Chapter 1182 - It Seemed Like He Want to Freeze Her (1/2)

Before Xia Yanran could say anything, Xiao Yi released his hand that was holding on tightly to her waist.

Looking at his cold face, Xia Yanran could not help saying, “Xiao Yi, you still have me in your heart, don’t you? If not, you wouldn’t have come all the way here…”

“Miss Xia.” He interrupted her coldly, looking at her with his hawk-like sharp eyes. “I came here to find out some things about Yi Ran. It has nothing to do with you.”

So that was it.

His gaze seemed to want to pierce through her, and his voice seemed to want to freeze her to death.

Xia Yanran’s heart quivered. Xiao Yi ignored Xia Yanran and looked at the temple on the mountain.

A fire had broken out. The place where the fire started seemed to be from where Jue Chen was living.

Xia Yanran also looked at the place where the fire had broken out. She and Xiao Yi hurried back up the mountain at the same time.

The temple had become chaotic. Because they were in a remote location, the fire department would not be able to come immediately. Not only that, there seemed to be issues with the fire hydrant too, so the nuns could only use buckets of water to extinguish the fire.

When Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi arrived, the fire in Jue Chen’s room had already spread and become very large.

“W-Who’s going in to save Jue Chen?”

No one dared to go in.

Xiao Yi frowned. “I’ll go.”

Xia Yanran’s heart tightened and she grabbed Xiao Yi’s arm on reflex. Xiao Yi turned and looked at Xia Yanran, pulling her hand away.

“Hold on.” Xia Yanran took a bucket from a young nun and poured all the water inside onto Xiao Yi. “Be careful.”

Xiao Yi said nothing and rushed into the big fire under the shocked and incredulous stares of the people.

With her hands clasped together, Xia Yanran stared at the place where Xiao Yi had rushed into, her heart in her mouth.

He would be fine!

Seconds ticked by, followed by heart-wrenching minutes. Xia Yanran could not stay still when she saw that Xiao Yi was not coming out and she also poured a bucket of water over herself, wanting to rush in to find Xiao Yi.

But two nuns pulled her back. “Young Lady, the fire’s too big, you can’t go in!”

Xia Yanran ignored their warnings. She struggled free and rushed into the fire. When she rushed to the door, she saw a tall figure coming out with a slender nun.

Xiao Yi had saved Jue Chen.

Even after putting Jue Chen on the ground, she started to thrash about. “My beads, my beads…”

Xia Yanran looked around and saw that Jue Chen’s beads had fallen near the door where the fire source was. She hurried forward to pick the beads up.

Xia Yanran did not notice that a beam on the roof had caught fire and was about to drop down.

When Xiao Yi looked up and saw the beam, his expression changed. “Xia Yanran! Don’t go!”

It was too noisy so Xia Yanran did not hear Xiao Yi’s voice. She picked up the prayer beads and heard a noise. Looking up, she saw a burning beam falling down towards her.

Before Xia Yanran had time to think, her body was held by a strong force.

After rolling several times on the ground, she heard the sound of the wooden beam falling beside her ear.
