Hey, you are reborn too?

Chapter 78: Sudden Fire

"Awei," the boy said calmly, his eyes sparkling, "I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp cry.

"Oh no! Oh no! There's a fire in the warehouse!"

The General's Mansion was originally quiet, but at this moment it was like an oil pan exploding, with oil splashing everywhere.

Through the window, Xie Yongwei could see that it suddenly became extremely bright outside, which must be due to a fire.

It looks like the fire is quite serious.

"Miss, Miss," Chunmei's voice sounded outside the door, sounding particularly anxious, "There's a fire in the warehouse, the fire is huge, and it's already spread to our side, please come out quickly to take shelter!"

When Xie Yongwei heard that Chunmei seemed to be about to open the door, she almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"Chunmei, wait a moment, I'll be out soon."

We can’t let Chunmei open the door like this. If she sees Jiang Mian, we won’t be able to explain what happened tonight.

"Miss, hurry up, the fire is really going to spread!"

"Awei," Jiang Mian felt the heat coming from the window. He knew the fire had burned closer to here. He couldn't stay for long. "I'll go first. See you later."

After he finished speaking, he quickly took out the Tianhong Jue from his arms and stuffed it into Xie Yongwei's arms.

As soon as Xie Yongwei caught it, he immediately turned around and tried all the windows, trying to find one that was not so hot.

"Awei," Jiang Mian supported the window frame with one hand and looked back at Xie Yongwei, "Take care, goodbye!"

As soon as the words fell, the dark figure jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Terrifying heat waves were approaching from the window. Xie Yongwei did not dare to be careless. She held on to Tianhongjue and ran towards the door with all her heart.

"Miss," seeing Xie Yongwei running out of the house safe and sound, Chunmei finally let go of her worries, "You're okay, I'm glad."

Outside the Osmanthus Garden, lanterns were swaying everywhere. Servants were constantly running around, carrying water and heading to the warehouse not far from the Osmanthus Garden to put out the fire.

"How did the fire break out?" Xie Shian's voice came from a distance, sounding particularly reassuring in this chaotic night. "Didn't the warehouse already prepare countermeasures? How did the fire break out again?"

"Master, I don't know either. I heard from the servants that it seemed to have started from the woodshed, spread to the storehouse, and then spread all the way to the Osmanthus Garden where the young lady is."

"The woodshed," Xie Shian said in a louder voice, sounding a little unbelievable, "How could such an important place as the woodshed catch fire so easily!"

"I really don't know. Please be at ease. Although the fire looks scary, I have already ordered many people to put it out. I think it will be under control soon."

"Awei," Xie Shian walked towards Xie Yongwei, his face illuminated by the torch, revealing a bit of vicissitudes of life, "The fire is too big, I don't think it will be put out in a short time, you should stay at your mother's house tonight."

"Okay." Xie Yongwei responded obediently. She didn't want to make things difficult for her father.

"Hey," Xie Yongwei felt a big, generous hand patting her back, and her father leaned over and squatted in front of her, "Awei, be obedient, don't be afraid. This fire will be gone tomorrow morning."

"Go to your mother's place and sleep, ah."

"Yeah," Xie Yongwei raised her head and smiled cutely, "Daddy should also go to bed early, otherwise Awei will be distressed."

"Okay." Xie Shian couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and the force of patting Xie Yongwei's shoulder was lighter.

It is so good to have a daughter, who can comfort you with just a few words. The ministers in the court who only have sons do not know this blessing.

Thinking of this, Xie Shian raised his head proudly. His Awei is just the best.

Suddenly, a thought came into his mind.

Awei was so good, he would never marry her off so easily and let those stinky boys get away with it. At least, he had to marry someone of equal status and like-minded with Awei.

On the way to her mother's courtyard, Xie Yongwei silently tied the Tianhong Jue in her hand back to her waist. It glowed in the night, as if it was expressing warmth to Xie Yongwei on behalf of another owner.

Well, Xie Yongwei chuckled, with a suspicious blush on her face. It seemed that she was becoming more and more accepting of Jiang Mian.

It seemed that all the things and thoughts in her heart that she didn't want to tell others only wanted to be communicated with Jiang Mian, as if only Jiang Mian could understand her.

Xie Yongwei poked Tian Hongjue, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Perhaps, it would be nice to have someone to rely on, at least when she loses miserably, there is someone who can clean up the mess for her.

"Awei, are you okay?" Fu Mei had gone to bed, but when she heard about the fire in Osmanthus Garden, she couldn't fall asleep. She got out of bed and paced back and forth at the gate of the courtyard. She came to greet Xie Yongwei in person and stroked her black hair. "Are you scared?"

"No, mother," Xie Yongwei forced out a smile, trying her best to reassure her mother, "I'm fine, you should go to bed as well."

The lights in the room were a little dim, and the Tianhong Jue on Xie Yongwei's waist usually only glowed faintly, but somehow, the light it emitted was too strong tonight, and it was dazzling in the dark room. Even Fu Mei noticed it.

"Awei," Fu Mei frowned, a little confused, raised her hand and pointed at the Tianhong Jue on Xie Yongwei's waist, "What is this?"

Xie Yongwei was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Make up a lie on the spot? It's not good to lie to my mother, and I don't want to deceive her. Tell the truth? But can I really tell her the origin of Tianhong Jue?

Xie Yongwei was suddenly caught in a dilemma. She had no choice but to remain strategically silent.

"This jade will glow at night," Fu Mei said in amazement, but also with a hint of doubt. "Where did you get such a magical object, Awei?"

"Mother," Xie Yongwei racked her brains, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse. She felt that almost all her cleverness in her life had been used up at this moment. "This was given to me by a friend. It's getting late now, so you should go to bed."

After she finished speaking, Xie Yongwei didn't dare to look at Fu Mei's expression any longer. She just lay down on the bed that Fu Mei had prepared and fell asleep with her clothes on.

"Hey, this child," Fu Mei's tone sounded a little helpless, "Chunmei, please help the young lady undress."

"Yes."

Xie Yongwei felt a pair of hands unbuttoning her clothes. She did not resist and let the person do what he wanted. She knew it was Chunmei.

But somehow, Xie Yongwei recalled those light-colored eyes in her mind.

Maybe Jiang Mian himself didn't realize how captivating his light-colored eyes were in the dim light.

Xie Yongwei's cheeks began to heat up. Although the person touching her was Chunmei, another picture appeared in her mind.

The man with light-colored eyes came closer to her, called out "Awei" softly, and gently undressed her.

And I didn't say a word, didn't make a single move, just lay there quietly and let him do whatever he wanted, just looking at him and smiling, as if I was looking forward to it too.

"Hey, ma'am, the young lady's cheeks seem to be particularly hot, is she having a fever?"

No! Xie Yongwei shouted in her heart.

It’s just… I thought of some scenes!
