Xinan ducked into the kitchen only to discover that they had run out of coffee beans long ago, so she had no choice but to stick her head out and ask, "We're out of coffee beans, is instant coffee okay?"
"Just give me hot water," he replied.
"Okay."
Xinan took out the clean cups and fetched a cup of hot water for Cheng Yi.
But just as she was about to step out with the water, the house suddenly plunged into darkness.
Xinan was about to see what was going on when she tripped over a package on the floor, her body pitched forward, and she crashed to the ground with a "bang," her head also hitting the sharp corner of a floor tile. The pain made her furrow her eyebrows and, due to inertia, the cup in her hand shattered, spilling hot water all over the floor.
"Ouch, that really hurts!" Xinan exclaimed, holding her forehead.
Cheng Yi, following the sound, came over, "Don't move."
As he spoke, his hand found Xinan's waist, and he gently lifted her and placed her on the sofa.
