Chapter 36: Power outage
The aroma of noodles wafted through the kitchen, and the two people sat silent, except for the sound of noodles and chopsticks clashing against the edge of the bowl.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire room went out, leaving both men in darkness unable to see each other.
There was endless darkness in front of him, which made Lin Luo's heart tighten. She has mild night blindness and can see darker than the average person. I usually don't care too much, but Lin Luo has been afraid of the dark since he was a child, and although he is not as exaggerated as he was when he was a child, he is always a little afraid of the dark.
In the darkness, Lin Luo's hand on the table was suddenly tightly wrapped by another big hand, and before she could react, a magnetic and warm voice came from her ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Lin Luo's body stiffened, and his thoughts were pulled back to more than ten years ago in an instant. It was also a night of blackouts, but to make matters worse, there was lightning and thunder outside, and it was raining and rainy.
Both parents went to work, leaving her at home at the age of five. The bad weather and the dark night scared her to hide in the closet and cry. Later, it was the young Shao Yang who braved the wind and rain and found her with a flashlight. Five-year-old Lin Luo threw himself into Shao Yang's arms as if he had found a savior, sobbing incessantly.
Shao Yang, who was about the same age as himself, patted her back comfortingly, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Lin Luo came back to her senses from her childhood memories, perhaps it was a magic in Shao Yang's voice that gradually calmed down her slightly uneasy heart.
"It's ...... Is there a power outage? Lin Luo blinked, but his eyes were fixed on his hand on the table. Although she couldn't see clearly, the warm touch on the back of her hand was extraordinarily real.
"Maybe it's the power brake jumping, I'll take a look." Shao Yang said and stood up, but his hand never let go. He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and led Lin Luo towards the switch box in the dark.
In the darkness, no one can see anyone, and can only rely on the faint light of the mobile phone to illuminate the road under their feet. If it was usual, Lin Luo would have pulled out his hand a long time ago, and would not allow such an intimate move to appear now.
But now, Lin Luo just wants to be greedy for more warmth that matches his childhood memories.
In front of the switch box, Shao Yang himself was already tall, and he could easily see the situation in the switch box, he pointed his mobile phone at the switch box, looked at it carefully for a while, and said lightly: "There is no trip, do you see if your mobile phone has received a text message notification of a power outage?" ”
When Lin Luo heard this, he remembered that his mobile phone was still in his bag, so he quickly let go of the hand holding Shao Yang and ran towards the sofa in the living room, his steps were a little hurried, and he couldn't see anything in the dark, and his knee accidentally hit the edge of the coffee table, which made Lin Luo snort in pain.
"What's wrong?" Shao Yang heard the voice and spoke.
"No, nothing." Lin Luo hurriedly said, endured the pain, fumbled on the sofa for a while, and finally found the mobile phone in the bag, and sure enough, the screen showed a power outage notification text message sent at six o'clock in the evening, but she was sleeping in Shao Yang's car at that time.
"There was indeed a power outage, I didn't see it when I fell asleep before." Lin Luo sat on the sofa and said with annoyance, and now the battery of the mobile phone is only a dozen percent.
I don't know when, Shao Yang was already sitting next to Lin Luo, the light of the mobile phone was shining on her knees, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said, "Are you injured just because you have a free doctor?" The tone was full of joking.
Lin Luo twitched the corners of his mouth and muttered quietly, "I don't want to get hurt either......"
The two of them were so close, and they naturally heard what they said to each other clearly, and Shao Yang hooked the corners of his lips slightly. He raised his head, looked straight at Lin Luo with his eyes, and asked, "Do you have medicine for bruises at home?" ”
"Yes." Lin Luo said, immediately opened the drawer of the coffee table, and took out a small box placed inside.
Shao Yang took the small box, glanced at the contents inside, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The medicine box is quite well prepared." ”
Lin Luo smiled and didn't speak. I saw Shao Yang open the medicine box, take out the medicine wine that was bruised by the bruises, and pour it on the cotton swab.
"Or I'll do it myself." Lin Luo just wanted to reach out and take the cotton swab, but Shao Yang dodged it. He squatted down, stared at his slightly broken knees, and said, "Just take your phone and give me a light, good." ”
The last word was given a little upward tail note by Shao Yang, which seemed extremely entangled and ambiguous. Hearing this, Lin Luo's ears were slightly hot, she picked up her mobile phone and shone it on her knees.
Shao Yang lowered his eyes slightly under the light, staring at his knees intently, his expression was indescribably patient, he gently wiped the wound with a cotton swab, and blew while wiping, and the slightest cool air brushed the wound, which would not make Lin Luo feel pain.
Lin Luo looked at his delicate facial features, and sighed in his heart how could someone look so perfect, compared to him, he seemed to be a person created by Nuwa casually.
Suddenly, the handsome face magnified several times in front of him, and the distance between the two people was only one centimeter. Lin Luo was startled by the cold approach, she hurriedly sat back a little and said, "Why are you so close?" ”
Shao Yang blinked his eyes and said rather innocently: "I see that you like to peek at my face so much, it is better to get closer and let you see enough at once." ”
Lin Luo's face turned red suddenly, and he quickly turned his head sideways, looked into the distance, and whispered to himself: "I was in a daze just now, how could I peek at you......"
Shao Yang looked at her ears that were gradually turning red, and the smile in her eyes became thicker. didn't expose the clumsy lie, stood up, and threw the cotton swab in his hand into the trash.
"Well, are you going back?" When Lin Luo saw him get up, he couldn't care about the shyness just now, so he quickly turned his head to look at him and asked.
"Or you want to keep me here to sleep? If you strongly invite it, I am not impossible. Shao Yang didn't know what was going on tonight, and teased her vigorously.
Lin Luo desperately resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him, and pushed him by the back to drive him out of the door.
"It's too dark, I won't send it, go slowly." Lin Luo stood by the door and said with a grin, like a cat that had stolen something.
Shao Yang suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Lin Luo's hair, and said with a smile: "Good night, have a good dream." Remember to turn on the flashlight later, and don't accidentally fall so inadvertently. ”
The sudden intimate and caring words couldn't help but make Lin Luo stunned, what she didn't like the most was to have any overly intimate behavior with the opposite sex, but now Shao Yang did it so naturally, but it didn't make Lin Luo feel uncomfortable.
"Well, then you go back and be careful, bye-bye." Lin Luo's soft voice was particularly pleasant at night, and Shao Yang left here after saying goodbye to her.
Lin Luo looked at his back as he gradually disappeared into the night, and closed the door for a long time before walking back to the room.
