“Did I speak too much?” An Xiulan asked later.

Han Zixin looked at her and sighed. “You should never be sorry for holding your opinions. You shared your opinion and they shared theirs. It’s as simple as that. Why are you overthinking so much?”

An Xiulan stared at him for a while and then nodded her head. “You are right. I am thinking too much.”

“Do you wanna come down?” Han Zixin asked her.

An Xiulan, who was sitting on the big rocks by the side of the creek, looked at the water and quickly shook her head. While all the students were playing in the water, she was sitting far away..

“Are you sure?” Han Zixin asked her again. He felt like something was off about her but he couldn’t tell what.

An Xiulan nodded her head. She was not going to take a step in the water. She was scared. It took her a while to get comfortable with taking a bath in the bathtub. And she would never dare to take a bath in a bathtub if she was alone. As long as she was sure that Meimei, her personal maid, was around, she would only take a bath in the bathtub then. Thus, she was usually comfortable with showers only.

She couldn’t explain her fear of water bodies to anyone.

“Then, I will be around. Call my name if you need me,” Han Zixin said as he left to play ball with the boys in the water.

She saw from afar how all boys and many girls were having fun playing ball in the water. They were splashing water at each other and laughing to themselves.

“Xiulan! Come,” Song Xueyun said as she looked at An Xiulan who was sitting far from them on the big rock, quite away from the water.

An Xiulan shook her head. She mouthed, “I can’t!”

Song Xueyun assumed that An Xiulan might be on her period and that was the reason why she was sitting far and thus, she didn’t let anyone call the girl to play.

“Can you pass my clothes?” Song Xueyun asked after an hour when all of them were too tired to play in water anymore.

An Xiulan, who didn’t want to move from her place, mustered the courage to grab Song Xueyun’s clothes from the other side to pass her. However, as she was walking to the other side, Lu Xuan suddenly appeared before her and startled her. The stones and rocks on this side were slippery. She didn’t understand when her feet slipped and she fell into the water with a splash.

A chuckle escaped his throat when he saw how she was pretending to die in the water. If he didn’t know her better, he would have thought that she had a water phobia or something. But he knew the truth. When they were young, they used to play in a pool that was deeper than this creek for a long time. She was a better swimmer than her.

“Come on, Teeny, stop acting,” Lu Xuan said with a snort. “If you want to make me feel guilty, it is not working.”

An Xiulan on the other hand felt as if she couldn’t breathe at all. It was as if someone was choking her to death. Suddenly, her body started aching. It felt as if tiny shards of glasses were piercing deep into her skin. She saw blood colouring the water. She could sense her life leaving her body slowly and painfully. She felt immense cold all of a sudden, her body organs begin to freeze.

Han Zixin, who was returning after changing into dry clothes with other boys, paused in his footsteps when he saw her struggling to breathe in water. A look on the shore, Lu Xuan standing there with a frown and his hands on his waist, seemingly saying something to her. He ran instinctively, first of all, he punched Lu Xuan so hard that the boy’s nose started bleeding and then in a swift motion, he picked her trembling and cold body in his arms. He could feel that something was wrong with her and so he shouted for help.

The guards, who were lurking somewhere, came out before the teachers when they heard a voice. They took the little girl from the boy’s arm and another two ran towards the boy who was bleeding badly.

“What happened here?” The teachers came running out of their tents. They were tired after covering such a long distance by feet and now they heard a commotion. Their eyes widened when they saw two injured kids.

“Tell us, what happened there?” The teacher asked.

“Sir, Lu Xuan pushed An Xiulan into the water and Han Zixin punched Lu Xuan for hurting her,” A daring student reported the matter.

Lu Xuan, who was wiping his nose, didn’t bother to give an explanation.

The guards were vexed. They didn’t know who to blame other than themselves. They weren’t allowed near children because of the summer camp rules and before they could act, the damage was already done and they didn’t know how to tell their Madam about the situation here.

An Qinyan had warned them that the twins would fight with each other. But who would have thought that Lu Xuan would straight-on push An Xiulan into the water? Everyone back home knew how she stayed far away from water bodies, be it swimming pools or underwater hotel places. She always avoided them.

“Han Zixin, you shouldn’t have punched Lu Xuan, “The teacher scolded him. He turned to Lu Xuan and sighed. He didn’t even know what to tell the brother who pushed his sister into the water. This was a family matter and he knew better than to interfere in it. Although the episode took place under their supervision, they would be blamed. But what could they do other than scolding children?

A student like Lu Xuan who was neither scared of rod nor scolding… What could they do in his case?
