Yun Hua kept telling herself she was saving someone. Just saving someone.
However, she could control her eyes, but not her hands.
She couldn't see anything with her eyes closed, but the sensation from her hands wasn't fake.
The worse thing was when she touched the wrong part because she couldn't see.
Yun Hua was on the brink of tears.
After wiping his body down and rubbing alcohol on his arteries, Yun Hua felt as though she had just won a fight in a war.
She was exhausted.
She quickly fetched a cold but unfrozen towel from the freezer. The coolness was just right. If it were frozen, his skin would suffer from frostbite.
She folded the cold towel, placed it over his forehead, and checked the time. If the fever wasn't down after an hour, she would have to give him another dose of the medication.
Yun Hua didn't bother to go back to her room. Instead, she sat on the floor and leaned against the grocery container to get some rest.
She fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes the next time, she had no idea what time it was.
She rubbed her eyes and realized the attic was empty.
Bo Siqing, who had been in a daze because of the fever from the night before, was missing.
He had covered her with the thin blanket which she had used on him. The cold towel that had been placed on his forehead to bring the fever down was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Hua was speechless.
All she found was a new towel; she had been afraid to use her parents' towel, fearing they would find out. She could only put her own little pink piggy towel into the freezer to chill it for his forehead.
In the end, he had taken her little towel and nothing else.
Her pink piggy towel.
Yun Hua ground her teeth. How dare he leave without even saying a word! She had saved him, took him in for the past few days, and cared for his wounds. He had left without even thanking her!
Yun Hua smacked her lips together, packed her things, and tiptoed down the stairs.
Deep down, she knew that he was a special man. His sudden departure must mean that he had something urgent.
Surely it must be alright to show some appreciation.
Humph!
Yun Hua, who was not in a good mood, kept a sullen face the whole day. It caused Xiao Ruyue to come questioning several times; she also kept assuring Yun Hua that she would never take the initiative to seduce Qi Ziheng!
Yun Hua was tired of listening. Xiao Ruyue wouldn't take the initiative to seduce him because she was full of confidence about herself. Naturally, Qi Ziheng would choose her, not Yun Hua. The logic was simple. Did they really think she was stupid?
It would be Saturday tomorrow. All Yun Hua could think about was how she would spend all her time swimming at the pool.
In this life, she refused to let anyone destroy her swimming ambition.
In the afternoon, Yun Hua went to the supermarket alone to buy a swimsuit after school.
Competitive swimsuits looked completely different from the ones people usually wore to the beach. Yun Hua had to consider many factors.
In 2006, people in Jiangxi City still had very conservative mindsets. A little girl wearing a one-piece competitive swimsuit would be too revealing. Her private areas would only be covered by a skimpy piece of cloth.
Yun Hua chose a one-piece swimsuit with a normal design. It had a little skirt attached around the waist, covering her private areas from other's view.
This design would increase one's resistance in the water during the competition, slowing the swimmer down. Naturally, it would not be an option for competitive swimmers.
However, Yun Hua would only be competing against students from her school. If she failed at such an entry-level competition, her ambition of being a competitive swimmer would be shattered.
After picking a swimsuit, a swimming cap, and a huge towel—which she would use to wipe her body down after swimming—Yun Hua went to the cashier.
However, she ran into Qi Ziheng at the cashier's counter.
