1008 Perplexed and Smitten 68 (1/2)
She froze in shock and tensed up to the point that she could not move an inch.
”Let go of me, let go of me!”
”…”
She did not get any response and could only feel the man pressing his body against hers and groping her continuously.
Fang Erlan was frightened out of her senses and continuously screamed for help until she finally woke up.
She stared at her apartment, perplexed and unable to recover from the shock. She took a look at the clock on the wall and discovered that she had taken a nap for only half an hour.
Drenched in sweat, she discovered that the air conditioner was switched off. She initially thought that Xiao Yue had switched it off while on her way out. To her astonishment, there was a blackout!
Fang Erlan almost stopped breathing.
Why did I dream of a man…
She could not figure out why she had dreamed of such a scene all of a sudden. Could it be that the previous owner of the apartment had died in here?
The thought of it sent a cold shiver down Fang Erlan's spine, and she immediately pressed Yan Ge's doorbell.
”What's wrong…”
Fang Erlan asked, ”Did any of the previous occupants die in my apartment?”
Yan Ge answered with a squint, ”Did anyone die? No.”
”Are you sure?”
”Of course I'm sure. What's wrong?”
Fang Erlan finally heaved a sigh of relief. ”I had a nightmare, so I thought…”
”What nightmare…”
”Well…” She shook her head and continued, ”Nothing much, it was just a little terrifying.”
”I'm about to go out now but there's a blackout. Do you want to come along?”
”Where are you going?”
”To the supermarket downstairs. There's an electricity generator there so the air conditioner is still on. I also need to buy some groceries.”
”I'll go with you, my refrigerator is empty. Let's go.”
”Alright.”
They headed to the supermarket downstairs. Yan Ge only had a few things to buy and thus didn't need to use a shopping cart, unlike Fang Erlan, who had a long list of items on her shopping list.
They seemed just like a couple.
Although they were both wearing surgical masks, there were still people who had recognized them and snapped some photos of them together. Upon realizing that, Fang Erlan said to Yan Ge, ”Let's shop and pay separately.”
They then left separately.
The power in the estate was still not restored by the time they were done shopping. Thus, they decided to stand outside the entrance of the supermarket to enjoy the air conditioning while Fang Erlan snacked on some low-calorie snacks that she had bought.
”Do you want some snacks?”
”No.”
Fang Erlan did not say anything else.
”Do you think those photos of us will be uploaded to the internet?”
”Doesn't matter. Aren't we allowed to have private lives at all?” he said calmly.
”It may not matter to you but it matters to me…” Fang Erlan lowered her voice and continued, ”I don't have a huge bunch of loyal fans like you do. Your army of fans are going to rip me apart.”
