Chapter 7 Thrown Into The Pool
The air in Bali was light and damp. Waves of heat made me restless.
Sheng Yiyi wore a lace swimsuit and kept pressing herself against Feng Si. Her cleavage was so prominent it pulled the eye.
I was afraid of water, so I used feeling unwell as an excuse and lay on the shore to rest.
"Gu Qian, aren't you coming in?" Sheng Yiyi tilted her head, putting on a naive look.
"Still mad about that little thing from before? It was only a game."
She pouted and complained to Feng Si in a spoiled tone. "Feng Si, how about I kowtow to her as an apology?"
I couldn't be bothered to act with this young miss. I turned to leave, but my wrist was clamped like by iron tongs.
"Yiyi already invited you so kindly. Don't be dramatic. Go down and swim with her."
Feng Si yanked my hand and dragged me hard to the pool's edge.
I fought with everything I had.
In the end, Feng Si seemed to run out of patience. He hoisted me onto his shoulder and threw me straight into the water.
The icy liquid flooded my nose at once. The suffocation dragged me back to that swimming class.
Feng Si had done the same.
He had thrown me into the water like trash, right in the middle of my period.
Everyone had stood on the shore, hands on their hips, laughing as I struggled and failed to stay afloat.
Someone had cried out, "Why is she bleeding?"
Feng Si had frowned in disgust. "She dirtied the whole pool. Disgusting."
Back then I had been shaking from the cold, and I only dared to cling to the pool wall.
Without his permission, I couldn't get out on my own.
But this time, I seemed to lose the strength to struggle, and let my body keep sinking...
Just as I was about to fall into darkness, someone hooked an arm around my waist and pulled me to the surface.
"What are you doing?"
The boy from my fantasies still didn't appear.
There was only Feng Si, his face livid, cursing me out.
"Are you fucking looking to die?" He pinned me against the pool wall. The panic in his eyes was clear.
"Didn't you want me dead? I'm just giving you what you wanted."
My voice was wrecked from the water, unusually hoarse.
His pupils shrank. He opened his mouth, but not a word came out.
