The sun near noon was scorching people’s skin.
The girl lying flat in the shade also had slightly red cheeks.
The girl on top of her supported herself with her hands on the ground, trapping the one who was at a loss about the situation between her arms.
…
…
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing saliva was so obvious under this shade, in this space with only the two of them.
The girl slightly lifted her head, her dark eyes meeting those emerald-like green eyes.
The girl half-pressed on top of her had a dazed look.
Even though there was still some distance between them, Yin Xiaomeng still felt that the breath being exhaled onto her skin at this moment was extremely hot.
It seemed that in her vision, only those two delicate lips repeatedly opening and closing remained.
The girl listened to her own thumping heartbeat and the clearly rapid breathing of the other.
Amid the repeated “Xiaomeng, I feel so terrible…”, she tremblingly reached out her hand toward the other’s cheek.
Her fingertips touched the burning skin.
Almost instinctively, the temperature even hotter than the outdoor air made the girl pull her fingers back—
“?”
“Why are you burning so hot? Heatstroke?”
…
…
“No, Situ Ling, even if you have heatstroke, don’t vomit on me, okay?”
“Get up quickly!”
…
Emergency room.
Sitting on a folding chair meant for companions, looking at the girl sleeping on the bed, Yin Xiaomeng felt that all the wrong things she had done in her life should be written off today.
…
‘How could someone get heatstroke so easily after finishing the 800-meter run in groups?’
…
‘But…’
‘On second thought, this situation is actually normal…’
‘After all, yesterday she was sent to the infirmary with a fever from catching a cold and slept almost the whole afternoon. When they parted at the school gate, the girl could vaguely detect that the other was still a bit under the weather…’
‘A body that wasn’t fully recovered and didn’t exercise much, combined with a relatively high-intensity exercise like the 800-meter run…’
‘And also considering the stuffy hot weather outside.’
‘Sigh…’
She let out a long sigh.
Although she was a bit upset about the other vomiting on her while feverish and delirious…
But what could she do about it?
She couldn’t exactly argue with a patient…
Her gaze moved down, landing on the IV needle fixed to the other’s hand with medical tape, then shifted to the small bottle hanging on the IV stand at the head of the bed.
The liquid in the bottle seemed like it would take a long time to finish dripping.
Yin Xiaomeng raised her hand and patted her own cheeks.
Her cheeks, which had been hot, returned to normal temperature after she calmed down from being busy and sweaty.
Of course, she didn’t have heatstroke.
It was simply because, while she was lying in the shade ready to rest, someone who had just finished the 800-meter run and was dripping with sweat came out of nowhere and pinned her down with a domineering CEO forced-love attitude, causing her to flush red.
This feeling of being trapped in a small space, with her lower body pressed down so she couldn’t move freely, made her feel extremely uncomfortable all over, even nine parts out of ten.
Maybe it was an illusion?
The moment the feverish and delirious Situ Ling grabbed her wrist, Yin Xiaomeng even felt as if she had returned to that dim cinema…
Bai Ruoxi’s face and her good friend’s face actually overlapped for an instant—
Although it was only an instant, but…
The girl still cowardly held her breath and felt an uncontrollable panic.
Until the other, due to dizziness and nausea, let out an “urp” and painted a foul-smelling pattern on her clothes. The pungent smell and unpleasant sensation pulled her out of that somewhat fearful emotion.
‘…Damn Bai Ruoxi.’
The bad memory made her grit her teeth, but after that “failure,” she seemed to have lost the courage to face the other directly…
Although she kept saying she was ready to take severe revenge and make that wolf in sheep’s clothing cry bitterly from her punishment, if they really met offline again…
Yin Xiaomeng herself wasn’t sure if she could still stand tall in front of her…
Of course, that doesn’t mean she would be comfortably bent over.
…
‘I wish you only have warm Coca-Cola to drink.’
Sincerely offering her most genuine blessing to a certain girl far away “at the horizon,” she stared at the large bottle of medicine and began calculating whether she still had a chance to go back to school today…
Situ Ling’s parents were temporarily out handling company business…
Their flight was at nine this morning;
Maybe they were still at the negotiation table now?
She couldn’t just leave Situ Ling alone in the hospital…
‘Sigh.’
Another sigh. Her gaze fell back on the face that was clearly asleep yet still frowning.
‘Why isn’t Uncle Chen here yet…’
‘She called Uncle Chen on the way to the hospital in the car…’
…
Yin Xiaomeng leaned forward, extended her rather restless little hand, and poked the girl’s bouncy cheek again and again.
Although it still felt a bit hot to the touch…
But the feel was as good as ever.
But this was only temporary.
After poking the still-sleeping girl for a while, the bored girl sat back up properly and took out her phone from the pocket of her track suit.
The cute reserve food sources she had already replied to in the morning now all had red dots on their chat windows symbolizing unread messages.
‘Hiss…’
‘Is this Lin Qingya turning dark because she’s about to be broken up with?’
‘What kind of indescribable stuff is she sending me…’
With an expression like an old man looking at a phone on the subway, after briefly calculating the immeasurable impact on her mental state if she didn’t immediately put the other into a “mute notifications” group, for the sake of her own mental health,
No matter how reluctant she was to give up the fish she had raised…
But until No. 3 returned to normal, she would reduce the frequency of communication with this person as much as possible, except for the unified morning check-in.
‘Cherish life. Stay away from the Cthulhu deity.’
🙏🏻
Putting her palms together, she quickly moved the other into the “accept but no notification” group.
Struggling to force herself to forget the pollutants she just saw, the girl turned her gaze to No. 4’s chat window.
‘…Bai Ruoxi is performing steadily as usual.’
‘Judging by the time of these messages, she sends two every time class ends?’
Although the consequences of that “mistake” made her carry some hatred for Bai Ruoxi, after having Lin Qingya as a comparison group that emits strong mental pollution comparable to a Cthulhu deity,
This bastard who had pinned her down and played with her for over an hour looked much more pleasing to the eye now.
At the very least—
Bai Ruoxi only made her legs weak and back sore, and at most gave her a little stress reaction to cinemas and being pinned down…
But what Lin Qingya sent felt like the kind of indescribable stuff that even a Cthulhu deity wouldn’t dare look at directly.
This kind of pollutant takes root in the brain.
‘Even if you kill me, I would never in this life think of something like: I have a twenty-five-year-old friend whose girlfriend is her nineteen-year-old mother…’
The last time I saw something this bizarre was probably when she sent that line:
‘My best friend’s boyfriend is her girlfriend’s girlfriend.’
Right?
I can only say…
I know everyone has their own opinions on the arrangement of words, but please, don’t assault my brain anymore.
