Jiang Mingxi stared at the raging fire before her, and for some reason, such a vivid image appeared in her mind.

That's outrageous.

The child in the picture looks to be only three or four years old; he's a chubby little boy.

The chubby boy frantically pounded on the door, pressing his forehead against it, crying his heart out, each cry filled with despair and fear.

"Mommy! Mommy, please talk to me, Xixi is scared! Mommy! Mommy!"

She cried and screamed frantically for a while, but received no response from outside.

The chubby boy wiped away his tears fiercely.

"Don't be afraid, Xixi isn't afraid, Xixi is brave, Xixi is a brave baby, Xixi listens to Mommy! Xixi isn't afraid!"

After wiping away his tears, the chubby boy, his small voice trembling, muttered to himself as he turned around, grabbed another bathrobe hanging on the rack, and stood on a small stool in the bathroom in front of the sink.

Turn the tap on full blast.

Wet the bathrobe that you took off.

He dragged his wet bathrobe back to the bathroom door.

The little boy, trembling with each breath after his loud cry, stammered, " Xixi, don't be afraid! Xixi, be brave! Xixi will go find her mother!"

He placed his bathrobe on the doorknob, then used it as a cushion to turn the doorknob.

" Xixi isn't afraid of getting burned, she's not afraid!"

The moment her little hand touched it, the heat made her shiver.

He stood in front of the door, trembling, took a deep breath, and wiped away his tears. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you'll find Mommy when you get out! Xixi is the bravest!"

He finished speaking to himself.

The chubby boy gritted his teeth, his three- or four-year-old face filled with youthful courage, and rushed forward to grab the doorknob, which was still scalding hot even though it was covered by a wet bathrobe.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xixi Xixi okay!"

She muttered to herself, gritting her teeth, and gripped the hot doorknob tightly.

Click~

He opened the tightly closed bathroom door.

Jiang Mingxi squatted there blankly, wanting to know what was outside after the door opened, what the little fat boy's mother was doing, and why no one had come to the bathroom to look for the little fat boy.

But the moment the door opened, all the images suddenly stopped.

He subconsciously tried to keep the scene going, even recalling the chubby boy's appearance when he opened the door, but the interrupted scene simply stopped.

There's nothing left.

The screen disappeared.

Jiang Mingxi clicked her tongue.

Outrageous!

Was he possessed? How could such a thing suddenly appear in his mind?

The image disappeared, and Jiang Mingxi came to her senses.

Even a three- or four-year-old could run out like that, so there's no reason for him to panic, especially since this is a live TV show.

Calm down, calm down, Jiang Mingxi, you can do it!

A sentence floated through Jiang Mingxi's mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Just like the chubby little boy who had appeared in his mind earlier, he was encouraging himself.

Calming down, Jiang Mingxi covered his mouth and nose with the wet towel Bai Zheming had given him, and carefully searched the smoke-filled dressing room.

A moment later, a fire extinguisher was found behind a suitcase in the lower left corner of the dressing room.

[Holy crap! When Jiang Mingxi was squatting on the ground motionless just now, it scared me half to death. I thought he was dead.]

[???]

[Hahahaha! Dude, you're amazing!]

[To be honest, when Jiang Mingxi squatted down and didn't move, I thought he had given up. But after squatting for a while, he got up and started looking for things again.]

[Was he feeling unwell just now? Although it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, I could vaguely make out that Jiang Mingxi's complexion wasn't good when he got up again.]

[It's hard to say whether he's feeling unwell, but Song Lan is about to explode, repeatedly checking with the staff outside to confirm if it's safe inside.]

Does Jiang Mingxi even know how to use a fire extinguisher? Does he even have the brain to do it?

Sizzle~

As this comment scrolled by, Jiang Mingxi grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed it directly at the fire at the entrance to the dressing room.

[It really lives up to its name as a fire extinguisher; it actually puts out the fire! It's amazing!]

[Hahahaha!]

The fire at the entrance to the walk-in closet was extinguished by a fire extinguisher, and Jiang Mingxi rushed out of the closet.

The door to the bathroom across the street was tightly closed.

Jiang Mingxi raised her hand and patted him twice. " Teacher Bai? Teacher Bai, are you alright?"

The moment the bathroom door was banged on, Bai Zheming snapped back to reality.

He didn't know why, but as the door closed, a voice that had appeared countless times in his dreams suddenly rang in his ears.

"Brother, brother, save me! Xixi is scared! Brother! Brother, I can't find my mom! Brother!"

Since his parents and younger brother passed away, this phrase has repeatedly appeared in Bai Zheming's dreams.

It's been going on for so many years.

Especially in the first few years after the accident, he couldn't sleep at night. When he closed his eyes, he would hear the little chubby boy crying in his mind, crying for his brother and crying for his mother.

Things have gotten much better in recent years.

The chubby boy's voice is rarely heard anymore.

Bai Zheming often wondered if his younger brother had already been reincarnated, which was why he no longer appeared in his dreams or asked him for help.

" Teacher Bai? Teacher Bai, are you alright?"

Jiang Mingxi's voice came from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of banging on the bathroom door.

Bai Zheming snapped out of his daze, his heart easing slightly. He asked the person outside the door, "I can't open the door. Are you alright? Did you get burned?"

"No, I found a fire extinguisher." Jiang Mingxi reached out and turned the doorknob a few times. "This door is locked. Teacher Bai, step back a little, I'll try to kick it open."

[What outrageous statement! Jiang Mingxi is so petite!]

[Let's find the treasure chest first. I'm speechless. Why did he have to show off at a time like this? Bai Zheming would be released when the time was up; he wasn't really in danger.]

[I also think Jiang Mingxi's acting was too obvious here; she should have gone to find the treasure chest first.]

After saying that, Jiang Mingxi took a few steps back, twisted her wrist, and then jumped up, grabbing the door frame of the dressing room and hanging in mid-air, kicking the door of the bathroom across the way.

Bang!

He kicked it, and the bathroom door made a loud cracking sound.

Jiang Mingxi climbed down from the door frame of the dressing room, warmed her wrists on the ground, jumped up again, grabbed the door frame, and kicked it towards the door opposite.

Bang!

This time, he kicked the door open.

Bai Zheming dodged, and the door crashed to the ground.

Just as the door collapsed, a box fell from the sky.

Clang!

It landed on the door panel.

[Treasure Chest?]

[ha?]

The box suddenly fell, startling Bai Zheming. Jiang Mingxi happily jumped down from the door frame of the dressing room, took two steps forward, walked to the treasure chest, squatted down, and opened it.

Bai Zheming took a breath, stood there, and looked down at Jiang Mingxi, "You..."

"We found the treasure chest!" Jiang Mingxi suddenly looked up, her bright eyes meeting Bai Zheming's. His face was stained with black smoke, but he grinned.

Bai Zheming was momentarily dazed.

"Brother, brother, I found a treasure chest! Look, brother!"
