his hair, and then a wave of hot breath fell on his neck.Qin Yi leaned over.Ning Shu's body trembled sensitively, and he unconsciously pursed his lips.Qin Yi's voice was slightly low, and he said, "Dr...The fire was getting increasingly fierce, and firefighters arrived quickly.

It was just the sound of sizzling, but it sent shivers down everyone's spine. Li Che struggled like a furious lion, his eyes fixed on the house with desperate intensity.

Liu Heng even felt him take a bite out of him, as if he had bitten into flesh. He frowned slightly and whispered, "Xiao Che, don't do this, your father doesn't want to see you like this...."

...

Thick smoke filled the air, and Ning Shu felt like he couldn't breathe. He coughed violently, having just coaxed Xiao Che to sleep. Little did he know, a fire had broken out.

When he came to his senses, it was already too late. Because it was an old house built for many years, it was prone to aging, so when the fire started, it spread rapidly. There was no way out. Ning Shu's heart pounded, and his mind went blank.

He didn't even have time to think of anything else, there was only one thought in his mind: to get Xiao Che out.

But that small window, it could only fit half of an adult's body.

Xiaoche clutched his hand tightly. Ning Shu had no choice, he could only cruelly let go. Seeing the sudden despair in Xiaoche's eyes, he felt as if his whole body was drained of energy.

With no water source, Ning Shu was completely helpless. He couldn't even get to a safe place.

One can only resign oneself to fate.

Ningshu thought to himself, if he died, would Lichen find a stepmother for Xiao Che He regretted it a little, he should have negotiated an agreement with the other party before this.

Xiaoche can forgo the inheritance of the Li family, but his safety must be guaranteed.

...

Firefighters were working frantically, the flames raged fiercely, keeping everyone around at bay.

Where is Ning Shu

Liu Heng only heard a gloomy voice, and he suddenly looked up. What he saw was Li Yan, who came in a dust-covered rush. At this time, his face was so dark that it seemed like water could drip from it, and his jet-black eyes seemed to be brewing a terrible storm.

Liu Heng hadn't even had time to speak when the man swept his gaze around. His expression then shifted, and in the next moment, he stripped off his clothes.

Liu Heng shuddered, watching as the other person walked straight into the fire without looking back.

But Li Yan didn't listen to them at all. He had a grim expression on his face, his eyes were frighteningly dark as they stared straight at the room.

Liu Heng could even feel, in that instant, the chaos and terror of the surrounding air.

Li Yan just rushed in so directly, not even a moment's hesitation.

The house collapsed, and flames consumed the man's form.

...

Ning Shu's breath grew shallow, and he covered his mouth and nose. But he couldn't hold on much longer; his will began to blur.

Perhaps it was because he was close to death.

The youth even seemed to catch a glimpse of Yama's figure.

"Nining!"

A low, frantic, and urgent voice came from the man. Ning Shu blinked her eyes. She realized that she might not have been hallucinating after all.

Li Yan, he really appeared here!

Ning Shu's face contorted in astonishment. This place was so dangerous, why would Li Yan come in! He wanted to speak, but after inhaling too much smoke, he felt like he had no strength at all. He could only lie there limply, his brain a jumble of confusion.

Isn't Li Yan reckless!

Li Yan's pupils contracted the moment he saw the young man. Ning Shu couldn't make out his expression, he only saw the man walking towards him, he moved his lips.

I want to tell him that it's very dangerous here, his eyes flickered. The fire above us and things could fall down any moment.

When he walked over, Ning Shu could even see the flames burning him, but the man's expression remained unchanged, his eyes only firmly locked onto hers.

Then, he bent down and picked him up.

Ning Shu found that he couldn't utter a single word. He had never felt how vast Li Yan's chest was before.

Li Yan did not linger for too long. He simply held the youth in his arms and walked out of the house. His body was somewhat soaked, but where the flames had reached, they were consuming him.

At the moment when Liu Heng saw the man carrying Ning Shu out, he let out a soft sigh.

He brought the finally subdued Li Che over.

Li Yan glanced at them, his jaw tightening. He escorted the young man to the ambulance, never taking his eyes off him for a moment throughout the process.

Hold his hand tightly.

Liu Heng only then noticed that the man's hands were bloody and mangled. He was suddenly reminded of how Li Yan had climbed up with bare hands, using his strength, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

He looked at the burn marks all over her body, for a moment he didn't know if Ning Shu was more dangerous or Li Yan.

...

When Ning Shu woke up, his vision was blank. There was a moment of confusion in his mind, but he quickly remembered the last scene: Li Yan running into the fire to save him.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Li Yan!"

"Daddy," a child's voice came.

Ning Shu came back to her senses and saw Xiao Che staring at her intently. She opened her mouth, and then she saw Liu Heng beside her.

Liu Heng said, "...he's fine."

Ning Shu's heart suddenly relaxed, but as soon as he thought about it. Li Yan ran into the fire alone, how could he be fine His voice was a little dry: "Liu ge, how is he now"

Liu Heng knew that hiding it wouldn't do any good, so he said: "Moderate burns, the person is still in the ward now."

Ning Shu drew a sharp breath, her heart aching with a dull throb.

Liu Heng saw his pale face and said, "He's also in this hospital. He just finished surgery and is still unconscious."

Ning Shu, upon hearing this, got up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Liu Heng sighed: "Your body hasn't..."

Ning Shu said in a serious tone, "It's alright, I'll go take a look at him."

Li Che followed right behind his father.

The bodyguard assistant outside the ward saw the young man and hurriedly called out, "Mr. Ning, Young Master."

Ning Shu suddenly felt a bit apprehensive, and he instinctively felt fear and a desire to retreat. It was as if he was afraid of seeing the fierce Yan in the hospital room at this time.

He took a deep breath and said, " ...Can I go in and take a look"

The assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid not, Mr. Ning. Mr. Li needs to rest now."

Ning Shu didn't speak. He looked at Li Yan on the bed. The man was closed his eyes, his usually cold and handsome face looked unlike himself, even his thin lips had a trace of paleness.

His gaze shifted downwards again, to Lian Yan's body.... Though he couldn't see the wounds, it was clear there were many injured areas.

Li Che also followed his father, standing silently outside the hospital room door, looking in.

His mood, which had been gradually dimming from the initial joy of his father waking up, suddenly turned somber. He then blurted out, "Dad, when will he wake up"

Ning Shu didn't know either. He fell silent for a moment, then said, "We'll just wait here... until he wakes up."

Li Che nodded.

Li Yan woke up two days later.

He opened his eyes and asked in a grave voice, "Where is Ning Shu"

The doctor said, "Mr. Ning is awake now, and he's fine."

Li Yan didn't say a word and was about to get out of bed. The doctor was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Li, you can't just get up now."

The man was careless, he pulled with a big hand.

Then, the young man standing outside met his gaze.

Li Yan scanned Ning Shu from head to toe before finally relaxing. His gaze was deep and intense, as if he wanted to swallow her whole, so that afterwards he wouldn't have to worry about her doing something unexpected when he wasn't looking.

"Mr. Li..." The doctor followed and looked at the young man, then said, "Mr. Ning, could you persuade Mr. Li"

But Ning Shu's gaze lingered on the wound on Li Yan's body. He pursed his lips and said, "Let's go inside first."

Li Yan then returned to the hospital bed, but his commotion inevitably tore at his wounds. The doctor didn't dare say anything and could only honestly re-examine Li Yan.

Ning Shu only then saw how horrifying the wound was. Li Yan's body was perfect, without a speck of excess fat, and even his skin was smooth and beautiful.

The beautiful honey color was flawless, but now it was marred by so many ugly burn scars.

Ning Shu knew that even if this degree of burn healed, it would leave scars. His mood instantly became heavy as he stared at the wounds, without saying a word.

Li Yan suddenly said, "You don't have to feel guilty or owe me anything."

Ning Shu looked up.

The man stared at him, his gaze deep and fathomless: "Ning Shu, if you died, I wouldn't let even the King of Hell in the underworld go unpunished."

He said calmly, "Even if it were the Jade Emperor himself, no one can take you away without my permission."

Ning Shu's eyes were a little blurry, and she whispered, "I don't feel guilty, Li Yan. Why did you do this"

Worth it

Ning Shu thought, Li Yan had even disregarded his own life to save him.

He suddenly felt a little dazed, having a delusion that the other person deeply loved him.

Ning Shu began to lose control of her thoughts, and even her palpitations were uncontrollable now.

But is it possible

"Worth it."

A man's voice came over, Li Yan's obsidian eyes stared at the young man, like a carnivorous lion, tightly biting the prey's neck.

He spoke in a low voice, "Because I love you."

Ning Shu was stunned by his confession, she stood there at a loss.

Lian Yan stared at the youth, his tone cold. "I know you don't love me, but I can try to meet your demands." He paused, and continued, "If you mind my mental illness, I can also try to accept treatment..."

Li Yan lowered himself to a posture he had never adopted before, addressing the youth: "As long as you don't leave, as long as you don't leave my side."ts hooves and actually trampled her underfoot. The princess lay on the ground, no one knew if she was dead or alive.This scene instantly panicked everyone behind him.The emperor was startled and frown...
