Chapter 291 Burned to death in the fire, protecting the master year after year

Niannian didn't come out for the whole morning, and Chen Zhichu forgot about it. She forgot to ask Mrs. Zhang or Mrs. Liu to take it away. She wanted to die, but she didn't want Nianan to die with her.

"Niannian, be good..."

The Ragdoll cat was timid and jumped around in fright when it sensed danger. When it heard Shen Zhichu calling its name from behind, it turned its head, its pair of azure cat eyes with dilated pupils. It quickly ran behind Shen Zhichu and timidly shrank its neck to look at the gate.

There was already a raging fire outside, and the door of the room had cracked, letting in smoke. Shen Zhichu's throat became increasingly itchy, and he couldn't help coughing, retching as he coughed, and physiological tears fell from the corners of his red eyes.

Niannian looked at her in a daze, and sensing her pain, it licked Shen Zhichu's fingers, then suddenly rushed towards the door that had begun to crack, stretching out its front paws to scratch the door frantically.

It was obviously so timid, hiding behind her and trembling in fear, but now it rushed towards the shaky door without hesitation, scratching while looking back at Shen Zhichu.

Shen Zhichu's heart tightened, and a pain rose from her heart. She tensed her nerves and her eyes were filled with tears.

Every year he did it to save her.

"Niannian, don't..." Shen Zhichu sniffed, a puff of smoke rushed into his lungs, and he choked out a mouthful of blood.

Niannian ran back to her. It knew that Shen Zhichu's leg was injured, so it didn't dare to jump onto her legs. It could only rub Shen Zhichu's hand to comfort her for a few times, and then ran to the door resolutely, scratching it anxiously and making a shrill cry.

The wooden door creaked and seemed to be about to collapse at any moment. The usually delicate Ragdoll cat was now scratching it desperately, with its claws covered in blood.

"Niannian, come here." Shen Zhichu sat in a wheelchair, unable to move and could only shout weakly. She looked at Niannian's furry body, her vision becoming more and more blurred, tears flowing down uncontrollably, blending with the blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Meow..." Nian Nian suddenly jumped back, and the door fell down with a loud "bang", almost crushing it.

Shen Zhichu's breath turned cold with fright. After the door fell, a circle of fire appeared outside, and the heat wave came over him like an overwhelming force, as if to burn his skin.

Niannian retreated in fear. Cats are naturally afraid of fire and water. It ran towards Shen Zhichu quickly, not bothering to ask for comfort. It bit the blanket on Shen Zhichu's knees, trying to make her follow it out.

Seeing that Chen Zhichu didn't move, Niannian was anxious and turned around in place.

Shen Zhichu reached out and stroked Nian Nian's head, and said softly: "Niannian, go away quickly, don't worry about me."

Looking at Shen Zhichu with a painful expression, Niannian whimpered, turned around and jumped out of the fire circle blocking the door. Just when Shen Zhichu thought it was really obedient and wanted to escape, it jumped back.

It was not as smart as a human, so it could only use its own method to "teach" Shen Zhichu to survive. Its fur was burned by the fire, and the ragdoll cat let out a scream and rolled on the ground in pain.

Shen Zhichu's breath turned cold: "You stupid cat... What are you doing? Why are you so stupid? I want you to leave, don't you understand what I say... Go away... I don't want you to save me, nor do I want you to accompany me..." At the end, she was already slurring her words and choking with sobs.

The beautiful fur that was usually well-groomed was now burnt yellow by the fire. Niannian's ears kept moving and a weak "meow" sound came out of his mouth, as if he was crying and comforting Shen Zhichu.

Shen Zhichu's tears flowed more and more violently. With her crippled legs, it was impossible for her to walk out. She didn't want it to save her in this way! What a stupid cat!

She yelled at Nian Nian, "Nian Nian, get out!"

Niannian didn't listen. It jumped back and forth in the fire three or four times. Its hair was in a mess, its front paws were covered in blood, and its hind feet were also burned by the fire. It limped towards Shen Zhichu and tried its best to raise its neck to bite the bracelet on Shen Zhichu's hand.

It is usually playful and its favorite thing is to bite the decorative lock on Shen Zhichu's bracelet.

Shen Zhichu moved her legs and tried to stand up, but her broken leg bones could not support her body at all. She fell to the ground and tried to crawl forward, but her legs were so painful that she gave up after a few steps.

Niannian paced back and forth in front of her anxiously, licked her cheek with his tongue, opened his mouth to bite her collar, and kicked hard with his hind legs, trying to drag her out, but his body was too small to pull Shen Zhichu at all.

Shen Zhichu looked at Nian Nian's big blue eyes and felt that it was about to cry.

The fire outside the door had already taken over and it was impossible to run out. Shen Zhichu gave up and scratched Nian Nian's chin as usual and laughed at herself.

"You silly cat, I told you to run away but you didn't. Now we are trapped here. Do you want to die with me?" Shen Zhichu's throat had been burned, and it was very difficult for him to speak because of the thick smoke inhaled into his lungs.

Niannian looked towards the fire at the door, its blue cat pupils illuminated by the fire. It turned its head to look at Chen Zhichu and finally gently kissed the corner of her mouth.

It is not a human and does not have an IQ as high as a human. It only knows that the person in front of it is its owner. She took care of it and grew up with it, so it must protect her.

Shen Zhichu looked at its bloody feet. The originally pink pads had become blood marks. How painful it must be...

Shen Zhichu forced herself to stand up, endured the severe pain, knelt on the ground and forcibly straightened her broken leg. She let out a muffled groan, then slowly crawled back to the window.

This place will explode and collapse soon, and she can't let Nian Nian die with her.

Shen Zhichu pushed the wheelchair while crawling. She climbed tremblingly on the backrest and armrests of the chair, stretched her hand upwards, touched the window handle, pressed it down hard, and the window opened a crack, which was just enough for the ragdoll cat to squeeze through.

"Come here soon, Niannian, be good and don't move..." She coaxed it softly.

Niannian tilted its head, hesitated for a moment, then sprained its foot and stepped on the bloody mark. Chen Zhichu carefully picked it up, held its hind legs and lifted it up high.

Her fingers were crippled, and it took all her strength to lift the ten-month-old Ragdoll cat. Her fingers were trembling and her fingertips were in excruciating pain.

When it reached the window, Nian Nian looked outside and suddenly realized something. She let out a "meow" and wanted to turn back, but Chen Zhichu was faster than her. He threw her out with force and slammed the window shut.

"Bang--"

There was a window sill outside and it was on the first floor, so even if he fell down, Nian Nian wouldn't be seriously injured.

Looking at Nian Nian landing safely outside the window, a smile finally appeared on Chen Zhichu's face.

Nian Nian raised its claws and landed on the glass. It scratched the glass frantically, trying to get Chen Zhichu out. The blood on its claws left several glaring blood marks on the glass. The glass could not be scratched, and its claws were bleeding, and the flying flesh could be seen.

After a while, it began to bang its body against the window in an attempt to break the glass.

There was a constant sound of cats meowing outside. Shen Zhichu leaned against the French window and felt the impact behind her. She clenched her trembling hands tightly, lowered her eyes to look at her twisted legs, and smiled palely.

She really didn't expect that at the moment of her death there was a cat accompanying her and trying every means to save her.

Nian Nian knows who raises it, who treats it well, and who is its master, and it must protect its master with its life. Even if its fur is burned, its feet bleed, and it is smashed to pieces, it will still know the truth!

It had no strength left and its head was bleeding. Its eyes were drooping and it was panting. Its body was standing on the windowsill outside, shaky and ready to fall down at any time.

The usually active and beautiful tail was now covered in blood and dust, with the tailbone exposed and hanging limply behind it. It stuck out its tongue and licked the glass, trying to get close to Shen Zhichu as usual.

The person was right in front of it, but it couldn't reach him. Niannian made a painful cat cry and tears filled its blue eyes.

It cried...

“Enough… Nian Nian…” Shen Zhichu didn’t dare to look back, for she was afraid that she would regret it and die.

Shen Zhichu looked at the raging fire opposite with red eyes. The smoke stung her eyes. She refused to close her eyes and used her last bit of strength to crawl on the ground with her hands to pick up the phone on the ground.

She dialed the familiar number, it went through, and the waiting tone began to count down. Would Li Jingshen answer this time? She also wanted to give him this unforgettable engagement gift...

Whether it was the Shen Zhichu who had lost his memory or the Shen Zhichu who had recovered his memory, she could never love him again. Their relationship was the most familiar yet strange relationship in the world, ex-husband and ex-wife.
