Chapter 978 It's Okay
The man strode in coughing, his forehead still bleeding against the water tank. Through the glass, he looked at the girl's tearful face and whispered,
"It's okay."
"It's okay, Pianpian."
He looked down at the water tank, then took off his outer suit and put it into the tank to cover the girl's head.
Then the man clenched his fists, gathered his whitening knuckles and smashed them hard into the water tank.
Amidst the loud crashing sound, blood splattered everywhere along with the broken glass.
A blue liquid with a sweet smell suddenly flowed out like a stream.
The moment the glass shattered, the man stepped forward, reached out and hugged the girl who was falling with the broken glass, and knelt on the ground.
He held her tightly.
He squeezed her with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to break all her bones.
"It's all right,"
His bloody lips pressed against the girl's cold forehead, again and again.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The embrace was warm and spacious, with a hint of choking smoke.
But the girl stretched out her hands that were still tied with ropes, and slowly and forcefully grabbed the clothes on his chest. A weak and sad cry came from the suit that was holding her.
The man's heart tightened and hurt.
He repeatedly pressed his lips against her forehead, as if to comfort her and himself.
He only stayed for a short time, still wrapping Shen Pianpian with his soaked suit, and reached out to pick her up and walk out the door.
However, after only a few steps, he met her and stopped.
Outside the door, the flames almost completely blocked the way to the door in a short period of time.
The burning furniture kept falling to the ground with a messy noise, black smoke billowed out of the window, and more was flowing into the room.
Cheng Zhiyuan started coughing violently.
The girl in his arms moved uneasily. He suppressed his cough and reached out to wrap her tighter with his wet suit.
His dark pupils reflected the firelight in the room. He clenched his teeth and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
After a pause of a few seconds, he raised his foot and walked out. Instead of heading towards the exit engulfed by flames, he walked deeper into the cave.
The house is big enough that an entire floor is connected.
Since we can't get out through the sea of fire, we can only delay time as much as possible.
The gasoline was poured along the walls, so even if it burned there was still a small space to walk on.
He kept coughing, and Shen Pianpian curled up against his chest. Occasionally, when she raised her eyes to look, he would cover them tightly with his chest to avoid inhaling the thick smoke.
There was no conversation throughout the whole process, as running in the sea of fire always carried visible danger.
All the man's energy was used to block the falling and burning furniture and suppress his uncontrollable coughing.
The fire in the corridor was not big, so he quickened his pace towards the deepest room.
The bright and chaotic firelight reflected on the walls, like monsters with bared fangs and claws.
The man's dark eyes were suddenly flashed by something, and a swaying dazzling light mixed with the firelight entered his eyes.
Cheng Zhiyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and the moment he heard the noise above his head, he pressed the girl's head against his chest and rolled her over.
There was a loud crash.
The girl was clasped in his chest and soon smelled a faint scent of blood.
"Cheng Zhiyuan..."
She clutched the man's shirt tightly, her weak voice filled with tears.
"Cheng Zhiyuan..."
"I'm fine,"
There was nothing unusual in the man's voice. Afterwards, there was a loud crashing sound. He held the girl and stood up again. His steps, which were a little shaky at first, soon stabilized.
Shen Pianpian only smelled the increasingly strong smell of blood.
