At this time, the house was surrounded by flames. Gu Xiuyuan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. He could hardly see anything in the firelight.
"Xiao Yu——"
cough……
He coughed and searched anxiously in the house where the fire was spreading.
When he rushed over, the fire had already surrounded the house.
Looking at the fire, he couldn't tell how long it had been burning. He was afraid that he would be too late. He was afraid that she was here, but he also seemed to be afraid that she wasn't there...
“Xiao Yu!!”
He screamed anxiously, and finally saw the figure lying inside in the dense smoke and firelight...
In an instant, the surprise in his heart overwhelmed his fear. He rushed through the fire and rushed to her side, holding her in his arms.
My heart was hanging in the air before it was finally lifted up again. She had no external injuries, but she was obviously unconscious at this time.
"Xiao Yu, wake up..." Gu Xiuyuan shouted anxiously.
Ji Shuyu was about to be woken up, but looking at the person in front of her, she was a little confused whether it was reality or an illusion.
"Walk……"
The effect of the medicine had not yet worn off, and she had been exposed to the smoke for a long time, so she had no strength left.
Gu Xiuyuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and kissed her forehead with heartache.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you out right now!" He said, and wanted to pick her up, only to find that not only her hands and feet were tied, but there was also an iron chain locked on her feet, and the other end of the chain was fixed to a heavy iron frame.
"Xiao Yu, where are the keys?!" Gu Xiuyuan was completely panicked.
"I'll let you go."
With her hands tied behind her back, Ji Shuyu couldn't push him away and could only use her shoulders to bump into him.
Realizing he didn't have the key, Gu Xiuyuan reached out to pull it, but the iron frame was too stiff and it didn't move even if he used all his strength.
The fire spread towards this side, and he could only use his body to block the heat flow coming towards them, with only despair in his heart.
At this moment, the exit was almost blocked by the fire, and the house was about to be engulfed...
Ji Shuyu looked completely panicked. She struggled with all her might but couldn't break free from his arms.
"Don't touch me, get out--" she cursed with red eyes.
Gu Xiuyuan was anxious, desperate, and heartbroken. He had never felt so helpless before.
So many times, he hadn't been by her side when she was in danger. Now that he had rushed over, he was still powerless to help...
"Xiao Yu..." His voice trembled slightly, and he felt reluctant and uneasy.
"I told you to get out and don't touch me!"
Ji Shuyu screamed and struggled with all her might, but was held tightly in his arms.
His arms held her tightly. She was so anxious to drive him away, maybe because she was worried.
But Xiaoyu was almost lost again and again, and this time he would not let go no matter what he said.
Gu Xiuyuan held the trembling Ji Shuyu in his arms: "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid..."
Ji Shuyu froze for a moment, then struggled even harder.
"Who the hell wants you here? If you want to die, get away from me and don't touch me..."
She cursed passionately, wishing she could grow a pair of hands to push him away, but the more she struggled, the tighter he hugged her, and then kissed her fiercely...
Ji Shuyu's eyes widened in shock, and in the firelight she saw a smile in his eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to cry...
There was the sound of rain outside the house, and at the same time the sounds of sirens and fire trucks wailed.
Ji Shuyu kept looking at the door, hoping that someone would appear and take him away, but before her wish could be realized, the burnt wood from the roof fell down.
Gu Xiuyuan held her tightly under his body, and then endured the severe pain and threw away the burning wood.
Seeing her frightened and distressed look, he tried his best to force a smile at her: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you..."
Ji Shuyu's lips trembled and tears flowed like crazy.
Who wants your protection? Get lost...
However, she no longer had the energy to curse. She heard him whisper in her ear: "Wife, I..."
Before she could hear what he said, she fell into endless darkness.
It was only at this moment that Ji Shuyu realized that when she was in real danger, she didn't want him to show up.
Gu Xiuyuan, what are you doing here at this time?
When will you be able to stay away from me...
The burning fire made the wound ache like a piercing pain. Looking at Ji Shuyu who had lost consciousness under him, he hugged her tighter for a few more seconds.
Xiaoyu, it's my fault that I can't rescue you, but don't be afraid, I will be with you, always with you...
The severe pain in his shoulders and back and the burning of the fire devoured his consciousness inch by inch.
He protected his beloved little girl under his body, using all his strength to support himself, and finally saw someone rushing in at the door...
"Save my wife, save her..."
…
The rain didn't come at an opportune moment, but it was a heavy rain.
When the rain fell on her face, Ji Shuyu had a moment of clarity...
She seemed to see the fire slowly die out amidst the rain and rescue efforts, but before she lost consciousness, she heard the sound of an explosion...
Bang——
He heard anxious cries and the conversations of medical staff. They said someone was injured, seriously injured...
Xiuyuan...
The pain was like a tear in her heart. As the tears fell from her eyes, she fell into the endless darkness...
…
Ji Shuyu was awakened by the sobbing sound in her ear. She slowly opened her eyes and saw all white and Mu Ran's red and swollen eyes beside the bed.
I'm not dead, am I?
She remembered seeing Gu Xiuyuan before she lost consciousness...
But for a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was her own fantasy.
It would be the best! She thought weakly, but his embrace and kiss were so clear and real...
"Xiao Yu'er..." As soon as she opened her eyes, Mu Ran rushed over. "How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Mu Ran cried even harder and pressed the pager urgently.
Seeing her friend's face covered in tears, she wanted to wipe them away, but she had just woken up from a coma and she really didn't have the strength.
Mu Ran looked at it and quickly grabbed it, then pressed it against her tear-stained face.
"Xiao Yu'er, don't be afraid, it's all gone." Mu Ran wiped her tears.
"Xiu..." She moved her lips, her voice weak.
Mu Ran understood what she meant, "Don't worry, he's fine."
Ji Shuyu wanted to lift the quilt after hearing this, but was stopped by Mu Ran: "You need to stay in bed and rest now. I will tell you when he wakes up."
Mu Ran held her down and prevented her from getting up. At this time, medical staff also hurried over.
Because he was trapped in the fire for a long time, the doctor arranged a series of examinations.
Ji Shuyu's mind was still a little confused.
"Where are the people who were sent here with me?" Her voice was hoarse and difficult to understand due to inhaling smoke, but the medical staff understood what she meant.
"Don't worry! No one is here!"
The nurse tried to comfort her, but Ji Shuyu noticed that her eyes were a little evasive...
