When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 13: Tan Jiao 03 (2)

I took his hand, which was warm to the touch and firm, before standing up. Unexpectedly, he apologized to me. Figuring he had kicked the ball that struck me, I side-eyed him. Youre the one that kicked the ball?

To my surprise, he chuckled and said, Have a seat. Then he turned to Xiaohua and the others. You guys continue without me, Ill check on her. Even though his tone was calm, Xiaohua and the others were still taken aback momentarily before laughing out loud.

Wu Yu ignored them and looked very calm. Compared to him, my face became slightly flushed.

The others finally went away, leaving him and I alone. He stood beside me while I sat down on the steps beside the courts. My knee-length skirt pulled up even more when I sat down, revealing to him the wounds there; bruises and a couple of bloody cuts that felt slightly painful.

There was a brief silence between us.

I questioned, Why did you kick the ball toward me?

He looked me in the eye and said slowly, Who said I did it on purpose?

I became lost for words after hearing that. My heart skipped a beat as a thought sprung into my mind, Damn it, this guy knows how to tease women!

Of course, this could merely be my imagination running wild. I let out a humph and asked, You caused this, so how are you going to fix it?

He replied, I didnt say I would leave you like this. Wait here. He turned and seemed as though he was leaving, so I asked curiously, Where are you going? Why are you leaving me here to roast in the sun? I have to get going.

On the steps at the side were some of their clothing. From underneath a dark-grey T-shirt, Wu Yu took out a black hat. While there was fluff on the brim, the hat looked soft and clean. Then as we stared at each other, a subtle, strange, and mysterious feeling surged in my heart.

He placed the cap on my head, shielding my eyes from the sun. The hand from this unfamiliar man pressed on my head briefly. I felt the strength from his hand through the fabric.

Wear this, he said before leaving.

I did not expect this from him. This was my first time wearing a strangers hat. While it was a little bit big, it still fit me well. A thought sprung into my mind again, is he genuinely good at teasing women? Or is he just different from other guys?

Suddenly, my scalp became extremely sensitive, and I felt numbness along where my skin touched the brim of the hat. It felt as though it was not a hat on my head, but more like someones hand pressing gently on me.

I did not take the hat off. I did not want to. For some reason, I just did not want to.

After about ten minutes, Wu Yu came back with a plastic bag in his hand. Inside was a bottle of water and some medication. To my surprise, he had gone to a nearby pharmacy. Hes attentive and patient.

Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable and turned my head to the side when I caught him glancing at me again. I hesitated when I saw an opened bottle of water appear before me. After a brief moment, I took it and drank from it, Thank you.

Then he said in his deep, husky voice, Wash the dirt from your leg.

Oh Feeling a little embarrassed, I put out my leg like he said and washed the dirt away. He stood in front of me and maintained his gaze, which suddenly made me feel as though the sun had become more dazzling, even with the hat shielding my eyes.

Soon after, Wu Yu sat beside me with only space for half a person between us. Even when sitting, he was still taller than me. He placed the bag with medical supplies on the steps then took a cotton swab out, which he dipped in iodine before handing to me. I took it naturally and applied it to the wound, letting out a hiss after feeling the slight sting.

He watched and kept silent. Even though I felt his gaze on my lower leg, I did not turn to look.
