Chapter 7: Missing You Like a Burning Fire 3
As he was walking, he suddenly looked back, and the moment he turned around, he inadvertently saw the faint flames rising from the building behind him!
Xinan was shocked and could hardly believe what he saw. Thinking that Yige might still be in the building and in danger, he immediately turned around and ran towards the building.
Yige, nothing must happen to you!
Please don't let anything happen...
"Someone... help..."
Yige curled up in a corner as far away from the flames as possible, and the sound was getting smaller and smaller.
Although she knew that there would be no one in the building at this time, her instinct for survival made her continue to shout with a glimmer of hope.
The fire spread quickly, the temperature of the house gradually increased, and smoke began to fill the air. Yige was choked and coughed repeatedly.
She smiled bitterly. It seemed that she might not be burned to death, but choked to death first. She wanted to find something to cover her mouth and nose, but after groping for a while exhausted, she couldn't find anything.
The firelight became brighter and brighter, the heat burned her face and eyes, steaming all her senses, as if she could enter another world at any time...
She couldn't help but sigh. The scene before her was so similar to that day. It was all because of her own willfulness...
She closed her eyes in despair, and a similar scene suddenly appeared in her mind...
That day, after breaking up with Xi Nan, she ran home with tears all over her face. As soon as she got home, she threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.
My heart, why does it hurt so much? It hurts so much.
Xi Nan, why did you do that? Do you like me or Mei Hui?
As proud as she was, she didn't have the courage to question him. She was afraid that his answer was another girl, so she had to give up first. She thought she would feel better, but she didn't expect that she would still feel so sad...
She locked herself in her room for a whole day.
In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, Sister Qiu knocked on the door several times but Yige didn't answer, so Sister Qiu had to push the door open and come in: "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Oh, Sister Qiu," she hurriedly wiped her tears and said calmly, "It's nothing."
Sister Qiu sat in front of her with a look of both anger and amusement, and wiped her tears with a tissue: "Miss, I watched you grow up, don't I know what you're thinking? Did you have a fight with Master Xinan?"
Yige turned his back and said, "No, who quarreled with him?"
Sister Qiu knew that Yige was always proud and would definitely not admit it, so she smiled and asked, "Then Master Xinan made you angry, didn't he?"
Yige's disguised strength was seen through and she couldn't help sobbing again.
Sister Qiu came over and put her arm around her shoulders: "Okay, Miss, listen to me, Master Xinan really likes you very much, you can tell from the way he looks at you. Don't be angry with him for too long, or he will be very anxious."
Yi Ge choked up and said, "No, he doesn't like me very much. I saw him hugging a girl..." As she spoke, she felt aggrieved again, hugged Sister Qiu's shoulders, and cried softly.
Sister Qiu was startled: "Which girl? Is it Zheng Meihui?" Yi Ge raised her head in surprise, tears still in her eyes: "What, you know her?"
Sister Qiu said thoughtfully, "I saw her walking with Master Xinan, and her mother and Master Xinan's mother. Later, when Master Xinan came to our house, I asked him. He said that she was the daughter of his mother's good friend and they grew up together. Yige, Sister Qiu is also so old now, and she still knows how to judge people. I can see that Master Xinan only has eyes for you, and he can't have room for other girls. You see how much he cares about you."
Yi Ge said blankly: "Well, I saw him hugging that girl with my own eyes..."
Sister Qiu was surprised to hear this: "How could it be, Miss? Are you saying that Master Xinan is with other girls?"
Yi Ge was stunned, remembering the night before, when she found Xi Nan's phone still in her bag, so she ran out to call Xi Nan, but when she walked to the street, she saw Mei Hui smiling like a flower, hugging Xi Nan's neck tightly with her arms...
She couldn't recall that scene anymore, but she couldn't help but recall it!
She choked up and spoke to Sister Qiu incoherently. Maybe, it would be better if she spoke. If he liked Meihui... so what? Ignore him, never again, break up, and cut off all ties!
But why does my heart hurt so much?
Sister Qiu said softly, "I didn't like the girl named Meihui the moment I saw her. She dressed like a doll, but the look in her eyes was not innocent at all. She seemed like a scheming girl. Master Xinan wouldn't like a girl like that. Have you asked Master Xinan about this matter? Is there any misunderstanding?"
Yi Ge nodded slightly, and then she realized how ridiculous it was for her to break up without asking Xi Nan. She suddenly became worried. With Xi Nan's personality, he was misunderstood, and she wanted to break up with him. Could he bear such a blow? If Xi Nan was not wrong in this matter, then he was wronged.
Yi Ge couldn't bear it any longer, she jumped out of bed and said, "Sister Qiu, I'm going out for a while." Then she hurried to the door to change her shoes.
Sister Qiu hurried out: "Miss, please go after you finish your meal. Look, it's very late and you haven't eaten yet."
Yi Ge was anxious: "No, Sister Qiu, I'll be back soon. I have to see Xinan before I can calm down to eat. Now, even if the delicacies are placed in front of me, I have no mood to eat." She had changed her shoes while speaking, "Then I'll go out, Sister Qiu." Before she finished speaking, her figure had disappeared outside the door.
Yige raised his hand to call a car and drove towards Xinan's house.
She had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to see Xi Nan standing in front of her safely, so that she could feel relieved.
"Master, please drive faster, faster!"
Along the way, Yige kept urging us on.
The fat driver said helplessly: "Miss, this is already my fastest speed. If I go any faster, I will be fined. Please be patient, we will be there soon."
There was no way to sing, so I had to sit down.
Her eyes were fixed straight ahead.
Finally they arrived. Yige threw down a banknote: "Master, thank you, no need for change." Then he rushed to Xinan's house in a hurry.
I ran to his door, sang a song to calm myself, and knocked gently.
The door creaked open and Yi Ge said anxiously, "Xinan..." He froze in the middle of his words.
Behind the door , she saw a familiar face with drunken eyes.
Xinan was obviously surprised to see her, and said incoherently: "Yi Ge, why... are you here? I just... wanted to find... you..." It seemed that he was quite drunk.
Yi Ge screamed and quickly stepped forward to support Xinan: "Have you been drinking? Xinan, why did you drink so much? You never drink!"
Xi Nan let her support him, staggering towards the room, laughing as he walked: "Yi...Ge...seeing you...haha...it's so nice, if I wasn't drunk, how could I...haha...see...you?"
Yi Ge only frowned secretly and said softly, "How come you are so drunk?" She felt that the room was unusually bright, and when she looked up, she was stunned.
It turned out that the room was filled with white candles, all of which had been lit one by one. The candles were arranged in the shape of a heart, and the dancing candlelight was like countless twinkling stars, illuminating the room as bright as day.
Xinan looked at her with eyes wide open, and his every breath was filled with the pungent smell of alcohol: "Didn't you say you didn't want to be with me?" He laughed at himself, "You obviously know how important you are to me. If you can't be with me, then what's the meaning of life? You no longer smile at me, no longer meet me, no longer talk to me... From now on, I will never see your smile, your eyes, or even your pouting mouth when you are angry... Then, what's the meaning of life?" He repeated, and suddenly said sadly, "Yige, why are you doing this... Why do you want to break up with me?"
He waved his hands and grabbed at the air, Yige quickly hugged him, and they both fell to the ground.
Yi Ge felt extremely guilty and upset, knowing that Xi Nan drank so much because she broke up with him and treated him so cruelly, and he was so sad that he did something that he would never do under normal circumstances.
Before she could say anything, Xinan suddenly laughed, pointed at the candle and said, "You... when you used to go to church with me, you said you liked the children in the choir walking around with candles in their hands, like little angels... I thought at that time that on your birthday or some other day, I would put a candle-shaped heart for you downstairs of your house so that you could feel my love, the eternal love from my heart... but..." He lowered his head sadly, his lips turned pale, and he remained silent.
Yige apologized softly: "Xinan, I'm sorry, I was too willful. Seeing you and Meihui together, I was very sad. I broke up with you without asking you and made you so sad. I will never treat you like this again. Xinan, look into my eyes, look at me," she gently held Xinan's head. Xinan's face was red from the alcohol. She looked into his eyes distressedly, "I believe you, Xinan, you didn't mean it. I want to hear your explanation. I am willing to give you a chance."
Xinan became more sober and murmured, "Yige, are you really willing to give me another chance? Really?" He spoke more coherently at this time, as if he suddenly didn't believe this surprise that fell from the sky. He stared at her in a daze.
Yi Ge said softly, "Really." She looked at the many flickering candles around her and felt a little scared for some reason. "Xinan, how about this? I'll help you go back to your room to rest for a while, and then I'll help you clean up here." As she said that, she helped Xinan walk towards the bedroom.
Xi Nan stared at her without blinking, as if afraid that she would fly away if he blinked, and said stubbornly: "No, I will just sit next to you and watch you clean up."
His arms struggled unconsciously, but he couldn't control his body and fell heavily to the ground.
Yi Ge hurried forward: "Xi Nan, are you okay?"
Xinan stared blankly ahead: "I'm fine...but, there..."
Yi Ge didn't understand what he meant, so he turned around and was stunned. It turned out that when Xinan fell, he actually knocked over a few candles, and the candle flames just fell on the tablecloth on the wooden floor, and the tablecloth was already on fire.
Yi Ge was so frightened that she was stunned, but she immediately forced herself to calm down. She said loudly to Xinan, "Xinan, sit still and don't move!" While looking for something to put out the fire, she couldn't find anything in her panic. Yi Ge made up her mind, quickly took off her coat, and put out the flames.
But due to her inexperience, her efforts seemed to be of no avail, and the fire spread unexpectedly quickly. Soon, the whole table became a fireball.
The raging fire illuminated Yi Ge's face red. Xi Nan struggled to crawl over and shouted, "Yi Ge, be careful!"
Yi Ge turned around and saw him trying to stand up, and shouted, "Xi Nan, don't move!"
Xinan had been sobered up by the fright. He gritted his teeth and stood up, but found that his hands and feet were out of control. He shook his head in annoyance, knowing that it was because he drank too much.
The wooden floor soon caught fire as well, the heat steamed over their faces, burning them painfully, and choking smoke began to fill the air.
Xinan's eyes were filled with tears and his vision gradually blurred. He called out anxiously and worriedly: "Yi Ge, where are you?"
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger and out of control, Yige decided to take Xinan away from here first. But the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and she choked several times and almost fainted.
She was at a loss when she suddenly saw a small cup of water on the small coffee table. She ran over, took out her handkerchief, poured all the water on it, and then ran to Xi Nan and covered Xi Nan's mouth and nose with the soaked handkerchief. This was an emergency escape method she had read in a book, which could prevent the thick smoke from choking her nose.
Then, she used all her strength to help Xi Nan up, and the two of them staggered towards the door.
The usually short distance became difficult to walk at this moment. In the process, burnt objects kept falling with flames. Yi Ge gritted his teeth, covered Xinan's mouth and nose with a handkerchief with his right hand, and leaned slightly, because about one meter above the ground, the remaining oxygen was the most densely populated place.
Sure enough, he could breathe a little oxygen occasionally, and Yige took a deep breath.
Xinan said vaguely through his handkerchief: "Yi Ge, don't worry about me, go first. You..." There was an expression of sadness and happiness in his eyes.
Yes, Yige loves himself . Knowing this, what does it matter if he dies immediately?
Even if you die, you will feel happy, right?
Yi Ge felt that Xinan was as heavy as a mountain. His entire body weight was almost on her, making her almost unable to breathe... But no matter how heavy the weight was, she would never give up!
Because that is where all her joy and love lies.
So she said softly: "Xinan, don't talk nonsense. Even if the situation is ten times more dangerous than it is now, I will not abandon you." As she spoke, she inhaled a few more puffs of thick smoke and choked several times. She suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
Her eyes were tearing up from the thick smoke, and she gritted her teeth, trying to find her way in the chaos and walked towards the door.
Normally, when I come to Xi Nan's house to play, it takes less than a minute to walk from the door to the room, but now it seems so far away, as if this road will never end...
But she still encouraged Xi Nan with a firm voice: "Xi Nan, believe me, we can definitely get out of this." She smiled, and suddenly stretched out her right hand and gently pressed it on Xi Nan's chest.
She murmured, "Xinan, have you forgotten? My hands have the power to listen to love. Now, I have heard the voice in your heart."
She looked at him steadily with smiling eyes: "Xinan..."
Xi Nan followed the sound and traced her eyes. In the smoke, he seemed to see her eyes as beautiful as black gemstones, shining brightly. And her arms, as delicate and white as jade, reflected the firelight, and were breathtakingly beautiful.
This is an indescribably beautiful painting. In Xinan's eyes, Yi Ge now exudes a holy glow that is incomparable.
Suddenly, tremendous courage rose in his heart!
He couldn't help but say in a hoarse voice: "Yi Ge, don't worry, I won't give up... For you, I must hold on, together, we can definitely get out of this!" He was isolated from the smoke by the wet handkerchief, so it was easier for him to speak.
Yi Ge's eyes were moist and she nodded gently.
The two of them did not relax their feet while talking. Although it was difficult to walk, they still moved step by step. Seeing that they were about to reach the gate, Yige breathed a sigh of relief. OK, just five more steps, five more steps and we can go out, we can go out!
It was because of my own willfulness that I caused such an inexplicable fire... From now on, I will never be willful to Xinan again, Yige said to herself silently in her heart.
But at this moment, a piece of furniture that was on fire and could no longer be recognized fell straight towards Xinan's head!
Yi Ge was shocked, and without much time to think, he stretched out his right arm to block and protect Xinan's head! With a "bang", although the heavy furniture was blocked by Yi Ge's right arm, part of it still hit Xinan's head heavily, and when it fell, Yi Ge's arm was also pressed under the furniture.
It hurt, excruciating pain, as if a poisonous snake was devouring her delicate arm!
She wanted to cry, to scream, to shout loudly! But now there was no time! And no one would come to save them except herself!
Yi Ge saw Xi Nan lying on the ground, knocked unconscious, gritted her teeth, and shouted to him: "Xi Nan, wake up! You must not be in any harm!"
But Xinan didn't react at all. There was no time to think about anything else. She closed her eyes, bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, pressed her left hand on her right arm, and used all her strength to pull it out.
Little by little... beads of sweat kept appearing on Yige's head, and were constantly evaporated by the flames. Finally, she pulled her right arm out!
Her eyes were filled with tears from the pain, but she didn't bother to check her injuries. She quickly crawled to Xi Nan's side: " Xi Nan, wake up! Xi Nan!"
Xi Nan still didn't react at all. Yi Ge was sad and anxious, and didn't care about anything anymore. She lay down and pushed Xi Nan onto her back with her left hand.
She carried Xinan's tall body on her frail body and staggered towards the door without hesitation!
When Yige stepped out of the threshold, her heart suddenly calmed down.
She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she still carried Xi Nan on her back and ran forward for seven or eight meters before she collapsed to the ground exhausted. She had no strength left in her body, and she felt that breathing was also very labored.
She turned around and saw that the house was completely on fire, the raging fire almost lit up the sky. But they had escaped! Escaped!
Yi Ge cried out with tears in her eyes: "Xinan, we succeeded, we got out! Xinan..." Her tears fell on Xinan's face. She relaxed a little and suddenly felt weak all over. She felt dizzy and fainted. She knew nothing...
At this time, the same fire...
Amid the crackling sound of the fire, she huddled in a corner, her face full of tears but a peaceful smile on her lips.
If there is another life, she will definitely stop quarreling after meeting Xi Nan. She will stop being suspicious, jealous, and willful. She will treat him well and make him happy every day. The two of them will be together happily forever and will never be separated...
