Campus Chapter: Encounter
Half of the semester had passed, and Xia Zaoan went home from school in the afternoon as usual.
In the car, Xia Zaoan touched his wrist unintentionally and said, "Wait a minute, my bracelet is gone."
Uncle Chen asked, "Miss, your bracelet is missing?"
"Yeah, it's the one my brother gave me for my birthday."
Xia Zaoan looked for it in the car but couldn't find it.
"Uncle Chen, go back to school. He might have lost it during physical education class."
"Yes, miss."
Xia Zaoan returned to school and said, "Uncle Chen, wait here, I'll go find the bracelet." After saying that, Xia Zaoan ran into No. 1 Middle School.
"Miss, please be careful." Uncle Chen shouted.
Xia Zaoan carefully searched for the bracelet along the route he had taken today, but still couldn't find it.
The sky gradually darkened, Xia Zaoan felt a little anxious and looked around.
There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the pile of stones beside the pond on the side of the road. Xia Zaoan walked closer and saw that her bracelet had fallen into the pile of pebbles inlaid near the pond.
Xia Zaoan squatted down, trying to reach out for the bracelet, stretching his body forward. He finally touched the bracelet with difficulty and took it out.
When Xia Zaoan stood up and turned around, he lost his balance and the stone he was standing on gave way. He slipped, his ankle hit the stone, and he fell into the pond.
Xia Zaoan sprained his right foot, his whole body was wet, and his ankle was in excruciating pain.
The water in the pond is not deep and there is no danger to life.
Xia Zaoan tried to climb up, but his right foot was powerless and he couldn't get up after trying for a long time.
Xia Zaoan was a little depressed and couldn't help crying.
Ye Lin had just come out of the laboratory building and happened to pass by here.
Xia Zaoan lowered her head and noticed someone squatting in front of her. She slowly raised her head and a corner of white clothes caught her sight. What caught her eye was Ye Lin's fair and striking face.
Ye Lin stretched out her hand to Xia Zaoan. Xia Zaoan looked at the white, slender hand with distinct joints, which looked like a work of art.
"Give me your hand." Ye Lin's cold words rang in Xia Zaoan's ears.
Xia Zaoan was stunned for a moment and realized that Ye Lin was talking to her.
Xia Zaoan gently placed her hand on Ye Lin's.
Ye Lin pulled Xia Zaoan up.
Ye Lin took Xia Zaoan to the infirmary. The infirmary of Kyoto No. 1 Middle School is open 24 hours a day, and there was no one in the infirmary at this time.
Xia Zaoan sat on the edge of the bed, and Ye Lin handed her a set of clothes.
"This dress is mine, put it on first."
Xia Zaoan took the clothes, which were an ordinary clean white shirt and a pair of black loose pants.
Xia Zaoan whispered thank you and changed her clothes.
A faint cool fragrance emanated from the clothes, which Xia Zaoan found very pleasant.
Ye Lin brought the medicine box, squatted down, picked up Xia Zaoan's foot and placed it on her leg, lowered her head and carefully treated the wound on Xia Zaoan's foot.
Xia Zaoan looked at Ye Lin silently. The soft light shone on Ye Lin's face, and the fuzz on her face could be clearly seen.
Her eyelashes were long and curled, and she wore a simple ponytail without any hair accessories. Two strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks. She was concentrating on applying medicine to Xia Zaoan.
Ye Lin's hands were a little cold. When she applied disinfectant on Xia Zaoan's wound, Xia Zaoan felt a little pain and couldn't help but cry out.
"hiss--"
Ye Lin stopped what she was doing and looked up at Xia Zaoan.
"I'll try to be gentle, just bear with it." Then he lowered his head and continued to deal with it.
For the first time, Xia Zaoan realized that Ye Lin was so gentle and not as cold as she looked.
"What are you looking for over there?" Ye Lin suddenly asked.
Xia Zaoan was startled and suddenly remembered, "Bracelet, my bracelet seems to have fallen into the pond."
"What kind?"
"It has some diamond bits on it, and a pearl hanging from the clasp."
Xia Zaoan thought for a moment, "How did you know I was looking for something?"
"I have eyes, I can see it."
Xia Zaoan kept his mouth shut and didn't ask how you knew I was looking for something when I clearly fell into the pond.
Ye Lin knew what Xia Zaoan wanted to ask. This was Ye Lin's sharp judgment. Ye Lin knew that Xia Zaoan would not understand, so she did not explain too much.
Xia Zaoan remembered that Ye Lin had never asked her name before, so she couldn't help but tell Ye Lin.
"Well, um, my name is Xia Zaoan."
"I know."
"Well, how did you know?" Xia Zaoan asked.
"You introduced yourself on the first day of school."
"But you didn't even look at me the whole time."
"I remember your voice."
Xia Zaoan was surprised: He can tell who I am just by listening to my voice, this is too amazing!
"Then did you memorize the voices of everyone in the class?" Xia Zaoan asked.
"Yeah." Ye Lin replied lightly.
Xia Zaoan secretly admired him: He is worthy of being the god of our school.
Ye Lin treated the wound and said, "Don't let it get wet. Fortunately, no bones or muscles are injured. Go back and rest well for a few days."
"Oh, okay."
Ye Lin helped Xia Zaoan out of the school gate. Uncle Chen saw who was coming and asked anxiously, "Miss, you are finally back. How did you get hurt?"
Xia Zaoan didn't want to lose face in front of Ye Lin, "Don't mention it."
"Oh, Ye Lin, this is my driver Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen, this is me--" Xia Zaoan originally said that they were friends, but this was the first time Xia Zaoan and Ye Lin had met, and he felt that he was not a friend to Ye Lin.
"My classmate, Ye Lin." Xia Zaoan felt that saying "classmate" would make them feel closer.
"Hello, Miss Ye."
"Hello, Uncle Chen." Ye Lin was very polite.
Uncle Chen saw that Xia Zaoan had difficulty walking, so he helped Xia Zaoan get into the car first.
After Xia Zaoan sat down, he looked outside and found that Ye Lin had disappeared.
Xia Zaoan felt a little disappointed and didn't have time to thank Ye Lin.
"Uncle Chen, go back."
"Miss, didn't you go looking for the bracelet? How did you get into this state? Did you find the bracelet?"
Xia Zaoan shook his head, "No."
"By the way, don't tell my brother about this."
"Can……"
"Uncle Chen——" Xia Zaoan said earnestly.
"Okay, but if you get hurt again, I will definitely tell the Master."
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
"Let's go."
"yes."
