After realizing that he actually had this expectation, Zige laughed to himself. It was too much to think about, not to mention that he was busy, and even if he wasn’t, the chances of him thinking about himself were slim, right?
I breathed out, but I couldn’t sigh out of a circle of hardship in my heart.
Getting up, she was about to pour herself a glass of water when, suddenly, the whole room went dark. She froze in place. She had expected an incoming call soon, but she just held her breath and waited in place for a few minutes, and nothing happened.
Outside the window, the wind was raging, like wave after wave of wild beasts invading. Alone in such an empty and dark house, Zi Ge couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. Touching the phone hanging on the wall, she subconsciously wanted to hang up a call to Lan Yu Feng, but the movement stopped.
He was still busy and she didn’t want to disturb him.
Putting down the microphone, he shrunk himself completely into the couch. The heat had stopped and the cold air came in, and it felt bone-chillingly cold in the darkness. Just then, the indoor phone rang at first.
Ziggy froze, got off the couch, and fumbled for it.
“Sleeping?” His voice, came from the earpiece. The original great uneasiness in Zige’s heart suddenly dissipated a lot in this instant. It was as if his voice had magic powers that could make her inexplicably brave.
“Not asleep yet.” In fact, she was waiting for him.
“Doing what?”
“Just squatting on the couch and gawking. But the power just went out in the house and it’s windy out, so maybe the cord broke somewhere.”
“Power outage? Why didn’t you call me?” Over there, Lan Yu Feng wrinkled his eyebrows.
Ziggy laughed a little, “Was about to call and you just happened to call in.”
“I’m not sure what I’m talking about, but I’m not sure what I’m talking about. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do it, but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it.”
She smiled a little deeper. Originally, she still felt cold, but, now, she felt warm.
“Do you hear me? Meng Zige, hang up the phone and immediately return to my room!” Seeing that she didn’t reply, he increased his tone a bit.
“Got it.” Zige hurriedly responded, “You go about your business, I’ll be right back to bed.”
“Uh, I’m hanging up!” Lan Yu Feng didn’t wait for Zi Ge to reply, and directly hung up the phone over there. Listening to the beeping busy sound over there, Zige hung up the phone with some disappointment.
He really does hang up when he says he will.
Sir, you’re leaving?” Yan Nan was surprised as he handed him the car keys.
“Uh-huh.” He was succinct.
“But the dinner has only just begun a short time ago. There hasn’t been time to get down to business.”
“I’ll leave this place to you.” Lan Yu Feng swept Yan Nan’s eyes, “I believe in your strength, if you can’t even take this case, you don’t need to follow me.”
Uh …
Once these words came out, how could Yan Nan say anything else? He hurriedly promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
Lan Yu Feng grabbed the car keys, gripped his cane, and exited the door of the dinner party. Compared to indoors, the temperature outside the door was downright bone-chilling, and he couldn’t help but tighten his brows as his footsteps quickened a bit.
I’m surprised. It’s so cold and the house is dark and unheated, can she stay alone?
There was never any sleep, and the whole house was dark and panic-inducing, except for the little light that burned in the fireplace. Zige hugged herself and leaned against the fire, remembering the old European candlesticks she had seen in the wine cellar that day, she got up and went stiffly to the cellar in search of candles by the bright light of her cell phone.
In the wine cellar, it was even colder. Borrowing the faint bright light from the cell phone, Zige groped her way forward. One step at a time was very careful, for fear of bumping into the elevated shelves where the wine was stored. It was hard to feel the candlestick, smoked one in his hand, and prepared to walk back.
Not far away, but a footstep came abruptly. The air was cold, and everything seemed a bit eerie and creepy. She was so scared that her hand shook, and her cell phone fell to the ground at first. The entire wine cellar, all of a sudden, fell into darkness.
Why would anyone be there at this hour? A burglar?
Zige only thought that Lan Yu Feng was still at the dinner party, so she didn’t even think it was him. In the darkness, all her senses became more and more sensitive, and she only felt that the footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, and she was so shocked that she didn’t know what to do. When she came back to her senses, without thinking, she turned around and ran backwards.
As if behind her was a flood of wild animals, she was terrified to go around a wine rack, cold sweat seeped out of her hands. After a pause, did not hear any more movement, would like to take a breath, but, the next instant only felt a tight waist, her whole person was held from behind.
“Ah,” she shrieked, immediately struggling.
Instead, the other man gave her a hard push and pinned her whole body down on the wine rack behind her.
“Don’t! You go away …” she was so scared that her voice trembled and her tone was tinged with sobs, “I don’t have anything, don’t you move me … Get away!”
“It’s me!” The tone, it was helpless.
“Get the hell away from me! If you don’t move away, I’m going to call the police!” She was still screaming, braking. Legs kicked about, and if he hadn’t been quick enough to dodge, the injured leg would have been shot.
“Meng Zige, it’s me!” Probing her hand, she clasped her small face, repeating calmly, “Calm down!”
Hearing his voice, Zi Ge froze and returned to her senses, her voice still trembling, “Lan Yu Feng … is that you?”
“Hmm. What are you running for?” He was helpless. He had a wound on his leg, and if he hadn’t been familiar with the furnishings of the place, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been able to catch her at all.
“It’s really you … “After confirming that it was her, the tightly tensed string at the bottom of Zi Ge’s heart instantly loosened. The huge panic in his heart until this moment finally dispersed. Almost without thinking, dependently opened his arms and hugged him tightly.
face, buried deep between his neck. Tears seeped out and landed on his skin.
The cool wetness twisted his heart. The woman in his arms was as fragile as a frightened kitten. She murmured aggressively, “Lan Yu Feng, I want to go back … Tomorrow I’ll go back alone …”
Being alone in the house, that inexplicable longing gnawed at her.
If she went back, at least there was a child around to distract her.
“No!” He frowned, his long fingers curling the ends of her hair, pulling her small face slightly away from his arms. In the darkness, only her tear-washed eyes were unusually bright, and he gazed with sunken eyes as he spoke again, “Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere!”
“You are overbearing … Your leg injury doesn’t need me at all …” Although the words are so said, however, being retained by him, the heart is still uncontrollably floating down. The slender arms are still wrapped around him tightly.
“But there is a place where you are needed.” He spoke again, his tone changing slightly. A little confused, Ziggy cocked her head and asked, “What?”
Lan Yu Feng didn’t answer her, only the arm around him suddenly tightened, pressing her entire body into his arms.
====
All night long …
The fact that the caller hadn’t called had long since become irrelevant. Of course, they weren’t even caring about that either.
Lan Yu Feng wanted her again and again, strong and brave.
“Why did you … come back so suddenly?” After resting, Ziggy asked him as she lay on a blanket by the fireplace, wrapped in the covers and panting.
How could she not have expected to be … so aroused … with him tonight?
Although she was a bit out of control, although she was sore from his mess, she knew very well that she was not a bit reluctant.
“Need a reason?” Lan Yu Feng kissed again, satisfied to feel her light trembling, he spoke slightly hoarsely, “The banquet is not that important …”
“Well …” she breathed heavily, hugging his neck, her voice soft as if she was going to melt, “I’m still staying here alone tomorrow?”
“No?”
“Sure. …”
“I have a meeting tomorrow, end it early.” He wasn’t sure why he wanted to end that important meeting early for her, just like today at the party, and he couldn’t figure out why he was back here with one phone call.
“Unsurprisingly, it’ll keep you company for lunch.”
Zige couldn’t help the smile that rippled across her face, opening her lips and meeting his kiss.
A night of lingering.
Lan Yu Feng’s wildness was somewhat unimaginable to Zi Ge. She even wondered where this man got such good stamina, actually wanting her over and over again, if not for the fact that she couldn’t stand it in the end and begged for mercy, I’m afraid he still wouldn’t stop.
Finally …
Ziggy fell asleep in a daze like that.
As far as he could remember, Lan Yu Feng was still holding her tightly without letting go.
