Chapter 149 It’s great, I don’t have to wait for her anymore
After the opening dance, it was time for the solo performances.
Riley and Brian were listed in the brochure as brothers, performing a duet together in the seventh number.
Scarlett didn't rush and continued reading.
There were six females sitting at her table, all holding brochures and discussing which male was the best looking.
Among them, Riley and Brian discussed the most.
"Wow, this burgundy-haired guy is so handsome, with a pair of lustrous green eyes. My heart is pounding just looking at him. I must buy him later!"
"His younger brother is also good-looking, with those charming eyes. If you choose the older brother, I'll choose the younger brother."
"Hey, hey, hey, you two have chosen, what should we choose?"
"It doesn't matter. We're not choosing a legal husband. If you like it, I'll give it to you in two months."
"That's right, it's just a male. If you like it, just change it. It's no big deal."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then we'll choose someone else and swap when the time comes."
At this time, a female with gentle features looked at Scarlett.
In the dim light, Scarlett's thin figure did not stand out, only her eyes, under the light, appeared exceptionally bright.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, the female smiled and asked, "Little female, do you have a favorite male?"
The women sitting at this table came from ordinary families. Like Scarlett, they were dressed simply, but their eyes were bright and sparkling.
Scarlett met the female's gaze and smiled frankly, "I like Riley and Brian."
The female was startled for a moment, then exchanged glances with the others. Another female spoke up, "Little female, I see you're quite young. Are you here to choose a husband?"
The bonfire party is not attended only by eighteen-year-old females, but also by females of other ages.
Some choose the main husband, some choose the concubine husband.
Scarlett smiled and said, "Yes."
Several females understood and laughed, "You have good taste. The legitimate husband is important. We won't compete with you to avoid raising the price. Come on, get them."
“Thank you, sisters!”
In a blink of an eye, the sixth show was over.
The host came on stage to announce that the seventh show was about to begin.
Scarlett sat up straight, anticipating Riley and Brian's performance.
What kind of sparks will these two people, one calm and composed, the other irritable and arrogant, create?
Scarlett looked towards the stage with a smile.
This glance really made her see sparks.
However, it was not caused by Riley and Brian, but by a "boom" sound coming from the side of the stage, and thick smoke billowed out. Sparks jumped out along with the smoke, exploding all over the ground, and soon the velvet cloth on the stage was ignited.
The announcer was unable to dodge in time, and his exquisite attire was instantly obliterated by the thick smoke.
He was choking and coughing.
But as a host, he still had the most basic professional ethics. He held up the microphone and shouted loudly: "There's a fire, everyone run!!!"
A bonfire party was originally held here.
The walls are hung with braziers and torches to enhance the atmosphere.
Now that the fire had suddenly broken out, everyone was frightened by the raging flames and rushed out in a frenzy. The noise was so loud that the braziers and torches on the wall began to tremble and fall down one after another, intensifying the fire.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall was in chaos.
Scarlett's heart was pounding. She stood up and ran towards the stage.
She grabbed the host as he fled frantically, "Where are Riley and Brian?"
The host was so focused on escaping that he didn't remember where Riley and Brian were. He pointed in a random direction and said, "They're over there."
Scarlett looked in the direction of his finger.
The fire started on the stage.
Scarlett glanced around. "Where are your firefighting equipment? Where are they?"
"Firefighting facilities? What firefighting facilities?" The host looked up in confusion.
Scarlett took a deep breath as she thought of the world she lived in.
She let go of her hand, jumped onto the stage, grabbed the opening velvet cloth on the other side that had not been affected, and pulled it hard.
The moment the velvet fell, it covered her figure. She quickly took out the water gun in the space and sprayed all the water on the velvet. She wet the velvet, put it on her body, and rushed into the fire.
"Hey! Don't go! It's dangerous!"
The host's eyes widened in shock when she saw what Scarlett was doing.
But he had no choice but to run away, using his hands and feet to crawl towards the door.
…
…
fire!
Crazy jumping fire!
It completely flooded the sides of the stage.
Scarlett, wearing a smoke mask, looked around for Riley and Brian.
"Riley!"
"Brian!"
"Riley!"
"Brian!"
The charred beams fell down, blocking her progress several times, but she kicked them away each time.
…
…
Several males in the backstage were not far from the side of the stage. When they saw the fire, they knew it was a good opportunity to leave. They abandoned their luggage and fled in the chaos.
Lucas was drinking on the top floor. When he heard that the banquet hall was on fire, he ran downstairs in a panic and quickly organized people to put out the fire.
Riley and Brian knew they couldn't leave, so they took advantage of the chaos and hid in a pine cabinet farthest from the fire.
Brian clutched the soaked handkerchief nervously.
I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that everything would be alright.
He closed his eyes, and all he could think of was Scarlett.
The smoke rushed into the cabinet. It was not very thick, but his eyes felt painful and red, and he was about to cry.
"Scarlett..."
"When will you find me..."
"Can I wait for you alive?"
Just as I was thinking about it, several clear voices were heard outside the cabinet door.
"Brian!"
"Riley!"
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened his eyes and stared at the cabinet door in disbelief for a long time.
In the darkness.
All he could see was the flicker of fire on the edge of the cabinet door.
Is it an illusion?
"Brian!"
"Riley!"
“Where are you!”
But this time, the sound was closer and clearer!
He remembered Riley's instructions not to go out easily.
Pine cabinets are highly fire-resistant and can withstand fire for a long time, but it is easy to be choked by smoke when you go out, and you may be choked to death if you don’t burn to death.
But.
He actually heard Scarlett's voice and didn't want to miss it.
Brian mustered up his courage, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and pushed open the cabinet door.
The raging flames rushed towards us.
Before he could see clearly what was in front of him, he was rushed back by the flames.
His heart fell into despair in an instant.
Is this going to kill me?
However, the next second, a hand reached out and handed him a smoke mask, "Brian! Be careful! Put on the mask before you come out."
He looked at the hand.
The hands were covered in black ash, with distinct finger joints, and looked slender but full of strength.
He was stunned for a moment, reached out to take the oxygen mask, put it on, and walked out of the pine cabinet impatiently.
The fires around were almost out.
Only black smoke was still billowing.
In a hazy state.
Brian saw Scarlett holding a water gun and frantically putting out the fire.
He couldn't help but pounce on him.
"Scarlett!"
The force was so great that it almost knocked Scarlett down.
Scarlett steadied herself, smiled and patted him a few times to comfort him, then shoved the water gun into his hand and said, "I'll leave this one to you. I'll go find Riley."
Riley hid in another pine cabinet.
I had heard Scarlett's voice a long time ago.
He thought it was an illusion.
Or thought Scarlett would leave after saving Brian.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of him.
But Scarlett didn't.
She still remembers him.
Riley smiled, and color returned to his pale face.
Before he could go out, the cabinet door was already opened.
Scarlett squatted at the door, tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, with a faint light flowing, "I found you."
Riley smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. "Your Highness."
Scarlett shoved a new smoke mask and water gun into Riley's hands. "Riley, the fires in this area are out. You're all safe now. Help put them out. I'm going to look for Ashley. He's still in the basement hall. I'm afraid the fire will spread."
Riley put on his smoke mask and gripped the water gun tightly, "Okay."
…
…
The banquet hall for the bonfire party was on the first floor, very close to the basement hall. Once a fire broke out, the fire would affect everything below and above.
When thick smoke choked into the basement hall.
No one reacted yet.
Until the flames rolled in.
Everyone was startled, and their first reaction was to jump onto chairs to avoid the fire rolling from the ground.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Put out the fire!"
Anxious shouts were heard from outside.
Kress looked at the fire, and suddenly felt relieved and happy. "That's great. I don't have to wait for her anymore."
Ashley said, "What's good about that? There's a fire, run!"
Kresh shook his head. "We can't run around. Without a female to lead us away, we can only stay here."
"Why?"
"rule."
Ashley was stunned.
This is indeed the rule of this world.
Males have no choice and must obey the arrangements of females throughout their lives.
Follow your mother at home.
After marriage, you must follow the female master.
Scarlett wanted him to stay here, so he had to stay here.
The character cannot expose himself.
Ashley looked towards the door.
In such a dangerous situation, will Scarlett remember him? Or will Scarlett be safe?
No! He's going to...
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open!
Scarlett walked in carrying a water gun, "Ashley, where are you?!"
Ashley's eyes lit up.
