79 Chapter 79- I Saved You (1/2)
In a windowless room, where darkness covered all corners and the sounds of crawling insects could be heard, the girl's eyelashes fluttered rapidly and eyelids slowly lifted. The girl hissed as she felt a sharp pain coming from the back of her head making her feel dizzy. After opening her eyes, she immediately used her fingers to touch her face and looked for any cloth that could be blocking her sight. Nothing.
She gasped in fear and anxiety slowly crept in as she saw nothing, but pitch darkness around her. She couldn't tell whether she had lost her sight or was it the room that was dark. She didn't know where she was or what she should do next because all she could use to support herself is the thick cold wall that she was leaning on.
Her hands wandered around her body to look for anything that could light up or as a tool to face her enemies. What met her cold hands was something warm and soft, another person's limb. Terrified, she retracted her hands slowly as her body trembled and her lowly whispers echoed the room, ”Who's there?” she asked.
”Nana, you're awake” the familiar female's voice rang Nana's ears.
”Ya Nuo!”
”Don't move. You're injured” she reminded her not to waste her energy because nobody knew how long they've been locked in this room and when they could get out.
”How did I get here..? And Nuo, are you alright?” she asked with concern as she moved closer towards Ya Nuo's direction.
Ya Nuo wrapped her arm around Nana warming her cold body up and blew hot breathes on Nana's hands while rubbing them.
Ya Nuo: ”I'm not hurt, but you lost a lot of blood. Luckily I am in male disguise so I took off the bandage from my chest and used it to wrap it around your head. I'm not sure how you got here, but you most likely got attacked and was brought here.”
Nana's breathing pattern was inconsistent due to the cold air that entered the room from outside and the amount of blood loss she had. This felt too familiar. It almost felt as if she traveled back in time to the younger her when she got kidnapped.
Ya Nuo felt Nana's body trembling vigorously as time passed and Nana's consciousness started to fade. Ya Nuo changed positions and hugged her from behind while she sat between her legs. Ya Nuo also took off her uniform jacket and covered Nana from the front while rubbing her body with hers to warm her up. ”Nana, do you feel slightly better?”
Nana nodded in response, ”Nuo… I'm glad I'm with you now. If you were alone, you would feel very scared wouldn't you?”
Ya Nuo replied, ”Silly, I'd rather be alone than have an extra person dragged into this. You probably followed me and got involved right? Do you know how dangerous this is? What if they killed you?”
Nana shook her head, ”I would feel worse if I knew where you were going and what you'll be facing and still do nothing about it. Just that now.. I don't know how long till we will be able to get out of here.”
Ya Nuo whispered slowly into her ears, ”Listen carefully, I can only tell you this once okay? Ever since I planted the app and bug in Hen Qing's phone, I can review her call, texts, and audio records daily. I already knew that she would set this kidnap plan so I purposely came knowing what is waiting for me. I already told my family and Huan Hei about this so they'll know when to come help. I came here to investigate Hen Qing's mother's whereabouts since I heard that she was held hostage. Earlier, I realized that Hen Qing was following us so I had to put on a show to trick her.”
Nana: ”Really? That's great. I forgot to tell you as well. Before I got knocked out, I already sent out an emergency code to my family group chat. My parents will definitely come find me. We'll be saved soon.”
Ya Nuo smiled, ”We came prepared. Now, we only need to stick together till that time comes. I know you're getting tired and possibly sleepy, but your body temperature is getting lower so try your best to stay awake okay?”
The chilliness of the room made Nana dry cough a few times, ”Then..can I tell you a story?”
