Chapter 169 First and Second
The elevator was stuck between the 16th and 17th floors at this time, and it was motionless.
Qu Xiaoxiao complained, "What a broken elevator!"
"You make up less rumors next time, maybe this won't be the case."
Lin Yuan said as he gently pushed away Qu Xiaoxiao in front and walked to the elevator control panel.
Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and snorted: "Is what I said wrong? This broken elevator is obviously disrepair. What does it have to do with me?"
She thought to herself, "Smuggle my aunt and spread rumors, right?" When my aunt comes up with evidence, it will see how you can argue!" Let’s see how you still pretend to behave in front of these women! How can you show off your power in front of your aunt?
Lin Yuan pressed the emergency call button and informed the property about the situation in the elevator.
After the property management learned about it, they asked them to wait patiently for rescue, and then quickly contacted the maintenance workers to come and repair them.
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and shouted "It's so unlucky."
Guan Juer said weakly, "I bought some food just now, why don't we eat something?"
Lin Yuan and the other three girls had no intention of paying attention to snacks.
Only Qiu Yingying's eyes shone, "I think it's OK, I'm almost starving to death."
Guan Juer was a little confused: "Didn't you just finished your meal with Superintendent Bai? Why did you get hungry again after so long?"
Qiu Yingying tore open the snack packaging bag and said embarrassedly: "When I was eating, I was just watching Manager Bai, but I didn't eat anything. It's so good now. Eat something to keep my stomach."
Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tease, "People say that women in love have negative IQ, so it seems to be true."
Qiu Yingying retorted: "Then you have a positive IQ, what should you do now? Can you find a way to get us all out? Instead of worrying about half of it or not, it is better to save your worries and eat, drink and energy here."
Qu Xiaoxiao ignored it. Fan Shengmei said at this time, "You can save your worries and eat, drink and energy."
After all, they are all trapped in the elevator, so there is no need to waste their energy on meaningless disputes.
Fan Shengmei is considered the eldest sister in Room 2202, and Qiu Yingying listens to her and continues to eat snacks.
Guan Juer took out a box of yogurt and handed it to Andy, who shook his head gently.
"Thank you, I only drink water."
When Fan Shengmei heard what Andy said, she took out a bottle of mineral water from the bag and handed it over: "I bought water."
Andy smiled politely, then waved his hand to refuse.
Fan Shengmei handed it to Lin Yuan beside her.
Qu Xiaoxiao had a deep resentment towards Andy, and said sarcastically: "I don't like you."
Lin Yuan chuckled: "You want to appreciate it, but no one wants to give it to you."
Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that why did this bastard always target me?
I have suffered such a great loss since I was a child. If I can’t speak out today, I will write my word “Qu” in reverse!
Guan Juer quickly smoothed out the situation and said softly, "Xiaoqu, you can eat some too."
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her eyes rolled, and suddenly she had an idea in her heart, and she looked proud: "Thank you, I don't need it."
"Do you know? Among the several ways to die with the highest mortality rate, there is an elevator death..."
"Some time ago, there was another girl on Weibo. She didn't look at the elevator and was playing with her mobile phone. But the result was..."
"There are also happening around us, in the next community, and a group of people entered an elevator, but the elevator door 'bang' closed..."
Qiu Yingying described vividly, and the expression on her face changed with the story.
The other women were shocked by Qiu Yingying's narration.
Lin Yuan frowned and raised his voice and said, "Okay, Qiu Yingying, the stories you told are neither vivid nor interesting. Keep it quiet now and wait for rescue."
Guan Juer gently stroked his slender arm and said with lingering fear: "Yes, Yingying, it was fine just now, and my hair was standing up because you said."
Qiu Yingying seemed to have not noticed everyone's boredom, her eyes shining, and she said enthusiastically: "What's going on? I have another one that is even more terrifying. Do you know that? There is a foreign girl in a hotel. She entered the elevator, but the elevator door couldn't be closed, so the girl stretched her head out to look..."
Just then, the lights in the elevator began to flash without warning, and the light and darkness alternated, reflecting the increasingly nervous faces of everyone.
In this claustrophobic space, everyone was already a little bored, but Qiu Yingying was still telling horror stories, which undoubtedly deepened everyone's fear and anxiety.
Qu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but resentful and said loudly: "Qiu Yingying, are you getting water in your head? How can you scare yourself at this time? What if your crow's mouth works?"
"Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, it's impossible to work. Besides, I've already thought about it. If the elevator falls down, you all listen to me. As long as the elevator falls, we will all jump together!"
Qiu Yingying said, jumping heavily with confidence.
But just this jump, the originally flashing lights were completely gone with a "bang". Then, the elevator made a dull "crunch" sound and suddenly fell down about forty centimeters.
"Ah!" The woman's sharp and endless screams sounded in the elevator.
Qu Xiaoxiao was even more scared and her face turned pale as paper. She used her hands and feet together and hugged Lin Yuan next to her tightly.
Fan Shengmei was anxious and pressed the emergency call button, but this time there was no familiar response from the property.
Then she took out her phone to check, and the screen of the phone was also a sign of no signal.
Lin Yuan pushed Qu Xiaoxiao away and asked her to get off herself, his voice a little cold: "Qiu Yingying, do you want to kill all of us? You like to tell horror stories, right? I also have one more terrifying. One man and five women were trapped in the elevator and unfortunately died! Is it scary enough?"
The title of Qiu Yingying Pig Teammate is really not to be said. Even though Lin Yuan had expected it, he was still a little annoyed. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to slap her.
Qiu Yingying was frightened by Lin Yuan's roar and burst into tears. Her voice was filled with fear: "I don't want to die! The video on Weibo is exactly the same as this one, just..."
Lin Yuan shouted coldly: "Shut up!"
Qiu Yingying looked worried and said aggrievedly while sobbing: "I want to shut up, but I will be even more nervous when I shut up. I have to talk."
"Then you eat snacks and block your mouth."
Then, Lin Yuan gently pushed Qu Xiaoxiao's arm away again, but Qu Xiaoxiao was like a drowning person holding a life-saving straw, and still hugging his arm tightly
Those who are pampered and rich in daily life have never encountered such dangers.
It's so resentful, let it aside first.
Fan Shengmei shouted loudly to the outside of the elevator, "Is there anyone?"
But he received no response.
Andy stayed quietly in the corner. Suddenly, she quickly walked to the center control of the elevator and reached out to press the floor button. Lin Yuan was quick-witted and stepped forward, immediately reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping, "Don't press!"
Andy was startled by this sudden action, subconsciously retracted his hand and explained, "I want to hold down every staircase on the floor. In this way, even if the elevator falls rapidly, it may stop because of the restoration of braking."
Lin Yuan shook his head and explained patiently: "I understand what you mean, but doing so will not solve the fundamental problem. When the elevator is in a faulty state, pressing all floor buttons at will will cause the elevator control system to receive too many abnormal commands, resulting in confusion in the program and increasing risks in vain."
After hearing this, Andy was slightly stunned, with a trace of thought flashing in his eyes, and after all, he did not refute anything and agreed to Lin Yuan's statement.
As the only man present, Lin Yuan naturally became the backbone of everyone. He looked at the five women in front of him and said calmly:
"The elevator is short of oxygen, so we have been there for a long time, so try to keep quiet and wait patiently for rescue. Also, those who wear high heels take off their shoes, their heads and backs close to the wall of the compartment, and their legs bent slightly, so that even if the elevator really falls rapidly, it can minimize the damage to the human body."
After hearing this, everyone adjusted their postures as Lin Yuan said.
Qu Xiaoxiao chose the closest position to Lin Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Is this useful?"
If possible, she still wanted to hold Lin Yuan's arm, so she would not feel safe as she had just arrived.
Lin Yuan did not answer her question, but said lightly: "Everyone has only one life. When you realize this, you will welcome the second time."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
After two minutes, it seemed particularly long in the tense atmosphere of being trapped. Finally, a familiar shout came from outside: "Mr. Lin, are you here?"
"Here!" "Here!" "Here!"
Before Lin Yuan could speak, the other women couldn't wait to respond loudly.
"Don't be nervous, the workers are all going to get the motor and equipment. We have to manually turn the car and get it to a level with the floor, and you can come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator suddenly rose twenty centimeters without warning. Everyone staggered, and their bodies tilted as the car swayed.
"Don't be nervous, the workers are starting to work."
In a panic, several women subconsciously held hands and sought support and comfort from each other.
Lin Yuan was Qu Xiaoxiao and Guan Juer respectively, so he was naturally involved in this temporary "hand-in alliance".
Lin Yuan felt Guan Juer's slightly trembling palms, turned his head and chuckled at her, and then gently pinched her little hand with his hand, indicating that she should not be nervous.
After several times of rising, the workers finally lifted the elevator steadily to the seventeenth floor and rescued several people without any danger.
Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, and Fan Shengmei walked out of the elevator one after another.
Qu Xiaoxiao walked out of the elevator and looked at Andy who was still squatting on the ground. She still looked tense and her face was a little pale. Although she had some friction with Andy just now, she still asked with concern: "How is it, is it okay?"
Andy shook his head gently, but did not get up immediately.
Lin Yuan picked up the mineral water he had just placed on the ground and handed it to Andy, and his voice was gentle: "I haven't drunk it."
"Thank you."
Andy reached out to take it, her fingers trembled slightly, and she unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
Then she slowly stood up from the ground and walked out of the elevator with a slightly slow pace.
As the only male present, Lin Yuan was naturally the last one to come out.
He ignored Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao's accountability for the property, but followed Andy and headed to the stairs.
Andy was supporting the wall, walking step by step with difficulty, his legs trembling slightly, his steps were a little sluggish, and he obviously had not fully recovered from the shock just now.
Lin Yuan caught up from behind and stepped forward and gently supported her upper arm. Andy subconsciously wanted to push him away, but his whole body was weak and weak. This push was not only unsuccessful, but instead the center of gravity was unbalanced, and he rushed towards him uncontrollably. The two of them collided instantly and almost fell down the stairs together.
Lin Yuan reacted quickly, grabbed the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and hugged Andy's back with the other hand, relying on her powerful arm strength to make her press against him, which stabilized the shaking figures of the two people.
However, Lin Yuan did not take advantage of the danger. After stabilizing his body, he carefully placed Andy on the stairs, and took a step back and said, "If you are not used to my help, you can wait for them and let them help you."
Andy's face was pale, and there was no trace of blood at this time. She shook her head gently, with a stubborn tone as always: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Although he refused Lin Yuan's help, Andy knew in his heart that after the life and death test in the elevator just now, his acceptance of close contact with others seemed to have changed subtly.
When Lin Yuan approached just now, although her body subconsciously resisted, her inner resistance was not as strong as before.
Andy gently shook the mineral water bottle in his hand, then raised his head and took a sip, looked at Lin Yuan beside him, and said softly, "What you just said makes a lot of sense."
"Which sentence?"
"Everyone has only one life, and when you realize this, you will be the second time."
Andy said, his eyes softening, as if he was savoring the deep meaning behind this sentence.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said frankly: "I copied it online."
Andy was stunned at first, then couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, dispelling the tense atmosphere left in the corridor just now.
Not long after, a brisk sound of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, and the other four women walked towards each other.
The six people looked at each other and smiled, and the smiles that had survived the disaster appeared on their faces.
...
The six people climbed to the 22nd floor together, and Guan Juer handed the snacks on her hand to Qiu Yingying and said, "Sister Fan, Yingying, I'll go to Brother Lin's house to get something."
Qiu Yingying reached out to take the snacks: "Okay, go."
After the other four people disappeared into the corridor, Lin Yuan and Guan Juer walked to the 23rd floor together. Lin Yuan asked with a little curiosity and smile:
"What are you going to get?"
...
Five minutes later.
Qu Xiaoxiao has changed her clothes, wearing a black skirt and black polka dot stockings, which is very playful.
She knocked on the door of 2202.
"Have Xiaoguan not come back yet?"
Fan Shengmei leaned at the door and replied lazily, "No."
Qu Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, revealing a meaningful smile, and then said, "You said, will they be there... After all, they were so dangerous just now, do you have to release it?"
