Chapter 859 In the Elevator (Happy New Year)

Lin Cheng decided to order hot pot lamb, grilled lamb chops and stewed lamb ribs.

Perhaps because he had a great time chatting with Lin Cheng just now, the proprietress also gave the three of them a portion of rice cake.

Jiyeon: "Wow~ Lin Cheng, how come you can chat with everyone?"

Lin Cheng smiled, "It's mainly because he's handsome, what can I do?"

Ji Shengxi sighed, "It's over! I have to eat more. The snacks are given by the boss and it's not easy to leave them."

Lin Cheng waved his hand, "Hey! Miss Shengxi has a good figure, don't lose weight... And Jiyeon, don't you think you're a little too thin? You're so tall, you should have a little more meat."

Compared to a few years ago, Jiyeon is indeed a little thin now.

Jiyeon glanced at him: "Do you think my sister would look better if she was a little fatter?"

Lin Cheng was about to say that she would be sexier if she had more meat, but when he saw Jiyeon's dangerous eyes, he changed his words decisively: "That's not the case. She looks pretty good now."

"You're smart."

Soon, the waiter brought the copper pot and mutton, which was indeed very similar to the old BJ copper pot mutton that Lin Cheng had seen. There was a flue in the middle of the round copper stove, and the bottom of the pot was clear soup.

First, he dipped two slices of mutton in sesame sauce. The taste was really good, but as a Sichuanese, Lin Cheng couldn't help but add chili oil to the sesame sauce.

"How can you add chili oil to sesame sauce? You are really... what is that? Wild boars can't eat fine bran."

Lin Cheng's face darkened. He said this when he laughed at Jiyeon last time. He didn't expect that she was still holding a grudge.

"You don't understand the beauty of chili oil. As expected... Miss Eun-jeong's taste is more compatible with mine. She likes chili oil."

Ji-yeon pouted, "Tsk~ Then go have dinner with her."

"Are you jealous?"

"You big head ghost, how dare you take advantage of your sister?"

"Just a joke, don't be so serious."

As the waiter said, the dishes were quite large, and with Lin Cheng's excellent performance, the three of them barely ate most of it.

Ji Shengxi refused Lin Cheng's offer to see him off and took a taxi alone, while Lin Cheng sent Ji-yeon back to the downstairs of her apartment.

"Okay, go up by yourself."

"Don't you want to go up with me to see the snowflakes? It misses you very much."

Lin Cheng also missed the silly cat a little, so he simply entered the elevator with Ji-yeon.

As the elevator began to rise slowly, the two were still talking about the dinner just now, preparing to find an opportunity to visit again next time.

Although Ji-yeon's appetite is not as good as Eun-jeong's, she is a foodie.

Suddenly, the elevator stopped suddenly, and the elevator fell into darkness.

"Ah! What's going on?"

Jiyeon grabbed Lin Cheng's sleeve.

"Don't panic, let me check first."

Lin Cheng turned on his mobile phone and found that there was no signal, so he pressed the emergency button in the elevator with the light of the mobile phone.

But no one answered the emergency call.

Lin Cheng pressed it several times with the same result.

"What should I do? Is the elevator broken?"

Jiyeon's voice was a little nervous, and she held Lin Cheng's clothes tightly in the dark.

"Maybe the line is busy, wait a little longer, don't panic."

Lin Cheng was quite calm.

He stood by the emergency button and pressed it repeatedly.

Jiyeon didn't say anything to affect Lin Cheng's mood, but just grabbed his clothes and watched him press the bell again and again in the dark.

But nearly twenty minutes passed, and the emergency call was still not connected.

Twenty minutes is not a short time. In the small and dark elevator, the flow of time seems to slow down, and fear is easily magnified.

Listening to the sound of the emergency button being pressed repeatedly, even Lin Cheng's button frequency became a little chaotic.

Jiyeon was completely panicked, and her voice was nervous:

"Lin Cheng, will we die?"

Lin Cheng, who was originally a little anxious, couldn't help laughing, "What are you thinking? The elevator only stops on the third floor. Even if you fall down, it's not that easy to die."

"Oh."

Her voice was depressed.

Lin Cheng reached out and touched her head in the dark, "Oh! Don't worry! I'm still with you. Even if we have to die, we will die together."

Hearing Lin Cheng's joke, Jiyeon couldn't help but retort: ​​"What do you mean by die together? I don't want to die."

Lin Cheng sighed, it was you who brought it up?

"Don't worry! This situation is usually caused by a power outage, and it will be fine soon."

"Oh."

Ji Yan let go of the corner of the clothes she had been holding, and looked at Lin Cheng's silhouette in the dark, "Aren't you nervous?"

"Actually, a little."

Lin Cheng changed the subject, "But seeing you so scared, I'm not worried anymore, because if I get nervous again, it will be troublesome."

"Ah!"

Seeing that he could still joke, Ji Yan couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not scared, I'm just a little nervous."

"Okay! You're not scared, but you're a black belt master in Taekwondo."

"That's right."

Ji Yan said strong, but couldn't help but lean against Lin Cheng tightly.

"Don't squeeze me."

"Who's squeezing you? Sister is afraid that you'll be scared."

Lin Cheng was about to make a few jokes when he found that the emergency bell that he had been pressing with his left hand finally responded.

"Hey! Can you hear me...?"

"It's working! Lin Cheng is working!"

Ji Yan shook Lin Cheng's arm excitedly.

Lin Cheng smiled secretly and said he was not nervous?

Through communication with the emergency center staff, the two finally understood the cause of the incident.

It was indeed a power outage.

It was a large-scale power outage in the area.

After reporting the elevator number to the emergency center, the two had to wait.

At the same time, there were many people trapped in the elevator, and the emergency center staff were constantly comforting the trapped people.

"See! I said it was just a power outage, it will be fine after a while."

"How long will it take? Will it be like the one three years ago?"

"Don't worry, no one will die."

"Oh."

Three years ago, there was a large-scale power outage in Seoul, and people were trapped in 2,000 elevators, which caused considerable panic at the time.

The two chatted casually and simply squatted down by the elevator in the dark.

"Lin Cheng."

"Yeah."

"I was actually very scared just now."

"I know, anyone would be scared to stay in a dark elevator for 20 minutes."

"Actually, I know it won't be too dangerous, but I just can't help being scared. I'm even thinking about whether to write a will... Don't laugh at me."

"Okay! This is normal, don't feel embarrassed, I don't mean to laugh at you."

"Oh."

The two fell silent.

I felt Zhiyan, who was sitting next to me, leaning against me again.

"Are you cold?"

The air circulation in the elevator is actually very good, but compared to public places with heating everywhere, the elevator will seem colder.

"A little."

Hearing her answer, Lin Cheng simply reached out and hugged her.

"You're taking advantage of me again."

"I just... forget it."

Lin Cheng retracted his arm.

As a result, he soon felt a soft body take the initiative to get into his coat.

"Just think of it as my sister taking advantage of you this time."
