Hou Chenyi walked up to the door, tried to open it but failed. He let out a sigh. "Did you lock it?"
Song Ge felt a bit embarrassed and nodded.
Hou Chenyi reached into his pocket, took out his phone, but there was no signal.
Only then did Song Ge remember that she also had a phone. She quickly took it out, but there was no signal either.
"How are we going to get out?"
Song Ge cast a somewhat resentful look at the door. It was already night. If she didn't go back soon, Zhai Cheng would surely be worried when he got home and didn't see her.
Hou Chenyi had already sat down on the ground. He glanced at Song Ge. "You might as well sit down and rest for a while." After a pause, "Someone should come to the cold storage later."
Hearing this, Song Ge finally saw a glimmer of hope. "Really?" She sat down beside Hou Chenyi.
"Normally, there should be."
Song Ge nodded. No one said a word. It felt like the cold air around them was getting stronger. She subconsciously rubbed her arms.
The next second, a piece of clothing was draped over Song Ge's shoulders, carrying a nice smell.
Hou Chenyi was only wearing a short - sleeved shirt. Just looking at him made one feel cold.
Song Ge refused. "You should wear it. You'll catch a cold later."
"No need. I'm a man."
Song Ge had no choice but to drape the clothes over herself. Then, she moved a bit closer to Hou Chenyi.
Hou Chenyi was a bit stunned. Looking at the woman who suddenly got closer, his heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.
Song Ge explained, "I'm afraid you're too cold."
Hou Chenyi didn't say a word. He just smiled.
"By the way, my name is Song Ge. What's your name?"
"Hou Chenyi."
Song Ge murmured the name a couple of times. "I'll remember it. We can be considered friends in adversity. Are you a customer here or..."
"A bartender."
Song Ge didn't say anything else and just sat there quietly.
What she didn't know was that Wu Yilan had successfully escaped that person's sight and had already returned home. She called Song Ge, but Song Ge's phone was unreachable. She didn't think much of it. Thinking that Song Ge might have already gone home, she calmly ate the meal cooked by her mother.
After dinner, Wu Yilan thought of Song Ge again and called her once more. Still, no one answered. Her heart started to panic.
Could something have happened?
"Yilan."
"Hey!" Wu Yilan responded and went downstairs. It turned out that her mother asked her to send something to her uncle.
Wu Yilan took the things and forgot all about Song Ge.
Song Ge had started to shiver, but she tried hard to control herself.
"How much longer until someone comes?" Song Ge's voice was trembling. She could feel that her mouth was already numb.
Hou Chenyi turned his head and glanced at her. Then he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Song Ge just struggled a bit when Hou Chenyi said, "I'm just afraid you'll freeze to death here. Don't worry. I'm not interested in you."
Although he said so, his body got a bit warmer.
Song Ge felt the warmth. The body temperature of boys was indeed higher.
The two waited for another half an hour, but still no one came.
Just then, someone outside the cold storage was using a key to unlock the door.
Hearing the sound, Song Ge, who was almost falling asleep, woke up all of a sudden. "Someone's coming! Someone's coming!"
But the next second, the sound stopped, as if it had just been an illusion to Song Ge.
Song Ge struggled to get up from the ground and knocked on the door. "Is there anyone outside? Is there anyone?"
No one responded.
"What should we do?"
Hou Chenyi got up from the ground. "It seems we have to find a way out on our own." He looked at Song Ge. "We have to warm up."
Saying that, he walked up to Song Ge and then pulled her to start running.
The two ran dozens of laps in the cold storage before they felt a bit warmer.
Hou Chenyi turned on all the lights in the cold storage. "Try to see if you can find a signal."
"Okay." Song Ge walked around with her phone, looking for a signal.
Hou Chenyi also walked around with his phone, trying his luck.
Seeing only one bar of signal on her phone, Song Ge happily called Hou Chenyi. "There's a signal! There's a signal here!"
Hearing this, Hou Chenyi walked over. It was a position near the window.
Song Ge had just got excited, but when she looked at her phone again, the only bar of signal was gone. "Why is it gone?"
"I'll lift you up. Try to raise your hand higher and see if you can get a signal."
Hearing that she would be lifted up, Song Ge was a bit hesitant. After all, she had a boyfriend.
Hou Chenyi saw Song Ge's hesitation. "This is the only way now. Do you want us to die here?"
"Of course not. I just..."
Hou Chenyi rubbed his forehead and let out a sigh. "Don't worry. I won't touch you inappropriately."
"I, I didn't mean that." Song Ge looked at the window and finally gave in. "Okay."
Hou Chenyi squatted down a bit, held Song Ge's legs, and then stood up.
Song Ge raised her hand. "No signal."
Hou Chenyi gently moved his position. "Got it?"
"Not yet."
Hou Chenyi moved a bit more.
Song Ge also raised her hand high. Finally, she saw a tiny bit of signal. "Got it! Got it!"
"Then call quickly."
Song Ge quickly found Zhai Cheng's number and dialed it, but there was no response. So, Song Ge had no choice but to call Wu Yilan.
"Hello, Song Ge." Wu Yilan had just returned from her uncle's place. "I called you so many times but you didn't answer. Are you home?"
"No. I'm trapped in the cold storage now. Come and rescue me quickly."
"Ah, okay. I'll come right away. Where are you?"
Song Ge was stunned. Then she asked Hou Chenyi, "Where is this?"
"*Bar."
Song Ge quickly told Wu Yilan and then hung up the phone.
Hou Chenyi didn't put Song Ge down. "Let's stay like this for now. Otherwise, your friend might not be able to find us when she comes."
"Okay. Finally, someone is coming to rescue us."
Wu Yilan immediately took a taxi to the bar. Since she didn't know where the cold storage of the bar was, she had to ask the waiter. But the waiter thought she was joking. "Impossible. Customers are not allowed to enter the cold storage."
"Really. Please believe me."
Because Wu Yilan was making such a fuss, many customers came to watch.
"Just go and take a look. It's no big deal. What if there really is someone in there?" a customer couldn't help but say.
The waiter had no choice but to take Wu Yilan to the cold storage.
The waiter opened the cold storage. Hearing the door open, Song Ge's phone slipped from her hand. Hou Chenyi also lost his grip, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
Someone took out their phone to take a video.
Song Ge didn't care about that. She got up and left with Wu Yilan.
