The person from the property management said that emergency repairmen had already arrived and it was expected to be repaired within an hour, before Ji Nuan hung up the phone.
Since it could be repaired within an hour, Ji Nuan originally planned to wait until it was repaired before going upstairs.
But it was already eleven o'clock at night, there was no one around, and her phone only had less than 10% battery left, which was not enough to last for an hour.
The floor she lives on is on the fifteenth floor. It's not impossible to climb the stairs, but it will probably be so tiring that her calves will tremble.
After standing there and weighing the pros and cons for a while, Ji Nuan turned on the phone's built-in receiver, and with the light and the last few percent of electricity, he went directly into the elevator's escalator passage.
Fortunately, she was not wearing high heels today. When she climbed up to the eighth floor, she stood there and gasped for a while. However, she must not stop and rest when climbing stairs with such high frequency. Stopping for a while would only make it even harder to climb up. She leaned on the handrail and panted for a long time before lifting up her heavy steps and continuing to walk upward.
When he reached the thirteenth floor, Ji Nuan felt that his chest was about to explode, and he felt that he might die if he climbed two more floors.
Gritting my teeth, I finally reached the fifteenth floor. I was so tired that my calves were shaking. I was so weak that I staggered to the door of my apartment in the dark.
The little battery on her phone had been exhausted long after she passed the tenth floor due to the power consumption of her phone. She walked up to the next few floors in the dark.
There was no power now, and the fingerprint lock and room card were useless. She put her mobile phone in her bag, and then rummaged around in the bag for a long time before she found the door key from the mezzanine in the bag that was not often turned over. After taking out the key Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly felt like he smelled a faint smell of smoke.
Her hand holding the key paused. In the darkness, she instinctively looked towards the side of the escalator. She only saw a red spark burning brightly on someone's fingertips. It was actually someone who was there in the middle of the night. Smoking here.
It was too dark here and I couldn't see anything clearly. I could only vaguely see a tall man in London. I saw the man walking towards her direction step by step at the escalator between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors. Come down.
Ji Nuan subconsciously squeezed the key. She couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness, but she had heard of some robberies or murders in the country over the years. It was so late and it was so dark. If she opened the door, it would be like giving her own house. Attract thieves.
But the elevator can't run without electricity, and the corridor is dark. This apartment is a one-echelon-one-family apartment. There is only one family on each floor. There are no neighbors or people across the door. If she happens here. Whatever happened, it was probably because Tiantian was not working.
"Who?" Ji Nuan said in a cold voice that she was not someone to be trifled with.
However, the other party's "courage" had no intention of being frightened by her, and she even heard him laugh, a very shallow smile that came from his chest.
She squeezed the key in her hand, thought about it, and was about to ask him what his purpose was. If it was for money, she could get him some money. After all, it was important to save her life. In this world, you would be a fool to act recklessly. Call the police instead of calling the police. , we have to wait until we can save our lives.
But before she opened her mouth, she only saw the man throw the cigarette to the ground casually, and the spark was extinguished by him, making a "hiss" sound in the empty and quiet escalator passage that made people's hearts tremble.
For a moment, Ji Nuan was still doubting whether the other person was a neighbor on a certain floor who forgot to bring his key or someone else. He was considering whether to ask him whether he was a robber to avoid misunderstanding. In the end, the man's figure was gone in an instant. He came closer, and at the moment when the hairs all over her body stood up and she was about to scream for help, he pressed her hard against the door.
"What are you doing... help... um..."
The moment her body was imprisoned on the door panel, the voice that came out of her mouth had not made much movement or power before she was suddenly silenced by a man's kiss. The clear taste, mixed with the smell of tobacco, sealed her lips instantly.
Ji Nuan was confused. He had climbed the fifteenth floor just now, and he still hadn't recovered. At this moment, his legs were even weak and trembling. He instinctively raised his hand to push the person away, but was stopped by someone. Pressed to death.
The kiss on her lips was so aggressive that she couldn't distinguish it for a moment, and her whole heart was trembling violently. She was about to use the self-defense method Feng Ling had taught her, but the moment she raised her wrist, the man As if he had predicted it, he directly raised his hand to hold her wrist, then pressed her hands to both sides of her body, and kissed her passionately on her lips. In this moment of weakness, she could easily open her lips and tongue.
The man's increasingly aggressive and deep kisses made Ji Nuan, who had been desperately trying to resist, gradually calm down. She leaned against the door weakly. At this moment, not only her legs were so tired that she was tangled, but now her whole body was exhausted. The blood is trembling in the body.
She was so flustered just now that she couldn't tell who the man in front of her was, but even though the smell of smoke affected her ability to distinguish slightly, this kind of kiss, this entanglement, and this smell were all familiar.
She leaned stiffly against the door panel, motionless, but the man kissed her even more fiercely than when she was struggling just now, as if he wanted to bite her lips and kiss her deeply, as if he wanted to devour her directly into his belly.
Ji Nuan was already so tired that her lungs hurt even when she was breathing, and now she was deprived of all the air. Stars appeared in front of her eyes when she was being kissed, and she could barely stand upright against the door.
When the man saw that she no longer struggled, he pinned her firmly to the door panel. He held her waist with one hand and fixed her face with the other hand, leaving no room for her to escape. The man kissed her wantonly, as if he wanted to be here. All the gaps in the past three years were filled in an instant.
Until he tasted a trace of blood, she didn't know whether it was his tongue that was bitten by her, or her lips that were sucked by him. But at the moment when the faint blood filled their mouths, his kiss was gentle. After a while, she slowly absorbed the sweetness in her mouth, as if she was pitiful and unable to control herself. Even the taste of blood was as sweet as sugar.
Ji Nuan was in a trance as she was being kissed, until the man finally let go of her lips, and instead pressed his forehead against hers, leaning against her as if suppressing and restraining himself, and slowly calming his breathing. .
His lips were soaked in the coolness of the air in the dark corridor.
Finally I can breathe.
Ji Nuan took a deep breath, clenched the hand that had been weakly pressed against the door into a fist, and spoke in a low and cool voice: "Mr. Mo, what do you mean?"
