But no one saw or heard her. In a blink of an eye, she was dragged into the sea of fire. The raging fire burned her body. It hurt. Her body was burning bit by bit...
She shook her head, come late, save me... Mom, I feel so much pain...
Suddenly, all the flames disappeared, and all she could see was a pair of heavy eyes, staring at her like wolves in the dark night, making her whole body tremble uncontrollably, as if she was suddenly thrown into an ice cave from the sea of fire.
…
Pei Xiao sat up all of a sudden, her forehead was covered with sweat and her back was soaked. She unbuttoned the collar of her pajamas and wiped the sweat from her neck. Suddenly she froze.
She obviously slept with her clothes on, and she fell asleep as soon as she fell down. So this quilt and the pajamas she was wearing were...

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year. What a coincidence this year, it happens to be February 14th, which is the same day as Valentine's Day in Western countries.
But Pei Xiao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, obviously had no intention of caring about this.
She rubbed her red eyes and got up, and saw Xi Xiangdong in home clothes cooking something in the kitchen. He was still so handsome, even with a rice spoon in his hand, he looked like a handsome young man standing there, making people mistake him for him.
What kind of high-end cocktail reception club are we standing at?
Pei Xiao deliberately slowed down his steps, but he still heard him. Looking back, his handsome eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Are you up? Let's have something to eat."
Pei Xiao deliberately avoided her gaze: "I'm not hungry and I have no appetite."
The half-filled porridge he filled was frozen like that. After a while, he put the bowl down and smiled: "So what are your plans for today? Today is the first day of the new year."
He didn't dare to mention Valentine's Day to her. It was all a celebration anyway, and the reason was the same.
He waited for her answer with an almost flattering look. After all, Pei Xiao couldn't bear to let him down. After thinking about it, he said, "I want to go see my mother."
Xi Xiangdong was stunned for a moment and then realized: "It should be." He was about to say "I'll go with you" when the phone on the table rang. He frowned and picked it up unhappily.
When I saw the caller number, my face turned pale.
Pei Xiao didn't want to guess who called, so he went to wash up.
When Xi Xiangdong came back from the phone call, she was already dressed and about to go out.
Xi Xiangdong changed his mind and said, "I'll let Lao Wu see you off."
"No need, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year and the driver also celebrates the New Year."
"It's better to give it as a gift. It's not easy to take a taxi on this day."
What he said is true. The capital has traffic restrictions every now and then, and it coincides with the New Year's Day and Valentine's Day. It's even harder to get a taxi.
Lao Wu came very quickly. When he saw her coming out, he smiled and said, "Ms. Pei, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year to you too." Pei Xiao couldn't help but smile, his face was cold and stiff, he took out a prepared red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him.
Old Wu smiled happily and came over to open the car door for her. When they left the community, even the doorman greeted them: "Mrs. Xi, you went out to celebrate the New Year. Why didn't you come with Mr. Xi?"
Pei Xiao sat in the back of the car and nodded without responding. She and Xi Xiangdong had been in and out of the same house since they moved here. The doorman didn't care about entertainment gossip, but he had already regarded them as a couple.
Even Lao Wu said after hearing this: "Yes, we have to change our words this year. When do Miss Pei and Mr. Xi plan to do something good?"
Pei Xiao felt that people all over the world were extremely noisy today. She did not answer, but whispered: "Let's go to China World Trade Center first. I'll buy something."
Old Wu was stunned for a moment, and he was right. There was no reason to come to visit the New Year with nothing. She cried and shouted...
But no one saw or heard her. In a blink of an eye, she was dragged into the sea of fire. The raging fire burned her body. It hurt. Her body was burning bit by bit...
She shook her head, come late, save me... Mom, I feel so much pain...

Old Wu was stunned for a moment. That's right. There is no reason to visit New Year's greetings empty-handed.
