Hearing the name "Tang Li", Chu Li's heart skipped a beat.
"Ahem..." She coughed lightly, hiding her emotions, "Well, Shang Li is Xiao Xi's college classmate, I... I don't know him."
"Then..." Shang Li was a little disappointed, "Do you have her phone number?"
"this……"
Chu Li quietly took a look at Shang Li's expression.
The man's expression was a bit lonely.
Chu Li's chest suddenly felt stuffy, making him unable to breathe.
Averting her gaze, she became cruel.
"I'm sorry, I...I can't help you!"
Shang Li shook his head gently: "It's okay."
Not daring to look into the other person's eyes, Chu Li quickly came to the front desk, took out his ID card and opened two guest rooms.
After taking the room card from the waiter, she and Shang Li walked into the elevator.
Shang Li pressed the floor button and the elevator slowly moved up.
Just as we were about to reach the sixteenth floor, the light above our head suddenly shook and went out.
Then, the elevator also stopped.
Inside the elevator, it was dark for a moment.
Chu Li shrank nervously: "What...what's going on?"
"There must be a power outage."
Shang Li took out his cell phone from his body, turned on the flashlight, and pressed the emergency button on the elevator.
However, nothing happens.
After parking, all related systems also stop running.
"Give me the room card and I'll see if there's a phone number for the front desk on it."
As soon as Shang Li finished speaking, Chu Li suddenly rushed over and grabbed his wrist.
Her fingers were cold, and there was an obvious layer of cold sweat on her hands.
Shang Li looked at Chu Li's face with the light of his mobile phone's flashlight, and saw that her eyes were full of panic.
There is also an obvious layer of sweat on the forehead.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Take...take me out!" Chu Li's voice was trembling, "Please, take me out quickly."
Shang Li is a psychologist and he immediately saw that something was wrong with her.
He helped her to the corner of the elevator and stretched out his hand to check her pulse.
Chu Li's heart rate was obviously abnormal. He huddled up and had difficulty breathing. His whole body was in a state of extreme fear.
Shang Li is a psychiatrist and immediately judged that she had obvious symptoms of claustrophobia.
Raising his palm and pulling down her mask, Shang Li gently held her shoulders and half-hugged her into his arms.
Chu Li instinctively grabbed his collar and buried his entire face in his arms.
"Don't... don't leave me, I'm scared... I'm really scared, I beg you!"
When he first returned to the Chu family, Chu Li, as an illegitimate son, was not popular.
Especially the older children of the Chu family loved to bully her.
They played tricks on her, deliberately tricking her into playing hide-and-seek, and then locked her in a box in the attic.
It was just fun at first, but then they forgot about her.
Little Chuli, who was several years old, was locked in a box for three days and three nights. When the adults finally found her, she was about to faint due to dehydration and hypoglycemia.
Since then, Chu Li has been afraid of dark and small spaces.
Even when she goes to bed at night, she must turn on the light to sleep.
"I'm here, don't be afraid. Now listen to my command...take a deep breath, inhale, exhale...good, very good!"
Under Shang Li's guidance, Chu Li's breathing condition improved slightly.
Shang Li put the phone into her hand and comforted her gently.
"Look, there is light here, don't be afraid. Tell me, where is your phone?"
"Bao...baoli."
Shang Li took her backpack, opened the zipper, and took out Chu Li's cell phone from inside.
Shang Li was startled when he saw the familiar mobile phone case.
How come this phone case is exactly the same as Tang Li’s phone case?!
Time was running out, and Shang Li couldn't think too much.
Open the room card and call the front desk.
As a result, it was impossible to get through at all.
He had no choice but to call the police and fire department directly for help.
The call was quickly answered, but the result was not optimistic.
"Sir, we understand your feelings, but there are currently four blocks near your area that are without power, so... the rescuers may be a little late, so please hold on. We will arrange for personnel to rush there as soon as possible."
"Please arrange it as soon as possible. I personally have no problem, but the person I am with has claustrophobia. If it is not dealt with in time, he will be in danger."
"Okay, we will arrange for someone to go there and ask for help as soon as possible. Please keep your mobile phone powered so that you can communicate at any time."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Li stuffed Chu Li's cell phone into his pocket and held Chu Li's shoulders again.
At this time, Chu Li's face was covered with sweat, and the shirt on his body was soaked with sweat.
There was no medicine on her and rescue would take time. Shang Li could only provide on-site treatment for her.
Sitting next to her, he reached out and hugged Chu Li to his side.
"Chu Li, do you believe me?"
Chu Li nodded.
"Okay, then just listen to me, close your eyes, and I'll tell you a story."
Chu Li shrank down, leaned on his chest, and closed his eyes.
Shang Li's voice was gentle as he patted her back with his palms.
"Now, we are on the grassland, the sun is abundant, the wind is gentle, and you can smell the fragrance of new grass in the air.
There are large areas of flowers on the grass, pink, red...and white.
There are cows and sheep grazing by the river in the distance, and the one on horseback is Dolma, who has just grown up.
Today, she didn't go to school, so she came over to help her father herd the sheep.
…”
He gently hummed a pastoral song on the grassland. In the man's gentle voice, Chu Li's mood relaxed little by little.
It seemed that everyone was on the grassland, seeing the flowers and grass, smelling the faint fishy smell of the grass, and the singing of the little shepherd girl.
Her condition gradually relaxed, and finally she relaxed completely and fell asleep leaning on Shang Li's shoulder.
He lowered his head to make sure she was asleep.
Shang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he is a psychiatrist, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Shang Li and Chu Li were trapped in the elevator, the world outside was already in chaos.
The traffic lights on the road were out of power, cars were driving randomly, and there were crowds everywhere.
The hospital diagonally opposite was in a state of chaos due to a sudden power outage.
Fortunately, the intensive care unit and operating area have backup power supplies and were not affected.
Yun Xi was still sitting beside the hospital bed, holding Tang Si's palm in his hand.
Caressing his face with one hand while talking to him, stimulating the man's brain activity.
"Husband, did you hear, I'm here!"
"Everyone on the plane has been rescued safely, you don't have to worry."
"The baby and I are waiting for you. You have to wake up soon. You promised me that you would stay with me after the flight. Don't let your words go unfulfilled!"
…
Boqing stood not far away, listening to her voice, her eyes were also red.
Hearing the noise outside, he walked out of the intensive care unit in confusion.
"what happened?"
"There's a power outage. There's no power downstairs or on several floors now." The head nurse passing by said with a sad look on her face, "I heard that the transformer on Cross Street is out of order."
Boqing frowned and glanced at the dark corridor with the lights off on both sides.
"How long can your spare ICU power last?"
"It should last for more than ten hours, so you don't have to worry."
As soon as the head nurse finished speaking, the lights in the intensive care unit suddenly turned on.
All machines stopped instantly.
Bo Qing's heart beat heavily and she grabbed the head nurse's arm.
"Where is the artificial respirator?"
Now, Tang Si is in a critical period of his life.
Once oxygen is deprived, the consequences will be disastrous.
