Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 615 - 478: Yin Shixiu Will

At the brink of life and death, the one holding my hand without regard for her own safety is... Su Xiaomeng.

What is she doing it for?

At that moment, Chu Jiao really wanted to ask Su Xiaomeng.

But soon, she understood, realizing clearly that the biggest difference between her and Su Xiaomeng lay here.

Su Xiaomeng does things from the heart.

As for her, Chu Jiao, she lives by the opinions of others.

She wants the admiration, the adoration from others, weighing the pros and cons of anything before her, calculating the gains and losses...

But Su Xiaomeng doesn’t.

She feels at ease doing what makes her comfortable, and so she does it.

All the gazes, all the remarks from others, have nothing to do with her.

She doesn’t live for anyone, doesn’t live for anyone’s expectations.

Chu Jiao cried incessantly, with tears and snot streaming down her face.

Too much regret in her heart, too much guilt...

She knows, life is only this one time, not all mistakes have the chance to be remedied, not all guilt has the possibility to be eased...

"Wooo wooo wooo..."

Chu Jiao was almost out of breath from crying behind Su Xiaomeng.

However, Su Xiaomeng didn’t have the excess energy to distinguish Chu Jiao’s anguished cries at this moment.

The fire spread relentlessly with great ferocity, and she, in such a ferocious blaze like a dragon or a tiger, sought a sliver of survival.

Her eyes are set on the basement storage room of this church.

During the hostage situation, she saw a thug open the door leading to the basement storage room, grabbing some food while cursing.

Su Xiaomeng remembers it should be near the piano position.

She covered her mouth as the dense smoke made her head ache, and her vision blur.

She doesn’t know if that storage room will bring them a sliver of hope... or utter despair.

But regardless of what it may be, she has to give it a try.

Just as they moved to the piano, a beam from the church roof fell straight down, smashing the piano!

"Squat down!"

Xiao Meng spoke then crawled to the back of the piano, grasping the iron door handle, pulling open the door to the basement storage room.

A pungent smell of mold assaulted her nose, and at the same time, there was heavy dampness...

"Come over!"

Su Xiaomeng reached out to Chu Jiao, only then seeing Chu Jiao’s tear-streaked face...

A brief pause, this is not a time to ask "what’s wrong".

"Hurry!"

She shouted at Chu Jiao, who sniffled and quickly crawled over. Su Xiaomeng let Chu Jiao go down first.

Chu Jiao descended the stairs, glancing up to see another beam precariously hanging from the church roof!

"Watch out!"

Chu Jiao exclaimed!

Su Xiaomeng quickly slammed the door shut, pulling her hand back just as the iron door bulged from the impact!

Not only Su Xiaomeng, but even Chu Jiao was stunned by the close call.

Su Xiaomeng licked her lips, rubbed her chest, turning back to see Chu Jiao’s face now covered in dirt, mixed with sweat, tears, snot. In short... looking like a complete refugee!

Suddenly, she laughed,

"Cherry, seeing you like this now, I can’t remember how pretty you were before!"

Chu Jiao looked at her... At this point, she could still laugh!

"Is this the time to laugh?"

Su Xiaomeng shrugged, genuinely helpless, "Otherwise... I can’t cry, can I?"

"..."

Chu Jiao found the remark odd, as she was crying just now.

Su Xiaomeng went beside her, looking at her belly, reached out and gently patted it,

"This kid is really strong! When they grow up, they will definitely be more capable than you, but with much better character."

"..."

Is there still a possibility for them to grow up in the future?

For a moment, Chu Jiao was silent. Seeing Su Xiaomeng’s calm demeanor, she couldn’t help but think she was too worried, and hurriedly said,

"Is this the time to talk about this?"

Su Xiaomeng sighed, yes, now is not the time to talk about this.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Su Xiaomeng coughed painfully, the basement storage room was barely over twenty square meters. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The dampness and moldiness were heavy, raising a hand could faintly feel the high temperature from the ground.

"Hiding in here, while the door above is pressed by a beam, what should we do?"

Chu Jiao asked, even though she cried terribly just now, she asked seriously, though her voice was thick with nasal tone and sobs.

In Xiao Meng’s ears, it sounded like a child asking a mother what to do...

"All the church doors are blocked by door beams, people running outside were directly crushed to death... In contrast, this place is relatively safe."

"How long can it be safe?"

Chu Jiao sniffed again.

This problem was really pressing, but at this moment Su Xiaomeng still felt like laughing...

"Is it funny?"

Although Xiao Meng held back, Chu Jiao could still see her impulse to laugh.

Since Chu Jiao asked, Su Xiaomeng generously laughed out,

"You look really funny, too bad there’s no mirror, otherwise, if you look at yourself, you’ll laugh too."

"..."

"Why were you crying by the way? Just now when standing silly waiting for death you didn’t cry."

Su Xiaomeng asked, then limped to the wooden box in the corner, attempting to check what’s inside—

Suddenly, five or six mice jumped out and scurried in all directions!

"Ah—!"

Su Xiaomeng’s scream was even more intense than those burning in the fire!

Chu Jiao was taken aback.

Su Xiaomeng clutched at her heart, her scalp tingling for quite a while.

Suddenly,

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Chu Jiao pointed at her, holding her belly and laughed for a good while, "Haha... cough, cough..."

"What’s so funny! I’m not afraid of mice, they just startled me!"

"There’s one by your foot!"

Chu Jiao suddenly pointed at Su Xiaomeng’s foot, causing Su Xiaomeng to jump to the side, her injured foot hitting the ground hard, cold sweat bursting from the pain!

"Sorry, I was joking. Cough..."

"Is this the time? You’re still joking, cough!"

Su Xiaomeng glared at Chu Jiao.

Chu Jiao approached, supporting Su Xiaomeng,

"Sit down. Let me check your foot, I used to be a volunteer for the International Red Cross and know a bit about external injuries."

Su Xiaomeng wiped her face, her cheeks stinging...

"You really know a bit of everything..."

Chu Jiao paused.

The sarcasm that should have been in Su Xiaomeng’s words, she couldn’t hear a bit of it, what Chu Jiao could hear...

Was only Su Xiaomeng’s admiration for her.

"It’s a shrapnel wound..."

"Hmm."

"The wound’s inflamed, continuing like this is not good."

Chu Jiao frowned, her worry genuine.

Xiao Meng shrugged, "Compared to our current situation, this injury is nothing."

Chu Jiao glanced at her, sizing her up, for a moment...

She sat beside her, feeling all her strength drained.

"What do you think... this situation is?"

Chu Jiao asked Su Xiaomeng.

"A calamity."

"..."

Chu Jiao didn’t expect Su Xiaomeng to answer this way.

"Encountering something like this, isn’t it a calamity? I’m enduring this calamity, hoping to accumulate some virtue and blessings for my children."

"You’re really optimistic."

"If I don’t think this way, I’ll find this world truly unfair."

Su Xiaomeng murmured, looking at her injured foot, seeing the pus and blood through the wound...

"This world is inherently unfair."

Chu Jiao said.

"Yes, it’s inherently unfair, so when I start to rant about how unfair it is, I’ve already lost."

"..."

"Fortunate to have it, resigned to lose it, cherish what we have, and don’t cling too much to what we’ve lost... Cherry, am I right?"

"..."

"Do you think... someone will come to save us?"

Su Xiaomeng replied, "They will."

Chu Jiao chuckled softly, "With so many charred corpses outside, no one can tell who’s who, how would anyone guess there’s a storage room down here?"

"Yin Shixiu will."
