Chapter 261 The Pseudo-Student's Black Moonlight Goddess 11

Shen Xinran's heart tightened, because Zhuang Yan's home was across from Old Wu's. She began to look for Zhuang Yan in the crowd, but there were too many people and too many noises to see clearly.

Shen Xinran could only shout: "Zhuang Yan, where are you?"

At the same time, Zhuang Yan was standing in the middle of the living room, with the drunk Zhuang Jiangwei at his feet. The door behind him was open, and flames and thick smoke poured in from the house opposite, ruthlessly eroding the space.

Zhuang Yan knew that if he abandoned Zhuang Jiangwei and left alone, even if Zhuang Jiangwei was not burned to death, he would be choked to death by the smoke.

So, he was struggling and hesitating.

But at this moment, Shen Xinran's shouting came from downstairs. The voice penetrated the thick smoke and startled Zhuang Yan awake.

If he really abandoned Zhuang Jiangwei, how would he face Shen Xinran, how would he face his own conscience? A man who was unwilling to save even his own father, what difference was there between him and a beast?

Shen Xinran looked around downstairs but couldn't find Zhuang Yan. Just as she was about to go upstairs to look for him, she saw Zhuang Yan carrying Zhuang Jiangwei on his back, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

An old woman saw this and sighed, "Zhuang Yan is such a kind-hearted child. His father always beats him, but when he's in danger, he's still reluctant to leave his father. That's why they say blood is thicker than water!"

After hearing the old woman's words, Zhuang Yan's eyes flashed with a complex emotion. Only he knew that he really wanted to throw Zhuang Jiangwei into the sea of ​​fire.

Shen Xinran rushed forward and helped Zhuang Yan downstairs. After helping Zhuang Yan put Zhuang Jiangwei down on the open space downstairs, she asked him, "Are you okay? Why are you coming downstairs now?"

Zhuang Yan looked up, his eyes meeting Shen Xinran's, which were filled with concern. It turned out that there were still people in this world who cared about him!

A strong possessive desire surged in Zhuang Yan's heart. He wanted to tie her tightly in his own world, make her belong to him alone, and not let anyone touch her.

He knew that this thought was selfish and inappropriate.

But he could not suppress this impulse, it was like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart, making him struggle between love and possession.

He thought to himself: Only kind people can be friends with kind people! Therefore, he must be kind. Even if it is just pretending to be kind, isn't it still kindness?

So, Zhuang Yan shook his head and smiled innocently, "It's okay, Dad was drunk, so it took a little effort to carry him down."

When Shen Xinran heard this, he ignored the looks around him and kicked Zhuang Jiangwei in the back. How could there be such a father? Not only did he get drunk, but he also implicated Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan witnessed this scene, his heart pounding in his chest. How could there be such a lovely person in this world? He clenched his fists, trying to control his excitement.

The sirens of fire trucks pierced the night sky as firefighters, from far and near, quickly launched an intense and orderly firefighting operation. After more than two hours of hard work, the fire was finally completely extinguished.

After the flames and smoke dissipated, firefighters conducted a thorough investigation of the scene and ultimately determined that the fire was caused by a short circuit. The wires in this old building had been exposed due to years of disrepair, and a short circuit could easily cause a fire.

Although this is a safety hazard, rewiring is a considerable financial burden for residents living here, so this problem has not been properly resolved.

Fortunately, the fire did not cause any casualties, but the Wu family suffered a huge loss.

Old Wu's children all work away from home, leaving only the two elderly people to rely on each other. They live a frugal life, getting up before dawn every day just to go to the market to pick up leftovers.

Old Wu went upstairs to take a look at his house, which had turned into a ruin. He fainted due to excessive grief. Fortunately, his neighbors were kind-hearted and sent him to the hospital.

Besides the Wu family, the Zhuang and Qiao families across the street were also significantly affected. Their exteriors were blackened by smoke, and the interiors were also filled with traces of the fire.

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Shen Xinran saw a young couple coming to Old Wu's house.

They are Old Wu's son and daughter-in-law. After learning about the fire, they rushed over and took the two elderly people to live in the city where they work.

…

October 8th was a Wednesday. Shen Xinran had just arrived at school when she was stopped by a girl in a short skirt. "Zi Xiao, please lend me your math papers. I still have two to finish."

The girl is Qiao Zixiao's friend, named Feng Qianqian.

Shen Xinran smiled as he took out his math test. He walked into the classroom and saw that most of his classmates were furiously writing. It was common for students to have so much fun during National Day that they had to catch up on their homework after the holiday.

Shen Xinran turned his gaze to Zhuang Yan and asked curiously, "Why aren't you making up your homework? The teacher will be checking it soon."

There was a gentle smile in Zhuang Yan's eyes. "I was going to make up the test paper, but now I don't have to."

Shen Xinran was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and replied, "Because my paper was burned in the fire."

Shen Xinran frowned, "But isn't your test paper in the—" drawer?

Shen Xinran had barely finished speaking when Zhuang Yan took the papers out of the drawer, crumpled them up, and threw them into the trash can. He lazily said, "Well, now they've been burned."

Shen Xinran: “…”

The first class in the morning was math. As soon as the math teacher entered the classroom, he said to the students in a serious tone, "I counted and there are two papers missing. I'm too lazy to check. Stand up now."

Zhuang Yan and Xin Zeming stood up at the same time.

Xin Zeming glanced at Zhuang Yan, then raised his chin with a stubborn expression, as if to say: How dare you stand with him?

The math teacher said sullenly, "Tell me, where is the test paper?"

Zhuang Yan said nonchalantly, "It was burned by fire."

Shen Xinran thought the math teacher would be very angry, but unexpectedly the math teacher nodded and said, "Then sit down."

Xin Zeming, wanting to compete with Zhuang Yan, also said, "Teacher, my paper was burned too."

The math teacher was so angry that he raised his chalk and smashed it on Xin Zeming's head, scolding him, "I told you to read the news more often, but you didn't believe me. Didn't you even know there was a fire in the west of the city during the National Day holiday?"

Xin Zeming covered his head and could only mutter softly, "Then my paper was eaten by a dog, is that okay?"

His words drew a roar from the math teacher, "Then stand outside and come back to class when you find the test paper out of that dog's stomach."

Xin Zeming stood up reluctantly, and before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Zhuang Yan fiercely.

Not only did you take away Zi Xiao's chance to sit at the same table with him, but you also took away the reason he had thought of in advance!

That's really too much! But don't be too proud, Zi Xiao will be his sooner or later!
