Peninsula: Starting with the nation's first love, the white moonlight

The elevator was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and it was eerily quiet.

A few seconds later, the silence was shattered by the girl's cries.

"Help...help me!"

"Is anyone there? Help!"

"Waaaaah..."

The girl seemed to have completely broken down, crying and screaming, and constantly pounding on the elevator wall with her hands.

In fact, Li Luran was in no better shape; his heart was pounding and cold sweat was pouring down his back.

Perhaps he had a similar experience before; he closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down.

"Don't waste your energy, calm down. What we need to do now is wait for rescue and try to hold on..."

Before Li Luran could finish speaking, the elevator shook again.

The girl's crying paused for a moment, but then fear overwhelmed her again, and her cries grew louder, accompanied by more rapid breathing.

Li Luran knew she couldn't wait any longer; if she continued like this, she probably wouldn't be able to breathe.

He walked towards the girl, speaking to guide her as he went:

"Calm down, we'll be alright."

"Think of your parents and family; they are all waiting for you to come home."

Li Luran slowly began to adjust to the darkness, and he grabbed the girl's arm.

Her hands were very thin and cold, covered in cold sweat.

"Let me go! Ah!" The girl struggled desperately, completely ignoring what Li Luran was saying.

"Calm down!" Li Luran forcefully pressed down on her shoulders, preventing her from moving any further.

The elevator was already shaky, and if the girl continued to move around like that, the two of them might fall to their deaths before they could be rescued.

"Don't panic, we'll definitely be saved. Take a deep breath with me."

Li Luran's voice gradually softened, but he continued to try to guide the girl.

The girl was still trembling, but in the darkness and fear, Li Luran's calm voice became the only lifeline she could grasp.

"Inhale...exhale..."

"Don't rush, take your time."

Li Luran was very patient.

A minute later, the girl's breathing became less rapid.

She tried to follow Li Luran's rhythm and adjust her breathing.

"call……"

Just as her emotions had calmed down a little,

With a creak, the elevator tilted downwards again!

The girl's last line of defense collapsed completely, and she suddenly threw herself into Li Luran's arms.

She clung tightly to Li Luran's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, are we going to die? I don't want to die..."

The girl's English wasn't very good, and it was mixed with Korean that Li Luran couldn't understand, but he could still understand the gist of it.

"I have an interview today, it's for the female lead in a TV series..."

"I haven't earned much money yet, and I haven't been able to buy my parents a bigger house..."

"I've only just debuted, I don't want to die here..."

"Waaaaah!"

The girl's snot and tears smeared all over Li Luran, but instead of pushing her away, he gently patted her back.

Turns out she's a newcomer, no wonder she was so nervous earlier, she must have had some important interview.

However, none of that matters anymore. In this shaky elevator, neither of them knows what will happen next.

When faced with death, everything is as fragile as a piece of paper, and Li Luran is no exception.

After a while, the girl's crying subsided, and Li Luran finally spoke:

"Are you feeling better? How about we chat for a bit?"

The girl sobbed in Li Luran's arms, not saying a word, but only slightly raising her head and softly murmuring a sentence.

"Um."

Seeing that her emotions had finally stabilized, Li Luran also started chatting:

"Normally, this would be a very boring question. But if I really died here today..." Li Luran paused, then asked, "What would be your biggest regret in life?"

The girl was stunned. She was only 18 years old, a time when she was full of dreams for life, and she had never thought about such a question.

"Regret?" she repeated softly.

"Yes, that's the biggest regret."

The girl sniffed and thought about it seriously.

"I haven't had a proper rest. I've been practicing and rushing to meet people every day."

"Also, I've never won a grand prize."

"There are still so many things I haven't done."

The girl was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "And you? What's your regret?"

Li Luran chuckled self-deprecatingly, but deep down he was also asking himself questions.

Having lived for eighteen years, I have enjoyed the glory of being in the spotlight, and I have also experienced the most ordinary life.

He achieved what others struggle for their entire lives when he was very young.

They seem to have everything, but they don't seem to be happy.

"If I had to say what I regret," he looked down at the girl in his arms, "as a son, I didn't take good care of my parents, and as for myself, it's probably that I didn't have the chance to have a passionate romance."

The girl's eyes lit up. What teenager doesn't yearn for a passionate romance? She was no exception.

"Bang!"

The elevator shook a few more times; the countdown to death seemed to be nearing its end.

Li Luran suddenly reached out and accurately cupped the girl's cheeks.

Her face was wet, seemingly from a girl's tears.

"If you say something like that to a girl you've just met, she'll definitely be seen as a pervert."

Li Luran's voice became somewhat hoarse, yet carried a strong sense of aggression.

"But now we're all about to die."

He lowered his head, bringing his face close to hers, their breaths almost mingling together.

Do you want to make up for this regret?

"Be my girlfriend for one minute."

The girl was completely stunned; her mind went blank.

Before her lay fear, despair, and the intense hormonal aura emanating from the man.

All her emotions intertwined, and the last shred of reason in her mind vanished.

Faced with an abyss, people will instinctively want to grab onto something.

Even if it's false warmth, even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame.

next second.

The girl suddenly stood on tiptoe.

He wrapped his arms around Li Luran's neck, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips to hers.

Li Luran's mind went blank the moment the girl kissed him.

All he could think about was holding her and responding to her!

Their lips intertwined; the kiss was passionate, rough, and unreserved.

Inside the rickety elevator, the two embraced tightly.

I don't know how long the kiss lasted.

So long that the two of them could hardly breathe, so long that they almost forgot the fear of death.

The girl suddenly pushed Li Luran away forcefully.

She gasped for breath, then frantically rummaged in her pockets.

She took out her phone and turned on the screen.

Using the faint light from her phone screen, she was finally able to see the man's face clearly.

He was sunny and handsome, much more so than most male celebrities she had ever seen.

At that moment, the man still had a slight smile on his lips, and the girl's face flushed red instantly, even her ears were burning.

Then, she suddenly remembered something and stammered:

"Electricity, telephone...your telephone..."

She glanced at her phone; the top left corner of the screen displayed "No Service."

Li Luran didn't ask any further questions, and took out his phone to hand it over.

The girl snatched the phone away. The screen was in Chinese, which she couldn't understand, but she quickly pressed a string of numbers on the keypad and dialed.

"Beep beep beep".

There was still no signal, and the call ended automatically.

Suddenly, a loud crash came from above, followed by a beam of light shining in.

"Suzy! Suzy, are you in there?!"

A man's anxious shouts came from outside.

"Yes! I'm here!" The girl seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly looked up and shouted for help.

At this moment, the elevator door was forcibly pried open by people outside using several crowbars.

"Quick! Pull her up! Be careful!"

Ten minutes later, the girl was pulled out.

Li Luran stood still, the glaring light causing him to squint slightly.

He vaguely saw a middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses talking to a girl, surrounded by security personnel from the TV station and maintenance workers in uniform.

She was saved.

However, in public, surrounded by people, and unable to communicate with them, the situation was quite different.

The girl couldn't say a word, or rather, she simply didn't know how to start a conversation with that man.

The agent kept bowing and thanking her, then pulled her quickly outside.

Before leaving, the girl turned around.

She stepped through the crowd and stared at Li Luran, who was still trapped inside.

Judging from the shape of his mouth, he seems to be saying thank you.

The rescue ladder was lowered, and Li Luran climbed out. By this time, most of the people in the corridor had already left.

He dusted off his clothes and picked up his phone.

The first line of the call log shows an unknown number.

Li Luran smiled slightly and put his phone back in his pocket.

Despite some hiccups, this trip to the peninsula didn't seem too boring.
