Even if there was no anti-burglar screen, they still wouldnât be able to jump out the window. The lab was on the ninth floor. They would die for sure if they jumped.
Sadly, she turned to Jiang Yuning, who was next to her. The fire added a red glow to his beautiful face. He was such an outstanding guyâand one of the top scientists in the country. And he about to die in that small lab, because of her.
Had she known this would happen, she would never have become friends with him.
âIâm so sorry for dragging you into this,â Nian Xi said with a trembling voice, holding his hands tightly.
âMove!â Jiang Yuning pushed her away with a serious look, then took out a lighter-like thing from his pocket. With that small tool, he cut open the anti-burglar screen in a few seconds.
Then he unstrapped his belt, tied one end of it on the anti-burglar window and pulled out a very thin thread from the belt. He tied the thread on his waist, then turned and said to Nian Xi, âLie on my back. Weâll go down slowly.â
Nian Xi was astounded. âWith, with this thread?â
âThis is nanometer wire.â Jiang Yuning wrapped the wire around himself and then said to her, âButton up your shirt.â
Under that circumstance, Nian Xi had no choice but to follow every word the scientist said.
She found it interesting. Normally, he always followed her instructions, but when he gave his orders, she automatically listened to him.
While she was buttoning up her shirt, Jiang Yuning took out a bottle of liquid and sprayed it on his back. Then, he said to her anxiously, âCome on, get on my back.â
Nian Xi had no time to think. She jumped onto his back and found herself sticking to him.
âWhat did you put on your back?â
âThe superglue I invented. Not even a truck can separate us now,â Jiang Yuning said while crawling out the window.
Suddenly the curtain caught fire. Nian Xi was hanging outside the window. She had received all kinds of training when she was in school, but at the moment, there was no safety gear on her at all. She was even shaking with fear.
âHurry... hurry up, your spider thread is on fire.â
âItâs nanometer wire, not spider thread. â Jiang Yuning corrected her seriously.
Nian Xi almost collapsed. âThis isnât the time to argue over that. Just get me down.â
Jiang Yuning held the wire, stepped on the wall, moved slowly downward.
âThe fire canât break it. Itâs fireproof and waterproof.â
âIâm impressed. If I survive this, youâve got to get me some of that thread.â Nian Xi held his neck tightly.
Jiang Yuningâs face had reddened entirely. The wire wrapped on one of his hands. It was super thin and his hand started bleeding once he moved a slight distance downward.
âYour hand...â Nian Xi saw his blood. She clearly understood that the wire would certainly break his skin, as it needed to hold the weight of two adults.
His waist must be in severe pain too.
Suddenly, she figured out why he tied the wire on himself but used the superglue on her. He didnât want her to get hurt.
She felt so complicated at that moment. She realized how shallow she was before. She always wanted a tall and strong boyfriend, and never liked the slim ones like Jiang Yuning. She admired him but didnât want a boyfriend like him.
But now, she discovered that he was so much stronger than she thought.
He didnât have strong muscles, yet he once defeated a sturdy guy in the police station very easily. And now he had saved her from the fire on the ninth floor.
