Chapter 22

The lights were soft and bright, the shelves were neat and tidy, and the floor was as smooth as a mirror. Every corner here gave a feeling of simplicity and cleanliness.

Summer Mu stood in the crowd, with bags of lychee in her shopping basket. The newly launched small core lychee was only selling for 9. 9 dollars per kilogram completely equalizes the promotional price of L. Summer Mu decided to buy a bag to taste.

However, looking at the prosperity of the Y faction now, her emotions were a bit complicated. Thinking back to the night when Beck was saved from wounds all over his body, and then thinking about her as a family like L, how could she feel like Mr. Dongguo?

She turned around, thinking she was about to go home. When she arrived at the shelf in the corner, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the wall ahead and opened a door. There were some words written at the entrance: 'Customers stop'.

Summer Mu walked slowly over. At first glance, the ceiling inside was very high, with many shelves standing and filled with various goods. It was the location of a warehouse. There were still people walking inside.

A thought suddenly came to Summer Mu's mind: If she sees that Beck has any large inventory, wouldn't she know where he is going to attack next? But she was just thinking about it and didn't dare to venture inside.

After watching for a while, she was about to leave when she saw two staff members inside come out. One of them was holding a phone in his hand and said, "Okay, we'll be right over."

They had gone far away.

There weren't many people around. Summer Mu stood still for a while, making sure there was no movement in the warehouse. She put the shopping basket on the ground, made a bewildered expression, and swayed it into the warehouse.

Be accomplished. She suppressed her somewhat excited and nervous heartbeat and walked briskly and lightly inside. The lights in the warehouse were a bit dim, and the cement floor was also gray. The sound from outside was a bit distant, and Summer Mu turned around and had already walked to the deepest part of the warehouse, but didn't see anything.

It seemed that Beck did not put the key inventory in this warehouse. She turned around and was about to retreat when suddenly she heard a "clang" sound and the rolling shutter at the door lowered!

Summer Mu was dumbfounded and quickly ran over, patting the door with his hand: "Open the door, open the door! There's still someone inside."

She pounded at a door with her hand, but there was no movement!

She took out her phone, who did she call? Neither of them worked. Whoever came to save her must alert the staff on Y's side. When they found out that she was a L person, wouldn't it be like they can't get away with it?

After pondering for a while, she put down her phone and sat down dejectedly, looking at the tightly sealed scroll door.

Wait a minute. Wait for someone to open the door before sneaking out. At most tomorrow morning, the warehouse door would definitely open.

After about an hour, when it was time for the supermarket to close, there was no sound outside. Summer Mu's phone also ran out of battery, completely cutting off her idea of seeking help. She buried her face in her arms, intending to take a nap. But it's a bit cold here, and as she was groggy and holding each other tightly, suddenly a surge of energy came and she heard faint footsteps behind her.

At this moment, the lights were dim and there was a deathly silence around. The sound of footsteps was no different from the echo of a hole. Summer Mu was so scared that she trembled all over, feeling a chill all over her body. She didn't dare to look back for a moment.

The footsteps were low, light, and neither hurried nor slow. Summer Mu calmed down for a moment and turned her head.

Between the two rows of shelves, a tall and slender man walked over.

Beck.

A suit without buttons, a casual shirt, hands tucked in pockets, and dull, clear eyes.

Looking at her with a hint of amusement.

Summer Mu suddenly understood. This guy locked her in the warehouse!

The two stood a few steps away for a few seconds.

Beck's voice was light and restrained: "Miss Summer Mu, did you have a good time playing here."

Summer Mu cursed in her heart, 'treacherous'! He smiled on his face and said, "It's pretty good. There are so many things to see here, and I'm so happy about it. Mr. Beck, why are you here? Are you here to care for me? Don't worry, I'm doing well here. It's cool, spacious, and comfortable. It's not too dark or stuffy, and I can even make a floor mat. I think it's quite enjoyable."

Beck's eyes flickered with a smile, he glanced at her, and then turned around and said, "Let's go."

Was this going to let her out?

Summer Mu looked at his back and spoke calmly, "Hello, I apologize."

Beck's footsteps paused.

Summer Mu: "You locked me up here for over an hour. Aren't you apologizing?"

He turned his head to look at her and smiled, 'Why apologize for what I want to do?'

Summer Mu stared at him, without any courtesy or cowardice, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes. Beck certainly received this signal completely.

Then he raised his hand and put Summer Mu's shoulder on the shelf behind him.

Summer Mu suddenly widened her eyes and was stunned. He also looked down at her.

In this narrow space, the lights tilted down from the heads of the two people, and each other's faces were tinged with hazy light. The surroundings were very quiet, except for the sound of Summer Mu's own heartbeat. She suddenly smelled the faint scent of soap and tissues on the shelf behind her. In front of him was his tall and thin silhouette, the face of a young man, so close. Those eyes, like icy stones in the water, gazed at her.

"I'm already soft on you, "he said," otherwise you would have been taken to the police station now."

Summer Mu's heart was pounding and her face was also a bit hot from his gaze. She pushed him away.

He turned around and left.

Summer Mu closely followed him.

She only then noticed that a small door had opened in the distant corner of the wall at some point. She had also seen this door before, but it was locked. It seemed that Beck came in from here.

The two of them took a few more steps and suddenly heard laughter faintly coming from outside the door. Summer Mu was stunned, and Beck's footsteps also stopped. She bumped into his back and quickly took a step back to stand firm.

As a result, a loud bang was heard and the small door was closed from outside! With a click, the lock fell.

The faint sound of electric current came from above, and the lights instantly went out.

Summer Mu was stunned, and Beck also stood still. The only thing left in the warehouse was the faint emergency light at the foot of the wall, and everything became elusive.

"Why don't you call and ask someone to open the door? "Said Summer Mu.

Beck remained silent in the darkness for a few seconds and replied, "I didn't bring my phone."

"Fxxx... just in time for the rain, you are. "Summer Mu murmured softly." Then go knock on the door now, knock hard! Let someone come to save us. This is your supermarket."

Unexpectedly, he replied calmly, "I won't go."

"Why?"

"I was seen by my subordinates staying in the warehouse with L's female employees late at night. How can I lead them to exterminate L in the future"

Summer Mu was speechless.

She estimated that the workers outside the door had already walked far and cannot be called back. Her mood was tormented tonight, and in the end, she had to spend the night in this dark warehouse, feeling indescribable sadness in her heart. But seeing the initiator Beck fell into the same fate as himself, her mood inexplicably sour.

"What should we do now? "She asked.

Then she saw Beck bending down and sitting on the ground in a dignified manner, saying, "Wait."

Summer Mu remained silent for a moment, took a few steps back, and found a place to sit down.

Long night.

At first, neither of them spoke. The surroundings were very quiet, with only the sound of clothing and fabric rubbing against each other. Summer Mu hugged his knees and occasionally sneaked glances at him. He appeared calm and composed, with long legs propped up and hands resting on his knees, unable to see his face clearly and unsure of what he was thinking.

"Hello. "Summer Mu said," Do you really enjoy calculating others in the mall?"

He ignored her.

Summer Mu said again, "If you beat L so hard, aren't you afraid that we will risk our lives and counterattack?"

"Go ahead."he said calmly.

Summer Mu hesitated and turned her head, not wanting to talk to this person anymore.

After a while,she heard him ask, "Are you hungry?"

Summer Mu replied irritably, "I'm hungry."

"Be honest when you're hungry. "he said. Summer Mu looked up and saw him get up, walking behind the shelf. After a while, it seemed like he had something in his hand coming back.

"Bad chocolate pie and ham sausage." He threw them over, and Summer Mu took them with a big smile in his heart: he just roast about the things he sold in the supermarket?

The food that wealthy people ddin't like, like him, was a rare delicacy for Summer Mu who had been hungry all night. She quickly finished eating, and after a while, he brought mineral water from somewhere and handed her a bottle.

Summer Mu's throat had been dry for a long time, finally drinking cool water, and her heart warmed slightly.

 ——

The night grew deeper and the air seemed to become colder.

Summer Mu leaned against the shelf, feeling drowsy. It's just that this underground warehouse was really cold. She curled up in a ball, hugging her knees, so cold that she couldn't sleep.

Beck also sat with his hands wrapped around his chest.

"Are you cold? "She asked, her voice finally becoming a bit weak.

He seemed to smile in the darkness, then stood up and walked towards the shelf. Summer Mu heard his steady footsteps and searched among several rows of shelves. After a while, it was as if performing a magic trick, holding a pillow and a sheet.

Summer Mu blurted out, "Are you magician?"

"I'm the one who made your boss have nightmares. What, forgot?"

Summer Mu... didn't argue with him! Looking eagerly at him throwing the pillow and sheets on the ground, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

He sat down again and comfortably draped the bed sheet over himself before answering, "Only this one was found, it's a defective product. Y's bedding has long been sold out."

Summer Mu was speechless.

After a while, he said, 'Come over when it's cold.' Then he closed his eyes, apparently intending to go to sleep.

Summer Mu hesitated in place for a while, took a sniff of his already blocked nose, got up, and walked over to him. Fortunately, the sheets were big enough, so she lifted a corner and sat down half a meter away.

He closed his eyes without moving, as if she didn't exist.

The bedsheet unexpectedly became thick, and due to his body temperature, it became somewhat warm. Summer Mu crawled in, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Goodnight."

"Good night. "his voice came from a very close distance.

——

Summer Mu was awakened by the sudden light.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was that all the lights around were on. Someone opened them. Then she saw the white shirt in front of her nose, the man's chest.

No, to be precise, it was pressed against her face, the man's chest.

The warm breath and steady heartbeat were right in her ear. She looked at the scene in a daze——

The night passed and Beck laid on the ground. She's the same. Her head rested on his chest, while her hands rested on him. And he hugged her waist tightly with one hand. He had messy short hair, his eyes were lightly closed, and he hadn't woken up yet. And the bedsheet had already been kicked aside by the two of them.

Was her sleeping condition too poor, or were both of them too bad?

Summer Mu had never been held by a man like this before, and her face turned red uncontrollably. Her whole body was prickly, and she carefully tried to get up. However, as soon as she moved, Beck's eyes slowly opened.

His eyes were staring closely, sinking like an abyss.

Summer Mu: "…"

But he had already let go of her and stood up. Summer Mu also climbed up with great enthusiasm.

Summer Mu felt a bit uneasy and didn't look at him. She turned to the other side and changed the topic, "Is someone coming?"

"Hmm."

As soon as the words fell, she heard the rolling shutter slowly rising not far away, and there was a faint sound of someone speaking outside the door.

It turned out to be dawn.

Summer Mu lowered her voice and said, "What should we do now?"

"You stay here, I'll go clear the place."

"Oh, good."

Watching him pass over her and walk towards the door. Summer Mu suddenly reached out again and grabbed his arm, saying, "You wouldn't... lock me in again, would you? Being a person can be tricky, but not too tricky."

Beck's eyes finally lit up with a faint smile: "Yes. Wait."

——

After waiting in place for a while, Summer Mu heard no movement at the door. Then Beck's voice came clear: "Summer Mu, come out."

Summer Mu felt relieved and walked out to see Beck standing outside the rolling gate, alone.

Summer Mu's heart skipped a beat as she watched.

Perhaps it's because his shirt was messy and his hair wasn't so neat. He stood there with his pants in his pocket, looking less elite and intimidating, like an ordinary young man.

Perhaps it was because he drove away the employees for her and stayed there waiting for her to leave.

As he passed by, Summer Mu whispered, "Thank you."

"No thanks. If it happens again, I won't let it go. "His voice still had a slight hoarseness after waking up in the morning.

Summer Mu glanced at him and left.
