Chapter 296 Qing Xiaoyue

 Bang bang, bang bang—

 He Qingxiao heard her own thundering heartbeat.

He thought she must have heard it too.

 When he realized this, his breath hitched and his mind went blank.

 But those soft and cold lips really reminded him of the scene at this time.

This is not right, Miss Xin is teaching him how to save a drowning person.

 But her lips were so soft that he could hardly control himself and wanted to respond...

He Qingxiao was at a loss and helpless. For the first time, he found that his self-control was so vulnerable in front of the girl he liked.

But underneath all these emotions, it is the spring buds that break through the heart and bloom into flowers, it is the spring water flowing through the river that has experienced the cold winter for a long time, and it is the lonely young man who finally walked into the spring after a long journey.

 When the man's breathing began to become messy, Xinyou let him go.

"For a drowning person who is in a coma, or for other accidents that cause coma, breathing through the mouth and pressing the chest is the most effective..." Xin You said serious and serious words, and the darkness covered her cheeks.

She admitted that just now she just wanted to get close to him and touch him.

　　Since she was a child, she has seen so much with her eyes. She should have known that many accidents happen in an instant, and there is no chance to say goodbye.

 What a pity it would be if you have never kissed someone you love and don’t know what kissing feels like.

Those thoughts flashed through her mind, Xin You closed her eyes and fell into coma again.

"What is the interval between chest compressions?" He Qingxiao asked and realized something was wrong, "Miss Xin?"

 The girl's head rested softly on his shoulder, unresponsive.

 “Miss Xin?”

He Qingxiao's heart tightened, and she pushed her slightly but did not respond. She quickly recalled the steps to save someone and laid her flat, and pressed her lips heavily against hers.

This time there is no charm, only tension.

Feeling the strength coming from her chest, Xin You had no strength to raise her hand, and her voice was weak and almost inaudible: "I'm just too tired..."

He Qingxiao's movements froze. After a while, he put his hand under her nose and felt the thin breath, and finally felt less afraid.

 But the worry lingers.

  Excessive fatigue may be followed by illness.

 You must return to the city as soon as possible. Only when you return can you have a doctor, a comfortable place to live, and plenty of medicine.

He Qingxiao picked up Xinyou and walked out of the cave in the dark.

The cave is winding and quiet, so you must be careful every step you take to avoid accidents. After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, a light suddenly appeared in front of us.

He Qingxiao quickened his pace and walked out.

Outside the cave, there was gurgling water and lush vegetation. Several wild deer were frightened and fled when they heard the noise.

 The coldness in the cave suddenly dissipated, and what fell on me was the warm sunshine that cleared up after the rain.

He Qingxiao looked around and frowned.

 There are green mountains as far as the eye can see. It may take some time to get out.

 He looked down at the person he was holding.

Her hair was spread out and dripping wet, her clothes were also wet, clinging to her slender body, and the makeup on her face was in a mess, like a tabby cat.

He Qingxiao searched for it for a while, then placed Xin You on a large, flat stone by the stream. He took out a handkerchief that had already been wet from his arms and washed it a few times. He wiped her face clean little by little, revealing her original appearance.

 The girl's face was without a trace of blood, pale and fragile, like loose clouds in the sky.

He Qingxiao couldn't help but sniff her nose again.

 Breathing a little light, but still steady.

"Miss Xin, let's find a way out." He said, picked up the unconscious girl, and walked forward after careful reasoning.

It was getting dark gradually, and there were still endless mountains in sight, and the faint roars of wild beasts could be heard.

He Qingxiao knew that he could not continue walking, so he found a nearby cave. Fortunately, the fire stick in his arms did not fall off, so he picked up some dead branches and built a bonfire.

The warmth brought by the fire dispelled the coldness in the cave, but Xinyou still had a fever this night. "Cold..." She murmured, raising her hand to grab something aimlessly.

He Qingxiao held the hand and touched her forehead.

 The burning sensation on his fingertips worried him.

　　The handkerchief was soaked in the cool stream water and placed on her forehead to cool down. In the light of the fire, you could see her cheeks were blushing.

“Miss Xin, hold on, we can get out of here tomorrow.”

As long as they walk out of the mountains, even if they don't meet anyone searching for and rescuing them, they will be much better than they are now.

Xin You didn't completely lose consciousness at this time. She even felt that she was very awake, a bit like the state when she was drunk.

He talks a lot and dares to say anything.

 “Master He, aren’t you cold?”

He Qingxiao was not sure whether the girl who asked him with her eyes closed was just saying it out of sheer fever, or whether she was really asking him.

 But he still answered patiently: "I'm not cold."

Xin You opened her eyes with difficulty, full of doubts but confident: "You're not cold, why don't you hug me? That way I won't be cold."

 He Qingxiao: “…”

 I’m sure, Miss Xin is talking nonsense.

He couldn't help but think of the time when she was drunk. She seemed sober, but in fact, when she spoke, he was at a loss as to what to do, fearing that he would hear earth-shattering words the next moment.

"Master He?" The girl who couldn't wait for the answer called him and closed her eyes again.

"I am here."

 “Your name is very nice.”

He Qingxiao paused and said warmly: "Then you can call me by my name from now on."

 “That’s not good.”

"Why?"

 “Just like you wouldn’t call me Ayou.”

He Qingxiao was silent for a moment.

 He looked at the drowsy girl under the firelight and knew that she had no idea what she was talking about.

 In this case, there is no harm in following her.

 “Ayou.” A low voice sounded, but it was particularly clear in the quiet cave.

 The girl's closed eyes trembled, obviously she heard it.

 “My mother would call me that.” Her voice was very soft, as if she was whispering.

He Qingxiao's heart softened and she called Ayou again.

Xin You wanted to open her eyes and look at the second person in the world who called her "Ah You", but her eyelids were heavy.

 She gave up her struggle and moved her lips: "Then I still can't call you 'Qingxiao'."

 “Why?” He Qingxiao couldn’t help but ask.

"It's a pity that there is no one leaning on the building together in the clear moon..." The half-awake girl muttered a poem from an unknown poetry collection.

He Qingxiao was startled: "Do you think the meaning is bad?"

 There are no parents in his memory, and he doesn’t know what a strict father and a loving mother would be like. Therefore, I never thought about the meaning of the name given by my parents.

 There is no difference between Qingxiao and Yuanxiao to him.

It turns out that Miss Xin thinks this name is not good.

He Qingxiao licked her lips, feeling a little astringent in her heart.

"No." Xin You denied. The discomfort caused by the fever made her frown, and her voice was light and unintelligible. "Master He is so smart. If I call you Qingxiao, you will find out that I like you..."

 That would be bad.
