At two or three o'clock in the morning, the entire campus is sleeping soundly, except for a few students.
"It's on fire!" The shout from the boys' dormitory was like a thunderbolt. First, a small number of people were awakened, and then panic spread rapidly.
The girl in the next bed to Jiang Xiaozhen didn't know if she hadn't slept or was lightly asleep. She scratched the window sill and looked across, seeing smoke.
"Oh my god! Is the one on the other side on fire!"
When Jiang Xiaozhen heard this sentence in her sleep, she vaguely digested it in her mind.
boys dormitory…
Shocked by fright, she opened her eyes suddenly, fully awake.
Jiang Xiaozhen, who was watching the lively girls being rushed out of bed, squeezed aside.
"Where is the fire?" Jiang Xiaozhen was severely nearsighted and couldn't see clearly without glasses.
"Across the street! Look there, it's smoking!" The girl kindly pointed to her.
There was commotion in the boys' dormitory building, and Jiang Xiaozhen, who was as short-sighted as Jiang Xiaozhen, could vaguely see the unusual outline of gray smoke.
Grabbing her glasses and mobile phone, she casually put on a coat, and rushed out of the bedroom.
Running all the way to the men's bedroom, Jiang Xiaozhen called He Yu's cell phone, but he didn't answer.
When she ran to the downstairs of the boys' dormitory, there were already many male students gathered in the open space. Jiang Xiaozhen took a quick look, but there was no sign of He Yu among them.
People kept running out of the building, against the flow of people, Jiang Xiaozhen walked in.
Before entering the building, she was stopped by kind people.
"It's on fire inside!"
"I know, I'm looking for someone." With an anxious expression on her face, she clutched her phone and looked at the crowd.
"Which floor does he live on?"
"Three floors."
She said that, and they didn't dare to let her run around.
"The fire started on the fourth floor. The fire burned so fast that the third floor has already been affected. You wait in a safe place. The fire engine is coming soon. It is too dangerous for you to go in now."
Jiang Xiaozhen knew, but she wanted to find He Yu quickly.
More and more people ran out of the men's dormitory. At this moment, Jiang Xiaozhen caught a glimpse of a familiar face.
We had met a few times in a small restaurant before, and that boy was He Yu's roommate.
She rushed to him immediately.
"Has He Yu come out?"
The roommate took off the handkerchief covering his nose and shook his head at her.
"Why don't you call him? Is he still sleeping?"
Jiang Xiaozhen's voice was sharp, even if they were standing outside the dormitory building, they could still feel the heat wave of the flames, and she was so anxious that she was going crazy.
The roommate showed helplessness: "He and I woke up late, but we came out in time. We walked to the first floor with him, and He Yu said he had something to get, so he ran back again. I couldn't call him."
take things? It's a critical moment, go get something
What is more important than his life!
Jiang Xiaozhen bit her lip desperately, and noticed that the roommate had something around his left arm.
"In your hand..."
The distraught roommate lowered his head.
"It's the pillow that He Yu hugged when he came out."
Jiang Xiaozhen knew this pillow very well, because she picked it out herself and gave it to He Yu as a gift.
A thought flashed through her mind: Could the mung bean pillow become He Yu's relic.
Jiang Xiaozhen quickly strangled the unlucky thoughts: nonsense! impossible! Nothing will happen to He Yu!
She decided to go to him.
After snatching a wet quilt that someone else brought out and throwing it aside, Jiang Xiaozhen ran into the boys' dormitory without looking back.
In the face of life and death, the human heart is like a mirror.
In just that brief moment, you make a choice.
You immediately see what is most important to you.
Something like that is worth protecting with your life.
For Jiang Xiaozhen, the name in her heart is He Yu.
Talking to the little cat, He Yu smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Uncovering her wound, every word was thorny, but He Yu gently wiped away her tears.
He Yu went back to the dark campus to find her, carried her on his back, and lied that she was not serious at all.
He Yu, who wants to hear her stories, is willing to be her friend, and keeps encouraging her.
Invite her to eat spicy soup, and after winning the lottery, He Yu will not hesitate to share the luck with her.
…
He Yu was trapped on the third floor by the fire.
After taking his things, he was about to flee the fire when he heard a cry for help from a room at the end of the corridor.
The fire was so intense that the door of that dormitory was burnt out and could only be opened half the size of an arm, and the people inside couldn't get out.
He Yu went back to help them, but in the end even he was trapped.
The collapsed door frame blocked his way of escape, and several boys still couldn't open the door with their combined efforts. He coughed, and the oxygen around him was thin.
Those inside the door have another escape route, the window.
Seeing that the door could not be opened, they gathered at the window for help.
When He Yu saw Jiang Xiaozhen, he thought he was hallucinating.
The chubby girl appeared under a heavy quilt, her burly and heavy body jumped up, and kicked the burning door frame in front of him flying.
"Stupid!" Jiang Xiaozhen yelled at him.
It is indeed her.
"Run!" she yelled hoarsely.
She was going to take off the quilt to him. He Yu's arms encircled her from behind, together with her shoulders and the quilt that protected her, tightly encircling her.
They ran out together and crossed paths with the firefighters who rushed into the building.
"There are still people on the third floor." He Yu immediately reported to them.
Firefighters escorted them out.
As soon as he got out of the fire, Jiang Xiaozhen panted heavily, her legs softened, and she sat on the ground.
Throwing off the quilt on her body, she turned around and hugged He Yu, crying loudly.
— Great, rescued.
"What did you go back for?"
He was in a daze for a moment, and took out the sketchbook that he always carried with him in his arms.
He Yu's face was ashes from the smoke, and his underwear had burn marks.
The sketchbook, however, was intact.
"What's wrong with you!"
Jiang Xiaozhen scolded angrily: "Is it that important? You can draw again!"
He was stunned by her scolding, like a child who did something wrong.
Without saying a word, guiltily, he lowered his head deeply.
"He Yu!"
She suddenly felt intolerable, and she had to tell him.
He Yu didn't raise his head, but Jiang Xiaozhen called out again.
"He Yu!"
She said, "He Yu, I love you."
He looked at her in surprise.
Yes, amazed.
Jiang Xiaozhen had expected He Yu's reaction a long time ago.
Avoiding his eyes, she tried to look calm.
Before he refused, before their relationship became awkward, she quickly added: "I said it, not to be with you, you don't have to express your opinion to me, and you don't need to be pressured."
Fortunately for Jiang Xiaozhen, hearing her endless confession, He Yu didn't bother to talk about him.
"Okay," he said.
Respecting her request, he descended the steps she had paved.
He didn't express his opinion, nor did he show a embarrassed expression, he helped her protect her face.
Jiang Xiaozhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"But!" She laughed and asked him, "He Yu, can you wait for me a little bit?"
He looked at her with dark eyes.
Jiang Xiaozhen felt like crying again.
She rubbed her nose, pretending to be light and said: "I, Jiang Xiaozhen, will become beautiful, a big beauty, and a person full of sparkles!"
Recovering her previous self-confidence and indomitable appearance, Jiang Xiaozhen put it on completely as if she were wearing a piece of clothing.
This will allow her to speak smoothly.
"I mean, if you like someone without waiting for me, you will definitely regret it."
Probably because the sentence pattern of this sentence was too Jiang Xiaozhen, He Yu, who had been distracted for a long time, finally returned to reality.
He bit his lip and muttered, "Every time you threaten someone, you always say the same thing."
Think about it too.
Jiang Xiaozhen admitted it straightforwardly.
"Um… "
