Chapter 1064: The Revolutionary Friendship
At this moment, they were in the room of the club .
At 8:05 PM, Wen Xinya’s friends began to express their displeasure with Si Yiyan for being late .
They initially agreed to meet at eight, but Wen Xinya’s friends arrived at 7:40 PM . Although it was alright for them to wait for the star of the evening, they had been waiting since 7:40 PM .
Hence, they had failed Si Yiyan in terms of punctualness!
The looks of displeasure on their faces made Wen Xinya break out into cold sweat . She frantically explained, “He’s usually very punctual and he’s never late to our dates . He just came back from Russia and he has some stuff to handle . He’s tied up with something and he’s not late on purpose . He’s already on the way and will be here soon . ”
Fine! She actually barely went on any dates with Si Yiyan, but he had never been a tardy person . Besides, he would always weigh the pros and cons . Hence, he definitely was aware of how important the meeting with Wen Xinya’s friends was . The only explanation was that the video conference was very important, so much that he could not turn it down .
Wen Xinya’s explanation did not earn their understanding .
Gritting her teeth angrily, Zhou Tianyu said, “It’s his first time meeting us and yet, he’s late . He shall see how I deal with him later . ”
Xu Tongxuan grabbed the fruit knife and said, “Men are just like apples . We must skin them to know if they’re good . ”
Staring at Ling Qingxuan, Xu Tongxuan smiled peculiarly and revealed their pearly whites . They were just as shiny as the knife . Ling Qingxuan shivered . “Well, this brother is vicious . It’s just a meeting . Why do you have to get knives involved?”
Han Mofeng whistled and asked in a gloating manner, “Xinya, seems like your boyfriend isn’t that satisfactory . Why don’t you consider kicking him away and getting a new boyfriend?”
Since Xu Zhenyu was not around, he decided to do his best friend a favor, on the account of their revolutionary friendship .
Du Ruo stared at Han Mofeng innocently with her eyes wide open . “It seems like you really want Xinya to break up with him . ”
The pure and innocent Du Ruo made Han Mofeng feel less angry .
Han Mofeng frantically held onto Du Ruo’s hand and explained to her how great of a sin it was for Wen Xinya’s boyfriend to be late .
Gu Junling was the only one who remained calm .
Previously, Gu Junling’s heart shattered because of what Du Ruo said . At this moment, Si Yiyan, who used to be everyone’s idol and the well-known lady killer, had given everyone a bad impression because he was late . Hence, he felt a sudden and strange sense of equality .
The legendary Mr . Perfect is not that impressive, huh!?!
Well, I’m much more punctual than he is! Gu Junling thought to himself .
Everyone began to express their displeasure .
Wen Xinya suddenly smelled the smell of smoke and asked, “Do you guys smell something strange?”

Zhou Tianyu glowered at her and chastised . “I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to change the subject on purpose . ”
Du Ruo agreed . “I think…”
Xu Tongxuan waved the knife in her hand and said with a tender smile, “Don’t put in a good word for her . ”
Although Du Ruo was sharp and shrewd, she often took pity on others . Hence, they could not give Wen Xinya the chance to use Du Ruo to escape the punishment .
At this juncture, Gu Junling began to sense that something was amiss too . He took a deep breath and said, “It seems to be the smell of smoke . ”
Sensing a threat, Wen Xinya sprung up from the couch and dashed towards the window to draw the curtains open . She then opened the window and stuck her head out to see that there were thick fumes of smoke spreading from the floor above them .
A sullen expression formed on her face and she said, “A fire broke out upstairs, and it seems to be a huge fire . It’ll spread rapidly . Let’s hurry and leave . ”
Dismay was written all over everyone’s faces, and the timid Du Ruo turned as pale as a sheet .
Wen Xinya held her hand and said, “Ruoruo, don’t be afraid, the fire hasn’t spread to us yet . ”
The few of them hurriedly grabbed their items and dashed out of the private room .

The fire spread rapidly and the entire club was surrounded by thick fumes of smoke as the flames had already spread to the floor that they were on .
At this moment, news of fire had already broken and all the corridors were filled with frantic customers trying to run for their lives . The club was rather small and the corridors were narrow too . To make things worse, there were plenty of customers and service staff . Everyone continuously knocked into each other and trampled all over each other because of the chaos .
Angry customers were hurling vulgarities and airing their grievances .
At this moment, everyone dashed towards the elevators and some of the anxious customers tried to leave using the elevator .
Wen Xinya frantically yelled in a bid to stop them . “Everyone, take the stairs . Don’t take the elevator because it tends to break down during a fire . ”
However, some were insistent on ignoring her .
Although Wen Xinya was no saint, she would not watch others end their own lives without rendering them any help . Hence, she stuffed Du Ruo’s hand into Zhou Tianyu’s and sprinted towards the elevator door, after which she pulled a middle-aged woman who had already entered out of the elevator . She then stopped the other two people who were trying to get inside the elevator .
“Are you sick of living!?!”
Everyone seemed to have come to their senses .
“Guys, don’t panic . There’s an emergency safety passageway here . Let’s evacuate from here . ”

There were more than ten floors in the building which was densely occupied . Wen Xinya and her friends were on the fifth floor, which was rather close to the ground . However, the fire was spreading rapidly and every floor was covered in thick fumes that caused tears to well up in their eyes .
“Hurry and flee! The fire has already spread here,” a voice screamed .
The shriek caused an uproar amongst the people who were trying to escape . Wen Xinya witnessed the gruesome and cruel side of humanity during a life and death situation . Frustrated customers yelled and cursed their hearts out while squeezing through the narrow stairwells . Wen Xinya even witnessed a middle-aged woman being pushed down the stairs by a man and ended up bleeding because of a head injury .
Du Ruo screamed and let go of Wen Xinya before sprinting down the stairs .
As a medical practitioner, she could not ignore any injured victims or leave them in the lurch .
Wen Xinya frantically chased after her . “Ruoruo… Ruoruo…”
At this moment, Du Ruo was squatting on the ground and trying to stop the middle-aged woman from bleeding by applying her special acupuncture massage techniques . She had completely forgotten that she was stuck in a dangerous predicament and her eyes had become bloodshot because of the fumes of smoke . Her mucus rolled down her nostrils continuously and she was coughing violently as well . Feeling extremely touched, Wen Xinya stayed beside Du Ruo and shielded her from the stampede .
However, Wen Xinya felt that she was overreacting, because the people fervently ignored Du Ruo to avoid bumping into her, though they did not offer to give her any help .
Those running away gradually escaped, wave after wave . There were not too many people left .
Wen Xinya deduced from the thickness of the smoke that the fire would soon spread towards them . She could hear the ruckus going on outside, as well as the sounds of a fire engine .
