"I'm leaving, where can I see you being such a coward?" Guo Jinchen teased her, "Usually you show your teeth and claws like a tigress, but when it gets dark, you jump and scream in fear."
Yu Xiaoai said awkwardly: "That doesn't make people afraid of the dark?"
"Heh." Guo Jinchen chuckled.
Some of the residents upstairs stuck their heads out from the balcony, looked down and asked Yu Xiaoai: "Xiaoai, do you know what's going on? Why is there a power outage when everything is fine?"
"Uncle Bai, I don't know either." Yu Xiaoai raised her head and said.
Uncle Bai is an old man in his sixties, who used to be a school janitor. He talks humorously and has the energy of an alley man. He also has a good relationship with Father Yu.
"Hey! Xiao Ai, are you having a boyfriend?" Uncle Bai asked excitedly.
Yu Xiaoai waved her hand and said, "No, I'm just an ordinary friend. Don't make blind guesses!"
"I understand, but I'm very strict with my words. I won't tell your father." The old man was quite "righteous".
He then said to Guo Jinchen: "Hey, man, have a good time with our Xiao Ai. This girl is really stupid. Don't bully her because of her stupidity."
Guo Jinchen didn't answer, he raised his head and smiled leisurely.
Yu Xiaoai was anxious: "Hey, Uncle Bai, I didn't let you guess blindly, but you just said it! Also, why am I stupid?"
Uncle Bai also laughed: "Girl, I have watched you grow up. What are you like? I don't know what you are like?"
Yu Xiaoai felt that she had been exposed, and was furious. She wanted to rush back into the house, but it was dark behind the unit door, so she flinched again. But she was wearing pajamas, so she couldn't just stand outside like this? She bit
Gritting his teeth, he dragged Guo Jinchen into the unit.
Yu Xiaoai's house is on the first floor, a large three-bedroom apartment with good visibility from north to south. As soon as she opened the door and stood at the door, an unknown object suddenly rushed out of the room, frightening the unsuspecting Guo Jinchen.
"It's my Xiaoba." Yu Xiaoai knelt down, hugged the teddy dog in her arms, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiaoba, my sister didn't leave you behind on purpose. She was just too scared.
I don't know why I ran away first, are we, Xiaoba, scared?"
Guo Jinchen put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked lazily at her and the dog, and asked slowly, "Do you plan on us just standing at the door like this?"
Yu Xiaoai put down the dog and said to him: "Come in first."
I found him slippers in the dark, followed him closely, and took him to the sofa, where they sat side by side.
"Won't you pour me a glass of water?" Guo Jinchen asked.
"I don't dare to go to the kitchen unless you accompany me." Yu Xiaoai said confidently.
Guo Jinchen laughed at her: "You are such a coward, how dare you live at home alone?"
"If there was no power outage, the lights in the room would be bright, of course I would dare." She argued unconvinced.
Xiao Ba jumped on the sofa and snuggled next to Yu Xiaoai. The two of them and the dog stayed quietly, with only the bright light from the mobile phone.
For a long time, Yu Xiaoai looked at her phone and whispered: "Ah, the owner group said that there will be no call until three hours later."
She looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was already half past nine. Then she glanced at the person next to her from the corner of her eye, wondering if she really wanted him to stay with her until midnight?
Guo Jinchen was beside her, holding a mobile phone in one hand, patting her thigh with the other hand, and said to her: "Okay, you know the time when there is a call, so please pay attention to your safety, I will leave first."
"Hey!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Xiaoai hurriedly grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Are you leaving now?"
"Why are you not walking here? We are alone in the same room. You don't feel safe, do you? Lock the door yourself, find the unused candles from the birthday, light them, and give them some light. Hold your little one in your arms.
Eight, you will get a call soon." Guo Jinchen said.
Yu Xiaoai looked at the darkness in the room, grabbed his arm tightly, and begged: "Please stay with me for a little longer, there are no birthday candles at home."
Guo Jinchen looked sideways at her and asked, "I'm here, aren't you afraid?"
"Hmm..." Yu Xiaoai hesitated, then gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be afraid! You are not a bad person, and you are Li Jinghan's friend. There is no reason to do anything to hurt me."
She begged him again: "Young Master Guo, please stay with me for a while. I'm really afraid of the dark."
"Okay then." Guo Jinchen nodded, "For the sake of you begging me so much, I will be a good person and do it to the end, and stay with you for a while longer."
When Yu Xiaoai heard what he said, she became happy and said, "Well, let's go to the kitchen and I'll get you a Coke."
Guo Jinchen sneered, got up and followed her to the kitchen.
Yu Xiaoai didn't know when the call came. She only knew that when she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside. She was in her parents' room, and Xiaoba was curled up on the corner of the bed.
She sat up, rubbed her head, looked outside the bedroom, and called tentatively: "Guo Jinchen? Guo Jinchen?"
No answer.
She let out a breath and said to herself: "When did you leave last night? Why did I fall asleep?"
Taking the phone and looking at the time, Yu Xiaoai screamed in horror again, "Ah! You're late!" She quickly got out of bed and was so busy that she didn't even put on slippers and ran to the bathroom barefoot.
Opening the bathroom door, she immediately saw Guo Jinchen sitting on the toilet, lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone, with some of his buttocks and thighs exposed. This scene was so exciting.
"Ah!" Yu Xiaoai screamed in fear again, covered her eyes with her hands, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"
"You're taking a shit." Guo Jinchen said seriously, "Can you please go out first?"
Yu Xiaoai slammed the door shut, and through the door, she asked angrily: "Why didn't you leave? I thought you left?"
"There was no call last night and you didn't let me leave. I was afraid that you would be scared if you fell asleep and woke up, so I stayed here."
"Then how did I fall asleep?"
"I'm lying on the sofa and fell asleep. I won't wake up even if I tell you. I'm like a dead pig."
Yu Xiaoai rolled her eyes and asked again: "Then why didn't you say anything when I called you just now?"
"Is it okay if you didn't hear it?"
"Okay." Yu Xiaoai stopped disturbing him and went back to the living room to wait.
Soon, Guo Jinchen came out, walked over and asked, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"
Yu Xiaoai jumped to her feet anxiously, "I'm going to be late for work, so I won't eat."
She rushed into the bathroom in a hurry, and was blinded by the "aromatic" smell inside. She forced herself to wash up and came out. She quickly changed her clothes, put on simple light makeup, carried her bag and went to the door to change her shoes.
Guo Jinchen was pouring dog food for Xiaoba in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. When he saw this, he asked, "Are you leaving now?"
