Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 58 Well, You Win

Life is full of wonders and surprises, which is much more exciting than being a tree.

Tang Shu huddled against the wall behind the lounge door, and amidst the overwhelming fear, she managed to find time to think of this.

Perhaps the past hundreds of years had been so long and unchanging, and this roller coaster-like experience at this moment actually made her feel a little novel.

*

Fifteen minutes ago, Tang Shu was caught eavesdropping on Zhang Li and Ming Ruoxi's conversation.

She turned around and glared at Qian Mingye, blaming all the mistakes on his ostentatious silver hair.

Qian Mingye did not react, his attention was all on Zhang Li.

Look at Zhang Li carefully, analyze him seriously, and compare him with myself.

"Ah~ This is Zhang Li, the male protagonist that my sister and you fought over so hard that we were bloodied?"

"He looks... okay. In fact, in terms of facial features and figure, I think I am not inferior to him... As for temperament..."

"Hmm...hiss...gentleness with a hint of coldness, a seemingly kind appearance with a complex heart, gloom with a sexy feeling from the bones...it's quite exciting, isn't it?"

"But I think I can act to this extent...really."

Tang Shu didn't know how he could see so many things at once. Seeing Zhang Li walking towards her, she turned around and waved her hand in disdain at Qian Mingye.

"Please go, okay."

Qian Mingye looked at her in shock, his mouth open.

Tang Shu was probably the first girl he met who completely disliked and looked down on him.

But what’s going on? Instead of feeling disgusted, I actually feel a little itchy inside?

While he was stunned, Tang Shu had already walked out.

A clear conversation came to my ears:

"Who were you with just now?"

"No one, an insignificant person."

Ok?

Qian Mingye looked at the empty corridor and pointed at his own face. An insignificant person?

Even if you are not interested in him, there is no need to say this...

*

Tang Shu stood in front of the potted plant, casually stroked her long hair on her shoulders, and smiled sweetly at Zhang Li.

"Brother, why do I always meet you when I feel lost?"

"Ah..."

Zhang Li lowered his head and smiled. Although he knew she was just saying it casually, he still followed her words and asked, "Are you still disappointed now?"

"Now, I only regret not coming sooner."

Tang Shu slowly looked him up and down, "Speaking of which, brother really suits well in formal attire."

"This is just an ordinary waiter's uniform..." Zhang Li was a little helpless.

This location was not far from where he and Ming Ruoxi were talking, and it was so quiet that there was no way she hadn't heard their conversation.

But Tang Shu didn't ask a single question and instead found some irrelevant words to change the subject.

This perfect sense of proportion is also one of her lovable qualities.

Zhang Li touched her hair and asked softly,

"are you alone?"

Tang Shu smiled and replied, "It wasn't just now, but it is now."

Zhang Li didn't ask any more questions. He just looked down at his uniform.

"Then...wait for me for ten minutes?"

"Brother, you don't have to go to work?"

Zhang Li curled his lips and imitated her tone, "I used it just now, but I don't need it now."

"You're not going to work anymore?"

The girl was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly frowned and advised him seriously,

"Zhang Li, if you just leave without saying goodbye, you won't get paid... I can wait for you to get off work..."

Perhaps she is the only one who cares about the little money he earns.

"Don't worry, you can get it. Today is the last day."

Zhang Li held Tang Shu's hand and walked forward, looking straight ahead, not wanting her to see his obsession.

*

After waiting at the employee entrance for ten minutes, Zhang Li still hadn't come out.

A young man wearing the same uniform came out and smiled at Tang Shu in a friendly manner.

"Why don't you wait for Zhang Li? The lock of his cabinet is stuck. He might be delayed for a while. I'll ask you to go to the lounge and wait for him first."

"lounge?"

The young man seemed a little busy, and pointed diagonally ahead, "Hey, go over there by yourself, I'm in a hurry to hand over the shift."

"OK, thanks..."

Tang Shu didn't suspect anything and pushed open the door of the VIP lounge without any precautions.

As soon as she walked in, she was grabbed by the burly man in black who was waiting behind the door.

The sturdy man quickly and skillfully tied her hands behind her back in one go.

A minute later, Ming Ruoxi pushed the door and walked in.

There was still traces of the dejection on her face, and when facing Tang Shu, she became neurotic.

"Tang Shu, I guess no one will help you this time."

"Hey, are you done yet..."

Tang Shu sat on the sofa with her hands behind her back and sighed helplessly.

She always forgets that this is an old novel of pain, and the characters in it cannot be explained by common sense, especially when it comes to love, they all have an inexplicable obsession.

"So what are we going to play this time, Miss Ming?"

Ming Ruoxi had an almost crazy smile on her face.

"Play with fire, okay?"

*

Fire? Tang Shu couldn't help but frown.

Besides being struck by lightning, what she fears most is fire.

Many years ago, her hilltop was hit by a fire, which burned almost half of its branches and leaves.

Fortunately, it rained in time and she was saved. But no matter how long it has been, the pain is still engraved into her bones.

Tang Shu frowned, "Not really, Ming Ruoxi."

"Not really. I'm just playing with you on my own turf. I won't do it for real."

Ming Ruoxi stood at the door and looked at her coldly.

"So, do you want to take a gamble?"

"What are you betting on?" Tang Shu pretended to be calm.

"While both of them are here today, let's see who will come to save you in a life-threatening accident, how about that?"

Ming Ruoxi finished speaking and opened the door.

The burly man at the door handed her a dark green gasoline can.

Obviously, Miss Ming, who is used to having smooth sailing, can't stand suffering any loss and will take revenge.

Coupled with being rejected repeatedly by Zhang Li, her arrogance completely killed her rationality.

Ming Ruoxi opened the lid and pushed the oil can under the curtain, allowing the pungent golden liquid to flow out slowly.

She walked back to the door, picked up a match on the cabinet for guests to use, lit one, and flicked it over accurately.

Flames immediately jumped up. Although Tang Shu tried not to scream, she fell heavily from the sofa.

Ming Ruoxi finally smiled with satisfaction.

Close the door and lock it from the outside.

*

Ming Ruoxi didn't lie, she just wanted to scare Tang Shu.

The restaurant is equipped with a full fire-fighting system, and this lounge is far away from the warehouse and kitchen, so it will not actually cause a fire.

But who knows?

There are gas pipelines and a large central control room in the restaurant.

Once a fire breaks out in these places, the explosion will instantly kill the people inside.

Even Tang Shu felt that no one would be stupid enough to rush in and look for her.

In the room, the complicated and heavy curtains were ignited immediately, and the flames rushed upwards eagerly, forming a curtain of fire in a few minutes.

At the same time, the sparks on the wool carpet were driven in all directions by gasoline, scrambling to climb onto the sofa and the wallpaper.

Tang Shu was clearly not burned at all, but she was trembling all over.

She looked at the flames that were everywhere in the house, and the pain deep in her memory surged up. She almost crawled and hid in the farthest corner.

The smoke alarm above our heads was triggered, and a shrill roar filled the entire restaurant.

The automatic sprinkler started working, spraying water continuously, soaking Tang Shu all over.

The open fire in the room was put out, but the thick black and yellow smoke became more and more, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

Tang Shu bit her lips tightly, trying not to let herself make any cowardly sound.

*

She survived like this for countless years.

It was just a human prank, no reason to scare her.

Ah.

*

"Womanly!"

Zhang Li pushed open the door of the lounge and saw Tang Shu's figure amid the gushing smoke.

She leaned against the wall at the door, sat upright, tried hard to keep her eyes open, and bit her lips hard.

Bright red blood flowed from under the bitten skin and dripped down the pale chin.

Normally, she would get red eyes and cry at any time, but at this moment, she was stubborn and showed no sign of weakness.

Tang Shu looked up at Zhang Li and blinked as if to confirm.

Then, she stood up shakily and raised her chin proudly towards Ming Ruoxi, whose face was pale behind Zhang Li.

"Look, I won."

Zhang Li picked up Tang Shu and leaned over to kiss her hair.

Gentle comfort,

"Well, you win..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

*

The restaurant entrance was crowded with people.

Tang Shu saw Gu Chiqi at a glance. He was standing with his mother. He wanted to rush over with an anxious look on his face, but was stopped.

Next to him was Qian Mingye, who was also stopped by his mother.

They all shouted Tang Shu's name loudly, but she felt so far away from them.

*

Why is this?

Tang Shu looked up at Zhang Li.

what...

Because they have a mother, but Zhang Li doesn't.

So in the face of danger, only Zhang Li can stand unobstructed, but he also has no protection.

"Zhang Li,"

She leaned close to Zhang Li's chest and hugged him back, "I want to go home."

"Okay, give me the address..."

"No," Tang Shu shook her head, "Go back to your home, to the family compound."

Zhang Li paused, lowered his head, and saw only her tears that did not reach her ears.

"it is good."
