Chapter 18 Power outages
Hearing this, Qi Xiaoran's head was buried lower, and her pink little face was embarrassed and red, and she didn't know what to do.
"It's not your problem, and I don't mean to blame you. ”
Xiang Nuanyang realized that his tone just now was too blunt, and Toshihiko's face showed a trace of annoyance, and when he spoke again, his tone slowed down a lot.
"When will the SIM card be replaced?"
"Tomorrow. She remembers that the customer service answer was seven business days.
Xiang Nuanyang nodded thoughtfully, glanced at her low-hanging head, tilted her head towards the door casually, and said, "Then let's go." ”
"Mr. Xiang, can you tell me where we are going?" Qi Xiaoran looked up at him, his clear eyes full of confusion.
Since she came out of work, she has never been clear about what Xiang Nuanyang called herself out for, and she followed all the way stupidly, this humble and passive attitude made her feel at a loss.
Xiang Nuanyang looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a clear and easy look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just looking for you to eat." ”
"Just eating?" Qi Xiaoran was surprised.
At first, she saw him appear in front of her, and only dropped a sentence, so she let her follow, she thought there was something important, but it turned out that it was just eating?
"Well, I'll go drive first, put the things in first, and you wait for me downstairs. He carried the bag and held it up, "Souvenirs between friends, and Fang Ning's." ”
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Xiang. ”
After listening to his explanation in the second half of the sentence, Qi Xiaoran realized that this gift was just a gift between friends, and she even mistakenly thought that she was a special existence in his heart.
Thinking of this, she wrinkled her nose slightly embarrassed.
She waited on the side of the road for a short time, and then got into Xiang Nuanyang's car, because she was used to not interfering with him driving when she was in the car, so as soon as she got in the car, she began to travel in space.
She thought about things so intently that she unconsciously raised her hand to support her cheeks, thinking to herself what to do to take the initiative, her preferences for him were almost blank, and there seemed to be no information except that he liked blue.
But about his shortcomings, Chen Fangning told her a lot at the beginning.
It was the rush hour after work, the Dongjiang Bridge was full of cars, Xiang Nuanyang put one hand on the steering wheel, turned her head to look at the person in the passenger seat next to her, she held her cheeks, her willow eyebrows sometimes frowned, sometimes stretched, as if thinking about important things, and asked lazily: "What are you thinking?"
After Qi Xiaoran heard the voice, his body trembled, as if he had been discovered by someone doing something bad, he bit his lip and turned his head, his head shook slightly, "Uh...... Didn't think about anything. ”
"It's a traffic jam again. She turned around and found that they were stopped in the middle of the Dongjiang Bridge, their eyes flickering, and from time to time they peeked at the warm sun, and a light smile of unknown meaning was on his face, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if her heart had been spied on.
"Why don't I have a treat tonight, should I be a pick-up for you?" she stared at the license plate of the vehicle in front of her without squinting, and took the initiative to change the subject.
Xiang Nuanyang's body returned to the right, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "It's up to you." ”
"And what do you want to eat?"
"Everything. ”
The autumn wind gusts, the brilliant red sunset fades, and the half-round moon hangs in the deep sea blue night sky.
On the green path in Shuanghu Garden, Qi Xiaoran walked in front, followed by Xiang Nuanyang, who was carrying things, and the street lamp shone on the two of them, casting two shadows of different lengths on the ground in front of her.
"Drop!"
A red access card is attached to the door of the apartment building and makes a sound.
"Mr. Xiang, why don't I take it?" She stood in front of the door and stretched out a hand, but was slapped down by Xiang Nuanyang's raised hand, and the momentary skin touch made her startled, as if she had been shocked.
"I'm a man, let you take things, decent?" Xiang Nuanyang raised his eyebrows lightly and walked in gently.
Qi Xiaoran hurriedly followed, and after pressing the floor, he couldn't help but hold the hand he had just patted, trying to protect the residual warmth he had just sent in the palm of his hand.
Arriving at the door of the apartment, she trotted past Xiang Nuanyang, took out the key to open the door, then pressed her back against the door, stretched out her hand, and said, "I'll take it in, you wait here for me for a while, and I'll come out immediately." ”
When she was in the elevator, she remembered that she was upset because she couldn't contact Xiang Nuanyang in the past few days, and she didn't have the leisure to clean up the house.
Xiang Nuanyang's eyes narrowed slightly, handed over the things to her, and stood in the hallway, "You go." ”
"Well, I'm quick. She pursed her lips and walked into the house without changing her shoes.
It gets dark early, and the interior of the house can only be seen clearly by the faint light from the balcony.
Xiang Nuanyang stood in the entrance for a while, the sensor light in the corridor dimmed, he subconsciously looked up and pressed the switch of the living room light, and found that it was not on, and immediately realized that it was likely to be a power outage.
"Qi Xiaoran. He whispered into the darkness, but when there was no response, he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight mode, and closed the door as he walked in.
Qi Xiaoran put things in the room and was walking out, when he suddenly heard the sound of the door closing, and the lights in the house were not on, thinking that Xiang Nuanyang couldn't wait and left, and was anxious to run out.
After running a few steps, a bright white light came, and she didn't have time to stop her steps, so she rushed over by inertia, hitting a warm human wall at the same time, and heard a muffled snort from the other party.
Xiang Nuanyang was hit by her and staggered backwards, and accidentally tripped over her foot for a while, and the two fell straight to the ground.
"Knock...... Knock ......"
In the quiet night, Qi Xiaoran crouched on his broad and solid chest, the familiar smell of grass came from his nose, and the sound of an accelerated heartbeat sounded in her ears, and she couldn't tell for a while whether it was hers or Xiang Nuanyang.
The phone that fell to the ground only leaked a glimmer of light because the back was close to the ground.
"Right...... I'm sorry. She took a deep breath and propped her hands on the cold tiled floor, ready to get up, only to realize that a large burning palm was pressed against her waist through the fabric.
Xiang Nuanyang coughed lightly, supported her waist, supported the ground with his other hand, and helped her stand up, "Are you hurt?"
"No, what about you?"
"Neither did I. He swept around the darkness, and he still couldn't see anything except the moonlight outside, "Qi Xiaoran, the power is out." ”
"Hmm. Qi Xiaoran nodded, took a step to the side, and wanted to pick up the mobile phone on the ground, but was stopped by the hand that suddenly came out, she turned back in surprise, "Mr. Xiang?"
Xiang Nuanyang couldn't see her movements clearly, but felt her shake a little, thinking that her feet were unstable, and subconsciously reached out to support her, and when she heard her incomprehensible tone, she realized that she had misunderstood, put down her hand, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to pick up my phone. She answered, bent down to pick up the phone, thinking of the panic before she fell just now, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and unconsciously muttered: "I thought you were ..... just now"
She stopped suddenly, her body stiffened slightly, and the light of her phone's flashlight shone on the tiles, refracting a glimmer of light.
Xiang Nuanyang stepped forward, reached out and took the mobile phone, cast the light on the white wall, the living room was a lot brighter, turned around, and asked casually: "What did you think I just did?"
"Nothing. ”
Qi Xiaoran took a small step back, "I'll go to the kitchen to get a candle." ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiang Nuanyang found a box and held the phone firmly, making sure that it would not slip behind, and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, his right hand clenched his fist gently, and the soft touch seemed to be still there.
The collision just now made him a little uneasy.
Qi Xiaoran found two half-burned candles in the dark, and when he walked out, he accidentally bumped into the door frame.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Nuanyang heard the sound and stood up anxiously.
"It's okay, I touched it. ”
A soft voice came, and then, two pinches of fire gradually lit up in the darkness, and as they approached him, he relieved himself and walked towards her.
Qi Xiaoran carefully guarded the firelight, squatted down and stood the candle on the coffee table, raised his head, and smiled at Nuan Yang, "Okay, there's light." ”
The clear autumn pupils are swirling in the waves, shining in the warm yellow shimmer. Xiang Nuanyang's heart suddenly shook, and the feeling of being hit by a cloud struck again, even more powerful than the last time.
"Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry, the first time you came, you actually encountered a power outage. ”
Qi Xiaoran didn't notice his emotional change, and stood up, "You sit here for a while, I'll go see if I can still sit in the elevator." ”
"It's pitch black in the hallway, don't go. ”
"But, what about dinner?" said that she would treat her, she had already developed into dinner friends under the pretense of the two, so that Xiang Nuanyang would get used to having her every time she ate, which was also a way to pursue.
"Do you know how to cook?"
"Yes, yes. She hesitated for a moment, "I'm just afraid that you won't get used to eating." ”
"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater. ”
Xiang Nuanyang carefully bypassed the coffee table, walked to the TV cabinet and picked up the mobile phone, the light shone on her body for a few seconds, moved to the kitchen door, and walked over, "Let's cook, I'm hungry." ”
The cold voice and light footsteps drifted in the darkness, drifting to Qi Xiao's eardrums, like the graceful sound of the piano in the early morning, which actually made her feel refreshed.
"Qi Xiaoran, you're in a daze again. ”
This is a declarative sentence.
She was excited, relieved, and walked into the kitchen following the light of her mobile phone, and saw that Xiang Nuanyang had opened the refrigerator door, her tall and straight figure arched slightly, and the back of her black head shook from side to side, only to hear him speak leisurely.
"Qi Xiaoran, come here. Xiang Nuanyang turned sideways, stood next to the refrigerator, and raised his left hand to wave at her.
She pursed her lips, walked over puzzled, looked up at him, followed his instructions and glanced into the refrigerator, which was empty, and her little face suddenly became confused, "This...... Why don't I cook noodles for you?"
