Chapter 573 Power outage
The lights in the city gradually lit up. Jiang Ning sat alone on the sofa in the living room, feeling a little uneasy.
She knew that Gu Yuan's company had encountered some difficult problems today, and his phone had not been connected, which made her worries even heavier.
The clock on the wall ticked, and every second seemed to be taking longer.
Jiang Ning walked to the window from time to time and looked out through the gap in the curtains, hoping to see Gu Yuan's familiar figure appear at the corner of the street.
Her heart was filled with concern for Gu Yuan and anxiety about the unknown situation.
In order to relieve the tension, Jiang Ning turned on the TV and tried to distract himself with the program on the screen.
However, no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts always drifted towards Gu Yuan involuntarily.
She knew that Gu Yuan was a capable person who could handle problems, but she also knew that anyone might need support and encouragement when facing difficulties at work.
It was late at night, with stars sparsely dotted on the curtain of the sky. Jiang Ning was alone at home, feeling a little uneasy.
Gu Yuan was late for return due to an emergency at work, leaving her alone waiting in the quiet room.
Her eyes kept looking at the wall clock, and every move of the hands seemed to remind her of the passage of time.
At this moment, the lights in the house went out without warning, and the whole room fell into darkness.
Jiang Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and she instinctively grabbed the armrest of the sofa, trying to find a little sense of security in this sudden darkness.
The fact that there was no advance notice of the power outage made her feel even more uneasy.
"Gu Yuan..."
Jiang Ning whispered softly, hoping that he could appear at this moment and bring her comfort.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. In the darkness, she fumbled for her phone and turned on the screen, a faint light illuminating the space around her.
She remembered that there was a spare small flashlight at home, so she stood up carefully and, relying on the dim light from her cell phone, walked step by step towards the drawer where the sundries were stored.
After some searching, Jiang Ning finally found the flashlight. She pressed the switch and a bright beam of light penetrated the darkness, giving her some comfort.
She checked the power box with a flashlight and found that there was no problem with the circuit in her home, but that the entire community was out of power.
Jiang Ning decided to call the property management to inquire about the situation. At the same time, he also sent a message to Gu Yuan, telling him about the power outage at home and asking when he could come back.
While waiting for a reply, Jiang Ning lit a few candles and placed them in various corners of the living room.
With the loss of electricity, the usual pace of modern life came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a quiet darkness and sudden silence.
Inside the house, the originally bright chandeliers, wall lamps and table lamps had all lost their luster, leaving only the moonlight and starlight outside the window shining on the floor, creating mottled light and shadows.
Under the moonlight, the outlines of the furniture and decorations became blurred and soft, as if they were endowed with an ancient and mysterious temperament.
The air was filled with a faint candle scent, which came from the candles lit by Jiang Ning.
The candlelight danced in the room, bringing a warm yellow glow to the dark space.
The candlelight cast swaying shadows on the wall, and as the breeze blew, the shadows danced with them, adding a touch of elegance.
The refrigerator in the kitchen stopped humming.
The digital displays of the microwave and oven have also lost their former brightness, and everything has returned to its most primitive state.
The flickering candlelight added a touch of warmth and tranquility to this originally deserted space.
She sat on the sofa, holding her cell phone in her hand, glancing towards the door from time to time, looking forward to Gu Yuan's return.
Time passed by minute by minute,
Jiang Ning began to pace back and forth in the room.
But she walked lightly, fearing to wake up her family members who were already asleep.
She kept imagining various possible situations in her mind, and at the same time she was silently praying that Gu Yuan could solve all the problems safely.
Finally, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by the sound of a key turning in the lock.
Jiang Ning almost ran towards the door, and the moment the door opened, she saw Gu Yuan's tired but comforting smile.
"sorry that I had you worried."
The first words Gu Yuan said after entering the room were apology.
He stood at the door, still feeling a little cold from outside, but his eyes were full of guilt and self-blame towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning shook his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"As long as you come back safely."
Her voice trembled a little, as if she was trying to suppress her inner excitement.
Gu Yuan walked quickly to Jiang Ning and hugged her tightly in his arms.
The two people's heartbeats were synchronized at this moment, as if silently expressing their dependence and support on each other.
Jiang Ning gently pushed Gu Yuan away and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
"Is the matter resolved?"
Jiang Ning asked with concern, staring into Gu Yuan's eyes, as if trying to see the truth of the matter through him.
Gu Yuan nodded, his tone firm and steady:
"Well, it's solved. It just might require more effort in the future."
His brows were slightly furrowed, apparently thinking about the difficulties he might face in the future.
Jiang Ning held Gu Yuan's hand tightly and gave him strength:
"It doesn't matter, we will face it together."
Her eyes were firm and gentle, giving Gu Yuan endless courage.
Gu Yuan looked at Jiang Ning, his heart filled with emotion.
He knew that he was extremely lucky to have such a strong and courageous wife.
"Thank you for always supporting me."
His voice was low and sincere, expressing his gratitude to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly.
"Why thank you? We are husband and wife, so of course we have to support each other."
Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, brightening up the whole room.
Just then, the electricity came back on and the room was instantly lit up.
The light illuminates their faces and the path they walk together.
Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan smiled at each other. The road ahead is still long. They will go through every dark moment together and welcome the light that belongs to them.
In a world full of uncertainty, they know that as long as they have each other by their side, no difficulty is insurmountable.
With Gu Yuan's return, the atmosphere at home instantly became warm and peaceful.
Although the outside world may be full of challenges and uncertainties, they know that as long as they work together, they can get through any storm together.
