After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Xueying used her last strength to pull out the hairpin on her head and murmured to Shen Ruoyan: "Girl, if one day you meet a man named Dong Huicheng, please help me return this to him and tell him... Cher doesn’t hate him.”

In Xueying's expectant eyes, Shen Ruoyan took the hairpin.

Xueying looked at the hairpin shining in the firelight, slowly squeezed out a smile, and finally closed her eyes weakly.

Shen Ruoyan's hands were trembling, and she wanted to cry loudly, but she couldn't cry. She could only cover Xueying's face with a towel, hoping that she could leave with dignity.

At this time, several more pieces of wood fell down and the entire roof was in danger. Shen Ruoyan glanced at Xueying, walked to the window sill, turned over and climbed out.

Lu Yan stood on the ground, pacing back and forth anxiously.

In the past, he could remain calm even when faced with big situations, but now because of one person, he almost has a tendency to lose control.

After burning for a long time, the huge attic looked like a dying old man. From time to time, a few burning wooden boards fell down. At some point, the whole building would collapse.

Lu Yan clenched his fists and stared at the end of the rope with all his attention. It had been a long time since anyone had climbed out. Could something have happened to her?

As if to increase Lu Yan's anxiety, a bunch of flames spurted out from the window. Just when Lu Yan was about to rush back along the rope, a slender figure appeared in his sight.

Shen Ruoyan hid the hairpin that Xueying gave her and put it away in her arms. She clung to the rope and slowly slid down. But it was more than ten feet above the ground and her legs were hanging in the air. She couldn't help but I felt a little flustered and my movements became less dexterous.

Just as she slowly climbed to the middle of the rope, the blanket tied to the pillar was finally burned under the constant burning of the fireworks.Losing support, the originally tight rope suddenly fell softly, and the slender figure on it also fell straight down.

Amid everyone's exclamations, a moon-white figure jumped up from the ground, accurately hugged the person into his arms, and slowly lowered to the ground.

She could smell the fragrance of vegetation on the tip of her nose. This familiar feeling made Shen Ruoyan know that she had finally been rescued. However, she also understood that there was a girl who stayed in that tall building forever.

Without the joy of being saved, Shen Ruoyan raised her head and looked at the tall building wrapped in flames.

There were noisy conversations around them. Those who had successfully escaped returned to their usual politeness and greeted each other, but no one noticed that there was no one missing around them.

All the dignitaries were safe and sound, and no one would care if they were missing a brothel girl.

Shen Ruoyan will remember that not long ago, she and Xueying were fighting each other at a gorgeous and extravagant banquet, but now the girl is lying there, like a docile sheep, leaving quietly, as pale as if she had never been here before existed in the world.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan's heart ached, and she buried her face in Lu Yan's arms again, greedily inhaling the scent of the other person's body, and finally calmed down a little.

Seeing that she was the only one coming out, Lu Yan understood something already. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's take you back."

Shen Ruoyan straightened her back and left Lu Yan's arms. Although she was very reluctant to leave, so many things happened tonight and Lu Yan needed to stay and deal with it. There was no reason to occupy his time and let him accompany her.

Shen Ruoyan shook her head and pretended to be calm and refused: "No, I can go back by myself."

However, the other party held her hand forcefully and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let's go, I'll take you back first."

The two walked out of the crowd. Because of the fire, the tourists on the originally bustling streets had long since dispersed. On both sides of the street paved with bluestones were bright lanterns, but Shen Ruoyan had long since lost the mood to appreciate the lanterns and let herself go. Lu Yan pulled him and silently walked to the foot of the mountain.

Lu Yan turned his back, and Shen Ruoyan thought he was leaving, but she saw Lu Yan suddenly bent down and said to her, "Come up."

"Huh?" Shen Ruoyan was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Lu Yan explained: "Carry you up."

"what?"

"Didn't you say you hate taking stairs the most?"

Shen Ruoyan remembered that she had complained to Xiao Twelve about why Tianyan Pavilion was built on such a high mountain. Every time she went down the mountain, she had to walk a long flight of stairs, and it was too inconvenient to climb up and down.

It would be happy if it could be built at the foot of a mountain and you could go to town for a stroll when you are bored.

Lu Yan was reading in the room at that time. Shen Ruoyan didn't expect that he would hear it and keep it in her heart.

"Come up." The young man kept bending down. Seeing that Shen Ruoyan was still taking no action, he urged her.

Shen Ruoyan lay obediently on Lu Yan's back.

The moss marks are green on the upper steps, and the grass is green on the curtains. There is a unique tranquility and softness in the summer nights.

Although she had escaped from the fire, Shen Ruoyan's heart was still hanging in the air, and it wasn't until she lay on Lu Yan's back that she felt some reality.

The bright moonlight shone on the two of them. The boy was carrying the girl on his back, walking up step by step.Shen Ruoyan originally thought that Lu Yan could use Qinggong and jump up the mountain in a few leaps, but Lu Yan carried her steadily on his back and walked up the steps step by step.

The chirping of insects in the grass came to my ears in the distance, and the familiar smell of Lu Yan was on my nose.

A gust of cool breeze blew by, carrying the fragrance of wild grass, blowing away the depression that was weighing on Shen Ruoyan's heart.

Putting her arms around Lu Yan's neck, Shen Ruoyan spoke leisurely and slowly expressed the emotions deep in her heart: "Lu Yan, I seem a little sad."

The boy gave a soft "hmm" and encouraged her to continue.

"Xueying... couldn't escape. Although we just met today, I feel so sad to see a living person die in front of my eyes.

I hate myself so much, I hate why I couldn't save her, why I couldn't do anything but watch her stay in the fire forever. "

As Shen Ruoyan said that, she buried her face in Lu Yan's shoulder and kept it in her heart. The tears that had not been left slowly came out at this moment. Then she cried more and more sadly, and finally she burst into tears.

Lu Yan didn't say anything. He became a good listener and walked up the mountain step by step with Shen Ruoyan on his back.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't see Lu Yan's expression, but she knew that the other party would not laugh at her, and she was especially grateful that Lu Yan could always be by her side on such a night.

Only in front of someone who can give her a sense of security can Shen Ruoyan vent her suppressed emotions so freely.

It's so nice to have him here at such a moment!
