"How can I help you?"
"Wheelchair."
Qiao Ai lowered her head to look at the wheelchair. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the front wheel of the wheelchair was stuck in the drain.
With her strength, she definitely wouldn't be able to lift it out.
"Do you live nearby? Where's your family? " I'll go…" Qiao Ai asked him. She stepped on the grass and stopped in front of him. She felt that she was being rude, so she quickly swallowed and continued,""I'll get someone to help you!"
"Did I scare you?" He stretched out his pale hand and gently covered half of his face that was wearing a mask. His expression was indifferent. He was probably already used to the strange gazes of others.
"I'm sorry." Qiao Ai laughed dryly. She really didn't do it on purpose. It was normal to be shocked when she saw that the man was wearing half a mask. The sunlight was too blinding. She squinted and saw that the man was a young man. She thought he was an uncle. If she didn't look at the side of his face that was wearing the mask, the normal side of his face was very handsome. It could even be described as beautiful, especially his slightly upturned red phoenix eyes. Coupled with the Tang suit he was wearing, it was extremely tasteful and also had an indescribable charm.
"Then will you still help me?" he asked, his voice light.
"Of course. Where does your family live? I'll go and shout. There was no one along the way.”It was a little far to return to the guard office.
"There!" He pointed in the direction. His hands were fair and slender under the black Tang suit. With the sunlight, they were almost transparent.
Qiao Ai looked in the direction he was pointing at. It was also the direction she was heading to. In the forest, a corner of a white, pointy roof could be seen. It was still quite a distance away.
"I'll go get someone. Wait for me." After Qiao Ai finished speaking, she ran in that direction.
After running a few steps, she stopped and turned around. The man kept looking at her.
Under the sun, it was obviously extremely hot, but she could see the loneliness on his body.
She glanced at the path she came from. It was less than 50 meters away from the shade of the tree. There were stone chairs for people to rest under the shade.
It would definitely take her more than ten minutes to go back and forth.
In such hot weather, it was unbearable to stay for even a second. If he continued to wait, wouldn't he be roasted?
It was already pitiful enough that he was disabled and disfigured.
Her compassion was so overwhelming that she could not leave calmly. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and ran towards the man in the wheelchair.
The man in the wheelchair stared at her without saying a word.
"I'll help…Forget it, I'll carry you to a cool place to wait.”She wanted to help him up, but he might not even be able to stand up. That would hurt. With her physical strength and the fact that this man looked quite thin, there should be no problem at this distance!
Her words caused a slight change in the man's calm face.""You want to carry me?"
"En, don't worry. I often work out, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to carry you.”It was a virtue to be willing to help others. Qiao Ai did not think too much about it. She walked up to him and half-squatted."Don't be afraid. I'll try first. I won't fall.”
The man in the wheelchair didn't move. He stared at Qiao Ai's thin figure in a daze.
"Come, lie on my back. Don't be afraid!”Qiao Ai had taken care of her younger brother and sister since she was young, and now she was taking care of Si Han. These words came naturally and she didn't think much of it. She only treated him as a disabled person who needed help.
Just as Qiao Ai was about to turn around and persuade him, he moved. With a rustling sound, she felt a weight on her back and her body involuntarily shrank.
He was a little hesitant, but he still reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck. A fragrance mixed with sweat entered his nose, but it was not unpleasant.
Qiao Ai had been wailing in her heart ever since he laid on her back. He looked thin, but he was not tall. He had the weight he should have. To her surprise, compared to her body that was hot under the sun, his body was much cooler. There was even a nice minty scent on him.
But no matter what, she had already said it to this point. She gritted her teeth and insisted.
"I'm up, don't be afraid!" After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and slowly got up.
Her face, which was already red from the sun, turned even redder.
Just like that, she carried the man who was taller than her with great difficulty and walked towards the stone chair in front of her.
Every step she took was filled with her tenacity and sweat.
Sweat dripped down from her forehead, and her breathing became heavier. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She swore in her heart that she would never force herself to do good deeds again.
He was very quiet on her back. Only his light breathing brushed past her ears, which was instantly replaced by the hot wind.
It was a distance that could be covered in a few blinks of the eye, but she walked for more than a minute.
After placing him on the stone chair, her legs went limp and she sat on the ground, panting heavily.
He stared at her silently. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees and shone on her body.
The wind blew, the trees moved, and his heart inexplicably beat a few times.
His slender hand suddenly reached for her face.
Qiao Ai paused and looked at him in confusion.
In her surprise, he gently tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled."Don't try to be brave in the future."
"Thank you." he added.
"You're welcome. You look quite thin, but I didn't expect you to be so heavy. However, I used to carry my brother before, so he's much heavier than you.”Qiao Ai steadied her breathing and stood up."You wait here. I'll go get someone. I'll be quick.”
"Alright." The man nodded lightly.
Qiao Ai had just taken a small step when the man's voice came from behind her.""What's your name?"
"Me?" Qiao Ai turned around and smiled brightly."My name is Lei Feng!"
With that, she ran away with a smile.
The man laughed softly and watched the woman's figure disappear before his eyes.
" Qiao Ai…" He called her name softly, each time more gentle than the last.
The wheelchair man was pointing in the direction of Mansion Number Five.
However, there was no one living in Mansion Number Five. She walked around, but there was not even a ghost.
She walked forward for a while and finally saw an old man walking with a cane.
"Mansion Number Five has been sealed up for a long time. No one has lived in it for several years.”the grandpa replied.
Qiao Ai was dumbfounded. The guard didn't tell her that Mansion Number Five was empty!
"I live in the nearest villa number six. I'm the only one at home. My son is overseas and hasn't been back for a long time!”The grandpa sighed."As for the man you're talking about, I've been here for so long and I've never seen him before! Miss, are you looking for the wrong place? Villa No. 4 is at the other end, quite far.”
Qiao Ai was speechless. Not only had she not found her sister, but there was also an unidentified man. She thought about how the man's body was still cool under the hot sun. Did she meet a ghost?
She shook her head vigorously. She was really daydreaming. How could a ghost appear in broad daylight, and under the hot sun! Moreover, that man was so important.
After confirming that the old man's villa was still some distance away and that there were only two maids at home, she decisively bade farewell to the old man and ran back in large strides. She had better go to the guard for help.
