The mental state is beautiful

With Tan Zhiqing's deliberate approach, Qiu Yingying became familiar with him and their relationship became closer.

The new year soon arrived. While Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer wished each other a happy new year, she finally accepted Tan Zhiqing's confession and the two became boyfriend and girlfriend.

After the Chinese New Year, Qiu Yingying returned to Shanghai from her hometown and started dating Tan Zhiqing, which made Fan Shengmei sigh about her life again.

"Little Earthworm is only in his early twenties, and now he has not only a house and a career, but also love. And I am already 29, and I am still struggling in a shared apartment."

Fan Shengmei collapsed on the bed. The narrow bedroom made her feel upset. Thinking about her disappointing brother at home, she became very annoyed.

At this time, the sound of a door opening was heard outside. Fan Shengmei stood up to check and saw that the person who came was Guan Juer.

"Sister Fan, Happy New Year!" Guan Juer, dressed like a student, greeted shyly.

"Guan Guan, Happy New Year!" Fan Shengmei looked at Guan Juer's young and tender appearance, and suddenly remembered how she looked when she had just graduated, and her heart became even more bitter.

When Fan Shengmei learned that Guan Guan's mother had helped her get an internship at a Fortune 500 company, she felt even more bitter.

Her own parents only knew how to exploit her, trying to find ways to cheat her out of money and deduct money to spend on her brother, but Guan Guan's parents loved her very much.

Fan Shengmei thought of herself as the older sister and could not show her vulnerable side, so she forced herself to smile and continue the conversation, but her heart was already broken.

On the other side, Qiu Yingying and Tan Zhiqing had just finished dinner and were strolling hand in hand by the river.

Rooms 2201 and 2203 have been under renovation recently. Qiu Yingying knows that it won’t be long before Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao will move into the Ode to Joy community.

It just so happened that Tan Zhiqing was going to Kyoto on a business trip later, and Qiu Yingying could take advantage of that time to develop friendship with the sisters on the 22nd floor.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yingying leaned her head on Tan Zhiqing's shoulder.

"Why? Can't bear to leave me?"

"Yes, we've just been together for a short time, and you're going on a business trip."

Such separation is not a big deal at all. It’s just that young lovers who have just fallen in love are inevitably sentimental for a while to express their reluctance to part with each other.

Passersby would occasionally steal a glance at the young couple, then quickly avoid the sour smell of their love.

Around ten o'clock, Qiu Yingying replied to Ode to Joy. She heard no movement in room 2202 and guessed that Fan Shengmei had gone to bed.

So Qiu Yingying went straight back to Room 2204, washed and packed up, read the good night message sent by Tan Zhiqing, and fell asleep.

Not long after, the original plot finally began.

Qiu Yingying heard Qu Xiaoxiao arguing with Fan Shengmei in a sharp voice outside the door, so she quickly opened the door to watch closely.

Sure enough, as Qiu Yingying opened the door, Andy's domineering yet calm response was heard from the corridor outside.

Qu Xiaoxiao first looked at the cool and beautiful Andy, then looked at Qiu Yingying who was obviously laughing at her. She was so angry that she went to the bar with Yao Bin and others.

Qiu Yingying saw Qu Xiaoxiao leave, and went up to greet Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer, "Sister Fan, Guan Guan!"

Before Fan Shengmei and the others could respond, everyone heard Andy closing the door.

The remaining three people stared at each other and shrugged their shoulders. "It seems that the two new neighbors are not simple!"

Fan Shengmei rubbed her lips and motioned Qiu Yingying to look at the surveillance camera at the entrance of Room 2201. Qiu Yingying cooperated and expressed her shock, "Wow! I just noticed it. It seems that our safety can be guaranteed in the future."

"Sister Fan, Guan Guan, let's go in and talk!"

Qiu Yingying has never lived in Room 2202, and is quite curious about what the difference is between this place and the original plot!

After entering, Qiu Yingying quickly looked around and found that the original triple room was now just a double room, and the compartment where Fan Shengmei later lived was now just a small balcony.

If nothing unexpected happens, Room 2202 probably won't become a triple room.

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. Qiu Yingying listened to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer talking about Qu Xiaoxiao's arrogance. Even Guan Juer, who was always the gentlest, showed an angry look. It can be imagined how impolite Qu Xiaoxiao's words were.

Qiu Yingying looked at the two indignant people in front of her and thought that they would be even more shocked when they saw Qu Xiaoxiao's bare judgment of the mistress.

So in the next few days, Qiu Yingying deliberately went out in the afternoon, and rushed to the elevator to go home with Guan Juer when she got off work.

After waiting for several days, Qiu Yingying finally caught up with the key plot.

That day, when Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei, and Guan Juer were chatting while waiting for the elevator, Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly came over in a glamorous manner and said, "I have explosive news to tell you."

Qiu Yingying responded just like in the original plot, "What news?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pulled her sunglasses down, her eyes revealing a gloating look, "Do you remember the woman who called the police that day?"

Fan Shengmei continued, "It's so cool, it's hard not to remember it."

Qu Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction. "I asked my friend to check the person, and the car is indeed not in her name. The owner is a business tycoon. Do you know what is going on here?"

Qiu Yingying knew that Andy was driving a Porsche 911, which was provided by Tan Zongming when she returned to China. However, she couldn't explain how she knew this, so she could only pretend to know nothing. "What's the trick?"

"You don't even know this, are you stupid? Did they give you the car for free? This woman is most likely a mistress, otherwise she wouldn't be so arrogant and dare to call the police?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said this with certainty.

But Qiu Yingying, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer all remained silent. After all, this was just Qu Xiaoxiao's guess and it didn't count at all.

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Andy was inside.

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looked at each other, Fan Shengmei also felt very embarrassed, Qu Xiaoxiao raised her neck somewhat unnaturally and continued to bully Andy with confidence.

"Stop pretending. You heard what I said about you just now, right? You seem quite confident. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think that if someone hides you here, no one will know your background? Do you know Tan Zongming?"

Qiu Yingying felt speechless after hearing this and secretly rolled her eyes. After all, it was weird that Qu Xiaoxiao could talk about others being so righteous and confident.

When Andy heard Tan Zongming's name, he finally responded, "Do you know Lao Tan?"

"I, Qu Xiaoxiao, hate mistresses the most in my life. Weren't you so arrogant when you called the police a few days ago? You pretended to be a social elite, but you were exposed. If it were me, I would feel guilty and I would be in the wrong."

Qu Xiaoxiao continued to make a fuss, but the elevator suddenly broke down and stopped.

Qu Xiaoxiao was already angry that Andy could remain calm even after she pointed her finger at him and scolded him, so she turned around and got angry at the elevator, "What a crappy elevator!"

Fan Shengmei couldn't help herself and retorted, "It's said to be a broken elevator, it's normal for something to go wrong."

Fan Shengmei took out her cell phone from her bag with ease and called the property management without hesitation.

"Property management, I'm Fan Shengmei from 2202. My roommate and I are trapped in the elevator, as are Andy, Qu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Yingying, the three owners of 2201, 2203 and 2204." As she spoke, Fan Shengmei looked at several people one after another.

The property management replied quickly, "OK, please wait patiently, I will contact the elevator maintenance worker to come over immediately."

Guan Juer looked at everyone who had suddenly fallen silent. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, she picked up the convenience bag and said, "I just bought some food. How about we have something delicious?"

Qiu Yingying saw that the others didn't seem to agree, so in order to prevent Guan Juer from being embarrassed, she immediately responded positively, "I think it's okay."

Guan Juer indeed breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bag of potato chips, opened it, and started eating with Qiu Yingying.

There was only the sound of two people chewing potato chips in the elevator. Guan Juer carefully noticed that Andy seemed to be feeling a little unwell, so she carefully handed Andy a cup of yogurt.

Andy waved his hand to refuse, "Thank you, I just want water."

Qu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, thinking that Andy was really pretentious.

Qiu Yingying has the memories of the original owner and knows that Andy has difficulty getting close to others because of his own life experience.

Fan Shengmei observed Andy's expression and said softly, "I bought some water."

Andy shook his head and refused the bottle of mineral water that Fan Shengmei handed over.

Qu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said sarcastically, "I don't want it."

Outside the elevator, property staff were arranging rescue operations.

After inspection, the technicians concluded that "the elevator is stuck between the 16th and 17th floors."

The property management also quickly gave specific suggestions, "So, you property management staff will go and talk to the trapped people first to calm them down. Lao Li, you will lead the electrician team to act as soon as possible to rescue them."

The five people in the elevator didn't know the specific situation outside, so they could only continue waiting.

Because of Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy, the situation between the few people was awkward. After all, they were all in the same space and couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

Qiu Yingying looked at Qu Xiaoxiao's nonchalant appearance, and then looked at Andy's independent attitude, and suddenly felt that today's scene was a bit boring.

In the original plot, Qiu Yingying would try to ease everyone's emotions by telling ghost stories, although it was of no use and even backfired.

But now Qiu Yingying will not come out to play the role of the funny guy anymore, she is a lady now.

Therefore, the elevator was eerily quiet, with only the almost inaudible breathing of a few girls.

No one knew how long it had been, but everyone was becoming more and more uneasy. Fan Shengmei cleared her throat and was about to say something when the elevator suddenly lost power. Then there was a thrilling rapid drop, and everyone couldn't help but scream in fear.

Guan Juer nervously held Qiu Yingying's arm, shaking with fear.

Even though Qiu Yingying knew that today would be a safe day, when she was actually in the situation, she couldn't help but be affected by the tense atmosphere and huddled in a corner of the elevator.

Fan Shengmei immediately started shouting, "Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? Help me!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was the most aggressive. She started knocking on the elevator door right away.

Andy, who had been silent the whole time, quickly stopped her and said, "Don't knock on the elevator door. If you knock on the elevator door like this, the elevator will drop rapidly due to the shock."

As expected of a highly intelligent and extremely calm person, Andy started pressing the buttons for each floor after he finished speaking, and also gave a detailed explanation to everyone.

"We are now on the 16th floor. We must press the button for each floor below us. This way, even if the elevator falls rapidly, it may stop due to emergency braking, and we will have 16 chances to be rescued. Listen to me, there is a lack of oxygen in the elevator, so stop talking, maintain your strength, and breathe steadily. Take off your shoes and bend your legs slightly. Even if the elevator falls rapidly, we can reduce the damage to the human body."

Perhaps Andy's calm attitude and professional actions infected everyone. Several people followed Andy's actions involuntarily, took off their shoes obediently and leaned against a corner of the elevator.

At this time, someone finally spoke to them from outside, and they could hear that the person outside was trying to ease their tension. "Ms. Fan, are you there?"

When Fan Shengmei heard this, she immediately replied, "Yes, we are here."

"Ms. Fan, don't be nervous. The workers have gone to get the motors and equipment. We have to manually turn the car. Once we get it to a position parallel to the floor, we can rescue you. Don't be nervous."

Although Fan Shengmei was nervous, she still pretended to be calm and said, "We are not afraid."

The workers outside began to apply the brakes manually. "Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, resume the brakes."
