About an hour passed, and Tang Yuxiu thought it was about time to check on the porridge in the kitchen.
The rice cooker was already showing "keep warm," and Tang Yuxiu felt quite satisfied.
He thought to himself, cooking porridge isn’t that difficult, after all.
However, when he lifted the lid, a gust of steam hit his face, and the water with the overcooked rice instantly overflowed. Then, the rice cooker’s indicator light flashed a few times and suddenly went out. After that, the sound from the TV in the living room also disappeared.
Ultimately, the lights in the entire villa went out.
Young Master Tang, "..."
The porridge in the pot didn’t resemble porridge at all and, on top of that, it caused a short circuit in the villa’s wiring!
This kind of thing was truly the greatest humiliation in Young Master Tang’s life!
Upstairs, Gu Yan was zoning out when the lights in the bedroom suddenly went out, startling her.
The sky outside had already darkened, and without indoor lighting, Gu Yan couldn’t see things very clearly.
She found her phone and turned on the flashlight function, planning to go downstairs and take a look.
The villa was very quiet and dark, and she could only see the small area illuminated by her phone.
In such a large place, a sudden power outage was quite scary. Moreover, the villa was in a sparsely populated area, so if something happened, even screaming would be futile.
She went downstairs, but didn’t see Tang Yuxiu in the living room. She couldn’t help but swallow; where had he gone?
There was no sound, no people; in the dark, powerless villa, she inexplicably felt a little cold.
"Tang, Tang Yuxiu, are you here?" she called out. After waiting a while, she didn’t hear Tang Yuxiu’s voice from anywhere.
Was he really not here?
Gu Yan felt increasingly scared. Did he leave because he saw how much she rejected him before, and his pride couldn’t take it?
Gu Yan wanted to cry. If she had known it would turn out , she wouldn’t have been so guarded against him.
After all, he hadn’t managed to do anything to her. Without Tang Yuxiu in times like these, what was she supposed to do alone?
In times of trouble, she thought of Tang Yuxiu. In times of peace, she was also rejecting Tang Yuxiu.
Suddenly, she felt Young Master Tang was a bit pitiful.
Gu Yan even showed a bit of embarrassment at this moment.
"Tang Yuxiu, are you here or not?" Gu Yan raised her voice, which echoed through the villa, sounding empty and distant.
Gu Yan couldn’t help but shiver, listening to her own voice, feeling completely unsettled.
Damn Tang Yuxiu, clearly he was in the wrong, and yet he wouldn’t even let her have a little tantrum. Why did he have to act so petty and run away from home?
Meanwhile, in some dark corner, Young Master Tang suddenly sneezed.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Gu Yan’s scream echoed in the villa, causing Tang Yuxiu’s hand to shake and his heart to tighten. He jumped down from a rock, discarded his wrench and tool wherever, and ran into the villa.
"Gu Yan!" He groped in the dark, searching for Gu Yan’s figure, but the villa was too dark, without a bit of light, making it impossible to see anything.
Suddenly, he seemed to step on something, followed by a scream.
"Tang Yuxiu, are you crazy? Can’t you see a big person like me here? Why do you have to step on my hand? It hurts!" Gu Yan cursed aloud, having long forgotten how resistant she was to Tang Yuxiu before, or that they were having a fight.
Young Master Tang was taken aback. He hurriedly moved his foot away and, looking down, he could vaguely make out Gu Yan’s silhouette.
