That night, Gu Sinian couldn't persuade me and sent me back to the apartment before he felt relieved.

Downstairs in the apartment, he asked the driver to deliver some of my favorite snacks upstairs.

"I don't eat snacks anymore." I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled reluctantly. He seemed to feel sorry for me and patted my head and said, "Eat less, otherwise you will get cavities and cry about toothache and ask me to take you to the dentist."

When I was a child, I loved eating sweets and always had cavities. When I was five or six years old, I started needing various fillings. It was Gu Sinian who took me through it and encouraged me.

I didn't expect he still remembered it.

"Sister Xiaolin is the one who loves sweets the most. Brother Si Nian, you asked me to find Sister Xiaolin all these years, but I couldn't find her." I remembered that before he went to prison, he told me to find Sister Xiaolin.

Sister Xiaolin was a sister from an orphanage. Later she was adopted, but the adoption information was false and no one could find it.

Gu Sinian started from scratch and became a new business elite. He works so hard not only for me but also to find Sister Xiaolin.

Because that was the person he loved.

"It's okay. I will continue to look for her. I will never stop until the end of time."

I nodded and turned to go into the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, Huo Yan, who had come up from the underground first floor, was leaning against the wall of the elevator with his eyes closed, looking very tired.

The moment the elevator door opened, he opened his eyes, stood up straight, and saw that it was me.

But he glanced at me and then looked at Gu Sinian behind me.

He looked at me calmly but didn't say hello. Just like his personality, when he didn't want to talk, no one could get him to say a word.

But the moment Gu Sinian saw him, the bag of snacks in his hand, which he was about to hand to me, froze at that moment.

When I wanted to ask him if he knew Huo Yan, Huo Yan spoke first: "Are you out of prison?"

Gu Sinian stood up straight and bowed to him, "Yes."

This was the first time I saw Gu Sinian being respectful to someone. It seemed as if all the energy in his thin body was put into this bow.

"Why don't you come in?" Huo Yan didn't continue talking to him. Instead, he glanced at me and let me in.

Only then did I take the snacks from Gu Sinian's hand. He seemed to be much more relieved at this moment.

"So you are neighbors. I feel relieved. Come up quickly." As he spoke, he rubbed my hair.

I nodded obediently and entered the elevator.

But Huo Yan's expression seemed to be much uglier than before.

When the elevator door closed, I asked curiously, "Do you know Brother Si Nian?"

"Not familiar." He answered indifferently.

But how would someone who didn’t know him know that he was in prison?

Just as I was about to continue asking, the elevator suddenly shook violently, and the lights in the elevator flickered.

I grabbed Huo Yan's arm to prevent him from falling when the elevator fell.

Until there was a loud bang and the elevator fell heavily. Huo Yan grabbed my hand and held me in his arms.

A lot of dust fell from the top of my head, and he covered my hair to prevent the dust from falling on my head.

We both faced the fact that the elevator was broken down very calmly.

It’s as if we have all experienced life and death.

Not afraid anymore.

He hugged me with one hand and reached out with the other to press the elevator's emergency bell, but there was no response.

I took out my cell phone but there was no signal.

I jokingly said, "Brother Si Nian happened to prepare a lot of snacks for me, which should be enough to keep us going for a few days."

In the dim light, I handed him a piece of bread and he said in a deep voice, "You are calm."

"Doctor Huo taught me well. On the operating table, I would operate on someone even if they hurt me. Who has such a strong mental quality than me?"

My self-deprecating words made him tighten his arms around me.

When I handed the bread to his mouth, the lights in the elevator went dark at that moment.

For a moment, I didn't know where to stuff the bread into him.

My fingertips accidentally touched his soft, wet and hot place, and my face turned red in the dark. Fortunately, the lights were turned off and he couldn't see anything.

That place was the lip where I seemed to have tasted a few times last time.

In the pitch-black place, Huo Yan still accurately grasped my wrist and snatched the bread from my hand.

Time passed by minute by minute, but no one came to rescue.

I started to feel a little anxious because the darker the place, the more I would think of the feeling of being hurt in the black wooden house.

My body started to shiver with a chill.

"What's wrong with you?" Huo Yan said as he reached out to hold my hand. At that moment, I reflexively pushed him away and shouted, "Don't touch me!"

Yes!

No one should touch me at this time.

"Go away." I no longer cared that Huo Yan would laugh at my hot-and-cold attitude.

The only thing in my mind was how Zhang Baibo bullied me at that time, and my ears were filled with Zhang Baibo's wild laughter.

I covered my ears: "Don't laugh! Get out of here!"

The world seemed to be spinning, and I even felt nauseous, scared, and terrified.

My scalp was tingling and I forgot I was in an elevator.

"Yu Xinghe."

I don’t know how many times Huo Yan called me.

Finally, his slender hands held my waist, and then I felt a hot breath on my lips, followed by a softness that swept over me.

I don’t know how long it took, but the panic and fear in my heart were soothed.

The moment I slowly regained consciousness, the elevator lights came on.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw myself in Huo Yan's arms, hugging and kissing him.

His face was redder than mine.

Before he could react and pushed it open, the elevator door opened.

"Huo..."

The person outside called out "Doctor Huo", then saw our condition and quickly turned around and said, "Doctor Huo, the elevator is fine."

I then pushed him away, pretended to tidy up my clothes, and puffed out my cheeks and exhaled continuously.

The person who came seemed to be the driver who drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom last time.

How come he was able to find us so punctually?

"Huo Yan, you already knew someone was coming to rescue us, so that's why you're so calm?"

I looked at his indifferent yet noble face, and it was hard to imagine how he had broken through this psychological defense when he had just used such an extreme method in order to make me sober up.

"I just made an appointment with the Huo family to discuss some medical conditions." Huo Yan walked out of the elevator first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to me like a gentleman, raised his eyes slightly and looked at me, motioning me to go out with him.

I glanced at the Huo family behind him, and instead of holding his hand, I walked out by myself and entered my own apartment first.

I only heard someone outside the door: "Does Miss Yu have any misunderstandings about the Huo family?"
