1806. Chapter 1806: First Time Being This Scared 2

It seemed like something important had happened, with people shouting loudly.

But it's so cold; I don't want to go out and look.

Just then, Grandma came knocking on the door.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan… Xuanxuan…" Grandma's voice was urgent, as if something had happened.

"Grandma, I'm awake. What's wrong? What happened?" I put on my coat, got out of bed, and went to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, Grandma was also wearing a coat and looked at me with a tense expression.

"What's wrong, Grandma?" Seeing Grandma's tense look and the situation outside, my heart suddenly clenched.

I felt somewhat afraid, somewhat…

"There's a fire outside, a big one—don't stay inside." Grandma pulled me and we headed out.

Actually, I had just thought of that—it must be a fire outside.

So I followed Grandma outside.

Only when I went outside and looked did I realize how big the commotion was; it seemed the ambulance hadn't arrived yet.

It was the house next door to Grandma's that was on fire.

That raging fire was terrifying enough to make one's heart pound; it could truly be described as heart‑pounding.

Clearly there was nothing else—just a house burning—but for some reason my heart was filled with fear, fear, really so afraid, so afraid.

Gradually I felt my whole body suddenly go weak.

My limbs were limp, I had no strength at all, so soft, so soft…

Fortunately Grandma was holding me up, otherwise I would have collapsed.

It's kind of funny—at a time like this I should be the one supporting Grandma, but instead it's the opposite, and Grandma is supporting me.

"Xuanxuan, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Grandma asked concernedly.

"No, no… I'm fine." I said in a trembling voice.

My whole body was trembling, making it impossible for me to support myself.
