Chapter 1180: Nian Xi Jumped onto His Back
Even if there was no anti-burglar screen, they still wouldn’t be able to jump out the window. The lab was on the ninth floor. They would die for sure if they jumped.
Sadly, she turned to Jiang Yuning, who was next to her. The fire added a red glow to his beautiful face. He was such an outstanding guy—and one of the top scientists in the country. And he about to die in that small lab, because of her.
Had she known this would happen, she would never have become friends with him.
“I’m so sorry for dragging you into this,” Nian Xi said with a trembling voice, holding his hands tightly.
“Move!” Jiang Yuning pushed her away with a serious look, then took out a lighter-like thing from his pocket. With that small tool, he cut open the anti-burglar screen in a few seconds.
Then he unstrapped his belt, tied one end of it on the anti-burglar window and pulled out a very thin thread from the belt. He tied the thread on his waist, then turned and said to Nian Xi, “Lie on my back. We’ll go down slowly.”
Nian Xi was astounded. “With, with this thread?”
“This is nanometer wire.” Jiang Yuning wrapped the wire around himself and then said to her, “b.u.t.ton up your s.h.i.+rt.”
Under that circ.u.mstance, Nian Xi had no choice but to follow every word the scientist said.
She found it interesting. Normally, he always followed her instructions, but when he gave his orders, she automatically listened to him.
While she was b.u.t.toning up her s.h.i.+rt, Jiang Yuning took out a bottle of liquid and sprayed it on his back. Then, he said to her anxiously, “Come on, get on my back.”
Nian Xi had no time to think. She jumped onto his back and found herself sticking to him.
“What did you put on your back?”
“The superglue I invented. Not even a truck can separate us now,” Jiang Yuning said while crawling out the window.
Suddenly the curtain caught fire. Nian Xi was hanging outside the window. She had received all kinds of training when she was in school, but at the moment, there was no safety gear on her at all. She was even shaking with fear.
“Hurry… hurry up, your spider thread is on fire.”
“It’s nanometer wire, not spider thread. ” Jiang Yuning corrected her seriously.
Nian Xi almost collapsed. “This isn’t the time to argue over that. Just get me down.”
Jiang Yuning held the wire, stepped on the wall, moved slowly downward.
“The fire can’t break it. It’s fireproof and waterproof.”
“I’m impressed. If I survive this, you’ve got to get me some of that thread.” Nian Xi held his neck tightly.
Jiang Yuning’s face had reddened entirely. The wire wrapped on one of his hands. It was super thin and his hand started bleeding once he moved a slight distance downward.
“Your hand…” Nian Xi saw his blood. She clearly understood that the wire would certainly break his skin, as it needed to hold the weight of two adults.
His waist must be in severe pain too.
Suddenly, she figured out why he tied the wire on himself but used the superglue on her. He didn’t want her to get hurt.
She felt so complicated at that moment. She realized how shallow she was before. She always wanted a tall and strong boyfriend, and never liked the slim ones like Jiang Yuning. She admired him but didn’t want a boyfriend like him.
But now, she discovered that he was so much stronger than she thought.
He didn’t have strong muscles, yet he once defeated a st.u.r.dy guy in the police station very easily. And now he had saved her from the fire on the ninth floor.
