"Ah—ah...help..." Xia Shiwen's sleepiness was instantly dispelled by the scene in front of her.
The burning sparks were reflected in her pupils, and her face was filled with fear.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Jiang Ran's expression instantly turned tense.
"Fire...fire...fire...a huge fire...help!"
What?
Jiang Ran suddenly stood up straight: "Where are you now? Your exact location!"
On the other side, Xia Shiwen was so frightened by the scene before her that she was scared out of her wits and burst into tears.
She was a pampered young lady who had never encountered anything like this before, and she was so frightened that her voice was trembling.
"I...I'm near the film studio...in the detached villa my dad bought for me..."
To make it easier for her to sleep more comfortably while filming, Xia's father specially bought a villa near the film studio for her to live in.
She only came back to stay occasionally, but she never expected a fire to break out suddenly.
"Detailed address!" Jiang Ran asked anxiously, her voice rising in urgency.
"No. xx, xx Road, East District of Film City..."
"I understand. I'll contact the firefighters right away. Now, get up immediately and assess the fire. If you can get out, that's best. If not, go to the bathroom, wet a blanket, and cover your mouth and nose. Someone will come to rescue you soon!"
"Hmm...but...the fire is so big...it looks like it's going to spread to the bedroom..."
"Don't be afraid... just hold on a little longer, someone will come to rescue you soon."
While comforting her over the phone, Jiang Ran picked up another phone and immediately contacted the firefighters.
She then rushed downstairs in a panic and hurriedly went to the scene.
On the phone, Xia Shiwen's voice sounded increasingly frightened.
"Jiang Ran...cough cough cough...so much smoke...I feel...I'm about to die..."
"Nonsense! I'm on my way, I can already see the fire trucks! People are already here to rescue you, just hang in there a little longer! You'll be out soon..."
"But...I...feel so bad...Am I...going to die...?"
"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean by death? Are you really willing to die like this? Have you forgotten Gu Shifan? Don't you want him to know the truth? Don't you like him that much?"
Upon hearing Gu Shifan's name, Xia Shiwen struggled to open her eyelids.
Yes... and Gu Shifan...
He still doesn't know that he was the little girl who saved him back then.
She struggled to lift her head, and what she saw was a fiery red, with scorching heat waves spraying over her, making her feel as if she were about to melt.
She felt like she couldn't breathe; every breath felt like a knife was stabbing her throat.
She turned her head and looked around; all she saw was fire.
Even if firefighters arrive, they may not be able to save you.
Is she... going to die here today?
Xia Shiwen reached out and pinched herself hard, forcing herself to be more alert.
She picked up her phone and hung up the call with Jiang Ran.
Her hands trembled as she found Gu Shifan's number; her pale face was devoid of any color.
If I don't speak up now, I might never have the chance again.
She gritted her teeth and dialed the number.
The call was quickly answered, and Gu Shifan's warm and magnetic voice came through the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yes...cough cough cough...I...Xia...Shiwen..." Xia Shiwen's voice became hoarse due to the burning sensation.
"Your voice? What's wrong?"
"I...I have to tell you...something...If I don't say it today...I'm afraid I won't have the chance again."
Gu Shifan couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong with you?"
"I...I have to tell you...cough cough cough...you...big idiot...you can't even...recognize me...back then...the one who...saves you is...me!"
Gu Shifan, who had been sitting on the sofa, suddenly changed his expression, stood up abruptly, and asked incredulously, "What did you say!"
"You...idiot...cough cough, that pendant was...stole from me by Jiang Xinrou..."
A sudden thought struck Gu Shifan, and he immediately strode out, shouting, "Where are you now?!"
"Cough cough... I'm dying... There's fire all around... After I die... Forget about me... Go find... a girl you like..."
After saying this, Xia Shiwen's exhausted body could no longer support her, and she slid to the floor, her phone falling to the ground.
"Xia Shiwen!" Gu Shifan's face turned terrifying upon hearing this news.
It turns out... he had been mistaking someone for someone else all along!
He knew it all along: how could such a kind little girl grow up to be like Jiang Xinrou!
He believed her completely; no one would tell such a lie on their deathbed.
What she said must be true!
Gu Shifan quickly got into the car, floored the accelerator, and the car sped off.
I absolutely must give him a chance to make it up to her.
He never believed in ghosts or gods, but now... he just wanted to beg God to let her live!
He had just learned that she was the little girl from back then, and now she brought him such devastating news. How could he bear it?
So, whatever you do, don't let anything happen to her!
