Overspill

The elevator fell into silence again, only the faint light on the screen of Yu Ci's phone illuminated the scene in this narrow space.

Fang Ruqing leaned against the other wall and sat with her legs bent.

There were Yu Ci and Fang Ruqing's bags on the ground, Yu Ci was sitting in the corner of the elevator, his arm had just hit the wall, and then rubbed against a picture frame on the wall, drawing a shallow wound of a few centimeters.

Just now the elevator descended without warning, but fortunately it got stuck between the first floor and the second floor. The light in the elevator went out after a few struggles. In the darkness, Yu Ci and Fang Ruqing groped for the elevator The emergency number in the phone, and then has been quietly waiting for the arrival of the maintenance personnel.

However, I don't know what went wrong, until Qiao Hexing called just now, the maintenance personnel hadn't arrived yet.

Yu Ci glanced at the battery on the phone, luckily he had just charged it, and there was still 73%, which was enough.

Fang Ruqing also heard Yu Ci's phone call just now, he seemed a little strange, and asked, "Is Qiao Hexing coming to see you?"

Yu Ci's mobile phone was still stuck on the page of Qiao Hexing's address book. Hearing this sentence, he subconsciously pressed the switch off button.

The elevator was plunged into darkness again.

But in the darkness, knowing that his expression would not be seen by the other party, Yu Ci felt a little more at ease, and replied, "Yes, he said he would come right away."

There was a moment of silence in the elevator.Yu Ci thought that Fang Ruqing was just curious for a while, and would not ask any more questions when he got the answer.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, he heard Fang Ruqing's voice again, which was very clear in the dark environment.

"Then he still cares about you," Fang Ruqing asked bluntly, "Are you two lovers?"

Yu Ci almost choked on his own saliva.

Although he couldn't see anything, he still stared in Fang Ruqing's direction and asked in disbelief, "Why do you think so?"

"Didn't you guys get together a lot recently, and the people around Qiao Hexing said that he didn't come out recently, saying that someone was waiting for him when he went home." Fang Ruqing's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "Stay with Qiao Hexing You are the one who is together, right?"

"What's more," Fang Ruqing paused, and Yu Ci seemed to hear him sneer, "Qiao Hexing, if he didn't care about you, let alone being trapped in the elevator, even if you send him to the hospital for emergency treatment, he would just Will pretend to say hello."

The relationship between Fang Ruqing and Qiao Hexing seems to be really not good...

Yu Ci thought silently.

He leaned against the wall of the elevator, and unconsciously drew a circle on his knee with his fingers. The relationship between lovers... It sounds really beautiful and heart-warming.

And he wanted it to be true, too, if he could.

He and Qiao Hexing are an ordinary couple living together, waiting for each other to finish class every day, go home together, and fall asleep holding hands.

Unfortunately he is not.

"You guessed wrong, we're not lovers," Yu Ci said in a low voice, "We're just, for some reason, he's staying at my house, so we're considered...relatives."

In fact, he and Qiao Hexing live together, and it's not a secret in a small area.

Borrowing the relationship is his unified caliber to the outside world.

On the contrary, Qiao Hexing is a bit unreliable on this issue. The last time Yu Ci heard him tell a senior sister that he is now supported by Yu Ci, so he wants to live in Yu Ci's house.

It was bluffing for Qiao Hexing to say these words in a serious manner. The senior sister obviously believed it, nodded in a daze, and even looked at Yu Ci sympathetically.

Thinking of this, Yu Ci couldn't help but smile a little. He always liked the different side of Qiao Hexing that he occasionally showed. He was not cold at all, but rather cute.

Fang Ruqing didn't know whether to believe it or not, and said lightly, "That's it."

But after a while, he said again, "But when Qiao He walks over later, he must be very upset to find that I'm the only one stuck with you."

He seemed to think this matter was very interesting, so he gave a low laugh.

Yu Ci didn't think there was any deep meaning in what he said, and silently complained in his heart: Of course, you two don't have a good relationship at first glance, it's no wonder the senior is happy.

There was another silence.

Yu Ci is not a lively character, and Fang Ruqing is even less talkative.Two people are trapped together, but the number of exchanges is only a handful.

But Fang Ruqing hesitated for a while, as if he was very interested in Yu Ci's relationship, and suddenly asked, "Are you and Xu Cheng very good friends?"

Yu Ci replied obediently, "Yes, the two of us grew up together."

Fang Ruqing paused for two seconds, then asked again, "Then you know him well?"

"Well, we've known each other for eight years, and basically I know everything about him."

"Then did he mention it to you..." Fang Ruqing was uncharacteristically hesitant, a question was repeated on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't ask it, "Did he run away from home before, when he was 16 years old?"

"Ah?" Yu Ci was confused, "Run away from home?"

He thought for a while, "No, it's true that he travels every year, but he never ran away from home. Why do you ask that?"

Fang Ruqing was silent for a moment, "That may be my mistake."

For some reason, Yu Ci keenly felt that Fang Ruqing's mood seemed to be depressed for a moment. He couldn't see Fang Ruqing's expression in the darkness, but felt that he was a little sad for no reason.

After that, Fang Ruqing never asked any more questions.

He seemed to have used up the rest of his speech today, if it wasn't for his shallow breathing, he would hardly be aware of his existence.

Yu Ci waited boredly for another ten minutes in the dark.

His phone rang for the second time without warning, and Qiao Hexing's name was still beating on it.

Yu Ci picked up the phone and heard Qiao Hexing's voice panting slightly.

"I'm outside the elevator in the library, and the maintenance staff has also come," Qiao Hexing's voice was a bit intermittent, and the signal in the elevator was still not good, "Don't be afraid."

In fact, Yu Ci is not afraid.

Although it was dark in the elevator and the current situation was somewhat dangerous, he was not afraid at all.

But Qiao Hexing told him not to be afraid so gently, but he suddenly found support like a child, and suddenly became squeamish, wanting to show his wounds to adults, and want him to feel sorry for him.

"I know," Yu Ci looked up at the direction of the elevator door, "are you outside the door?"

"Yes," Qiao Hexing replied briefly and forcefully, "I'm right next to you."

Yu Ci's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers couldn't help but quietly touched the door of the elevator in the darkness.

Of course he knew that Qiao Hexing was right where his fingers touched, but across this door was Qiao Hexing, and he rushed over to find him.

"It will be fine soon," Qiao Hexing still comforted him on the phone, "It will be fine."

Yu Ci could already hear noises coming from outside, probably opening the elevator door.

"Ah."

Slowly, he leaned against the wall and half-kneeled, holding his mobile phone and waiting for the elevator door to open. The signal in the elevator was really bad, and he could hardly hear whether Qiao Hexing was talking or not.

But 10 minutes later, the elevator door made a heavy noise, and someone opened it with a tool from the outside, and the light came in. Yu Ci squinted his eyes, and after adapting for a while, he saw Qiao Hexing's face in the light.

Qiao Hexing took off his suit jacket, only wearing a white shirt, and his unruly hair in the morning has been loosened.And Qiao Hexing opened his hand to him, and his hand was stretched out beside the elevator floor, waiting to hug Yu Ci down.

A trace of anxiety appeared on his calm face, and he stared at Yu Ci firmly.

Yu Ci slowly leaned over, tentatively holding Qiao Hexing's hand from the edge of the elevator.

This height is not too high, even if no one is following Yu Ci, he will not be able to fall.

But he jumped into Qiao Hexing's arms.

Qiao Hexing's strong arms wrapped around him, holding him so tightly that Yu Ci even felt his ears warm up, as if he had been kissed by Qiao Hexing.

Because of his inertia and subconsciousness, he held Qiao Hexing's neck tightly with his hands, and his face was leaning against Qiao Hexing's.

"I'm fine." Yu Ci said softly.

But Qiao Hexing put his arms around his back and didn't let go.

After a while, even Fang Ruqing got out of the elevator, and even brought out their bags, before Qiao Hexing let go of his hand, checking up and down to see if there was anything wrong with Yu Ci.

Seeing the scratch on Yu Ci's hand, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you injured? Is there any pain?"

"It's okay, I just bumped into it here, and everything else is fine." Yu Ci took a step back and realized that there were many other people present. Fang Ruqing looked at them from a distance of one meter away, and those staff also haven't left yet.

But Qiao Hexing didn't let go of his hand.

Qiao Hexing seemed to have just noticed Fang Ruqing, and looked at him unkindly.

Fang Ruqing didn't seem to notice, and came over and handed Yu Ci's bag to him.

Yu Ci hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Fang Ruqing shook his head, "Thank you for the bread just now."

When he was first trapped in the elevator, knowing that Fang Ruqing hadn't had dinner yet, Yu Ci gave him a piece of bread in his bag.

After Fang Ruqing finished speaking, he confirmed with the maintenance personnel that there was nothing wrong with him, and left.

He didn't seem to see Qiao Hexing from the beginning to the end, but he said goodbye to Yu Ci.

Yu Ciquiet glanced at Qiao Hexing, and found that Qiao Hexing's face was even darker.

Because it was too late, the maintenance staff only did a simple treatment and surrounded the elevator.

When they left, they saw that Qiao Hexing and Yu Ci were not going inside the school, but outside the school, and kindly reminded, "If there is a typhoon tonight, you should go home early."

Yu Ci obediently said he knew.

His face was a little red, because Qiao Hexing had never let go of his hand when he came out of the library.He remembered Fang Ruqing asking him again, "Are you two lovers?"

Yu Ci thought distractedly, as if they looked alike.

He originally planned to go back to Yu's house with Qiao Hexing.

However, as if to verify the typhoon tonight, as soon as he left the school, the wind suddenly blew, and raindrops kept falling from the sky.

Although it will not turn into a rainstorm, but judging by the speed, it probably won't take long.

The street outside was also deserted, and there was no car in sight.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Qiao Hexing wrapped his suit around Yu Ci casually, and then held Yu Ci in his arms so that he would not get caught in too much rain. He held his mobile phone in one hand and prepared to arrange for a car to come over.

Yu Ci's face was pressed against Qiao Hexing's chest, and the soft shirt fabric rubbed against his face, he could even hear Qiao Hexing's heartbeat.

He hesitated for a moment, and pulled Rajo Hexing's clothes, "Senior, I have an apartment in the nearby Lianxi Community, let's go there first and make ends meet."

The Lianxi community is just opposite the school, and it was where Yu Ci often lived before Qiao Hexing came to Yu's house.

They walk over now, and it only takes about 5 minutes.

"Okay." Qiao Hexing said.

He replied a text message calmly, "Don't let the car come over."
