Qi Shengzhi picked up the wet towel on the ground, wrapped it around his face, and then covered Yue Feiying's exposed skin with the other wet towels.
He looked up at the ceiling of the toilet, which was also beginning to emit black smoke, obviously ignited by the fire outside.
Unable to wait any longer, Qi Sheng made up his mind, kicked the toilet door open and rushed out.
At this time, the living room was completely engulfed in raging flames and thick smoke. The high temperature burned his exposed skin, and the thick smoke made it impossible for him to open his eyes. He couldn't help but cry, and soon his peach blossom eyes were filled with bloodshot.
Qi Shengzhi couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he could only rely on his past memories to move forward little by little with his eyes closed. At the same time, he did not forget to hold Yue Feiying in his arms tighter, for fear that the surrounding flames would lick her.
Feeling the high temperature, Yue Feiying clung tightly to Qi Shengzhi's chest. At this moment, she did not feel a trace of fear in her heart, but felt extremely at ease.
In such a dangerous situation, she didn't expect Qi Shengzhi to put her safety above his own life. This was different from any sweet words she had ever heard. He used practical actions to let her see his sincerity.
Yue Feiying thought that her heart had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations and had long been "immune to all poisons", but she never expected that one day she would be moved by the fool Qi Shengzhi.
In fact, she was awake when Qi Sheng went to bed, so she heard what he said later.
But Yue Feiying was very conflicted at that time. She liked Qi Shengzhi, but did not want to be bound by him, so she selfishly pretended to sleep and pretended not to hear his confession, thinking that she could escape for a while.
But facing such a dangerous situation, Qi Shengzhi's choice could not help but move her -
If a man is willing to pay the price of his life to love her, then what reason does she have to doubt his sincerity?
It's not that she doesn't believe in love, it's that she doesn't believe she can get love, and Qi Shengzhi, this fool, is willing to sacrifice his life to make her believe it...
Yue Feiying had already thought it through. When she said "OK" just now, she had actually decided to stay with Qi Shengzhi.
She suddenly figured out a truth -
She always thought that she was braver than Shao Jingque and dared to face the cruelty of the world alone. But looking at it from another angle, perhaps Shao Jingque was braver than her, dared to believe, dared to pursue, and dared to fail.
Even if I fail, so what?
At worst, I can start over again!
Qi Shengzhi walked barefoot on the scorching wooden floor, struggling to avoid the scorching flames in the thick smoke. As he walked, he suddenly groaned, shook violently, and leaned to one side, but quickly stood up again.
Yue Feiying, whose vision was blocked by her clothes, asked nervously:
"What's wrong?"
The skin on Qi Shengzhi's shoulder had already cracked, but he clenched his teeth and didn't let out a cry of pain. He said in a deep voice:
"It's okay, don't be afraid, we'll be out soon."
Yue Feiying heard the "crackling" sound of explosions from time to time, which made her tremble with fear. Even through a layer of clothes, she could see a sea of red in front of her eyes. One could imagine what a hellish scene Qi Shengzhi was seeing at that moment.
She was extremely anxious and wanted to jump off Qi Shengzhi immediately, but her hands and feet were too weak to move.
"Qi Shengzhi, are you injured?!"
She could feel that Qi Shengzhi's movements were much stiffer than before, and the muscles in his chest were as tight as steel, as if he was in severe pain with every step he took.
Qi Shengzhi did not answer immediately. Yue Feiying's body began to tremble unconsciously, and unprecedented worry surged in her heart.
At this time, Qi Sheng's lower lip had been bitten to the point of bleeding. The strong irritation of the thick smoke made his eyes bloodshot, and his exposed upper body was covered with blisters from the burning debris. He hunched over and hugged Yue Feiying, trying to use his flesh and blood to block as much damage as possible for her.
Just now, a broken beam fell from the sky with fire and hit Qi Shengzhi's shoulder directly. The huge impact force almost knocked him down, but he thought of Yue Feiying in his arms who would fall to the ground covered with glass and wood chips, so he stood up at the last moment.
The glass chandelier above his head had long been smashed to pieces. Qi Shengzhi stepped on sharp glass shards with every step. The huge physical exertion made him inhale more toxic smoke. The severe pain in his feet became a "helper" for him to barely stay awake, and he forged a bloody path from the toilet to the door.
He hugged Yue Feiying's arms tightly, forced himself to hold back the painful groan that was about to burst out of his throat, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm fine."
He gritted his teeth, and despite the debris falling from the sky, he moved forward step by step in the sea of fire until a burning door appeared in front of him.
Flames broke through the thick smoke and appeared in front of him. Even before he got close, he could feel the suffocating heat.
Qi Shengzhi was not afraid, nor did he hesitate at all. It was safe outside the gate. Even if it was a sea of fire, he would rush out holding Yue Feiying.
He stopped for the first time, took off the towel around his face, and put it on Yue Feiying. Then he carefully tucked the towel around her body with his hands, wrapping Yue Feiying's body as much as possible, preparing for the final sprint.
Yue Feiying noticed his unusual movements and clearly felt that another towel was draped over her body. She quickly asked:
"What are you doing?!"
The incoming heat waves hit Qi Shengzhi's face and body. He stared fearlessly at the door in front of him that was constantly spitting out tongues of fire, and whispered in Yue Feiying's ear in the calmest voice:
"Close your eyes and hold your breath for five seconds."
Yue Feiying's heart began to beat wildly. She realized that Qi Shengzhi was definitely going to do something, but she had no time to think because she could feel that Qi Shengzhi was ready to do it.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and held her breath as he said. She heard a loud "bang". After a dizzying moment, the clothes covering her face were thrown away, and a brilliant starry sky appeared before her.
The still hot yet fresh air was inhaled into her lungs again, bringing an unprecedented refreshing feeling, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart.
They rushed out of the fire!
"Qi Shengzhi, we are out, you..."
She turned her head happily, but the smile froze on her face in an instant.
Not far from her, a human figure was lying quietly, its shape no longer recognizable. His naked back was covered with huge blood blisters, and countless wood chips were stuck in his wounds. Blood kept flowing down from his body, leaving horrible bloodstains on the ground.
Yue Feiying felt a lump in her throat, and she subconsciously wanted to stand up to help Qi Shengzhi up, but found that she couldn't even straighten her body.
Hot tears kept flowing from her willow-shaped eyes, but she could only lie there helplessly and repeatedly called his name:
“Qi Shengzhi…Qi Shengzhi!”
