Seven minutes later, the corridor alarm sounded, and the piercing ringing of the bell was accompanied by the sound of doors opening and closing one after another, waking up the entire building from its silence.
Residents shouted from the corridor: "Is it on fire? Where is it on fire?"
"Run down, don't take the elevator!"
"Take the safe passage, come here!"
The sound of footsteps echoed through the safe passage.
In the whole building, Ruan Yu, the only one who didn't move, stood at the dining table in the living room, holding a smoking pot to the smoke alarm, covered his mouth, coughed and burst into tears.
A minute later, the door intercom in Room 1201 where she was located rang.
Ruan Yu's heart was beating wildly, he glanced at the direction of the walkie-talkie, and counted secretly in his heart.
Don't let the alarm go off for too long. If there is a big noise, it may attract fire trucks and affect the rest of the neighbors. It is a crime to lie about the fire alarm and cause waste of fire resources.
She counted thirty in her heart, and just about to put the lid on the pot to put out the hot smoke, when the overhead sprayer suddenly started to pour water.
Ruan Yu was drenched in the water, and after a few moments of stunned, he jumped off the table and ran over to connect to the walkie-talkie.
A fast male voice came from the intercom: "This is the fire control room! Is there a fire upstairs?"
Ruan Yu coughed so hard that he could barely speak, and said in a hoarse voice, "My dishes are burnt..."
The person at the other end seemed to be relieved, and turned his head to say to others: "Turn off the alarm! Notify the residents! The sprinkler system in room 1201 is on, please turn off the valve manually!"
The whole building returned to calm in an instant, except that the sprinkler system in the living room where Ruan Yu lived was still in operation, but in less than a minute, the water flooded Jinshan.
The sprinkler system was not turned off so quickly, Ruan Yu rescued the laptop, just when he was drenched, he heard a knock on the door.
To be precise, it was smashed.
She stepped on the stagnant water and ran to open the door, thinking it was someone from the property management, pressed the doorknob and said quickly, "I'm sorry, right..."
Then he saw Xu Huaisong standing at the door.
Two buttons of his shirt were loose, and his forehead hair was stuck together. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he closed his eyes, put his hand on the door frame, and panted heavily while holding the edge.
Ruan Yu's heart shook, and he lost his ability to speak for a moment.
Before the two had time to talk to each other, two property personnel arrived. One entered Ruan Yu's house to deal with the sprinkler system, and the other asked for details at the door.
Ruan Yu asked anxiously: "May I ask if the residents of this building have all evacuated downstairs?"
The property staff nodded seriously: "Ms. Ruan, please explain the situation to me. We must give a reasonable explanation to the residents downstairs."
She was a little nervous, and said falteringly: "I'm sorry, I was cooking at home, and the pot caught fire..."
The property owner glanced inside the door and asked doubtfully: "Smoke from the kitchen may indeed trigger the smoke alarm, but the sprinkler system will only activate when the temperature is high. Are you sure you are just cooking?"
Ruan Yu wiped the water from his face: "I took the pot that caught fire to the living room, so..." She said and bowed to the property staff, "I'm really sorry, I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter, next time Lou will apologize and pay compensation to everyone if necessary."
Xu Huaisong frowned, stopped in front of her, and said to her, "Go clean, put on some clothes, and stay here, and I'll take care of it." Then he turned and went downstairs with the property owner.
Ten minutes later, the property repaired the sprinkler system urgently, and left after making an appointment with Ruan Yu for follow-up maintenance.
Seeing that Xu Huaisong hadn't come back yet, she took the cell phone that shut itself off into the dry bedroom to charge it, and planned to contact him, but when she dialed the number, she found that he was dead and turned off, so she put on her clothes, closed the door and went out.
At the door, I happened to meet the family of the landlord next door taking the elevator upstairs.
The benevolent landlady came forward and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's not a fire. It's okay. The alarm in the building has sounded like this before. Everyone should exercise and do a fire drill. If there is an accident, it's not familiar." Familiar with the road, is the escape faster?"
Knowing that this was comforting her, Ruan Yu nodded gratefully: "I have caused you trouble."
The landlady shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and asked, "Is that your boyfriend downstairs?"
"Um."
"A very nice young man." She smiled. "When we were evacuating, he ran up against the flow of people alone. He didn't listen when he was stopped. He just said-'my girlfriend is still on top'."
Ruan Yu's nose was sore, and his eyes, which were already red from smoking, became even more wet in an instant.
When the landlord's family returned to the room, she walked to the corridor window and looked down. She could vaguely see a few residents left below. They might not want to take things lightly and pestered the property management for an explanation.
Under the streetlight, Xu Huaisong seemed to be apologizing to them, and bowed to them one by one, ninety degrees to the end.
Ruan Yu turned around and ran into the elevator. As soon as he reached the first floor, he saw Xu Huaisong come back from the outside.
Before she had time to consider that this was a public place, she hugged him and buried her head in his arms: "I have wronged you."
Xu Huaisong touched the back of her head, lowered his head and smiled: "Why are you wronged? It's not really a fire, and there is a chance to apologize, isn't it good?"
Ruan Yu sniffed and hugged him tighter.
Suddenly he heard a female voice coming from behind him: "I'm sorry..."
It was Sun Miaohan's voice.
Ruan Yu quickly let go of Xu Huaisong, turned to look at her, saw that her eyes were red and her hair was messy, and asked, "Are you okay?"
She shook her head, tears started to fall.
Ruan Yu patted her on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort, and asked, "What about others?"
"Let's go..." Sun Miaohan replied while sobbing, "When the alarm sounded, I took advantage of the chaos and ran downstairs with my neighbor, and saw him driving away."
Ruan Yu said "Yes", thought for a while, then turned to Xu Huaisong and said, "I'll take her upstairs first."
Considering that there was a big man around and it was inconvenient to ask Sun Miaohan too many details, Ruan Yu waited until he entered her house before saying, "What's going on?"
As soon as I finished asking this question, I saw that her living room was in a mess, the floor lamp was overturned, the glasses were broken, the pillows were torn apart...
This is where the unspoken rules.
This is simply attempted rape.
Ruan Yu suffocated for a moment, feeling a blockage in his chest.
She didn't even have the courage to ask about the process.
Sun Miao wiped her tears and said: "He is a senior executive of Huanshi. He watched my performance before and said that he admired my acting skills and intended to promote me as the heroine. Tonight, he took me to have dinner with a director. Tell me to take me home later..."
"I'm so stupid, I can't even understand this kind of words. I thought that sending me home was just sending me home. When I got into the elevator, he started to move, so I..."
She didn't go any further, maybe because she didn't want to think about it or couldn't say it, she lowered her eyes and bent down to pick up the broom and started to clean the broken glass.
Ruan Yu squatted down, helped her up the floor lamp, and asked, "You escaped tonight, what are you going to do next?"
After Xu Huaisong entered the house, he also started cleaning.
The living room is full of water, most of the furniture is wet, and it is a big project to dry it.
He was wiping the sofa with an absorbent towel when he suddenly heard vibrations coming from the bedroom. He went in and found that it was Ruan Yu's charging phone ringing, and the screen showed that Li Shican was calling.
He was silent, did not answer, but soon heard the second phone ring again.
After the three calls rang in succession, he had no choice but to answer. As soon as he picked up the phone, Li Shican gasped and said, "I finally answered the phone. Are you going to scare me to death..."
Xu Huaisong choked on his lips with a "Hello".
Hearing that there was no response here, Li Shican hurriedly said: "What's the situation with you now? I'm downstairs at your house."
Xu Huaisong finally replied, "She's fine."
There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone.
After ten seconds, Li Shican, who was standing in front of the elevator on the first floor, smiled and confirmed, "Lawyer Xu?"
"Um."
"It's fine if it's okay. She called me just now, and she cut off halfway through the call. I'm worried, so..."
"Um."
"Then I'll go back."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Huaisong gently put down the phone.
No need to check call records, no need to ask.
At the time of the incident, Ruan Yu's mobile phone was running out of battery, and the contact person for the last call was not him, but Li Shican.
Xu Huaisong looked down at the seventeen missed calls displayed on the screen of the phone, and at the same time, the scene of Li Shican rushing into the tea room thinking that something happened to her was displayed in his mind.
For a full ten minutes, he stood motionless in a dark bedroom.
Until the door of the house was opened with a bang, Ruan Yu called him in the living room: "Huai Song?"
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Are you in the room?" Ruan Yu put on his slippers and stepped on the stagnant water and walked in doubtfully. When he pushed open the door of the bedroom, before he could see anything clearly, he was pulled by a force and pushed his back against the wall. .
In the darkness, a familiar masculine breath came over his face, and Xu Huaisong's lips fell.
She was taken aback, and wanted to ask "what's the matter", but when she opened her mouth, he misunderstood her intention.
Xu Huaisong entangled her, quickly, directly, and relentlessly, eroding her like he wanted to tear her apart.
He pressed her firmly against the wall, fitting tightly with her, without a single gap left.
Ruan Yu accepted the kiss passively, waves surged in his head one after another, and he felt him trembling in a daze.
He trembled under such a strong offensive.
He is obviously an aggressor, but he is afraid and panicking, as if he wants to get a safe signal from such intimacy.
Ruan Yu was gradually out of breath, and raised his hand to push him.
But Xu Huaisong didn't stop this time.
He swallowed her, and his hot palm began to move behind her waist, as if he was trying to find a vent, but he couldn't find a way.
He let go of her lips, and kissed her behind her ear. At the same time, he poked his right hand through the hem of her clothes and moved up.
Ruan Yu trembled all over: "Huai Song, what's wrong with you Huai Song..."
Xu Huaisong moved stubbornly until the stubborn button was completely surrendered. Ruan Yu was startled and went to grab his hand.
He stopped his movements and instantly became a statue.
