Thinking of this, Pei Xiao was like a languid cabbage, and banged his head against the door in despair. As a result, his stomach growled in response to the situation.
Xi Xiangdong glanced at her and pointed to the lunch box on the table: "Are you hungry? There is food here."
Pei Xiao walked over with his head hanging down and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"No. Waiting for you to come together."
As he spoke, he moved his notebook aside and swept away the books and documents on the table to make some space.
Pei Xiao opened the bag: "Just a pair of chopsticks."
"It's okay, you eat first, and I'll eat after you're done." Xi Xiangdong shrugged helplessly and poured out the packed sauce.
The late-night snack was quite delicious, with plenty of refreshments and egg and beef porridge. As soon as the lid was opened, the room was filled with delicious aromas.
Xi Xiangdong handed her the spoon and said, "Eat it while it's hot. It'll taste fishy when it's cold."
Before Pei Xiao's hand touched the edge of the porcelain spoon, his eyes suddenly went dark, and there was a small "clang" in his ears, and the spoon fell to the ground.
She didn't care about this, and stretched out her hands in panic: "What's going on?"
There was a slight heat on her wrist, and a pair of big hands grabbed her: "The building probably has a power outage, don't be afraid."
There was a strange calmness in his voice. Pei Xiao slowly calmed down and his eyes adapted to the darkness. From the faint light outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he could distinguish the figure of Xiangdong.
He lowered his head and looked at the watch: "No wonder, it's ten o'clock."
Generally, office buildings cut off power at ten o'clock, security guards are off duty, and elevators stop running.
Xi Xiangdong put one hand on her shoulder and patted her slightly, using his mobile phone as lighting with the other hand, and comforted her: "It's okay, each floor has an independent power supply."
He was going out to find the electrical box. Pei Xiao didn't dare to stay here alone, so he followed him.
The office building at night was still a bit scary. It was dark and deserted. Only the moonlight shined through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making their shadows longer and longer. The footsteps of the two people echoed in the corridor, and Pei Xiao hugged Xi Xiangdong tightly.
I looked around nervously from time to time.
He seemed to be enjoying this moment. He deliberately slowed down and held her little hand on his waist with his backhand: "Are you afraid?"
Pei Xiao gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid..."
He suddenly stopped while he was talking. Pei didn't stop laughing and knocked his head hard on his back.
"Girl."
The sudden masculine aura and familiar name made Pei Xiao lose his mind for a moment.
"Do you still blame me?"
I blame you for not holding me in your arms at this time.
Pei Xiao hesitated and turned around: "Don't talk about this yet, turn on the power..."
He said "Yeah", held her hand, and continued to move forward. For a moment, she hoped that the lights would never turn on and just keep walking like this, how nice it would be.
Xi Xiangdong opened the electricity box, and Pei Xiao took his mobile phone to help him light up: "How long will it take for it to heal?"
Xi Xiangdong glanced down at her: "Are you anxious?"
"No...I'm afraid the building is locked."
"I'm afraid that's the case."
"Huh...?"
Just as she was marveling, the incandescent light above her head suddenly turned on, and each other's expressions were invisible under the light. Pei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Then, can't we get out?"
In fact, the side door was still open, but the evil Mr. Xi looked noncommittal.
On the way back, Pei Xiao walked in front with a depressed head.
"Want to go out?"
After being silent for a long time, Pei Xiao actually shook his head.
"I hope to stay here all my life without anyone disturbing me. It would be best if I grow old as soon as I open my eyes..."
