President's stand-in

The room was shrouded in colorless smoke, the gasoline drum was overturned, and the fire spread along the outflowing gasoline.

Lou Ximu, who was asleep, slowly woke up from the strange ambiguity emitted by the burning.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the huge fire spreading to the sofa.

Lou Ximu's pupils contracted violently, and he suddenly wanted to get up, but unexpectedly, he couldn't use the strength because of the smoke inhalation.

Not only that, but his head was also extremely dizzy.

Although Mixiang had no smell, he was still keenly aware of what had been placed in the room.

Lou Ximu pressed his aching head, then bent over to call Rong Xingci, "Xingci, Xingci, wake up."

Rong Xingci's physique was not as good as Lou Ximu's, and he passed out after inhaling too much incense.

The fire has spread to the bedside, the smoke is getting thicker, and the oxygen in the room is getting less and less.

Lou Ximu frowned, got up with difficulty and went to the bathroom...

When Lou Ximu came out of the bathroom, his trouser legs were soaked, and a wet towel covered his mouth and nose.

He walked to the bed, covered Rong Xingci's mouth and nose with another towel in his hand, and wanted to hug her.

But his body was already weak and unable to use his strength, and he had trouble walking, let alone being able to hug the unconscious Rong Xingci.

The fire quickly reached the end of the bed, the bedding was easily ignited, and the fire became more and more fierce.

Lou Ximu threw the quilt to the floor, with a bang, the cotton on one side burned quickly.

Lou Ximu put one hand on Rong Xingci's shoulder, and pulled him down on the bed forcefully.

'Bang', Lou Ximu's body suddenly lost his balance, he was protecting Rong Xingci, and both of them fell to the floor.

Lou Ximu stood up, bent over and put his hands under Rong Xingci's arms, and took off the person outside the door with great difficulty.

Even though his mouth and nose were covered, as the air in the room became thinner, it became more and more difficult for Lou Xi to breathe.

His chest heaved violently, and every time he took a breath, he had to use a lot of strength.

A strong wind blew in through the half-opened window, and the fire quickly spread away with lightning speed.

Lots of flammable items in the room, mattresses, tables, curtains...

The sounds of ambulances and fire trucks downstairs can be heard endlessly, but because they are on higher floors, it takes time to rescue people from room to room, and it takes time for rescuers to come up.

No rescuers have come up yet.

Soon the room was flooded with fire, and the flames were like a ferocious monster, as if it could devour weak humans at any time.

Lou Ximu's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was panting violently like an old man suffering from asthma.

The road tens of meters away from the door seemed frighteningly long at this time.

Gasoline flames were all over the floor, and there was nowhere to set foot.

Lou Ximu took off the towel covering his mouth and nose, and slammed it on the floor with all his strength.

The wet towel temporarily opened up some places where there was no fire.

But it didn't take long for the towel to be dried by the extremely high temperature around it.

When I tried to extinguish the fire again, the towel was already burning.

Lou Ximu threw the burning towel far away, and at this time there was only about three meters away from the door of their room.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Lou Ximu coughed violently a few times as he choked on thick smoke.

He stood still for a while, seeing that the fire had spread to Rong Xingci's feet, he dragged him up vigorously.The body seems to have reached a kind of limit, supported only by the belief that they cannot die in this nameless country.

In the next second, Lou Ximu had exhausted all his strength and leaned over to hug Rong Xingci.

He stepped on the rampant flames, carried Rong Xingci to the door.

By the time he reached the door, his wet trouser legs were dry and burning.

Lou Ximu put Rong Xingci down, and took a long time to extinguish the stubborn flames on his trouser legs.

After extinguishing it, he put his hand on the doorknob.

"Hiss__" the scalding heat on the metal handle made him gasp.

After the pain subsided a little, Lou Ximu lifted the hem of his clothes, and held the doorknob through the clothes.

Lou Ximu exerted force in his hand, but the door of the room did not open.

Lou Ximu kept pressing the handle, but the door seemed to be locked from the outside, and it couldn't be opened no matter what.

Lou Ximu was sweating all over anxiously, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the room made of steel and concrete had already started to collapse.

If they don't go out again, they will be trapped and stoned to death here.

Lou Ximu kept twisting the handle but couldn't open it, so he kicked hard with his feet.

However, his physical load has reached a certain level, and the strength of his kick is far less than his normal strength.

The solid door was motionless and could not be kicked open.

Lou Ximu's brain was running fast, he looked around and found that there was no tool that could be used.

Unless rescue personnel come up now, they will undoubtedly die.

'Crackling', another sound of houses collapsing.

Lou Ximu looked up and found that the whole room was vulnerable to collapse from time to time.

His pupils constricted violently when he noticed the place above their heads.

The body reacted before the brain, and in the next second, Lou Ximu quickly fell on top of Rong Xingci.

The thick steel bars that had been scorched by the flames slammed into his back one by one.

"Uh..." Lou Ximu snorted, his brows furrowed fiercely, the severe pain in his back was suffocating.

But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to move.

The ambiguity of scorched clothes and scorched flesh on the back permeated the space.

Lou Ximu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and the last few words flashed in his mind before he passed out—if he could survive...

The second after Lou Ximu passed out, the sound of rescuers catching up came from outside the corridor.

Three days later, England, Castle of Searle.

Rong Xingci opened his eyes, and the light came through the slightly drawn curtains, making him look extremely dazzling.

Blocking it with his hand, after he got used to the light in the room, he stared blankly at the ceiling.

After looking at it for several minutes and looking around at the familiar layout in the room, he realized that this was his room in Hisil Castle.

Rong Xingci pressed his aching head, trying to recall how he returned to England.

But he couldn't remember anything, the memory stayed in the hotel in Xiaoguo, after Lou Ximu pinched him, he fell asleep in his arms.

Rong Xingci shook his head again, except for the thick smoke coming from the depths of his memory, he still had no clear memory.

He wasn't even sure if the smell of smoke came from a dream.

He even felt that he was in his dream now...

Rong Xingci stared blankly at the ceiling, and after an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was opened.

Nan Siyu, who came in, saw that he had woken up, and ran to the bed in surprise.

"Brother, you're finally awake." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Nan Siyu took one of his hands and put it on his face, "Brother, you're so worried about us."

Rong Xingci looked at him in a daze.

Nan Siyu's voice is close at hand, and his clear voice is still circling in his ears.

Is this really not a dream?

Rong Xingci moved his lips, his throat was so dry that he couldn't even pronounce a single syllable.

Seeing his appearance, Nan Siyu quickly got up and poured him a glass of water, "Brother, you should drink water to moisten your throat first."

Rong Xingci sat up with great effort, and felt a lot more comfortable after drinking a glass of water.

Nan Si and Liang Jingjing looked at him, and asked worriedly, "Brother, do you feel uncomfortable? I'll ask the family doctor to check you up." Rong Xingci shook his head, "No, I'm fine."

Even after dipping into the water, his voice was still so hoarse that he was startled.

He suspected that the voice was not his own.

Nan Siyu saw his worry, and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, the doctor said that you may have a hoarse voice when you wake up, and he said that you will be fine after a few days of rest."

Rong Xingci pursed his lips, his face turned pale.

His own strange hoarse voice made him not even want to talk.

If he didn't really want to know what happened, he just wanted to rest quietly by himself.

Rong Xingci asked all the questions in his heart, "Siyu, how did I come back?"

"How did my voice become like this? Where's Ximu? Has he returned to England too?"

After Nan Siyu heard his question, the expression on his face changed subtly.

His eyes flickered, and after considering it, he said, "Mr. Lou has returned to Baicheng."

Seeing his evasive words, Rong Xingci looked guilty and didn't dare to look at him, and asked suspiciously, "Xi Mu returned to Baicheng? Did he leave any words?" He just woke up now, and he went back to Baicheng city ​​yet?

Nan Siyu said slowly, frightened, "Mr. Lou...Mr. Lou actually didn't say anything..."

"He just said that he knew that you would never be able to fully forgive him, and that he would never pester you again."

Rong Xing looked into Nan Siyu's eyes firmly, exposing him, "Siyu, why did you lie to me?"

Although no one has explained, the relationship between them has improved a lot, and it can even be said that they have reconciled.

Now he actually said that Lou Ximu had returned to Baicheng, and what did he say that he would not pester him anymore?

After so many things happened and they came here together, he actually said that he would not pester him anymore?

And he also believes that since he has been looking for him for a year and has not given up, then he will definitely not let go easily.

He even believes that if he never forgives him, he will always appear in front of him.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Nan Siyu anxiously explained, "It's true, it was Mr. Lou who said so, and I'm just telling him what he said."

Looking at his sincerity, Rong Xingci didn't look like he was lying.

But what he conveyed was really strange, and he had to doubt its authenticity.

Seeing him, Nan Siyu still looked at him in disbelief, and explained, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Lou."

Rong Xingci didn't dwell on this question anymore, he changed the subject and said, "Did Ximu send me back?"
