The lights in the office suddenly went out, and Nan Qiao panicked, falling into a warm embrace.
Li Yehan held Nan Qiao, his voice soothing, softly whispering, "Don't be afraid."
Nan Qiao indeed feared the darkness because she had been locked in a dark room as a child, and since then, she had been afraid of environments without light.
Because it was summer, the temperature was very high. The air conditioning was on in the office, the curtains were drawn, and the streetlights outside couldn't shine in, making the room dark and chilling.
Nan Qiao clutched Li Yehan's arm. Li Yehan could feel her frantic emotions accompanied by a certain fear.
Li Yehan embraced her, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to draw the curtains. There will be light, and you won't have to fear."
Nan Qiao bit her teeth, trying her best to suppress the fear within her heart, slowly following Li Yehan to the window.
