Chapter 44: The Basement Glimmer
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the dark. β
Brother Shen glared at Lin Xuanran, who said this, and after seeing him walk into the supermarket and take out two bottles of water, he glanced at him again.
"6 pieces. Brother Shen snorted in his heart, turned around and said to Guo Sisi: "Sister, I must ask the electrician to come over to repair it as soon as possible, don't worry!"
Guo Sisi looked at him, then at Lin Ranran, pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, but she finally nodded at the landlord.
"Brother Shen, that, I'll go back first, thank you for your emergency lights......" Guo Sisi said, opened the door of the supermarket, and Lin Ran also went out with her.
"Brother Lin, I think the landlord may have misunderstood you...... That's why ......"
"It's okay, don't think about it. β
Lin suddenly said and handed Guo Sisi a bottle of drink, and the expression on his face changed from the cold just now to a smile at himself, this contrast made Guo Sisi can't help but feel moved.
"Hmm, thank you, thank you......" If someone else gave it, Guo Sisi wouldn't have taken it, but Lin Ranran, Guo Sisi had no reason not to take it.
"But, Brother Lin, the emergency lights are gone, what should you do? It's pitch dark underground......
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the dark. β
Guo Sisi saw that Lin Ran just shook his head slightly, and took the lead in walking towards the entrance and exit of the basement.
The cold wind outside gradually rose, Guo Sisi looked up at the full moon outside, wrapped his clothes tightly and trotted to catch up with him.
Coming down from the long staircase, Guo Sisi finally walked side by side with Lin Ran on the corridor with yellow emergency lights, and after a while, she arrived in the small alley, Guo Sisi also saw the door number of No. 71, she had to go in.
"Brother Lin, that ......" Guo Sisi saw that Lin suddenly opened the door lock, and hurriedly stopped him again.
"What's wrong?"
"I ......" Guo Sisi wanted to say, do you want me to go to you and talk to us or something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.
"It's okay, Brother Lin, good night. Guo Sisi said as he unscrewed the door lock, flashed into the room, and then turned on the small blue emergency light.
The pale yellow light instantly illuminated the five-square-meter small room a lot, although it was a little darker, but it was much better than the faint light of the mobile phone.
Guo Sisi thought of Lin Ran again, he could only rely on the faint light of his mobile phone to get through this difficult night tonight, could he do it?
After thinking about it for a while, Guo Sisi sighed, she sat on the chair, and looked at the drink bottle that Lin Ran gave her.
After less than ten seconds, Guo Sisi stood up violently.
"Wouldn't it be nice for meβIβI'm pretending to change his book, and then chatting with him by the way, and getting closer? β
Guo Sisi was a little impulsive, she hurriedly picked up the book of "The Dancing Girl of Izu" from the table, and arranged her hairstyle in front of the mirror.
"Okay, try to talk about it for an hour, and then ...... Then it depends on the situation. Guo Sisi felt that her face was a little red, and her eyes saw the can of wine on the desk, whether she used it today or not depends on the specific situation.
Guo Sisi took a deep breath, took out the emergency light, locked the door, and came to the front of the door of room 73.
"Brother Lin, are you, have you slept?" Guo Sisi plucked up the courage and knocked on the door.
"Ah, Guo Sisi, you wait. Lin Ranran's voice sounded from inside, and then the door of No. 73 was immediately opened.
"Brother Lin, you ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, that, I'm here...... By the way, I'm here to return the book!" Guo Sisi couldn't help but be a little dazed when she saw Lin Ranran's face, which was a little hazy under the light, she was stunned, and hurriedly said the excuse.
"Oh, return the book...... It's pretty fast. β
"It's very slow, I've been very busy lately, so I'll ......" Guo Sisi looked at Lin Ranran, thinking to himself why didn't this piece of wood let me in, do you want me to hand over the book to him at the door, and then let me go back by myself?
"That's right. β
Guo Sisi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated when he saw that Lin Ran really stretched out his hand directly.
"Brother Lin, I still want to continue to borrow books from you, okay?" Guo Sisi sighed in his heart, knowing that he had to take the initiative in everything.
"Absolutely. β
Lin suddenly got out of the way, and Guo Sisi had a chance to walk in.
Facing some familiar bookshelves, Guo Sisi's mind was obviously not on those almost brand new books, she pretended to be trying to pick out books, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Ran who was sitting on the small stool next to her.
"Brother Lin, do you have any recommendations?" Guo Sisi pointed to the bookshelf.
"What type do you like?"
"Hmm...... I can do anything, as long as it's not too esoteric, I'm fine. Guo Sisi replied casually.
"Well, I recommend this "Wuthering Heights", it is very suitable for you to read. β
Guo Sisi saw that Lin suddenly approached him quickly, and then accurately found the book on the bookshelf and handed it to his hand.
"What are you doing so fast...... Guo Sisi couldn't help but shout in her heart, she was speechless, and now she had to find a new reason to continue to stay here.
"Brother Lin, by the way, have you washed up?" Guo Sisi regretted this sentence after saying this, why did he say this.
"Not yet, but, let's go along?"
"Hey, ah, okay!" Guo Sisi was overjoyed, he was able to go with Lin Ranran, which was also crooked, so that he could also shorten the distance a little closer.
"Well, I'll wait a minute. β
Guo Sisi saw that Lin Ran seemed to be ready, and he even changed into slippers and had already held the basin in his hand.
Guo Sisi hurriedly ran out of Lin Ranran's room, and hurriedly took out the toiletries from his room, almost hitting Lin Ran's body headlong.
"That, that, let's go together. Guo Sisi deliberately accentuated the words "we are together", she raised her head slightly, but found that Lin Ran still did not react a little.
"Well, let's go. β
The two walked side by side to the water room, and after grooming and dressing, they returned to the alley.
Guo Sisi hated it so much, she hated why she didn't take the initiative to say even a word to Lin Ran in front of so many people in the washing just now, and she also hated why there were so many people in the water room at this time.
But it's too late to change, and she must now bring her emergency lights and "Wuthering Heights" she doesn't want to see back to No. 71.
Guo Sisi sat on the bed in a daze, and she sighed again.
She was unusually anxious about her intelligence.
"I'm so stupid to say anything bad, and I ended up getting myself into a hole. β
She simply slipped under the covers and turned off the emergency lights.
However, when the boundless darkness pressed over, a strong sense of fear and suffocation hit her at the same time.
Guo Sisi remembered again that he was at a depth of five or six meters underground, and the room was almost airtight except for the ventilation fan.
She began to fantasize about something horrible and then became more and more frightened, and less and less afraid to stay in this room anymore.
Guo Sisi knocked on Lin Ran's door.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Lin, that, I'...... Can I sleep in your room tonight?"
