People escaped from the hotel one after another. The fire was very big. Many people who came out late were burned on their hands or feet.
Su Zhiyuan handed his brother to the bodyguard who also escaped. He called to send someone over.
Su Ci felt stiff and cold all over. She couldn't hear what her brother was saying, nor could she hear little Su Ning crying for her mother, and even less could she hear the wailing of the injured around her.
She remembered the day she died. Seeing the indifference of the people around her, her body didn't feel so cold.
Su Ci's eyes were fixed on the fire bursting out of the window and the fire spreading bigger and bigger in the hotel.
Lu Zhe was also inside, and he went in to find her.
Su Ci recalled that last night on the phone, Lu Zhe asked her where the banquet was held, and she told him casually without thinking much.
It turned out that he was in City B yesterday.
Boss Fang looked at the fierce fire, his eyes were red, and his forehead was full of sweat from the surrounding heat. He choked up and said, "I should have stopped Xiao Zhe from going in."
They were obviously happy to come to City B and prepare to find a place to open a company, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Lu Zhe fell into the sea of fire and was still alive.
He glanced at Su Ci, only to see the little girl standing there in a daze. Her usually fair face looked particularly pale in the light of the fire.
I don't know where He Ermeng found a clean towel. He poured pure water on the towel and said, "Ci Ci, your face and hands are dirty. Let me wipe them for you."
Compared with the others, He Ermeng was clean and fresh, which made him more conspicuous in the crowd.
As he spoke, he reached out with a towel to wipe the dust off Su Ci's face.
Su Ci turned her head away and avoided his hand. "Don't worry about it."
"Ci Ci, the firefighters will be here soon. Uncle Su and Aunt Su will be fine." He Ermeng knew that the girl was upset. He comforted her in a deep voice, and there was no smile on his handsome face.
Su Ci ignored him.
Her rationality returned a little, and she called out Fugui, "Lu Zhe still has more than three years of life left. Does that mean he won't die now?"
Normally, she wouldn't ask Fugui such a low-level question, but now she urgently needs a positive answer.
Fugui: [Master, Lu Zhe has more than three years of life left, which means he won't die until three years later.]
Hearing this, Su Ci felt her numb body gradually regain consciousness. She didn't dare to ask Fugui whether Su's father and mother had died in there.
Every time she rescued people before, she was successful, so Su Ci thought there would be no problem this time, and thought she could successfully rescue Su's father and mother.
However, she overestimated her ability.
Su Ci's lips were almost pursed into a straight line, with a pale tinge.
She regretted that she was too concerned just now. Su Ci felt that she should have taken Su's father and mother away forcefully.
The surroundings were in chaos.
Firefighters and ambulances arrived one after another.
He Ermeng wanted to protect Su Ci and move away from them. He was worried that other people would touch Su Ci.
However, the girl was very stubborn and didn't want him to touch her at all. He could only stand aside and watch. He called the He family to report that he was safe, and the old man urged him to go back.
He Ermeng glanced at Su Ci next to him and didn't feel at ease to leave. Su's father and mother were still in the hotel. If the two of them were really buried in the fire, I'm afraid there would be a big turmoil in the Su family in the future.
He only cared about Su Ci.
"Ci Ci, you go back first?" Su Zhiyuan's delicate face did not look very good, with a heavy look between his eyebrows. His parents were still alive or dead, and now the most important thing for him was to settle his sister and brother.
Su Ci shook her head, her face was pale, and even her lips were dry, "Brother, I won't leave."
She wanted to wait for Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother to come out.
There was fire everywhere in the hotel, and the scorching temperature and thick smoke made people almost suffocate.
Su's mother kept coughing, and she tried hard to move the heavy object on her husband's back. Her
husband was unconscious, and seeing that the fire was about to burn over, Su's mother fell into despair.
At this time, a figure passed by.
The young man glanced at the fire around him. He saw that the woman not far away and the man on the ground were about to be engulfed by the fire.
His eyes darkened, and Lu Zhe pulled out the tablecloth on the long dining table. He took the bottles of mineral water next to him and poured them on the tablecloth, draped the tablecloth over himself, and rushed over.
"Please, save my husband." Su's mother saw the young man rushing in from the fire. She was shocked, and hope ignited in her eyes.
Lu Zhe threw the wet tablecloth to Su's mother, and he stepped forward to move the heavy object that fell on Su's father.
The veins on Lu Zhe's arms were exposed. He gritted his teeth and lifted the heavy object that hit the man with force.
"You help hold him, I'll carry him." Lu Zhe said in a deep voice.
Su's mother stood up quickly and helped the boy to carry her husband.
The fire was about to burn close to them.
Lu Zhe carried Su's father on his back, and suddenly his feet stumbled, and he and Su's father almost fell into the fire.
Su's mother was frightened.
Lu Zhe steadied his steps and gritted his teeth to endure the sudden muscle twitching.
"Put on the cloth, let's rush out." Lu Zhe said to Su's mother beside him.
Su's mother quickly picked up the wet tablecloth, put it on her body, and then put the other half on her husband.
She and the boy just rushed out of the fire circle, but found that the front had also become a sea of fire.
Su's mother looked at the boy in panic, "Just run away, don't worry about us, whoever can escape is better." Her husband was still unconscious, and she could see that the boy was struggling to carry her husband on his back, and he was completely dragged down by them.
Lu Zhe's forehead was covered with sweat, and he clenched his jaw muscles. Looking at the raging fire in front of him, he turned sideways and kicked the door in the corridor open with a fierce kick.
The door did not move.
Lu Zhe put Su's father down on his body, and he kicked the door hard again.
After kicking it more than ten times in a row, with a "click", the door lock loosened.
Lu Zhe kicked it with his last foot, and the door was opened.
The fire had not yet spread into the room, and Lu Zhe rushed in.
He looked around and found that there was no window in the room. All the glass was sealed. He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet to the maximum, and wet several towels beside him.
"Cover your nose." Lu Zhe handed a towel to Su's mother, "Let's go over there. The fire is smaller there."
Su's mother took the towel gratefully. If it weren't for the young man in front of her, she and her husband would probably have been buried in the fire.
Lu Zhe wrapped another towel in front of Su's father.
He carried him on his back again.
Su Ci's legs were numb from standing. She looked at the door of the hotel intently, praying that the firefighters could rescue Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother.
"Ci Ci, drink some water." He Ermeng saw that Su Ci's lips were dry, and he opened the mineral water bottle.
Su Ci didn't answer.
Little Su Ning had been sent home by the bodyguard, and the eldest brother was also arranging people to assist the firefighters to buy more time to save people.
Boss Fang had been standing not far away, anxiously waiting for Lu Zhe to come out.
The girl's fair face was smeared with dust, and her lips were dry, but it did not diminish her beauty at all. Instead, there was a kind of pitiful beauty of a fairy in distress.
He Ermeng felt that he could never get tired of looking at Su Ci's beautiful and delicate face.
Just when He Ermeng wanted to ask Su Ci if she was hungry, he saw the girl's eyes suddenly light up and the corners of her lips curled up.
The next second, Su Ci picked up her dress and ran over.
He looked over and saw a tall young man carrying Su's father out, and Su's mother followed behind with a frightened look.
Su's father and mother both came out, and they were not dead.
Su Ci and Su Zhiyuan saw their parents and ran over quickly.
Lu Zhe asked the medical staff to help Su's father off his back and send him to the hospital.
When Su Zhiyuan saw his parents, his tightly wrinkled brows finally relaxed, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks to this young man who saved me and your dad." Su's mother looked at Lu Zhe gratefully, she thought she and her husband would be burned to death.
"It's you?" Su Zhiyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boy who had taken care of his sister would now save his parents. This boy really has a connection with their Su family.
"Zhiyuan, do you know him?"
"He is the Lu Zhe I told you about. He has been taking care of Xiaoci before." Su Zhiyuan glanced at his sister next to him, and he lowered his eyes, "Mom, you accompany Dad to the hospital first. I will send my brother home. I will send my sister to the hospital to see you later."
Su's mother inhaled a lot of thick smoke and felt a little uncomfortable. She was also worried about Su's father's health, and finally followed the medical staff to the ambulance.
Su Zhiyuan made a phone call to arrange for someone to go to the hospital to wait so that someone could take care of Su's father and mother as soon as possible. Today, the Su family held a banquet here, but an accident suddenly occurred. He also had to investigate whether the fire was man-made or accidental.
"Lu Zhe." Su Ci looked at the frightened boy in front of him with bright eyes, "Thank you for rescuing my parents."
Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't know they were your father and mother." But he was very glad that he could save them.
"Anyway, thank you." Su Ci approached him, "Uncle Fang said you went into the hotel to find me. How could you be so stupid? You knew there was a fire inside, but you still went in."
Lu Zhe looked deeply.
Then, he heard the girl say, "But I really like you to lose your mind for me."
Su Ci's eyes were bright, "You must think I'm very important, more important than yourself, so you risked your life to save me."
She asked him worriedly, "Are you not injured?"
Lu Zhe: "No."
His eyes fell on the girl's face, and he saw that the left side of her face was stained with dust. He raised his hand and stretched it towards her face.
"Pah!" A crisp sound rang out.
"Who told you to touch her?" It was He Ermeng who slammed Lu Zhe's hand down. His handsome eyebrows were filled with anger, and he looked at Lu Zhe sharply.
"He Ermeng, you are crazy." Su Ci glared at He Ermeng. She grabbed Lu Zhe's hand that had just been slapped and put it on her face, "He can touch me however he wants."
"Su Ci!" He Ermeng looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Su Ci actually let this boy touch her face. Su
Ci was unwilling to pay attention to He Ermeng. She looked at Lu Zhe, "My face is dirty, help me wipe it."
The girl's words seemed to be coquettish, but He Ermeng felt as if a knife stabbed his heart, painful and sour.
Just now he wanted to help her wipe her face, she flatly refused, and now, she actually took the initiative to let this boy who came out of nowhere wipe her face!
He Ermeng's eyes flushed red, and the sharpness in his eyes faded. He looked at Su Ci with moist eyes, "Ci Ci, I can also help you wipe your face."
"No need for you, I only want him!" Su Ci refused clearly.
Lu Zhe looked at his hands covered with dust, and he took them back.
Su Ci's eyes darkened, and she wanted to say something to him.
Lu Zhe rubbed his hands on his clothes for a few times, wiped the palms, and turned over to wipe the back of his hands a few times. He stretched out his hand again, and his cold fingertips touched Su Ci's face.
The rough fingertips gently wiped the dust off her face.
He Ermeng just wanted to beat the other person to death. He gritted his teeth and said, "The person who answered the phone for you that day was him, right?"
"So what if it was him." Su Ci saw that Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother were safe, and her mood improved.
Before, He Ermeng wanted to send people to City D to investigate, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
He wanted to ask Su Ci if she liked this boy, but when he saw Su Ci's attitude of supporting the other party, he swallowed his words hard.
He was worried about hearing the answer.
He Ermeng stared at Lu Zhe touching Su Ci's face with his eyes, and he wanted to chop off the other's hand.
Lu Zhe's cold face had a faint expression. He wiped the dust off the girl's face and quickly withdrew his hand. He looked at the man named He Ermeng coldly, and knew that he was the one Su Ci had mentioned before who was bothering her.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was stiff.
Su Zhiyuan finished his phone call and came over, "Ci Ci, let's go to the hospital to see Dad and Mom."
Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe: "You go."
Su Zhiyuan looked at Lu Zhe, "Thank you for saving my parents. I will remember your kindness to the Su family."
Lu Zhe's eyes were a little deep, "I just did what I should do." Even if the other party was not Su Ci's parents, he would still save people.
"No matter what, our Su family owes you two favors." Su Zhiyuan was indeed very grateful to the boy in front of him. He knew that if it weren't for him, his parents might not have survived until the arrival of the firefighters. "There are still many things to do today. I will thank you another day."
Su Zhiyuan took the reluctant Su Ci away.
Seeing Su Ci leaving, Boss Fang rushed to Lu Zhe's side, "Xiao Zhe, are you okay?"
Lu Zhe shook his head, "I'm fine."
"You really scared me to death, I thought..." Boss Fang quickly said "Pooh" and threw away the bad thoughts in his mind, "It's great that you're okay."
He was so old, but he was almost scared to death.
Su Ci left, and there was no need for He Ermeng to stay.
Before leaving, he stared at Lu Zhe fiercely, licked his upper palate with his tongue, and said coldly: "I'll remember you, if you don't want to be killed by me, stay away from Su Ci."
He has been guarding Su Ci for three years, Su Ci is his.
Lu Zhe's expression was cold, his dark eyes met He Ermeng's scrutiny directly, "Whatever you want." Anyway, he wouldn't live long without him having to fight.
He Ermeng had always been a little bully in the school. Even in the wealthy family, other peers had to follow his lead. This was the first time he met someone who was not afraid of him. He looked at him sarcastically. He had heard a lot of verbal abuse, but in the end, those people were still beaten to the ground by him.
In the end, He Ermeng pulled the corner of his mouth mockingly and left.
"Xiao Zhe, I heard that the man's surname is He." Boss Fang was worried about Lu Zhe. The other party had such an arrogant personality, and his surname was He. The only family that was qualified to interact with the Su family was the He family.
The other party was not someone that ordinary lower-class citizens like them could afford to provoke.
He could see that the young man surnamed He liked Su Ci, and Su Ci should like Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe should also like Su Ci, so the young man surnamed He wanted to cause trouble for Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe had no power and influence, and it was easy for him to suffer losses.
"Uncle Fang, don't worry, it's okay." Lu Zhe patted Boss Fang to let him come back to his senses, "We still have to go to see the venue."
Boss Fang did not forget the purpose of coming to City B this time. He looked at Lu Zhe with a tangled expression, "Are you okay? Why don't we go back to the hotel to rest for a while and go to see it later." There was such a big fire inside, and Lu Zhe saved people. He was still sick, so he was worried that Lu Zhe would be too tired.
"I'm fine, let's take advantage of the time to look at a few more places." They bought tickets for tomorrow's flight, and time was running out.
Boss Fang, of course, knew their situation, and he sighed, "Okay, let's go."
...
In the evening, Su Ci and Su Zhiyuan took a car back home from the hospital.
Su's father had woken up, but his back was seriously injured, so he needed to be hospitalized for a while, and Su's mother stayed in the hospital to take care of him.
Little Su Ning was sitting at the dining table by himself. When he saw Su Zhiyuan and Su Ci coming back, his big black eyes lit up, "Brother, sister."
The little guy must have been scared after experiencing the fire scene today, and Su's father, mother, brothers and sisters were not at home. He cried several times, and the servant coaxed him for a long time before he calmed down.
Su Ci walked up to touch little Suning's head, "Ningning, are you good at home?"
Little Suning completely forgot that he had been crying for a long time, and nodded, "Good."
"Dad and Mom are busy, so they won't be home for a few days. Can your sister take care of you?" Su Ci asked him.
Little Suning has always liked his sister very much. Now his sister doesn't think he is a little trouble. He likes playing with his sister very much. He answered in a baby voice, "Okay."
Su Ci touched his head again, "You are so good." Su
Zhiyuan saw that his sister was willing to take care of her brother now, and tenderness appeared in his eyes. He asked someone to send the meal to the study. Today's incident had a great impact, and he had a lot of things to deal with.
After Su Ci accompanied little Suning to finish the meal, she asked someone to take the little guy to take a bath.
Back in the room, Su Ci called Lu Zhe directly.
The phone was connected within a few seconds of ringing.
"Lu Zhe, where are you now?" Su Ci sat on the bed, still wearing the dress she wore for the banquet, and had not had time to change.
"What's wrong?"
The boy's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was still some noise around.
"Tell me where you are, and I'll find you later." The location was not suitable in the afternoon, and she didn't talk to him properly, and she wanted to know why he suddenly came to City B.
Lu Zhe was having dinner with Boss Fang in a small restaurant near the hotel. The environment here was not very good, and there were many people and it was noisy. How could Su Ci come to such a place?
He lowered his eyelids, "You don't have to come over, I'll find you later."
He knew she must want to see him.
Su Ci smiled, "I'll send you my home address."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhe met Boss Fang's eyes.
"Is it Xiao Ci?" Boss Fang remembered that Lu Zhe seemed to have no other friends besides Su Ci.
"Well, I'll go see her." Lu Zhe lowered his head and quickened his eating speed.
Boss Fang smiled and said, "We are leaving tomorrow. You should go see Xiao Ci. You won't be able to see each other for a long time."
After coming to City B, he had a deeper understanding of the Su family. Today they went to many office buildings, many of which were Su's industries.
And these office buildings were just small industries that were not worth mentioning to the Su family.
The gap between Lu Zhe and Su Ci was an unseen abyss.
After leaving the small restaurant, Lu Zhe took a taxi to the Su family.
After getting off the bus, Lu Zhe sent a message to Su Ci: I'm at your door.
The Su family is like a castle in the center of the city, and Su Ci is the spoiled princess in the castle.
After a while, the iron gate was opened.
Lu Zhe watched the spoiled princess come out, and he stood in the dark, like a delusional thief who was peeping at the princess.
"Lu Zhe."
Su Ci walked out. She looked at the tall boy standing under the tree in the dark and said unhappily, "Why are you standing there? I almost didn't see you."
Lu Zhe walked out of the dark and stood under the street light. The warm yellow light softened his stiff features. He asked the girl, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes." Su Ci walked up to him and took his hand directly, trying to pull him into the Su family.
Lu Zhe did not move. He looked at the girl indifferently and said, "I'm not going in."
"Do you want me to stand at the door and chat with you? I'll be very tired." Su Ci pulled up the hem of her dress and stretched out her legs for Lu Zhe to see.
The girl was wearing crystal silver stiletto heels, and her slender ankles were still tied with a cheap red rope that did not match the dress.
Su Ci winked at Lu Zhe and said jokingly, "Don't worry, my parents are still in the hospital, my brother is working in the study, and my brother is asleep. They won't know you're here."
Then, she pulled Lu Zhe inside.
Facing the guard's surprised look, Su Ci raised her eyebrows and threatened fiercely, "You didn't see anything."
The guard straightened his waist and turned his head away with interest. He saw nothing.
The front yard of the Su family is a garden and a fountain, and there is a lotus pond in the backyard. A pavilion was specially built in the center of the pond. Sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the lotus is the best view in summer.
Street lights are installed all around the backyard, so the surrounding light is not dark.
Su Ci pulled Lu Zhe into the pavilion and sat down in it.
As soon as she sat down, Su Ci kicked off her high heels. After wearing them all day, her feet were already in pain.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lu Zhe knew how delicate the girl's body was. Wearing a little hard shoes would rub her feet red. Now she was wearing high heels, which obviously didn't feel good.
"My feet hurt." Su Ci stretched out her two feet.
With the warm yellow light from the pavilion, Lu Zhe saw that the girl's heels were rubbed red.
His eyes deepened, "Remember to apply the medicine when you go back."
"Yes." Su Ci responded perfunctorily.
Su Ci's mind was not on her feet. She blinked and said to Lu Zhe: "Lu Zhe, do you think it's like I secretly brought you home to have an affair without telling my family? I think it's so exciting." Lu Zhe
glanced at her dimly. Who would say that about themselves?
Su Ci couldn't wait for a response. She kicked Lu Zhe's calf with her toes, "Am I wrong?"
Lu Zhe knew how to please her, "Yes."
Su Ci's red lips curved, she moved closer to Lu Zhe and continued to ask: "You can't see clearly in the video. I'm wearing a dress now. Am I beautiful?"
The moon was reflected on the pond, and the surface of the pond was sparkling.
Lu Zhe looked at the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
He replied softly, "Yeah."
How could Su Ci be satisfied?
She moved closer to him, and her two jade arms climbed onto Lu Zhe's shoulders. The next second, she felt the boy's body tremble.
"What's wrong?" She stopped.
Lu Zhe shook his head, "It's okay, just sit down."
The girl's dress had a low neckline, and he only lowered his head slightly to see a large area of white on her chest.
Su Ci didn't listen to him. She touched the place where she had just touched, and the next moment, Lu Zhe's body stiffened again.
Su Ci frowned, she stood up, and directly pulled open Lu Zhe's collar, and she found that there was a burn wound on the boy's shoulder.
Su Ci was a little angry, "You were injured and didn't tell me."
Lu Zhe met the girl's watery eyes, and the coldness in his voice disappeared, "It's not serious, just apply some medicine."
"Did you apply medicine?" Su Ci glared at him.
Lu Zhe:...
After leaving the hotel in the afternoon, he had been running outside with Boss Fang and had no time to go back to apply medicine.
Su Ci pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Zhe, and left.
Lu Zhe's stiff face looked a little colder in the night.
I don't know how long it took, but when Su Ci came back, she had an ointment in her hand.
She looked at Lu Zhe and said directly, "Take off your clothes."
Lu Zhe held his forehead and said, "Give me the ointment, I'll apply it myself when I get back."
Su Ci sat down beside him and grabbed the hem of his clothes with her slender white fingers, "I'll help you take it off."
Lu Zhe held her hand tightly, with helplessness and indulgence in his dark eyes, "I'll take it off myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhe saw the girl's black eyes light up instantly.
