Ruan Yesheng got out of the taxi and the scorching sunlight made her raise her hand to cover her eyebrows. Her fingers were slender, and her nails were neatly trimmed, sparkling and translucent. She also wore an old silver watch on her slender wrist that didn't quite fit her.

The driver handed over her change and kept looking at her. Earlier in the car, he looked at her several times from the rearview mirror, hesitating.

Ruan Yesheng didn't care, she took the money and said thank you and was about to leave. The driver hurriedly called her: "Wait, miss."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Yesheng turned her head, her slightly curly long hair casually draped over her shoulders.

She is too beautiful, and her figure is too enchanting.

She also has a pair of particularly attractive eyes. When looking at people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's as if she has grabbed a feather tip and tickled people's heart, causing their soul to soften and disperse, but they cannot be obtained.

Back then, a senior sister with a poisonous mouth said that her ethereal looks are a disaster, and she will not be lucky for a few years if she relies on her face to make a living.

Now she really hit the spot.

The driver heard her foreign accent and murmured, "I'm sorry, I know it's rude. Have you ever appeared on TV or published a book? I saw a few photos in one of my daughter's books that looked very similar to you. She really likes it. Are you the big star in that book?"

If so, he probably wants to ask for a few autographs to coax her precious daughter.

Ruan Yesheng smiled and said, "You're mistaken, I'm not her, I don't have that kind of luck."

The driver was a bit embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." It makes sense. Nowadays, there are no big celebrities who come out and take a taxi, they all have dedicated cars.

The taxi couldn't stay for long, so the driver drove away quickly.

Ruan Yesheng opened her parasol and walked quickly into the hotel building. She called Feng Tangtang in the lobby, but Feng Tangtang didn't answer the phone after it rang for a long time.

She dialed several times in a row but it was still the same.

Ruan Yesheng put away her mobile phone and glanced at the giant advertising sign on the first floor of the hotel. On the fourteenth floor, a new launch event of a luxury jewelry brand was being held.

As the newly signed ambassador, Xi Mo's photo was naturally printed on it.

Xi Mo is now so popular that she is the goddess in the hearts of countless people.

Many young people holding flowers and gifts probably couldn't make it up, wandered around on the first floor, some of them have been taking photos with Xi Mo's billboard, or taking selfies.

Ruan Yesheng looked at Xi Mo's photo and couldn't take her eyes off it.

Xi Mo, who had been magnified countless times, was looking back at Ruan Yesheng from above. The bright lights of the hotel are shining on her photo, her eyebrows, her hair flowing with brilliance, every part is extremely clear and beautiful.

Even the diamond necklace she was endorsing seems to be overshadowed by her slender neck.

She is so dazzling, like the moon out of reach.

As for her, she could only look in such a humble way.

Only at her photo.

Feng Tangtang's call finally came, and she was in a hurry: "I'm sorry, Ruanruan, I was too busy and didn't hear your call before, have you arrived?"

"It's okay, I'm on the first floor of the hotel." Ruan Yesheng smiled: "You're so busy, I'll come up to you to get that thing, but judging by the situation, I probably won't be able to get in."

Feng Tangtang spoke a bit out of breath: "There are too many people, and the security guards have already stopped people from entering. I'll contact the security guards and tell them to let you in. Go to the lounge of 1437 and wait for me, there’s no one there, and the thing is still in my bag, I’ll come over as soon as I’m free.”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ruan Yesheng said.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Tangtang lowered her voice and said, "Ruanruan, you really don't blame me for the matter with Sister Xi, do you?"

These days, she has been apologizing to Ruan Yesheng.

Ruan Yesheng deliberately snorted, "Why are you still grinding and chirping so much? You keep mentioning this to me every day or two. You know I don't like her, right?"

"No, it's not that."

"It's all right, you deserve a better choice if you go to a higher place." Ruan Yesheng's voice softened, as if relieved: "Follow her and work hard."

"Mm." Feng Tangtang felt relieved, and hung up the phone: "Come up, see you later. Bye."

Ruan Yesheng took the elevator to the fourteenth floor, and the security guard let her pass.

The press conference venue has been temporarily closed, and there are several circles of people outside. Just by hearing the sound, one can tell that there must be a crowd of people inside. It is very lively, and many reporters are flocking there.

Ruan Yesheng ignored the crowd and walked towards the lounge in 1437. 1437 was remote, and indeed no one came over. Ruan Yesheng waited for about twenty minutes, but Feng Tangtang hadn't appeared yet.

Soon, she suddenly felt a few sudden vibrations on the ground, as if something had exploded.

At the same time, the floor alarm sounded loudly, sharp and piercing.

Ruan Yesheng immediately stood up, the trembling sound on the ground becoming more and more obvious, she couldn't stand after several attempts.

Earthquake?

This is the first thought that crossed Ruan Yesheng's mind.

She opened the door and ran out quickly, and there was a wave of heat upfront. There were panicked people running around everywhere in front of her, and thick smoke surrounded her from far and near.

Ruan Yesheng ran towards the safety stairs along the safety exit sign without hesitation.

She has always been good at sports and dancing, she is very flexible and agile, and she is very close to the stairs, so she was lucky to run ahead.

A large number of people followed, everyone seemed to be crazy, with hideous faces as they run, and many people were pushed down in the chaos, and even trampled to death.

There are many reporters among them, and there are many celebrities who can be on the stage, but at this juncture, no one cares who is a star, and they are all crowded in order to survive.

Ruan Yesheng ran out a few steps only to suddenly turn back.

The phone rang, Ruan Yesheng avoided the crowds and ran against the wall while answering the phone: "Tangtang!"

Feng Tangtang was about to cry and said, "Oh my god, Ruanruan. Are you still there? Hurry up and get down! The 13th floor below exploded and caught fire, and it quickly climbed to the 14th floor. Get down quickly, don't take the elevator."

"Where are you?!" Ruan Yesheng said.

"I'm outside the hotel! Sister Xi asked me to buy the drink she wanted, and I came down. I didn't know that the 13th floor caught fire! Stop talking, come down quickly!"

The signal became unstable until it disappeared totally. Ruan Yesheng had no choice. She looked in the crowd for a while, but she didn't see Xi Mo's shadow.

With so many security guards around Xi Mo, she probably would have been escorted downstairs long ago, right?

Ruan Yesheng was upset, the event venue was already filled with smoke, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

She couldn't go any further, so she had to run again towards the safety stairs.

The heat wave is like a fiery poisonous tongue, chasing after her relentlessly.  Ruan Yesheng saw a bathroom nearby, and remembered that she had filmed a public service advertisement about fire a long time ago, which had detailed how to escape correctly in case of fire.

From the beginning, the safety stairs ought to be overcrowded due to the flow of the crowd running, and it is easy to be trampled to death in the past. A building of this top scale will definitely be equipped with several safety stairs. Ruan Yesheng rushed into the bathroom, ready to get wet then escape from another staircase.

But as soon as she entered, she was stunned.

Xi Mo's luxurious dress and long skirt were soaked through, dripping with water. For the sake of ease of movement, she tore off most of the long skirt herself, revealing her two long white legs. Her long hair was also wet, and her high heels were discarded with only a pair of bare jade-like feet, giving her a look of being about to leave in a hurry, making her look as awkward as ever.

Ruan Yesheng: "..."

Xi Mo: "..."

A swan in distress is still a swan.

Even so, Xi Mo, the noble and glamorous goddess, is still there.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ruan Yesheng coldly.

Ruan Yesheng thought haha, she's going to die but she didn't forget to pretend. She didn't speak, and turned on the faucet to pour water on herself.

Xi Mo was clearly wet enough to run out, but she didn't move, as if she was waiting for Ruan Yesheng.

After Ruan Yesheng poured the water three times, she shouted at her: "Run! Are you going to stay here to eat hot pot! Get a grip!"

Xi Mo's face darkened.

Ruan Yesheng grabbed her hand and was about to run outside, but there were a few strange noises outside.

Crack.

Crack.

It sounded like someone's bones have been deformed or like something is grinding its teeth.

At the same time, an indescribable smell floated in, mixed with the burnt breath, it was particularly weird.

Xi Mo grabbed Ruan Yesheng, her eyes drifted to the bottom of the bathroom door.

Ruan Yesheng knew what she meant, and she saw it herself, there was something outside, a dark shadow under the crack of the door.

With a bang, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open and flew in. Ruan Yesheng subconsciously hugged Xi Mo and lay down, with her back facing out, she couldn't see anything, only knowing that the door slammed down on her.

Something ran in frantically, rushing towards her.

There seemed to be another footstep following, faster than the previous one.

A heat wave ensues.

Ruan Yesheng felt like she was going crazy and tried to open her eyes for a long time, but she couldn't. Her ears seemed to be filled with hot magma, as if her eardrums had been torn open and she couldn't hear anything. She could only vaguely feel her heartbeat and Xi Mo underneath.

Thump, thump, thump.

One by one, slowly amplified in her ears.

The footsteps came towards her and Xi Mo.

Xi Mo was motionless in her arms and had already lost consciousness.

Ruan Yesheng also fainted.

At first I'm kinda hesitant to pick this up, first, there's already a translator for this, second this already have a huge following, third this was published 2014 but it's still ongoing plus Author has two other ongoing stories both more than a decade old, that kinda...rang my alarm bells, I don't want to get invested on something that is not sure to finish. But in the end I got influenced by good reviews, so hopefully this journey would be fun.
