"Ye Wuyou, keep an eye on her!"

Ning Xi shouted, taking advantage of the opportunity when Ye Wuyou rushed forward to restrain the girl's struggle again.

She didn't care about the discomfort of the gasoline-soaked clothes sticking to her body, and ran towards the sprinkler truck on the street.

Seeing this, the girl twisted her body frantically to break free from Ye Wuyou's grip, while shouting at the top of her lungs: "Don't even think about running away! None of you will have an easy life!"

Ye Wuyou locked her tightly with his arms like an iron clamp, veins popping out on his forehead, and roared, "Calm down!"

At this moment, Ning Xi had already run to the sprinkler truck. She used her hands and feet to quickly climb onto the driver's seat.

The car door made a clanging sound due to her hasty movement, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Getting into the car, she fumbled with the starter anxiously, her hands trembling slightly with nervousness and anxiety, her eyes quickly scanning the unfamiliar buttons and knobs on the dashboard.

Her hands fumbled on the dashboard in panic but persistence, her fingers slipped again and again, cold sweat kept coming out of her forehead, and the gasoline splashed on her face stung her eyes.

At this critical moment, a heavy cough suddenly came from the car. Ning Xi turned around in horror and saw that the driver who was resting in the back seat of the car was awakened by the series of noises.

The driver was half-drowsy and had no time to figure out the situation when Ning Xi screamed, "Brother, help! There's a fire in the back. If we don't start the sprinkler truck, we'll all be doomed!"

The driver was startled and instantly woke up, looking past Ning Xi.

I saw that not far from the car window, next to the girl's frantically twisting figure, a small cluster of flames had risen from the gasoline puddle on the ground at some point. The jumping flames were spreading rapidly and were about to burn this side.

The pungent smoke rolled in, almost suffocating people.

The driver's face changed drastically, and he didn't have time to scold Ning Xi for moving the car without permission. His years of professional ethics allowed him to react instantly.

He swept his hands across the operating levers and stepped hard on the clutch and accelerator, completing the series of actions in one go.

With a roar of the engine, the sprinkler truck vibrated violently.

"Hold on tight!" the driver yelled and pushed the water spray lever forward.

In an instant, the originally silent sprinkler behind the car became like a giant dragon awakening, and a mighty torrent of water spurted out like a giant silver curtain, drawing a majestic arc in the air and rushing towards the source of the fire accurately.

A "hissing" sound rang in the ears. The collision of water and flames stirred up a large amount of water vapor, which filled the air and blurred everyone's vision.

The flames were defeated by the powerful impact of the water curtain, and were completely extinguished in the blink of an eye. Only a mess was left on the ground, and the charred marks testified to the thrilling danger just now.

Ning Xi's tense body finally went limp. She leaned back in the seat and gasped for breath. The fear of surviving the disaster made her burst into tears.

Ye Wuyou took the opportunity to completely suppress the girl, clasping her wrists tightly like iron handcuffs. Without the support of the flames, the girl no longer had the strength to struggle, and she collapsed to the ground, crying inconsolably.

The driver only then had the energy to turn around and look at Ning Xi, his face full of surprise and confusion: "Sister, what's going on?" Ning Xi was about to explain when the sound of sirens came closer and closer.

Soon, the police car stopped steadily nearby, and the officers quickly got out of the car, took over the situation skillfully, handcuffed the girl and took her into the police car.

A female police officer quickly stepped forward, covered Ning Xi with a blanket, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, leave it to us later. Come back to the police station with us to make a statement and take some time off."

Then he looked at the driver and said, "Master, please come with us and assist in the investigation."

Everyone got into the police car, and Ning Xi and Ye Wuyou held hands tightly.

Ning Xi's body still couldn't stop trembling slightly, so Ye Wuyou gently held her in his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and gently stroked her back again and again.

The atmosphere in the police car was solemn. Only the flashing red and blue police lights shone through the windows, silently illuminating everyone's exhausted faces.

Ning Xi buried her face deep in Ye Wuyou's arms. She could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat in her ears. The regular beating gradually soothed her disordered breathing.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes met Ye Wuyou's eyes full of worry and care, her heart warmed, and she whispered softly: "We have made it, almost... just a little bit..."

The rest of the words were choked in the throat by sobs.

Ye Wuyou raised his hand and gently wiped away the remaining tears on her cheek with his thumb. His voice was hoarse but firm: "Don't be afraid, it's all over, I'm here."

Just a few simple words made her originally panicked and helpless heart find a home in an instant.

The female police officer sitting in the front row turned around, handed over two bottles of water, and comforted her softly: "Drink some water to calm your nerves. After you finish taking your statement at the police station, you can go back and rest early."

Ning Xi took the water and thanked him softly, but her hand was still tightly holding Ye Wuyou, as if he would disappear if she let go.

The lights in the police station were so bright that they were dazzling. The two followed the police into the recording room and described in detail the causes and consequences of the incident as required.

Whenever Ning Xi mentioned those thrilling moments, her face would turn a little paler. Ye Wuyou always stood by her side silently, holding her hand at the right time.

By the time the record was finished, the sky was already bright and the morning light filled the yard of the police station.

Ye Wuyou raised his hand to stop a taxi, helped Ning Xi into the back seat, and followed closely behind.

Inside the car, Ning Xi leaned tiredly on Ye Wuyou's shoulder, looking at the street scenes passing by outside the window. Those familiar yet unfamiliar shops and pedestrians seemed to be covered with a layer of illusory veil at this moment.

"Wuyou, after going through so much, I suddenly feel that being together in peace and safety is the greatest happiness. Those trivial troubles are nothing."

Ning Xi said softly, her voice revealing the realization of having survived a calamity.

Ye Wuyou held her hand tightly and nodded slightly: "Well, for the rest of my life, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

When I returned home, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor, forming patches of warm yellow light.

Ning Xi walked straight to the bathroom and took off her clothes that were full of gasoline smell and stains. Hot water poured down and the misty water vapor filled the entire space, as if to evaporate all the haze.

Ye Wuyou walked into the kitchen and simply cooked two bowls of steaming noodles, put two soft-boiled eggs on them, and carefully sprinkled them with chopped green onions.

After Ning Xi finished washing up, changed into clean clothes and walked out of the bathroom, the bowl of noodles was placed on the dining table, and the curling hot steam filled her sight.

Ye Wuyou pulled a chair over and asked her to sit down. He said softly, "Eat something and replenish your energy."

Ning Xi sat down, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the ordinary but thoughtful noodles in the bowl, her eyes moistened, and she sniffed: "Thank you, Wuyou."

Ye Wuyou raised his hand and gently touched her head. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket vibrated rapidly.

He frowned slightly, a bad premonition came to his mind, he took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID was the police number.

He picked up quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wuyou looked at Ning Xi.

"It was the police station who called. They said that preliminary examinations found that the girl might have a potential mental illness that had been hidden before. The extreme emotional fluctuations this time triggered the illness, so she acted out of control and couldn't even control herself."

"No wonder she didn't listen to any advice at that time. She was like crazy."
