But for now, the best possible outcome was that after that sudden drop, the elevator actually stopped.
The lights overhead kept flickering, bright then dim, trading places with each other.
Tan Jincheng reached out to steady Yun Chu, helping her brace herself against the elevator wall in a half-squat. At the same time, he slowly stood up as well, then leaned back against the wall in the same posture as Yun Chu. But in the process, he was still very careful to stay close to her, shielding her tightly, and he even… even reached out and grabbed her hand, holding on very hard.
"Don't be scared."
Tan Jincheng glanced at Yun Chu and said quietly. Then he pressed the elevator alarm button with his other hand.
Not long after he pressed it, someone picked up the emergency phone.
"We're stuck in the elevator."
Tan Jincheng only said that one sentence, and on the other end it instantly turned into chaos.
Too lazy to listen to whatever they were saying, Tan Jincheng hung up directly.
