Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Nightmare, Worry

Fu Ying recognized almost all the relatives at this wedding.

What with first cousins and second cousins, since she was so well-behaved, so young, and so gentle, they all teased her.

Fu Ying was so scared that she hid by her grandmother’s side, not daring to wander around.

That day, Fu Mingchuan wore a constant smile that he couldn’t close and was extremely busy hosting the guests, with his feet hardly touching the ground.

Fu Yan and a few brothers had a great time playing; he got along with all the cousins except for not liking Cheng Yiyi.

Whenever brothers he used to play well with gathered, it became like heaven to him.

The table with people of the same age was especially lively.

The grandmother asked in a low voice, "Won’t you go play with your brothers and sisters?"

Fu Ying shook her head shyly.

Grandma smiled as she stroked her head: "My Yingying was quite wild as a child, but she has grown up to be so polite."

After the wedding ended and the guests left, Fu Yan took a few brothers to tease the bridal chamber.

Fu Ying had just returned home and called him.

The phone rang for a while without an answer.

Fu Ying hung up and spoke to Qibao while touching it, "Brother is busy, so we will be good and not disturb him."

A factory was emitting thick smoke. Shen Liguang had just returned to the station and immediately had to respond to an emergency.

Qian Zheng originally wanted to take a shower, but as he just started to undress, the alarm sounded, and he put on his protective gear over just his underwear.

In just a mere ten seconds or so, he was immediately on his way to the fire. Inside the vehicle, a group of people wore solemn expressions, remaining silent.

The initial excitement of being a firefighter seemed gone; for them, responding to emergencies was a routine matter, something they even wished would happen less often.

They quickly arrived at the factory, and Shen Liguang inquired about the situation with the person who called for help, the responsible party.

"Are there any flammable or explosive materials?"

The caller, with a face full of fear, replied, "No, there aren’t, but there are people trapped inside, several who were working the night shift. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, the fire had started, and they are all trapped inside."

"Is the power shut off?"

The factory manager, with a face full of panic, stammered, "The, the power is off."

"Captain, let me lead people in."

"Brother Wang, you have a wife, you can’t afford to have an accident. I’ll lead the team in, you handle five hoses from the outside."

"Xiao Wu, come with me." Shen Liguang commanded into the intercom with a steady gaze, "Swat Team Two, all set. Five hoses, three deep attacks, two controlling from the outside."

"Received."

Inside the fire was intense; by the time the last person was found, they had fallen unconscious and were incoherent.

"Wake up, put on the oxygen mask."

Shen Liguang nudged the unconscious man, gave his own oxygen mask to the man, squatted down, and carried him on his back.

Just as they were about to leave, an explosion occurred. Flames spread wildly and a wave of heat surged toward them.

Shen Liguang frowned and loudly commanded, "Run back!"

Fu Ying suddenly woke from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat.

She picked up her phone and realized the other side had not returned the call.

For some reason, she felt panicked and had a vague sense of unease.

After thinking it over and hesitating for a moment, she called him again.

The ringing lasted for a long time, still with no answer.

After waking up, Fu Ying could not go back to sleep.

She couldn’t sleep all night, was groggy, felt like her head was going to explode, and checked her phone again at six in the morning, yet he still hadn’t returned her call.

Unable to sit still any longer, Fu Ying went to knock on Fu Yan’s door next door.

Last night, Fu Yan went to tease the newlyweds and didn’t come back to sleep until the early morning. Now he was woken up by Fu Ying, grumpily getting out of bed.

"Spit it out if you have something to say."

Worried about Shen Liguang, Fu Ying had a distressed look: "Little bro, I called my brother last night, and he, he hasn’t replied to me till now."

Fu Yan frowned: "Isn’t that normal? Firefighters are busy."

"But, but, he can’t be out on calls all night, right? There should be some time when he’s free?"

Fu Yan yawned, very annoyed: "How would I know? Maybe he doesn’t like you anymore and wants to dump you, so he’s not answering your calls."

Fu Ying’s fingers clenched her phone tightly; she lowered her head and then suddenly turned back to her room.

Severely sleep-deprived, Fu Yan was disturbed from a sweet dream and was full of irritation, cursing: "What the hell."

Fu Ying quickly washed up, got dressed, and went straight to his house.

As she raised her hand to knock on the door, Fu Ying had already gone through countless opening lines in her mind.

But when Li Ruolan opened the door, Fu Ying’s mind went blank, and she just stood there, rooted to the spot.

"Eh? Yingying, huh? Haven’t seen you for a while, are you here to look for your Brother Li Guang?"

Fu Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Ah, yeah, I, I’m here to deliver the wedding candy on behalf of my big brother."

Fu Ying was relieved that she brought the wedding candy; otherwise, coming over like this would be too abrupt.

Li Ruolan took the candy, smiling while her face still showed some concern: "Your big brother is now married. As for your Brother Li Guang, who knows when he’ll get married. But it seems like he has a girlfriend now."

"Ah? Did he, did he say he has a girlfriend?"

Li Ruolan smiled: "Yeah, calling so late into the night, I’ve heard it all."

Fu Ying’s cheeks turned slightly red: "Oh."

"He’s not at home?"

"Not home, probably won’t be back until about nine." Li Ruolan checked the time, "It’s only 7:30 now, still early."

As she spoke, Li Ruolan sighed, her face filled with worry: "I also called him and he didn’t answer. I’ve been on pins and needles all night. But just now his colleague called and told me his phone was lost during the call-out, and only then I felt relieved."

Fu Ying let out a sigh of relief too.

"Don’t just stand at the door, come inside for a chat."

Fu Ying quickly waved her hand: "No, it’s okay, aunty, I have class in the morning."

"Then do come over to our place sometime."

Fu Ying nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I’m going to leave now."

It was broad daylight, and Fu Ying gradually exhaled in relief, as she hadn’t slept since waking up in fear the previous midnight, and her head was aching terribly.

When she got on the bus, she unintentionally fell asleep, and the bus stopped at its final destination, where the driver ultimately had to wake her up.

"Young lady, wake up, this is the last stop. How can you fall asleep on the bus? That’s too dangerous."

Fu Ying smiled apologetically, and repeatedly thanked him: "Sorry, thank you for troubling yourself, driver."

"What trouble? Just make sure not to fall asleep on the bus again in the future."

Fu Ying nodded: "Oh, okay, thank you, driver."

Fu Ying got off the bus, and the last stop was a factory, with outer walls blackened by smoke and debris scattered everywhere.

It was as if there had been a major fire the night before.

A big fire... Fu Ying couldn’t help but think of Shen Liguang.

She stood at the entrance, not moving, when a worker came out and seeing her, assumed she was a worker there, saying to her: "Girl, are you here for work? Didn’t you see the announcement in the group chat? There was a fire last night, we’re off work for half a month."

"Really, there was a fire?"

The person frowned: "Would I lie to you? There was a fire last night, firefighters all came, a big explosion happened, and several firefighters were seriously injured."

"Firefighters..." she mumbled, then suddenly it dawned on her, and she turned and ran towards the platform.
