Becoming the Yandere Omega's Fluffy Pet - Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Liu Ran discovered that after that night at the pool, the way Ming Siyu looked at her seemed to have changed slightly.
It was like an apex predator admiring a captured prey; because she was too full to eat it immediately, she temporarily confined the prey, waiting until she was hungry to kill and swallow it into her stomach. Regardless, during this period of waiting for hunger, the prey could not escape the palm of her hand.
At the same time, there was a sense of inquiry: when eating, should she bite through the neck first, or cut open the heart and dig out the liver?
The feeling of being stared at like a dish was truly unpleasant. The animal instinct for predicting danger made Liu Ran’s hair stand on end whenever she sensed Ming Siyu’s gaze. Liu Ran reflected on her actions over these past few days but couldn’t think of where she had offended Ming Siyu again. Finally, on a night when Ming Siyu once again lay on the bed in her room, Liu Ran couldn’t help but ask.
She didn’t dare ask directly, but rather beat around the bush: “President Ming, how has my performance been lately?”
Ming Siyu had commandeered two pillows on the bed; now, there were more of her things in Liu Ran’s room than Liu Ran’s own.
She answered lazily: “Not bad.”
Liu Ran was even more confused. If it was “not bad,” why did Ming Siyu look at her with that kind of gaze? Had she misunderstood?
She went to shower in doubt. For more than two hours before bed, neither of them spoke much. It was time to sleep; Liu Ran turned off the light and lay down properly. Suddenly, the sound of someone sitting up came to her ears, followed by the depression of the pillow being weighed down. In the darkness, Ming Siyu unerringly turned her chin over and kissed her on the bridge of her nose. “Not bad means the Master has been liking the little wolf a lot lately. I have business tomorrow; He Qiange will take you to the jewelry exhibition. Pick out whatever you like and treat it as a reward, hm?”
Liu Ran’s earlobes burned, and she gave a low response.
Ming Siyu contentedly grabbed her tail, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep.
Liu Ran, however, suffered a rare bout of insomnia.
She kept thinking in her heart: which “like” did the “like” Ming Siyu mentioned belong to? Hadn’t Ming Siyu always hated her, tortured her, and treated her as nothing? Why did she suddenly say she liked her?
And it was “liking a lot.”
Could it be that her recent performance was becoming more and more like a qualified pet, which is why Ming Siyu liked her?
Realizing this, Liu Ran was even more unable to sleep. She believed she hadn’t deliberately tried to please Ming Siyu lately like a puppy pleasing its master. Ming Siyu had been quite normal most of the time these past few days, without engaging in any malicious humiliation; she had simply treated Ming Siyu like a normal person. Had she already become Ming Siyu’s dog without even realizing it? That was too terrifying.
She tossed and turned until the middle of the night before finally feeling sleepy. Her tail was held by Ming Siyu; if she wanted to change positions, she could only move in small increments. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Ming Siyu, who usually slept as motionless as if her pressure points had been struck, suddenly mumbled an indistinct sleep-talk. The hand holding the tail didn’t loosen, and the other hand reached out from under the blanket to rest on Liu Ran’s waist.
Liu Ran froze all over. She cautiously turned her head to look at Ming Siyu; Ming Siyu was very close to her, her face almost touching Liu Ran’s back. Liu Ran light-footedly lifted the blanket and took Ming Siyu’s hand off her waist; Ming Siyu was sleeping like a log and didn’t wake up at all.
Because Ming Siyu was sleeping so deeply, Liu Ran couldn’t help but begin to suspect whether the so-called insomnia was just an excuse to pull her tail to sleep; Ming Siyu might not have any sleep problems at all.
But when Ming Siyu wanted to do something to her, she was always direct; she wouldn’t go as far as inventing an insomnia reason just to hold a tail while sleeping.
Liu Ran proposed a hypothesis, rejected the hypothesis, and finally drifted off to sleep muddledly.
The next day, Ming Siyu went out early. As for what she was going to do, she didn’t say, and Liu Ran didn’t ask; she went to see the jewelry exhibition with He Qiange. The hotel had a professional exhibition hall for rent; this jewelry exhibition was set up in the hotel’s hall, just a floor down. The exhibition was not open to the public, only to brand VIP customers. There weren’t many people, and many exhibits already had labels attached, representing they were sold.
He Qiange had no research on jewelry itself, yet she spoke eloquently about which types of clothes they were respectively suited for. Regardless of whether Liu Ran was listening, she chatted happily to herself. Finally, she looked at a set of fire-color diamond necklaces, her gaze oscillating between the necklace and Liu Ran. “This matches quite well with what you’re wearing today. Did Sisi say she’d buy it for you?”
Liu Ran nodded. She didn’t understand jewelry; she only felt the piece in the display case before He Qiange was indeed beautiful, though the price was also terrifyingly expensive.
“Sisi is so generous to you.” He Qiange was a bit envious and jealous. “I told you a long time ago, Sisi likes you very much. If she likes someone, she can spoil them to the heavens.”
He Qiange watched for a while and said she got tired more easily since becoming pregnant; she went out to rest, and Liu Ran followed her out. He Qiange answered a phone call in the rest area—a strange number. After listening to the other party for a few seconds, she bit her teeth ferociously and said: “I don’t want to see you. Go die right now, immediately.”
Then she hung up and blacklisted the number in one smooth motion.
He Qiange placed her hand over her lower abdomen and let out a low sigh. Liu Ran guessed the person on the other end was Xiao Yuenong. She lowered her head and silently scrolled through her phone. In the “Discover” tab, an extra little red dot appeared. Clicking in, Ming Siyu’s avatar appeared in the “Moments” line; Ming Siyu had actually posted to her Moments, which was rare.
It was posted after eight in the morning, with four pictures: one of clear blue sea and sky, one of a platinum beach, one an overview map of the real estate project, and the last one was of a person wearing sunglasses splashing in the sea. Without even clicking to enlarge the picture, just looking at the swimsuit color, Liu Ran recognized the person in the picture was herself. The white foam kicked up by the waves just happened to cover the half of her tail that was exposed.
The caption was only a wave emoji.
Just as Liu Ran was hesitating whether to like the post, He Qiange beside her suddenly bounced up from the sofa as if struck by an electric shock. Her eyes were wide as if she had seen appalling news; her hand covered her mouth, and the hand holding the phone was trembling.
Mindful that she was pregnant even though the child would be removed before long, it was still in He Qiange’s stomach after all Liu Ran stood up nervously as well.
He Qiange turned to look at her, her eyes filled with horror, her lips moving.
“Sisi is in trouble.”
Liu Ran: “What?”
What trouble? What happened to Ming Siyu?
He Qiange turned the phone over to show Liu Ran. The phone was playing a live stream; the background was a building that looked like a hospital, but it was currently on fire. Screams and cries in the distance rose one after another, many people were running around, and vehicles passing the entrance were blocked. Someone was shouting through a megaphone, sounding like they were calling out “calm down,” “put it down,” and such.
The streamer excitedly said that a real-life version of hostages, robbers, and a gunfight was unfolding here.
Liu Ran didn’t understand what this had to do with Ming Siyu.
“This is a private hospital.” He Qiange’s eyes were out of focus, and her speech was a bit unsteady: “In the city center… I persuaded Sisi to go here for a physical check-up… She went out by herself this morning to go there…”
It turned out Ming Siyu went out today to go to the hospital for a check-up; Ming Siyu was sick. She had thought there was business with the real estate project that needed Ming Siyu’s attention.
Is Ming Siyu still in the hospital now?
Liu Ran and He Qiange looked at each other, seeing anxiety in each other’s eyes. In He Qiange’s eyes, there was even more fear.
He Qiange’s phone was still playing the live stream; a medium-sized gunshot struck everyone’s eardrums. Country A banned guns, but the control of firearms in Country B was far less strict than in Country A.
He Qiange grabbed her bag, took three steps in two to intercept the hotel manager who happened to be passing by, and demanded that he immediately prepare a car for her.
Liu Ran picked up her phone to call Ming Siyu. In her contact list, there was always only one person, “A Master.” Every time Liu Ran contacted Ming Siyu, she would think of the self-assured look she had when she entered the phone number into her phone, making a middle finger gesture or a grimace before dialing.
This time she didn’t have that mind. When the call went out, waves of cold traveled from her fingertips up to her arms, as if she weren’t touching a phone screen but an ice magic curse that would make one’s whole body go cold at a touch.
The “beep beep beep” waiting for the answer seemed to last half a century until the busy tone appeared. Ming Siyu didn’t answer the phone.
Liu Ran swallowed her saliva and dialed again.
The last time they were searching for Jian Huaici on a stormy day, Ming Siyu also didn’t answer her phone like this. At that time, she didn’t know Ming Siyu’s specific location but was only slightly flustered because she could be sure Ming Siyu should be in the same building as her.
But this time was different; the end of the unanswered phone call was a matter of life or death.
After being with Ming Siyu day and night for so long, even if the other party were a dead object, feelings would have developed, let alone Ming Siyu being a person who could speak and breathe.
Pick up, pick up, pick up. Liu Ran dialed while chanting in her heart.
She had never been so desperate to hear Ming Siyu’s voice. She hoped Ming Siyu’s phone was turned off like last time, but the busy tone indicated it wasn’t turned off, but rather that the other party temporarily had no way to answer.
He Qiange waited for the manager to communicate and arrange the car, looking at Liu Ran who was calling to confirm. Liu Ran didn’t know if she was speaking to herself or to He Qiange: “Maybe she’s not at the hospital anymore, or maybe she hasn’t had time to arrive at the hospital yet and the phone is on silent so she didn’t answer.”
The fourth call was almost over when it finally connected.
Liu Ran immediately held the receiver to her ear: “Ming Siyu, where are you?”
“I am…”
Ming Siyu had only said two words when her voice suddenly weakened. A heavy and sharp clattering sound jolted Liu Ran’s ear; she immediately guessed the phone had fallen to the ground.
Behind it seemed to follow a string of faint words, like someone shouting far away, and then the call was hung up.
He Qiange anxiously snatched the phone from Liu Ran’s hand: “I’ll do it!”
No matter who did it, it was useless. Calling again, the prompt directly said the other party’s phone was turned off.
The manager quickly found a car for He Qiange. He Qiange pulled Liu Ran outward, gripping her tightly. “It’s not like in Country A here; we don’t know many people. Every person counts. Sisi is your master, your boss, you must come with me. If nothing is wrong, that’s best; if nothing is wrong, we’ll bring her back.”
On the way to the hospital, He Qiange was so scared she almost threw up bile. Ming Siyu going to that hospital was at her strong request, after much persuasion; she said that a disease that doctors at home couldn’t figure out might be figured out by those abroad. Since they were already here, this private hospital’s medical level was very good an aunt close to her family had given birth to a child here.
Ming Siyu didn’t like going to hospitals; check-ups like injections and blood draws were also very annoying. She said she had checked so many times and it would be the same again; she was already prepared for death, the only thing she needed to reconsider was whether to redistribute her inheritance. He Qiange believed that one more attempt meant one more possibility; the illness Ming Siyu had was too strange, maybe it was a misdiagnosis and actually nothing was wrong at all.
Ming Siyu had never agreed. A few days ago, while Liu Ran was battling waves in the sea, the two of them were blowing the sea breeze on beach chairs, and Ming Siyu suddenly asked her if that hospital required an appointment. He Qiange asked in surprise: “You changed your mind?”
Things Ming Siyu was certain about were rarely changed; she was the type to hit the south wall and keep going.
This time she had actually changed her mind on her own initiative.
“Mm. I think you’re right. Since we’re already here, there’s no harm in trying more. Maybe there will be a pleasant surprise.”
Ming Siyu even persuaded her to have the child removed here. He Qiange was hesitant and wanted to wait a bit longer. Ming Siyu drove there by herself this morning.
If anything happened to Ming Siyu at that hospital, it would be 100% related to her; He Qiange felt she would be guilty for a lifetime. She almost floored the gas pedal; the road to the hospital seemed exceptionally long, as if it would never end.
He Qiange drove, while Liu Ran conducted emergency searches for related information in the passenger seat. There were streamers who didn’t mind the chaos providing real-time commentary. Liu Ran used relevant posts and live stream content to quickly piece together the cause and effect. It seemed a foreign coal tycoon, who started by mining coal, had a minor health problem and was undergoing physical therapy here. But the coal tycoon made blood money and offended the local mafia.
The mafia people pursued him all the way to Country B and cornered the coal tycoon in the hospital this morning, using guns and fire, determined to draw some blood from the other party. Country B police also arrived, but the surroundings were all chaotic citizens. Most of the patients in the hospital held a certain social status, plus the director was also held hostage; for a while, the police didn’t dare act rashly, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
For other people in the hospital, it was simply an unprovoked disaster. A small portion of people had already been evacuated, but more were trapped in the hospital. All exits were guarded by the mafia, who didn’t care at all if they would harm innocent crowds; perhaps using the lives of other innocents to force the coal tycoon to make a quick decision was precisely their intention.
Liu Ran also didn’t stop contacting Ming Siyu along the way. But calling there, it was always turned off.
The sudden incident caused road closures. The cars ahead, regardless of left or right lanes, were all driving back. Only a few cars were heading upstream. He Qiange cursed those cars driving the wrong way while pushing forward persistently. Midway, she boldly drove on the grass beside the lane for a section; Liu Ran sat in the passenger seat like she was on a bumper car.
After colliding with another car and knocking off the side mirror, He Qiange didn’t dare drive anymore. She held her arm, hissing as she breathed cold air, saying her arm seemed fractured from the impact.
The two were forced to get out of the car. Fortunately, at this time, they were only a few hundred meters from the scene of the accident. Liu Ran took off running. He Qiange had only one arm that could move normally; she didn’t know whether to hold her stomach or her arm. The He family young lady, who had been pampered as she grew up, had never suffered such pain. While crying, cursing, and praying Ming Siyu was fine, she followed behind at a small run.
Liu Ran arrived first. The scene was even more chaotic and terrifying than what was seen in the live streams and posts. Liu Ran grabbed a tall woman in a police uniform and asked how the situation was. The police obviously had directly given up on this matter; the mafia refused to negotiate with the police, so the police at most provided some off-field support.
The focus was still on the negotiation results between the coal tycoon and the mafia. However, the negotiation results were clearly unsatisfactory because a nurse had just been shot dead, and the body had been thrown down from the third floor.
The policewoman even casually smoked a cigarette, shrugged her shoulders, and said to Liu Ran: “The hospital’s oxygen pipes were blown up five minutes ago. Your relatives or friends are in the hospital right now?”
Liu Ran looked blankly at the hospital, “No, it’s my boss…”
“Oh, congratulations! You should light fireworks to celebrate now. You only need to buy fireworks, you don’t even need to buy a lighter; there’s fire everywhere here.”
After a bit of dark humor, the policewoman answered her walkie-talkie and walked aside to symbolically maintain order. Liu Ran searched for Ming Siyu’s shadow in the crowd. She didn’t see the person but found the car Ming Siyu had driven in the outdoor parking lot. She searched online for the few photos of Ming Siyu and stopped several people who looked like personnel who had escaped from the hospital at the beginning, asking them if they had seen such a person. All she got were negative answers.
He Qiange arrived panting, saying to Liu Ran in despair that Ming Siyu was still inside the hospital.
On the way over, she had received a text message from Ming Siyu. The message was sent twenty minutes ago; she didn’t know why she was only receiving it now. Ming Siyu said concisely that she believed this was very likely a terrorist attack; she was hiding in the bathroom on the west side of the second floor, telling He Qiange to contact police and fire rescue as soon as possible.
He Qiange insisted the police and fire department go in to rescue the person, but was met with refusal. The reason for refusal was also very sufficient: they are also human and can also die; intruding before confirming the other party won’t fire would only be seen as a provocation by the other party and might cause greater casualties.
He Qiange’s offer to pay also left them unmoved. They also “generously” moved the blockade to open a passage, saying if she was in a hurry to save the person she could go herself; some people’s bodyguards had just gone in privately to save their masters, but they hadn’t come out yet.
Moreover, Ming Siyu was in the second-floor bathroom twenty minutes ago; no one could be sure where she was now.
He Qiange anxiously pushed Liu Ran: “You go!”
Liu Ran jumped away instantly: “I’m not going!”
She didn’t want to die for Ming Siyu!
“If my arm weren’t broken, I would have gone myself. You think your life will be easy if Sisi dies? Just that group of her relatives could skin you alive and eat you until not even your bones are left.” He Qiange shouted, “The public security abroad really can’t be trusted. This group of police has given up. If it drags on longer, who knows what those people who kill and set fires will do. Sisi, she—”
Liu Ran’s heart was almost filled with indignation and fear. Every word He Qiange said was correct, but Ming Siyu’s life was a life, so was her life not a life? Inside was a group of mafia who had killed people! What did she have to contend with that group of people?
He Qiange grabbed Liu Ran’s collar with her intact hand: “Sisi, she is so good to you, better than to her family members. she still has the conglomerate, the company, so many mouths depending on her to eat… consider it my plea to you, please.”
“But I’m not necessarily able to bring her out!”
“But if you don’t go try, it definitely won’t work! Sisi, her health is not good; depending only on herself, she definitely won’t be able to come out…”
At this time, two people who looked like well-equipped bodyguards bypassed the police blockade, appearing to go into the hospital to save someone. The blockade pulled by the police was mainly used to stop passersby. There were several figures with status in Country B trapped inside; before the formal negotiation and rescue plan came out, if people’s own bodyguards wanted to go save them, they couldn’t stop them.
He Qiange seized the opportunity to ask about the situation and learned that the mafia was mainly concentrated on the fifth floor and above. The fire on the first and second floors was relatively serious, and only a few people were watching. With basic protection, it was relatively easy to sneak in from the first and second floors.
Now that it was so chaotic outside, sneaking in a few people from a blind spot might not be noticed. He Qiange suggested letting those two bodyguards save Ming Siyu along the way; she could give money and let the other party name any price. Unfortunately, the bodyguards only had their employer in their eyes and refused.
He Qiange came back with the latest information and begged Liu Ran again: “Five minutes. Just go in and search for five minutes. The second floor is still quite safe. You just need to search according to the location Sisi sent. When five minutes are up, regardless of whether you find her or not, you come out. I’m really begging you, Liu Ran!”
Saying that, as if to confirm the “five-minute” time limit, He Qiange took off the limited diamond watch from her wrist, buckled it onto Liu Ran’s wrist with one hand, and said while crying: “You are really important to Sisi; is Sisi nothing to you?”
The diamond watch was cold and heavy; the second hand on the dial moved jump by jump like a heart, counting down the passing of life.
Liu Ran was afraid of fire.
Wild animals naturally fear fire; the genes belonging to the ice field wolf were constantly urging her to flee, to stay away from danger. The human part of her genes was the same; after her mother was burned to a charred corpse in a big fire, she had an immense fear of fire.
This fear burned more and more intensely, so much so that when facing fireworks, cigarette butts, and a series of things related to fire, she would unconsciously resist. It was just that in most cases, she could control herself from losing her composure.
Seeing that pleading was unsuccessful, He Qiange changed her strategy: “Don’t refuse the easy way only to be forced. Now your life and Sisi’s are tied together. If you don’t go save her, you won’t even be able to get on the plane back to Country A. You’ll just wait to mysteriously disappear in Country B and be chopped into pieces and thrown into the sea!”
In a daze, Liu Ran didn’t hear clearly what He Qiange was saying. As if possessed, she nodded her head, her eyes looking empty at the hospital window, “Five minutes.”
She repeated it again: “Just five minutes.”
Things turned around, and He Qiange was overjoyed.
Liu Ran buckled the watch tight, took off her coat, found water nearby to wet it and tie it around her waist, and followed behind those two bodyguards, quietly approaching one side of the hospital.
She kept chanting: Second floor… second-floor bathroom…
The muscles and nerves of her whole body were in a state of high tension, so much so that her eyes couldn’t see anything else, only the second-floor window. Those two bodyguards estimated the height and chose to enter from the first floor.
Liu Ran didn’t follow. She jumped in place twice like a high jumper warming up to find the feeling before the competition, and then she leaped suddenly. Her muscles instantly exploded with extremely strong jumping power. When she jumped to the highest point, she kicked hard on the wall, raised her hand to grasp the second-floor windowsill, propped her arm, tucked her legs, and she disappeared into the window lightly and powerfully.
The whole process was only 0.5 seconds. For a moment, Liu Ran felt that she indeed was a wolf. The ice field wolf genes not only gave her a unique appearance but also strengthened her muscles and other abilities, such as smell, night vision, and pain tolerance.
The moment she entered the hospital corridor, the pores of Liu Ran’s whole body exploded. The temperature was at least ten degrees higher than outside. Opening her hand, there were several white marks after being burned in her palm. The open fire in the corridor made her vision go dark, and the pungent smell produced by the burning of alcohol and other chemical reagents and medicines surged into her nasal cavity. Steeling her nerves, she covered her mouth and nose with the wet clothes and took a deep breath; her vision cleared slightly.
The fire was not as large as imagined; the mafia people hadn’t completely lost their reason. Once the fire truly became out of control, no one would be able to escape.
But those clusters of bright, jumping flames brought waves of heat, making breathing painful and skin feel as if it were about to crack.
Her neck seemed to be pinched by a hand; she gasped for air, her eye sockets tightened, her vision turned white, and her brain was in a muddle.
The scene in front of her overlapped with the scene of her home on fire that she had dreamed of countless times. The difference was that in the dream, the one in the fire was her mother; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pull her mother back from death. Now the one facing the big fire was her, going to try to find a woman she loved but couldn’t fall in love with, and hated but couldn’t hate to the end.
She hadn’t had time to walk out from the big fire of memory before she was once again in the middle of it.
Swallowing her saliva with difficulty, Liu Ran steadied her mind and crossed the corridor to find the bathroom Ming Siyu mentioned in the text message. The bathroom was not on the side she was on. Liu Ran observed the surroundings; she would have to cross nearly a hundred meters of corridor to reach it.
She walked carefully along the base of the wall. After a while, a dull and short gunshot came from upstairs, accompanied by a burst of chaotic screams. She guessed those two bodyguards had started fighting with the mafia in the building. Just as she was about to continue walking, her wolf ears keenly captured footsteps walking up the stairs.
She immediately pressed against the wall and held her breath. At this time, a plaque on the wall fell down. Her hat had fallen off when she climbed the wall; the scalding plaque with fire scorched her wolf ear and hit her shoulder before falling to the ground.
Liu Ran took advantage of the moment it landed to flash into a nearby unclosed department door. Since she entered the second floor, she hadn’t seen a single person. She guessed that all doctors, nurses, and patients who could run had run, and those who didn’t run successfully had been caught one by one and concentrated upstairs to be guarded as hostages. She didn’t know how Ming Siyu had dodged it. At this time, the ones going upstairs were likely the mafia’s accomplices, going to help after hearing the gunshots.
Sure enough, the footsteps stopped at the entrance of the second-floor stairs. She heard a foreign man with an accent say: “I heard a sound here.”
This was followed by a bullet being chambered. Footsteps approached.
After a few seconds, they stopped. Another man said: “It’s just a plastic plaque. We better go upstairs quickly.”
When the footsteps indeed went upstairs, Liu Ran poked half her head out, confirmed no one was there, and hurriedly continued forward.
Her breathing became heavier and heavier. The bathroom sign was finally close at hand. Only less than two minutes of time remained. Liu Ran walked and walked and walked herself sober, regretting that she had agreed to He Qiange to come in and find the person; with one slip, her life would be lost. Now she only wanted to quickly find a chance to leave.
But she happened to have arrived at the target location. It would be too a pity to give up halfway at this moment. Liu Ran first whispered “Ming Siyu” at the door. No one responded, so she began to open the stalls one by one to find her.
Finally, she even opened the bucket for washing mops to take a look, but she didn’t find a single person.
Was Ming Siyu taken away? Did she find a chance to run out? Or was she dead?
Liu Ran stood in place, feeling the scorching air, at a loss for a moment.
Looking down at her watch, there were only ten seconds left until five minutes. She had tried her best; she could leave. Jump out from that window she came from.
Ten, nine, eight, seven.
Counted down to six.
Suddenly, a faint, extremely tiny clattering sound pierced into her ear that was currently bleeding. It wasn’t from the bathroom; it was from another direction, crossing walls, doors, and corridors, wading through the flames flowing on the ground, running to her and letting her hear it.
Liu Ran intuitively felt it was Ming Siyu.
She subconsciously took a step in the direction from which the sound came.
And it was only a single step.
Her stomach felt like it had been hit hard by a punch; she wanted to dry heave.
Don’t go. She said to herself.
If Ming Siyu’s life ended here, it would be such a perfect accident. She would have no more master, and she would welcome her long-lost freedom. This was Ming Siyu’s retribution. When Ming Siyu stepped on her and insulted her wantonly, did she ever think that one day she would suffer this kind of immediate retribution?
Liu Ran desperately tried to recall Ming Siyu’s ugly face when she trampled her.
But what appeared in front of her eyes was only the kiss that fell on the bridge of her nose last night. She then realized that that kiss was actually so light and soft, like a snowflake. Now it had been roasted and melted, evaporated.
It made her think of Ming Siyu’s cigarette smoke that scattered outside the car window, carried away by the wind.
Unrelated things, yet at this moment, they were inexplicably remembered at the same time. The minute hand of the watch turned five circles. Liu Ran bit her teeth. Her wolf ears accurately positioned which door the sound came from behind. She pushed through the choking smoke and came to that door.
The fire-burned door frame was slightly deformed. Liu Ran hit it hard once to break it open. She felt like she was about to be poisoned and desperately needed fresh air to soothe her respiratory tract; her nasal mucosa from the high-temperature burning hurt as if someone were poking it with a needle.
This time she truly lost her mind and risked everything. She could never have imagined that one day she would actually stand in a fire scene to find Ming Siyu. Crazy, she must have been smoked into a mental handicap by the toxic gas produced by combustion. She was definitely a model of repaying grievances with virtue; if Ming Siyu didn’t give her a banner afterward, it wouldn’t be right.
The room had only one ventilation window. With the faint light, Liu Ran saw Ming Siyu sitting in the corner with a barrel of bottled water.
Ming Siyu shivered all over and gradually saw the person clearly, “You came…”
Liu Ran didn’t know if she should be glad Ming Siyu was dead or alive now. Her legs felt weak. She walked over and pulled Ming Siyu’s hand, “Let’s go.”
Ming Siyu propped herself up on the barrel to stand up. Her ankle gave a sharp pain. She gave a short “ah” and sat back down.
She twisted her ankle.
Liu Ran hurriedly crouched down, “Can you walk?”
Ming Siyu tilted her head slightly to look at the ash on her face, answering a question she wasn’t asked: “Why are you here?”
