Chapter 12 Chapter 10 Rescue and Love

An urgent alarm bell sounded.He Zisheng woke up first, and there was a misty chaos outside the window, obviously there was still some time before dawn.Yu Manjiang jumped up and sat up habitually, his drunkenness disappeared, and he was full of energy. He asked He Zisheng: "Where is the fire alarm?" He Zisheng couldn't answer.Turning his head to look at the electronic clock on the wall, the hands were at 4:45. Sun Mingjie rushed into the brigade headquarters in a hurry, "Are you both here? Hurry up, a traffic accident occurred at the 118th kilometer of the Jiangjing Expressway, and a large amount of leakage occurred from a storage tank truck!"

He Zisheng lifted his command uniform and put it on his body, and hurriedly asked, "What is stored in the storage tank?" "The specific situation is unknown. The detachment issued an order, and our special service squadron will lead the battle!" Sun Mingjie was nervous and excited to meet the challenge. Hearing this, He Zisheng became even more excited, and raised his voice seven degrees: "Then what are you waiting for? Assemble, let's go right away!" Immediately, the two rushed out one after the other. "Hey! Why are you two running so fast? Hurry up and find me a set of equipment!" Yu Manjiang, who was thrown off, shouted dissatisfiedly behind them.

After nearly an hour's drive, the special service squadron arrived at the scene of the traffic accident.Also arriving at the same time was the detachment leader Jiang Yun, deputy mayor Deng of the municipal government in charge of security work, and deputy director Zhu of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. A rescue headquarters was established on the spot. This is a car accident.There was a light rain last night, and the ground was slippery. The first passenger car was traveling too fast, lost control and overturned on the road. The 4 cars following it immediately had a "domino" effect and collided rear-end.

The Guangming Road Squadron closest to the expressway has arrived under the leadership of Li Dada and is doing preliminary on-site reconnaissance and disposal. Jiang Yun first asked about the situation at the scene. Li Dada reported: Among the five vehicles that collided at the accident scene, No. 1 was a passenger car, the driver died, and 20 of the more than 30 passengers had been evacuated and rescued. The body was severely deformed by the collision, and more than 10 people were still stuck in the car, and it was difficult to rescue them for a while; No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 were all trucks, and all the drivers and co-drivers in No. 2 and No. 5 cars died. No. 3 The driver of the car escaped by jumping out of the window and was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital; the worst thing was car No. 4, the driver and escort of the tank car died on the spot, but the tank was knocked open a length of 30cm, There is a 17cm wide gap, and the liquid in the tank leaks a lot.

Jiang Yun asked: "What is the liquid in the tank? Have you found it?" Li Dada replied: "I have carefully inspected the tank body. Except for the word 'explosion' on the body, there is no product name mark. At present...the type of dangerous goods cannot be determined." Jiang Yun summoned Yu Manjiang, He Zisheng, Sun Mingjie and others to the on-site headquarters to discuss countermeasures. After intense discussions, the on-site headquarters reached three consensuses: first, under the premise that the product name and physical and chemical properties of dangerous goods cannot be determined, all commanders and fighters must strengthen personal protection and wear air respirators to avoid accidental inhalation of poisonous gas; second, blockade immediately On the expressway, considering that the leaked items may be flammable and explosive chemical hazards, in order to prevent explosions in case of fire, a water gun was quickly used to dilute the leaked items, and the source of fire was prohibited at the same time; third, quickly identify the leaked items kind of.

The headquarters made a division of labor: the special service squadron was responsible for the search and rescue mission, with two combat teams led by He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie respectively, using special service equipment to rescue the trapped people in the No. Vigilance; Yu Manjiang is responsible for identifying the leak. Immediately distributed the equipment, He Zisheng handed over the toxic gas detector to Yu Manjiang, and then rushed to the scene of the car accident with the iron collar.Yu Manjiang hurriedly pulled him towards him, and asked in a daze: "The upper half of this poisonous gas detector looks like an electronic watch, and the lower half looks like a lamp holder. Does it work?"

He Zisheng briefly explained the method of use in a few sentences, and while running to the scene, he turned around and added: "This thing is officially opened today. Whether the combination of modernization and actual combat is effective or not will have to be tested by you, Chief of Staff." Yu Manjiang looked around: "Where is there a landline, I have to call Mr. Ren." The overturned large truck was lying on the side of the road. On a starless night, the road was dark like a paddy field. The lights of the police cars and fire engines shone over, and the "paddy field" was littered with luggage and clothes strewn all over the floor. shattered glass.

He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie bent down and turned on the bright flashlight to shine into the car. The first thing that jumped into their eyes was a middle-aged woman whose head was bleeding. Open eyes exude a strong desire to survive.Other conscious passengers made voices one after another, and some shouted in a weak voice: "Help, help..." He Zisheng raised his voice and comforted: "Passengers, we are firefighters, and we are here to rescue you. Please trust us, we will be able to rescue you. Now, everyone, don't get too excited, don't shout loudly, and pay attention to conserving your energy."

After careful reconnaissance, He Zisheng discovered that the most critical factor affecting the rescue was the car door.The car door could no longer be opened due to extrusion and deformation. The people who were rescued in the early stage were all sitting by the window or their bodies were not stuck. At present, the people trapped in the car are basically unable to move independently. To rescue the trapped people, the rescue channel must be opened! He said to Sun Mingjie: "Time is life. There are seriously wounded people inside. They are bleeding too much and cannot survive for too long. We have to shorten the rescue time. Rescue is carried out from two positions at the same time. You, lead 4 fighters from the back of the car." Be careful not to cause secondary injury to the injured; I led 4 combatants to rescue from the front door."

Sun Mingjie nodded and started to act immediately.He was progressing smoothly. After cutting the glass window, with a cheer, a middle-aged man with minor injuries and a slightly stuck foot was successfully rescued. Zhanlu, who was in He Zisheng's group, asked, "Squadron leader, how do you break down the door?" He Zisheng knocked on the car door first, then felt the thickness, and said decisively: "Pry first and then cut. Put on the iron collar and start the hydraulic shear!" The 1-meter-long fire iron collar was handed to He Zisheng. A soldier illuminated it with a strong flashlight. He Zisheng took off the air respirator, looked at the seam of the car door, inserted it, and pried it hard!

Veins popped out on He Zisheng's forehead, but the car door remained motionless. After Sun Mingjie's team rescued the three injured, the rescue at the rear of the car was blocked, so they could only hope to open the car door. For the convenience and speed of rescue, he also took off the air respirator and came to help. Hold on to the iron collar. "one two three!" No effect. He Zisheng vigorously wiped the sweat off his forehead, rubbed his palms, and shouted, "Again! I really don't believe I can't beat it!" Jiang Yun took the initiative to step forward: "Come on, I'll take the lead, and everyone will shout chant together!" "Okay!" The officers and soldiers participating in the battle shouted together. Putting on the iron collar, He Zisheng calmed down and said to Sun Mingjie: "When the word 'three' is called, we both use our greatest strength to push it up! Is that okay?" Sun Mingjie nodded firmly, "If we cooperate, we will be invincible!" Countless voices yelled at the same time: "One, two—" Following the "three" loudly, Sun Mingjie shouted: "Okay!" He Zisheng said quickly: "Use the hydraulic scissors!" The car door was pried open to a narrow gap of less than half a finger, the hydraulic shears were inserted abruptly, the oil pump started, and amidst the loud "buzzing" sound, the steel car door was cut into two pieces like soft bread, weakly droop down. The door of the car was cut off, like a bright sun shining in the car, and the trapped people saw the hope of life in an instant, shouting, crying for help, and crying everywhere, piercing their hearts. Deputy Mayor Deng, who had been closely following the rescue process, breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said to Jiang Yun: "Fortunately, we have the equipment of the Special Service Squadron, otherwise, the door could not be opened so easily. The Special Service Squadron has made great contributions to our government!" " Jiang Yun smiled proudly and said, "Equipment and people's quality and spirit complement each other." He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie quickly discussed, "Rescue in the order from the outside to the inside. I will lead Zhanlu and Yang Yong into the car to carry out the operation. You organize other soldiers to deliver the wounded at the door of the car and speed up the pace of rescue." The first person to be rescued was an old lady who was over 60 years old. Her thigh was pierced in the middle by the steel bar of the collapsed luggage rack. .Zhanlu and Yang Yong worked together to lift the luggage that was on her body, and used hydraulic shears to forcibly cut off the steel bar that stabbed her, and rescued her.Half a minute later, they successfully rescued the middle-aged woman whose head was bleeding; 3 minutes later, the third trapped person was also rescued; 5 minutes later, the other 2 trapped persons were rescued successively . He Zisheng continued to go deep into the interior of the car, holding a flashlight and shouting: "Is there anyone else?" After a while, there was a clear answer, a woman's voice: "Yes, there are two more people, we are in the passenger seat." He Zisheng groped in the direction of the sound, and at the same time asked: "How are your injuries? Where are you stuck?" "I wasn't injured. The other one, his legs got stuck." At this time, He Zisheng had already arrived at the passenger seat.Under the patrol of the bright flashlight, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl of medium height jumped into his eyes. He shone the light of the flashlight on her face first, and examined it from head to toe.The girl happened to be in the driver's backseat and was indeed unhurt.However, lying on the passenger seat on the front right of her was a young man in his early 20s, his face was as pale as paper, and he groaned softly from time to time. He Zisheng said to the girl: "Since you are not injured, get out of the car quickly and leave it to our fire brigade for rescue." The girl shook her head and said, "I won't get out of the car, I have to watch him. I kept talking to him after the car accident to prevent him from passing out, let alone leave now." He Zisheng stepped forward to feel the pulse of the young man, his heart sank, the young man was bleeding profusely and his condition was very critical.In this critical moment, the most important thing to lose is confidence. Mutual care and encouragement among relatives is indeed necessary.So he didn't insist on letting the girl get out of the car, and told her: "You can stay here, please help us and encourage him a lot. His situation is very dangerous, and it will be difficult to rescue him." The girl blinked and nodded repeatedly. Sun Mingjie has already followed, and the two carefully studied the rescue countermeasures. Sun Mingjie said: "The situation of this young man is different from other trapped persons. His legs are too stuck by the front fender and the right fender of the vehicle. It is difficult to widen the working space simply by using hydraulic shears." He Zisheng thought about it for a moment, and said, "Why don't you try using an electric demolition combination to expand the baffle next to your right leg?" As soon as they said it, they moved the electro-hydraulic expansion shears to the position of the right baffle and started the expansion operation. As time passed, the young man's legs kept bleeding, and the blood splashed on the faces and bodies of He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie who were rescued. The strong smell of gasoline was mixed with the smell of blood, and the suffocating breath permeated the narrow space. The expansion scissors were activated, and the slight tremor immediately caused the severe pain in the young man's legs. "Ah—" he wailed in pain. He Zisheng was worried when he heard this, and his hands couldn't help shaking slightly. "Hey, bear with it, the fire officers and soldiers are trying to save you." The girl said with a relaxed tone, as if she was not facing a difficult rescue, but a game of pretending. The young man panted and moaned in a low voice: "It hurts, it's unbearable. I want to sleep, and it won't hurt when I sleep..." "Don't sleep! Who will chat with me when you sleep? Or, I'll tell you a story again?" "You've already told... several times..." "A new story, you must have never heard of it..." When they questioned him, He Zisheng winked anxiously at Sun Mingjie, and said in a low voice, "No, the effective expansion range of the hydraulic expansion scissors is only 20 centimeters, and the legs cannot be removed." Although the voice was low, the young man still heard him muttering, "It's useless, my blood is running out, I'm going to die..." "Don't talk nonsense." The girl interrupted him, and said with a smile and a little anger: "Just at this moment, how much blood can you bleed? I'm a medical student and I calculated it for you. It's not enough for 400CC. With just this amount, the hospital would not accept it as a blood donation, it’s useless.” "No way...I donated 200cc of blood last month, you lied to me." "Who wants to lie to you. Besides, you have persisted for so long, and it seems that you can be saved. It is not worthwhile to give up at this time. Come, don't listen to the story, let's guess the riddle." "What... riddle?" "It's very simple. I'll give you a question, and you guess it. If you want to win, you have to treat me to dinner." "Win, do you still have to treat me to dinner?" The young man smiled helplessly, his legs were in sharp pain again, and his face twisted into a ball. "Of course." The girl said confidently, "I have saved your life. Listen to the question quickly: there is a word that everyone will mispronounce. What is this word?" "This, this...is too simple, isn't it just...a 'wrong' word." The girl clapped her hands and cheered: "You win!" He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie stood up with a smile at the same time: "Comrade, congratulations, the rescue was successful!" Just as the girl was talking to the young man, He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie found triangular wood to further expand the working space on the premise of hydraulic expansion shears. Then, they adopted the dual-purpose motorized shears and expansion with larger expansion diameter and stronger power. The forceps were expanded again, and the young man's legs were successfully removed. The ambulance from the hospital arrived, and with the help of He Zisheng and others, the medical staff carried the young man into the ambulance. Excitedly, Sun Mingjie wiped the sweat and blood from his face, and said to He Zisheng: "It's really not easy, we rescued 10 people!" He moved closer again, and whispered to He Zisheng: "That Jiang Yina is doing on-site rescue!" He Zisheng followed Sun Mingjie's line of sight, and he saw Jiang Yina, dressed in white, standing beside the ambulance, hanging bottles for the wounded, so he sneered at Sun Mingjie, "Why, don't you call her a shrew?" Sun Mingjie laughed at himself: "Forget it, good men don't fight women." This sentence reminded He Zisheng, and he said: "Oh, that girl just now is really not easy. She contributed a lot to our successful rescue. And did you hear what she said clearly? It turns out that she and that young man There is no family relationship, but he is so enthusiastic about helping others." Sun Mingjie nodded in agreement: "That's right, a very capable girl." He Zisheng said: "I have to thank her personally." While talking, he looked around, but before he could find the girl, he heard Yu Manjiang shouting hurriedly: "He Zi, come quickly!" He Zisheng ran to the rollover position of the No. 4 car where Yu Manjiang was. Yu Manjiang was helpless, looking like a useless hero, holding a poisonous gas detector, circled the leaked product, and said, "Come here, come here, we can't determine the name of the leaked product." He Zisheng stepped forward to fiddle with it, coughed helplessly, and said, "There are more than 6,000 chemical hazards listed in the "Chemical Hazardous Substances" manual, and I am afraid that this instrument alone cannot be sure." "I knew it!" Yu Manjiang looked annoyed, "The technological content of our fire inspection equipment has to be greatly improved, and it is too far behind the actual needs. Huh? No, He Zi, your coughing sound is wrong." He Zisheng covered his mouth and coughed again, "I probably shouted too much during the rescue just now, and now my throat hurts." Yu Manjiang looked alert, "What kind of pain? Is there any discomfort?" He Zisheng said indifferently: "It's nothing, it hurts a little, like being pricked by a thin needle." Yu Manjiang's face darkened, "Why did you take off the rebreather?" "It's not for the convenience of rescue, how can such a narrow compartment carry an air respirator." He Zisheng complained aggrievedly. Yu Manjiang ignored him and turned to call Sun Mingjie. When Sun Mingjie ran over, Yu Manjiang shook the flashlight at him and exclaimed, "Xiao Sun, why are your eyes so red and bloodshot?" Sun Mingjie didn't realize it, "No!" He raised his hand to wipe his eyes, but someone stretched out his hand, strangled his wrist, and said, "Don't move!" Yu Manjiang and He Zisheng shouted in surprise at the same time: "Mr. Ren, you are here!" Mr. Ren, who had just arrived, did not respond to the two of them, and took the flashlight from Yu Manjiang's hand. After carefully observing Sun Mingjie's eyes, he said: "The leaked product has a strong irritating effect on the skin and respiratory tract. It must be a highly toxic and highly corrosive product. Sexual chemicals." Mr. Ren brought the dawn of hope, and Yu Manjiang ordered He and Sun: "Hurry up and order all the soldiers to wear air respirators." Turning around, with a flattering smile on his face, he asked Mr. Ren, "Then can you Can you figure out the product name?" Elder Ren replied flatly: "I'm not a god. Besides, don't you already have advanced equipment? Why, you still can't recognize it?" Yu Manjiang sneered: "No matter how good the equipment is, it can't compare to the human brain. Isn't the most popular computer invented by humans? Master, you are the most sophisticated human brain in the city's fire brigade." Mr. Ren put on his presbyopic glasses, looked at the shape of the leaked product sample in the container with fascination, and said, "Stop teasing me." Seeing that Mr. Ren was indulging in the working atmosphere, Yu Manjiang waited silently and stopped interrupting. Mr. Ren smelled, sniffed and watched, even poured the container sample on the ground for observation, and ran to the tank truck to check for leaks. After more than ten minutes, he said to Yu Manjiang, "It is likely to be methyl sulfate." Yu Manjiang scratched his head: "Are you sure?" Mr. Ren said: "No. You can submit the samples to Jianglin University or scientific research institutions in the city for test analysis and comparison, but it will take time." Yu Manjiang said: "Time is running out, how can we wait like this." "Hey, here's a phone number!" He Zisheng yelled beside the car tires.After wearing an air breathing apparatus, he wandered around the tanker. Behind the notice board at the rear of the tanker, he found a row of extremely small numbers, which should be phone numbers. Yu Manjiang immediately ordered: "Report to the headquarters, and try to dial this number quickly." In the on-site headquarters, Sun Mingjie used a temporarily installed emergency telephone to dial the other party's number. The owner of the tank truck answered the phone. Hearing that there was a car accident, the owner screamed: "The tank truck is loaded with methyl sulfate. , very toxic!" The product name of the leaked product was confirmed. In the headquarters, Deputy Mayor Deng asked with concern: "What are the dangers of methyl sulfate?" Mr. Ren introduced: "Methyl sulfate has an ether-like smell, is slightly soluble in water, and is oily. I roughly determined it based on comprehensive evaluation. It is highly toxic and has a strong corrosive and irritating effect on the respiratory system and skin, affecting the nervous system. The blood system can damage the functions of the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. If there is 1% methyl sulfate gas in the air, it will be fatal to the human body if inhaled!" Jiang Yun said: "The current situation is that a large amount of leaked methyl sulfate has flowed into the farmland on both sides of the expressway; five of our firefighters who were close to the rescue had symptoms such as throat sting and eye congestion to varying degrees." Deputy Mayor Deng nodded and said: "As the fire brigade, you have not assumed the responsibility for this kind of emergency rescue. However, the whole city does not have the professional force and team to deal with such leakage accidents, so please formulate the next step of rescue and disposal." measure." Jiang Yun said: "We suggest, first, control dangerous substances immediately, ask the government to mobilize public security officers to immediately build cofferdams, urgently transport lime for on-site disposal, control polluted farmland, and prevent pollution from expanding; second, organize villages, towns, Street officials, immediately evacuate nearby villagers; third, if possible, mobilize chemical defense forces to decontaminate fire trucks, police cars and other vehicles on the scene." "Okay!" Deputy Mayor Deng immediately agreed, and at the same time added with concern, "You must quickly send the five injured officers and soldiers to the hospital for treatment." Both He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie were listed by Jiang Yun as "immediately sent to the hospital for treatment".However, both of them refused to leave, because they saw that under the unified mobilization of the government, a large number of police officers and government officials arrived at the scene one after another. How could they be willing to let them leave at this time! Jiang Yun and Yu Manjiang urged them: "The ambulance is right outside, go to emergency treatment quickly, this is an order!" Mr. Ren said indifferently: "If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Could it be that one of you wants to be a dumb commander, and the other wants to be a blind firefighter?" At this time, He Zisheng could hardly make a sound, and every note he uttered was tingling with pain.He held down his Adam's apple, and swallowed a sentence towards Mr. Ren: "As long as you are here, we will be here." Elder Ren seemed to be choked up and did not speak. Yu Manjiang looked into Mr. Ren's eyes, and said sincerely: "Master, you are our spiritual motivation, stay here, we need you." This is a noisy rescue scene, police cars come and go with red lights, shouts and exclamations, footsteps and brakes The voices came and went, and against the lively and noisy background, such a short sentence was clear and powerful. He Zisheng saw that Mr. Ren raised his head slowly, with a faint smile on his usual indifferent face. Jiang Yun helped Mr. Fu Ren's shoulders: "Old Mr. Ren, there is great news that has just come out. Units above the detachment level of the national fire brigade will immediately set up a new fire prevention supervision department, specializing in fire prevention business guidance. Brother, you have better Useful place!" This news not only lifted Mr. Ren's spirit, but even Yu Manjiang couldn't help but beam with joy, saying: "Really? Then our fire brigade is really different from the armed police internal guards. In addition to the headquarters, the political department and the logistics department, we have added fire protection Supervision Office. It seems that the firefighting work will open up a new situation soon!" As he said, he continued to urge He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie, "What are you two still doing in a daze? For this new situation, you two have to go and treat your injuries as soon as possible!" He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie had no choice but to move towards the outside step by step.Without paying attention, he collided head-on with someone. He Zisheng was about to apologize, when he looked up, it was the girl in the bus that hit him. He Zisheng greeted happily: "You..." Before the words of thanks could be said, the girl interrupted him in surprise and said, "Oh, your respiratory tract is burned, go to the hospital quickly! I have something to do, goodbye!" She waved to him, ran forward in a hurry, and quickly disappeared in the In the morning mist. He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie walked to the periphery and met Li Dada who was assisting in security.Li Dada waved warmly at He Zisheng as if meeting a relative: "He Zi! You came just in time. There is a girl outside the security zone who insists on seeing you by name. She has been waiting for more than an hour. Hey, is that your girlfriend?" He Zisheng was embarrassed and thought: Where do I get my girlfriend from! Sun Mingjie pushed him: "Quickly, go and meet, maybe it's your Feng Yuanyuan." He replied loudly to Li Dada, "Yes, it's He Zi's girlfriend, please let her in!" He Zisheng was speechless, he could only stare at Sun Mingjie, and thought: What is "your" Feng Yuanyuan? Li Dada's 1.90-meter tall body flickered, and a slender figure flashed from behind him. He Zisheng took a closer look, and suddenly felt that the blood in his body was no longer flowing, and he was stunned. This person is really Feng Yuanyuan! She was wearing a clean white short-sleeved sports T-shirt with a ponytail, quite casual, and it could be seen that she was in a hurry and didn't have time to dress up.This rescue operation is very important, and the relevant media should have reported it. She must have rushed to the scene quickly after learning that the fire brigade was dispatched. He was more than ten meters away from her, and his eyesight was always good, so he really wanted to see the expression on her face at this moment.However, the poisonous gas invaded his vision, not only his eyes were sore and weak, but he also felt like crying.He couldn't tell whether the poisonous gas made him want to cry, or the person in front of him, or the feelings in his heart made him want to cry.The girl in front of him really liked him and really cared about him.How could he not be deeply moved by this, how could he not be moved? Involuntarily, and completely uncontrollably, he approached her step by step. So does she. As he approached, he saw that her bright eyes seemed to be filled with a thin layer of mist, and the expression on her face was both happy to laugh and shy to hesitate. She suddenly yelled: "You're bleeding!" The yell was obviously crying. She kept asking, looking up and down, panicked out of control, "Where are you hurt? Let's go to the hospital right away!" He came to his senses, and quickly said in a hoarse voice: "No, I'm not injured. The blood on my body was all accidentally splashed when saving lives." He swayed his legs left and right, and said proudly, "Look, no, it's all right." Feng Yuanyuan gave a "puchi" smile, and whispered shyly, "Don't show off, it's uglier than a bear dancing." He Zisheng said, "I'm afraid you're worried." "I'm really worried, I'm really scared." Feng Yuanyuan choked up suddenly, she turned her head away and wept.Crystal tears dripped down drop by drop, rolled onto the collar of the white T-shirt, slid like dewdrops, and rolled down to the ground. At this time, He Zisheng wished he could pick up her teardrops one by one and put them in his arms.There was inexplicable heartache and intolerance in his heart, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​giving her a hug, but his reason quickly restrained it, because the combat suit on his body might be contaminated with dangerous chemicals, and this moment made him completely forget about the pain in his throat. Damage, language function temporarily returned to normal: "Don't cry, get out of here quickly!" Feng Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes sadly. "It's dangerous here!" There was great concern and sincerity in his tone. Feng Yuanyuan was taken aback again, but instead took a step forward, leaned into his arms, and gently wrapped his arms around his waist.
