Chapter 18: Accidents (2)
When Tide and Xia Chan laughed and passed by Peixiu Bridge, she saw Xiao Ya who happened to be walking over.
She was a little apprehensive in her heart. Never before had she been so preoccupied as if she had done something wrong. As soon as she saw this beautiful girl, the first thing that came to mind was always Jiang Qi, her words, face, expression, and demeanor, and every word he said could be clearly remembered.
Xiao Ya's face was very serious, and her eyes were scattered, as if she was uneasy. Tide knew that he didn't need to say hello to her, so he turned his head and focused on talking to Xia Chan.
The strange thing is that Xiao Ya did not deliberately restrain the tide from moving forward this time, as if she didn't see her, she brushed her and walked in the opposite direction.
Tidal subconsciously felt like something was going to happen. She suddenly remembered that the Peixiu Bridge was a new bridge that had just been built, and the bridge head on the other side of the bridge had not been completely built, and there was a large open space between the bridge and the shore without the installation of bridge railings. When students walk straight here, they will subconsciously avoid falling into the water.
She remembered Xiao Ya's expression, suddenly turned her head, and at the moment when she turned her eyes, the tide heard a panicked cry from the girl and the sound of falling into the water.
"Xiao Ya!" The tide turned around and ran towards the bridge. Xia Chan didn't know what was going on, and followed her with a panicked expression.
"Help! Help me! .......”
The two ran to the shore and saw Xiao Ya already fluttering in the water. The students who passed by around all hurriedly ran over, in a hurry, and their faces were anxious. "Go find a long stick!" Tide turned to them and shouted, "Go to Building 5 and ask the cleaning lady for a big broom or a mop!" ”
The two boys ran to Building 5, and some girls had already opened up the school hospital and ambulance, and some people ran to find the security guards. "Help! I won't...... Can't swim......" Xiao Ya fluttered in the water, she was already soaked, and her face turned pale with fear. Although the artificial lakes of the school are not large, they all have a certain depth, and the tide vaguely remembers that in the first year of school, there was a girl who fell into the lake and drowned after getting drunk at night. At that time, family members came to the school to make a fuss, and the teachers and students of the school were panicked.
The person with the broom was delayed, Xiao Ya's fluttering strength became smaller and smaller, and water was already choking into her throat. There were girls around who were already anxious, and tears fell out. A few of the boys who rushed over tried to go down the slope to Rashoya, but the distance was too far to reach it. "Do you know how to water?" A boy turned his head and shouted at the bridge.
"Xia Chan, help me with my glasses and coat." Tide felt that Xiao Ya was already exhausted. She remembered that when she was a child, the tide took her to learn to swim for a while, and she had never touched the water for so many years, and she couldn't remember whether she could swim or not, but a duck that had been dipped in water might be better than a landlubber.
"Tides! You are crazy! Xia Cicada hurriedly went to pull her, "You will drown!" ”
"Take it. This is what I owe her. ”
Before Xia Chan understood the meaning of her words, the arm she was holding was thrown away by her.
"Tides! Tide! You give me back! ”
The tide slid down the side slope and approached the lake under the stunned gaze of the boys. When she stepped into the lake, what appeared in front of her was not Xiao Ya's frightened face and the lake splashed by her fluttering waves, but the knife on Yangmei's neck that day, the bloody hand she cut herself, the intimate scene when Chaohai and the woman met, and the high-rise building with only one window. And Jiang Qi, who has kept her awake at night these days, the look and tone of his voice, the sudden coincidence of his appearance, the side of his face that glimpsed in the sun, and the sea on the side he took her to see, and the forest on the other side.
A voice sounded in my heart. And the man said, Treadin into this water, and thou shalt owe them.
Tide took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
Riots on the shore are restless. She vaguely heard Xia Chan's crying voice.
The water is cold to the bone. Late autumn at the end of October, her favorite season. At this moment, the lake water was like tens of thousands of ants eating bones, densely surrounding her, and she trembled in pain. Tide struggled to recall vague swimming memories, trying to remember even the slightest trick. Little by little, she approached Xiao Ya and saw that her lips were purple and her eyes were closed, almost as if she was about to die. "Xiao Ya! Xiao Ya! Give me your hand! She opened her throat and shouted, seeing Xiao Ya suddenly open her eyes, looking at her with disbelief.
"Hands!" The tide pushed forward, and there was a sudden tingling in the ankle.
Xiao Ya hurriedly stretched out her arm, and the tide saw a desire to survive on her face. Long before that, she had always thought that people would never see this kind of look on their faces when they were in despair.
She touched Xiao Ya's hand, and she struggled to take a few more steps forward, holding her in her arms completely. "Hold on, let's go ashore."
Xiao Ya was speechless. Her eyes opened slightly, then collapsed and closed.
The tingling pain in his ankle came again, and the tide felt physically and mentally exhausted. She threw herself behind Xiao Ya, holding her with one hand and paddling the water with the other. Her unclear vision was covered with a layer of fog by splashing and soreness, and she dimly saw two boys jumping into the water and moving in this direction. Sitting on the shore seemed to be a summer cicada, and she was wiping something on her face, like a lake, and like tears.
"Hold on, classmate! We'll be right over! ”
Something hot suddenly rushed up to the eye sockets. The boy stretched out his arm, getting closer and closer, and the tide gritted his teeth and pushed Xiao Ya forward.
Cheers rang out from the shore. A boy caught Xiao Ya firmly in his arms, turned around and swam to the shore. Another boy came over to pull the tide.
She only felt that her arm was much lighter in an instant. Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and the misaligned muscles and bones of her ankles and the intense pain had stopped her desire to continue sliding forward. The biting coldness of her whole body slowly obscured the consciousness she had struggled to regain. She heard the familiar whistle of the ambulance when it arrived, heard Xia Cicada's heart-rending cry, and heard the boy shouting loudly and holding on, but she didn't hear her own heavy and disordered breathing like just now.
Before grabbing her arm with both hands, the tide felt the temperature when Jiang Qi buttoned her up that day, and his fingertips touched her neck. When she was in the car that day, her consciousness was actually almost awake, she closed her eyes and listened to Jiang Qi and the driver's talking, and heard his low curse, she didn't know what he was scolding, but she felt inexplicably funny. She could smell the mint cool as he leaned in, and felt the gentle movements as he buttoned her. She didn't know why she was greedy and unwilling to open her eyes, unwilling to stay away from him like before, unwilling to go toe-to-toe with him every time like before.
This feeling is completely different from the three years when I had a silent crush on Qiao Shen before. Qiao Shen is like the sunshine to her, like the sea breeze, soberly telling her his warmth and beauty. And Jiang Qi is different, he is like his surname, her name, like a calm and bottomless river, like a tide rolling day and night, he is full of mysteries, always making her unpredictable, so that she knows that it is an abyss, but she doesn't want to be discouraged.
People say that they are excited, but who can know that it is an accident.
This is the second time I have woken up from a pallor.
The little nurse's delicate face poked over. The tide can clearly see her delicate eyebrow shape, and the right red lip color.
"Awake? A girl at the door has been standing outside for a long time, do you want to talk to her? ”
The tide doesn't need to think about it to know that the summer cicada was at that time. "Yes, thank you, sister nurse."
As soon as the little nurse went out and shouted, the tide saw the summer cicada running in in a hurry. She had two lines of tears on her face and was pale.
"Tide!" She cried out angrily, and then burst into laughter. The scene amused the tides as well. "Damn, this is the second time I've seen you wake up from this big white bed, next time if you dare to come again, I'll strangle you to death in advance."
The tide smiled slightly, and his heart was full of warmth. "It's not coming. How's Xiao Ya? ”
Xia Chan's face drooped when he heard this name, and his tone was very bad. "Thanks to you, alive."
She glanced at Tidal's face, looked down and began to play with her fingers. "The doctor said she was pregnant when she fell into the water, and the baby had already flowed naturally."
Xia Chan's words are like a slap in the face. Tide couldn't have imagined that she was pregnant. Is the child's father Jiang Qi?
Xia Chan seemed to understand her shock and question, and raised her head to straighten the quilt on her body. "It should be Jiang Qi, I don't think Qiao Shen is that kind of person."
The tide doesn't know if it should be happy or sad now.
"I just went to see Xiao Ya, she knows about the miscarriage, but she doesn't seem to have any feelings about it." Xia Chan added. "Jiang Qi shouldn't know about her pregnancy."
He didn't know what it had to do with her. Tidal lowered his eyes and looked at the white patch on the quilt, and his mind was full of thoughts. Anyway, she really paid back the favor she owed him.
"Tides?"
Xia Chan suddenly looked straight at her, and it was the first time that the tide saw her with such a serious look.
"Tell me the truth, do you like Jiang Qi?"
There are thousands of fireworks in my head, and suddenly they explode. Tidal felt that the words on his lips were pushed by an invisible force, and he couldn't say anything. "Am I blind?"
She responded with a wry smile. Xia Chan's gaze did not relax at all. "Our friend for so many years. What can you hide from me? When Jiang Qi's name is mentioned, the light in your eyes is different. A wicked smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "Before you jumped down, tell me that you owe Xiao Ya, what can you owe her?" ”
The tide is dumb. At this point, the language used to defend itself is a little pale.
"Why did you fall in love with him?"
She saw Xia Chan sigh deeply.
