It was a strange night.

At about seven o'clock, the entire community suddenly went without power.

The angry residents almost blew up the phone number of the property company, and there was no news.

It was almost eight o'clock when everyone received a message, probably saying that the nearby cable was broken and might not be repaired until tomorrow morning.

The neighborhood is full of darkness.

People feel the silence of the night in their restlessness......

When the power went out, Gao Yue's family happened to be eating. Ah Qin came over tonight, and Gao Yue's parents were very happy and cooked a lot of delicious hometown dishes.

A few candles were lit and everyone finished their dinner in candlelight. At around eight o'clock, Ah Qin said he was leaving. Fortunately, they were on the seventh floor, and they were not very tired to walk down. Gao Yue sent it to the door and told her to be careful.

……

Xiao Yong is delivering fruit.

A resident asked for two boxes of fruit, but he lived on the 26th floor, the elevator was out of power, Xiaoyong waited for twenty minutes, and saw that the power had not been restored.

Xiao Yong carried the fruit on her shoulders and walked up the stairs.

The emergency light in the stairwell is estimated to be broken, and it is pitch black everywhere, and you can't see your fingers. Xiao Yong took cautious steps, touching up one step at a time. When I got to the third floor, there was only a faint light from the window.

When I walked to the fifth floor, I was confronted by a girl.

Because the light was too dim, Xiao Yong couldn't see her appearance clearly. The girl saw Xiaoyong carrying two large boxes of things, and quickly turned on the flashlight in the mobile phone and shone it in front of him.

"There's a power outage, and you're still carrying so much? Be careful, I'll take a picture of it for you. "The girl was welcoming.

"No, I'm going to the 26th floor, you can't take this long. Thank you. Xiao Yong said gratefully. There was a warmth in my heart.

"26th floor?!" The girl was taken aback.

"yes, there was a sudden power outage today, which is really unlucky."

"You might as well put it in the car, or somewhere, and wait for the elevator to resume before you get it." The girl said.

"No, these fruits were ordered by the customer upstairs, and I said that they should be delivered as soon as possible, and I can't lose my trust! It's okay, I'm just tired, in business, integrity is the most important! Xiao Yong put the fruit down and rested.

"Oh...... 26th floor, can you afford it? The girl's tone was full of concern.

A person who met in Pingshui was so enthusiastic, it seems that there are still many good people in this world. Xiao Yong thought to herself.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'll do my best, I should be able to get up...... Just have faith. Xiao Yong looked at her, but in the night, the girl's face was a little blurry, he suddenly wanted to see a little clearly, but he was helpless and embarrassed to turn on the flashlight to shine on others.

The girl fell silent suddenly.

Time passed by second, and there was silence all around.

"I'm going to keep going, thank you. Be careful when you go down. Bye. Xiao Yong broke the silence.

"Hmmm......"

"Otherwise, I'll take another photo for you, I'm tired of climbing, I'll go down." The girl suddenly said, gentle and crisp, like the sound of heaven.

Xiao Yong was silent.

He nodded gratefully to the girl and carried the fruit on his shoulder.

The girl walked behind Xiao Yong and used a mobile phone flashlight to help him shine ahead.

None of them spoke. Silently move forward.

When she walked to the 13th floor, Xiao Yong was a little out of breath. The girl finally spoke:

"Take a break."

Xiao Yong stopped and put things down.

"I want to smoke a cigarette, is that okay?" He sat down.

"Okay, don't be afraid, my cousin is also a smoker." The girl smiled.

"I'll move on when I'm done. You should be tired, you don't need to help me guide the way, go down. ”

"I ...... Touched by your spirit, I suddenly thought...... Either way, I'll accompany you to the 26th floor. The girl said.

"Silly girl, how old are you?"

"Just over a year out of college, what about you?"

"Older than you."

"Oh."

The two of them were suddenly silent again.

The window next to the stairwell, a cool breeze blew in, bringing in the night. In the silent space, silence strikes again, and only two beating hearts can be heard, pounding......

……

With each floor, the girl would silently count in her heart.

When they reached the 20th floor, they all stopped.

"20 is a good number." Xiao Yong said suddenly. The numbers 520, 320 came to mind.

"yes, what 520, it's so popular." The girl gasped and replied.

Xiao Yong's heart was shocked.

……

After resting for a while, continue to climb up.

There were only 6 floors left, and their pace slowed down.

…… Finally arrived.

Xiaoyong brought the fruit into the customer's house, and the middle-aged man was very moved, handed them some tissues to wipe their sweat, and prepared to pour tea. Xiao Yong smiled and said no, she had to rush back to the store to be busy.

The two walked down slowly. No one spoke.

When she was about to the 10th floor, the girl suddenly said:

"Hey, let me tell you something...... A long time ago, I met a boy at the corner of the elevator door of this building. I've only seen him a few times, but I've never forgotten him. Alas...... You say, I'm like this, isn't it stupid? ”

"You often deliver fruit here, don't you? Probably saw the boy. However, I can't describe what he looks like...... Alas...... It's just that I remember the look in my eyes and the general expression at that time, heh, it's actually a feeling...... So...... I don't know how to ask you to keep an eye on me. The girl plucked up her courage and continued.

……

Xiao Yong's heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his chest.

I don't know what words to use to describe the ecstasy and excitement at this moment!

The longing of the past, the hardships of missing, and the surprises encountered...... Have mixed feelings about...... Xiao Yong's tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, but the surroundings were dim, and the girl didn't notice it.

Xiao Yong stood stupidly in place, motionless.

……

The girl seemed to sense something. She looked up at Xiao Yong.

Time seemed to stand still again......

"What? You're also without power? The girl couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yong came back to her senses at this time.

"You...... Can you leave me the phone? If one day, I see that boy, I call ...... You ......" Xiao Yong plucked up her courage.

"Okay, scan WeChat." The girl is very cheerful.

"Or ...... Leave a phone call, my WeChat is all about recommending fruits......" Xiaoyong said.

The girl didn't say anything and gave him the number without thinking.

I went down the stairs quickly, and in a blink of an eye, I had arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

The girl waved goodbye to Xiaoyong, and then rode away.

Xiao Yong stayed where she was in a daze......

He didn't know why he didn't say it, because he wasn't ready? Or did the girl appear too suddenly and catch him a little off guard?

Happiness is sometimes like a butterfly, it's hard to get hold of when you're chasing it; However, when you sit quietly, it can land on you.

Xiao Yong thought to herself.

The night is like a tide, and in the cold wind, the willow branches are fluttering in the distance. At night when there are no street lights, the moonlight is even more precious......
