C259 (2/2)
He took out his key and was about to open the door when the door was opened from the inside.
”Still awake?” Xiang Qicheng was surprised to see her dressed in light pink simple clothes, with her hair tied up casually, and a few strands of hair in front of her forehead. Before he came back, Chu Yu had already fallen asleep, but he did not enter the room tonight.
”Just put the child to sleep. You drank? ” she asked casually, walking in the direction of the living room.
Although she was allergic to alcohol, she was extremely sensitive to the smell of alcohol and tobacco. The moment she opened the door, she smelled the smell of alcohol from Xiang Qicheng's body. However, when he thought about how it was normal for him to go out to meet a client and drink wine, he felt that he had asked too many questions.
”No … I didn't drink …” He didn't know why, but he felt a little nervous when she asked him this question. He was like a kid who was caught in a trap and didn't know what to do. He scolded Li Feiyu in his heart. If he hadn't sent the drunk Li Feiyu back, he wouldn't have come back so late with the smell of alcohol all over his body.
”Have a cup of warm water.” However, Chu Yu felt that his reaction was a little strange, and passed the cup of warm water in his hand to him.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, the living room suddenly became dark. All the lights in the villa were extinguished. She stood there for a long moment before getting used to the darkness. She felt her way to the switch by the wall, but there was no response. ”What happened? Did the power go out?”
”I'll call and ask.” Xiang Qicheng stood at the side and took out his phone, he rested for a while but his eyes were still unable to adapt to the darkness, no matter how he looked at it, it was completely black. Just as he pressed the dial button, a sound came from the top of his head. Before he could react, his body was suddenly pushed away by a force.
”Be careful!” Seeing that the crystal chandelier on the ceiling was about to fall down, Chu Yu pushed Xiang Qicheng fiercely, but he himself was too late, hence he squatted down to protect his body. With a loud sound, the luxurious crystal chandelier smashed down.
Suddenly, the child's cries and the sound of the ambulance outside the villa caused the previously silent night to turn noisy.
”Youzi, Youzi is still in the room …” On the stretcher, Chu Yu pointed weakly at the top of the stairs. She did not have much energy left, and every breath she took brought about a heart-wrenching pain. If she could, she would have fallen asleep just like that.
”Okay, okay. Chuchu, you have to hold on. I will be right down!” Xiang Qicheng went upstairs according to his usual memory in the dark. He rushed into the room and brought down Youzi who was crying on the bed. When he got into the ambulance, the sound of the whistle echoed across the entire street.
”Chuchu, don't sleep. We'll be at the hospital soon.” In the ambulance, Xiang Qicheng nervously held Chu Yu's hand. Looking at Chu Yu's pale face made his heart ache, at the same time, he felt regret. If he reacted faster and protected her under his body, would she not be injured? Although he couldn't see in the dark, it would at least lessen the damage done to her. It was still better than looking at her now.
”Mommy, are you going to die?” Youzi sobbed as she was hugged by Xiang Qicheng. Her hair was a mess, and her crying face was filled with tears.
”Mommy is just tired. Sleep for a while, Youzi has to be obedient. Listen to uncle …” Chu Yu braced himself and looked at Youzi, trying his best to squeeze out a smile from the corner of his mouth. The wounds on her body were numbing and painful, but her head was growing more and more dizzy. If not for Xiang Qicheng and Youzi who were constantly calling her name, she might really have fallen asleep.
