"Wake up..."
Oh no, what should she do? James Lu seemed to be seriously injured, his face was even beginning to turn red!
"Don't scare me!" As Elizabeth Liang said this, she couldn't help but start to sob, and her big eyes welled up with tears. "If I knew this was gonna happen I wouldn't have tried to take it back... Please wake up!"
For a second she thought the man on the ground was smirking a little. But when she looked again she knew that it didn't happen.
She patted his face a little harder, but there was still no sign of him waking up.
"What should I do?" Anxiety washed over Elizabeth. She wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to calm down, then she began carefully recalling rescue measures to concussive injuries.
Suddenly, Elizabeth got up and ran to the sofa to grab a pillow. Then she rushed back and put the pillow under James's legs so that his feet were higher than his head. Then she began to unbutton his shirt in order to ensure he could breathe freely. However, her hands were trembling violently from panic, so it took her quite a while to finish unbuttoning two buttons under his neck.
James's face seemed to be getting redder and redder. After all that fussing about, Elizabeth only assumed that his blood was having trouble circulating. So she reached out her trembling hand and pinched him hard in his cupid's bow.
She gave it her all! But he still wasn't conscious!
She pinched it again, even harder! His eyebrows moved a little, but he still didn't seem to be waking up at all!
"Why won't you wake up? I'm dying over here!" Elizabeth had run out of ideas, so her face dropped as she burst into tears again. "Wake up, okay? I'll even let you sue me if you wake up..." She sobbed.
As she cried, an idea suddenly came to her—
"There's only one way left."
Elizabeth hesitated, but she had no other choice. Looking at James's broken lips, she bit her own. "This really was my last resort. I hope you... won't blame me..."
She took a deep breath, then knelt down beside him with an almost tragically solemn expression. She put his head on her knees, held his face, then slowly closed the distance between their heads...
Elizabeth's gentle and faintly sweet breath was getting closer and closer to James's face.
James's eyelids twitched slightly.
Soon enough, her lips were on his!
James, who was pretending to be unconscious this whole time, suddenly opened his dark eyes as if he was struck by lightning!
Was she... forcing a kiss... on him? Immediately after that, a large mouthful of sweetsmelling breath was blown into his mouth...
James, who was completely stunned by this point, absolutely could not handle this sudden gulp of air being forced down his throat.
"Ahem..."
Elizabeth, who was about to take another deep breath, paused when she saw James staring at her with his eyes wide open, apparently conscious.
Elizabeth was too overwhelmed to notice the look in his eyes. Overjoyed, she shouted excitedly, "Oh my god! You're awake?!"
"Ahem... Elizabeth Liang!" How dare she do that to him! God he wanted to beat her up!
But the next second, he was tightly locked in her embrace. "You freaked me out!..." She sobbed.
"..." What the hell was she doing now?
"I'm so glad you're awake! You scared me to death! *Sniff*... I'll... I'll never fight you back again, you seriously... you scared me so much... *sniff*..."
As she cried, tears poured out of her eyes and onto his face and neck like a waterfall.
She was hugging him and crying and laughing like a lunatic, but it was strangely not so annoying. And she repeated "you scared me" several times in a row, making him realize that she was truly terrified.
Now that James was finally awake, Elizabeth finally felt relieved. She couldn't stop the sniffling or the waterworks.
Well... okay, it wasn't too bad to feel valued and cared for by someone else. But... she was knelt right beside his head for the mouth-to-mouth, and she was still holding onto his head!
Most importantly, at this moment, his head was locked between her arms and chest!
