520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

At the moment he ran out impulsively, Gu Lingyan felt that he was not himself, but his worry about Xiang Huanian prevailed, and he had no time to think about the deeper reasons behind this anxiety.

Gu Lingyan was only clear about one thing, that the most urgent thing was to see Xiang Huanian as soon as possible and confirm her condition.

Thinking of this, Gu Lingyan quickened his pace.

When rushing out of the villa area, Gu Lingyan saw the place where the accident happened.

There was thick smoke billowing there, and the situation was visibly not good. The fire had spread to the two floors above and below, and was about to reach Xiang Huanian's floor.

Gu Lingyan cursed inwardly, walked through the crowd of onlookers who were screaming and running straight to the scene of the accident.

"Hey, brother!"

Gu Shaoyu, who was chasing breathlessly from behind, finally caught up, but the next second, Gu Lingyan ran away at an even faster speed.

But Gu Shaoyu thought that if something happened to An Anlele or Xiang Huanian, Lin Yunchu would definitely be very sad and blame herself. Gu Shaoyu did not dare to ask Gu Lingyan to wait for him, so he held his breath and chased after her again.

Fortunately.

Among the people who escaped, Xiang Huanian, who was carrying a lot of bags, was quite eye-catching, and Gu Lingyan spotted Xiang Huanian at once.

But the breath had not yet been relaxed, and the little girl was soft and about to fall to the ground. Gu Lingyan hurried forward and caught Xiang Huanian without thinking.

Gu Lingyan held the embrace with the acceleration of weight very steadily. It could be said that such a solid weight made people feel that the other person was really safe.

The girl in his arms had a slender figure, so delicate and boneless that he could hold her in one hand.

The girl's trembling breaths, her limp hands and feet, a hint of cigarette ash on her face, her helpless, hoarse voice, her cold fingertips, and the tears that kept falling like raindrops, soaking her bright black eyes and making them even brighter...

There is a lot of pity.

Gu Lingyan unconsciously hugged Xiang Huanian tighter.

"Little sister, luckily you're okay and you rescued An An and Le Le together. You're really amazing!"

Gu Shaoyu held An An, who was too frightened to move, and looked at Lele, who was equally safe in Xiang Huanian's backpack. He gave Xiang Huanian a thumbs up, and then went to report that he was safe to Lin Yunchu, who had been on the phone with him.

After being teased by Gu Shaoyu, Xiang Huanian gradually recovered. After recovering, he realized that the distance between him and Gu Lingyan was a little too close.

There was no time to tell whether the beating of his heart was due to the fear left by the shock or something else. Xiang Huanian wanted to get out of the ambiguous atmosphere first.

Because his right foot was injured, Xiang Huanian tried to stand on his left foot. While slightly breaking away from Gu Lingyan's embrace, he thanked him stiffly:

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, I can stand on my own...hiss..."

Before he could finish his words, the pain from his equally injured shoulder was transmitted to his brain. He was not paying attention for a moment, and his already weak body made Xiang Huanian's body shaky.

Seeing this, Gu Lingyan grabbed Xiang Huanian's slender wrist with one hand, and put his other hand around Xiang Huanian's back, and said to Xiang Huanian in an attitude that could not be refused:

"Don't be so stubborn, where are you hurt?"

Xiang Huanian didn't dare to look up, his eyes only looked at the ground.

"It's okay, thank you Mr. Gu, my physical condition is too disappointing..."

He is not the type of person who likes to trouble others, and the pain is bearable. Xiang Huanian thought about going back and dealing with it himself later.

But unexpectedly, Gu Lingyan interrupted Xiang Huanian's words:

"No, you're already great."

After speaking, Gu Lingyan gently touched Xiang Huanian's head.

The big hand on my head is warm and reassuring.

From childhood to adulthood, even her family had never comforted her so gently.

that moment.

The panic seemed to have finally found an outlet. Xiang Huanian's nose felt sore, and big tears flowed out like broken strings.

Xiang Huanian lowered her head even deeper, trying to hide her fragile expression with her loose hair.

"Little sister, your sister has something to tell you..."

Gu Shaoyu walked a few steps away to report his safety to Lin Yunchu. According to Lin Yunchu's request, he returned and let Xiang Huanian answer the phone. However, when he saw Gu Lingyan's intimate attitude towards Xiang Huanian, he was speechless for a moment.

"Suck it, okay."

Xiang Huanian sniffed, wiped his tears hastily, and took the phone from Gu Shaoyu with his uninjured right hand.

"Hello, Sister Yunchu?"

The girl's voice still had a nasal tone after crying, and the hoarseness after being choked by the thick smoke had not yet recovered. Gu Lingyan, Gu Shaoyu, and Lin Yunchu on the phone who were present couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Lin Yunchu's already gentle tone became even softer:

"Niannian, I've heard Shaoyu say it all. Thank you so much for rescuing An'an and Lele. If it weren't for you, they would definitely... I can't even imagine it."

Lin Yunchu felt a wave of fear just hearing Gu Shaoyu's retelling of the fire situation over the phone. She was really grateful to Xiang Huanian -

Not only did he protect his own personal safety, but he also rescued An An and Le Le, pets who, in the eyes of most people, were destined not to be taken with them in the escape.

"Are you okay? Are you injured? If so, I'll ask your brother-in-law to take you to the hospital."

The care in the phone was so gentle that Xiang Huanian even began to doubt whether it was real.

Sister Yunchu is so nice.

"No need, Sister Yunchu, I'm fine. It's just a minor scratch. The fire has been put out and it didn't reach the 6th floor. I'll go back and disinfect it with iodine later..."

Xiang Huanian looked back at the fire and confirmed that it had been put out by the quick firefighters. The firefighters also returned to the car with a relaxed look and replied nonchalantly.

But when Gu Lingyan, who was standing next to him, heard Xiang Huanian say that they wanted to go back, his face showed clear disapproval.

Lin Yunchu is also like this.

"No, the neighborhood will be in chaos by then. And I just heard from Shao Yu that the fire has spread to the 7th floor, just one floor away! No! It's too dangerous. What if it collapses in the middle of the night? I'll let Shao Yu take you to a nearby hotel and get a room. Don't go back. No, I told Shao Yu to give him your phone."

"..."

Xiang Huanian had not expected Lin Yunchu's toughness, but the collapse the other party mentioned made Xiang Huanian, who had no knowledge of "whether nearby floors that were not affected by the fire can continue to be lived in", start to worry, thinking that there was no need to be stubborn at this time.

So, Xiang Huanian obediently handed the phone to Gu Shaoyu.

Who knows.

"No, let's go to our house."

Gu Lingyan said firmly.

Xiang Huanian: “?”

Gu Shaoyu, who had roughly deduced from Gu Lingyan's daily behavior that his brother really had no interest in girls, said: "!?!"

On the other side of the phone, Lin Yunchu, who had also heard the rumor that Gu Lingyan didn't like girls, said: "!!!"

An An Le Le, not knowing what would happen next: "Meow/Woof?"
