The elevator suddenly began to plummet.
Initially thinking the elevator had merely malfunctioned, Shi Che had not expected it to suddenly fall. Almost without thinking, he had lunged toward Ling Chuxia, embraced her, and crouched with her in the corner, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other grabbing the elevator's handrail.
The elevator's speed was extremely fast, dropping several floors in an instant. Due to the loss of gravity, it felt like free falling, as if jumping from a high building. Although Shi Che had quickly crouched down with Ling Chuxia in the emergency, the high number of floors made the fall feel as if they had harshly crashed to the ground, violently shaking them both.
Because Shi Che had held Ling Chuxia in front of him, his strength continuously supported her. When they fell, there was a cushion, so her body was only slightly shaken and wasn't severely hurt.
But the sudden scare had stunned her, and it took her a long while to regain her senses.
