From school uniform to wedding dress, but I don't want to marry you anymore

“That exit is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass at a time. With such a big fire, you, me, and so many men, we definitely won’t be able to all get through. Someone will have to die.”

As Jiang Mo ran, he explained hurriedly, his voice echoing in the empty pipes, "So, only the two of us can go. As for the rest, we'll just have to leave it to fate! Don't worry, Qianqian, I'll definitely get you out of here!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right.

seem……

The wrist I held in my hand was rougher and stronger than I remembered.

At that moment, the thick smoke was temporarily dispersed by a gust of air.

Jiang Mo looked up in astonishment.

Instead of Fan Qianqian's frightened and dependent face, she was met with a man's face, thick with fat and filled with rage.

This is the man who almost strangled Fan Qianqian just now!

"Jiang Mo, I knew you were going to pull some tricks!"

The man grinned maliciously, gripping Jiang Mo's wrist tightly with a force so great it felt like he was about to crush bones. "Trying to abandon us and run off with that woman? Dream on! We'll die together!"

"Qianqian...where is Qianqian?!"

Jiang Moxin suddenly felt like she had sunk to the bottom of a valley, looking around in panic.

Through the thick smoke, Fan Qianqian could be vaguely seen being held hostage by two other henchmen, struggling frantically: "Let me go, you bastards, how dare you? Let me go!"

"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion came from the direction they had come from.

The entire underground space was shaking, and debris was falling everywhere.

The scorching flames, like a giant dragon breaking free from its restraints, swept towards the passage where they were, carrying an aura of annihilation!

"Run!"

I don't know who shouted.

The instinct to survive overwhelmed everything.

Those who had taken Fan Qianqian hostage didn't care about anything else; they pushed her down, covered her head, and scurried away in a direction far from the center of the explosion.

The man who had been holding Jiang Mo hostage released his grip and ran toward the ventilation shaft he had mentioned.

At the fork in the road, only Jiang Mo remained.

The man hesitated for almost a second before turning around and running back without looking back.

At this moment, the fire had already surrounded Fan Qianqian.

Flames leaped onto her clothes, scorching and burning the woman's smooth skin until it was festering and black.

"Help me! Jiang Mo! Help me! It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Fan Qianqian still can't believe it.

Just a few hours ago, she was strategizing and confident.

Why are they suddenly going to perish in the fire?

The excruciating pain caused the woman to let out a bloodcurdling scream, "I don't want to! I don't want to!"

"Don't be afraid, Qianqian, I'm here!"

Jiang Mo hugged Fan Qianqian tightly and gently comforted her, "I will always be with you."

The heat scorched the man's hair, and the thick smoke stung his lungs.

Jiang Mo pushed up his crooked glasses.

Behind the lenses, in the eyes illuminated by the flames of a life-or-death moment, a strange, almost gentle calm settled in.

His decision to risk his life might have been due to his genuine affection for Fan Qianqian, or it might have been because of the virus.

But none of that matters anymore.

Jiang Mo blinked, recalling the little things he and Fan Qianqian did when they were children.

I recall our reunion as adults.

She recalled the pain she felt when she lost her sister and the ruthless revenge she took against her uncle's family.

And just now, she was trembling as she gripped his sleeve.

That's fine too.

The fire will turn their bodies to ashes, melting them together so they can never be separated.

……

Above ground, on the edge of an abandoned factory, in an open space.

The night wind brought a faint tremor and a burning smell from underground.

The blue and red lights of the ambulances flashed, and medical staff rushed back and forth.

Yun Ning was held tightly by Yun Yi, but she felt like a soulless shell.

She stopped struggling fiercely; her tears had long since dried up.

Only a hoarse, incoherent wail escaped his throat: "Virus, Gu Sili is just controlled by the virus. He always loved me! He saved me! He gave me the antidote! He's still inside! Brother, Gu Sili is still inside! I don't want him to die! Please! I don't want him alone!"

Yun Yi felt as if his heart was being torn apart; he had no idea that there was such an underlying cause in the whole incident.

He had misunderstood Gu Sili.

but……

Yun Yi hugged his sister tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head, his voice hoarse: "Ningning, I know, I know everything. But the fire is too big, we..."

He couldn't continue speaking; a sense of powerlessness and grief overwhelmed him as well.

at this time.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

A suppressed cough, filled with immense pain, came from the direction of a hidden ventilation opening not far away.

Everyone turned their heads sharply.

From the twisted and deformed metal fence opening, a hand covered in black ash and blood stubbornly reached out and gripped the edge.

Then, a tall figure crawled out from inside with great difficulty, inch by inch.

It's Gu Sili!

He almost became a "black person".

His clothes were charred and torn in many places, and his face and arms were covered with soot and abrasions.

His hair was disheveled, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Each cough tugs at the chest, as if trying to cough up the lungs.

In his other hand, he was still dragging someone along tightly.

It was Chen Ziqi, who was unconscious and in a similarly disheveled state!

The next second, Gu Sili collapsed to his knees, utterly exhausted.

Perhaps it was because his body had always been exceptionally strong.

Perhaps the man was injected with the virus by Yun Yi before, and then by Fan Qianqian, which strengthened his immune system.

Or perhaps it's a combination of all of the above reasons.

Not long after Gu Sili pushed Yun Ning out the door, his body, which had been tempered by countless trials, quickly neutralized the effects of the potion and even regained some strength!

Moreover, Gu Sili has a photographic memory.

Before he arrived, he had already memorized the locations of several ventilation shafts in the underground laboratory.

That's how they had a chance to escape the inferno.

Even more surprisingly, Gu Sili had a moment to save Chen Ziqi.

He knew this man was utterly wicked, ruthless, and vicious.

But if he were to die like this, especially since he died saving Yun Ning...

Therefore, Chen Ziqi will definitely hold a certain place in his wife's heart.

Gu Sili didn't want his wife to remember any other man.

So, they also rescued the person while they were at it.

He wanted Chen Ziqi to live with guilt and his wife to despise him.

Importantly, Gu Sili still remembered what Fan Qianqian had said: Chen Ziqi did all these lousy things because this bastard felt that he was not good enough for his wife.

what about now?

Gu Sili turned his head slightly, looked at the unconscious Chen Ziqi, and slowly raised a middle finger: "I'm not good enough for you? I'm a perfect match for Yun Ning, the best match, a match made in heaven!"

Yun Ning froze for a second, then unleashed a power beyond her limits: "Gu Sili!!!"

She suddenly broke free from Yun Yi and stumbled towards him.

The woman knelt before Gu Sili, her hands trembling, yet she dared not touch him, for fear of shattering this miracle.

"You, you're still alive...you're still alive!"

Yun Ning was incoherent, and only then did tears belatedly well up and flow, mixing with the black ash on her face and washing out two clear streaks.
