Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

She called the fire department and quickly reported her location after the call was connected.

The other party informed her that the police had been dispatched and would arrive soon.

Just as I hung up the phone, a loud "bang" rang out, followed by an explosion!

Si Nian felt a sharp pain in her eardrums from the shock.

Immediately afterwards, thick smoke billowed in. Although there was a door panel separating them, the smoke was everywhere, squeezing in through the cracks in the door.

Si Nian quickly covered her mouth and nose, then used all the clothes in the lounge to block the doorway. She poured the only bottle of mineral water onto a towel and covered her mouth and nose again.

As she opened the window to let some fresh air in, she heard a familiar sound coming from downstairs.

"Tinghan!! Help me!!! I'm trapped on the fourth floor!!"

Chen Bitong's cries pierced through the air and rose upwards.

Lin Tinghan was misled by Chen Bitong's ringtone and went to the wrong floor, which delayed him.

He went back to the fourth floor and smashed open the door that was trapping Chen Bitong. Chen Bitong cried and threw herself into his arms.

"Tinghan, I knew you would come to save me, sob sob sob."

"Don't cry, get out of here quickly. The fire hasn't spread yet, don't be afraid."

The fourth floor is relatively far from the fire source, so it's considered safe.

Lin Tinghan pulled Chen Bitong away quickly.

When they arrived at a slightly open area outside...

Zheng Ruochun was anxiously searching for Si Nian's figure!

"Where's Si Nian? Hasn't she come out yet? Has anyone seen Si Nian?"

Zheng Ruochun's urgent voice pierced through the noisy crowd.

Everyone searched for Si Nian's figure.

I didn't get to see Si Nian.

Zheng Ruochun knew something was wrong. She said urgently, "Si Nian said she had something important to retrieve from the rest room. Her rest room isn't close to the fire, so I didn't strongly stop her! She hasn't come out yet; she must be trapped on the fifth floor!"

Lin Tinghan froze, his eyes blazing with barely concealed anger. He demanded of Zheng Ruochun, "You saw her, why didn't you stop her?! What important thing could she possibly have in the lounge that made her insist on going back to get it?!"

After shouting, Lin Tinghan froze.

Could the important thing in the lounge be Zhou Huai's manuscript...?

Lin Tinghan's expression was rather unpleasant.

He hesitated for a moment, then got up, intending to run back into the building. Chen Bitong grabbed him forcefully, saying, "Tinghan! The fire is too big now. It's too dangerous for you to go in. The fire department will be here soon. Let's wait for them to rescue people!"

"Let go!"

Chen Bitong cried out, "You're more important than Niannian! I beg you to calm down. You can't put yourself in danger. What will Hengheng do if something happens to you?"

Lin Tinghan clenched his fists in frustration. He should have forcibly pulled Si Nian away and let her come out first when he saw her!

Si Nian felt the heat wave making the door panel scorching hot.

The fire source is on the sixth floor.

It was quite far from where she was, and she had plenty of time to run downstairs.

But then came that explosion.

The fifth floor also caught fire.

Si Nian was trapped in the house again and couldn't move.

She was really struggling to breathe inside the house.

This time she climbed directly onto the window, her entire body dangling outside.

Si Nian coughed violently as she looked down.

Just then, someone spotted Si Nian and exclaimed, "Si Nian is up there! She's still on the fifth floor and hasn't come down!"

At this moment, the door of the lounge was crackling and popping from the heat. Si Nian knew that the door wouldn't last much longer, as the source of the fire was just outside.

She heard someone calling her name downstairs.

But the height of five stories made her lack the courage to jump...

Si Nian was choked and became somewhat delirious.

Her survival instinct made her stretch her body out as far as she could.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't reach the support surface on the fourth floor with her feet, and her idea of ​​jumping to the fourth floor and running away was shattered.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in the crowd.

Ignoring the crowd's attempts to stop him, the man broke free and searched for his way into the building.

Si Nian gripped the window frame weakly. Having lived for so many years, this was the first time she felt death was so close to her.

Just when she thought she was about to be overwhelmed by the fumes.

He either fell from the fifth floor or was burned to death in the fire inside the building.

Xie Jingyao's voice came from below.

"Si Nian!!"

Si Nian opened her eyes and looked down.

It turned out to be no illusion; it really was Xie Jingyao.

Xie Jingyao stepped onto the fourth-floor windowsill, raised his hand, and grabbed Si Nian's ankle.

"Don't be afraid, grab me and climb onto my back."
