Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Could Die at Any Moment (1)
Yang Tao was already washing her hands at the faucet. Hearing this, she flicked her hands dry while turning to look at her. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao’s confused face, her cheeks chubby and still holding some leftover embarrassment, she suddenly realized something and asked Ruan Jiaojiao, “Little Frog, you’re not twelve yet, right?”
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded and, with her support, walked to the faucet, lowered her head, and washed her hands while asking, “What’s wrong?”
Not yet twelve years old and already in high school with such good grades, truly a little genius, Yang Tao felt a wave of guilt rising in her heart. She hurriedly waved her hand, feeling that her previous words were somewhat leading the flower of the nation astray, and quickly changed the topic.
Ruan Jiaojiao found her inexplicable but didn’t think much of it and wanted to turn off the faucet after washing her hands.
The faucet had been used for many years, with a layer of rust on it, cylindrical in shape. When Ruan Jiaojiao exerted force, it cracked, and her thumb was immediately cut with a big gash across. If it weren’t for the rust making it a bit blunt, it might have severed her thumb.
Even though it didn’t sever, it still left a deep cut. Blood gushed out with the water, and the broken faucet sprayed water all over her.
Yang Tao was standing just a bit behind her, and both of them were sprayed with water, simultaneously screaming out loud.
Xiu Xi outside almost immediately smelled the blood, his face changed drastically, loudly shouting Ruan Jiaojiao’s name, and the next second, regardless of it being the girls’ restroom, he rushed in.
Luckily, no one else was in the restroom at that moment, only Ruan Jiaojiao and Yang Tao standing by the faucet.
“Brother Xiu, why did you come in!” Ruan Jiaojiao and Yang Tao were retreating from the spraying faucet, thinking of how to block it, when they saw Xiu Xi rush in, and while they were both shocked, Xiu Xi scooped Ruan Jiaojiao up and carried her out of the restroom.
“Oh my, what bad luck! Of all times to break, why now!” Yang Tao followed them out, also soaked, shouting as she went.
Over at the front door of class one, Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu, who hadn’t left yet, saw this and hurried over, too.
“What happened?” Ruan Lei asked, seeing her soaking wet, wearing a light-colored dress, with her inner garments visible, and quickly took off his shirt to cover her up.
Yang Tao was wearing dark clothing, so even though she got wet, it wasn’t much of an issue.
As soon as Xiu Xi set Ruan Jiaojiao down, he was looking at her hands. She had used her thumb and forefinger to turn the faucet, so both fingers were cut. It wasn’t very serious, but with the blood mixed with water, it appeared particularly severe.
In Xiu Xi’s eyes was an almost uncontrollable fury, a rage that wanted to destroy everything!
“Oh my gosh, Little Frog, how did you get cut so badly?” Yang Tao only just noticed Ruan Jiaojiao’s fingers were injured and said urgently, “Was it the faucet? It’s all rusty; shouldn’t we go to the hospital to clean the wound?”
“We should get a tetanus shot,” Lu Zishu said with a frown. “Brother Xiu, you take Jiaojiao to the hospital first, and I’ll handle asking for leave from the homeroom teacher.”
Xiu Xi’s face was very unpleasant, and he didn’t speak, but his aura inexplicably made people feel oppressive. Lu Zishu intended to say something else, but when he saw Xiu Xi’s eyes and expression, he instinctively swallowed his words back, even feeling like Xiu Xi’s current demeanor was terrifying enough to kill someone.
