66 Leaving

It was before 4 o’clock in the evening when the apartment was set on fire. Luo Yuan was getting ready to have his dinner when he smelled smoke. Without realizing what was happening yet, there was a loud explosion from downstairs.

The whole building shook, dust fell from the ceiling and thus the dishes on the table were covered with a layer of dust.

Both Huang Jiahui and Wang Shishi were so scared that their faces turned pale and their chopsticks fell on the floor.

“What is happening outside?” Huang Jiahui asked anxiously.

“Let me take a look!” Luo Yuan replied. Before he reached the staircase, he saw dense black smoke rising from a red flame downstairs. It seemed that the explosion was due to a gas pipe that burst.

Luo Yuan felt suffocated and coughed continuously. He quickly stepped back and shut the door.
