After a short while, she returned carrying a tray with the hot soup on it. Since Wesley’s seat was


    nearest to the ce where the soup was being served, ir had to pass him on her way back to the


    table.


    Just when she was walking by him, a boy, who was fighting yfully with his friend, identally


    stepped on a banana peel and fell towards


    ir.


    “Shit!” the boy cried as he copsed onto her.

    “Aah!” ir screamed as the hot soup spilled all over her bare arm.


    The bowl and the tray thudded onto the floor.


    The loud noise attracted everyone’s attention.


    Someone had grabbed her arm in time. She Looked back and saw that it was Wesley.


    If it weren’t for him, the entire bowl of soup would have spilled all over the upper part of her body. And


    probably all over her face too.

    Thanks to Wesley, only one third of the hot soup spilled onto her arm.


    In an instant, ir’s arm was scalded. It turned red and swelled, and her face went pate.


    Wesley let go of her arm, and quickly unscrewed the Lid from the bottle of water Talbot had drunk from.


    He took her arm again and pulled her to the nearest trash can, dumping water onto her arm to cool the


    burn


    The student who bumped into ir was scalded by the hot soup too. Some of the soup had sshed


    on his chest and legs. Worse, it was summer and he was dressed in shorts and a T-shirt. So he was


    now groaning in pain on the floor.


    Many students around were still in a daze as everything happened so quickly. Luckily, Talbot and the


    other soldiers reacted quickly and took charge of the situation. Some of them handed their bottles of


    water to Wesley one by one, while the others began tofort ir


    “Does it hurt?”


    “ir, are you okay? Oh, my God. Your arm is so red now…”


    The noise of the crowd snapped Joslyn back to her senses. She shot to her feet and ran to ir’s side.


    “Bless, you okay? Let’s see your wound,” she said worriedly.


    Face still pale, ir shook her head, though tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. She gritted


    her teeth and reassured her friend in a weak voice, “Don’t worry. I’m okay.”


    Wesley knitted his brows and cast her a sidelong nce, wondering if she was pretending to be strong.


    But her face was already white as a sheet. And strangely, her pained expression made his heart ache a


    little bit…


    Students ringed around the boy on the floor; some came forward to help him to his feet. He pulled up


    his T-shirt to check his scalds. His chest was just a little red, andpared to ir’s wound, it wasn’t


    worth mentioning.


    Wesley had gone through all the water bottles he had been given. He still felt it wasn’t enough. So he


    grabbed her hand and led her towards the nearest sink in the cafeteria, while giving Talbot orders.


    “Talbot!


    Go buy some aloe vera cream.”


    “Yes, Chief!” Talbot responded and turned on his heels to carry out his orders.
