strangeness
Do you want to go over and help her skewer the barbecue?
Xu Xi frowned, turned to look at Chen Shuning's back, and asked in a joking tone:
"What's wrong? Is there a fire at home? Why are you so anxious?"
But she never expected that her joke would actually lead to a fire over there.
Xiao Mu's voice became anxious at this time, almost as if she was about to cry. "It's really on fire."
Xu Xi felt something was wrong with the voice and stood up straight with a serious expression. "What did you say? Where's the fire?"
"My barbecue restaurant, come and help me quickly, the fire truck is stuck on the road, my barbecue restaurant is going to be destroyed."
Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant caught fire? How could this happen?
"I'll be there now." After hearing this, Xu Xi also became anxious. She hung up the phone in a hurry, walked quickly into the house, and talked to Chen Shuning in the house while walking anxiously.
"Shuning, I have something urgent to do now, so I have to go back first."
When they got inside, they saw Chen Shuning holding two coffee cups in his hands. He hadn't even had time to make any coffee yet. Xu Xi hurriedly added, "I'll have the coffee next time. I have something urgent to do right now. Let's meet again next time."
Chen Shuning put down the two cups in her hands and took two steps to catch up. When they reached the entrance together, she watched Xu Xi hurriedly put on her shoes. She asked:
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" He left as soon as he received a phone call.
There was nothing to hide about this, it only took a few words. So Xu Xi told Chen Shuning directly.
While Xu Xi was putting on his shoes, he quickly told her, "My friend's barbecue restaurant, the one where we had barbecue a few days ago, caught fire. I don't know what's going on, so I need to go over there and see if I can help you."
Is there a fire? Would it be dangerous for her to go over and help?
Chen Shuning watched Xu Xi put on her shoes, and without saying a word, he also changed into shoes.
"I'll go with you."
"Ah?" Chen Shuning wanted to go with her.
Xu Xi put on her shoes and was stunned for a moment when she heard Chen Shuning say this, but she didn't have much time to refuse Chen Shuning. Now she just wanted to get to Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant as soon as possible to see if she could salvage something.
"Let's go." Xu Xi waited for Chen Shuning to put on his shoes, and then they went out together.
Xu Xi drove the car, and the two of them arrived at Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant in a short while.
The windows and glass doors of Xiao Mu's newly opened barbecue restaurant had been smashed due to the urgent need to put out a fire. There were many broken glass fragments on the ground, and thick black smoke was coming out of the barbecue restaurant.
As soon as Xu Xi got out of the car, she saw Xiao Mu sitting on the ground crying not far away. Several store employees were standing next to her, and they also seemed to be frightened.
She trotted over, squatted in front of Xiao Mu, and held her face in her hands.
"Xiao Mu, are you hurt?"
Xiao Mu shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I wasn't hurt, but, but my new store is gone. Woo woo woo."
Xu Xi helped her up from the ground and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, as long as you're okay, we can earn more if we lose these things. At worst, we can just redecorate the house."
After the fire truck arrived, it put out all the fire inside. Finally, after two or three hours of investigation, there were no dangerous and flammable items left, and the cause of the fire was found to be a gas leak that caused an explosion.
Fortunately, all the staff in the store were outside skewering skewers together at the time, and no one was in the kitchen, so no one was injured when the explosion occurred. This is still considered lucky.
The fire truck left, and the store employees went back home. By this time, it was completely dark.
Xiao Mu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked into his barbecue restaurant, wanting to take a look at the situation inside.
Xu Xi was worried about her going in alone, so she took out her cell phone, turned on the flashlight and followed her in.
"Xiao Mu, be careful. There's a lot of glass on the ground."
At this time, a light shone from behind. Xu Xi turned around and saw Chen Shuning holding up the light of his mobile phone, following behind her. She frowned and almost forgot to tell Chen Shuning to wait outside, because it was not certain what kind of danger there would be inside. Before going in, Xu Xi said to Chen Shuning:
"Shuning, there may still be some danger in there, so you just wait outside for a while. I'll go in with Xiaomu to see the situation inside and come out soon." She didn't want Chen Shuning to get hurt. No one knew what the situation was like inside. It must be very dirty, and she didn't want Chen Shuning to go in and dirty herself.
However, Chen Shuning insisted on following in.
"It's okay, I'll go in with you."
Xu Xi: "But..."
As soon as Chen Shuning finished speaking, he walked forward, giving Xu Xi almost no chance to stop him.
Xu Xi stood there in a daze for two seconds. For some reason, she felt a strange feeling growing in her heart. Only now did she have time to think carefully about some problems.
Why did Chen Shuning follow? Why did he go in with her? They had only known each other for two or three days.
What a strange feeling.
Could this be an illusion?
A feeling of "being cared for" flashed through Xu Xi's heart.
She looked at Chen Shuning who was walking in front of her, and had another guess in her mind: Chen Shuning might be the same as herself. She fell in love with her at first sight when she saw her for the first time a few days ago.
