Chapter 36 - He Only Wanted to Hug

Chapter 36 He Only Wanted to Hug Her

Bai Yunfei was a little confused. ‘Wasn’t Jingnan watching TV just now? Why does he want to head out so late out of the blue?’

Nonetheless, Lu Jingnan had returned to his room to change out of his clothes.

Bai Yunfei racked through his memory. ‘What did he say just now? He wants to go to Guangfu Road?’

“Breaking news. There’s a fire in Zijing District on Guangfu Road. The fire brigade has headed there along with police cars. Please take a detour and make way for people to evacuate…”

Lu Jingnan had not turned off the television, so Bai Yunfei heard the breaking news. Now that Lu Jingnan wanted to go there, he could not care too much.

Fortunately, Bai Yunfei was not wearing pajamas, so he did not have to change. He hurriedly went downstairs to the garage and rode his motorcycle out. He had heard the news. If he listened to his cousin and drove there instead of taking the bike, they would be stuck on the road.

Lu Jingnan hurriedly ran down from upstairs and saw Bai Yunfei wearing a motorcycle helmet on the motorcycle. He was surprised to see Bai Yunwei holding out a helmet for him. ‘Didn’t I ask him to take the car?’

Bai Yunfei seemed to read his mind. “There’s a fire in the residential area on Guangfu Road. The fire brigade has moved out. It’s inconvenient to drive, so this thing would take us there faster. Come on up, bro. I promise to send you to the scene as fast as possible.”

Lu Jingnan heard the last sentence and was moved.

He did not say anything more. He put on his helmet and got on Bai Yunfei’s Seymour motorbike.

Due to their impatience, the two of them were in a hurry when they went downstairs. When they closed the door, they did not care to be quiet and gentle. A flurry of sounds around the house woke up Old Master Bai, who had not been sleeping well.

“What are Yunfei and Jingnan doing? Why did they run out of the house in the middle of the night?” Old Master Bai sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.

The sound of Bai Yunfei’s Seymour was very loud, and he ran away in a flash. Old Master Bai was furious.

Old Madam Bai was also startled awake. “Forget it. Young people are full of life. They like to stay up late. They’re different from us old people. Look at your second son’s family. This is the reason they don’t want to live with us. Only your third son and his wife are truly filial.”

Speaking of Bai Yongyan’s family of four who did not want to live here, Old Master Bai snorted coldly. “They still don’t want to? Given his wife’s behavior, even if he wants to, I won’t agree to it.”

Old Madam Bai sneered. “Alright, alright. You’re so stubborn on the surface, but you can’t wait for the whole family to be together. Back then, when Weiwei wanted to get married to Cloud City, who was the one who made the world go round and round? On the day of the wedding, you shut Shenqiu out of the door and refused to let him in. How many people advised you then?”

They almost missed the auspicious time back then.

Old Master Bai was furious. Was it appropriate to dig up all old grudges right before bed?

“It’s past 12:00 am. Hurry up and go to bed. You’re so insufferable.” Old Master Bai turned off the light again.

Old Madam Bai smiled. Did he think she was naggy?

The old master dared to act like that in the past, but he did not allow anyone to mention it anymore. He was overbearing. If the old madam was not sleepy, she would have sat up and talked to the old man properly.

SO

On the way, fortunately, Bai Yunfei rode his Seymour. People who drove cars were all stuck on the road. It was so late, yet there were still so many cars on the road. It could be seen that the nightlife of the common people in Jing City was quite happening. Bai Yunfei used the shortest time to send Lu Jingnan to the Zijing District. The entire journey from the Bai Residence to here took 13 minutes and 35 seconds.

It could not have been done if they took the car.

Lu Jingnan got off the bike. He was ready to enter the neighborhood and look for someone.

Nevertheless, Bai Yunfei pulled him back. “Cousin, you’re in such a hurry. Is there someone you know here?”

“You should go back first. I’ll tell you later.” Lu Jingnan shook his hand and left.

Bai Yunfei. “…”

Lu Jingnan was quick to abandon him after he did not need him anymore.

When Lu Jingnan reached the entrance of the neighborhood, Tang Shan called him and told him their detailed location. Most importantly, Tang Shan reported to him that Song Ruyi and Song Wanwan were safe and sound. The only thing was that Song Ruyi sprained her leg. Compared to those who were burned by the fire, this was nothing.

Lu Jingnan hung up the phone and walked toward the location that Tang Shan had told him.

Song Ruyi and Song Wanwan had successfully been evacuated. They were arranged by the property management staff to rest in a pavilion in the garden of the residential area.

After it was safe, Song Ruyi wanted Tang Shan to go back first. It was so late. She could not let Tang Shan accompany them to waste time here.

Even so, Tang Shan did not leave. He even brought them water to drink. After that, Tang Shan walked to the side to make a phone call.

Song Wanwan was scared. She hugged Song Ruyi tightly, and her small body started to tremble at this moment.

Song Ruyi could only give her an absolute sense of security and tell her that she was fine.

Despite that, the fire was very big, and it had reached the ninth floor. She only hoped that all the residents of their building would be safe and sound.

That said, hope was merely hope. The people on the sixth floor were trapped in the fire. A group of firemen had arrived to come to their rescue. There were also ambulances parked at the door, waiting for rescue at any time.

When Lu Jingnan rushed over, he saw from afar that Song Ruyi was hugging Song Wanwan. The mother and daughter were embracing each other tightly.

Their backs were facing him. Looking at Song Ruyi’s thin and slender body, his heart ached. Thinking about what they had gone through, he was afraid that they were still in shock.

Did Song Ruyi not say that she could take care of the child by herself?

To Lu Jingnan, she was in a terrible state.

There were many people around Song Ruyi. They could see everything that had happened after the disaster.

However, Lu Jingnan could not see them at the moment. He could only see Song Ruyi and her daughter. His eyes were fixed on them as he strode over.

It was good that they were fine.

After seeing that they were safe and sound, he was relieved, but his heart ached again.

He walked over and stood in front of Song Ruyi.

The two of them looked at each other. Song Ruyi slowly placed Wanwan on the ground. She stood up. She was 1.67 meters tall. In front of Lu Jingnan, who was 1.8 meters tall, she was still very petite.

Song Ruyi looked at his face and got lost in his starry eyes.

She did not know if it was because she had experienced such a big event tonight, but she was grateful that Lu Jingnan had arranged for Tang Shan to stay nearby in advance. Otherwise, she was not sure if she and Wanwan could escape successfully.

Before this happened, the distance from the ninth floor to the sixth floor was only a few seconds by elevator. After experiencing this herself, Song Ruyi realized that the distance from the ninth floor to the sixth floor was so far. It was tiring for her to walk.

When Song Ruyi raised her head, Lu Jingnan knew she must be in a sorry state without needing to see her face. Now that he saw her face, he realized that she was in an incredibly sorry state.

“You

“

Song Ruyi opened her mouth. She had drunk half a bottle of water just now, but at this moment, she realized that her throat was dry and that her voice was hoarse.

At the next second, Lu Jingnan pulled her into his arms tightly. He was worried that Song Ruyi would resist, so he reached out and pressed the back of her head so that they would be closer together.

He did not want to ask himself why he was doing this. All he knew was that his hands were following his heart. He only wanted to hug her and hold her tightly so that he could guarantee her safety.
