Chapter 82: First Aid
It was precisely because of this thought that Lin Tian stopped with his arms open, not daring to move.
"Go ahead and hug, it’s fine!" Bai Shishi naturally noticed the position Lin Tian was aiming at when he crouched down with open arms.
Although she was also shy, compared to fainting from lack of oxygen, what was this?
"Then I’ll hug you!" With Bai Shishi’s permission, Lin Tian silently nodded, his heart full of expectation as he brought his hands behind her.
The softest place will always be a woman’s bottom.
Grinding his teeth, Lin Tian suppressed the impulse, using his arms to lift Bai Shishi up forcefully.
"How about now, can you reach it?" This time, due to the low position he was holding her in, Lin Tian had to maintain Bai Shishi’s body balance and did not dare to raise his head, only voicing his question.
"I can touch it, but how do I remove this steel plate?" Bai Shishi asked, perplexed, as she touched the steel plate with her right hand.
"Try moving it side to side, see if the plate can be shifted?"
Following Lin Tian’s words, Bai Shishi tried moving it side to side: "No, it won’t budge at all!"
"Impossible?" Lin Tian frowned deeply.
"It can move, if you push it upwards, the steel plate will shift!" Bai Shishi exclaimed excitedly after finally trying to push it upwards.
"Then push it quickly!" Hearing Bai Shishi say the steel plate can move, Lin Tian’s frown finally relaxed.
"But it’s still just out of reach!" Bai Shishi said helplessly, her straightened arm could just barely push the plate up, but she couldn’t remove it completely.
"Wait!" Hearing Bai Shishi speak, Lin Tian put in all his strength to lift her before releasing, holding her legs firmly.
In an instant, Bai Shishi was elevated significantly higher.
"Now it should be enough!"
Bai Shishi’s breathing became rapid, and just as she was already struggling to get enough air, she exerted herself which made breathing even harder, and she felt dizzy.
But at this crucial moment, Bai Shishi no longer cared about any of that; if she kept this up, she would eventually faint from lack of oxygen.
Resolutely, she gritted her teeth and quickly removed the steel plate above.
Bai Shishi pushed the steel plate upward with her slender right arm, but with one hand, she could only shift it aside, not remove it. Helpless, she temporarily placed her phone in her pocket, freeing her left hand to join the right in pushing the steel plate.
Sure enough, using both hands together, the steel plate was pushed up; with one hand hooked on a corner, the steel plate immediately tilted, and the other hand quickly took the opportunity to remove it.
Once the steel plate used for protection and decoration was removed, Bai Shishi felt like her lungs were about to burst open.
Her vision blackened, the steel plate in her hand dropped to the floor, and she fainted.
Lin Tian, who had been holding Bai Shishi up, was initially thrilled about removing the steel plate, but when she leaned limply against him after fainting, he realized something was wrong.
He quickly placed her in a corner of the elevator, letting her recline under the vent.
"Miss Bai, Miss Bai, wake up?" Lin Tian shook Bai Shishi’s body, drenched in sweat, calling out: "Open your eyes and look at me, don’t scare me!"
Unfortunately, despite Lin Tian’s calls, Bai Shishi remained unconscious.
Already low on oxygen, with continued physical activity, insufficient oxygen supply led to her fainting, leaving Lin Tian momentarily at a loss.
He immediately took out his phone to shine light overhead, seeing the steel plate removed to reveal the complex mechanics inside, with a fist-sized opening on the far left, the vent.
Seeing the vent, Lin Tian’s heart, which was in his throat, slowly settled back down; at least the steel plate had been taken off.
Although Bai Shishi fainted, enough oxygen could now enter the elevator, eliminating any immediate life threat.
However, as she was unconscious, breathing was a struggle. Experiencing this for the first time, Lin Tian attempted what he’d seen in movies, pressing his right thumb on Bai Shishi’s philtrum, hoping to rouse her while waiting for rescue.
Sadly, after pressing her philtrum for quite a while, the rescue hadn’t arrived, and Bai Shishi didn’t wake up either.
This made Lin Tian panic, unable to merely stare as Bai Shishi lay unconscious and do nothing.
He couldn’t just watch a living person before him without taking any action; if anything truly happened to her, he’d blame himself forever.
"Could it be I have to do that?" Lin Tian muttered a vague phrase only he understood.
"Does it count as taking advantage of her?" Lin Tian laughed self-deprecatingly.
"It’s not the time to think about so many things, is it?"
"I’m doing this to save her, not take advantage. Even if Bai Shishi wakes up and knows what I did, she’d forgive me!" Lin Tian consoled himself.
But he grew more uncertain, unsure if he should actually do that.
"At this point, saving her is the most important!" Finally making up his mind, Lin Tian looked at Bai Shishi’s slightly rosy lips, with a determined face.
Turning off the flashlight function on his phone, the elevator immediately plunged into darkness, with only the sounds of Lin Tian’s heavy breathing and strong heartbeat, along with the faint noises from the elevator cables.
Relying on his senses, Lin Tian swallowed his saliva, his head slowly moving forward, despite the tension in his heart.
Artificial respiration, a method used in emergencies when spontaneous breathing stops, often used for choking, gas poisoning, drug poisoning, drowning, etc.
It involves the rescuer inhaling air, using lung compression to send air into the choking person’s lungs, replacing the person’s breathing.
The most crucial aspect of artificial respiration is that it must be mouth-to-mouth.
And because of this, Lin Tian was nervous.
Although he was doing this to save someone, it was his first experience, having no idea what kissing a woman’s lips would feel like.
As for the thing he said to Liu Chan back then, it was just to provoke him.
Lin Tian’s head moved so slowly, as if a devil, not Bai Shishi, was in front of him.
Though his movements were slow, he knew he couldn’t delay any longer.
Finally, taking a deep breath, he inhaled sharply, forcing the air down to his mouth and throat.
The feeling was indescribably fascinating, almost addictive, not wanting to move away.
Gently prying open Bai Shishi’s lips with his own, lip to lip.
Lin Tian suddenly exerted force from his lower abdomen, thrusting the oxygen in his mouth and throat into her mouth.
Having delivered one breath to Bai Shishi, although he was reluctant to separate their lips, he had to harden his resolve and quickly move his head away.
Taking a deep breath again, he brought his lips back to Bai Shishi’s...
