Chapter 411: Chapter 411: On Fire
The sound of water gushing persisted for half an hour before Ye Gushen finally saw her come out. Her small face was flushed from the steam, and even her lips were adorned with a dewy sheen, reminiscent of the enticing lips she had that night after applying lip gloss.
Ye Gushen’s body tensed all over,
Tang Suiyu was drying her hair. He took the hairdryer and quickly helped her dry it.
Just as Tang Suiyu got up, she turned around and fell into Ye Gushen’s tight embrace.
She was almost suffocating.
She forcefully pushed him away, taking deep breaths, "I’m so tired, I want to sleep."
"Let’s sleep together."
Lying on the bed, Ye Gushen held her. The familiar scent surrounded them, but though Tang Suiyu squinted her eyes, she couldn’t fall asleep.
Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.
It was all because of Brother Bei, why did he have to tell her about that!
She’d rather not know!
"Ah!"
In the darkness, she exclaimed.
Because she was constantly moving around, Ye Gushen hadn’t slept either. When she screamed, his hand naturally tightened, "What’s wrong? Nightmare?"
"No..." Tang Suiyu moved her body slightly to the side, "You must be very busy, right?"
"Yes."
He had always been busy.
"Then you should sleep early, there’s been a lot going on tonight. I’ll fall asleep soon." She tried hard to make herself sleep.
But her body was slightly away from Ye Gushen, and even in the darkness, he frowned at the minute movement.
Something was wrong with Ruannuan.
It seemed like she no longer liked his approach and touch.
Tang Suiyu didn’t know how she fell asleep.
It seemed in her daze, she even rolled into Ye Gushen’s arms.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
She dreamt of a fire.
"Ruannuan? Ruannuan?" Ye Gushen held her and sat up, he hadn’t been asleep, and now she couldn’t wake up.
The thick blanket was soaked, and he wrapped her in it. This was the third floor, jumping down might not kill them, but they would certainly become crippled.
"So cold, so freezing!" Tang Suiyu furrowed her brows, her eyes darting around before she forced them open.
She was like a silk cocoon baby held tightly in Ye Gushen’s arms.
"Where are we going, ah! Is there really a fire?" She instantly became tense, "Put me down, I can walk on my own!"
"You’re not wearing shoes. I’ll carry you." Ye Gushen glanced at her. By now, the room was already filled with smoke.
"Don’t worry, I’ll get you out safely." Even if he couldn’t get out safely, he would ensure her safety.
In the hallway, white thick smoke had already spread.
The Tang Family had many servants, and those downstairs were already pulling hoses to fight the fire.
But the fire was too big to be extinguished quickly.
Ye Gushen held her, half-squatting as he moved towards the staircase.
She shut her eyes in discomfort, tears gradually seeping out.
She shouldn’t have doubted Uncle Ye, he was so good to her.
She wanted to hug him so badly, but her hands were trapped, and she couldn’t even move.
"Sui Sui! Sui Sui!"
Her father was calling her!
"I’m fine! You go down first, we’ll be right there!" Tang Suiyu yelled.
A damp mask covered her mouth and nose, "Do you know that in fires, most people don’t die from burns but from suffocation."
"Then you should stop talking!" Tang Suiyu struggled to stretch one hand outwards, realizing that a mask can’t be split into two.
Without hesitation, she placed the mask over Ye Gushen’s mouth and nose.
Ye Gushen looked down at her.
