Chapter 124 - Sleeping Together Again
The capital was located in the north. At the end of spring, the weather had always changed drastically.
It was just a moment ago that the sky was filled with stars, but now, a strong wind was blowing outside the window.
By the time Xia Wanyuan came out of the bathroom, the wind outside was pounding on the window.
Xia Wanyuan had a small habit. She was a little afraid of the dark, but it didn't mean that she couldn't sleep without someone accompanying her.
The main reason was that the world had not been peaceful in the past. Her younger siblings were still young, so Xia Wanyuan had to be vigilant at night. If there was any movement, she had to be alert.
The hair that had just been washed was wet. Xia Wanyuan wiped it with a towel and blew on the hairdryer for a while. Her hair was already half dry. Just as she was about to change her hand, her vision suddenly darkened and her entire world fell into darkness.
Blackout? Xia Wanyuan was somewhat puzzled. There was actually a blackout in the manor?
"Butler Wang, due to the strong wind, a circuit in the main building has been broken. We have already organized people to repair it. It will return to normal within three minutes."
The main building was where Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan lived. The electrical circuits had actually gone wrong in the main building, and the employees were filled with trepidation.
"Other than the electrical appliances, are the other parts operating normally?" Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang did not blame them.
"Butler Wang, the other parts of the building are operating normally, but the appliances in the main building cannot be restored for the time being."
The electrical circuits in the manor had been designed by experts from all over. In order to ensure safety, there were many routes.
For example, the security and electronics in the building were not using the same circuit. Hence, what had been broken by the wind was only the electronics circuit. It did not have much impact on other parts of the building.
"Xiao Li, fix the circuit. Don't be in a hurry to send the electricity. Young Master and Madam are already asleep at this time. There's no need to disturb them. Restart it tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Butler Wang was an old man in the manor. Although he did not understand why Butler Wang did this, there was nothing wrong with listening to Butler Wang.
Hence, the employees revised the wires and left. The entire main building was still dark.
Xia Wanyuan waited for a while, but there was still no call. She touched her hair. Fortunately, it was almost dry.
The violent wind outside the window had slowly subsided, followed by heavy rain and lightning.
The deafening lightning seemed to split the world into two. The heavy rain kept hitting the window, making a sound as if it was going to break through the window in the next second.
No one knew where the wind blew, but it let out a mournful whimper. In the darkness, those who heard it felt their hearts tremble.
Xia Wanyuan hesitated for three seconds before decisively picking up her phone.
The call was picked up almost instantly.
"Hello."
"Jun Shiling, I'm a little afraid."
"Open the door."
Xia Wanyuan groped for the door under the light of her phone. When she opened the door, Jun Shiling was standing at the door.
"Uncle Wang called. He said that the electrical route for the main building has been cut by the wind and will only recover tomorrow morning." Jun Shiling closed the door and followed Xia Wanyuan into the house.
"Alright, thank goodness I've already taken a shower and dried my hair."
The electricity in the manor had never stopped for more than three minutes, so there were no lighting devices prepared for candles or anything like that. Jun Shiling could only turn on the light of his phone.
"Go to sleep. I'll go over after you sleep." Jun Shiling sat by the bed. "You must be tired after the trip to the mountain today."
"Just sleep here then."
