"Sister Peach!" As soon as Guan Jiu 'er and Qiu Yingying saw the star fruit, they immediately walked up to it and greeted it.
Although Chu Mo and Peach Yang had only stayed here for a few days, Peach Yang had a very close relationship with them.
Of course, this did not include Andie!
Andie left early and returned late all day, so the star fruit had only met her a few times.
After greeting Qu Xiao Xiao and Fan Shengmei, the elevator continued to rise.
The atmosphere in the elevator was a little heavy.
Just as everyone was at a loss for words, the elevator suddenly stopped. The elevator shook for a moment and then stopped in midair.
"What happened?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked with a flustered expression.
"The elevator must be malfunctioning!" Chu Mo frowned as he scanned the crowd in the elevator.
Chu Mo walked to the front and pressed the emergency call button. Very quickly, the property manager picked up the call.
"Property management? I'm the owner of Block 8, 2204. I'm trapped in the elevator with a group of residents!”
"Alright, please wait patiently for a while. I'll immediately contact the elevator maintenance workers!”The property manager said and hung up the phone.
Chu Mo could not help but feel helpless when he heard the busy tone.
Although he knew that this scene had happened on television before, he did not know the exact day. He did not expect that he and Peach Yang would be so unlucky to encounter each other!
"It's fine. The property management will send someone to repair it soon!”Chu Mo turned around and looked at the group of women who were pale from fright as he spoke softly.
Unexpectedly, just as Chu Mo finished speaking, the elevator stopped once again. After that, it rapidly descended for a distance before stopping again.
"Ah ~~"
The women in the elevator had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that they shouted loudly.
As for Peach Yang, she was lying in Chu Mo's arms with her eyes tightly shut. Her hands were tightly gripping Chu Mo's arms.
"It's okay, everyone. Don't move! Don't let the elevator slide out of control!" Chu Mo patted Peach Yang's back and comforted her softly. Then, he raised his head and spoke to the crowd.
Hearing Chu Mo's words, the group of women nodded their heads nervously. Now that Chu Mo was the only man and in such a dangerous situation, they subconsciously listened to him.
"Um, it should be fine. They will come to save us soon. I bought something. Do you want to eat?”Guan Jiuer looked at the depressing atmosphere in the elevator and suddenly asked.
"Alright, alright. I'm starving!”Hearing Guan Jiu 'er's words, Qiu Yingying, the foodie, was no longer nervous. She took out a few pieces of bread from Guan Jiu' er's bag and started eating.
Looking at Qiu Yingying's thoughtless expression, Chu Mo could not help but smile and shake his head.
"Honey, I…I'm scared!" The star fruit lay in Chu Mo's arms and said with a trembling voice," We…we won't fall down, right?”
"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen!" Chu Mo consoled Peach Yang once again. Then, he quickly pressed all the buttons in the elevator.
"Chu Mo, what are you doing?”Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Mo's actions and could not help but ask curiously.
"The elevator is now on the sixteenth floor. He pressed the button for every floor. This way, even if the elevator is rapidly descending, it might stop because it recovers its brake. In other words, we have sixteen chances of being rescued!”Andie, who had been silent all this while, spoke up.
Hearing Andie's words, Chu Mo nodded and said softly," Alright, now, just wait. The property management should be here soon!”
Sure enough, a woman's voice was heard after a while.
"Mr. Chu, can you hear me?”
Hearing this voice, everyone in the elevator became excited.
"Yes, we can hear you!" Qu Xiaoxiao shouted.
"Mr. Chu, don't worry. The workers have already gone to get the motor and equipment.”The woman outside said again.
Hearing the woman's words, everyone in the elevator heaved a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after a while, the woman outside spoke again," Mr. Chu, our workers are about to start work now. Be careful!"”
"Good!" Chu Mo replied. He then looked at the crowd and said," Alright, now, lean against the wall of the elevator and hold your hands firmly!”Everyone quickly followed Chu Mo's instructions.
Soon, the elevator shook, but this time, it didn't slide down, but up.
A few minutes later, the elevator door was opened by the property management staff. Chu Mo and the rest quickly walked out of the elevator.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Fan Shengmei pulled the property manager and started yelling. Chu Mo looked at the property manager apologizing to Fan Shengmei and shook his head helplessly. He pulled the star fruit and walked into the emergency exit.
After entering the emergency exit, Chu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. It was impossible for him to not be nervous at all. After all, that was the height of the 16th floor. Even if he wanted to save himself, there was nothing he could do.
"Honey, are you okay?" Chu Mo glanced at the star fruit and asked softly.
"I'm fine. It's just a little disgusting!" Peach Yang shook her head and said as she held onto the armrest.
