The next second, her large eyes were tinged with sourness. Why would he come at this time? Was he out of his mind? It was so dangerous outside, how could he come in? Did he realize that people could die like this!
She crawled, struggling to make her way to the door. As the distance grew shorter, she randomly grabbed something from the floor and threw it at the security door.
"Bang!" The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was like music from heaven to those outside.
Han Luoli's frozen blood instantly ignited, his voice trembled with surprise, "Xiao Er, you're inside, aren't you?"
"Da Luoluo... please leave..."
Such a low and soft reply, Han Luoli heard it, heard it very clearly.
Almost without any hesitation, his voice softened, and he swiftly and calmly made a decision, "Xiao Er, don't talk... cough! Cough! Cough... Believe me, I will take you out safely. Now, Da Luoluo is asking you for something…" Another fit of violent coughing followed.
"Promise me, can you hold on for five more minutes? During these five minutes, could you protect yourself?" He was so worried, so anxious. Every single minute and second was incredibly precious now, but his private jet would not arrive for another five minutes; he had to ask his beloved woman to persevere for five more minutes.
"But…" I'd rather you leave, it's so dangerous here!
"Gu Xiaoer, did you hear me!" His voice was stern, almost commanding her.
"I believe you... I will hold on…" Her voice was tearful and hoarse; she understood his urgency and tried her best to tell him that she was okay, that it didn't matter...
In a place where he couldn't see her, she buried her face deep into her elbow, controlling the sound of her crying. Deeply and carefully, she suppressed the fear in her heart.
"Xiao Er, go to your bedroom windowsill now and wait for me there, okay?"
Han Luoli's voice seemed to carry a magic power that miraculously soothed Gu Xiaoer's trembling heart. She sniffled and responded to him, "Okay..."
After confirming Gu Xiaoer's situation, Han Luoli didn't stop for a moment, he rushed towards the higher floors.
Before entering the building, he had already informed Wei Feng. Just get through these five minutes, and Xiao Er would be saved.
Five long, arduous minutes.
One minute... Gu Xiaoer barely crawled out of the living room.
Two minutes... Her breathing was rapid and disordered, her consciousness scattering.
The only thing still clear was the silent count of time.
For the first time, she felt how slowly five minutes could pass; every single minute and second was agonizing.
She didn't know how Han Luoli would save her, nor the situation outside. Trusting him was the only belief that kept her going so far.
But, what remained of her rationale also made it clear to her. If it were so easy to be rescued, the firefighters would have surely taken her out by now. With such a massive fire, the firefighters would have prioritized those who were easiest to save, those with the highest chance of survival.
She couldn't say that she was the one who had been abandoned, it was just a lack of luck...
That man, he surely already knew about these cruel circumstances.
For the first time, she discovered how foolish he was, knowing the danger yet rushing in...
Han Luoli, you fool, you big fool!
Four minutes... She seemed to hear the sound of a helicopter outside the building.
Before she could react, that pleasant voice came in from outside the window like a voice from heaven, "Xiao Er!"
Gu Xiaoer shivered all over and looked up towards the outside of the window sill. Through the thick smoke and haze, she saw him clearly with her large eyes—that man, like a god descending from the skies, had come to rescue her!
He was here to save her!
