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

The children were so frightened that they all huddled closer to Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian quickly regained her composure.

She wished she could stretch out ten hands and take all the children out at once.

Now all we can do is keep moving forward while repeatedly telling the children not to be afraid and not to run around.

She turned her head to look at Wen Kerou, who was organizing the children to come over from behind.

As if by unspoken agreement, Wen Kerou met her gaze.

In this dangerous moment, neither of them had time to hesitate; they had only one common goal: to get all the children out safely.

They exchanged a glance for only a second before continuing to organize the children to go outside.

As the flames grew larger, smoke rose from the scene, and a little girl at the very back began to cough.

Every time I cough, I feel like patting my chest. But when I let go of my hand, I tripped after taking two steps.

The little girl's ankle was very painful, and she couldn't stand up for a while. In addition, she was coughing and felt uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but cry.

Even though she was terrified, she was afraid of burdening everyone at such a young age, so she tried to stand up despite the pain. But every time she moved, the pain in her sprained ankle became even worse. She gritted her teeth bravely, but the pain brought tears streaming down her face.

The children in front were so focused on following Wen Kerou that they didn't notice the little girl falling down.

When Wen Kerou heard the little girl crying, she turned her head and saw that she was already quite a distance away.

The second-to-last little boy wanted to turn back to help the little girl up, but Wen Kerou, in a moment of panic, called out to him.

This situation put her in a very difficult position.

The little girl who sprained her ankle is named Xiaolan, a name given to her by Zhang Huamei, meaning that Xiaolan can be as strong as an orchid.

Like Xiao Hei, Xiao Lan suffered from congenital heart disease and was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage. She was just as sensible as Xiao Hei, which was heartbreaking.

She couldn't wait to turn back and pull Xiaolan up.

But we don't know if it will explode again. If it explodes again, we won't even have a chance to escape.

We cannot risk the lives of so many children just to save Xiaolan.

In this urgent situation, she cannot afford to be indecisive.

So she immediately stopped Xiao Hei and raised her voice to comfort Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, wait a moment, I'll take my younger siblings and older siblings out and come back to save you right away."

After saying that, she continued to lead the children to follow Mu Tiantian.

When Mu Tiantian heard Xiao Lan crying, her heart ached terribly.

She quickly turned her head to look, admiring Wen Kerou's decisiveness.

At this time, one must not be swayed by personal feelings, but must consider the overall situation.

If casualties cannot be avoided, then the number of casualties should be minimized.

I'm worried that if we walk too fast, the children won't be able to keep up, and if one of them falls, it will be a real problem.

She never dared to run too fast, wanting to take care of every child following her.

Fortunately, the children were obedient and cooperative enough that none of them fell, and they successfully made it to the safe area outside the gate.

Wen Kerou then led the children out safely.

The two put down the children in their arms at the same time, told the children to stay in the safe area, and then turned around almost simultaneously to rush in.

Without a moment's hesitation, they all wanted to save Xiaolan.

As they turned around, Wen Kerou and Mu Tiantian exchanged a glance.

They were both moved by each other's character, and at that moment, the identity of their rival seemed to automatically disappear.

Mu Tiantian even thought that if it weren't for Fu Zhengting, perhaps she and Wen Kerou would have become very good friends.

Fu Zhengting is such a good person, and all the girls who like him are just as good!

No one knows if they can come out safely if they rush in. Sacrificing Xiaolan would definitely minimize the casualties.

However, she couldn't bear to watch poor Xiaolan be swallowed up in the fire.

Even though Xiaolan and Xiaohei were both diagnosed by doctors during their hospitalization, they were very likely not to live past 23.

But Xiaolan is only five years old now. Even if she doesn't live to be 23, she still has about 18 years to live.

The firefighters may be quite far away, and we haven't heard the fire trucks yet. We can't expect to wait for the firefighters to come and put out the fire before we can rescue Xiaolan.

In the exchange of glances, the two understood each other's thoughts.

Their eyes met with unwavering determination and admiration.

Everyone is afraid of death, especially the painful and cruel way of being burned to death.

The courage to turn around and go in without hesitation when faced with danger is admirable.

In the face of great love, romantic love seems insignificant.

Wen Kerou silently told herself that if she and Mu Tiantian could safely rescue Xiaolan this time, she would force herself to give up on Fu Zhengting and let Fu Zhengting and Mu Tiantian be together.

Just consider it letting go of yourself and no longer clinging to that obsession.

Mu Tiantian thought to herself that if she couldn't get out, but Wen Kerou could, then she would let Wen Kerou love Fu Zhengting in her place.

Anyway, Wen Kerou is such a good person, and she loves Fu Zhengting so much.

If someone loves Fu Zhengting, then she can leave with a clearer mind.

But the thought of dying and never seeing Fu Zhengting, who loved her so much, and her beloved mother overwhelmed her with boundless fear.

Even though she was terrified, she never thought of backing down.

There was no time to hesitate.

Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate; let God decide.

She rushed in before Wen Kerou.

Looking at Mu Tiantian's decisive back, Wen Kerou's admiration deepened.

She began to understand why Fu Zhengting liked Mu Tiantian so much.

Although Mu Tiantian is not very pretty, not very tall, and comes from a poor family, she has a kind and loving heart.

Fu Zhengting is a very kind person. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because they were of the same kind that Mu Tiantian was so attractive to him.

But she is a kind person, so why can't she attract Fu Zhengting?

At this point, she didn't want to dwell on these issues of love anymore.

In the face of great love, romantic love is so insignificant.

She reminded the children again to stay put, and then decisively rushed inside.

Just as they rushed in, another explosion rang out.

As the fire grew larger and more children needed to be taken out, Zhang Huamei and the other adults in the courtyard were a step slower. They had just walked from the kitchen to the front gate when the explosion rang out. Fortunately, the power was not very strong. The moment it rang out, she quickly pressed the children down to lie down, and at a distance, no children were injured.

But no matter how sensible the children are, they are still just children, and many of them were so frightened that they cried.

Zhang Huamei didn't know the cause of the explosion or whether it would continue. She quickly got up and helped the children up one by one.

Mu Tiantian, who rushed back first, steeled herself and bypassed Xiao Lan. She rushed over and, together with Zhang Huamei and several adults, helped all the children up. Then she quickly said, "Dean Zhang, you take the children out first. Xiao Lan twisted her ankle; I'll carry her later."

As they spoke, flames rushed over, burning their faces with a searing pain.

It would be too dangerous if your clothes and hair caught fire...
