Chapter 27 - Playground

Upon seeing the pair of legs, I rushed over. My skin was cold, and my heart was ready for the worst.

Was it an accident?

Upon closer examination, I realized it was a girl who had hung herself using her legs as hooks around the steel pole of

the playground's structure.

“Are you fine?” I asked.

“Hi Adam!” came the reply. “Is that you, Adam?”

I looked up to see a face, in an upside-down manner, looking at me.

I recognized that voice.

"Xuan? Is it you?" I called out.

With an agile flip, Xuan sat up on the bar. In a one-two nimble move, she swung herself over the bar and landed squarely in front of me.

“Adam! You came!"

“Oh, Xuan. You frightened me.”

"Why?"

"From afar, I only saw your pair of legs."

"Oh." Xuan smiled awkwardly "I do it all the time."

“It is dangerous."

"I will be fine but I am happy to see you. You kept your promise.”

“ I always do. When I came, I thought you hadn't come.”
