[Huluwa, he wouldn't be thinking of finding a secluded corner to kill me, would he?]
With a click, Song Qi turned on the wall light.
Su Ping then discovered that it was a small storage room filled with various odds and ends.
[Huluwa, how come I didn't know there were these little cubicles inside?]
[Because the original owner refused to swim, she never attended swimming lessons.]
"Come and sit down."
Song Qi deftly took a box from the shelf and opened it on the table.
Inside were some basic disinfection and bandaging supplies.
[Some students have been injured during swimming lessons, so we keep some commonly used first-aid medications on hand.]
After hearing the Calabash Brothers' explanation, Su Ping obediently walked to the stool and sat down.
The gauze was removed, and Song Qi looked at the slightly whitish wound on her slender neck, his eyes darkening.
For some reason, even though this little pervert was two years younger than her, she felt an invisible sense of oppression.
A subtle atmosphere lingered between the two. Su Ping swallowed hard, trying to find a topic to talk about.
"Thank you for saving me. I'll replace your phone."
"Um."
The light shone on Song Qi's slightly lowered eyelashes, casting a silhouette. As she looked at it, she suddenly felt a little warm.
After Song Qi re-bandaged her bandage, he noticed that she was staring at him intently, her cheeks unusually flushed.
He touched her cheek; it was frighteningly hot.
"You have a fever."
After hearing his conclusion, Su Ping blinked.
Does she have a fever?
They definitely wouldn't be able to get out today. Song Qi rummaged through the box and found that apart from some medicine for external injuries, there was no fever reducer.
"There are no oral medications here, so drink more water."
Su Ping felt like her brain had turned into mush, and she was completely dazed.
Song Qi got up, opened a case of water from the shelf next to him, took out a bottle, and handed it to her.
Su Ping shook her head and pushed the water back.
"You open it for me."
She herself didn't realize that her voice had taken on a coquettish tone because of her illness.
Song Qi looked at her intently, then sighed and helped her unscrew the bottle cap.
He never dared to imagine that one day he would be interacting with her in this way.
Watching Su Ping obediently drink water with her eyes closed, he felt a mix of emotions.
...
"Sister... Sister..."
As Su Ping was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard someone muttering to themselves beside her.
The voice sounded familiar, and she opened her eyes.
It was pitch black all around. After getting used to her surroundings, she remembered that she and the little pervert had been locked in the swimming pool.
"elder sister……"
The voice became clearer; it was Song Qi.
He seems to be talking in his sleep?
Su Ping reached out and touched it, quickly finding a fluffy head.
It's the middle of the night, a bit creepy.
She was startled and tried to pull her hand back, but Song Qi held it tightly.
"Sister, don't go!" Song Qi seemed to be having a nightmare; his face was covered in sweat, and his hair was soaked.
Like someone who had lived in darkness for a long time being redeemed, Song Qi instinctively grabbed Su Ping's hand and pulled him forcefully towards him.
"Sister, don't go, Aqi is scared."
The two were not far apart to begin with, and with his pull, Su Ping fell onto him.
In return, Song Qi hugged her even tighter, pressing his face against her neck.
Strands of hair brushed against her face, making it slightly itchy.
It looks like he's crying?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Ping could hear her heart pounding, and patted his back reassuringly.
Sure enough, I felt the grip on my arms loosen considerably, but I still couldn't break free.
"Sister, will you stay with me forever?"
Song Qi's voice was nasal as he asked her cautiously.
"Yes, I will always be with you."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
Song Qi now acts like an unreasonable child in front of Su Ping, and she patiently tries to soothe him.
As she stroked his head gently, Song Qi gradually fell silent.
She then unknowingly fell asleep.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes shone with an eerie light.
the next day.
Su Ping was woken up and found herself lying on the floor. The floor was hard, and she felt her back was stiff.
"The door is open, let's go."
Song Qi's expression remained unchanged, as if last night was just her illusion.
That heartless brat!
The uncle who opened the door was startled to see the two of them come out.
"Hey, what are you two doing in there?"
"Learn to swim."
Su Ping smiled at him and followed Song Qi.
"Little Song, why are you walking so fast? Do you have class this morning?"
"No." Song Qi spoke sparingly, then paused before taking her hand.
Um?
Su Ping looked like she'd seen a ghost. Had she suddenly gotten up so fast?
Why did that little pervert take her hand first?!
"you……"
Before she could speak, Song Qi turned and continued walking.
"Let's go, didn't you say you were going to pay me back for my phone?"
Su Ping was passively led away by him, only realizing what was happening later.
It turned out that he was afraid of not being able to contact Song Yifei and making her worry.
Song Qi walked ahead, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
This feeling is wonderful.
He didn't dislike her either.
As the two left the mobile phone store, Su Ping saw that he had just called Song Yifei to let her know he was safe and sound, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey Song, I need to talk to you about something."
"?"
"Since we're friends now, could you accept my friend request?"
