She didn't notice the air-conditioning in the elevator just now. She only felt that it was getting colder in the corner. She curled up into a ball unconsciously, but she still couldn't resist the cold.
Gu Xingze sat beside her. Seeing her dispirited expression, her breathing a little rapid, and her palm-sized face burning red, his heart ached.
Unwilling to give up, he pressed the emergency bell again, but there was no more sound. He pressed it continuously, and the battery had long since run out.
He kicked the door, and it made a loud bang.
It wasn't that he didn't shout.
However, he knew that the elevator was now parked in the basement. If no one passed by, no one would notice, and no one would hear his cries for help on the first floor.
Calling for help with all his might was futile.
In fact, a few people had parked their cars in the basement and went upstairs. However, they saw that the elevator seemed to have malfunctioned and couldn't operate, so they went to another elevator.
In this world, most people were indifferent. They were in a hurry and didn't care about themselves.
After all, in most cases, most people wouldn't be willing to worry about things that had nothing to do with them.
Therefore, no one reported to the front desk that the elevator was malfunctioning.
Some people thought that the elevator was being repaired, so they didn't ask about it at all.
Time ticked by.
Gu Xingze picked up Yun Shishi's phone and glanced at it. It was already three in the morning. The phone had been playing music, and the battery was about to run out.
He turned off the music to ensure that the phone's battery was maintained.
This desperate situation could be considered as keeping a glimmer of hope for them. If there was a miracle and there was suddenly a signal, they could use the phone to call for help.
Yun Shishi covered herself with the blanket and shivered.
Gu Xingze gently placed his hand on her forehead. Her forehead was frighteningly hot.
His heart became a little anxious.
Staying in such a confined and narrow space for a long time already made her feel a little suffocated. If she fell asleep with a fever, it would be easy for her to have breathing difficulties. If the high fever didn't subside, it was even possible for her to suffocate.
Therefore, he said gently, "Shishi, don't fall asleep, okay? Wake up. "
Yun Shishi's voice was muffled. It was hoarse and weak. "My head hurts. It's so cold …"
Gu Xingze's brows furrowed slightly. Instinctively, he wanted to reach out and pull her into his embrace. However, just as he reached out his hand, he lowered his head to look at her slightly furrowed brows. Suddenly, he froze in mid-air and didn't move for a long time.
He looked at her trembling shoulders and struggled in his heart for a long time. In the end, he placed his hand on her shoulder and slowly pulled her into his embrace.
Yun Shishi was startled for a moment. Suddenly, she felt a strong heartbeat in her ears. It was scorching hot. Thump — thump — thump — thump — thump — every sound was filled with great power.
He gathered the blanket around her and wrapped it tighter around her.
"Don't fall asleep. Someone will come to save us soon."
Gu Xingze comforted her gently. Sensing that the body of the person in his arms had stiffened, he immediately explained, "I was just … afraid that you would be cold."
"Thank you," Yun Shishi said softly. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, almost inaudible.
"Let's practice our lines."
Gu Xingze suddenly said.
He was really afraid that she would fall asleep and have an uncontrollable fever.
In fact, he didn't know when the rescue team would arrive with the efficiency of this hotel.
However, at this moment, he could only comfort her like this.
