shook, causing Rong Zhoubai to squint unconsciously.
In a trance, he saw that her whole body was enveloped in a circle of soft white light, and the edges of her hair were shining with golden halos, as if a god from heaven had come to him.
In order to keep Rong Zhoubai awake, Qu Ge kept talking to him.
"You know, I've never been abroad."
"Can you tell me what the differences are between Canada and Jiangzhou City? Will it be very cold over there? I'm worried I won't be able to get used to it after I go there..."
"Rong Zhoubai, you really have a lot of secrets. When are you going to tell me?"
"But it's okay if you don't want to tell me. You've already helped me a lot. Thank you so much..."
The woman's light voice fell intermittently into Rong Zhoubai's ears.
He wanted to answer her, but he couldn't.
He tried hard to turn his palm over and interlock his fingers with hers.
He wanted to respond to her in this way to let her know that she didn't have to thank him.
He was willing to tell her the secrets she wanted to know.
Feeling Rong Zhoubai holding her fingers tightly, Qu Ge was stunned for a moment, then held his hand back without hesitation.
Her response, her voice, and the clean, warm soapy scent of her body...
All sorts of subtle perceptions wove into a safety net in the darkness, supporting Rong Zhoubai's consciousness which was constantly sinking in fear.
At this time, the security guard's voice came from the pager in the elevator.
"I'm so sorry! The elevator suddenly broke down. Our maintenance staff are on their way. Please wait patiently for ten minutes!"
Ten minutes.
That doesn't sound like a very long time.
But for a claustrophobic patient, it is desperately long.
Qu Ge noticed that Rong Zhoubai's hands began to tremble again.
She immediately held him tighter and continued talking to distract him.
She told him about the scenery she had seen when she traveled, the interesting things that happened in college, and how Qu Shunzhi often cooked delicious meals for her when she was still alive...
"When I have the chance one day, I will cook for you myself and let you taste my cooking skills."
“…”
Rong Zhoubai suddenly didn't respond.
Qu Ge quickly glanced at him and found that he had closed his eyes at some point, and the deep furrow between his brows was twisted and distorted.
Time slowly passed in the darkness.
Qu Ge was extremely anxious.
Suddenly, she heard Rong Zhoubai's unclear voice——
"Save me... Mom..."
Before she could hear what he said, she was suddenly pulled away.
Rong Zhoubai has lost his clear consciousness at this moment.
He instinctively hugged her with all his remaining strength.
Qu Ge clearly felt his cold body shaking constantly.
"Mom..." he shouted over and over again, "Don't abandon me, please..."
Qu Ge was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that a seemingly heartless playboy like him would miss his mother like her when he was vulnerable.
His panicked voice reminded her of herself a year ago.
On the day when Qu Shunzhi had the accident, she knelt in a pool of blood and called her over and over again.
"Don't leave me..."
"Don't leave me alone..."
I feel the same way.
Everyone needs to be treated like a child sometimes.
Whether it is Qu Ge or the seemingly omnipotent Rong Zhoubai.
He has helped her so much during this time.
Now that he needed her, she had no reason to push him away.
Qu Ge hugged Rong Zhoubai tighter, running her slender fingers through the slightly sweaty hair on the back of his head.
"Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you." She comforted him softly, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
…
"Crack—"
It seemed like a century had passed before the voice of the maintenance staff was finally heard outside the elevator.
The elevator door opened and the dazzling flashlight light shone in from the gap.
Before Qu Ge could react, a cold and furious voice fell in his ears——
"What are you doing?!"
Qiao Xuan stood at the elevator door with a terrifying look of cruelty on his face.
After leaving the banquet hall, he waited downstairs, wanting to have a good talk with Qu Ge after the banquet was over.
A few minutes ago, he heard the front desk say that someone was trapped in the elevator, apparently a VIP on the top floor.
He was extremely anxious and immediately sent for someone to rescue her.
But what is the result?
At this moment, she was hugging another man intimately in front of him!
The anger almost burst Qiao Xuan's heart.
He strode into the elevator, grabbed Qu Ge's wrist and pulled her out.
The man's forceful movements nearly crushed her bones.
Qu Ge frowned in pain and pushed him away with force.
"Let go! It hurts!"
"What were you doing with him?"
Qiao Xu'an stared at her eyes intently, trying to find the answer from those beautiful eyes.
Qu Ge looked him straight in the face, unflinching, and said unhappily, "What can you do in an elevator? Can you please stop thinking of me as such a dirty person?"
"If we can't do it in the elevator, we can do it somewhere else?" Qiao Xuan frowned.
What he hated most was the way she talked back to him with such confidence.
Hearing what he said, Qu Ge was speechless.
She knew that it was useless for her to say anything now, as this man would only believe what he wanted to believe.
Besides, she had no obligation to explain to him!
She turned and walked towards the elevator.
Rong Zhoubai is still inside, and she is only worried about his condition now.
However, before she could take a few steps, someone grabbed her again.
"Come back with me and explain everything clearly!"
Qiao Xuan pulled her away without saying anything.
Qu Ge wanted to break free again, but this time he held her too tightly, and she couldn't get rid of that iron-like hand at all.
She shouted anxiously: "Let me go! I have something else to do later!"
"Where else do you want to go?!"
"None of your business!"
"Don't want me to take care of it? Then who do you want to take care of it?!"
There was a fierce look in Qiao Xu'an's eyes, the corners of his mouth were stretched into a sharp line, and even his breathing was filled with uncontrollable anger.
Qu Ge was about to speak.
Suddenly, Rong Zhubai's cold voice came from behind him -
"She is not anyone's appendage and does not need to be controlled by anyone. She is free to go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants."
Before she finished her words, Rong Zhubai walked past Qu Ge and stood between her and Qiao Xu'an.
Except for his still pale face, he had regained his usual calm demeanor, without any trace of the fragile look she had seen in the elevator just now.
Seeing that Qiao Xuan was still holding Qu Ge tightly, Rong Zhubai grabbed his tiger's mouth, pressed accurately on his weak joint, and suddenly exerted force!
With a click—
Joint dislocation!
Qiao Xuan's thumb was tilted at an unnatural angle, and the severe pain from the dislocated joint made his entire arm tremble with pain!
His hand was forced to loosen, and Qu Ge immediately pulled his wrist away.
Rong Zhubai leaned sideways and used his broad shoulders to form a human wall, protecting her behind him.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze like a blade, and his voice was low and dangerous: "If you dare to hurt her again, it won't just be your fingers that are broken."
A naked provocation!
It was the first time that Qiao Xuan was threatened so blatantly.
The cold sweat from the pain trickled down his forehead, but he never frowned once, a sinister smile still playing on his lips: "...Interesting."
He slowly moved his dislocated thumb.
The next second, he actually twisted the joint back by himself!
The crisp sound makes one's teeth ache!
Perhaps because he knew he couldn't get any advantage from Rong Zhoubai, Qiao Xuan had no intention of taking action again.
He only asked Qu Ge one question.
"Are you sure you want to go with him?"
"yes."
Qu Ge was too lazy to explain too much to him.
Hearing her answer without hesitation, Qiao Xuan frowned with terrifying murderous intent.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Your friend is still lying in the hospital."
