43. Survive in the face of danger

On Monday morning, Xue Lanlan sat on a chair as if she were sitting on pins and needles, and her stomach was cramping, like thousands of steel nails pricked in her stomach.

Seriously, it's okay if this kind of thing doesn't come, and it will cost her half her life when it comes!

Xue Lanlan couldn't bear it in pain, she covered her stomach with one hand, the whole person was lying on the table, just breathing was difficult, Xue Lanlan took a breath gently, and felt a falling pain.

"Hiss......"

She couldn't move her steps in pain, she only felt that every word she said was going to die, and just when she was in pain, a gentle snort provoked her to look sideways slightly.

"You're coming to Auntie?" The person who spoke was Josh, who was still wearing a name brand as always, with her chin raised, and her eyebrows and eyes looked at her proudly, "It hurts? ”

Xue Lanlan nodded weakly, and then pressed her abdomen with her hand vigorously, increasing her breathing to relieve the pain, and at this moment she was in a cold sweat.

"Is it really that uncomfortable?" Josh was already sitting next to Xue Lanlan when she said this, she put one hand on Xue Lanlan's shoulder, and her originally arrogant eyebrows unconsciously brought a little concern, she said, "Otherwise, I'll make you a cup of brown sugar water?" Josh remembers that the company's internal water bar has brown sugar, red dates, etc., so that it is convenient for some girls who come to menstruation to drink it.

When Xue Lanlan listened to the first half of Josh's words, her eyes rolled over directly, and she was so painful that she could only jump out between her teeth: "Xie, Xie...... No. ”

"Cut, it's your blessing that Miss Ben makes brown sugar water for you, do you dare to do it!" As soon as Josh heard that Xue Lanlan refused her service, she immediately put on a displeased look, at this time, Xue Lanlan didn't care about Josh's petty fights at all, she just wanted to feel the pain quietly now.

"Hey...... Why don't you take a day off in the afternoon! Josh saw that Xue Lanlan didn't reply to herself like usual, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, sitting in place, not caring, not caring.

Xue Lanlan listened to Josh's suggestion, just shook her head slightly, and she said: "Half a day off is deducted from one day's salary, not to mention that you can't get a full attendance award, it's not worth it." ”

"......" Josh listened to Xue Lanlan's remarks, and was directly speechless, she got up directly and turned her head away and hummed: "Kill you!" ”

After Xue Lanlan heard Josh say this, she walked directly on her high heels, and the footsteps of "stepping on the step" were very clear and far away.

Just when Xue Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Josh would no longer bother her and was about to rest for a while, she heard Josh's footsteps come back again.

Xue Lanlan tilted her head slightly, and saw Josh's figure at a glance, and she saw Josh striding in front of her, carefully holding a cup of hot water in his hand.

"Well, anyway, menstrual cramps, like who hasn't had it, drink some hot brown sugar water, and you'll be comfortable." Josh put the brown sugar water in Xue Lanlan's hand, and took out a piece of warm baby sticker with a reasonable look, she paused: "And this, you take the sticker on your stomach." ”

"Where did you get the baby warmer?" Xue Lanlan didn't refuse Josh's warm baby sticker this time, and asked in some surprise, she didn't believe that Josh would prepare these things with her, after all, she didn't seem to be such a meticulous person.

Josh's proud little eyebrows were raised, his gaze swept lightly over Xue Lanlan, and he put his hands on his chest and posed as a vicious female partner and said: "I am different from some people's hypocritical office friendships, I have a lot of friends in the office!" ”

Is borrowing a warm baby sticker a real friendship? Xue Lanlan was speechless and complained in her heart, but she didn't say anything on her face, just said "thank you", and then took Josh's warm baby sticker, pasted it on her stomach clothes, and then still lay on the same table sickly.

Josh looked at her state, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say for a while, in her memory, Xue Lanlan has always been synonymous with a strong woman, she can stay up late for a week to work overtime in the company to catch up on the project, and then take the earliest subway home in the morning to take a shower, and then go back to the company to continue the day's work.

This woman, no matter what the situation, is the calmest and most calm, you can never see tiredness on her face, there is only a light and delicate makeup.

Hypocrisy is to death, not real at all! It's the look she hates the most! Josh thought indignantly, but when her eyes touched Xue Lanlan's soaked back, she couldn't help but slow down, and she paused: "You can't go out to eat at noon now, have you ordered takeout?" ”

"No appetite." Xue Lanlan drank some brown sugar water and put on a warm baby sticker, but she didn't know if it was because of her heart, she actually felt more comfortable in her stomach.

"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat, you deserve menstrual pain, so it's not good for the capital of the revolution!" Although Josh verbally scolded Xue Lanlan like this, she was very concerned in her heart, she paused Xue Lanlan and said, "Forget it, anyway, I'm going downstairs to buy food, I'll bring you a little food at will!" ”

After speaking, Josh didn't care whether Xue Lanlan agreed or refused, and turned around and left directly.

Xue Lanlan exhaled, and only got up tremblingly to go to the bathroom after Josh left, she and Josh have known each other for two years, although they are not close friends and girlfriends, but they are also familiar with her knife-mouthed tofu-hearted style, just like she has menstrual pain today, and she is the only one in the entire office who will come to inquire about the situation.

She knew that her stomach hurt and was uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to go down to buy lunch, although she reprimanded her, but she would still help her buy lunch, help her warm brown sugar water, and borrow warm baby stickers.

Probably this is why Xue Lanlan can't hate Josh, Xue Lanlan walked into the bathroom with her stomach in pain, squatted on the toilet, she tilted her head and stuck to the wooden wall of the bathroom, her abdomen fell at this time, and it hurt so much that she felt like she would fall down at any time when she stood up.

Fortunately, it was lunch break now, no one came to the bathroom, and no one checked her leaving the workstation, just when Xue Lanlan was about to squat and slow down a little, she suddenly heard a noisy sound, screaming mixed with the sound of running, which made Xue Lanlan realize that something was wrong.

It's lunch break in the company, and no matter what, it's definitely not going to be so noisy outside, is it what happened? Xue Lanlan wanted to get up in pain, but because she had been sitting for too long, her legs and feet were numb and softened as soon as she came together.

Xue Lanlan reluctantly supported the wall next to her, and opened the door of the bathroom little by little, and when she opened the door, she clearly found the problem.

"cough cough cough ......" The fog outside the bathroom door was mixed with the choking smell of smoke, and the most important thing was that she clearly felt the breath of rising temperature from the moment she came out, which was ...... Fire?

Xue Lanlan covered her mouth and nose while coughing and groping forward, but because of the discomfort of menstrual cramps, every step was as difficult as the little mermaid dancing on the tip of a knife.

Xue Lanlan listened to the noise outside gradually subsided, but she couldn't help but panic in her heart, the more silent it was outside, it meant that everyone had gone out.

Xue Lanlan walked forward in a little hurry, as soon as she got out of the women's bathroom, she saw the fire, just as she guessed, there was a fire in the office area outside.

Xue Lanlan hurriedly tore the corner of her skirt, pulled out a piece of fabric, dipped it in water, and covered her mouth and nose so as not to choke, she came to work in a dress that was not suitable for her today, and this piece of cloth was torn off, and the original mid-length skirt really became a short skirt in a nightclub.

The toilet in the office area is on the periphery, and there is a long corridor across the toilet, although the fire has not yet come over at this time, there is a tendency to come this way, Xue Lanlan is difficult to walk painfully, according to this spreading speed, she can say that she will definitely not be able to run the fire.

Xue Lanlan leaned against the wall in some despair, and just when she was helpless, she heard a slight cough, she squinted, and saw a vigorous figure on the other side of the raging fire.

That's Jiang Yi's figure!

Xue Lanlan and Jiang Yi have been a former couple for so long, she is still easy to share Jiang Yi's figure, and Xue Lanlan can't care about the complicated emotions of love and hate, and directly shouts Jiang Yi's name: "Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi!" ”

It's just that no matter how she shouts here, Jiang Yi on the other end seems to have not heard it, and tries to walk towards another intersection, for Xue Lanlan, Jiang Yi at this time is like the last life-saving grass, she doesn't care about anything else at all, gritting her teeth and walking in Jiang Yi's direction little by little.

But Jiang Yi walked faster and faster, Xue Lanlan's throat was about to smoke under the heavy smoke, Jiang Yi didn't mean to stop, at this moment, Xue Lanlan began to wonder if Jiang Yi could hear it, deliberately pretending not to hear it, because the distance between the two people was not too far, although there was a fire as a companion, but the whole was fine, she should have shouted for so long, even if she couldn't hear clearly, she should have heard someone calling, and she would look back.

But the whole time, he didn't look back, and even as her voice approached, he walked faster.

"Ginger...... cough cough cough ......" Xue Lanlan choked on the big smoke and paused suddenly, and at this time she clearly saw that Jiang Yi, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.

Xue Lanlan covered her mouth and nose, thinking that he was going to turn around and take her away, but she didn't expect him to be silent for a few seconds, turned his head to look at her, and then walked out of the safe passage without saying a word.

Xue Lanlan lost all her strength at once, originally she just guessed that he didn't dare to come to save her, but when she saw him looking at her, she was sure that he was deliberately ignoring her.

Probably the reason is that he is afraid that he will become a burden to him at this time, and he will not be able to escape even if he is involved! Xue Lanlan lost all her strength at once, pain and disappointment gnawed at her reason together, even a woman known as a "strong woman" would be desperate and scared in the face of fire and death.

Xue Lanlan watched the fire get closer and closer, she took a deep breath, then lowered her head and took out her mobile phone with all her strength, she opened the mobile phone, and thought for a long time not knowing who to call.

Mom? If she could, she didn't want her mother to know where she was, she didn't want to be in a last minute, and she had to worry about her.

But except for her mother, she had no other worries, just when Xue Lanlan was thinking like this, she suddenly remembered Du Peng, she pondered for a few seconds and called Du Peng.

The phone was answered after two "beeps", and she remembered that Du Peng always answered her phone in seconds.

"Hey, Xue Lanlan, what's the matter?"

Du Peng...... Ahem...... I felt like I was going to die. Xue Lanlan covered her mouth and nose and said with her only remaining strength: "There was a fire in our company, and I had menstrual pain and no strength, so I was trapped here." ”

"I see the GPS location, I'm going to save you."

"No...... Ahem, are you a robot here to feed the fire? Xue Lanlan complained to her a little speechlessly, and it was precisely because of this complaint that Xue Lanlan's mood calmed down a little, she took a deep breath, and then smoothed all her sanity together.

The fire was raging, the temperature was very high, Xue Lanlan got up again, and returned to the bathroom little by little, if she returned to the bathroom at this time, she might still have a glimmer of hope.

Xue Lanlan turned on the faucet in the bathroom, and while she was tinkering with these, she instructed Du Peng: "I don't know if I can go back this time, you do me a favor, if I die, don't tell my mother, use my savings, send money to my mother every month, delay as long as you can." ”

Xue Lanlan knew how cruel it was for a single mother to accept the death of her only child, so all she could do was to delay as much as she could, until she couldn't delay it any longer.

That's probably the only thing she can do, she took a deep breath, and then said into the phone: "Also, I have to have all my deposits in the drawer of my room, the key to the drawer is hidden in my pillow, my bank card password is my birthday, and ...... Be kind to my mother, just ...... The identity of my boyfriend. Xue Lanlan really couldn't find an excuse, she was like an old man who explained the future, and hurried to announce her situation.

At this time, Du Peng on the other end of the phone did not squeak.

"Du Peng?" Xue Lanlan couldn't help but scream, could this be a bad signal at a critical moment? When Xue Lanlan was thinking in her heart, Du Peng on the other end of the phone said leisurely: "I'm here, I'll rush to you now, I can save you." ”

"When you come, the daylily will be cold." After Xue Lanlan jokingly finished speaking, she leaned against the bathroom, slowly closed her eyes, and said to the other end of the phone: "Actually, I don't know what will happen now, I have handed over the right of life and death to God." ”

She did everything she could, and all she was left to gamble on whether she could prevent the water pipes from exploding when the fire came, so as to protect her pure land.

Xue Lanlan leaned against the corner of the bathroom, she was dying waiting for the fire to spread, even now she leaned near the faucet, she felt the temperature rise, as if it was about to swallow her at any time, and the phone was still open, Du Peng on the other end of the phone was silent, but the sound of the car whistle from time to time could make Xue Lanlan feel that he was rushing here.

She lay on the ground with some difficulty, and just when she was dying, she heard a rush of footsteps, Xue Lanlan's heart tightened, how could there be anyone at this time?

The only remaining desire to win made her cry out loudly, "Anyone? ”

When she shouted, she realized that her voice was hoarse, and not only that, but the sound of her voice was small and strange, like the wind blowing the branches of a tree.

Xue Lanlan pinched her throat and eyes in some pain, and shouted loudly again: "People outside, can you hear it?" There are people here! ”

This time, the sound outside stopped again, as if it was outside the bathroom door, Xue Lanlan struggled to move her body, but due to the weakness of her body, she couldn't make this action.

At this time, the door of the bathroom was pushed open suddenly, and Xue Lanlan saw the person walking in at a glance, to be precise, she didn't expect this person to appear here.

The person who came was Qiao Ping.

"You can hide, I almost didn't find you." Qiao Ping walked over quickly, then turned his back to Xue Lanlan and said, "Come, come up quickly, I'll send you out." ”

Xue Lanlan suddenly calmed down, and then lay on Qiao Pingdi's back with her hands and feet, she didn't care about whether men and women were kissed or not at this time.

When she lay on Qiao Ping's back, she realized how strong the big boy's body was, and his arms were as hard as two iron bricks, but she had just fallen on Qiao Ping's back, and the mobile phone she had been holding in her hand fell to the ground uncontrollably, and the mobile phone fell to the ground immediately and shattered the screen.

Qiao Ping looked at the miserable mobile phone on the ground and said, "It looks like the mobile phone screen is broken, let's go out first, and then buy a new mobile phone when the time comes." ”

Xue Lanlan took a breath, nodded lightly and said, "Okay, but ...... Why are you here?"

Although she is still in the fire, it may be because she has someone to accompany her, or it may be that Qiao Ping's physical strength gave her a lot of comfort and made her ask something in this situation.

Qiao Ping seemed to carry Xue Lanlan very easily, and then strode away to the survival passage, he answered Xue Lanlan's question as he ran: "I came to look for someone, but I heard that there was a fire in the building on your side, and then I didn't see you, so I ran up, and it was quite timely." ”

Xue Lanlan listened to Qiao Ping's words, her heart was slightly grateful, and she paused: "Thank you." ”

After she said this, she saw Qiao Ping's ears reddened slightly, which seemed clearer in this tight space, he hugged her tightly, and then took a bigger step, he said, "It's time to go out." ”

Xue Lanlan listened to Qiao Ping's words and hurriedly followed, and when she felt the light outside, she noticed that the smoke before had thinner.

Qiao Ping's speed was very fast, and he ran down the fourth floor without skipping his breath, and he quickly walked out with Xue Lanlan, and at this time Xue Lanlan found that there were many people outside, and the most were colleagues from the company.

Xue Lanlan was recited like this, which couldn't help but be a little eye-catching.

A few familiar girls at the head ran over and asked, "Sister Xue, are you okay?" ”

Xue Lanlan nodded and responded to the other party's words, at this time, Qiao Ping did not let her down immediately, but looked around, and finally found a chair, and then carefully put her down.

Xue Lanlan looked at Qiao Ping's actions, and her heart was inexplicably filled with gratitude.

Qiao Ping's behavior and appearance are not bad, this gentleman's approach is also seen by other little girls, and those girls have come over to ask Qiao Ping about the situation by talking to her.

- "Sister Xue, who is this, so handsome, is it your boyfriend?" ”

- "Sister Xue, he looks so good carrying you out, how many years have you been dating?" ”

- "Sister Xue, he's younger than you, little wolf dog boyfriend, so handsome!" ”

Xue Lanlan listened to the girl chattering beside her with a little headache, and Qiao Ping listened silently, with a face full of resistance to talking to her.

It's cold.

At this moment, Josh didn't know where to come from, so he walked in front of Xue Lanlan in three or two steps, hugged his chest condescendingly and said, "Hey, he's my younger brother, and he is still single, and he doesn't know Team Leader Xue." ”

Is Jopin Josh's younger brother? Xue Lanlan raised her eyebrows, she remembered that Qiao Ping said that she had a sister, but she never thought that it was Qiao Xi's younger brother, and looking at this situation, she didn't know that Qiao Ping's blind date was her, anyway, this is a big melon! Xue Lanlan couldn't help but set her eyes on Qiao Ping.

"Sister, me and Xue ......." Qiao Ping was a little dissatisfied and wanted to correct Josh's words, but Xue Lanlan intercepted what he was about to say one step ahead of time, and intervened in the conversation: "You asked your brother to find me?" ”

"Yes, I went out to buy lunch, there was a fire in the office, everyone ran out, I just saw that you were not there, originally, I didn't want my brother to save you, but who called me good, I said Xue Lanlan, you, it's really fateful, if it weren't for my brother, you would have died, you know!" When Josh said this, he put a takeaway in his hand beside her and said, "For lunch, I bought you some porridge, you can be shocked, eat as much as you want." ”

"Thank you." As soon as Xue Lanlan took the porridge, she heard Qiao Ping on the other side say reluctantly: "No, sister, obviously you were in a hurry, and you looked like you had to rescue her, why didn't you want me to save her?" ”

Qiao Ping paused, and didn't give Josh the time to speak, and hurriedly said: "At that time, my sister was pulling my neckline with one hand, looking like if I didn't save you, she would kill me." ”

"Joe! Flat! Probably Qiao Ping dismantled Josh's stage too much, and before Qiao Ping's words were finished, Josh ran up and blocked his mouth and said: "We adults are talking, you are a little child and a girl interjecting something, didn't you make an appointment with your blind date at night, hurry up and meet your blind date!" ”

Saying that, Josh dragged Qiao Ping away with a drag, and didn't even give him any chance to speak again, Xue Lanlan couldn't help but feel a little envious when she looked at Josh domineering and dragged Qiao Ping away.

She lowered her head and took out the lunch Josh brought her, a bowl of porridge, and a stack of side dishes, she drank it lightly twice, and said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing.

Although she was unlucky enough to lose her phone this time and almost confessed to it, no matter what, she was in an unusually good mood after coming out now.

Xue Lanlan took a deep breath of clean air, but at this moment, she completely forgot that Du Peng was still on her way here, and she didn't know that when she came out, Du Peng had just arrived at the company, he watched Qiao Ping carry her out, watched him carefully put her on the stool, and watched her eat lunch unharmed at the moment.

Xue Lanlan didn't know that he was like this, standing quietly in place and watching her silhouette for a long time, but without the courage to go up, they were like robots that had lost their programming.
