The two arrived at the exhibition hall, and Lin Xiaoman suggested taking the elevator. Ji Zhixian didn’t suspect anything, and they got in together. Lin Xiaoman counted the time, and three seconds later, the elevator suddenly jolted and stopped with a “ding”.
“What’s going on?” Lin Xiaoman feigned surprise.
Ji Zhixian furrowed his brow, barely keeping his voice steady: “Press the red emergency button.”
Lin Xiaoman obediently pressed the button, receiving no response. She looked at Ji Zhixian disappointedly: “Seems like it didn’t work.”
“Don’t worry, there are still people in the amusement park who will notice us,” Ji Zhixian tried not to show any abnormality, lowering his voice to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid.”
His face was pale, clearly very uncomfortable, yet he still wanted to comfort her. Lin Xiaoman couldn’t bear to look at him and turned away.
The elevator fell silent.
Fear swept over him like a tide. Ji Zhixian began to feel dizzy but still tried hard to appear normal.
“Are you okay?”
Lin Xiaoman couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m fine,” Ji Zhixian straightened his body, but his body was uncontrollably going soft and about to collapse. He gripped the railing, his veins showing, and on this cool night, his forehead was covered in sweat.
“You seem to be breaking out in a cold sweat,” Lin Xiaoman’s voice was not very steady. Ji Zhixian’s appearance frightened her. She was starting to regret this plan.
“It’s nothing, I’m fine,” Ji Zhixian’s vision began to darken, breathing becoming difficult, the person in front of him blurring, “…just a little uncomfortable. If I pass out, don’t be scared, it’s just a normal reaction.”
“What normal reaction? You’re not allowed to faint!” Lin Xiaoman began to panic. She had only wanted to make him uncomfortable for a while, but hadn’t expected such a severe reaction. “I’ll call for help, we’ll get out immediately.”
She took out her phone, but there was no signal at all, and she couldn’t make any calls. Damn it!
“I won’t faint,” Ji Zhixian, seeing her panic, softly comforted her, “Don’t worry, don’t be afraid.”
His hand was still trembling, his complexion worse. Lin Xiaoman felt his words had no persuasive power. She walked to the camera, desperately waving at it.
