The whole city was plunged into darkness.

For modern people who are accustomed to bright lights, this kind of dark scene is difficult for people to adapt to for a while.

Liu Ansheng turned on the high beams of the car, and the speed of travel was not too fast, carefully observing the surrounding scene.

Unlike when he left at noon, all the shops had lost their lighting, and the buildings on both sides of the street had lost their power to support them.

After careful investigation for a while, nothing unusual was found.

I stepped on the accelerator a little, and the speed of the car also increased, and I drove towards the place where I was living.

When he arrived at the neighborhood where he lived, it was the same as when he came, all of which were dark.

The car stopped.

Liu Ansheng walked down from the car, did not close the door, but walked directly into the building.

He was already planning to leave this place.

Because the rented house is on the fifth floor, the city has begun to stop supplying electricity, although the diesel generator can temporarily solve this problem, but the floor where I live is really a bit high, and the infrastructure of the community itself is not perfect.

There is no such thing as an elevator, so many items are relatively troublesome to transport.

The speed up the stairs sped up a bit.

When passing by the door where Xu Shuyao lived on the second floor, Liu Ansheng suddenly stopped.

At first, he stood motionless, as if thinking about something.

After half a ring, he quietly turned his head to look at the closed door of the other party's house......

There's no denying it.

Liu Ansheng had contact with the woman named Xu Shuyao twice, and the other party did not leave a very good impression on him.

People are a little selfish after all, maybe in modern society, in the face of a good-looking girl, they will be more or less considerate or humble to each other, but now there is no other living city except for them......

According to Liu Ansheng's character, he will not be overly accommodating just because the other party is a girl.

From these two contacts, it is not difficult to see that the other party's level of self-care is extremely low.

It's hard to believe that this kind of thing can happen to an adult, even though he has sound limbs, but he faints weakly because he has not eaten.

Liu Ansheng felt that the other party was a fool, and it was not without basis.

He seems to be able to imagine that if it is the plot of the movie now, then according to Xu Shuyao's character, he must be a pig teammate who will often get into trouble and cause a lot of trouble, and it will be useless.

And in the other party's room, when she asked about the text message, she didn't know anything.

The amount of information you know is even worse than your own......

Women are very troublesome creatures.

It's also a very cunning creature.

They are good at pretending, they are good at lying, and they are good at pushing their mistakes onto others in an unreasonable way, and even pointing at others in reverse.

It is precisely because of experiencing similar things that Liu Ansheng subconsciously wants to draw boundaries with women.

That's why he quit his last job.

Nothing else, the women in the company are like annoying mosquitoes, chirping around them, making people feel helpless and disgusted.

Such a statement sounds a bit hypocritical, but Liu Ansheng was also naïve in the past.

In the same way, reality has taught him a hard lesson.

While making him feel deceitful, he is also deeply aware of the horror of women.

It seemed to recall the past of high school in his mind, and Liu Ansheng's expressionless face looked even darker in the dark environment.

After one last glance at the closed security door, he turned and walked upstairs.

"Carrying her will only hold me back......"

muttered a sentence at a very low volume, as if in order to strengthen his beliefs, Liu Ansheng began to speed up the upstairs.

From the second floor to the third floor.

Came to the fourth floor.

Came to ......

The frequency of going up the stairs slowed down until it was two steps away from reaching the doorway.

Liu Ansheng looked at the figure snuggled up to his door, sitting on the ground, holding his legs with both hands, and burying his face deeply in his legs......

Xu Shuyao, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, seemed to hear the movement, and after about three seconds or so, he slowly raised his head.

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the position of the staircase.

By the moonlight, he looked at the figure that appeared in front of him.

"You're here......"

He spoke softly, as if he was a little weak, or because he had been sitting here for too long.

She subconsciously wanted to get up, but just stood up a little against the security door against her back, and accidentally fell to the side.

was obviously able to reach out and hold the other party, but Liu Ansheng didn't do that.

Just watching each other fall in front of him.

"Hmmm......"

Probably because she had fallen her elbow, a groan of pain came from her mouth, and she hurriedly stood up with her palm on the ground, and raised the arm that was faintly painful to observe, but because the environment was too dark, she didn't see if the skin was broken.

Putting down her arm, Xu Shuyao did not choose to continue wasting time.

After getting up from the ground, he first raised his hand and patted his back and the parts that had just touched the ground, and then looked at Liu Ansheng, who was standing on the steps slightly shorter than himself.

Not so skillfully squeezed out a hint of a smile.

Ignoring her arms, perhaps because of nervousness, her fingers kept picking at the corners of her clothes.

Raising his left hand, he pointed to the sensor light at the entrance of the corridor with some nervousness.

"Oh!"

He first raised his voice and then said.

"Look...... The lights are not on, and the power is out in the community......"

“……”

"When is the call...... Did you know......"

"Are you playing dumb?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Liu Ansheng's words, Xu Shuyao didn't react for a while.

Seeing that the other party continued to pretend to be stupid and sweet, Liu Ansheng seemed to have no patience to play with the other party.

raised his legs, stepped forward, and stood in front of Xu Shuyao.

The advantage in height made him look down at the other party.

may have been taken aback by Liu Ansheng's sudden move, Xu Shuyao subconsciously stepped back.

until the back fits against the wall.

"I ...... Pretending to be stupid? What do you mean by that......

"You're still playing this with me, aren't you?"

"I don't know...... You...... What are you talking about......"

It may be the atmosphere at the moment, or Liu Ansheng's tone.

Xu Shuyao, who had a very high impression of him, actually felt a little scared at this moment.

Obviously, the other party has a sunny and handsome face, and he takes care of himself so gently in the morning......

Liu Ansheng's eyes looked directly at each other.

Through the moonlight shining in from the window of the corridor, I could barely see the other party's face.

Looking at her expression of surprise at the moment.

His brow furrowed slowly......

Again, with an expression like he had been greatly wronged......

It's disgusting.
