When leaving, Gu Zixuan specifically chose a remote elevator in the southeast direction. For more chapters visit novel{f}ire.net
The elevator doors slowly closed.
But at the last moment, a slender hand reached in, gently stopping the door from closing.
When she saw the tall and handsome figure standing outside as the doors reopened, Gu Zixuan was slightly taken aback, "Mr. Feng?"
Feng Chengjin nodded, stepped inside, and leaned calmly against the elevator mirror.
With his hands leisurely tucked in his pockets, he stood in a relaxed posture.
His calm expression didn’t reveal the slightest emotion.
Gu Zixuan glanced at him, nodded, "Thank you then."
The elevator descended slowly.
After a while, Feng Chengjin spoke, "Miss Gu, when you were studying in the United States, what did you usually like to do on weekends?"
"Not much, just going to the library for a while, hiking with friends if there were plans, or accompanying Yu Wei to fashion design classes."
"You didn’t go to church?"
A Christian service? Gu Zixuan was startled for a moment, smiled faintly, and shook her head, "No, I’m an atheist."
"Oh." Feng Chengjin elongated the tone slightly, then, gazing at the constantly changing red numbers, said softly, "Have you heard about the elevator ghost?"
Gu Zixuan was taken aback, quickly turned her head in surprise.
Overhead, the yellow light from the panel cast a mysterious glow on Feng Chengjin’s handsome face, making it alluringly enigmatic.
He didn’t look at her, simply continued in a ghostly tone, "I heard that women usually have heavier yin energy, which attracts ghosts, so Miss Gu should be careful when you’re alone in an elevator, particularly if you notice it stopping frequently or feel inexplicably cold even though you’re dressed warmly, you should find a way to get out quickly, especially if it stops on a floor for too long..."
Beside him, Gu Zixuan silently tugged at the corner of her lips, staring at Feng Chengjin, and instantly understood something!
But, is it really necessary?
Feng Chengjin was exceptionally calm, "... Especially the 18th floor, 14th floor, if you stop on those floors, you need to be extra careful, just in case someone gets on wearing something that conceals their whole body..."
"... " Gu Zixuan took a deep breath, stepping aside, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Feng Chengjin continued, "What you especially need to note is..."
Gu Zixuan couldn’t take it anymore and was very much wanting to say in frustration—Feng Chengjin, you’re so boring!
However, just at this moment, before she could speak, the elevator jolted twice and began to descend rapidly.
In shock, Gu Zixuan let out a small cry and quickly grabbed the handrail.
Feng Chengjin’s eyes also slightly narrowed in surprise, steadying himself.
The elevator dropped a few floors and stopped, seemingly due to an electrical malfunction.
Although the chances were low, it wasn’t surprising to them as both were well-educated.
Coming back to her senses, Gu Zixuan exhaled slightly and prepared to reach out and press the emergency button to report the fault.
But at this moment, Feng Chengjin added, "Could it be a ghost you’re talking to?"
The seriousness in his calm voice made Gu Zixuan want to turn and scold him.
But before she could speak, following his gaze, she saw where he was looking—the floor number—18.
Her heart skipped a beat, and Gu Zixuan’s face paled slightly.
Yet what unsettled her even more happened next; the elevator lights flickered a few times, then went out.
Darkness engulfed them, and feeling the chilling air inside the elevator, when a cold breeze swept through, Gu Zixuan screamed "Ah" and immediately plunged into Feng Chengjin’s arms.
