Chereads / Beneath The Cloudy Sky / Chapter 22 - "Take the lead"

Chapter 22 - "Take the lead"

"Feng let's do it! I am ready!" Ning said all determined as she stood up and took a deep breath.

"Let it go." Ning looked at him confused, "I mean breath out too."

"Oh! I forgot." Ning said as she let out the breath and smiled.

.

Feng didn't say much and tied their legs together.

"Tell me if you are uncomfortable, okay?"

"Okay..." Ning said trying her best not to quiver.

As right now both of them are sticked by the side, not to mention his hands on Ning shoulders holding her firmly is getting the best out of her.

.

"Okay than let's do this, take your left out and then right at a steady pace Okay?"

Feng said as he looked at thier legs.

"Okay."

"Then let's start left...right..left..right.." Feng took the lead and Ning followed him silently, till now thier practice was going well though they are slow thanks to their height difference. I Mean how could a 5 feet Short leg compare with the 6 feet tall legs.

.

But that wasn't the only problem as both do their heartbeats and nervousness and the heat thier body was producing was really making them go insane.

"Okay now let's try without looking at out legs." Feng said as he looked at Ning who nodded her head and they started walking at the same pace but after 5 steps Ning stumbled onto something at the next thing that happened was Ning on the ground with Feng on top of him.

.

Both of their faces just inches apart, their eyes looking at each other in surprise and their faces flushed in crimson.

"S-sorry!" Ning said as she struggled to let out of their awkward position but as their legs were tied it only ended up adding more to their troubles.

Making them groan in pain as the ribbon on thier leg tightened.

.

"Sorry.." Ning said as she looked at the red mark on Feng legs. Currently they were sitting at the benches after somehow getting rid of the ribbon.

"Don't be...I shouldn't have bought that ribbon at first place." Feng said as he tried to supress his pain behind a smile but the shorty seemed to have notice it as she looked gloomy and started rumpaging though her bags.

.

She bought out a small white pouch with had a red cross sign drawn in it and her name written at the side.

"Wounds should be treated in time or less they might leave a scar." She said as she bought out a bottle of sanitizer and sprayed it in around the mark after which she cleaned the place with a cotton pad and lastly applied an ointment before sanitizing her hands and putting everything inside her bag.

.

Throughout the treatment time, Feng didn't say anything and just looked at Ning with amazed eyes. As Ning took the upper hand so naturally, her eyes looked authoritative yet her gestures still soft and kind.

To be taken care of...is something Feng was not at all used too, as his father died even before he was born and his mother is mostly not with him and it's not like he complaints about it...well not now.

So, looking at Ning being all caring for him made his heart warm and a smile crept on his face genuinely.

.

"(But wait! who cares a whole medical kit with themselves?)" Feng thought as he looked at Ning already packing her things, but didn't let it out ad he was in no mood to spoil Ning's mood.

"Thanks..."

"No problem but be careful..." She said as she sat on the bench again and looked at the field.

Feng followed her eyes and looked at their other classmates running and playing around in the name of practice...well he isn't complaining afterall that's what most of them look forward too.

.

This practice was a legal pass from then to bunk classes, enjoy with their friends and make some beautiful memories to carry until the end of life.

.

"You did well today." Feng said his eyes still fixed at their other classmates.

"I know..." Ning said as she let out a breath.

"Hmm..."

Silence filled the ground except for the fact that it was a comfortable one, where both of them could watch the amazing sun set and enjoy the faint pop music played by cheerleaders and hum along.

.

"Hey! Are you two done for the day?" A student most probably a senior called from behind.

"Yes we are but why?..." Feng asked as he looked at the senior who wasn't a new face to them.

"School president?"

.

"You can stop calling me that now...I have already resigned and today is our last day in school." That boy with specs said as he smiled and tilted his head.

"Anyway, I had a favor to ask from you two...well only if you are free."

.

Both of them exchanged a look and as Ning nodded her head slightly, Feng agreed to help.

"Great than can you two please check if the sport basement has every item listed in this list. It was my job but I need to attain a party so I can't really do it...so please?" He said as he handed them a long list.

.

"This is surely a long one...but no worries." Feng said as he took the list form his hand.

"Thank you! It's means a lot!" He said as he quickly ran towards the exit where a girl was waiting for him.

"Looks like he is going on a date." Ning said as she looked at them and the genuine, nervous smiles on their faces.

.

"Good for him, let's go the list is very lengthy I doubt if we will able able finish it in an hour?"

"We can always call for Ling and Yuan, If we get stucked right?" Ning said as she followed him while putting her backpack on her shoulders.

.

"Looks like you two are enjoying even after all that happened....but not anymore." A person following them said with a creepy smile on his face said.
