Chapter 68: Saving a Life
Qin Liu, fleeing in disarray, ultimately chose to escape to the rooftop.
Here, with no one else around, the warm sun could help her calm down.
At this moment, she cradled her reddened and hot little face, walking along the eaves, repeating to herself.
“Crazy, crazy! I must be crazy! Mmm…”
Let’s rewind the clock half an hour earlier.
Not long after Qin Liu had fallen asleep, she felt something constantly pushing her.
She initially thought it was Liu Haoyu calling her to wake up, but upon opening her eyes, she discovered it was Liu Haoyu’s prized yellow book… no, the black book, slapping her arm.
Before Qin Liu could figure out what was happening, the black book’s voice echoed in her mind.
“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!”
The voice was very urgent, indicating that something had indeed happened.
Qin Liu rubbed her sleepy eyes and then asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Liu Haoyu is in trouble!”
The words on the black book appeared very urgent.
After writing this line of bloody text, it flew to Liu Haoyu’s bedside.
The scene seemed to be signaling Qin Liu to come closer
Upon hearing that Liu Haoyu was in trouble, although she didn’t quite understand, she rushed to Liu Haoyu’s bedside as quickly as possible.
At this moment, she finally noticed something unusual about Liu Haoyu.
This man was covered in sweat, his body was constantly convulsing, and for some reason, his lips were very pale and devoid of any color.
“Quick, lift his blanket!”
Prompted by the black book, Qin Liu yanked off the air-conditioned blanket covering Liu Haoyu.
As the blanket was removed, Qin Liu finally understood why the black book was so urgent.
Liu Haoyu, lying on the bed, was in a very abnormal state, appearing as if he had a nightmare.
Even more bizarrely, his own hands were tightly strangling his neck.
The force was so great that the veins on the back of his hand even bulged.
Normally, a person cannot strangle themselves to death.
But Liu Haoyu’s current situation was clearly beyond normal. If he continued like this, he could indeed strangle himself to death!
“What’s wrong with him!?”
“It’s the Red Gate!”
The black book told Qin Liu.
“He’s being entangled by the Red Gate in his dream, but first, we need to find a way to pry Liu Haoyu’s hands off.”
“Okay!”
Qin Liu dared not neglect. She grabbed Liu Haoyu’s arm.
However, no matter how hard she tried, his arms were as if glued to his neck, completely immobile.
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s face turning darker and the frequency of his convulsions increasing.
In less than a minute, his body went from stiff to limp, already in shock.
If this continued, Liu Haoyu would die from suffocation.
Even more critically, even though he was in shock, his arms did not loosen, as if controlled by something.
And it was possible that before he suffocated to death, his own hands could break Liu Haoyu’s neck.
It was too late to call for help now.
The situation was extremely urgent, and Qin Liu could only place her hope in the all-knowing black book.
Perhaps it had a solution.
The black book did not disappoint Qin Liu’s hopes.
“This won’t work! Take out your lantern and place it close to Liu Haoyu’s arm.”
“Got it!”
Without a word, Qin Liu took out her lantern and placed it on Liu Haoyu’s arm.
Then, Qin Liu noticed some black substance slowly flowing out of Liu Haoyu’s arm and being absorbed by the lantern.
Did it look like some kind of remnant soul?
Was it from that Faceless Ghost Child?
While Qin Liu was thinking, the black book seized the opportunity when the dream was being disrupted and shouted.
“I’ll help you!”
Before the words fell, it forcefully slapped Liu Haoyu’s face.
“Slap!” The sound was very loud, and the echo took a full three seconds to dissipate in the room.
“That feels good.”
For some reason, Qin Liu felt that this slap from the black book was genuinely to save him, but also to take the opportunity for revenge.
But the matter was not over. At this time, due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, Liu Haoyu had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped beating.
If nothing was done during his shock, he would still die.
Now, not only the black book but Qin Liu also thought of a very common, yet not very frequently used, emergency measure.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.
“Hoo…”
Without any hesitation, Qin Liu decisively straddled Liu Haoyu.
With one palm placed on Liu Haoyu’s chest and the other hand placed on top of the first, crossed and stacked, Qin Liu began to press continuously with rhythm and depth.
According to the standard emergency procedure, after every thirty compressions, she would bend down and perform two rescue breaths.
Qin Liu never expected that the first aid training she received as a teacher in her previous life would be useful at this moment.
Finally, after continuous compressions and repeated artificial respiration, Liu Haoyu finally regained his normal heartbeat.
“Cough, cough, cough!!”
The violent coughing startled Qin Liu, who quickly got off the bed.
At this moment, she finally came to her senses about what she had just done.
The more she thought about it, the deeper her shame and the blush on her face became.
“This is saving a life, this is saving a life…”
Even though she kept mentally reassuring herself, the lingering touch on her lips made her thoughts even more chaotic.
In the end, ignoring whatever Liu Haoyu said, she let out a mournful cry and fled the scene.
“This is saving a life, this is saving a life…”
Sitting on the eaves, Qin Liu continued to reassure herself.
Although a little embarrassed, saving a life was indeed the priority.
This little bit of shame was nothing.
Thinking about it, in her previous life, hadn’t she even sacrificed her life to save someone?
After thinking it through, Qin Liu’s mood improved quite a bit.
Although the blush on her face had not faded, it looked reddish in the sunlight, making her very cute.
“Where did that little ghost go?”
As Qin Liu dangled her feet, Liu Haoyu’s voice sounded from under the eaves.
“Well… I know the first time is important for girls.”
He seemed to be talking to the black book?
Didn’t he have no way to talk to the black book before?
Qin Liu curiously lowered her head to look. As expected, in Liu Haoyu’s hand was that black book.
This man looked around, seemingly looking for Qin Liu.
“Above me?”
Upon hearing the black book’s instructions, Liu Haoyu looked up.
Seeing that the man had spotted her, Qin Liu hid her shyness and put on an indifferent expression, waving and smiling.
“Looks like you’re okay now.”
“Mm…”
Liu Haoyu looked up, stroking his chin, seemingly contemplating something.
“Hmm?”
Qin Liu put on an OvO? expression, then she suddenly remembered something, and quickly pulled down her skirt.
But it was too late.
Liu Haoyu, after his appraisal, nodded thoughtfully.
“Band-aids with white stockings, nice…”
