Nan Shiqing felt a warmth in her heart, and her voice adopted a deliberately soft and cooing tone, "I want to drink porridge."
"Mm, wait for me. I'll go buy it for you."
Nan Shiqing nodded obediently. "Thank you, Siye."
Fu Siye frowned. "Why say that? You rest well first, and I'll be back."
After speaking, Fu Siye left the ward.
However, as soon as he returned after buying the porridge, he encountered Mu Yinyin, who was getting into the same elevator.
Fu Siye's eyes deepened.
Mu Yinyin spotted the porridge in his hand at a glance. Endless sarcasm flashed in her eyes, *tsk...*
Her grandmother had once said that Fu Siye had been rather reclusive since childhood, not associating much with anyone. He hadn't received much motherly care, so he didn't quite understand love or how to care for people. She said he would learn slowly.
At that time, she had naively believed it.
But now...
*Tsk.*
How could he not know how to care for people?
He simply didn't *want* to, feeling that she, in the past, wasn't worthy.
If only she had had this self-awareness earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have endured three years of suffering.
Mu Yinyin ignored him and stood to the side, maintaining a distance between them. She raised her hand to press the floor button.
But before she could press it, a cold male voice suddenly reached her ears.
"Top floor."
Fu Siye assumed Mu Yinyin was going to apologize to Nan Shiqing, so he coldly uttered these two words to her.
Mu Yinyin seemed to be amused to the point of anger. Without giving him a glance, she looked directly at the man this time and scoffed, "Who told you I was going to apologize to Nan Shiqing? Fu Siye, stop being so self-important, alright?"
Was he here to make a joke?
Fu Siye's expression instantly turned extremely grim. He leaned over, his tall frame casting a mountain-like shadow over Mu Yinyin. "Mu Yinyin, do you want me to lay hands on you that badly? Can you be this cheap?"
His dark eyes were filled with deep anger.
She could always stir up his emotions with just a few words. This must be their fated incompatibility!
Mu Yinyin immediately looked at the food in his hand and let out a cold laugh. "You're the cheap one, aren't you? Mr. Fu, who's always so high and mighty, when did you start personally buying food for people? You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the entire elevator suddenly jolted twice! Neither of them could stand steadily and immediately reached for the elevator walls.
"Thump, thump-thump—!"
The elevator seemed to lose gravity and plummeted downwards.
This was bad, the elevator was malfunctioning!
Mu Yinyin's expression changed slightly. Just as she reached out to press every floor button, Fu Siye yanked her into his arms!
He crowded over her, but Mu Yinyin was too lazy to argue with him now. She still strained to press all the floor buttons.
This was the way to survive a rapid descent...
"Hiss—"
The elevator emitted another sound of rapid friction, followed by two violent jolts, and then it stopped moving.
During this process, Mu Yinyin held tightly onto Fu Siye, and Fu Siye held her even tighter.
That sharp and familiar scent made Mu Yinyin's heart tremble slightly. It seemed... they hadn't embraced like this in their three years of marriage...
But in the next moment, she came to her senses, quickly struggled, and pushed him away.
She frowned, her eyes showing impatience. "How unlucky! Fu Siye, are you my bane?"
Nothing good ever happened when she was with Fu Siye. Now, they were trapped in an elevator together. Fortunately, it had stopped moving; otherwise, falling to their deaths would have been so tragic.
And all of this happened because she met Fu Siye!
Seeing the disgust on Mu Yinyin's face, Fu Siye's expression instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Mu Yinyin actually dared to dislike him?!
He rubbed his back molars and said word by word, "Mu Yinyin, who exactly is whose bane?"
Mu Yinyin couldn't be bothered to bicker with him. She pressed the emergency button.
After a while, a deep male voice sounded from within the elevator, "Hello, please, what is the problem?"
"We are from the inpatient department. The elevator has malfunctioned. We don't know which floor we've fallen to right now."
"Okay, please wait. I will contact maintenance and rescue personnel immediately."
Rather than arguing with Fu Siye, it was better to find a way out of here.
Silence fell upon the elevator.
And somehow, the image of Mu Yinyin busily saving that little girl reappeared in his mind.
"Mu Yinyin, you are not a bad person. You are very harsh towards Shiqing," Fu Siye's thin lips slowly parted, and he spoke sternly to Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin looked up at his words.
His dark eyes were fixed on her, very calmly.
Mu Yinyin was amused. "Fu Siye, if you're blind, don't drag me down with you. If you think she's good, then be with her. What does it matter to you whether I'm good or bad?"
Did she need Fu Siye to judge whether she was good or bad?
"Mu Yinyin, in this situation, you still want to speak to me in that tone?" Fu Siye retorted, his brows furrowed deeply.
In that moment of the elevator's rapid descent, his mind had no other thoughts. If they really died in the elevator this time, having her by his side would at least be some company, and the road to the underworld wouldn't be so lonely.
But thinking about it now, it was truly absurd and laughable.
How could he have such a brainless thought?
"Then what tone should I use to speak to you? Or do you have supernatural powers that can help me phase through walls?" As she said this, Mu Yinyin looked at Fu Siye and deliberately put on an expression of delight.
Fu Siye's expression became displeased.
This sharp-tongued woman! It would be a shame if she didn't become a lawyer!
But Mu Yinyin also noticed his expression and then sternly added, "How truly unlucky. I've already severed ties with you in life, and if I were to die with you, it would truly be not worth it!"
It was said that those who live together should also be buried together, but she absolutely did not want to die with Fu Siye.
How unlucky, it would dirty her path to reincarnation!
Seeing Mu Yinyin's disdain, and how far she had taken her words, Fu Siye was also speechless. "Haven't you already contacted the staff? Don't worry, we'll be stuck for a few hours at most."
"A few hours? If I have to spend a few hours here with you, I'd rather you kill me!" Mu Yinyin quickly refuted his words, her face full of disdain for Fu Siye.
"If you dislike me so much, why did you卑鄙无耻 (despicably and shamelessly) marry me back then? And, before the divorce—" Fu Siye gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with a fury that seemed to want to strangle Mu Yinyin.
This damned woman, she was the one who clung to him, and now she was the one who disliked him.
What did she take him for?
Someone she could summon and dismiss at will?
Mu Yinyin suddenly let out a disdainful laugh. "Fu Siye, don't be so narcissistic. I married you back then because I was blind. As for before the divorce, *cough*, that was due to my curiosity. This matter has already passed, but you had to bring it up. Your technique, *tsk tsk tsk*!"
