Chapter 108 Ren Tangyi

"How are you?"

The firefighter asked Cai Yi in a hoarse voice. He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he slumped to the ground, his back pressed tightly against the fire truck that had just been through the raging fire.

Caiyi, standing to the side, was equally exhausted. She opened her mouth to answer, but her throat felt dry and painful, as if it had been roasted by fire, and she couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, she was completely unable to speak; overwork and dehydration had caused her voice to become completely hoarse.

Passersby who witnessed this scene rushed forward.

Some people handed out water cups, carefully bringing the cool water to the firefighters' lips; others bought bread, fruit and other food, and kept stuffing it into their hands.

Everyone's face was filled with gratitude, and they kept saying thank you.

These simple yet sincere words were like a warm spring breeze caressing the already exhausted bodies of the firefighters.

The firefighters' simple and unadorned faces revealed shy yet sincere smiles, as radiant and moving as flowers blooming in spring.

Facing the enthusiastic and curious people around them, they nodded slightly with a hint of restraint, responding to everyone in the most simple and sincere way.

Standing next to Caiyi was a middle-aged woman who seemed a bit talkative.

The woman was dressed in simple clothes, and her face was beaming with a kind and gentle smile.

She bent down slightly, carefully examining Cai Yi with concern and tenderness in her eyes, and said softly, "Young lady, you look even younger than my child!" Then she sighed and continued, "Oh dear, it's really tough on you young people, having to face such a terrifying fire..."

As she spoke, the woman took out a crumpled tissue from her pocket and gently wiped Caiyi's slightly tired face.

After some careful tidying up, Caiyi, which was originally in a mess, instantly became clean and tidy.

Then, the woman picked up a glass of warm water, carefully brought it to Caiyi's lips, and gently poured the water into her mouth.

Caiyi quietly observed the kind and warm-hearted old lady in front of him and the other kind-hearted people around him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, as if all her weariness and hardship had vanished in that moment.

Caiyi was not harmed in any way, but he appeared somewhat weak and powerless due to exhaustion.

After a period of rest and recuperation, her health gradually returned to normal. So, she decided to say goodbye to the firefighters and other kind people.

Just then, the fire captain stepped forward, looked at Cai Yi, and sincerely invited him, saying, "Someone like you who can avoid flames and has special abilities is someone our fire brigade has been dreaming of."

Would you be interested in joining our team?

Faced with such an enticing offer, Caiyi couldn't help but feel a surge of impulse. After all, she couldn't go home right now, so being a firefighter seemed like a good option.

However, reason told her that she couldn't agree so easily.

After all, she is still using the identity of Cheng Xin, and the divorce with Baili Tu has not yet been completely resolved.

If that deranged man suddenly goes berserk and causes trouble, it could bring unnecessary trouble or even danger to these firefighters.

Thinking of this, Caiyi could only reluctantly and politely decline the captain's offer.

Then, Caiyi slowly turned and left, her steps light but slightly tired.

She walked alone to a slightly farther place, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the hotel.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to take a hot bath, then lie comfortably in bed and have a good night's sleep.

The day's adventures and exhaustion had left her feeling completely drained.

After washing up, Caiyi didn't even want to blow-dry her hair. She turned on the TV and tuned to the news broadcast, where the first thing she saw was the fire in the residential building complex today.

Her face was blurred out, with only her striking blonde hair standing out.

Caiyi smiled slightly, reached out and lay down on the bed, picked up a pillow to cover his head, and began to sleep.

Jingle Bell--

Cai Yi answered the phone in a state of agitation, but the moment he saw the number, he snapped out of his daze.

It was the fire captain whose phone number I exchanged with before he left yesterday.

Caiyi: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Fire chief: "A rescuer wants to see you and thank you."

Caiyi: "No, you should be thanking us."

The fire captain coughed twice and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Go see her, she'll sponsor us ten million."

Caiyi readily agreed: "Okay, I'll go."

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Caiyi went straight to the hospital.

"Are you crazy or am I hallucinating?"

Caiyi rubbed his ears in disbelief, full of suspicion, wondering to himself if he was really hallucinating.

"I've never met you before, and you actually want me to raise your child?" Caiyi stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief.

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell this child?"

Caiyi's voice unconsciously rose eight octaves, carrying a hint of annoyance and questioning.

The woman in front of me, named Ren Tangyi, is the mother of the mother and child that Cai Yi rescued from the fire.

At that moment, she held the child tightly in her arms, a gentle smile on her face.

She reached out and gently teased the child, speaking slowly and calmly: "I have a terminal illness, late-stage cancer, and I don't have much time left."

Cai Yi did not inquire about the child's father or his family, because judging from Ren Tangyi's willingness to entrust her child to a complete stranger, there must be no trustworthy person in her family.

Ren Tangyi seemed unaware of Cai Yi's inner thoughts. Seeing that he remained silent, she was somewhat surprised. She slowly raised her head, stared at Cai Yi, and asked softly, "Why don't you ask me why I didn't give the child to his father to raise?"

Cai Yi paused for a moment, then said bluntly, "Since you can entrust your child to a stranger like me to raise, it's obvious that the child's father is no good either."

Ren Tangyi paused slightly, then chuckled, "Yes, not a good thing..."

“You are very smart, and I am even more willing to entrust my child to you.”

Caiyi furrowed his slender, willow-leaf-like eyebrows and said with displeasure, "I have never raised a child before. If this child stays with me, he might be even more miserable than if he stayed with his father."
