The lift rooms in Bishop’s Park are the old fashioned kind of individual lift rooms.
There are no residents around the lift room.
When Wu Jun and Hou Ting were trapped inside, the lift would only show a fault and be out of service, and would not attract much attention from other residents.
The torches of the two mobile phones illuminated the dark and closed lift.
Previously, Wu Jun always thought that the torch function on the mobile phone was redundant, and finally came in handy today.
After the initial panic and uneasiness, both of them were much more stable at this moment.
When Wu Jun saw Hou Ting also learnt from him to turn on the torch on his mobile phone, he couldn’t help but feel a little amused.
In such a small space, there didn’t seem to be much difference between the light brought by one torch and two torches ……
“Sister Ting, are you that afraid of the dark?”Wu Jun asked without words, also wanting to ease Hou Ting’s inner tension through chatting.
Hou Ting’s back was leaning against a corner of the lift, after leaving Wu Jun’s embrace, it seemed like only the corner could bring her a hint of security.
Hou Ting raised her eyes to Wu Jun and met his gaze.
After seeing Wu Jun’s clear and sincere gaze, Hou Ting’s heart seemed to be nourished by a warm hot spring, and suddenly she was eager to pour out her heart with him and talk to him.
With a smile on her lips, Hou Ting said in a soft tone, “Yes, I’ve been afraid of the dark since I was a child, especially afraid of the dark, and I even turn on the light when I sleep.”
“When I used to go to college, I would secretly put a torch under the quilt, and sleep at night under the quilt, accompanied by the light of the torch in order to fall asleep.”
“Erm ……,” Wu Jun looked at Hou Ting with a surprised face.
It was the first time he had heard of someone sleeping with a torch under the quilt ……
How afraid of the dark is this!
“My parents have never had a good relationship, and in my childhood memories, almost every day was accompanied by quarrels and even big fights and fist fights.”Hou Ting hugged her shoulders as she said this, not knowing if it was because of fear or because of the cold, or if it was because she had remembered an unpleasant past.
“Every time the two of them quarrelled, they would lock me up in a storage room in the house where the spotlight was broken, accompanied by the sound of their beating and cursing, and the sound of dropping things, I cried my eyes out inside the darkened storage room.”
“They only cared about using violence, venting their respective anger, completely disregarding my feelings, unable to feel the fear inside me, unable to feel my despair ……”
“Perhaps the roots of the disease fell from that time, from childhood to adulthood, I had to carry something that could be illuminated with me, from primary school to university, I used up dozens of torches.”
“No wonder Sister Ting is so afraid of the dark, it is the psychological shadow left in childhood ah ……” After listening to Hou Ting’s tragic childhood experience, Wu Jun understood why she was so afraid of the dark.
Previously, Wu Jun also heard Ma Siyu said that Hou Ting’s relationship with her parents is very general.
Hou Ting’s hometown is next door to Xishan Province, less than two hours’ drive, but she doesn’t necessarily go back home all year round.
Even on New Year’s Day, this kind of big reunion holiday are rarely home.
Last year when the Spring Festival, Hou Ting took advantage of the annual leave to travel to the South China Sea.
Previously, Wu Jun was still a bit confused as to why the family was so raw, but today the case was finally solved.
—-
Although Wu Jun felt that the relationship between Hou Ting and her parents is not normal, there is no unravelling knot between children and parents.
But he also has no way to persuade, do not know the suffering of others, do not advise people to be generous.
He had not felt the shadow of Hou Ting’s childhood and did not know how much trauma it would bring to her psyche.
“Doesn’t it feel ridiculous? Being such an adult and still being so afraid of the dark, I’ve tried to overcome it and even went to a psychiatrist, but nothing worked.”Hou Ting shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly.
“Everyone has their own weaknesses don’t they? Nothing to laugh about.”Wu Jun said in a gentle tone, “Looking at this matter from a different perspective, Sister Ting is a girl who grew up with light, no wonder you are so kind and pure.”
Hou Ting was stunned for a moment when she heard Wu Jun’s comment on her, looking at him with a glowing gaze, there were tears flashing, feeling like she had found her soulmate.
Growing up with light, purity, kindness ……
It was the first time that Hou Ting had heard such an evaluation of herself from another person.
A thousand words converged into one sentence, Hou Ting said in a gentle tone, “Thank you Wu Jun.”
“Thank you for giving me a birthday tonight, thank you for sending me back tonight, thank you for lending me your arms and shoulders in the darkness, thank you for being willing to listen to what I have to say.”
Hou Ting came down with a series of ‘thank you’s’, and Wu Jun was a bit at a loss as to how to reply to her.
He opened his mouth several times, but failed to interject.
In this situation, would it be too perfunctory to say “You’re welcome”?
“Thank you for appearing in my life.”After Hou Ting finished her last thank you, as if she had used up all her courage, she slightly turned her head away, not daring to meet Wu Jun’s eyes again.
“Err…… “Wu Jun also froze after hearing this last sentence of hers.
If the previous thanks were all normal, this last sentence was a bit ambiguous.
Is this something that can be casually said between normal friends?
Wu Jun was not a steel straight man, he naturally understood this last sentence.
This kind of being confessed by a woman on her own initiative, or a girl whose body, temperament, face value, and even her voice are all excellent, a man would be bursting with accomplishment.
This kind of psychological pleasure, those who have experienced it can know, and can only mean can not be transmitted, not for outsiders.
It is really difficult to describe in words which kind of psychological pleasure at this moment.
As the saying goes, a man chasing a woman is separated by a mountain, and a woman chasing a man is separated by a layer of paper.
This phenomenon is the specific manifestation of the man’s psychological sense of achievement.
However, one thought of the pile of affair debt that he now owes.
Wu Jun immediately calmed down.
Being a man can’t be unsatisfied, and no one can take all the beautiful things in the world for themselves.
Furthermore, Hou Ting was Ma Si Yu’s best friend and best friend.
Ma Siyu also knows that she is dating Xu Fei and Jiang Yi at the same time.
If you add another Hou Ting, three blooms ……
Of course, this was still under the premise that Ma Siyu didn’t know about Li Tong and Chen Lin.
If he got involved with Hou Ting again now, Wu Jun felt that he was simply going crazy.
The first time Ma Siyu heard about it, she would definitely come back from Hengdian with a two metre machete and chop herself up.
With Wu Jun’s understanding of Ma Si Yu, this is something she can really do.
After thinking about these, Wu Jun’s heart is much lighter.
In fact, it’s good to have more beautiful women as good friends.
It is not necessary to develop all the beauties into his girlfriend ah ……
Hou Ting was in a nervous mood at the moment, and that unprecedented heartbeat frequency reappeared.
She was waiting for Wu Jun’s response to her with a lot of apprehension.
She had already made her words so obvious, he should know what she meant, right?
However, waiting and waiting, she did not get a single response for a long time.
When Hou Ting gathered her courage to look at Wu Jun again, she found that his expression was still as calm as usual, as if he did not have the slightest mental fluctuation.
Come to think of it, a man as outstanding as him must be surrounded by many, many girls who are even more beautiful than himself, with a better body than himself, and better than himself, right?
“Ahem…… rescue’s should be arriving soon, right?”Wu Jun raised his hand and glanced at the watch he was wearing on his wrist, somewhat stiffly changing the topic.
Hou Ting glanced at the time displayed on her mobile phone and smiled with a bitter face, “It should be almost here, it’s been almost ten minutes since I called.”
Hou Ting was extremely sensitive when it came to emotional issues, Wu Jun’s answer had already shown his heart, she got it and at the same time chose not to dwell on it anymore.
Hou Ting had just finished her sentence when a sound of footsteps sounded outside the lift.
Immediately after, the door outside the lift was knocked.
Boom boom boom!
From the position above the lift, a male voice asked, ”Are the people inside alright? We’ll find a way to get you guys out right now.”
Wu Jun tilted his head slightly and replied, “It’s okay, hurry up and act.”
Hou Ting looked at Wu Jun with a lingering look, she rather didn’t want to be rescued out so soon at this moment.
Wu Jun’s heart complained a little about the rescuers coming late, but she thought that it would be good if they came even later.
“You first stay quietly, there will not be any danger, we first go to the top floor lift shaft to check the specific cause of the failure before we can start the rescue, there is a problem at any time to communicate by phone, just now you call the two phone can be.”
Wu Jun does not understand the rescue steps of the lift failure, the other side said so, he can only wait patiently.
Rescue personnel put down a sentence, first up to the upper floor to open the lift outside a layer of outer door to check the situation, and then take the side of a normal operation of the lift up the stairs.
After about ten minutes, Wu Jun’s mobile phone received an unfamiliar phone call.
This phone call he still has the impression, it is almost half an hour before he dialled that did not connect the rescue phone.
Wu Jun was told by the other party that the lift was going to fall about two metres further, so that he and Hou Ting should not be nervous.
Lift car is now located in the middle of the 6th floor and the 5th floor, the door is in a locked state can not be opened, to level to and floor level position to pry open.
This fall, Wu Jun and Hou Ting have psychological and physical preparation, and know that there will not be any danger, so not as before so panic.
When the lift car descended to the 5th floor position, after about three minutes, the footsteps of the rescuers sounded outside again.
“Sister Ting, we’ll be able to get out soon.”More than half an hour had passed since they were trapped, and with the dawn of victory just around the corner, Wu Jun spoke with a hint of joy amongst his tone.
“Yeah ……,” Hou Ting barely smiled, unable to see a hint of joy.
“Sir Miss, hold on for one more minute, you’ll be out in no time.”
The sound of rescuers speaking resounded outside once again.
Immediately after, the sound of clanging and rummaging for tools rang out from outside the lift car.
Metal tools and the floor touched, making a big commotion.
“Keiko, where’s my crowbar, right? I remember putting it in your tool pocket after I used it yesterday.”
“Right, right, I forgot about it, Fung give it to you.”
“Don’t freeze, hurry up and do it!”
After Wu Jun heard that younger voice, his heart was upset for a while.
He heard out that this young man was the one who had answered his phone call earlier and was spitting out fenfang.
Wu Jun’s impression of this one was poor to the extreme.
After the two rescuers talked for a few sentences, the sound of crunching and being pried by a crowbar rang out at the lift car.
Soon, the lift box door was pried open by two thumb-thin steel crowbars to create a small gap.
A beam of light shone from the outside lift compartment to the inside of the lift.
Wu Jun switched off the torch on his mobile phone and pocketed it.
The gap in the lift box door grew wider and wider, and the inside of the lift became brighter and brighter.
When the lift compartment door pry open a person wide gap, the two rescuers use their hands to hold one side of the compartment door, and then force to both sides of the door.
With a clang, the lift compartment door popped open completely to both sides.
“It’s ready you two, come out.”
After successfully getting the lift compartment door open, He Qingfeng and He Qiang appeared at the lift door and greeted Wu Jun and Hou Ting inside to come out.
After Wu Jun stood inside and looked at the two men’s appearance, he felt somewhat familiar, like he had seen them somewhere, but couldn’t remember how, so he didn’t think about it.
He Qingfeng and He Qiang are both popular faces, the kind that can’t be found immediately when thrown into a pile of people, the chances of being recognised wrongly are too high.
Wu Jun nodded his head towards the middle-aged man and thanked him, “Thank you.”
This thank you from him was only to the middle-aged man, his displeasure towards the younger one was always still there.
“Sister Ting, you can go out now.”
“Mm, good.”
After thanking him, Wu Jun and Hou Ting stepped out of the lift car one after the other.
The moment Hou Ting stepped out of the lift car, He Qiang, who flashed to the side to make way, his eyes went straight.
Hou Ting’s height of one metre seventy-five was even taller than him.
She had the body of a world-class supermodel, and a quiet and elegant temperament.
Without a filter or beauty face, it was the first time He Qiang had seen such a beautiful woman in real life.
He Qingfeng was already over forty and had reached the age of power.
The first time he saw Hou Ting, although he felt awestruck, his behaviour was much more calm compared to He Qiang.
However, when he got a good look at Wu Jun, who had followed Hou Ting out of the lift car, a huge wave rippled within him!
So much so that he thought he had blurred his eyes and recognised someone.
How is it him, the brat surnamed Wu!
No, no, no, he would never be mistaken!
Even if Wu turned into ashes, he would still be able to recognise him!
He had gone from being a glamorous multi-millionaire to a bankrupt pauper labourer.
Everything about himself was destroyed by the hand of this kid surnamed Wu!
The moment He Qingfeng saw Wu Jun, it was really a case of enemies seeing each other.
The smouldering rage emerged from his two eyes, and the thumb-thick steel crowbar he was carrying in his hand was almost clenched into a thin wire!
He Qiang, as if sensing He Qingfeng’s anger, followed his gaze and saw Wu Jun, who came out after Hou Ting.
Why is the surname Wu here!
After He Qiang saw Wu Jun, he instantly understood why He Qingfeng’s anger was felt.
The two of them this more than a year, in prison, how much suffering, how much crime, how much soap to pick up ……
The past is unbearable!
The crowbar in He Qiang s hand was also clenched by him.
The impression of the victor on the loser is never as deep as the impression of the loser on the victor.
Unlike He Qingfeng and He Qiang’s deep impression on Wu Jun, Wu Jun had almost no impression on the two anymore.
On his road to success, the two were not considered stumbling blocks.
Even, not even a small stone could be counted.
