Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Night deepened.

Two o'clock in the morning is when people are most sleepy.

Inside the orphanage, everyone was fast asleep, and no one noticed that the fire was growing bigger and bigger.

After reading the last document, Fu Zhengting picked up his phone to check the time and realized it was already past 2 a.m.

Time flies when I'm busy with work.

He enjoys being so focused and dedicated to his work.

There's a certain mentality: on the last day of work, you want to stay at the company a little longer.

If it weren't for thinking about Tian Tian, ​​I would have stayed at the company all night.

I want to get all those important projects sorted out before I leave.

Never mind, seeing Tian Tian is the most important thing right now.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, closed the file, twisted his stiff neck, and stood up.

He picked up the suit jacket draped over the back of his office chair and put it on. He opened Mu Tiantian's number, wanting to call her, but he was afraid that Mu Tiantian would be asleep with the children at this hour and he would wake her and the children up.

If we rush there now, all we can do is sleep in the car when we get there.

He lowered his head and sniffed himself, then frowned in slight disgust.

Let's go back to the villa, take a hot shower, sleep for a few hours, and set off again tomorrow morning.

He shut down his computer, picked up his packed personal belongings, and left the office.

As I closed the door, I gazed around the office, and images of my past work flashed through my mind. A deep sense of reluctance remained in my heart.

When Fu Zhengting finally came out, the two secretaries and assistants at the reception desk perked up and went over to him. The assistant joked, "President, we thought you were going to stay up all night."

Fu Zhengting snapped out of his thoughts, closed the door, looked at the three of them, smiled warmly, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "On the last day of work, I was thinking of staying up all night, but I was thinking about my girlfriend, so I decided to go back."

The assistant and two secretaries were amused.

All three of them envied Mu Tiantian as her girlfriend.

At work, the president has always been decisive and straightforward.

The same applies to romantic relationships; if you're in a relationship, just admit it openly.

Fu Zhengting was touched that the three employees had worked overtime with him. "You three have worked hard. Go home and rest early."

The three of them didn't feel tired at all; even if they were tired, they felt happy.

The three followed Fu Zhengting downstairs.

The office building lights were completely turned off.

Back in the car, Fu Zhengting couldn't resist calling Mu Tiantian again.

I've gotten used to falling asleep with Tian Tian in my arms these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I'm back at the villa without Tian Tian by my side.

He could endure the discomfort of not showering just to see Tian Tian.

Still afraid of waking Mu Tiantian and the children, he tentatively sent a WeChat message to Mu Tiantian.

If there was no reply within a minute, it could be concluded that Mu Tiantian had fallen asleep.

He was caught in a dilemma.

Should we go back to the villa to take a shower first, or go directly there?

In the end, I decided to go directly.

Enter the orphanage's address into the navigation, start the car, and drive away.

In the orphanage.

The fire spread more and more fiercely.

The storage room contains many winter clothes donated by kind people, as well as fireworks to be set off for the children's celebration tomorrow. These are all flammable items, and once they catch fire, the fire will spread very quickly.

Mu Tiantian woke up groggily and wanted to use the restroom. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a huge ball of fire, which was spreading to the room where the children were sleeping.

She was so frightened that she was wide awake.

I rubbed my eyes hard and pinched my arm to make sure it wasn't a dream or a hallucination.

There's no time to think about why it caught fire; the most important thing now is to get the children evacuated.

She was glad she woke up; sometimes she was too lazy to get up to go to the bathroom when it was cold.

If the fire had grown any bigger, I can't even imagine how terrible it would have been.

She immediately perked up, turned around and banged on the door of the next room, not caring whether it was awkward or not, and shouted loudly, "Wen Kerou, get up quickly, there's a fire!"

inside.

Wen Kerou slept soundly. Having suffered from chronic sleep problems, it was a rare treat to come here and sleep with the children. Her tired body was finally able to relax, and she drifted into a deep sleep. No matter how loudly Mu Tiantian pounded on the door outside, she couldn't hear her.

Some children also sleep very soundly.

Xiao Hei was woken up by the noise, and she clearly heard Mu Tiantian's voice outside.

Sweetie said it's on fire!

She remembered what the headmistress had taught them about how to escape in case of fire, and her sleepy eyes suddenly opened wide.

They shook Wen Kerou twice, but she still didn't wake up.

She panicked and, in the dark, lifted the covers and got out of bed. Zhang Huamei had specially asked someone to set the light switch lower so that they could turn off the lights themselves.

Xiao Hei turned on the light and then went to open the door.

She is five years old, and she can open the door just by standing on her tiptoes.

Mu Tiantian breathed a brief sigh of relief when she saw the door finally open.

Seeing that it was Xiao Hei who opened the door, he patted Xiao Hei's head and praised him, "Xiao Hei, you're great."

She quickly entered the room and saw Wen Kerou still asleep in bed. She was a little puzzled and a little worried.

How can you be sleeping so soundly?

The children were all woken up, but Wen Kerou, who is so old, was still sleeping so soundly.

She rushed over and grabbed Wen Kerou's arm. "Hey, Wen Kerou, wake up!"

Wen Kerou was so tired that she finally cleared her mind and didn't want to think about anything. There was only one thought in her mind: to get a good night's sleep.

Mu Tiantian began to worry whether Wen Kerou had some kind of health problem.

If something goes wrong at this point, it will be terrible.

Even if someone is very thin, it's difficult to take a sleeping adult out in public.

Although Wen Kerou was her love rival, she didn't do anything to hurt her; she didn't want her to die.

She began to touch Wen Kerou's forehead; it wasn't hot, so it didn't seem like she had a fever.

If you look closely, you can see a faint dark circle under Wen Kerou's eyelids, and her breathing sounds a bit heavy.

It's probably because I was sleeping too soundly.

If they still can't wake me up, we'll have to fetch water and splash it on me to wake me up.

There are so many children here, but very few adults. We need to wake up all the adults first and take the children out.

She shook Wen Kerou's arm several times but still couldn't wake her up, so she gave up.

He earnestly instructed Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, there's a fire now, and the situation is very dangerous. I need to go back to the next room to get my phone to call the fire department. You're responsible for waking up your younger siblings and older siblings. You all need to get out safely together, understand?"

Little Black nodded obediently and immediately went to shake the little sister in the first position on the bed.

Mu Tiantian went out of the room and quickly observed the fire. It wasn't completely engulfed yet, so there was still a chance to escape.

She went back to the next room, picked up her phone, and started shaking the children while making a call.

The children were gradually awakened by the noise. They were sound asleep and were very tired. They reluctantly got out of bed, yawning and rubbing their eyes.

Upon hearing Mu Tiantian loudly proclaim that there was a fire and they needed to leave quickly, their squinted eyes widened in fright.

Mu Tiantian said seriously, "Children, the situation outside is very dangerous. You should all stand up straight and be ready to escape at any time. I'm going to wake up your headmistress now so she can take you away safely."
