Xu Chengyi held her hand and lay beside the bed and fell asleep.

As if he felt that she was awake, he opened his eyes and met Su Yunuan's clean eyes.

"Yu Nuan, are you awake?" He smiled, and then saw that she was lost in thought somewhere, so he followed her eyes and saw that his hand was holding her hand tightly. He felt a little

He took his hand back apologetically and said with a smile: "Sorry, I fell asleep just now."

Su Yunuan shook his head. "It's okay, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be trapped in the elevator."

Recalling how she was trapped in the elevator, no one came to rescue her despite how long she screamed. At that time, she really thought she was going to be trapped in there for the night.

Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi frowned, and although his voice was gentle, there was a hint of questioning: "I asked you to go drink coffee with me when I got off work in the evening. Why didn't you go? And why were you trapped in the elevator?"

If she had gone with him, maybe she wouldn't be trapped in the elevator.

Su Yunuan sighed. She could also hear the unhappiness in his tone, and could only helplessly spread her hands: "Manager Xu... I didn't mean not to go with you. I'm just too tired. I'll do it after you leave."

I lay down on the table and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already night, so I packed my things and went back. Who knew that the elevator would break down halfway."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyi looked at her with more gentle eyes, "Okay, I blamed you wrongly. But why are you so tired? Is it because An'an is making things difficult for you?"

"No, maybe it's because the weather is too hot." She turned her head slightly. How could she let him know about the problem between her and Daidai? If he knew, he would definitely stand up for her.

.

At this time, Xu Chengyi suddenly stretched out his hand to touch her cheek. After being stunned for a long time, he just pushed back the broken hair on her forehead and said softly: "Why are you always so embarrassed every time I meet you?"

Hearing this, Su Yunuan also smiled slightly, "Yes, I also want to know why I am so embarrassed every time I meet you. Manager Xu, are you not the bane of my life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his nose being scratched by him: "Nonsense, even if I am a star, I am your lucky star. Every time you see you in trouble, I am the one who saves you from fire and water."

"It seems to be true, then consider you a lucky star!"

"Why are you always so bad at taking care of yourself? Like a child!" Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi gave her an angry look. When he met her for the first time, she was in a mess and her white clothes were soaked with water.

stains, but she didn't cry and looked proud.

The second time I met her was in the supermarket next to the hospital. Regardless of her own danger, she foolishly used her body to protect the child in danger, disregarding her own safety.

The third time I met her, her feet were red and swollen from the boiling water, and her skin was about to burst, but she still smiled and said it was okay.

But this time, she was trapped in the elevator. When he entered, she was so frightened that she desperately hugged herself tightly, burying herself in her arms and crying bitterly.

At that moment, he could say that he really felt her fear, because a few times before, she was not afraid of danger, but this time, she was actually trembling and crying.

Thinking of this, he looked at her with doubt in his eyes and asked: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

When Su Yunuan heard this, his body trembled slightly. After a long time, he nodded gently.

"Can you tell me why?" Xu Chengyi stared at her closely. This girl is so distressing. She always seems to have endless secrets about her. Many things seem to have happened to her.

Sometimes her eyes are as pure as a glass of spring water, and sometimes they are as sad as if they have gone through many vicissitudes of life.

What happened to her in the past that would make such a young girl have such expressions and eyes, and even risk everything to work as a cleaner in the company.

To him, these are all a mystery.

He didn't dare to ask her before, for fear that it would poke the pain in her heart.

But after this time, he felt that his curiosity was even stronger.

Su Yunuan didn't want to say it at first, but seeing him looking at her worriedly, and remembering that he always saved her every time he was in danger, he sighed slightly.

"Darkness makes me feel insecure."

"Did anything unpleasant happen to you before?"

Su Yunuan lowered her head and spoke calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"My mother passed away when I was very young. She passed away because of an illness. Because of her illness, my father went bankrupt and sold all the things in the family. He also failed to cure my mother's illness. My mother

Not wanting to drag my father and I down, I turned on the oxygen mask myself and died of lack of oxygen."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyi couldn't help but sigh to Su Yunuan's mother, this woman is so great.

"I was afraid of the dark when I was very young, so my mother would always light a small desk lamp for me when I was sleeping. I remember that she bought that desk lamp for me because I was afraid of the dark, so she

A small light would always be lit for me at night, and this feeling has stayed with me for eight years."

"However, eight years later, everything has changed. No one will turn on the light for me when I sleep, and no one will stay with me. Whenever I fall into darkness, I feel like I am back again.

The day my mother passed away, everything was dark. There was no mother, no lamp, just endless darkness."

"I'm embarrassed, right? My mother said that a girl's tears are the most precious things and should not be shed casually. I have promised my mother since I was a child that I will not cry, nor will I throw away the most precious things that belong to me. So, my mother passed away

I didn’t cry during that time...and I didn’t cry after that.”

"But tonight, when I was trapped in the elevator, surrounded by darkness and nothing... I felt... I seemed to have returned to the day my mother passed away. I couldn't help it!"

Su Yunuan's expression was indifferent, with a smile on her face, as if this incident had happened to someone else.

But she didn't know that the more she acted like this, the more Xu Chengyi felt distressed.

"I……"

Before Su Yunuan could say anything, Xu Chengyi had already stepped forward and hugged her tightly, with such strength that even he himself found it shocking.

"Manager Xu..."

"Call my name, didn't I say that? We are friends, don't call me Manager Xu, it seems awkward!"

"But..." Su Yunuan was held in his arms. The warm embrace made her feel very comfortable, but his strength was too strong and it strangled her body until it hurt.

Xu Chengyi's strength did not weaken, but instead increased. He buried his face in her neck and said softly: "There is no but, I like you, Yu Nuan."

boom!

Su Yunuan felt like there was a bang in her head, and she couldn't hear anything after that.

What did she hear? Did she hear it correctly?

"Manager Xu, you, what are you talking about?" Su Yunuan realized that her words were stuttering after she spoke.

Xu Chengyi was afraid that she would reject him, so he hugged her tighter and refused to let her go. "I feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you very much. Let me take care of you, okay?"

He didn't want to see her in embarrassment anymore. Every time she pretended to be strong, it made him feel distressed. He wanted to love this girl, want to keep her by his side and pamper her forever.

"Manager Xu, let me go first." Su Yunuan was out of breath, "I'm about to be strangled to death by you."

After hearing this, Xu Chengyi realized that his strength was too great, and quickly let her go, but he still refused to move away, and his big hand still held her hand tightly.

"I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now."

Su Yunuan raised her head and met his gentle, watery eyes, feeling panicked in her heart.

"You..." She thought that he had always been kind to her as a boss who cared about his subordinates. She never thought that he would have thoughts about her. His sudden confession really frightened her.

And I don't know what to plan.

Xu Chengyi looked at her tenderly, his eyes so gentle that he could almost drown. His big hands were so warm that they just covered her small palms.

"I've known you not long ago, and I don't know when I fell in love with you, but I had a strange feeling when I saw you for the first time. It wasn't until I saw you were about to face danger for the second time that I actually felt a little...

Scared, that's when I was sure that I really liked you. But I was afraid of scaring you, so I wanted to wait a while before telling you. But seeing you like this tonight, I really can't wait any longer

, I don’t want to see you alone and helpless again, Su Yunuan, give me a chance, I am willing to be your support and take care of you forever in the future, okay?"

After hearing this, Su Yunuan was lying when she said she wasn't moved, but... being moved is not liking her. She always seemed to have only Mu Mingyou in her heart, even though... Mu Mingyou had been rejected by her because she felt he couldn't give it.

The love she wanted would not last long even if the two of them were together. She always felt that Mu Mingyou didn't really like her.

To avoid being heartbroken in the future, it’s better to do something simple.

Besides, she has a boyfriend now, even though he is pretending to be.

"Manager Xu..."

"Call me Chengyi!"

"Chengyi..." Su Yunuan always felt a little awkward, but as soon as she screamed, Xu Chengyi's eyes softened a little, making her look away in panic.

"But I already have a boyfriend."

Hearing this, Xu Chengyi's smile condensed on his lips, as if he didn't believe this blow. "Tell me, what did you say?"

"I said I already have a boyfriend."

"How can it be?"

"Really, Manager Xu, I've been with him for a while." Su Yunuan lowered her head and said softly. Although the hurt expression on his face made her feel very guilty, but with her identity, he is a perfect match.

She doesn't like him, and she doesn't have that kind of feeling towards him... she just feels a very cordial feeling that he is a brother.

"How is it possible? If you really have a boyfriend? Then why haven't I heard you mention it? I haven't seen him appear next to you?" If she really has a boyfriend, why has that man never appeared? He would not come to the company to pick her up from get off work. For a girl like her, if it were him, he would definitely hold her in the palm of his hand and pamper her. He would pick her up from get off work every day, take her to eat delicious food, and give her How could she let herself get hurt over and over again?
