Stealing Your Heart

“Yanxi!”

Through the smoke, Zong Yanxi vaguely saw someone charging into the building.

Cough cough!

Another bout of harsh coughing shook her body.

Spotting the prone form of Zhuang Zijin on the floor, Tawan bent down to pick her up. Upon exiting the building, the taxi he came with was nowhere to be found. The driver had sped off the moment he realized there was trouble brewing.

Zong Yanxi was completely surrounded by flames. She was also close to falling unconscious from all the smoke she had inhaled. At this point, she was just struggling to hold on to consciousness, trying to see who had saved her grandmother.

“Yanxi!” Disregarding the danger, Tawan threw himself through the flames to get to her.
