Quick Wear: Another day when the villain is paying for it

"...I'm fine." Xu Ning stood there, facing the worried eyes of the two elders, with a dazed look and a hint of uneasiness. She said:

"But, I feel like something happened to Ajing."

*

This is the fourth day since Mo Jinghuai went missing after the rescue.

The people who went out to rescue him came back, but he had not been found yet.

Many people have the same idea in their minds that Mo Jinghuai was killed and disappearance is the most decent "explanation".

Even Mo Jinghuai's parents have already made the worst plan.

Xu Ning didn't believe it, she didn't admit that Mo Jinghuai was killed.

He said he would be back.

Unable to bear seeing the worried looks of Xu's father and mother, Xu Ning was no different from usual, as if she didn't care about Mo Jinghuai at all, going to work and returning home on time every day.

Only this time, she would take a long detour to get to the fire station.

Don't go in, just stand outside the door and look from a distance.

Even the staff on duty at the fire station were familiar with her. They learned from others that she was Mo Jinghuai's friend and invited him in to sit for a few times, but Xu Ning shook her head and refused every time.

Later, they formed a tacit understanding and moved a stool to the duty room. Xu Ning would sit there for a few minutes and then leave.

Mo Jinghuai's friends would also talk to Xu Ning during their breaks.

This time, she met two strangers.

An older man walked to the duty room with a little girl.

Rubbing his fingers together, he could not hide his nervousness: "Is this the fire station in City B?"

The person on duty came out: "Yes, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this," the man held the girl's hand, "Comrade Mo Jinghuai from your place saved my daughter. Can I get his home address from you? I want to meet his parents..."

Xu Ning did not listen to the rest of the words. She left here as quickly as if she was escaping.

The day when Mo Jinghuai got into trouble was when the amount of water was at its highest.

The rubber lifeboat carried a group of rescued people through the turbid water with fast currents. They came across a little girl clinging to a tree, soaking wet.

Mo Jinghuai entered the water carefully, rescued the little girl, and lifted her into the lifeboat.

In the distance, a thick piece of wood was carried by the rushing water and hit the lifeboat. The boat shook violently, and the hand that was holding Mo Jinghuai tightly suddenly lost its strength.

When I looked again, he was gone.

They sent a lot of people to search along the direction of the water, but there was no trace of him.

……

Xu Ning stopped the car near the residential building.

He wiped his red eyes and tidied his messy hair before entering the community.

Turning a corner, she met someone unexpected.

The man was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. His head and arms were wrapped in white gauze. His face was pale and weak, but when he looked at her, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Ning Ning."

Xu Ning didn't move, just stared at him blankly.

Mo Jinghuai curled the corners of his lips: "What's wrong, don't you recognize me?"

"Ajing..."

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She took a few steps forward, her eyes touched the wounds on his body, and she stopped in front of him.

Mo Jinghuai stretched out his hands and gently embraced her:

"I'm sorry for making you worry. I won't do that again."

Xu Ning buried her head in his chest and said nothing.

Mo Jinghuai could feel the clothes on his chest being soaked by the warm tears. His big hands trembled and touched her head, comforting her again and again.
