The Rest Of My Life Is For You

The sudden news woke Nian Xiaomu up immediately.

She jumped out of bed, unable to believe what she heard. “What did you say? What happened?”

The person at the other end of the phone continued to say something.

After a while, Nian Xiaomu hung up and Yu Yuehan sat up. Looking at her pale face, he reached out his hands to pat her head and asked, “What happened, you look horrified, aren’t I here?”

Usually, if Nian Xiaomu were to hear his egoistic comments, she would have laughed at him for being full of himself.

However today, she put her phone at the side, looked up and answered with an empty voice. “I’ve just got news that the clothing factory caught fire…”

Fire.

As long as the word ‘Fire’ flashed across Nian Xiaomu’s mind, she would shiver uncontrollably.

That was a fear deeply entrenched in her memories.

When she snapped back to her senses, she got out of her bed and went to change.

However, when she reached the cupboard, her legs gave way. She held onto the cupboard tightly and had no strength to open the door.

Yu Yuehan hugged her from the back and held her tightly in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulders as he could see that she was scared, he spoke gently with his lips touching her ears.

“Nian Xiaomu, everything is over. I will always be with you from now on.

“I will never let you experience those horrifying things alone again.”

Yu Yuehan’s comfort worked and Nian Xiaomu calmed down and quickly packed up to leave for the clothing factory.

By the time they got there, the fire had been extinguished but half of the clothing factory had been ruined.

Executive Assistant Yang had information about the situation earlier. He stood at the side and reported, “The fire started burning in the middle of the night, the reason is yet to be found. Since the clothing factory contained a large amount of cloth and most of the materials are easily flammable, they started burning immediately after getting into contact with the fire. The fire was huge. Even though it was discovered immediately, the clothing factory still suffered, on the bright side there were no deaths…”

Before Executive Assistant Yang could finish, Nian Xiaomu saw Manager Hong.

He stood in front of the entrance of the clothing factory, painstakingly crying as he looked at the debris.

Many people around him tried to talk him out.

Fire engines, ambulance, casualties, and the ruined factory.

Even at such a state, there was no commotion at the scene, only low cries.

The workers of the factory gathered in the front and looked at the place they viewed as ‘home’ now burnt to ashes. They were wailing like Manager Hong.

Quite a number of them were injured in the fire.

They were being treated by the ambulance at the side.

Noticing Nian Xiaomu’s gaze, Executive Assistant Yang sighed and said, “The workers that stayed behind discovered the fire. They are all old workers with strong sentiments towards the factory. They took the initiative to attempt to extinguish the fire before the fire engine arrived. Quite a few of them got burnt by the fire as they could not bear to let the factory burn down and tried to save the clothing…”

Executive Assistant Yang could not bear to continue.

Most of the clothes were already ruined. Even if they were brought out, they could no longer be used.

It was such a pity. The workers who could only look at their most precious items and their beloved homeland burn into ashes.

What was more devastating than not being able to change anything even if they risked their own life?
