This was the first time, Jing Chi's reaction when she saw her was to avoid her rather than to meet her.

Ning Suyi turned her head and looked at the walls in the elevator, which could be seen as the light-catching people. She reflected her extremely dull face, and she couldn't help feeling a little discomfort and a slight doubt in her heart.

The second time was the next morning. Ning Suyi went out half an hour later than usual. The elevator stopped after the first floor. The door opened. The person outside was Jing Chi.

His face was haggard, and his already cold and white skin added a little pale to the thin morning light, and it seemed that his cleansing was too much.

Ning Suyi smiled and was about to say hello to him, Jing Chi turned around in a panic, turned his back to her and said in a muffled voice: "I forgot to bring out the trash, you go first."

Leave Ning Suyi a thin and sad back.

The elevator door was closed, Ning Suyi's smile was frozen on her face, she was the only one in the elevator, and the feeling of being trapped in the barren mountain without any trace swept across her body again.

This time, she not only felt confused, but also felt empty and silent.

Thinking about the only cold war that she and Jing Chi were together, she was definitely not like this now. At that time, he always deliberately passed by her side, insisting on making noises to attract her attention. She couldn't help but talk to him on his own initiative. He also pretended to be indifferent, but his eyes were staring at her, intending to show that he needed to coax him before he was willing to bow his head.

It was strange, Ning Suyi suspected that he was hiding from him.

But what is the reason?

She didn't even want to hide from him and never interact with each other again. Why did he act weirder? Ning Suyiwei really couldn't figure it out, but he felt that everything that happened over the past few days was full of two words - absurdity.

Ning Suyi got into the car and bit her lower lip and thought carefully. She didn't have the brainpower to think clearly, so she took the initiative to send WeChat to ask Jing Chi herself.

Ning Suyi: "Have I offended you recently?"

The brat replied to the news as quickly as ever, with only one word: "No."

Ning Suyi: "Forget it last night, why did you hide from me this morning?"

The upper left corner of the phone shows "The other party is typing". After waiting for a long time, the other party's response is no longer visible. Ning Suyi stared at the screen and saw the same prompt flashing several times, and there was no text on the chat interface.

It was almost time for the company to react when the phone had the right to be - a prompt sound was sounded, reminding her that the other party gave a reply.

Jing Chi: "I didn't hide from you. I didn't tell you at that time. I forgot to bring up the trash. Don't think too much, how could I hide from you?"

A passage that is neither long nor short, Ning Suyi chews it repeatedly between his lips and teeth, and the tone between the lines no longer has that kind of intimacy. It is a stiff explanation no matter how you pronounce it.

Perhaps it's not even an explanation, it's more like perfunctory.

Ning Suyi had no choice but to give up and not ask questions again.

Jing Chi saw that she no longer sent messages, and his heart fell to the bottom of the valley. He realized what "there is nothing bad" means, hoping that she will come and go, but also afraid that she will follow the truth.

Jing Chi suddenly felt a little pitiful, and he obviously didn't feel that way before.

He put his cell phone into his pants pocket and went out again. There was nothing in his hand that he forgot to mention. The air he had carried was almost the same.

Since Jing Chi moved into Zhongding Community, he has never been late to work, but no one in the company dares to be dissatisfied with him if he is the one who pays the money.

When he drove to the company, the best morning of the day passed early.

Fu Mingchuan learned that he was coming, and was the first to rush into his office. He was very unrecognizable. He sat on his desk with one leg on the ground and joked: "You are becoming less and less concerned recently. In the past few years, you can be called a model worker. In the past few months, you have been a idle playboy. You can't keep going like this, Mr. Xiaojing..."

Before he could say more words, Jing Chi interrupted him impatiently: "The merger case I mentioned at a meeting the day before yesterday is going to go on a business trip to the capital, right? I'll go."

Fu Mingchuan turned off the fire and did not make any noise for a long time.

He leaned forward, his palm covering Jing Chi's forehead, trying to find out if he had a fever, but Jing Chi waved his hand away and said disgustedly: "Are you disgusting?"

Fu Mingchuan was incredible: "I didn't have a fever, why did I suddenly think of it?"

Jing Chi took out the cigarette box and lighter from the drawer, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, took a few puffs, clamped it between his fingers, and watched it burn quietly, a piece of ash accumulated.

After a long silence, his voice felt a distant and ethereal feeling: "So much nonsense, why don't you go?"

"Don't, you've agreed just now, you'll go." Fu Mingchuan got off his desk, his tiger's mouth stuck in his jaw, and carefully pondered Jing Chi's expression, "Are you... broken up?"

Jing Chi did not answer, turned the chair toward the blinds, took a deep breath of cigarette. As he swallowed, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the smoke passed through his lungs and then slowly spit it out.

Fu Mingchuan felt like a mirror in his heart, and he smiled softly: "Look at what I said, you haven't even been in love, where did you get a broken heart? Is it related to your sister again? She is in love? Or has she quarreled with you? If you want me to tell me, you should..."

"You can't say a few words?" Jing Chi turned back to his chair, reached out to grab the ashtray, and slowly crushed it until there was no trace of Mars.

Fu Mingchuan was innocent: "Don't I care about you? I agreed in advance that the merger case was prepared for more than half a year in the early stage, and you have been spending almost two months outside."

"I really think I'm a hand-off manager, don't know what's going on?" Jing Chi lifted his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

"Just think it through."

Seeing that he couldn't say anything from him, Fu Mingchuan restrained his thoughts on inquiries and asked Wei Siyuan to send information to Jing Chi about the details of the merger case.

After saying this for a whole morning, Fu Mingchuan said the words unknowingly, and raised his wrist to look at his watch: "It's lunch time, let's go, call Lao Xiao and Lao He, let's go out for a meal."

Jing Chi got up and took his cell phone, moved his head for a step, frowned, held his hand on the edge of the table, and covered his heart with his other hand.

Fu Mingchuan drank half a cup of pure water to moisten his throat. He turned his head to see that his expression was not right. He hurriedly put down the water cup and walked up to ask, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, my heart suddenly felt uncomfortable." Jing Chi grabbed the shirt on his chest with his fingers and rubbed it hard, as if the heart attack just now was an illusion.

"Don't scare me, my heart can't bear the fright."

Fu Mingchuan swallowed his saliva, remembering that he went to Jing Chi's house to be a guest when he was in college. The old lady was muttering at the dinner table that Jing Chi was not in good health when she was a child and was soaked in medicine jars all year round. His minor illnesses and pains made his family frightened. The old lady asked them to take more responsibility.

Jing Chi looks like this, so it’s not because of the recurrence of hidden diseases.

Fu Mingchuan was guessing in his mind, but saw Jing Chi take out his cell phone to call someone. The sound of "beeping" came from the receiver, but it never connected.

Jing Chi frowned, looking anxious.

Fu Mingchuan was in a daze and stroked the back of his head with his palm, considering whether to call the first aid number: "What's the matter? Are you in trouble?"

Jing Chi walked out while making a phone call, and his pace got faster and faster. Fu Mingchuan chased after him for a few steps but failed to catch up, watching him disappear in the elevator.

Ning Suyi was also busy all morning and didn't take a break for a moment. Looking at the schedule, there was nothing important in the afternoon, so she explained to Liang Sui in advance that she didn't have to order food at noon. She wanted to go to the restaurant to have some hot pot and let Liang Sui be with her.

Since the cooling down, she has been greedy for a long time. However, Ye Fanshuang has no time. Zou Qianen, who has always been idle, recently didn't know what happened. She just threw herself into the male colleague with a elm-headed head in her company and couldn't take time to spend time with her.

As for Jing Chi, with their relationship, they were the best meal, but they have been having a lot of awkwardness recently.

It would be a bit desolate to eat hot pot alone, so Ning Suyi had to settle for the second best and called Shangliangsui.

After all, they have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. I thought Liang Sui would not be too comfortable at the dining table, not to mention that she was taciturn.

Ning Suyi often feels that she is like a high-intensity robot, and it is hard to imagine her chatting about some entertainment gossip and family matters while eating.

Liang Sui held a stack of documents she had signed in the morning in her arms and said respectfully: "Wait a moment, I'll send the documents first."

Ning Suyi waved her hand and asked her to do her business first. She sat on the chair to make up her makeup. She only scribble carefully, and the rest remained as light as she was when she went out.

After waiting for a long time, Liang Sui came back. She brought her bag and sent Liang Sui a WeChat message, telling her to go downstairs to wait for her first, and ask her to go downstairs after handling the matter.

After entering the elevator, Ning Suyi turned around and pressed the number "1" and the closing key. The elevator door was closed. Ning Suyi leaned against the wall with her back, looked at her phone, and suddenly realized that the elevator was not moving.

She looked up at the blue display above, the numbers still stayed on the top layer, and the thread was not moving.

Ning Suyi frowned, took a few steps forward, and tried to press the door opening button, but there was no reaction at all. He pressed the other numeric keys, and there was no movement in the entire closed elevator.

She began to feel chest tightness and irritability. She took a deep breath to calm down and pressed the alarm button.

It's lunch time now, and Ning Suyi is not sure if there are any left-behind employees in the duty room, so she can only try her luck, because she found that her mobile phone signal was so weak that she was almost gone, so she probably couldn't call the phone.

A few minutes passed, as long as a day and a night.

Fortunately, there was a light in the elevator, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago. Even if she comforted herself like this, she could not resist the exponential panic in her heart. If she stayed there for a long time, she might not have collapsed and died of suffocation due to hypoxia.

Ning Suyi had never studied the structure of the button panel inside the elevator before. Now she had to force herself to observe calmly and found that there was a "intercom button". After pressing it, she tentatively called: "Is anyone?"

She heard a sizzling sound of electric current coming from inside.

"Is there anyone?" Ning Suyi's breathing gradually became rapid and she shouted in vain.

With a "bang", for some reason, the light on the top of the head went out.

A huge fear came from all directions, wrapping around her whole body. Without the cover of the sky, Ning Suyi felt the air in her chest being squeezed and thinner. She took her back to that rainy night of power outage. She was trapped in the wet and dark bathroom, collapsed on the ground, calling for help without a chance.

Ning Suyi's body could not hold on, so she slid down the elevator wall, and her exhalation gradually became louder. Before she closed her eyes and completely lost consciousness, what flashed through her mind was Jing Chi's worried and frightened face.

She thought, she might not have such good luck this time.
