Blazing Armor

The daily routine of a fire station consists of training. Except for responding to alarms and special situations, typically, the team trains for several hours every day. After all, before the fire services reform, they were part of the paramilitary police force. Even after the reform, the military-style management continues.MhqlaFLTWRsICUMcGZxItnIOWETrdP

However, lately, it’s been extremely hot, so Ren Yi adjusted the training schedule to avoid the periods of the strongest sunlight, but the soldiers were still drenched in sweat.XsGuqSLNanzIgKYCENaQzJwkJRNswZ

While they were practicing laying out fire hoses, a soldier standing guard shouted across the training ground, “Captain Ren, someone’s here to see you!”IqfbBWyJREPvzznanQKlDjTkcmLfGN

“Let them in.” Ren Yi squinted towards the door.zCIeelwSvhUYZUHtoOzqhsfzsnXQiE

From a distance, he saw a slender girl carrying a large bouquet of flowers and two bags, walking briskly toward them. In the sunlight, her fair skin seemed to glow, her lively ponytail swinging with each step. She exuded youth and beauty, catching everyone’s attention.TLgdVgoxQZEnOxIoqAscSMzWFVXOjx

“They’re really just cookies.” Gong Feilan pulled out some cookies to show him. “See?”lDqCdvpUgbScansgIOLdPLKfgQyVBt

“Alright, thank you.” Ren Yi laughed. After all, when they respond to emergencies, grateful citizens often come to thank them with gifts. Sometimes, it’s hard to refuse. Apart from banners and flowers, they occasionally accept food. “Be more careful when you’re out and about in the future, and try to learn some disaster self-rescue techniques too.”lIZJwsjHPNlBGWXySXQZLnPejFVMMx

All these years at the fire station, Ren Yi had encountered several young women confessing their love after a rescue, and there were always a few matchmakers—either the local aunties or uncles—introducing potential partners. But a middle school student? That was definitely a first.SUiJfTZFCjCSiEKpkTbIJmoCAGAEpn

Ren Yi hesitated. He could tell this conversation was heading in a very inappropriate direction, but he wasn’t used to lying. Between telling a lie or not, he only hesitated for a second or two, and Gong Feilan, seeing this, excitedly said, “You don’t! Your expression says it all!”yUSCEYMwoDntnkrajMUTQmwgDiTwaY

“Hold on,” Ren Yi interrupted with a smile. “Listen, kid. When you’re in danger, it’s easy to feel a sense of affection for the person who rescues you. I’ve seen this happen many times. In psychology, there’s even a term for it—it’s called the ‘suspension bridge effect.’ Gratitude and romantic feelings are two different things. You’re confusing them.”odtMnhYHIukCJjWPKGmKtAQzfBTFQA

“No, I’m not,” Gong Feilan tilted her chin up, “If someone can’t even tell what they like, then they might as well be a pig.” She glanced at his tall frame and handsome face, secretly feeling pleased. “And besides, if you weren’t so tall and good-looking, I wouldn’t just like anyone, you know?

At first, Ren Yi hoped that Gong Feilan was just a young girl caught up in a fleeting crush. But when she came to visit him at the station for the fourth time, he finally realized that things were getting troublesome.mDvucefkMkcLBLnuyfUsBUGmasufGW

ojXQbgBqqzPEabI

Even though it wasn’t really his fault, the problem was that Gong Feilan was still a minor, and even the instructor had pulled him aside for a talk, telling him to minimize the situation’s impact.nEbEibNUyrcHUDavFWaOVQxIVTcopL

He considered saying something more serious to her, but every time he saw Gong Feilan’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. So, he decided to ask a buddy at the police station to help him look up her parents’ contact information—solve the problem at its root.ihlTnogXFAPVzEQIeAnUGGaklQKeEo

That afternoon, he received a call from the housekeeper, saying that his father’s stomach wasn’t doing well and that he had vomited. Ren Yi planned to head home.GSRviQFuTUwgccSeMtEQwJKMDtfaCz

He only had 45 days of leave per year, and regulations didn’t allow him to leave his post without permission. But because of his father’s special condition, the division gave him special consideration. Besides, his home was right across from the fire station, so it wouldn’t interfere with emergency calls. As a result, he was allowed to drop by the house when needed.qEeWNwLCpVucIsrDwnWHZOddpWdffY

He found Vice Captain Gao Ge in the cafeteria to hand over his duties. As soon as Sun Dingyi saw him, he started teasing, “Well, well, if it isn’t our station’s number one heartthrob.

Their Phoenix Fire Unit was one of the earliest fire stations established after the founding of the country. Back then, land prices in Tianqi hadn’t gone crazy yet, and right across from the station was the Firefighters’ Family Housing Compound. Ren Yi was born and raised there, eventually following in his father’s footsteps. His mother had vehemently opposed him becoming a firefighter, but here he was.VyJDOUjqDDrGXgVgypuVsJECFmGZYm

XqHuOihKHjVSNYi

Within a few minutes of walking, he had entered the large courtyard. The residential area was quite old, and all the facilities were outdated. Most people who could afford to improve their housing had already moved away. However, due to its prime location, a majority of the apartments were rented to office workers. Since it wasn’t the time for people to return from work yet, the neighborhood was rather quiet.moyPfUSPbyESSMHiPosPRJTIiKVMsf

fswjZeYCMlSbDRu

By the time he reached the entrance of his apartment building, dusk was falling, and the stairwell was pitch black. He vaguely saw someone inside, and upon getting closer, he realized it was a tall, well-built man. The man had long, straight legs that stretched out his suit pants without a single crease. His waist was flat and lean, his shoulders broad, and his chest wide. His shiny dark shoes and crisp white shirt seemed immaculate. The man was even wearing pure white gloves and a matching mask. If he had been wearing a white lab coat, you’d think he was either heading into surgery or a photoshoot. For someone like this to appear at the entrance of such an old building was, to say the least, extremely odd.sFDBNRQHGcCEpZqpIGVkmhAXqxSsEv

Setting aside the impeccable physique, the man’s face, mostly covered by the mask, still showed a pair of deep, strikingly beautiful eyes, indicating that he was likely very handsome.

“Ren Yi, is it?” The man finally spoke, and his voice was just as cold and arrogant as his demeanor, but oddly pleasant to the ear, like wind passing through an ancient temple—ethereal and solemn. His voice could only be described as stately and elegant.fwvQtGzpxkqMEYYBVyGzYBOCAyZIvQ

In the 38-degree heat, a cold sweat broke out on his back. He stared into Gong Yingxian’s icy eyes and, seeing this man’s peculiar demeanor, started to think he might not be mentally stable.
