Daniel Green looked at Bella Green, as nervous as a student meeting their teacher. Bella gave him a cursory glance, then walked over to an empty patch of grass nearby and sat down cross-legged. Seeing this, Daniel quickly followed suit, mimicking Bella’s posture and sitting down cross-legged. Bella gave him another cursory glance and tossed a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some cotton swabs into his lap. The young man looked at the items in his lap, then at the girl beside him, stupefied for a moment. So, wasn’t she going to apply the medicine on him? "What kind of look is that? You want me to do it for you?" Bella looked at him with a strange expression. Daniel’s cheeks turned red, and he quickly shook his head, then lowered his head, embarrassed as he picked up the bottle, unscrewed it, dabbed a cotton swab in it, and attempted to apply it to his face without much success. Bella: "..." How is it possible for you to keep missing? Don’t you know where it hurts? For more chapters visit NoveI[F]ire.net After watching for a while, Bella, unable to bear it any longer, was finally overwhelmed by Daniel’s foolishness. She picked up a cotton swab, dabbed some disinfectant, and applied it to his face. The girl’s series of actions left Daniel stunned, sitting there dumbly, letting the girl apply the medicine for him. The coolness felt very soothing, and then... "Oww, oww, oww, it hurts, hurts, hurts." Daniel rolled away from the girl’s cotton swab, his face grimacing in pain. The alcohol touching the wound brought a cold sensation that quickly turned into a burning pain, nearly making him jump up. Bella frowned tightly upon seeing this. "Come back here or apply it yourself." Hearing the girl’s uncompromising words, Daniel gave her an accusatory glare, looking as aggrieved as a bullied bride. However, just as Bella was about to throw the cotton swab into a nearby plastic bag, he quickly crawled back. His look of resignation made Bella both angry and amused. "Now you know it hurts. Why didn’t you think about that when you were fighting?" Bella spoke disdainfully, but Daniel could clearly feel the increasingly gentle pressure of her hand. Listening to her words, the young man lowered his brows, pursed his lips without speaking. He didn’t want to tell her that the reason he fought with Benjamin Hayes was because of her... On the playground, he had run into Anna Green, whom he hadn’t seen for a while, and wanted to ask how she was doing. Unexpectedly, Benjamin immediately blamed Bella for why Anna couldn’t go home. He even implied that Anna was being bullied by Bella, and Daniel, as her brother, didn’t help at all, watching her being unable to return home. Daniel naturally disagreed, explaining that it had nothing to do with Bella. Thus, the two argued. However, it was indeed Daniel who made the first move because Benjamin’s unjust accusations and charges against Bella... "Bella." He suddenly spoke, and before Bella could respond, he hesitated and then corrected himself with a blush: "Sis." This single word made Bella lose control of her hand’s pressure for a moment, causing Daniel to break into a cold sweat from the pain, yet he didn’t flinch away. Bella saw this, frowned tightly, then withdrew her hand and said, in a detached tone, "You got hit in the head? Need a brain scan at the hospital?" These teasing words made Daniel’s heart ache; she had always wanted him to call her sister... "Do you really hate me?" Second update~ I wonder if none of you cuties read the extra notes? I always mark updates one, two, three, four, so why say I only have two updates? There are two updates at noon, and more in the evening?
