On fire?
Ji Shuyu didn't react for a moment.
My chest was still stuffy from my depression, and I couldn't even tell if it was a dream, until I heard anxious shouts from outside again: "There's a fire, get up quickly..."
The baby in her belly was tossing and turning even more violently, and Ji Shuyu suddenly woke up.
She sat up and saw a fire outside the window, and her room was also filled with smoke.
Ahem…
The instant fear scared away all her depression and sleepiness. She got up and ran to the door without even bothering to put on her shoes.
The door was not yet hot, so she pushed it open in surprise, but it was stuck after just a crack.
The gap was not big, just enough for an arm to extend. She squeezed her legs into the gap and tried to use the strength of her body to push the door open, but the door did not budge.
"Is there anyone here? Help!"
Ji Shuyu knocked on the door vigorously.
"Grandma, can you hear me?! Cough cough..."
She tried to call the grandmother next door, but there was no sound in the corridor. She could only hear the commotion outside the window.
Ji Shuyu was extremely scared. She tried her best to suppress her fear and forced herself to stay calm.
The room was filled with smoke. She ran to the window and tried to call for help. Flames were licking the window. The window frame had been deformed by the high temperature, and once the window was opened, the fire would spread into the house.
Thick smoke obscured the glass, and she couldn't draw the attention of the people downstairs.
Ahem…
She covered her mouth and nose and ran back to the bed to look for her cell phone. At this moment, there was a loud bang, and then the entire glass was shattered.
Then, she was pushed onto the bed by a strong air current.
At that moment she instinctively protected her lower abdomen, but fortunately she reacted in time.
The impact was not severe, but as the glass was broken, heat rushed into the house and the fire quickly spread inside.
Ji Shuyu was panicked and desperate. She coughed and reached for her phone, only to discover to her despair that there was no signal!
The curtains were on fire, and the small room was soon engulfed in flames.
Heat waves continued to pour into the room, and she couldn't get close to the window.
She was frightened, but she knew she could only rely on herself at this time.
She dragged the quilt into the bathroom, wet it, and called the police.
Ahem…
"This is XX residential complex, unit 2... ahem..."
"502, there's someone in 502... Please save me, save my baby."
The bedroom was already filled with flames. She wrapped herself in the wet quilt and tried to go out again, but the window was already engulfed in flames, and the gas tank in the kitchen was a time bomb.
She huddled on the ground, facing the fire in the house, filled with despair.
She wanted to call Gu Xiuyuan, but her cell phone had no signal.
He... probably wouldn't pay any attention to him.
He walked away from her again and again, leaving her with his back again and again...
She regretted it.
She regretted why she came back here!
If she hadn't been so naive and willful, she wouldn't have put her baby in danger time and time again...
She held her lower abdomen tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Baby, I'm sorry..."
She choked up while calling for help. The operator on the other end kept comforting her, telling her that the fire truck would be here soon and asked her not to be afraid.
But how could she not be afraid?
She is not alone, she has two babies in her belly!
They haven't even come to this world to see it all yet, and she still has many things she wants to do with them. She's afraid they'll never have the chance again.
At night, the wind was extremely strong, and the fire spread with the wind, and the area around the fire point was already affected by the fire...
squeak--
Amid the roar of the fire truck, a black Maybach rushed into the yard.
Gu Xiuyuan got out of the car and saw the huge fire in front of him, his eyes widened in shock.
Originally, he was just feeling uneasy and wanted to come and take a look. As always, just a glance at her window would make him feel at ease.
The closer he got, the more uneasy he felt. He never expected something to really happen...
Because of a sudden fire, all the residents in the building were evacuated.
The fire truck was blocked and could not get in for a while, and the yard was in chaos.
"Ji Shuyu." He got out of the car and shouted her name loudly. Every time he shouted, his heart ached more.
"Have you seen a pregnant woman living in this building?" He asked the person next to him.
"No, no."
The crowd was watching, some were shouting, some were just watching, no one gave him an answer, and he didn't see that figure in the crowd.
"Ji Shuyu!!" he screamed in despair.
The fire started on the fourth floor, and several windows centered there were engulfed. That was downstairs from her...
He looked at it and rushed in without hesitation.
"Sir." The onlookers tried to hold him back, "You can't go in, it's too dangerous..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xiuyuan had already pushed him aside and rushed in.
She was still in there, and he couldn't leave her there alone.
The corridor was filled with smoke and he rushed upstairs.
Suddenly, a desperate voice rang in my ears: "I want you to get out of here! Don't touch me!"
The sharp scream pierced his eardrums, and he could hardly stand up in pain. He covered his ears in pain, but did not dare to stop for a moment.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: save her, save her...
In the room, Ji Shuyu's consciousness was gradually becoming blurred. She lay on the ground with her arms tightly protecting her lower abdomen.
She heard the sound of the fire truck, but by then she no longer had the strength to hold on.
Baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Bang, bang——
She heard banging at the door.
She seemed to see the scene again, she was locked in the fire scene, and saw Xiuyuan rushing in regardless of anything.
He hugged her and told her not to be afraid, saying, "I will be with you..."
In her blurred consciousness, she seemed to really see a figure rushing in, but she was too late to see who it was.
Gu Xiuyuan rushed in, but was blocked by the door, which made him sure that the people inside had no chance of escape. Looking at the flames rising into the house, he felt only despair in his heart.
"Xiao Yu——"
The name came out of my mouth and tears welled up.
An indescribable feeling of despair surged into his heart. He rushed in recklessly, almost recklessly. Amid the crackling sounds of burning, he heard the faint sound of water coming from the bathroom, and then rushed in with flames...
In the bathroom, the person lying on the floor was unconscious.
Seeing this scene, more images came to my mind.
He collapsed in pain, stumbled over and picked up the unconscious Ji Shuyu.
"Ji Shuyu, wake up——"
Ahem…
He coughed, trying to wake her from her coma, but no matter how he called, she didn't respond.
Outside, the fire truck's sirens were already blaring, and water was rushing in directly through the broken glass.
The fire in the house was gradually suppressed, but he had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
There was another bang.
The violent shock caused the wall to crack and the ceiling slab fell down directly.
He instinctively protected her under him.
At that moment, the blurry image in my mind slowly became clear...
