Actually, Ruan Jie wanted to carry her up, but he knew she would definitely refuse, even though carrying her was no harder than carrying a sandbag for him.
Ruan Jiaojiao didnât take it to heart because she thought that if she could endure more than ten days of military training, climbing a mountain shouldnât be a problem.
But soon she was proven wrong, and she really couldnât handle it.
The higher she climbed, the more uneven her breathing became. In the end, she felt a bit short of breath. Her classmates beside her were in a similar state, but her reaction was the most severe, even her face turned a bit pale.
Ruan Jie, after all, was the instructor of the class and couldnât keep an eye on her all the time; he had to take care of all the students. By the time he realized what happened, he only heard a cry of alarm.
"Jiaojiao!"
"Instructor! Instructor!"
Ruan Jieâs heart tightened. He turned his head and saw Ruan Jiaojiao weakly collapsed in Li Yaoyaoâs arms, her small face pale.
Today they were climbing Yueâer Mountain, actually, the altitude was less than 2500 meters, normally there wouldnât be any altitude sickness. But Ruan Jiaojiao had a particularly weak constitution, plus she was upset by Duan Xi this morning, and hadnât eaten anything, which made her reaction so severe.
Ruan Jie quickly ran downhill, but another person ran even faster.
Since most students in the Foreign Language Department were girls, this hiking trip was arranged in the middle, with the departments mostly consisting of boys at the front, and Duan Xi was the one who swooshed past him from behind!
The next second, Ruan Jiaojiao was caught in his arms.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Duan Xi asked, his eyes filled with tension.
Ruan Jiaojiao took a long breath and gasped, "A bit short of breath, headache."
Duan Xi took out a pill from his pocket and instructed Ruan Jie, who had arrived at the side, "Pour a cup of water."
"..." Ruan Jie took Ruan Jiaojiaoâs water bottle from his backpack, poured half a cup of water into the cap, and handed it over.
Duan Xi took it naturally and fed the pill to Ruan Jiaojiao with the water, soothing her, "Youâll feel a bit better after taking the medicine."
Ruan Jiaojiao obediently swallowed the pill and drank the water.
"Rest here for twenty minutes." Ruan Jie said to the ones with him, and the entire group stopped and rested where they were.
"Instructor Ruan, take Jiaojiao over there to rest for a while." After Ruan Jie finished with the walkie-talkie, Li Yaoyao stepped forward and pointed to a relatively flat area nearby, where a piece of floral cloth they needed for the climb was already laid out.
Ruan Jie nodded, then looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, "Feeling better? Want me to carry you over to rest for a while?"
After taking the medicine, Ruan Jiaojiao felt much better. She turned her head to look at Duan Xi, who had already picked her up and was walking over. Her originally pale face couldnât help but show a hint of redness.
In a small voice, she asked, "Brother Xi, why are you here?"
"Wasnât assured," Duan Xi replied, his gaze still glued to her face, carefully observing.
Duan Xi had checked the altitude here in advance.
The place they used to live didnât have high altitudes, the tallest mountain theyâd climbed was only a few hundred meters, so Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât experienced any reaction.
However, Ruan Jiaojiao had a very fragile constitution, and he was too worried about her, so he went to Dr. Qin the night before for some medicine, which he didnât expect heâd have to use.
