Seeing Shen Zhizhu so happy, he still hoped that Shen Zhizhu could always stay happy.
Xu Haonan could still feel the burning heat from the place where Shen Zhizhu kissed him, but when he touched it, it was a normal temperature.
As night fell, Xu Haonan, who was soundly sleeping, suddenly smelled the smell of burning firewood and woke up abruptly. This was because ever since Shen Zhizhu had eaten the meal he cooked, the task of cooking at home was given to him.
There was a strong smell late at night, so it couldn't be the kitchen cooking.
He turned over and saw that Shen Zhizhu was still sleeping soundly beside him. At this time, black smoke poured in. He knew that something was wrong and quickly went to push Shen Zhizhu aside.
"Azhu, wake up."

Shen Zhizhu was half asleep and half awake, and she also smelled the odor, but she thought it was Xu Haonan cooking, so she didn't care. She continued to act coquettishly and wanted to stay in bed as usual, with a sticky sound.
"No~ Let me sleep for a while, just a little while, five minutes will be enough."
Under normal circumstances, Xu Haonan would still find it adorable in his heart, but now the situation was critical and he had no time to think about it. He watched the black smoke increasing in the house and there were also many flames outside the window.
He stopped calling Shen Zhizhu and picked her up, taking a coat from the bedside to cover her. He opened the door with one hand and heard Aunt Li shouting from next door as soon as he opened it.
Running towards here while shouting.
"It's on fire, it's on fire, everyone come and put it out! Xiaozhu, Haonan! Wake up!"
"Sister Xiaozhu! Brother Haonan! It's on fire, wake up!"
Shen Zhizhu was also awakened by the voice. She immediately found Xu Haonan holding her in his arms like a princess, and behind him was the burning house. No matter how sleepy she was, she was awakened by the fright and looked around quickly.
Aunt Li just happened to arrive at their front door and was banging on it, while Erdan continued to shout from his own yard. When he saw Xu Haonan coming out carrying Shen Zhizhu, he shouted in surprise, his voice even choked with sobs.
"Woo woo woo, brothers and sisters, you finally came out. You scared Erdan to death."
After all, Erdan was still young and had never seen such things. It was very brave of him to force himself to call for help.
"Don't cry, Erdan. Brother and sister are fine. I heard from my sister that our two families live very close to each other. The fire here can easily spread to your place. Go prepare some water and pour it on all the objects near my sister's house. We will go and call your mother back."
Erdan cried, listened and nodded. After Shen Zhizhu finished giving the instructions, Erdan went back to find basins, bowls and buckets, and then filled them with water from the pressurized well.
Xu Haonan carried Shen Zhizhu to the door and opened it.
Auntie Li was also extremely anxious. When she saw their excited tears welling up in her eyes, she didn't even have time to wipe them away and dragged Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan out.
"Hurry, hurry, your house is on fire. It looks like the fire is getting bigger. Let's go and call some people over. Maybe we can save something. Fortunately, you two are fine."
Because they left in a hurry, they didn't get shoes for Shen Zhizhu, so Xu Haonan kept holding him. Shen Zhizhu thought about it, but was silently rejected by Xu Haonan's tightly clasped arms.
So, Shen Zhizhu reluctantly lay in the other's arms.
They had already arrived at Aunt Li's home. Erdan's small body was trying hard to pour water on the wall according to Shen Zhizhu's instructions. Aunt Li saw him and hurried over to help. She was so anxious just now that she forgot that she would be affected as well.
"Auntie, let's come too."
Then he patted Xu Haonan's arm.
"Put me down quickly. The fire is raging. There's no wind yet, so I'm afraid the wind will blow sparks over. But first, make an isolation zone for Auntie to avoid being affected by the fire in our house."
Xu Haonan naturally had to do it. He put Shen Zhizhu on a chair in the yard.
"I'll go, you just sit there."
"That's impossible. Erdan is so small, and he was so scared and called us. He was just barefoot, but he could still help."
Shen Zhizhu has always been the kind of person who repays a drop of kindness with a spring, let alone Aunt Li's family. She came to the water pressure well barefoot, and she pressed the handle to ensure a steady flow of water.
When Aunt Li came back after splashing, she saw Shen Zhizhu, barefoot, squeezing and filling water.
"Oh, the temperature has gradually dropped. Thank you so much, auntie."
But there was no time to say anything more. He replaced the bottle with water and continued pouring it. He had to pour it thoroughly, otherwise even a thin layer would be evaporated by the heat of the flame.
When people who lived nearby felt the impact, they rushed out, filled their buckets with water and ran towards this side.
"Oh my god, such a big fire, hurry up, brothers, there are many good things in Haonan's house, don't let this fire burn them all."
"Don't be afraid, Xiaozhu, the aunties are here too."
Everyone joined in the firefighting. They first put out the fire from Aunt Li's side to make it smaller, and then many people carried buckets into Shen Zhizhu's house, because if there was only one pressure well to provide water, it would always be too late.
So they plan to take advantage of both.
Fortunately, there were not many things in the yard, so even if there was a fire, it was only the firewood pile that was burning. There was no flame at the water pressure well, but the heat could still be felt there.
Suddenly, a drop of rain fell on the forehead of one of them. The man who was about to break the water was stunned. It seemed that he was afraid of feeling wrong, so he stood still. This made the people behind him bump into each other unexpectedly.
"Hiss, what are you doing? Why are you standing there when we are racing against time? If you are tired, go take a rest. Don't block my way. Give me the bucket. I will splash two buckets."
"No, a raindrop just fell on my forehead. Is it going to rain?"
The man looked up and felt nothing, thinking that the man must be hallucinating.
"It's over. You're so tired that you're hallucinating. You don't have the physical strength to do this. Come with me to exercise some other day..." Practice for a while.
Before he could finish his words, heavy rain came pouring down. The speed and intensity were as if there was a hole in the sky and someone was pouring water down with a bucket. No one could react at first and were drenched to the bone.
I don't know who reacted first.
"What are you standing there for? Take shelter from the rain. With this heavy rain, the fire will be out in a minute."
Everyone then reacted and rushed to Aunt Li's house. The women ran out and then returned to Aunt Li's house, while the men jumped over the low wall between the two houses.
