Shen Xi looked at the man sitting next to him. No matter how embarrassed he was, he could never conceal his innate dignity.
She didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to ask, and didn't dare to cry. She wanted to ask him if he wanted to die just now.
But she didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it. At that moment, he was desperate and lonely, as if he was about to leave everything behind, which deeply hurt her heart.
Li Yuan first broke the silence, looked at the little girl next to him, and said in a low voice, "Come here."
Shen Xi moved closer to him, trying to calm down and hold back his tears. He felt a slight chill on his face, and the man's fingertips had rubbed it.
She opened her eyes and looked at him quietly, staring into his eyes, but she could no longer find any madness, cruelty, or bloodthirsty, only calmness and gentleness.
But the more this happened, the more uncomfortable she felt, as if her heart was being held in someone's hands and being torn apart.
Li Yuan looked at the little girl's bright black eyes, full of broken stars, but he didn't know what to say or how to explain everything to her.
How much did she see
What did she know
He wanted to know, but he didn't dare ask her.
She wanted him to live the most, but at that moment, he selfishly chose to escape, and he actually wanted to get it over with.
Shen Xi didn't know what to say. He had many words brewing in his heart for a long time. In the end, he only asked an irrelevant question: "Brother, am I very strong?"
Li Yuan was startled for a moment, watching the broken stars in the little girl's eyes gather together bit by bit, turning into crystal tears, and then rolled down. He hurriedly wiped her tears and comforted her with a warm voice: "It's okay. It’s just a fire.”
Shen Xi jumped directly into his arms, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his arms, and sobbed softly and sadly.
She knew that what she did was not good enough to make him miss her, not enough to make him care, not enough to make him give up that terrible idea for her.
Li Yuan knew that she was frightened. His arms froze for a moment, then he gently hugged her and coaxed: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
The door was pushed open, and Kunlun arrived belatedly, holding two bunches of candied haws in his hand. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that he rushed towards the kitchen without having time to think or ask any more questions.
The kitchen is very large, with two large windows, and the ventilation is very good. Even if there is a fire, it will not explode in a short while.
Kunlun held the fire extinguisher and extinguished the fire in three strokes. Looking at the messy kitchen, he felt unspeakable fear.
Boss asked him to buy candied haws for Miss Shen. He had only been gone for more than ten minutes. Why did this happen
The blood stains on the ground were very clear, and the sharp porcelain tiles were bright red. He was frightened by the sight. The wheelchair had been burned, and there were still traces of crawling on the ground. It was not difficult to imagine what had just happened.
When he put out the fire and went out, he saw Shen Xi already holding the medical kit and squatting next to Li Yuan to treat Li Yuan's wounds.
Li Yuan's injuries were all cut and pricked by broken porcelain pieces when he climbed all the way to the kitchen door while escaping from the kitchen.
The injuries were not serious, they were just minor injuries. He escaped in time, but was not burned by the fire. Shen Xi checked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yuan watched the little girl treat his wounds seriously, shedding silent tears while disinfecting and applying medicine on him. His heart ached with pain, and he could only coax in a gentle voice: "Be good, stop crying."
Shen Xi didn't want to cry, and didn't want to be so embarrassed in front of him, but the tears were disobedient, they just couldn't stop and flowed down.
She knew clearly that what she was worried about was not the fire, nor was she worried that he would be injured. As long as he didn't want to, no one or anything could kill him.
But what she fears most is that if he gives up on her, he also gives up on himself.
The scene just now was like a nightmare, replaying in her mind over and over again, and he rushed into the sea of fire desperately.
Kunlun was watching on the side. When he saw Shen Xi putting away the medical kit, he walked over and said respectfully: "Boss, let's go back to the old house today!"
The fire here has been extinguished, but there is a burning smell everywhere. It needs to be renovated to dissipate the smell before moving in.
Shen Xi paused while packing his things, looked up at the man, and muttered in a low voice, "I haven't had acupuncture yet!"
Kunlun wanted to go back to his old house for acupuncture, but then thought that Shen Xi was going home, so he finally fell silent and waited for Li Yuan's instructions.
"No need." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the little girl and asked, "Can I go to the study room?"
Shen Xi nodded.
Kunlun quickly took out the spare wheelchair.
Shen Xi pushed him silently. As soon as he reached the door of the living room, he heard a meow coming from the wall. Before he could say anything, Little Toffee had already passed the cat climbing frame specially customized for her on the wall. Three clicks The one who divided five by two jumped down.
The little toffee moved quickly and had already run over. He couldn't read the person's face, so he jumped directly to his exclusive VIP position, Li Yuan's lap.
Shen Xi quickly picked it up with quick eyes and hands: "Don't make trouble."
Li Yuan turned his head, with a slight smile on his lips: "It's okay, just give it to me!"
"No." Shen Xi was very insistent and said in an extremely serious tone: "You are injured. You are not allowed to let it jump around in the past few days."
Li Yuan laughed softly, turned to look at the little girl, nodded, and said very obediently: "Okay."
Only then did Shen Xi give the little toffee to Kunlun, otherwise it would jump as soon as he let go, and his brother's legs were its exclusive place.
Little Toffee didn't know what was going on and didn't want to see Kunlun. She struggled desperately in his arms and cried out to Li Yuan for help.
Li Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and relented, asking the little girl: "My leg is not injured, please give it to me!"
Shen Xi firmly refused: "No!"
Li Yuan listened to its feigned screams and continued to help and beg for mercy: "I will be careful not to let it run around and make trouble with me and touch the wound."
Shen Xi: "If it doesn't work, it won't work!"
Li Yuan glanced at the little toffee and shook his head helplessly at it.
Kunlun saw the scene in front of him, with Sugarcane Mom playing the bad role and Sugarcane Dad playing the bad side, but in the end it was Sugarcane Dad who compromised. The atmosphere became much more relaxed, and even his tense nerves relaxed.
Little Toffee didn't know why. After being picked up and stared at countless times by Shen Xi, she finally stopped jumping on Li Yuan's lap and just squatted down next to her, very well-behaved. .
Li Yuan looked at the two cuties squatting in front of him. The corners of his lips could not help but slightly curve in pleasure, and his eyes looked doting.
