C197 Loneliness (1/2)

Looking at her charming and sorrowful face, Li Qiang couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. ”Don't worry, I really like you. I know your feelings for me, I won't let you down.” Chen Xue jumped into his embrace and sighed. ”I know your identity, and I know I can't have you completely. But as long as I can have a moment of warmth, that's enough.” Facing such an infatuated young girl, Li Qiang was momentarily at a loss for what to do. Moreover, he was wrapped up in a warm and fragrant embrace and had long been lost in his emotions.

At this moment, Chen Xue's face was flushed red and her mouth emitted an alluring and charming sound. At that moment, black smoke drifted in. Li Qiang frowned, ”Did you smell anything?” Chen Xue was at a loss, and she did not notice anything strange, so she asked, ”What did you say?” ”What's that smell?” But suddenly she woke up and said, ”Oh no, it's probably a fire! Weird, why would there be a fire in this building? ”

The two of them got up and found that the smoke in the room was getting stronger and stronger. The smell was pungent and the temperature had increased by quite a bit. Li Qiang hurriedly grabbed a towel and soaked it in water. He let Chen Xue cover her nose and mouth and found a towel to moisten her face.

Chen Xue said anxiously, ”What should we do? It seems like there's a fire right now, but the door has been locked by auntie. How can we escape?” Li Qiang stepped forward and forcefully pushed the door. It was already tightly locked, even if he used his feet, he wouldn't be able to kick it. Moreover, black smoke continuously poured in from the door, if he rashly opened it, it could lead to even more serious consequences.

Li Qiang looked at the window and said, ”There's no other way. I can only jump down from here.” Chen Xue turned pale with fright. ”What did you say? This is the third floor. If you jump, you will die.” Li Qiang opened the window and looked down. There was a large patch of shrubs down there, which could probably reduce the force by a bit. However, the probability of landing safely was too small.

He took the sheets and asked Chen Xue to come and help him tear the sheets into pieces. Then he rolled them into simple ropes and slipped them through the window. He tied them to the heating pipe and said, ”You go down first. I'll hold the rope here just in case.”

Chen Xue said, ”Let's go down together. I don't want to leave you alone up there.” Li Qiang said anxiously, ”It's already so late, yet you're still pushing and pushing. I told you to go down faster. If you delay a little longer, the danger will increase. Do you understand?” Chen Xue had no choice but to let Li Qiang carry his onto the windowsill. Then, he pulled on the rope and slid down. Li Qiang instructed, ”Move down a little bit. Don't look down. Don't be afraid. I'm here.” Chen Xue said in a sobbing tone, ”Of course I'm not afraid with you here, but my heart is still shaking.”

Even in such a situation, Li Qiang still laughed out loud and comforted his, ”You're fine, don't move recklessly. Grasp the rope and slide down.” Chen Xue listened to his words and slowly slid down the rope. After about 10 minutes, he finally landed safely.

Even the fire engine had arrived, but before the ladder could be set up, the infirmary was already engulfed in flames. Li Qiang was forced by the heat wave inside to the point where he couldn't wait any longer, so he directly grabbed the rope and jumped down, his agile body sliding down a long distance with a single leap, causing the onlookers to exclaim in surprise, including many girls screaming. When he was still more than three meters away from the ground, there was a loud explosion, and the entire infirmary exploded.

Li Qiang looked up and saw that the person holding him was none other than She Ziyan. He was pleasantly surprised and sighed, ”Every time I'm about to die, it's you who save me. Thank you very much.” He Ziyan said: ”I came late. If I knew that someone wanted to harm you, I would definitely stay by your side and never leave you!”

He Ziyan put Li Qiang on the ground. The surrounding crowd actually gave out warm applause and cheers. Li Qiang silently cursed: ”I nearly died, but you guys acted like you were watching a circus, is it that fun?” He unhappily patted off the dust on his body, thinking to himself: ”This fire is too bizarre, who did it?”
