Chapter 676: Chapter 675: You Care About Me (3)
The elevator suddenly began to plummet.
Initially thinking the elevator had merely malfunctioned, Shi Che had not expected it to suddenly fall. Almost without thinking, he had lunged toward Ling Chuxia, embraced her, and crouched with her in the corner, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other grabbing the elevator’s handrail.
The elevator’s speed was extremely fast, dropping several floors in an instant. Due to the loss of gravity, it felt like free falling, as if jumping from a high building. Although Shi Che had quickly crouched down with Ling Chuxia in the emergency, the high number of floors made the fall feel as if they had harshly crashed to the ground, violently shaking them both.
Because Shi Che had held Ling Chuxia in front of him, his strength continuously supported her. When they fell, there was a cushion, so her body was only slightly shaken and wasn’t severely hurt.
But the sudden scare had stunned her, and it took her a long while to regain her senses.
After some time, Ling Chuxia’s consciousness slowly returned. She lifted her eyes and saw Shi Che’s chest; her entire body was tightly encircled in front of him, most of his strength supporting her. But what about him? How was he?
A pang of panic surged in Ling Chuxia’s heart. She slightly lifted her head and looked at Shi Che. The lights inside the elevator had gone out, plunging everything into darkness. Ling Chuxia could only make out the vague outline of Shi Che’s face above her but couldn’t clearly see his expression. Her voice trembled involuntarily as she called out, "Shi Che? Shi Che? Are you okay?"
Ling Chuxia kept calling his name several times, but Shi Che above her did not respond. Ling Chuxia’s heart raced with increasing fear, her voice involuntarily growing louder, "Shi Che, Shi Che? Are you alright? Answer me, don’t scare me!"
However, Shi Che still did not respond.
Ling Chuxia’s body uncontrollably began to tremble. She couldn’t care less; she slowly reached out to touch Shi Che’s face, tracing up to his eyes, which were closed. Ling Chuxia’s hand trembled violently.
What was wrong with him? Was he unconscious? Or...?
Ling Chuxia had seen news before about elevator accidents, which had resulted in numerous deaths, especially from elevators plummeting, which was akin to jumping from a building.
The elevator had started falling from the tenth floor. If it reached the bottom now, then... wouldn’t Shi Che be akin to having jumped from the tenth floor? Moreover, he had been holding her, which meant the weight of two people...
So now...
No, impossible, he must have just passed out, nothing serious could have happened, impossible.
Although Ling Chuxia was fiercely denying it, she just couldn’t bring herself to reach out and check Shi Che’s breathing.
Ling Chuxia tried to take deep breaths, trying not to let her mind wander. What she needed to do now was to quickly find someone to help them, yes, to get help!
Fearing that moving might harm Shi Che, Ling Chuxia only extended her hand to retrieve her mobile phone from her purse and quickly dialed the property management’s number.
After a long series of ringing tones, property management answered the phone. Unable to contain her anxiety and panic, Ling Chuxia shouted into the phone, "The elevator at Yingyue Building is malfunctioning, come and save us quickly."
