Chapter 20 Mosquito Repellent

Nolan and a few other student council members brought water up the mountain.

Sitting under the tree Violeta recalled her previous life when she had a severe allergic reaction on her face after using Zelena's sunscreen. Her face had turned ghastly red, and she was too humiliated to face Nolan. She didn't even dare to get water from him

As a result, she ran out of water and was parched all day. At night, she secretly left her tent to drink tap water. She had suffered tremendously during that period.

This time. Violeta would not allow herself to suffer anymore. She took the initiative to get water from the student council. Seeing her, Nolan immediately handed her a bottle

Thanks. Violeta took the bottle and began to leave

However, Nolan suddenly called out to her, "Hey, wait a minute❞

Violeta turned to him again. "What's the matter?"

Nolan handed her a mosquito repellent. "There will be a lot of mosquitoes when you set up tents on the mountain at night. Take this with you.

Violeta looked at the mosquito repellent in Nolan's hand and was stunned.

She knew Nolan was a good person. After all, that was why she liked him in her previous life. However, she did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"Thanks, but I have my own." Violeta declined the mosquito repellant Nolan offered and left.

The other student union members noticed the mosquito repellent in Nolan's hand and were confused. "Nolan, where did you get mosquito repellent? We didn't bring any. Were we supposed to bring it?" Nolan put the mosquito repellent in his pocket. "No, I brought it by myself," He had wanted to give it to Violeta, but since she refused, he had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, the beautifully dressed Zelena approached Nolan to get water

Zelena was not short on drinking water. After all, the school provided everyone with ordinary mineral water. Furthermore, Zelena prepared many nutrient-enhanced beverages to replenish her energy Besides, she did not even participate in military training. Why would she need so much drinking water?
