Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 165

“What?” Julie suddenly turned her head to look at Kieran, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Kieran calmly drove, answering her, “At that time, Ben licked your neck, which led to an allergic reaction. Of course, I was just a kid back then. I didn’t know you were having an anaphylactic shock.”

“So, what’s this got to do with you kissing me?” Julie looked at Kieran, waiting for his response.

Kieran shrugged innocently, “When I was five and learning to swim, I watched a first aid video. And I thought mouth-to-mouth could save your life…”

“So you performed mouth-to-mouth on me…” Julie nodded, half understanding, “I’m really glad your kiss didn’t kill me!”

“You should be thanking Ben for that.” Kieran said.

“Ben?” Julie looked at Kieran in surprise, then burst into laughter, “So Ben stopped you from performing mouth-to-mouth on me?”

Kieran shook his head, “I still kissed you.”

Julie took a deep breath, “Can’t you tell the story in one go?”

“Then you can’t interrupt me when I’m telling it.”

Julie put her hand over her mouth, showing she would cooperate.

Only then did Kieran continue, “When I bent down to give you mouth-to-mouth, Ben ran home and brought my grandmother. Just as I was about to kiss you, my grandmother picked you up and handed you over to our family doctor. Then my mom called your mom to take you home.”

All Julie remembered was waking up and getting a serious scolding from Darcey. Darcey, in a bid to prevent Julie from such dangers, confiscated all her comic books.

And it was precisely because Julie found it unfair that she later got involved in the incident of getting hit for that ring. Since then, Julie frequently brought up the fact that she got hit in front of Kieran.

After hearing Kieran’s brief and clear description of the entire incident, Julie understood. She turned to Kieran and asked, “So, the time after you won the interschool championship… was actually our second time…”

“It was the third time.” Kieran interrupted Julie before she could finish.

Julie’s counting fingers froze in mid-air.

“The third time?” She extended another finger and looked at Kieran, “When was the second time?”

Kieran didn’t answer Julie’s question, but looked at her and said, “Do you remember the tombstone we made for Ben?”
