As he put away his clothes on the balcony and listened to Youzi singing her nursery songs in a clear and melodious voice, Chu Yu had a faint smile on his face.
This was the most relaxed moment of her day. No matter how tired she felt when facing Youzi, it would all be swept away. If one had to ask what the only joy that Xiang Qicheng brought her was when she met him, it would be Youzi. Fortunately, with Youzi, she had more strength to walk out of the shadow of her memories. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have the courage to continue walking forward.
Suddenly, the scene in front of his eyes turned dark, and his surroundings instantly sank into silence.
”Mommy …” ”I can't see you anymore …” In the living room, Youzi's singing abruptly stopped. The originally bright living room turned pitch black, and she could no longer see anything. The little guy started crying out loudly in fear.
”Darling be good, don't move. Mommy will be here soon.” Chu Yu put down the clothes in her hands and quickly entered the living room. Because there were no lights to see clearly, her knees directly hit the table's corner. She walked over to Youzi with great pain before she could relax. It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the dark.
From the looks of it, the power had been cut off. However, the strange thing was that the lights were still on in the houses across from them. Why was there no electricity here? He led Youzi around to the back of the gate and lifted the lid. He shone the flashlight on it, but found that there was no skipping.
He waited for a long time, but still didn't call. Chu Yu felt that waiting for a long time was not an option, she took out her phone and pressed a number. This was the first time that she took the initiative to call him.
”Chu Yu?” Xiang Qicheng's voice was a little hoarse, but it was a little surprised. He didn't think that Chu Yu would take the initiative to call him.
”There's no electricity here. Can you help me contact the landlord? ”Youzi is afraid of the dark.” When Zuo Lin had brought her and Youzi back from the airport, he had only given her a bunch of keys in the apartment. He didn't give her the landlady's number, so she could only contact Xiang Qicheng.
Since Youzi was a child, she had always been afraid of the dark. When she woke up in the middle of the night and faced the dark room, she would always cry, so she always turned on the night-light at home afterwards. She was worried that Youzi would be scared.
”Alright, I'll give you a call and ask.” The person on the other end of the line pondered for a moment before replying.
After a while, the call came back, and when she answered, Xiang Qicheng's voice sounded a little anxious: ”Chu Yu, the landlord said that there might be a problem with the electrical circuit over there, and could only find someone to fix it tomorrow. How about you pack up and come over to my place with Youzi.”
After hesitating for a while, Chu Yu agreed. After all, there was no other way around it. Youzi would definitely not be able to sleep in the dark, and she wouldn't have the heart to let Youzi stay in a place without any light.
He went into the room to pack up his clothes and toiletries with Youzi. Right after packing up, Xiang Qicheng called. Hugging Youzi, he went downstairs. As soon as he walked out of the entrance of the residential complex, he saw the pitch-black Maybach parked by the roadside.
”Uncle, uncle, you're here to save us!” After leaving the pitch-black apartment, Youzi's originally somewhat fearful mood instantly became excited upon seeing Xiang Qicheng. Although the child was young, his memory was excellent. He recognized Xiang Qicheng's car from a distance, and happily shouted as he clapped. The funny words made Xiang Qicheng start laughing. Her eyes revealed a pampering look as she looked at Youzi. It turned out that when children get along with each other, they weren't as annoying as she thought.
