Walking through Fire for You 《他从火光中走来》by Er Dong Tu Zi 《耳东兔子》~ Chapter 12

Lin Lu Xiao returns the message and knocks on the table. He takes his glass and drinks it. Chen Mu glances at him and smiles.

“I always see that you are not the same.”

Lin Lu Xiao lowers his head and smiles, his fingers are knocking on the table: “No.”

Lin Lu Xiao has a small habit, the time he is impatient, he will put his hand on the table and knocks his fingers unconsciously.

Chen Mu looks at his hand and indeed there’s nothing different. Lin Lu Xiao is still Lin Lu Xiao. He always is tidy and stern. He always be silent when they are making obscene joke.

But the time you see him now, there’s something indescribable that is different. But no one really knows the detail.

The time Chen Mu examines him, Lin Lu Xiao’s phone on the table light sup.

Lin Lu Xiao glances it and sneers.

Chen Mu asks: “That little girl?”

Lin Lu Xiao glances at him. “In the past I didn’t know that you are quite gossipy.”

Chen Mu shrugs and declines to comment: “I’m just worried about you. You are almost thirty years old but you have no girlfriend. You might have illness if you keep restraining yourself?”

Lin Lu Xia raises his eyebrows and asks back: “You talk like you have a girlfriend? It will not be broken if you restrain yourself, how could you not know?”

“……”

Chen Mu is embarrassed: “Let’s talk about you.”

Lin Lu Xiao be silent and smokes his cigarette. He says nothing

Chen Mu says again: “You need to tell me about it, you can talk about this with me. Da Liu and Sun Yan Ming’s EQ even if you added them up, they don’t have high EQ like you.”

Lin Lu Xiao shows an expression to stop this joke: “You have a high EQ?”

But indeed he is much more reliable and reasonable than Da Liu and Sun Ming Yang.

“What is she sending you? Em?”

Lin Lu Xiao puts down his glasses and says expressionlessly: “She asked me out to eat dinner.”

Chen Mu nods: “You agreed?”

“I declined.”

“…….” Chen Mu says: “Great, you need to keep your distance at first, then what did she say?”

Lin Lu Xiao recalls the message and narrows his eyes.

“She said “Oh.”

“….”

Chen Mu is surprised and be silent for a while, then he says: “this girl is either has a great skill or she has no sincerity toward you. But if she didn’t have any sincerity toward you. How could she come to your house to celebrate your birthday, she should have——“

Chen Mu ponders and then he rubs his chin and examines Lin Lu Xiao. He says: “You should cannot win over her. You should just stay silent and while for a while.”

Lin Lu Xiao laughs lightly.

“You are thinking too much. There’s no possibility between me and her. I refuse her, I don’t give her a cold shoulder. I really don’t have time. Later on I will go to another city to train. Moreover I have no more days off.”

Chen Mu clicks his tongue and says: “You go training, you don’t have holiday? Great, Later on I will help you to tell your boss to let you have days off. I’ll write the reason to find a wife. I think he immediately will let his secretary to pack you up and send you off.”

Lin Lu Xiao holds his cup and swears: “B*st*rd.”

On other side, Nan Chu just receives the text that Lin Lu Xiao has no time. She is scrolling her Weibo. She reads through the comments.

“Nan Chu goes out of entertainment circle.”

When Nan Chu was sixteen years old, she did a movie together with Ran Dong Yang. The movie had a low production cost. It just got into the cinema two years later. That time they were remarkable though they were young. During the advertisement period, they were making gossips about Ran Dong Yang and Nan Chu to warm up the movie. After a while, there’s another gossip about Ran Dong Yan’s real girlfriend. The girlfriend was Yan Dai.

Several days later, Yan Dai’s best friend posted a video of Yan Dai crying because of the gossip between Ran Dong Yan and Nan Chu. It made Yan Dai’s fans attack Nan Chu. Someone sent something bloody and scary notes to Nan Chu’s house. That time Nan Chu even didn’t dare to come out because she felt someone is stalking her.

She started to unable to fall asleep. If she was asleep, she would have a nightmare. She was dreaming that she is talking nonstop but no one is listening to her.

Everyone is talking bad things about, they are swearing and scolding her.

That time Nan Chu was working with a manager and a team, that have no ability. The media started to talk bad thing about her too. It’s a mess.

It’s a bad year for her. She had no advertisement project, she had no offer to do the movie.

For the ending of the problem ——

Ran Dong Yang published a statement, that he has broken up with Yan Dai.

Nan Chu was attacked on all sides, she became the target. Although she knows that they are nothing between them.

Because of that scandal, for three years, she has a bad image.

Before while she was waiting for Lin Lu Xiao’s reply, she was so bored so she opened her Wei Bo. She rarely opens her Weibo. She is impressed of her anti-fans remark.

At first Nan Chu thought that she would never meet Lin Lu Xiao again for some time, but after a while, they meet each other.

That day Nan Chu is in Bei Xun City orphanage. Someone comes inside and says to the head of the orphanage: “There’s a kid. His head is stuck at the iron railing at the eighth floor.”

Nan Chu follows the head of the orphanage to take a look. A chubby boy stands near the railing gate, his head is stuck on the iron railing. There’re few kids around that watching him. All of them are crying so hard.

Nan Chu remembers that little boy. He is so chubby. He is strong and good-natured boy. He is so lively. His name is San Bao. She is so pale.

Nan Chu kneels down and takes a look at him. Nan Chu tries to help him.

San Bao just cries and looks at her with his teary eyes. “Jie Jie, will I be like this forever?”

Nan Chu lowers her head and says: “Maybe.”

San Bao cries even harder.

Nan Chu just wants to advise him to not do reckless things anymore.

At last someone lifts her sleeve and picks her up. He says deeply: “Who let you scare a little boy?”

Nan Chu turns her head.

Lin Lu Xiao is standing there with his dark green fire-fighting suit. He is calm.

It’s too coincidental.

Nan Chu hasn’t said anything yet. Lin Lu Xiao just says: “Stand over there, don’t block us.”

Then he just ignores her. Lin Lu Xiao is with two others firefighters. He kneels down to examine the iron railing and boy. Then he says to his partners: “Bring the tool. Just cut this one. Find someone to guard outside. To prevent anything happen.”

Nan Chu leans on the wall and looks at how serious he is.

Indeed a serious man is too enchanting.

Several people are discussing for a while.

Lin Lu Xiao and his team handle the situation skillfully.

When San Bao is rescued, Lin Lu Xiao stands up. Then someone stands in front of him. He is watching her: “What do you want?”

That woman just smiles. Today she doesn’t wear any makeup. She extends her hand and then tidies her sleeve. “Dui Zhang (leader), it’s askew.”

“……….”
