Ah Cai was quickly rescued by the police, but his hand was not chopped off. He had a broken finger, dripping with blood, screaming "pain" profusely with tears and snot, and was carried into an ambulance on a stretcher.

The pain of severed fingers made him grim, and he asked Mama Liu: "Why did you bring the police here?! Do you want me to die? Why didn't you pay me? Why?!"

Mama Liu cried, "I have no money."

"If you don't have money, you won't borrow it?! His house is so big, and he has so much money. If you just take out some money, my fingers won't break!"

"Fingers can still be connected, don't be afraid..."

"But I hurt! It hurts!!"

Mama Liu didn't know what to do. The nurse gave Ah Cai a painkiller injection, and the mother and son went to the hospital in misery.

Ji Yi didn't go to see it, but only learned about the general situation from the phone call from Mama Liu. He granted Mama Liu half a month's paid leave to take care of her son.

"Gambling ruins your life." Ji Yi sighed to Shen Ke, "I hope Mama Liu's son can remember this lesson and be a down-to-earth person."

Shen Ken hummed, "It's best to reform, but some people have bad habits, so you should stop associating with them."

"...You want me to dismiss Liu Ma? How can I do that?"

"I'm not targeting Mama Liu, it's just that she has such a son... Think about Ji Ran and Aunt Gao."

Indeed, having a strange relative or loved one will really drag yourself down.Can't avoid it, can't get rid of it, and it's disgusting from time to time.

Ji Yiwei was very rare. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Mama Liu, a well-behaved and honest person; on the other hand, he really didn't want to have anything to do with Ah Cai.

"Let's talk about it after this period of time." Ji Yi thought, how could Liu Ma's son be dismissed at this time.

……

Shen Ke was still looking for a room to rent, and asked what Ji Yi meant.It was only now that Ji Yi realized: "You want to share the rent with me?"

Shen Ke originally wanted to pay the rent by himself, but considering that Ji Yi also wanted to save face, he nodded: "You can live alone, and you can live with two people."

Ji Yi thought for a while, and felt that it was not bad to share the rent with Shen Ke, and he could monitor his puppy love with Ji Ran.He said, "Okay."

After getting the answer he wanted, Shen Ke became more diligent in finding a room.

In fact, it is hard to find a house in the school district at this time of year, and the better ones have already been booked to rent out; Shen Ke, who is almost too close, doesn't want to rent out, for fear of wronging Ji Yi.As a result, Shen Ke spent most of the day lying in front of the computer looking at the listings, as if he was choosing a new house.

I don't know if it was destiny, but when Shen Ke was choosing a new house, Ji Yi's old house caught fire.

In the middle of the night, Ji Yi was soundly asleep when she was suddenly awakened by a strong smell of smoke.

He coughed and turned on the light, the bedside lamp was only on for a while, and then went off with a "snap". At the same time, he heard a sound like wind, the air was stuffy, and the air conditioner stopped at some point.

Ji Yi staggered to open the door, the heat wave rushed to his face, he was stunned by the fire in the corridor.

The corridors and stairs were all carpeted, and the fire spread and was about to reach Jiyi's bedroom.He immediately searched for a fire extinguisher, but fortunately, when he first came to the Qiu residence, he searched everywhere and knew that there was a fire extinguisher in the small living room on the second floor.

The siren sounded like a slow-moving old man, and only now did it start to ring through the villa, and the ceiling sprinkler began to spray water, intermittently, and it would be more refreshing to take a pee.

Ji Yi found a fire extinguisher, and it took him a long time to use it. When he came out, he sprayed wildly at the flames, but he knew that a fire extinguisher couldn't deal with such a big fire, and the oxygen would be consumed quickly, so he shouldn't do it recklessly.

He ran back to the bedroom, found his mobile phone, wallet, photos, and documents, then went to the bathroom, sprayed his whole body, covered his mouth and nose with a towel, picked up the fire extinguisher and rushed out.

The fire was the biggest downstairs, and he couldn't go down, so he could only go up to the third floor from another staircase.

The third floor was empty, and the fire did not spread much. He went to the balcony to call the fire alarm, calmly explained the location of the villa in the community, and then called Qiu Min.

"Dad, the house is on fire, and I can't get out."

Qiu Min fell into a drowsy sleep, and after a long while, he suddenly sat up straight: "Is it on fire?!"

……

Shen Ke woke up with inexplicable palpitations, and opened the blackout curtains in the bedroom, only to see that several nearby villas were brightly lit, and some people were running around eagerly, shouting something.Shen Ke pushed open the window and heard clearly: "Someone's house is on fire over there!"

Shen Ke's heartbeat quickened, he put on his clothes and went out, and he didn't even have time to change his shoes.

The flames shot up into the sky, reddening the night, and Shen Ke prayed "not his house" and rushed over.

But when he saw that it was Qiu's mansion that was on fire, he broke out in a cold sweat even though the heat wave was rolling in. It took a long time for his dry throat to make a sound: "Ji Yi——! Ji Yi!!"

Ji Yi was in a dilemma on the balcony on the third floor. In fact, the fire here was still under control, but the smoke was too thick. He was afraid that he would be smothered to death by the smoke before he was burned to death.

Shen Ke rushed into the courtyard and yelled twice, Ji Yi finally heard it amidst the crackling fire, and replied, "Shen Ke?"

"I'm here!" Shen Ke tried his best to identify the direction of the voice in the thick smoke, "Where are you?"

"Three, cough! The balcony on the third floor!"

"Don't worry, I'll go in!"

"Don't!" Ji Yi saw Shen Ke, the young man in the firelight was sweating profusely, his eyes were shining like stars, looking at him anxiously, like a wolf cub who was driven to a desperate situation, a little pitiful.

Covering her mouth with a towel, Ji Yi coughed twice, and said, "I'm going to jump down, check if there's anything for me to cushion."

The courtyard of Qiu Mansion is bare, only the lawn, no flowers and trees.Shen Ke ran to ask the people outside: "Which one of your houses has a ladder?"

"My family has it!" One person hurried to move the ladder without asking any questions.

The siren of the fire engine came, and the ladder was set up, but it was not high enough, and it could only reach the second floor.Shen Ke climbed up the ladder and opened his arms to Ji Yi: "Jump!"

Ji Yi hesitated, if he jumped down so rashly, Shen Ke would fall to the ground with him.

But Shen Ke couldn't care less: "Hurry up, jump! I can catch you, trust me."

For a moment, Ji Yi wanted to cry. No one had ever said such a thing to him. Even when his eldest brother was around, he never acted like a baby and was hugged. He is a boy, and being strong is a compulsory course.

After his elder brother passed away, he never relied on anyone. He took Ji Ran around and moved around alone, settled everything properly, and was forced to grow from a teenager to an adult.

Even if he lives again, he will have no sense of belonging in the Qiu family. No matter how broad the shoulders of other people are, they belong to others. Only when he grows quickly can he belong to himself—he always thought so, but now, a young man said: Can catch myself.

Allow yourself to trust him.

What Ji Yi wants to deliver is not just trust.

There was no moment when a message was conveyed to his heart more clearly than at this moment: you are in love with this boy.

you are done.

Ji Yi jumped down and handed over her heart.

They hugged each other in the flames, fell, and rolled to the ground, hugging each other tightly like survivors after a catastrophe.

Shen Ke's chest rose and fell, and his throat let out low and rough panting, as if the boulder that had been carried all the way had finally landed, feeling relieved.He hugged the person in his arms tightly, he almost thought he would lose him.

The footsteps were chaotic, the fire brigade came, Ji Yi helped Shen Ke up, and asked him if he was okay.Shen Ke shook his head: "I'm fine, how about you?"

Ji Yi coughed twice: "It's okay."

The fire brigade asked them if there was anyone else in the villa, and Ji Yi said that there was no one, so the firefighters began to put out the fire.Not long after, Qiu Min Xia Zhili also came, leading the police, who asked Ji Yi how the fire started.

Ji Yi: "I don't know either, I slept well and woke up from choking."

Qiu Min frowned and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

Ji Yi coughed twice again: "No. I want to drink water."

"It's in the car." Xia Zhili said, "Come with me."

Ji Yi and Shen Ke walked out of the courtyard slowly, and there were many people watching, but they turned a blind eye.Ji Yi stared at Shen Ke's feet and asked, "Why did you come here without your shoes on?"

Shen Ke said: "I wear them, I lost them on the road." Then asked, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

Ji Yi said: "Wear it, run away."

The two looked at each other and smiled, stepping barefoot on the cool stone bricks, but their hearts were warm.

Xia Zhili brought water, Shen Ke took it and unscrewed the cap, Ji Yi gulped down half the bottle, and Shen Ke continued to drink the remaining half bottle.

Seeing their actions, Qiu Min felt suspicious, pulled Ji Yi and said, "You will stay at Secretary Xia's house tonight."

Shen Ke held the empty plastic bottle and said, "Uncle, Qiu Lu can stay at my house tonight, it's close."

Just as Qiu Min wanted to refuse, Ji Yi agreed, "That's fine. When the fire is out, take out your schoolbag, and we'll go to school together tomorrow."

Qiu Min: "..." At this time, I was still thinking about going to school, as expected of my son.

Shen Ke also couldn't laugh or cry.

Ji Yi was worried: "I hope my room won't be burned, or my notes will be for nothing."

The firefighting work went smoothly, and within ten minutes, the fire was completely extinguished.Such a huge mansion has become as dark as a ruin.

When the smoke was almost gone, Ji Yi wanted to go into the house to have a look, but was stopped by Shen Ke: "Don't go in."

Xia Zhili also said: "The cause of the fire still needs to be investigated inside, young master, you should go to classmate Shen's house to borrow a pair of shoes to wear."

Ji Yi went home with Shen Ke and entered the door, but he stood at the entrance and refused to go in, thinking his feet were dirty.Shen Ke was also barefoot, let him come in and wash his feet in the bathroom.

Snow Dou seemed to understand what the master said, and put his head on Ji Yi's leg, pushing Ji Yi into the house.Ji Yi smiled and brushed the dog's hair, followed Shen Ke to the bathroom to wash his feet and put on sandals.

After coming out of the bathroom, Shen Ke poured two glasses of milk, and the two of them drank it one gulp at a time. Ji Yi was really thirsty, so he drank half a glass with his head up, with a milk mustache around his mouth, and finally calmed down.

He looked at Shen Ke and said, "Thank you."

Shen Ke raised his hand, curled up his index finger and wiped the milk mustache on Xia Jiyi's mouth, "It's fine."

Ji Yi lowered his eyes, a little afraid to look at Shen Ke squarely, he thought: How can I have such thoughts?Facing a young man who is still dissatisfied...

But Seventeen is also very close to Eighteen, so if you wait patiently... Ji Yi forcibly stopped his brain supplementation, feeling a sense of guilt in his heart, mixed with touch, confusion, joy, and bewilderment.

Tears fell from Ji Yi's eyes.

The person who was at a loss was replaced by Shen Ke, who put down the milk and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yi also shed a tear or two, his expression was numb, and he didn't look sad. He hid his mood well, smiled and said, "It's probably smoky, it's okay."

In fact, the matter is neither big nor small, but it is just falling in love with someone.

And that person likes his nephew.Maybe all the kindness to him was for his nephew.

Ji Yi felt bitter.
