The next morning, when Yu Gui woke up, his grandmother was not at home, but she prepared breakfast for him at the table, probably going out to buy vegetables.

Yu Gui silently finished eating breakfast, before leaving, his grandmother did not come back, he locked the door for some reason, his heart suddenly became very heavy, holding the key in his hand and staying in the metal trough for a full minute before retreating.

He really shouldn't have been angry with his grandmother last night, and he will apologize when he comes back tonight.

After thinking about it like this, Yu Gui felt a little better, and finally turned around and went downstairs to work.

And when he arrived at the company, Ye Xu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him: "Didn't you ask for leave to rest at home, what are you doing?" ”

"There's no need to rest, it's already fine, it's okay to be idle at home, it's better to come to work." Yu Gui didn't look at Ye Xu's eyes when he said it.

Ye Xu had an expression of "Lao Tzu believes that you are haunted", but he said: "Hey, what do you think of me here?" Why don't you come to work? What's wrong with going to work? I've treated you badly?? ”

"No...... I'm sorry, but I didn't speak properly. Yu Gui bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Ye Xu saw that he looked listless, neither easy to tease nor bear to be harsh, and sighed: "Okay, since you're here, don't shake it, come to my office in ten minutes, it's just a new job, I still want to find someone to do, so I'll reward you." ”

"Okay." Yu Gui didn't pay attention to the ridicule at the end of Ye Xu's words.

Ye Xu is also helpless, there is a kind of frustration of "as a boss, I told a joke to my subordinates, but I didn't get it at all, and I didn't know how to pretend to be funny", fortunately, he is much softer now, and he has to rely on his mean energy a few years ago to force people to keep the corners of their lips raised by 60 degrees and decibels 60dB to laugh for more than three minutes before he stops.

Thinking about it like this, the older he gets, the kinder he becomes, Ye Xu gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Ten minutes later, Yu Gui rushed into the work after receiving the task from Ye Xu, because he was afraid that once he stopped, he would think of Yan Shu, so he compulsively let his attention be highly concentrated, and his ten fingers crackled on the keyboard as if he had knocked on the code, and his ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window, and he only focused on cyclic recursion and SVM......

Devoted to it like this, he didn't feel the passage of time, and he didn't even notice the chatter of his colleagues, just focusing on what was on his screen.

However, just when he was about to finish compiling this module, the screen was suddenly blocked by someone taking a text jiàn clip from above.

Who is so short-sighted?!

Yu Gui felt a fire in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and was about to question this troublemaker who affected the work of others, but he saw that the person who was holding Wen Jiàn between his fingers was Ye Xu.

"You're looking for me?" Yu Hui thought that Ye Xu was here to supervise, so he said to him: "I will finish writing it immediately, and I still have the last two lines left." ”

Ye Xu looked at him with a somewhat stern expression, and seemed to think for a second before saying, "I didn't come to ask you this, I just called you a few times and didn't respond, so I blocked it casually, don't mind." Yu Gui, did you see the news just now? ”

"What's the news?" Yu Gui was a little dazed, when he programmed, he always turned off all kinds of things that would pop up, and set them to Do Not Disturb if they could be set to Do Not Disturb, and he didn't even care about looking at his mobile phone, so he didn't know what Ye Xu was talking about.

Ye Xu's eyes sank a little more when he saw his reaction, and asked again: "Your family lives in Flushing?" ”

Yu Gui nodded, but his heartbeat suddenly became a little fast, making him a little flustered, "What's wrong?" ”

Ye Xu probably didn't think it was easy to tell him, so he directly handed his mobile phone to him: "Here...... It shouldn't be close to where you live, right? ”

Yu Guishun followed his hand and landed his gaze on the screen, and before he could see the words clearly, he was stunned the moment he saw the picture of the news.

Even if it was blown to ashes, he would recognize it as the building he had lived in for seven years.

The content of the news is: A natural gas pipeline leak occurred in a residential house in Flushing, causing a violent explosion accident and the collapse of the multi-storey building as a whole, and now the rescue is actively being carried out and the number of casualties is being counted......

Yu Gui watched the news a few more times, but there were some flowers in front of him, as if his eyesight had suddenly decreased, so that he couldn't see clearly.

"Return?" Ye Xu patted him worriedly when he saw him sitting still, but in the next second, Yu Gui suddenly jumped up from his seat and ran out as if he had suddenly come back to his senses.

"Hey, return!" Ye Xu fought hard to catch up with him when he rushed to the second floor, and shouted: "Go to the underground garage!" I'll go with you! ”

Yu Gui's footsteps seemed to pause for a moment, and then he ran down to the ground like an illusion.

By the time they both arrived at Ye Xu's car, Ye Xu was already running out of breath, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly started the car and drove out.

Yu Gui's hands were shaking all the time on the road, Ye Xu could see the obvious amplitude with his spare eyes, and he wanted him to relax a little, so he took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry too much, even if it is close to where you live, it may not affect you-"

"My family's ......" Yu Gui suddenly took over, and his voice trembled, "My family...... It's ...... Collapsed ...... How many layers are there...... Inside......"

Ye Xu's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and he couldn't say the following words.

He knew that Yu Gui only lived with his grandmother, and the old man did not go to work, so there was a high chance that he would stay at home during the day......

After a while, Ye Xu was also so anxious that he couldn't do it, and said in a traffic jam: "Why don't you call your family first?" He didn't dare to mention the word "grandma" directly, for fear of giving Yu Gui greater stimulation.

Yu Gui listened to his words and subconsciously touched his phone, but found that he had left his phone in the office in a hurry just now, so Ye Xu gave him his own: "Use mine." ”

"Xie ......" Yu Gui didn't hold it steady when he took it, and directly threw Ye Xu's mobile phone to the ground, he apologized intermittently, Ye Xu intercepted him and said: "What are you afraid of with the mat, even if it really breaks, I'll replace it again, you can fight quickly." ”

After Ye Xu finished speaking, he waited for a long time but saw no movement next to him.

"You don't remember the number?" He asked.

Yu Gui shook his head almost imperceptibly, but when Ye Xu was about to ask again, he suddenly understood his mood.

He was scared. He didn't dare to fight.

There is always a glimmer of hope when things are not confirmed, but what would it be like if he called and no one answered......

Ye Xu glanced at Yu Gui, he felt sorry for him, but he didn't want to say words of comfort at this time.

This is not the same nature as other things. Human lives are at stake, and any unfounded hope can lead to even more deadly despair afterwards. He has experienced it himself, so he would not do such cruel things to others.

Ye Xu didn't mention this stubble again, and Yu Gui never fought.

He was now thinking that his grandmother would be fine if she wasn't home.

Hope grandma isn't home...... As long as you go out, you can do anything, buy groceries and walk around the house to bask in the sun, as long as you can go out......

Please...... Don't be at home......

Yu Gui heard his heart praying over and over again, he had never been so frightened in his life......

When his father died, the accident happened so suddenly that by the time he was notified, it was already a definite death...... This time, however...... Don't ...... this time Definitely not......

Yu Gui let himself have a little luck in his heart, he didn't think it would be so unlucky, there are many old houses in New York, and there have been three or four similar accidents in Manhattan before, but only people were injured but no one died, maybe this time it was the same, grandma would only suffer a little bit of injury even if she was at home.

He forced himself to ignore the tragic situation in the news picture, and he was unwilling to admit that this time the explosion was obviously stronger than the previous ones......

"It's the front there." They had already arrived in Flushing at this time, and Ye Xu didn't need to look at the map to know where the destination was, because only that place was surrounded by water, and the rest of the traffic was reserved for fire trucks.

"The car can't go, let's go down?" After Ye Xu asked this, Yu Gui had already opened the car door and jumped down, he was so anxious that he scolded, but he couldn't leave the car still in the middle of the road, and when he found a good place to stop the car, Yu Gui ran away in the morning.

Ye Xu was afraid that something would happen to him alone, so he hurried to the side of the fire sound, fortunately, it is not difficult to find a big target here, and Yu Gui belongs to the more prominent one in the crowd, it is very easy to recognize, Ye Xu came over and pushed and finally pulled the person down.

"Return—"

"Ye Xu, give me the phone!" Without waiting for Ye Xu to finish speaking, Yu Gui suddenly turned around and grabbed his shoulder and said.

Now the area around the building where the explosion occurred has been cordoned off by firefighters, and many police officers have come to help maintain order, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach, even the original residents.

Yu Gui obviously couldn't just wait, and he really had no choice but to call to confirm at this time.

However, no one answered.

He hit one after another, each one waiting until the line was completely disconnected before hanging up, and then dialing, but no one responded the whole time.

In the end, he seemed to be really desperate, returned the mobile phone to Ye Xu, and he stood outside the cordon and watched, watching people being carried out of the ruins continuously, and his heart had to be clenched every time he came out, and he didn't know whether he wanted to see it or not.

Ye Xu looked at the time, and after about an hour and a half, the people around him gradually dispersed, whether it was out of concern or to watch the excitement, irrelevant people would not spend too much energy on watching other people's tragedies after all.

And Yu Gui's eyes have been a little difficult to see since just now, the afternoon sun is bright, he is not in a good state, and his spirit is too tight, standing here gradually became a little trance, and there are several other people next to him who are obviously family members and his reaction is similar.

After another half an hour, the search and rescue work finally ended, and Yu Gui was originally in a state where his five senses were a little numb, but for some reason he heard the sudden sentence very clearly.

One person said, "There's no one in there anymore." ”

"Got it." A man who looked like a captain walked towards the crowd gathered outside, and said with a sad expression, "If you have family members here, you can come in now to confirm your family." ”

Among those who were carried out, some of the rescued ones had been sent to the hospital, while those who were not saved were temporarily covered with white cloths and lay on the side of the open space.

Yu Gui felt that his steps were quite steady, his legs were not weak, and his body was not shaking.

Until the moment when he said that the family he was looking for was his grandmother, the medical staff led him and uncovered one of the white cloths.

Ye Xu followed behind him, only to feel that the light in front of him suddenly became stronger, and when he reacted, Yu Gui was already kneeling on the ground.

He didn't faint, he just stared at the person lying there in a daze, his lips twitching slightly, as if to say something.

Ye Xu didn't hear it, what Yu Gui said was: I'm sorry.
