Chapter 329
It started as a flame, but quickly spread to the side.

Qiao Xi was startled, and when she turned her head to look over, the flames had already ignited the carpet, and quickly turned into a cluster of big open flames.

The guests ran out in a hurry, but panicked because of the crowd.

Although there are only two families, neither the Jun family nor the Lu family is a small family. The total number of relatives in the two families is not five hundred but one or two hundred.

In a panic, even the door of Jun's house was blocked.

Jun Jingting frowned, seeing Ji Jun and Gu Liansheng from the crowd.

Both of them were a little far away from him, but there was no need for communication between them, just a look in the eyes was enough.

"Ji Jun, go clear the crowd and be careful!" Gu Liansheng said calmly, turned around and walked back.

As the fire spread, Qiao Xi smelled something wrong and raised her head abruptly.

"There's fire up there too!!" Qiao Xi roared, and took off her high heels without hesitation.

"Take grandpa and my mother out first!" Jun Jingting and Gu Liansheng passed each other and shouted.

Gu Liansheng didn't speak, just nodded slightly and ran in the direction of the two old people.

Lu Tingyun reacted promptly, and had already pulled Lu Zhenye to run.He and Gu Liansheng looked at each other, and the latter ran straight in the direction of Zhao Wanjun.

The Jun family's old house has a history of nearly a hundred years, and many structures are made of wood, so it's easy to fix.

As soon as Qiao Xi discovered that there was also a fire on the beam, the solid wooden table that was moved to the back of the hall was also quickly ignited.

As if there was some kind of fuel, the flames quickly surrounded the front from the back, connecting with the flames in the hall.

Although the door was opened, the air in the entire old house was already wrapped in thick smoke.

Qiao Xi was a little out of breath, and picked up the napkin beside her to cover her mouth and nose.

"Take people out first! Wan Qing? Wan Qing!" She saw Lu Tingyun taking grandpa out, and turned to look at Sheng Wanqing again.

"I'm fine! Come out!" Sheng Wanqing had already been pushed to the door by the crowd, but she still wanted to turn around and look for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi stepped on the ground with bare feet, and could clearly feel the heat from the carpet.

Before she had time to run to the door, the beam above her had been broken by the fire and fell straight down.

The beam was so huge that Qiao Xi didn't have time to react, the wood was already magnified before her eyes.

At the very moment, Qiao Xi saw a person rushing towards her, protecting her under him.

"Second, second brother??!" Qiao Xi's eyes widened. She didn't know when Lu Xizhou came back. She patted Lu Xizhou with trembling hands.

But Lu Xizhou had already passed out due to the huge impact of the beam.

The flames were still spreading on the beam on his body.

"Second Brother! Second Brother, wake up!!" Qiao Xi slapped the person on her body violently, and her body was crushed so that she couldn't move.

She could only helplessly turn her head to seek help.

Jun Jingting was running towards her.

But the fire had already burned to the wood directly above them, and thick smoke rushed into her mouth and nose, Qiao Xi coughed hard twice and was speechless.

The scene in front of her gradually blurred, and she could only see Jun Jingting running towards them.

He seemed to be calling something.

At the last moment when her consciousness disappeared, Qiao Xi seemed to hear him calling...

"Qiao Xi! Qiao Xi!!"

-

Qiao Xi opened her eyes suddenly, and what she saw was a snow-white ceiling.

she is in the hospital.

The memory slowly came back, and the flame seemed to be still flickering in front of her eyes.

Qiao Xi sat up abruptly, waking Sheng Wanqing who was lying beside the bed.

"Hoo, hoo—" She panted heavily, her pupils dilated obviously, and she still had lingering fears.

"A Jin!" Sheng Wanqing stood up quickly, patted her on the back to comfort her, "How do you feel?"

"Second brother, where is my second brother?" Qiao Xi didn't have time to feel her body, and only cared about how Lu Xizhou was doing.

She remembered that before she fell into a coma, it was Lu Xizhou who pressed on her and helped her block the beam...

Sheng Wanqing's expression changed, and she suddenly faltered.

"That..." Sheng Wanqing swallowed, and kept patting her on the back to calm her emotions, "Be mentally prepared."

"Second Brother Lu's legs are broken and he's still in the ICU."

Qiao Xi froze, turned her head slowly, and looked at Sheng Wanqing in disbelief.

"You said, what..." Qiao Xi suddenly lifted the quilt, and was about to get out of bed to see him, but was stopped by Sheng Wanqing.

Qiao Xi had just bent over when she felt a discomfort in her throat and coughed violently.

"Cough cough, cough...!!"

"Slow down." Sheng Wanqing quickly poured her a glass of water, and gently patted her on the back to give her strength to cushion.

"You've inhaled too much carbon dioxide, and your respiratory infection is serious. The doctor said you can't get too excited and cough."

Qiao Xi's face turned red from coughing, and she managed to drink a saliva before restraining herself from continuing to cough.

"By the way, are grandpa and the others all right?" Qiao Xi suddenly remembered and asked in a hoarse voice.

Sheng Wanqing's hand that patted her on the back suddenly stopped, and she replied with dodge eyes: "It's okay."

As soon as Qiao Xi heard her voice, she could feel something was wrong.

"Is it really okay?" Qiao Xi stared at her and asked again.

The sense of oppression in the words made Sheng Wanqing dare not look at her directly.

The door of the ward was pushed open suddenly, and Jun Jingting walked in quickly.

His body was still the same as yesterday, and some stubble had appeared on his chin, making him look haggard and embarrassed.

Jun Jingting took Qiao Xi from Sheng Wanqing's hands, patted Qiao Xi's back gently, and slowly comforted her.

"Don't worry, Grandpa is fine." Jun Jingting's voice was calm and magnetic, which made Qiao Xi feel at ease.

After all, she glared at Sheng Wanqing where Qiao Xi couldn't see.

Sheng Wanqing shrank her neck, avoiding his eyes.

"I'll go out and get you some hot water." As he said that, he was about to escape from the ward.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a wall of people.

Lu Tingyun subconsciously stretched out his hand to help him, only to realize that it was Sheng Wanqing who bumped into him.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across their faces.

"Come and see Ah Jin." Sheng Wanqing took two steps back to distance herself from him, and said awkwardly.

"Yeah." Lu Tingyun touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Jun Jingting is inside, I'll go get some hot water!" Sheng Wanqing hardly dared to look him in the eye, she was about to leave quickly with her head down.

But someone grabbed his wrist.

"Wanqing, let's talk." Lu Tingyun held her back, his voice hoarse, and he looked a little tired.

Sheng Wanqing paused and nodded slightly.

"What do you want to talk about?"

The two were sitting at the door of the ward, Sheng Wanqing lowered her head and rubbed her fingers.

"I always owe you an apology for that incident."

"It's okay, everyone is an adult now." Sheng Wanqing laughed dryly, staring at her fingertips, and gave a wry smile.

"It's all over when it's over, just pretend it never happened."

"Hmm..." Lu Tingyun looked at the woman's profile and hesitated for a while, "Can we still be friends?"

"It's not necessary."

Sheng Wanqing left behind a word, got up and left.

The moment he turned around, tears were already falling down.

There is no possibility for her and Lu Tingyun.
