Chapter 45 - 046: It’s Okay, I’m Here
Qin Mobai lives on the thirty-seventh floor, and at this time, there was no one going downstairs, so the elevator did not stop in between.
Lou Xi watched as the elevator numbers decreased bit by bit, little thoughts stirring in her mind.
She didn’t speak, nor did Qin Mobai; the elevator was engulfed in an eerie silence.
In fact, Lou Xi wanted to personally thank Qin Mobai. Earlier, with Bai Lu present, she felt some words couldn’t be said in front of her.
She always felt that there were little secrets between her and Qin Mobai that others shouldn’t know.
Watching the numbers change from thirty-seven to twenty-seven, then to seventeen, if she didn’t speak up soon, they’d reach the floor.
Lou Xi hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned around.
Looking up, she suddenly discovered that the man with a calm disposition was standing in the elevator, his posture tall and straight, with his hands in his pockets, gazing at her with deep eyes.
Suddenly, their eyes met, and Lou Xi’s gaze plunged into Qin Mobai’s pitch-black eyes.
With a thud, Lou Xi seemed to hear a tremor coming from her chest.
Was it just because she met his gaze?
But this man, really, Lou Xi didn’t have the courage to meet his eyes directly.
He was tall and handsome, with an exceptional aura of freshness that set him apart.
Lou Xi felt like she was not in the same world as him; he was lofty and unreachable.
"Young Master Qin..." Lou Xi began, her lips appearing even more tender under the bright elevator light, so much so that they seemed about to bleed, her twinkling eyes resembling an innocent little rabbit.
Qin Mobai only felt his throat become a bit dry, coughing lightly to ease the discomfort in his body.
"Thank you so much today, you helped me a lot. Of course, your help wasn’t without compensation, but to a girl studying away from home, you’re like a lifesaver to me. Once I start earning money, I’ll definitely repay you right away, you can be sure!" The more Lou Xi spoke, the more confident she felt, eventually meeting Qin Mobai’s eyes once again.
In that glance, Lou Xi felt as if, in the vast universe, only the two people were left.
It was as if she felt her heart move.
Lou Xi immediately turned her head, avoiding Qin Mobai’s gaze.
Her heart beat rapidly, making her experience a wonderful feeling, one she’d never had before, not even with... Rong Zhi.
Why did her heart race and cheeks flush after just a couple of glances at Qin Mobai?
Just as Lou Xi was getting ready to pretend nothing happened, suddenly, all the lights in the elevator went out!
The elevator ceased to function as well!
An elevator malfunction?
The book taught her that in case of elevator malfunction, she should immediately stand against the wall!
"Young Master Qin... is the elevator... broken?" she asked softly, her tone full of worry.
She was especially afraid of the dark, especially in such a confined space.
In the darkness, Qin Mobai’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and then he clasped Lou Xi tightly in his embrace.
"It’s alright, I’m here."
