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

Si Nian didn't have time to think about why Xie Jingyao would suddenly appear here.

The scorching heat and thick smoke made every second she stayed in one place feel like torture.

She gripped the window frame with both hands and tentatively lowered her feet down.

At this moment, neither she nor Xie Jingyao had any safety measures in place.

She could only land on Xie Jingyao successfully on one attempt. If she missed, not only would she fall, but Xie Jingyao would also be knocked down and fall from the building.

Si Nian's palms involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.

Xie Jingyao's voice came from below, "Don't be afraid, I can catch you."

Upon hearing his words, Si Nian's tense nerves seemed to relax considerably.

She took a deep breath, her toes lightly touching Xie Jingyao's shoulder, and then she released her hands as if in a desperate move.

The moment her weight landed on Xie Jingyao's shoulder, Xie Jingyao grabbed her waist, and Si Nian immediately leaned on Xie Jingyao's shoulder!

Her gaze shifted, and after she clung to Xie Jingyao, he carried her and jumped into the fourth-floor room.

Then a smoke mask was placed over her face.

Si Nian's heart pounded wildly, and she belatedly realized that her legs were going weak.

Xie Jingyao pulled Si Nian up, "Were you burned?"

"No……"

Si Nian stood up with Xie Jingyao's help.

Xie Jingyao said, "There's been an explosion on the fifth floor. The flames will spread down quickly, so we need to leave now."

Si Nian nodded, held Xie Jingyao's hand tightly, and ran out with him as fast as they could.

Thick smoke had already spread to the fourth floor, making it impossible for the two of them to see the road.

"This way..." Si Nian, relying on her memory, led Xie Jingyao to the stairs.

As the scorching heat gradually subsided, Si Nian and Xie Jingyao evacuated together, and the sirens of fire trucks could be heard from afar.

Si Nian, as if completely exhausted, collapsed uncontrollably.

Si Nian didn't know how long she had slept; while she was asleep, she was having intermittent dreams.

In her dream, she returned to the time when she was studying abroad.

When a person is far away from home, they initially feel uncomfortable in every way.

She couldn't tell the cheeses in the supermarket apart because they looked similar, and she couldn't get used to overly sweet cakes or yogurts that were so sour they made her shiver.

She couldn't understand how two-legged creatures, who were both upright walkers, could have such different tastes.

Even when the professor throws out a joke on the podium, it takes her a few seconds to react.

After everyone finished laughing, she could only suppress the smile that had been lingering on her lips.

But every time she contacted Zhou Huai, she concealed all her discomfort very well.

She didn't want her brother back home to worry.

But she knew she wasn't happy here.

Until she met Xie Jingyao.

For a long time afterward, Si Nian wondered if God had taken pity on her and sent Xie Jingyao into her life.

During that period, Xie Jingyao practically took care of all three of her meals.

When she didn't have classes, Si Nian wasn't alone anymore. Instead, Xie Jingyao took her out to participate in all sorts of novel and unfamiliar sports.

The blood that had been dormant for nineteen years seemed to finally start flowing again at that moment.

So at that time, Si Nian was truly in love with Xie Jingyao.

Later, she often wondered if she was too lonely at that time and needed someone to be by her side.

But if that person wasn't Xie Jingyao, and it was someone else, it's unlikely she could have forgotten him so easily.

Later, in order to let go of it, she even forced herself to hate Xie Jingyao for toying with her feelings. She cursed him to go to hell soon while hoping he would live a long and healthy life.

Si Nian's tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the clean white pillow in the ward, leaving a small water stain.

Xie Jingyao's face disappeared in my dream the moment it vanished.

Si Nian also woke up completely.

She stared at the blindingly white ceiling, only belatedly realizing that she was in a hospital.

"Awake?" Lin Tinghan's voice sounded indifferently from beside him.

Si Nian slowly turned her head; Lin Tinghan was the only person in the ward.

She instinctively wanted to ask Xie Jingyao how he was doing.

As she ran out of the fire, Xie Jingyao put a smoke mask on her face.

Seeing Si Nian's searching gaze, Lin Tinghan realized what was happening and suddenly laughed.

"I'm right here. Who are you looking for? Your savior?"
