Chapter 353 Power outage

Moving the rice paper over, Chen Zhihe took a closer look and found that it was indeed good.

"like?"

"Well, I think it's good."

"Send it to you."

Chen Zhihe looked at Lu Caiwei, saw her looking directly at him, and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite."

Lu Caiwei stood up, took out a paper tube, rolled up the words she had just written, stuffed it in and handed it to Chen Zhihe.

The two returned to the living room and sat down separately.

Putting the paper tube aside, Chen Zhihe picked up the tea cup and drank tea.

"Have you found an internship?" Chen Zhihe asked.

Lu Caiwei nodded and said, "Well, I've been there for a while."

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Lu Caiwei thought for a while and said, "It's different from what I thought."

Chen Zhihe laughed loudly, it was naturally different.

Let alone an intern, I am a trainee lawyer. When I first joined a law firm, I was working as a handyman. Naturally, I felt there was a gap.

The lawyer profession looks glamorous and interesting, but in fact it is boring and even a bit torturous at first.

"Why is it different?" Chen Zhihe asked deliberately.

Lu Caiwei said: "I thought I would just do odd jobs when I first went there, but I didn't expect that I would be exposed to actual business as soon as I went there. It was quite interesting."

Chen Zhihe's face froze and he cursed secretly.

This is simply gender discrimination, no, it is also appearance discrimination.

This one looks beautiful, but it's different.

Thinking about the difficulties he experienced during his internship, Chen Zhihe felt depressed for a while.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhihe smiled and said: "That's not bad. Generally, it is difficult for newcomers to get started in the business."

Lu Caiwei nodded and said with some confusion: "You seem to know the law firm very well?"

Chen Zhihe laughed and said, "I heard something."

Lu Caiwei didn't dwell on the topic and asked casually: "What about you?"

Chen Zhihe said: "I applied for postgraduate study guarantee."

Lu Caiwei nodded. Chen Zhihe had said to her before: "This school?"

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "Well, I don't want to go anywhere else. I'm used to it."

Lu Caiwei said thoughtfully: "Good habit."

Then, the two of them stopped talking again and drank tea each.

The tea was not bitter, but had a faint floral aroma. It should be some kind of scented tea, but Chen Zhihe couldn't tell what kind of flower it was.

Suddenly, the lights in the living room flickered and then went out completely.

The moonlight outside the window did not shine in, it only stayed on the balcony, and the room was dark.

By the faint light, Chen Zhihe felt that Lu Caiwei seemed to be shaking.

"Power outage?"

"Well... it should be... it should be." Lu Caiwei's voice was trembling.

"Maybe the house is too old and the wiring is aging. It doesn't matter." Chen Zhihe said softly.

"Yeah." Lu Caiwei replied in a low voice.

Vaguely, Chen Zhihe saw Lu Caiwei holding her shoulders with her hands, and something seemed wrong.

Thinking of the stories she told him about her childhood, Chen Zhihe remembered it.

She is afraid of the dark.

Somehow, seeing Lu Caiwei, who usually took everything indifferently, like this, Chen Zhihe felt soft in his heart.

"You can, sit here with me." Chen Zhihe said softly.

Lu Caiwei didn't answer. She seemed to struggle for a while before she mustered up the courage to sit over.

Feeling Lu Caiwei sitting over, Chen Zhihe changed his position, as if to block something for her.

Suddenly, Chen Zhihe felt a cold feeling in his hands, and he held them tightly.

It's Lu Caiwei's hand.

Feeling the strength in his hands, Chen Zhihe knew that Lu Caiwei was panicking inside.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhihe stretched out his hand and put his arm around her shoulders, letting Lu Caiwei, who was shrinking into a ball, lean into his arms.

Lu Caiwei didn't resist at all. After the meal, she pressed closely against Chen Zhihe and buried her face in his chest.

Just like that, in the darkness, Lu Caiwei gradually relaxed and her breathing slowly became calmer.

After thirty long minutes, the lights came on.

Suddenly bright again, Chen Zhihe squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to adapt.

There was no reaction from Lu Caiwei in his arms. Chen Zhihe lowered his head and saw that she was hugging him tightly and sleeping peacefully.

Chen Zhihe was in a daze.

How did this happen tonight?

Originally, he just came over to take a look, but now Lu Caiwei is actually sleeping in his arms.

Looking down at Lu Caiwei with a peaceful expression, Chen Zhihe sighed.

Raising his head, Chen Zhihe looked thoughtful.

He was thinking that everything tonight seemed to be arranged, everything was so natural and happened logically.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable staying with Lu Caiwei at such a close distance.

It all happened so fast that he had no time to think.

"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Lu Caiwei woke up in her arms. When she opened her eyes, she looked directly at Chen Zhihe.

Chen Zhihe quickly let go and helped Lu Caiwei sit up.

"I was thinking, I didn't expect there would be a power outage in the Magic City," Chen Zhihe said.

Lu Caiwei nodded, smoothed her messed up hair naturally, and said, "It's indeed quite rare. I've never encountered it before."

After standing up, she sat back on the small stool. Looking at her expression, it was as if what happened before had never happened.

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

After all, Lu Caiwei still couldn't pretend that nothing happened. A trace of blush flashed across her flawless face: "Just now... thank you."

As for whether Chen Zhihe came at the right time, only she knew.

Chen Zhihe said with a smile: "You're welcome."

I looked at the time, it was almost 11 o'clock.

Chen Zhihe stood up, paused, and said, "It's getting late, I should go."

Lu Caiwei nodded slightly and said nothing.

After walking a few steps, Chen Zhihe turned back again.

Picking up the paper tube placed on the sofa and waving it in his hand, Chen Zhihe winked at Lu Caiwei: "Thank you."

With a smile on her face, Lu Caiwei handed Chen Zhihe's coat to him and replied "You're welcome."

Watching Chen Zhihe go out, Lu Caiwei locked the door and immediately softened.

Lying on the sofa, she frowned for a while and seemed to smile for a while.

…

When he got home, Chen Zhihe put the paper tube on the table. After thinking about it, he took out the bracelet he bought during the day and put it together with the paper tube.

Only then did he realize that his phone was out of battery.

After charging his mobile phone and taking a hot bath, Chen Zhihe felt sleepy and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day and looked at his phone, he realized that both Lin Qingxuan and Tang Wan had sent him messages last night.

Lin Qingxuan asked him what he was doing at night, while Tang Wan thanked him for the gift.

After replying to the messages one by one, Chen Zhihe got up and took a quick shower.

I checked the refrigerator and found that there was not much food left, only a few eggs and half a carton of milk.

After having a makeshift breakfast, Chen Zhihe suddenly wanted to go home.
