Chapter 71 Longing for a home, supporting each other

Cheng Ye stood up holding a book, "This is a library. You came here in such a big way to pick a fight with me. Don't you think it's disturbing?"

Cheng Wei looked at the reproachful looks coming from all around her and swallowed back what she was about to say.

"Brother Fenghao, let's go to the hospital." Cheng Zhirou said helplessly when she saw blood oozing from Cheng Fenghao's forehead.

Cheng Fenghao burst into tears, "Big sister, second sister, wuwuwu, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Cheng Wei and Cheng Zhirou said in unison: "It's not a problem."

However, their eyes were fixed on Cheng Ye's departing back in a daze.

In Cheng Ye's eyes, are they not worth his even a glance?

Cheng Ye changed to another study room, and the two studied until noon. After they walked out of the library, he took a taxi to the dental hospital.

On the way, Cheng Ye discovered that Jiang Mian deliberately kept a distance from him.

When he came here in the morning, Jiang Mian sat close to him. Now the distance between them is such that he is sitting next to the left window and Jiang Mian is sitting next to the right window.

Cheng Ye frowned, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

What about stickers?

He closed the distance between them.

Jiang Mian shifted his gaze from the scenery outside the window back to Cheng Ye in a daze, and subconsciously moved closer to the window.

Cheng Ye caught her movements and couldn't help asking, "Why are you avoiding me?"

Jiang Mian lowered his head, not knowing where to put his two fair little hands. "Don't you dislike me being coquettish and clingy?"

Cheng Ye: “…”

After five seconds of silence, Cheng Ye said helplessly, "Did I say that?"

"You said it yourself when we were in the library. You feel annoyed." Jiang Mian lowered his head even more.

Her curled eyelashes were covered with tears, and her crystal eyes looked pitiful, like a poor little girl abandoned by Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye stared at her misty eyes, and suddenly he felt something stuck in his throat. He suddenly understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

He was most afraid of Jiang Mian crying.

Cheng Ye raised his hand and placed Jiang Mian's head on his shoulder. "Why are you still taking it for granted?"

He pinched her soft face with his fingers and said, "Standards are always left to others."

Jiang Mian was stunned. Suddenly he recalled what he had said before, and felt even more uncomfortable, "Cheng Ye, I got it again, you are kidding me."

Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing, "Don't take it personally. I don't have any standards for you. As long as it's you, no matter what you say or do, I like it."

You only need various standards when you don’t like someone. When you really meet someone you like, there’s no need to have so many standards.

"Just like..." Cheng Ye chuckled, "I like you to be close to me."

Jiang Mian blushed, a little unsure, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Cheng Ye spoke gently, holding Jiang Mian in his arms and absorbing her warm body fragrance. "Just like this, hugging you is beautiful and happy."

"Jiang Mian, you know, my family background is not good." Cheng Ye said, "So, I long for a home."

Jiang Mian felt distressed, "I'm sorry for making you think of sad things."

She didn't hear the hidden meaning in Cheng Ye's words.

Cheng Ye was not sad about his original family. He was implicitly telling her that he longed for a home.

The little family she formed with him.

In the future, we will not only be lovers and couples, but also a family who support each other.

Cheng Ye slowly let go of Jiang Mian, tapped her forehead with his index finger, took out a piece of candy from his pocket, tore open the candy coating and fed it to Jiang Mian, coaxing her gently, "Little crybaby, eat my candy and get rid of those messy things in your mind."

The sweetness spread across his taste buds, and Jiang Mian nodded obediently, "Yeah."

"I like all kinds of you." Cheng Ye added with a smile.

Jiang Mian blinked his eyes in confusion. Is that true?

So...what if she's a yandere with a hidden attribute?

Jiang Mian lowered his eyes and bit the candy obediently.

Deep within his dark pupils, there was a domineering and dark possessive desire, like a ferocious little beast hiding its crazy and despicable fangs.

After Song Ranqiu had her teeth implanted, the doctor was top-notch and extremely efficient. All related matters were completed in just the morning.

She sat in the passenger seat of the taxi, looking through the rearview mirror at Cheng Ye who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Xiaoye has really grown up.

During the time when Cheng Ye had just severed ties with the Cheng family, Song Ranqiu was so worried that she couldn't sleep every day. She knew that Cheng Ye cared about the Cheng family very much and was afraid that he would suffer a mental blow and become depressed.

Fortunately, she was worrying too much.

Xiaoye can face life alone.

Everything is going in the right direction.

The three of them went back to the small clinic to have lunch together, and then Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian went to the library to spend the whole afternoon.

Cheng Ye was immersed in doing exercises, feeling very fulfilled and happy.

At night.

After dinner, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian went back to their rooms.

Jiang Mian was about to fall asleep when his brother Jiang Shiyan called him. "My dear, my parents are returning to China tonight and will arrive at the airport in an hour. Are you going to pick them up?"

"Go." Jiang Mian changed his clothes and trotted out the door.

"Okay, wait a few minutes, I'll drive over to pick you up, and we'll go together."

"Yeah." Jiang Mian hung up the phone.

At three o'clock in the morning, a parked electric bicycle caught fire in the third-floor stairwell of Building No. 6, South Second Lane, Changqingju Street.

There were also some old electric bicycles parked scattered on other floors, which then caught fire at regular intervals.

The residents of the building brought their electric bicycles to the upper floors to charge because there were not enough charging spaces on the mezzanine floor.

The raging fire that spread from electric vehicles in different corners ruthlessly devoured everything around it.

The fire was burning fiercely, but many residents who were sleeping were unaware of it...

At 3:45 in the morning, Jiang Mian returned to Building 6 in South Second Lane and saw thick smoke billowing and fire rushing up to the upper floors.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide in fear. Cheng Ye was inside! !

Jiang Mian dialed Cheng Ye's number with trembling hands, but the other party did not answer.

She ran over in a panic. There was an automatic facial recognition system at the door downstairs, but at this moment, she didn't know whether there was a power outage or the circuit was burned out, so automatic recognition was not possible at all!

The fire was growing bigger and bigger. Jiang Mian raised his eyes and could see sporadic flames falling down.

The entire floor was engulfed in flames, with thick, choking smoke constantly billowing out, making it impossible to see the floor's original appearance.

Jiang Mian was choking and feeling uncomfortable even outside the station, not to mention the residents inside who were in dire straits.

And because it was early in the morning, residents of other buildings nearby were still sleeping! There were no pedestrians passing by!

No one noticed that this floor was on fire!!

Jiang Mian quickly called the fire department and the police, and also called his brother.

She hurried to the other side of the floor, just in time to see the window of Room 301.

Jiang Mian cried anxiously and called Cheng Ye several times, but the other party still didn't answer.

She heard the sounds of fire trucks and police cars and ran over.

The police contacted the landlord and opened the door using a remote control system.

Just as the firefighters and police were about to rush in, a little girl ran through the door before them.

Police Captain Wei's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted loudly: "Go back! It's dangerous inside!!"

However, what responded to them was only the determined back of the little girl who ran up the stairs regardless of everything.

The firefighters outside tried their best to put out the flames, while the fire and police officers who went in went from house to house, shouting and banging on doors to try to rescue people.

Many residents were awakened by the loud noise. Some of them were still conscious and realized that a fire had broken out, so they opened the door and ran downstairs with their families.

But most of the time when they open their eyes, their brain consciousness has already become blurred due to smelling too much smoke.

They were so weak that they couldn't move independently and could only wait for the rescuers to arrive...

Jiang Mian kicked open the door of room 301 and quickly glanced at everything in the living room. She didn't see Cheng Ye, so she pushed open the bedroom door, but still didn't see Cheng Ye.

She searched the bathroom, balcony, and every place she could find carefully.

After confirming that Cheng Ye was not in the room, Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief. She burst into laughter and was about to turn around and leave.

Flames were billowing near the door, completely blocking Jiang Mian's exit.

The burning chandelier above his head fell and hit Jiang Mian's head at high speed...

-

cemetery.

Cheng Ye stood in front of a tombstone, his eyes were calm and his mood was extremely depressed.

Today is the anniversary of Meng Ziming’s death.

A good brother he met while in the orphanage.

Died in an accidental fire at the orphanage five years ago.

Cheng Ye took out his cell phone to check the time, but after pressing several buttons, there was no response. He frowned and realized that the phone had run out of battery and turned off automatically.

After leaving the cemetery, he charged his phone at a nearby store. After turning on his phone, he received eight missed calls from Jiang Mian.

He felt a little uneasy. Why did Jiang Mian call him so late at night?

I called back, but no one answered.

Cheng Ye realized something was wrong and quickly took a taxi back.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw thick smoke billowing in the distant sky. The location was exactly where he lived.

Cheng Ye ran over with his long legs and saw the scene was in chaos.

Injury, death, death.

The dead were carried onto stretchers by nurses, and their families were crying and wailing. Men and women, young and old, all suffered varying degrees of death.

Cheng Ye looked around but did not see Jiang Mian.

He grabbed a firefighter's arm and asked, "Uncle, what's the rescue situation like now? Are there still people inside who haven't been rescued?"

"We are still investigating the exact number," the firefighters replied. "This building has more than 30 floors, and there are more than 10 households on each floor. The fire was so fierce that many residents were in a coma. We are not sure if there are people in every room. We can only check one room at a time."

"Uncle, have you seen a little girl? She is fair and clean, about 166cm tall, pretty and slim. Have you seen her?" Cheng Ye said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the firefighters immediately said, "We saw it, we saw it. She rushed in alone. We didn't hold her back, and we don't know which room she went to."

Cheng Ye's dark eyes flashed with intense surprise. Did Jiang Mian think he was still in the room, so he rushed in without hesitation? !

"Alas, it was thanks to her that she called the fire department and the police in time, otherwise there would be more deaths!!" The firefighters wanted to ask what the relationship between the boy and the girl was, but they saw the boy in black also rushing towards the fire.

Cheng Ye ran into Captain Wei of the police. Wei Langyu grabbed Cheng Ye and said, "What are you doing? Don't you know it's dangerous in there?!"

"Let go!" Cheng Ye impatiently pulled Wei Langyu away.

"You are going to die, do you know that?!" Wei Langyu asked seriously, "Have you ever considered your parents' feelings?!"

"Heh..." Cheng Ye's arm was tightly grasped by Wei Langyu again, "She's still in there, I have to save her."
