Chapter 434: An Episode in the Elevator
Chapter 434: An Episode in the Elevator
The elevator door slowly closed, isolating the noise from the outside world.
Inside the elevator, the light softly shone on the two of them, creating a warm and private atmosphere.
As the elevator door slowly closed, Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning smiled at each other, feeling an inexplicable tension and anticipation in their hearts.
Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning stood in the middle of the elevator, only one step away from each other. The soft light in the elevator reflected on their faces, outlining a touch of warmth.
As the floor numbers gradually decreased, Gu Yuan's gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Ning.
Her outfit today is simple yet elegant, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, making her look particularly charming.
Gu Yuan's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats, and he tried to find a topic to break the delicate silence.
"Ningning, what are your plans tonight?"
Gu Yuan's voice was gentle, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness.
Jiang Ning raised her head and met Gu Yuan's gaze. A smile flashed in her eyes:
"I haven't thought about it yet, do you have any suggestions?"
Just as Gu Yuan was about to answer, the elevator suddenly made a strange noise.
Then the lights flickered a few times, and then the entire elevator fell into darkness, followed by a violent shaking.
There was an unsettling creaking sound, and the elevator stopped. The lights flickered a few times before settling into a dim state.
When the elevator suddenly stopped and the lights flickered, Jiang Ning's body involuntarily tensed up and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"what happened?"
There was a hint of panic in Jiang Ning's voice, and she subconsciously grabbed Gu Yuan's arm.
Gu Yuan quickly calmed down, pressed the emergency call button, and comforted Jiang Ning:
"Don't worry, it may be a temporary malfunction. Let's wait for the rescuers."
The air in the elevator seemed to freeze. Time passed by minute by minute. The two were trapped in this small space and could hear each other's breathing clearly.
Jiang Ning's cheeks flushed slightly. She tried to divert attention and asked:
"Do you remember the first time we met?"
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes:
"Of course I remember. That day you were wearing a light blue dress, standing by the window of the library. The sunlight shone on your hair. You were as beautiful as a person in a painting."
Jiang Ning showed a surprised expression on his face:
"Really? I can't even remember. Then why didn't you come and talk to me then?"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I was too nervous at the time and afraid of disturbing you, so I just watched from a distance. Later, I mustered up the courage to approach you, but I always missed the opportunity."
Jiang Ning smiled gently. She felt Gu Yuan's hand holding hers tightly. The warmth made her feel at ease.
She looked up at Gu Yuan, with stars twinkling in her eyes:
"Aren't we together now? We can make up for the regrets of the past together."
Gu Yuan's eyes became deep. He gently embraced Jiang Ning in his arms and whispered:
"Yes, from now on, no matter good times or bad times, I will stay by your side and never leave you."
Suddenly, the elevator shook again, as if it was about to fall into a deep well in the next second.
The sudden loud noise also scared Jiang Ning.
Gu Yuan immediately noticed her uneasiness. He walked quickly and firmly to Jiang Ning, put one hand gently on her shoulder, and pressed the emergency call button steadily with the other hand.
"Don't be afraid, Ningning, this situation is rare, but elevators have safety devices, we will be fine."
Gu Yuan's voice was calm and powerful, like a warm spring breeze blowing through Jiang Ning's heart, making her feel a little comforted.
He continued:
"I have pressed the emergency call and rescuers will be here soon. What we need to do now is to stay calm and wait for rescue."
As he spoke, he gently guided Jiang Ning to sit in a corner of the elevator, which was relatively stable and could reduce the discomfort caused by possible slight shaking of the elevator.
Gu Yuan's eyes never left Jiang Ning. He saw the fear in her eyes gradually fade away, replaced by trust in him.
He smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"You know what? Actually, this kind of experience is quite rare. We can say in the future that we once had a special time in the elevator."
Jiang Ning was amused by his words, and the tension in his heart was relieved a lot.
She nodded and responded softly:
"Yeah, maybe this will become a special memory we share."
Seeing that her mood had improved, Gu Yuan began to tell her about some little things they had experienced together. Those happy times made a smile gradually appear on Jiang Ning's face.
Their topic ranged from memories of the past to dreams for the future, and they seemed to have forgotten that they were in trouble at the moment.
Time passed quietly during this conversation.
The two people's heartbeats intertwined in the closed space of the elevator, as if they could hear each other's voices.
At this moment, the sound of rescuers' footsteps and the knocking of tools were heard outside the elevator, breaking the brief silence.
When the rescuers' voices finally rang out outside the elevator door, Gu Yuan held Jiang Ning's hand tightly and gave her a final encouragement:
"Look, I told you it's okay, we'll be out soon."
Jiang Ning looked at Gu Yuan's determined eyes, and the last trace of uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
She knew that as long as he was by her side, she would be able to face any difficulties bravely.
The rescuers quickly opened the elevator door, and the two smiled at each other and walked out hand in hand.
The two smiled at each other, stepped out of the elevator together, and welcomed a new beginning.
Although they experienced this little accident, it was a special experience for them, which made them more convinced that each other's existence was the best arrangement of fate.
Under the watchful eyes of the rescuers, they left the elevator room side by side.
