I opened my eyes and nodded at Shannon, signaling her that I was okay.
I wanted to sit up, but Theo suddenly picked me up princess-style.
Although both our clothes were soaked, it was August and not very cold. With Theo's slightly warmer body temperature, I actually felt warm all over.
However, I was more embarrassed than anything else. We were very close and could distinctly hear each other's heartbeat.
My face was a little flushed as I said in a muffled voice, "Put me down."
Theo ignored me. Seeing that the rain was
not as heavy, he carried me and ran out of the tent.
After running into Shannon’s and my tent, he put me on the bed and said mildly," Quickly change out of your clothes and go t o sleep."
I nodded dazedly. "Okay."
Theo looked deeply at me before turning around to leave the tent.
As soon as he left, Shannon came in.
She found the bag with our clothes and handed it to me, saying a little worriedly," Quickly change out of your wet clothes. I hope you won't catch a cold. Should I go to the village to buy you some medicine to prevent you from catching a cold?"
She got up and planned to walk out after saying that.
I quickly held onto her. "No. The villagers must be asleep by now. I don't feel cold at all, so I probably won't catch a cold. What about you? Have you forgotten that you're soaked too?"
