People gradually escaped from the hotel. The fire was very big and many people who came out late had their hands or feet burned by the fire.
Su Zhiyuan handed his brother to the bodyguard who had also escaped, and called to send someone over.
Su Ci felt stiff and cold all over. She couldn't hear what her brother was saying, nor could she hear little Suning crying for his mother, and she couldn't hear the wails of the injured around them.
She remembered the day she died, and seeing the indifference of the people around her, her body didn't feel so cold.
Su Ci's eyes were fixed on the hotel where the fire was bursting out of the window and spreading larger and larger.
Lu Zhe was also inside, and he went in to look for her.
Su Ci recalled that last night on the phone, Lu Zhe asked her where the party was held, and she told him casually without giving it much thought.
It turns out that he was in City B yesterday.
Boss Fang looked at the fierce fire, his eyes were red, his forehead was full of sweat from the surrounding heat, and his voice was choked with sobs, "I should have stopped Xiaozhe from going in."
They were obviously happy to come to City B, preparing to find a place to start a company, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Lu Zhe was caught in a sea of fire and his life or death was unknown.
He glanced at Su Ci and saw the little girl standing there in a daze. Her usually fair face looked exceptionally pale in the light of the fire.
I don't know where He Ermeng found a clean towel. He poured pure water on the towel and said, "Ci Ci, your face and hands are dirty. Let me help you wipe them."
Compared to the dishevel of others, He Ermeng's body was relatively clean and tidy, making him more conspicuous in the crowd.
As he spoke, he reached out with a towel and wanted to help Su Ci wipe the dust off her face.
Su Ci turned her head away to avoid his hand, "None of your business."
"Ci Ci, the firefighters will be here soon. Uncle Su and Aunt Su will be fine." He Ermeng knew that the girl was upset, so he comforted her in a deep voice, with no playful expression on his handsome face.
Su Ci ignored him.
She regained her senses a little and called out to Fugui, "Lu Zhe still has more than three years of life left. Does that mean he won't die now?"
Normally, she would not ask such a low-level question about wealth, but now she urgently needs a definite answer.
Fugui: Master, Lu Zhe has more than three years of life value, which means he will die in three years.
Hearing this, Su Ci felt her numb body gradually regain consciousness. She didn't dare to ask Fugui whether her father and mother were dead in there.
She had been successful every time she rescued people before, so Su Ci thought there would be no problem this time and that she could successfully rescue Su's father and mother.
However, she overestimated her abilities.
Su Ci's lips were almost pursed into a straight line, with a pale tinge.
She regretted that she had too many concerns just now. Su Ci felt that she should take Su's father and mother away forcefully.
The surroundings were in chaos.
Firefighters and ambulances arrived.
He Ermeng wanted to protect Su Ci and keep her away from him, as he was worried that other people might run into Su Ci.
However, the girl was very stubborn and didn't want him to touch her at all, so he could only stand aside and watch. He called the He family to report that he was safe, but the old man urged him to go back.
He Ermeng glanced at Su Ci next to him and didn't feel at ease to leave. Su's father and mother were still in the hotel. If they really died in the fire, I'm afraid the Su family will be in turmoil for some time to come.
The only person he cared about was Su Ci.
"Ci Ci, you go back first?" The expression on Su Zhiyuan's delicate face was not very good, with a heavy look between his brows. His parents' life and death were uncertain, and the most important thing for him now was to settle his sister and brother.
Su Ci shook her head. Her face was pale and even her lips were dry. "Brother, I won't leave."
She wanted to wait for Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother to come out.
Inside the hotel, there was fire everywhere, and the scorching temperature and thick smoke almost suffocated people.
Su's mother kept coughing as she tried hard to lift the heavy object on her husband's back.
Her husband was unconscious, and as the fire was about to spread, Su's mother fell into despair.
At this moment, a figure passed by.
The young man looked at the fire around him and saw that a woman not far away and a man on the ground were about to be engulfed by the fire.
His eyes darkened, and Lu Zhe pulled out the tablecloth from the long dining table. He took the bottles of mineral water next to them and poured them on the tablecloth, then draped the tablecloth over himself and rushed over.
"Please, save my husband." When Su's mother saw the young man rushing in from the fire, she was shocked, but hope burned in her eyes.
Lu Zhe threw the wet tablecloth to Su's mother, and went forward to move the heavy object that had fallen on Su's father.
The veins on Lu Zhe's arms popped out. He gritted his teeth and lifted the heavy object that was hitting the man hard.
"You help hold him, I'll carry him." Lu Zhe said in a deep voice.
Su's mother quickly stood up and helped the boy carry her husband.
The fire is about to burn me.
Lu Zhe was carrying Su's father on his back when he suddenly stumbled and almost fell into the fire with Su's father.
Su's mother was startled.
Lu Zhe steadied his steps and gritted his teeth to endure the sudden muscle twitching.
"Put on the cloth and let's rush out." Lu Zhe said to Su's mother beside him.
Su's mother quickly picked up the wet tablecloth, draped it over herself, and then put the other half on her husband.
She followed the boy out of the fire circle, only to find that the front had also turned into a sea of fire.
Su's mother looked at the boy in panic and said, "Just run away. Don't worry about us. The sooner you can escape, the sooner you can." Her husband was still unconscious. She could see that the boy had a hard time carrying her husband on his back. He was completely dragged down by them.
Lu Zhe's forehead was covered with sweat. He clenched his jaw and looked at the raging fire in front of him. He turned sideways and kicked open the door in the corridor with his foot.
The door did not move.
Lu Zhe put Su's father down and kicked the door hard again.
After kicking the door hard for more than ten times, the door lock loosened with a "click".
Lu Zhe gave a final kick and the door opened.
Before the fire spread into the room, Lu Zhe rushed in.
He looked around and found that there were no windows in the room, and all the glass was sealed. He walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet to the maximum, and wet several towels beside him.
"Cover your nose." Lu Zhe handed a towel to Su's mother, "Let's go over there. The fire is smaller over there."
Su's mother took the towel gratefully. If it weren't for the young man in front of her, she and her husband would probably have died in the fire.
Lu Zhe wrapped another towel in front of Su's father.
He carried the other person on his back again.
Su Ci's legs were numb from standing. She stared at the hotel entrance, praying that the firefighters could rescue Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother.
"Ci Ci, drink some water." He Ermeng looked at Su Ci's dry lips and unscrewed the mineral water bottle.
Su Ci didn't answer.
Little Suning has been sent home by bodyguards, and his elder brother is also arranging personnel to assist the firefighters to buy more time to rescue people.
Boss Fang had been standing not far away, anxiously waiting for Lu Zhe to come out.
The girl's fair face was covered in dust and her lips were dry, but this did not diminish her beauty at all. Instead, she had the pitiful beauty of a fairy in distress.
He Ermeng felt that he could never get tired of looking at Su Ci's beautiful and delicate face.
Just when He Ermeng wanted to ask Su Ci if she was hungry, he saw the girl's eyes suddenly light up and the corners of her lips curled up.
The next second, Su Ci picked up her dress and ran over.
He looked over and saw a tall young man carrying Su's father out, and Su's mother followed behind with a panicked look on her face.
Su's father and mother both came out, they were not dead.
Su Ci and Su Zhiyuan saw their parents and ran over quickly.
Lu Zhe asked the medical staff to help Su's father off his back and send him to the hospital.
When Su Zhiyuan saw his parents, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks to this young man who saved me and your father." Su's mother looked at Lu Zhe with gratitude. She thought she and her husband would be burned to death.
"It's you?" Su Zhiyuan looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that the boy who had taken care of his sister would now save his parents. This boy really had a connection with their Su family.
"Zhiyuan, do you know him?"
"He is the Lu Zhe I told you about. He was the one who had been taking care of Xiao Ci." Su Zhiyuan glanced at his sister next to him and lowered his gaze. "Mom, you go to the hospital with Dad first. I'll take my brother home. I'll take my sister to the hospital to see you later."
Su's mother inhaled a lot of smoke and felt a little uncomfortable. She was also worried about Su's father's health, and finally followed the medical staff into the ambulance.
Su Zhiyuan called to arrange for someone to go to the hospital and wait so that someone could take care of Su's father and mother as soon as possible. The Su family held a banquet here today, but an accident suddenly occurred. He also had to investigate whether the fire was man-made or accidental.
"Lu Zhe." Su Ci looked at the embarrassed boy in front of her with bright eyes, "Thank you for rescuing my parents."
Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't know they were your parents." But he was very glad that he could save them.
"Thank you anyway." Su Ci moved closer to him, "Uncle Fang said you went into the hotel to find me. How could you be so stupid to go in even though you knew there was a fire inside."
Lu Zhe looked deep.
Then he heard the girl say, "But I love it when you lose your mind for me."
Su Ci's eyes were bright. "You must think I'm very important, more important than yourself, that's why you risked your life to save me."
She asked him worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Lu Zhe: "No."
His eyes fell on the girl's face, and he saw that there was dust on the left side of her face. He raised his hand and reached out to her face.
"Snap!" A crisp sound was heard.
"Who told you to touch her?" It was He Ermeng who fiercely knocked Lu Zhe's hand down. His handsome brows were filled with murderous intent, and he looked at Lu Zhe sharply.
"He Ermeng, you're crazy." Su Ci glared at He Ermeng. She grabbed Lu Zhe's hand that had just been slapped and placed it on her face. "He can touch me however he wants."
"Su Ci!" He Ermeng looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Su Ci actually let this boy touch her face.
Su Ci was unwilling to pay attention to He Ermeng. She looked at Lu Zhe and said, "My face is dirty. Please help me clean it."
The girl's words sounded like a spoiled child, but they made He Ermeng feel as if his heart was stabbed by a knife, causing him pain and soreness.
Just now he wanted to wipe her face, but she flatly refused. But now, she actually took the initiative to let this boy who came out of nowhere wipe her face!
He Ermeng's eyes flushed red, the sharpness in his eyes faded, and he looked at Su Ci with wet eyes, "Ci Ci, I can also help you wipe your face."
"I don't need you, I just want him!" Su Ci refused clearly.
Lu Zhe looked at his dusty hands and took them back.
Su Ci's eyes darkened and she wanted to say something to him.
Lu Zhe rubbed his hands on his clothes for a few times, wiped his palms, and then turned over and rubbed the backs of his hands a few times. He stretched out his hand again, and his cold fingertips touched Su Ci's face.
His rough fingertips gently wiped the dust off her face.
He Ermeng just wanted to beat the man to death. He gritted his teeth and said, "The person who answered the phone for you that day was him, right?"
"So what if it's him." Su Ci felt better when she saw that Lu Zhe and Su's father and mother were safe.
Before, He Ermeng wanted to send people to City D to investigate, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
He wanted to ask Su Ci if she liked this boy, but when he saw Su Ci's attitude of supporting the other party, he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
He was worried about the answer.
He Ermeng stared at Lu Zhe touching Su Ci's face, and he wanted to chop off his hand.
Lu Zhe's expression was indifferent. He wiped the dust off the girl's face and quickly withdrew his hand. He looked coldly at the man named He Ermeng and knew that he was the one who was bothering her that Su Ci mentioned before.
The two looked at each other and the atmosphere became tense.
Su Zhiyuan came over after finishing the call, "Ci Ci, let's go to the hospital to see mom and dad."
Su Ci looked at Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe: "You go ahead."
Su Zhiyuan looked at Lu Zhe, "Thank you for saving my parents. I will remember your kindness to the Su family."
Lu Zhe's eyes were a little deep, "I'm just doing what I should do." Even if the other party was not Su Ci's parents, he would save them.
"No matter what, our Su family owes you two favors." Su Zhiyuan was indeed very grateful to the young man in front of him. He knew that if it weren't for him, his parents might not have survived until the firefighters arrived. "There are still many things to do today. I will thank you properly another day."
Su Zhiyuan took the reluctant Su Ci away.
Seeing Su Ci leave, Boss Fang rushed to Lu Zhe's side, "Xiao Zhe, are you okay?"
Lu Zhe shook his head, "I'm fine."
"You really scared me to death. I thought..." Boss Fang quickly said "Pooh" and threw away the bad thoughts in his mind. "I'm so glad you're okay."
At his age, he was almost scared to death.
Now that Su Ci has left, there is no need for He Ermeng to stay.
Before leaving, he stared at Lu Zhe fiercely, licked his upper jaw with his tongue, and said coldly: "I will remember you. If you don't want to be killed by me, stay away from Su Ci."
He has guarded Su Ci for three years, and Su Ci is his.
Lu Zhe's expression was cold, and his dark eyes met He Ermeng's scrutiny directly, "Whatever you want." Anyway, he wouldn't live long without the other party taking action.
He Ermeng has always been a bully in school. Even in the wealthy family, other peers have to follow his lead. This is the first time he has met someone who is not afraid of him. He gave the other person a sarcastic look. He has heard a lot of verbal abuse, but in the end, those people were still beaten to the ground by him.
Finally, He Ermeng curled the corners of his mouth mockingly and left.
"Xiao Zhe, I heard that man's surname is He." Boss Fang was worried about Lu Zhe. The other party had such an arrogant personality and his surname was He. The only family that was qualified to have dealings with the Su family was the He family.
The other party was not someone that ordinary lower-class citizens like them could afford to offend.
He could see that the young man surnamed He liked Su Ci, and Su Ci should like Lu Zhe, and Lu Zhe should also like Su Ci, so the young man surnamed He wanted to make trouble for Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe has no power or influence, so it is easy for him to suffer losses.
"Uncle Fang, don't worry, it's okay." Lu Zhe patted Boss Fang to get him back to his senses, "We still have to look at the venue."
Boss Fang did not forget the purpose of coming to City B this time. He looked at Lu Zhe with a troubled expression, "Are you okay? Why don't we go back to the hotel and rest for a while and go see it later." There was such a big fire inside, and Lu Zhe saved people. He himself was also ill, and he was worried that Lu Zhe would be too tired.
"I'm fine, let's hurry up and see more places." They bought plane tickets for tomorrow, and time was running out.
Boss Fang certainly knew their situation. He sighed and said, "Okay, let's go."
... ...
In the evening, Su Ci and Su Zhiyuan took a car back home from the hospital.
Su's father has woken up, but his back is seriously injured and he needs to be hospitalized for a while. Su's mother stays in the hospital to take care of him.
Little Su Ning was sitting at the dining table by himself. When he saw Su Zhiyuan and Su Ci coming back, his big black eyes lit up, "Brother, sister."
The little guy must have been scared after experiencing the fire scene today. His father and mother, as well as his brothers and sisters were not at home. He cried several times and the servants had to coax him for a long time before he calmed down.
Su Ci stepped forward and touched little Su Ning's head, "Is Ning Ning well behaved at home?"
Little Suning completely forgot that he had been crying for a long time. He nodded, "Be good."
"Mom and Dad are busy and won't be home for a few days. Can your sister take care of you?" Su Ci asked him.
Little Suning has always liked his sister. Now his sister doesn't think he is a little trouble. He likes playing with his sister. He answered in a baby voice: "Okay."
Su Ci patted his head again, "So good."
When Su Zhiyuan saw that his sister was willing to take care of her brother, tenderness appeared in his eyes. He asked someone to send the meal to the study. Today's events had a great impact and he had a lot of things to deal with.
After Su Ci finished her meal with little Suning, she asked someone to take the little guy to take a bath.
Back in the room, Su Ci called Lu Zhe directly.
Just a few seconds after ringing, the call was connected.
"Lu Zhe, where are you now?" Su Ci was sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing the dress she wore to the banquet and had not had time to change out.
" What's wrong?"
The young man's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was some noise around.
"Tell me where you are and I'll come find you later." The location was not suitable in the afternoon, and she didn't have a good talk to him, and she wanted to know why he suddenly came to City B.
Lu Zhe was having dinner with Boss Fang in a small restaurant near the hotel. The environment here was not very good, and it was crowded and noisy. How could Su Ci come to such a place
He lowered his eyes, "You don't have to come over, I'll find you later."
He knew she must want to see him.
Su Ci laughed, "I'll send you my home address."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhe met Boss Fang's gaze.
"Is it Xiaoci?" Boss Fang remembered that Lu Zhe seemed to have no other friends except Su Ci.
"Well, I'll go see her." Lu Zhe lowered his head and quickened his eating pace.
Boss Fang smiled and said, "We are leaving tomorrow. You should go meet Xiaoci. You won't be able to see each other for a long time."
After coming to City B, he had a deeper understanding of the Su family. Today, they visited many office buildings, several of which were owned by the Su family.
For the Su family, these office buildings are just small industries that are not worth mentioning.
The gap between Lu Zhe and Su Ci is an unseen abyss.
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Zhe took a taxi to the Su family.
After getting off the car, Lu Zhe sent a message to Su Ci: I'm at your door.
The Su family is like a castle in the center of the city, and Su Ci is the pampered princess in the castle.
After a while, the iron gate was opened.
Lu Zhe watched the delicate princess come out, while he stood in the darkness, like a devilish thief who was peeping at the princess.
"Lu Zhe."
Su Ci walked out. She looked at the tall boy standing in the dark under the tree and said unhappily, "Why are you standing there? I almost didn't see you."
Lu Zhe walked out from the darkness and stood under the street light. The warm yellow light softened his cold features. He asked the girl, "Have you eaten?"
"Eat it." Su Ci walked up to him, took his hand directly, and wanted to pull him into the Su family.
Lu Zhe did not move. He looked at the girl indifferently, "I'm not going in."
"Do you want me to stand at the door and chat with you? I will be very tired." Su Ci pulled up the hem of her dress and stretched out her feet for Lu Zhe to see.
The girl was wearing crystal silver stiletto heels, and her slender ankles were still tied with cheap red ropes that did not match the dress at all.
Su Ci winked at Lu Zhe and teased, "Don't worry, my parents are still in the hospital, my brother is working in the study, and my brother is asleep. They won't know you're here."
Then, she pulled Lu Zhe inside.
Facing the guard's surprised look, Su Ci raised her eyebrows and threatened fiercely, "You didn't see anything."
The guard straightened his waist and turned his head away tactfully. He saw nothing.
There is a garden and fountain in the front yard of the Su family, and a lotus pond in the backyard. A pavilion is specially built in the center of the pond. Sitting in the pavilion and admiring the lotus flowers is the best view in the summer.
There are street lights installed all around the backyard, so the surrounding light is not dark.
Su Ci pulled Lu Zhe into the pavilion and sat down inside.
As soon as she sat down, Su Ci kicked off her high heels. Her feet were already sore from wearing them for a whole day.
"Uncomfortable?" Lu Zhe knew how delicate a girl's body was. Wearing hard shoes would rub her feet red. Now she was wearing high heels, and it was obvious that she was not feeling well.
"My feet hurt." Su Ci stretched out her two feet.
With the help of the warm yellow light from the pavilion, Lu Zhe saw that the girl's heels were rubbed red.
His eyes darkened, "Remember to apply the medicine when you get back."
"Yeah." Su Ci responded perfunctorily.
Su Ci's mind was not on her feet. She blinked and said to Lu Zhe, "Lu Zhe, do you feel like I am secretly bringing you home to have an affair without telling my family? I feel so excited."
Lu Zhe glanced at her dimly. How could anyone say that about himself
Su Ci couldn't wait for a response, so she kicked Lu Zhe's calf with her toes, "Am I wrong?"
Lu Zhe knew how to soothe her, "Yeah."
Su Ci curved her red lips, moved closer to Lu Zhe, and continued to ask: "You can't see clearly in the video, I'm wearing a dress now, am I beautiful?"
The moon is reflected on the pond, and the water is sparkling.
Lu Zhe looked at the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
He responded softly, "Yeah."
What is Su Ci satisfied with
She moved closer to him, and her two arms took the initiative to climb onto Lu Zhe's shoulders. The next second, she felt the boy's body tremble.
"What's wrong?" She stopped.
Lu Zhe shook his head. "It's okay. Sit down."
The neckline of the girl's dress was a little low, and he only had to lower his head slightly to see a large area of white on her chest.
Su Ci didn't listen to him. She touched the place where she had just touched. The next moment, Lu Zhe's body stiffened again.
Su Ci frowned, she stood up and pulled open Lu Zhe's collar, only then did she discover that the boy had a burn wound on his shoulder.
Su Ci was a little angry, "You were injured and didn't tell me."
Lu Zhe met the girl's watery eyes, and the coldness in his voice faded away, "It's not serious, just apply some medicine."
"Did you apply the medicine?" Su Ci glared at him.
Lu Zhe: ... ...
After leaving the hotel in the afternoon, he had been running around outside with Boss Fang and had not had time to go back to apply the medicine.
Su Ci pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Zhe, and left.
Lu Zhe's stiff and cold face looked even colder in the night.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Su Ci came back, she had a tube of ointment in her hand.
She looked at Lu Zhe and said directly, "Take off your clothes."
Lu Zhe held his forehead with his hand, "Give me the ointment, I'll go back and apply it myself."
Su Ci sat down beside him and grabbed the hem of his shirt with her slender white fingers, "I'll help you take it off."
Lu Zhe held her hand tightly, his dark eyes showing helplessness and indulgence, "I'll take it off myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhe saw the girl's black eyes light up instantly.
