Chapter 213: Xie Qin: Mom?

Hearing this, Xie Qin had no more concerns. He dodged the obstruction and rushed into the smoke-filled fire scene.

The firefighter who tried to stop him was pushed aside.

He ran all the way up the stairs through the emergency exit, rushing to the twelfth floor in one breath.

Xie Qin remembered the door lock password. After he entered it, a wave of thick smoke rushed at him from the balcony; the fire had spread up from the floor below, and the ground was scorching hot.

He couldn't care about any of this. Just then, Xie Qin saw Yu Lizhen unconscious on the floor in the living room.

Shen Li was in the laboratory, habitually keeping her phone on silent.

It wasn't until she finished her studies that she took her phone out of her bag and unlocked it. The screen was densely packed with missed calls, all with Xie Qin's name.

Her heart tightened suddenly, and a bad premonition surged in her heart. She frowned and immediately called back.

The moment the call connected

"Xie Qin, you called me so many times, did something happen?" Shen Li's tone carried a hint of unease.

Xie Qin was silent for a moment, his tone deep and slow: "The Taoli Chunfeng complex caught fire."

That short sentence was like a basin of cold water suddenly poured over her, instantly chilling Shen Li to the bone and leaving her unable to recover for a long time.

"Where's my mom? How is Mom?"

Shen Li heard Xie Qin take a cold breath on the other end, very softly, as if enduring pain: "Auntie has already been transferred to a general ward."

"Don't worry! She's perfectly fine, no need to worry."

Shen Li: "Which hospital are you at? I'm coming over right now."

Xie Qin: "Jiangchuan University Affiliated Hospital."

After the call ended.

Shen Li quickly packed her things, put on her bag, and ran all the way, rushing to the hospital with burning anxiety.

At the hospital entrance, she called Xie Qin again.

The other party answered in a second.

Shen Li: "I'm at the hospital, where are you?"

Xie Qin: "Emergency room, come over."

Shen Li started jogging. Because she was very familiar with the hospital, she found the emergency room very quickly.

Xie Qin on the phone, afraid she would worry, kept comforting her: "Walk slower, don't be too anxious, I'm afraid you'll fall. I'm perfectly fine."

Shen Li pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak.

She arrived at the emergency room door quickly. The phone was still at her ear, not hung up, and she heard the conversation coming from inside before she even entered.

The male doctor lowered his head, applying medicine to him with a cotton swab: "Your girlfriend?"

Touching the wound, Master Xie immediately took a cold breath: "No! I say... you know I have a partner, but you don't have to take revenge on me out of jealousy."

The male doctor looked at him with a smile: "You're a grown man, why are you shouting about the pain? Just endure it and it'll pass. Do you have any masculinity? If your girlfriend hears you, be careful she thinks you're not a man and dumps you in a while."

Xie Qin let out a low laugh: "Then you're wrong. Even if I get the slightest injury, she feels terrible."

Male doctor: "I'll listen to you brag."

"Tsk, you don't believe me." Xie Qin: "This medicine... will it work? Can it remove scars? My partner is a bit of a looker, I'm afraid the scars will scare her later."

Hey, chatting with him, why does it sound so infuriating?

The male doctor was about to speak.

Shen Li's figure appeared at the door.

The moment she entered, her gaze froze suddenly.

Xie Qin was sitting on a chair, shirtless, his black short-sleeved shirt thrown on the table aside.

There were several burn marks on his shoulders, neck, chest, and back.

Zhong Zhuofan glanced at the person at the door and was slightly startled: "Junior Sister Shen? Why did you come over?"

Shen Li hung up the call she was on: "I'm here to find my boyfriend."

Zhong Zhuofan was surprised: "The partner this young man mentioned on the phone just now is you?!"

Shen Li nodded: "Hmm."

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Qin in surprise: "Good fellow! Our Jiang University's most beautiful school flower, it turns out you're the one who's dating her."

Xie Qin stared at Shen Li, a smile spreading in his eyes: "..."

Shen Li walked closer: "Senior, are you on duty today?"

Zhong Zhuofan knew Shen Li; they had the same advisor and had met once at a dinner.

Zhong Zhuofan carefully avoided the broken blisters and explained to her: "Hmm. This young man rushed into the fire to save someone and has multiple second-degree high-temperature burns. I'm still helping him clean the wounds, otherwise, it's very easy to get infected."

"Thank you for your hard work. Otherwise... let me do it, Senior, you can go busy yourself with other things."

"That works too." Zhong Zhuofan gave her the medicine and cotton swabs in his hand.

After Zhong Zhuofan left, Shen Li's gaze landed on Xie Qin's blistered burn wounds, her eyes reddening severely: "How can you be so stupid? The fire was so big, the temperature in the hallway was so high, and you just rushed in like that?"

"I had to rush in, Mom was inside, I couldn't just ignore it, could I?" Seeing she was about to cry, he immediately softened his voice: "Why are you crying? Didn't I come out fine?"

Shen Li's voice choked, and water vapor appeared in her eyes: "You could have left the fire rescue to the firefighters. In that situation, what if you went in and couldn't get out!"

As she spoke, Xie Qin saw a tear "plop" down, and he raised his hand to wipe it away: "The fire downstairs was about to burn to your house. If I hadn't done anything, I wouldn't be human."

Shen Li: "..."

He softened his voice to coax her: "It's no big deal, don't cry, okay?"

Shen Li stared at his wounds, her nose aching: "Does it hurt a lot?"

Xie Qin: "It's alright, not a big problem."

"Your hand, let me see." As she spoke, Shen Li put down the medicine and grabbed his previously injured hand worriedly: "Does it hurt here?"

Xie Qin's pitch-black eyes stared at her for several seconds: "You knew?"

Shen Li was silent for a moment, then finally nodded slowly.

Xie Qin: "Xu Zhouyuan told you?"

Shen Li sniffed, lifted her eyes, looked into his eyes, and nodded: "Hmm. Last time he was drunk, he told me while crying."

Xie Qin laughed out loud: "Xu Zhouyuan's mouth, I knew he couldn't keep it shut."

"It hasn't hurt for a long time."

No wonder after returning from the small tavern that time, she rarely let him carry heavy objects, and at night when he was asleep, she would stare at his hand in a daze.

Shen Li knew he was saying these things to comfort herself, but in that situation, his bones were shattered, how could there not be aftereffects?

Every time he typed code, his arm would ache and hurt, but he never told her.

Xie Qin sat at the door of the ward, head down, playing mobile games to pass the time.

Yu Lizhen woke up. Shen Li was looking at her examination report; fortunately, there were no major problems. When she saw her wake up, she hurried forward: "Are you feeling better?"

Yu Lizhen leaned on the hospital bed, still feeling dizzy, her throat dry and hoarse. She coughed several times, and Shen Li immediately poured her a glass of water and let her drink it.

Yu Lizhen drank more than half the glass, her expression filled with worry: "Is the fire out? Did it burn the house?" ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
