The strong sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making people feel warm.
Jian Ai and Bai Zhou sat opposite each other on the sofa. Chi Yang made a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Jian Ai. “Sect Master, please have coffee.”
Bai Zhou narrowed his long and fox-like eyes and carefully sized up Jian Ai in front of him. After confirming that she was fine, he said softly, “I saw the news just now and thought something had happened to you. Your phone was switched off when I called.”
“It’s a long story.” Jian Ai smiled helplessly. She had no intention of telling Bai Zhou what had happened last night. She said calmly, “My phone got wet. I can’t use it anymore.”
Jian Ai took a sip of coffee and looked around. She asked curiously, “Where is Xiao Zhen?”
Bai Zhou shrugged helplessly. “He doesn’t like to live with others. He moved out a few days ago.”
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. From the first time she saw Xiao Zhen, she could feel that he gave off a distant feeling and looked a little eccentric and antisocial.
Jian Ai sniffled and asked with a puzzled expression, “What’s burnt?”
“Damn, my cake!” Chi Yang exclaimed and ran towards the kitchen.
…
In the afternoon, at the First Hospital in Baiyun City.
Lin Yi woke up not long after transferring to this hospital. Although he had a narrow escape from death the night before, fortunately, he was safe. In addition, his body was very healthy, so he recovered quickly. Currently, he was somewhat energetic and could speak.
“What happened last night?”
In the ward, Yan Tian and Xia Qinghuan sat in front of the bed and asked Lin Yi.
Because they were worried about Lin Yi, they went to the hospital to see him after lunch.
At this moment, Lin Yi was on an IV drip and his face was slightly pale. When he heard this, he only gave Yan Tian a calm look, as if unwilling to say anything.
“I’m asking you a question!” Seeing Lin Yi’s reaction, Yan Tian knew he didn’t want to say it. He couldn’t help but put on a serious expression and said in a low voice, “If you don’t say it, I’ll get Qinghuan to ask Jian Ai!”
Only when Jian Ai was mentioned did Lin Yi’s expression become obvious. His pale lips moved slightly, and he said worriedly, “Is she okay?”
Lin Yi couldn’t remember what had happened last night. He only remembered that he had left the fountain pen Jian Ai gave him in his room. He considered nothing else and rushed out of the room.
At that time, thick smoke was raging in the corridor, and he could not even see what was ahead. He rushed to the fourth floor based on his memory but gradually lost consciousness because he had inhaled too much smoke.
But he vaguely remembered that Jian Ai was with him before his consciousness completely disappeared.
“You’re still asking?!” Xia Qinghuan still had lingering fear when she thought of the last scene last night. She couldn’t help but scold him, “If only you escaped from Jian Yiyi’s room at the first moment, you wouldn’t be lying here now.”
Although Lin Yi and Jian Ai were the last to leave last night, they would not have been in any danger had they made use of the rope as soon as possible. It was no wonder that Yan Tian and Xia Qinghuan would be angry.
He almost scared them to death last night.
Yan Tian also asked unhappily, “What’s going on? Why did the two of you jump out of your room?”
Jian Yiyi’s room was on the third floor, and Lin Yi’s room was on the fourth. In other words, the two of them went from the third floor to the fourth floor in the burning villa?
Did they want to die?
“I… I went back to get a fountain pen,” Lin Yi pouted and whispered.
