His heart softened.
The next second he released his hand, the whole office suddenly went dark.
Nuonuo was taken aback. The lights were all turned off. She was a little confused, "Is there a power outage?"
Qiu Li said, "Are you scared? I will call to ask what happened."
Then Nuonuo heard the voice of the assistant on the phone crying, "Sorry CEO, something went wrong on the 45th floor. The entire building's electricity is cut off. The office building circuit may take several hours to repair. "
Nuonuo, "..." Was she so unlucky?
Qiu Li's tone was heavy, "How do you do things? You all would be expelled tomorrow."
The assistant hung up the phone and turned, "Let's go home!"
Everyone cheered on the first floor.
"Great, no need to work overtime!"
"What just happened, the CEO took the initiative to turn the powers off!"
"Hahaha, he said that this year's year-end bonus is doubled. Everyone go back and sleep to celebrate the holiday!"
The finance and accounting department was the most excited.
They were even happier than the times when self-study in school was called off because of power cuts.
On the eighty-eighth floor, Nuonuo burst into tears and couldn't see her fingers.
It was terrible black.
Qiu Li asked her, "Are you afraid of darkness?"
Nuonuo shook her head. He couldn't see her, so she could only say, "Not afraid."
Qiu Li smiled.
"Come with me"
When Nuonuo hesitated, he said, "I will take you to see the night lights of skyscrapers under your feet."
Nuonuo's hands were wrapped in his, and Qiu Li took her to the window.
It was windy, and Qiu Li was afraid that she would be cold if they went close.
When Nuonuo looked down, her eyes were lit by the shattered lights.
That thrilling beauty overshadowed the fear of heights.
The lights of countless skyscrapers were colorful.
She was alone in the dark, and the cold weather had become soft and beautiful that night.
She realized for the first time that this was a beautiful world.
It wasn't just dark clouds all over the sky.
Qiu Li was watching her, her eyes seemed to be dotted with tiny stars, and he smiled.
"Nuonuo, the power is off and the elevator can't be used. Now we can only take the stairs down the 88th floor, which is too dangerous."
Nuonuo was also stunned.
She kind of wanted to cry, how did it go dark like this?
Qiu Li suggested, "Why don't you sleep in my lounge for a while till someone fixes the electricity."
Nuonuo said, "Shall we go down?"
Qiu Li laughed inwardly. She really hated him and was afraid of him. So afraid that she didn't want to be alone with him. Even if she was daring, she was on the 88th floor.
He said, "Okay."
However, when he took her to the stairs, Nuonuo looked at the dark.
Not to mention a human, even a ghost wouldn't go down.
Qiu Li said, "Shall I hold you down?"
"No, wait."
This was too dangerous.
In the end, Qiu Li took her back to the lounge.
The lounge had sofas and beds.
Qiu Li said, "You go to bed to sleep, there are quilts. Don't freeze, I will guard you, and I won't touch you. Don't be afraid."
Nuonuo dared not sleep while sitting.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting, it was less than ten o'clock when she came. She could still hear the man's slightly heavy breathing in the night, but later she fell asleep. The day was spent in the class, she sat for hours. She didn't get enough sleep and leaned on the head of bed.
Qiu Li lowered his eyes and smiled.
He gently hugged her to the bed aso she could sleep more comfortably.
He had patience. He immediately went to bed and gently embraced her into his arms.
Her little head rested on his chest.
Qiu Li feared that she wouldn't breathe well and took her mask off.
The coldness on the 88th floor and the thin quilt made the sleeping person unable to resist the heat source.
He bowed his head and kissed her.
He chuckled, "Merry Christmas, Nuonuo."
