2785 Chapter 2785-yes, we have to go back
The Secretary nodded."Yes ... I won't say anything, but I'm telling the truth. Even if you want to work overtime, I'll accept it. But you really can't go home like this today. It's too dark, and many of the street lights aren't even lit. It's a few times more dangerous for you to go home like this than during the day. I can't let you take such a risk."
The Secretary blocked Xia Anlan's way and refused to let him go.
"Go and find me a small motorboat. I'll take the boat back."
"Ah? Do you really have to go back?"
"Yes, we have to go back."
"Mayor, you can't be so willful."
"Go and prepare."
Seeing that nothing he said would work, the Secretary had no choice but to turn around and arrange for a motorboat. He also felt very desperate. His master was too willful.
……
Su ningmei was lying on the sofa in the living room. She had been waiting for Xia Anlan, but he had not returned. She had fallen asleep with the remote control in her hand.
A loud bang outside woke su ningmei up.
She opened her eyes abruptly and sat up on the sofa.
She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses.
Su ningmei rubbed her eyes. 'How did I fall asleep?' she looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already 11 O' clock. Xia Anlan was still not back at this time.
Su ningmei was a little worried, but at the same time, she was also disappointed.
He had promised to have hotpot with them when he came back, but he had not come back yet.
It was already this late. It seemed that he would definitely not come back.
Su ningmei looked at the ingredients she had prepared on the table and sighed. Forget it, he must be really busy. He was busy with big things, so she shouldn't talk about these things at this time.
Although she understood and could understand him, she still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
She was preparing to put away all the ingredients on the table. Xia Anlan would most likely not be able to come back tonight. These things could not be left here for the whole night.
Just as he picked up a plate, the room suddenly fell into darkness, and all the lights in the room went out.
Su ningmei was stunned. No way, a power outage?
It was raining and windy, so a power outage was indeed normal, but ... Why did it have to happen at this time?
Su ningmei swallowed and put the plate down.
Before Xia Anlan left in the morning, he told her that there were spare candles and flashlights in the drawer under the television. Her hands fumbled around in the dark as she slowly walked towards the television.
Su ningmei was a little regretful. She should have taken out the flashlight and candles earlier.
This wasn't her home and she wasn't familiar with the place. She knew where the TV was, but in this pitch-black environment, her sense of direction might be wrong.
Su ningmei moved slowly step by step and bumped into it a few times. After looking for a while, she still couldn't find where the TV was. Su ningmei was anxious. She was actually quite afraid of the dark, especially on such a night. When the power suddenly ran out, she couldn't see anything. The sound of rain and thunder outside stopped in her ears at this moment, and it was particularly scary.
Su ningmei's heartbeat was extremely fast. When she couldn't see, her ears were extremely sharp, and all the sounds were amplified.
She bit her lip. 'It'll be fine. Don't be afraid. Perhaps...Xia Anlan will be back soon.'

A notice should be good news. Every day, there would be girls in the comment section asking for updates. It would probably be next week, and there might be one.
I have to save a lot of chapters in advance if I want to upload more chapters. I'm not fast to begin with, and I have to practice driving every day. So from today on, I'll reduce the number of updates to four a day. I'll stop the two chapters I uploaded during the day. When I upload more chapters, I'll make up for it double.
Good night!
