Chapter 497: Captured!
The way he waved kept flashing past Xue Xi even after so many years.
Perhaps he had already hinted something at this moment?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t read Ji Silin right now. She waved her hand and left with her two roommates.
After she left, Ji Silin stood by the window for a long time. Even when Xue Xi had already disappeared, he still did not look away.
Xixi, I can walk with you up until now.
But the future is too complicated. You can only rely on yourself.
…
…
“What did Doctor Ji say to you?”
On the way back to the dormitory, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia asked about what happened. Xue Xi felt that the hallucinogens were too big an issue, so she secretly told them.
“That’s too scary, isn’t it?” Li Zixia exclaimed. “Who’s so wicked as to harm people like that?!”
Xie Yingying said, “Sister Xi, is this true? Oh my god, I only knew that when I was young, my parents said that I can’t eat the food given by strangers. Is it still so scary even now in college?”
The three of them discussed as they returned to the dormitory.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw two girls from the dormitory next door sitting on the sofa and eating cornelian powder. A foul smell filled the room.
Li Zixia covered her nose. “It stinks!”
The two girls smiled awkwardly and said, “Let’s open the window after eating and spray some perfume, okay?”
They were in the living room. Logically speaking, if they wanted to eat something so heavy, they should ask their roommates for permission. However, if they lived together, they had to accommodate each other.
Xue Xi and Xie Yingying said, “It’s fine.”
After saying that, they prepared to go back to their room. Once they closed the door, they couldn’t smell anything.
However, after taking two steps, one of the girls was sweating from the spicy food. She picked up the drink beside her and opened the bottle cap to drink.
Xue Xi: “!!”
She suddenly walked over and snatched the drink from her. “Don’t drink it yet!”
The other party was stunned.
Xue Xi opened the bottle cap and sniffed it.
Coincidentally, this drink contained hallucinogens.
Even if it was a stranger, Xue Xi would have stopped her, let alone a roommate. She said, “You can’t drink this drink.”
The girl’s name was Sun Kexin, and she was a third-year physics major. When she heard this, she was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
Xue Xi could not say anything as she was afraid of scaring them. She could only say, “There’s something dirty inside.”
Sun Kexin: “??”
She was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Yunqing screamed from the door. “Xue Xi, what do you mean?!”
Gu Yunqing had especially asked about Xue Xi’s residence because she wanted to rush over to see if she regretted it. However, she did not expect to see Xue Xi holding a drink from Jin Peng’s family and saying that there was something dirty inside!
This was too much!
Gu Yunqing said angrily, “Xue Xi, I know that you have a problem with Jin Peng and me. I also know that our public display of affection has triggered you, but what does it matter if you don’t want Jin Peng? Do you need to fabricate such a lie to slander others?”
Li Zixia was furious. “How is Sister Xi triggered? Don’t flatter yourself!”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “Yes, you act as if you don’t care, but if you really don’t care, why would you slander us here? Why? If you don’t want to drink our drinks, fine, but don’t stop others! You’re such a sore loser!”
Gu Yunqing’s voice was a little loud, and it attracted the attention of everyone in the dormitory.
Her claim that there was something dirty in the drink was too fantastical. Most people didn’t believe it, so they believed Gu Yunqing’s words and started to persuade her one by one.
“Xue Xi, that’s enough!”
“It’s indeed immoral to talk about other people’s drinks like that!”
“This beverage was just bought and hasn’t been unsealed. How can there be something dirty inside? Xue Xi, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, don’t vent it on the beverage!”
Others spoke up for her.
“Gu Yunqing, he’s your boyfriend. You can’t control what Xue Xi says in her dormitory, right?”
“Even if Xue Xi is petty and uncomfortable, that’s just a normal person’s reaction. Let’s stop this matter here!”
“…”
Everyone had different opinions, but they generally felt that Xue Xi was wrong.
When she heard this, Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold as she said calmly, “I’m not saying that all the beverages have something dirty. It’s about something else.”
Gu Yunqing sneered. “What else? What do you have to say? Tell us!”
Xue Xi told the truth. “Hallucinogens. You’ll get addicted after drinking them.”
Gu Yunqing was stunned. “What?”
She suddenly recalled that she had been craving for that drink every now and then… but how could that be!
Everyone else was stunned. Sun Kexin stared at the beverage in disbelief. “Xue Xi, are you serious?”
Xue Xi: “There’s some in your bottle. If you don’t believe me, we can check it.”
Sun Kexin did not dare to drink anymore. “I…”
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunqing shouted coldly, “Xue Xi, do you know that this is slander?! I’m going to get the Jin family to send you a lawyer’s letter! You’re completely slandering their family’s reputation!”
She widened her eyes and shouted angrily, “Isn’t it just that Jin Peng stopped pursuing you and ended up with me instead? Do you have to go through so much trouble to frame him?
“You’re too much! How can you say something like that? Is it because your boyfriend isn’t outstanding enough that you’re envious of my boyfriend? Unfortunately, your words have too big of a loophole and are too laughable!
“I originally thought that you were just envious because you didn’t get the goods, but now it seems that you really have evil intentions!”
Gu Yunqing finally managed to get a hold of Xue Xi’s weakness. She looked at the people around her. “You heard it just now. She said that there were drugs in the beverage. When we get to the court, I hope you can testify for me!”
Everyone felt that this was impossible. Xue Xi must have been talking nonsense.
Hence, someone said, “Xue Xi, quickly apologize. It won’t be good if they really sued you in court!”
“That’s right. You can’t say such things carelessly. Xue Xi, quickly apologize…”
Xue Xi felt that this group of people was really annoying.
Every time something happened, they would not believe her.
She put down the drink and said coldly, “Forget it if you don’t want to believe me!”
However, Gu Yunqing did not allow her to return to the dormitory.
She revealed a smug expression. “Xue Xi, do you know how to fear now? Let me tell you, it’s too late! What you said is like spilled water. You must pay for what you just said!”
After saying that, she picked up her phone and called Jin Peng’s number. She even put it on speaker mode. The other party picked up quickly and Gu Yunqing said, “Jin Peng, Xue Xi is spouting nonsense in the dormitory. She said that there’s a hallucinogen in your drink. Contact a lawyer immediately. We want to sue her! Let her know the consequences of spouting nonsense!”
Jin Peng: “?”
On the other side, Jing Fei and a few others were hiding in the student cafeteria.
At this moment, he saw Jin Peng walking out of the canteen. He was making a phone call as he walked. “How is that possible? Our family’s drinks have been sold for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve heard of that. It’s too much! But there’s no need to hire a lawyer for the gossip between girls, right? Isn’t that too exaggerated?”
Gu Yunqing: “Please, you must! I asked her to apologize, but she refused. Let the court teach her a lesson!”
At this moment, Jing Fei ordered, “Go!”
