Chapter 1386: Chapter 1366: Some Feelings Grow Ever New Over Time

The wine’s not the problem? Then is it the cup? But she drank the wine in the cup at the beginning and nothing seemed wrong...

Thinking of this, she felt very strange. It’s impossible that the poison appeared out of thin air, right? If there were energy fluctuations, she would have noticed for sure.

She didn’t feel anything, which fully explains one thing: the poison wasn’t introduced through Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power. It’s not deadly, but it could ruin someone’s reputation.

The key is... what on earth is the person who drugged her trying to achieve?

Is it a guy who desires her but can’t have her, or a girl who bears a grudge?

There are absolutely no clues...

Footsteps sounded behind her. Luo Qianqian instinctively drew her dagger, her face full of vigilance. She relaxed when she saw who it was. "Mo, why aren’t you resting yet?"

"The drug was meant for you, right?" Mo calmly sat on the swing chair next to Luo Qianqian. This swing chair was specially ordered by Elvis for An Hao, and it even came with a seatbelt.

Mo spoke with such certainty, it was not like an unfounded guess, which puzzled Luo Qianqian even more.

"Why do you say that?" Luo Qianqian wasn’t foolish enough to admit it outright. After all, if one person knows, it’s as good as everyone knowing, and by that time, she wouldn’t be able to downplay the matter even if she wanted to.

She never intended to let it go from the start. In her eyes, this kind of act was even more despicable than poisoning.

Poison can be detoxified. If you don’t want trouble with this drug, you could take a cold bath, but if so, it might cause other issues, like infertility or death from hypothermia...

Such behavior is clearly more abhorrent; it could harm someone’s reputation and affect their health.

"You have a scent on you," Mo calmly looked at the starry sky. The city’s night sky was gray and only a few stars were visible, shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened instantly. She lifted her arm and sniffed it, tugged at her clothes to sniff again, and realized something was wrong: "But I did change my clothes after I got back..."

"..." Mo’s head suddenly froze, and after a while, he looked at Luo Qianqian with a complex expression: "I meant a different kind of scent!"

"Wine scent? I only drank one glass..." Luo Qianqian bemoaned, breathed into her palm, full of doubt. Did she have bad breath?

"It’s a different kind of fragrance! A specific kind of scent!" Mo really wanted to pry open the woman’s head in front of him to see if it was full of water; what on earth was she thinking all day?

"What?" Luo Qianqian was still a bit confused.

"I’m not sure what you call it here, but in our studies, it’s called ’Red Beauty,’" Yan’s voice chimed in, and both of them turned their heads to look at him.

Yan calmly walked up to the two of them: "The scent of ’Red Beauty’ is very faint, but those with acute scent can detect it easily. It’s also a necessary ingredient for that kind of drug."

Luo Qianqian’s eyes rounded in disbelief: "Does that mean I’m the one who drugged myself?" It was clearly written on her face, she couldn’t believe it.

If she did it, why would she be entangled in this here?!

Could it be she actually has two personalities? One does good, and the other causes trouble?

"Are you out of your mind?" Mo suddenly became angry: "It means you’ve had close contact with the person who drugged you! ’Red Beauty’ dissolves in water. It only leaves a scent when it’s solid!"

"It was eaten by the zombies in the game you were playing recently." Luo Qianqian calmly responded, but her face was a little strange. She interacted with many people, shaking hands here and hugging there, but if that’s the case... doesn’t it seem entirely useless?

No... does that mean, the one with the drug on them would have a more prominent scent?

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s sudden realization, Mo truly felt like this kid’s brain was eaten by zombies...

"Bro, hurry and help me out." Luo Qianqian jumped up from the swing chair and rushed inside to look for Elvis.

With someone’s help, Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the schools weren’t far apart, and Elvis was very diligent in checking whether they returned to school or not. Except for a few who went for late-night snacks, the rest returned to school, which gave her some relief, recording the information in her mind and flattering both Mo and Yan: "Masters, do you have time? Could you lend a hand?"

"I can help, but I’ve recently liked that thing they talk about on TV, just buy it for me." Mo was very calm.

"What thing?"

"The thing that doesn’t move or leak, and you need a butterfly to sleep..."

"Are you sure?" Luo Qianqian looked at Mo with a bit of strangeness upon hearing that.

The line sounded familiar, seemed to be... some kind of female product?

"I promised." Luo Qianqian agreed decisively before Mo could question in doubt.

"I’m interested in the wine you drank tonight." Yan looked calmly at Luo Qianqian.

"No problem." Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they didn’t mention something like wanting to eat pudding to go to space...

The three calmly left, Luo Qianqian didn’t forget to call Tang Guo out to watch He Wenyu. Though reluctant, Tang Guo still sat sulkily by the bathtub, maintaining the water temperature within it.

First, they went to the nearest late-night snack spot. Luo Qianqian didn’t show up, leaving Yan and Mo to buy some grilled skewers to take away, passing by that group four times, making it eight times in total.

Seeing familiar classmates, Luo Qianqian was truly filled with worry, afraid that someone she considered a friend might have done such a thing. That would leave her with no way to face it.

At the snack stand were Pei Yuhao, Pei Yutian, Gu Yanzhi, and Qiao Xiyang, all people she trusted as friends...

But fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as she feared...

"Two of them also have the scent..." Yan stated calmly.

Luo Qianqian suddenly froze, not knowing how to react, and just stood there dumbfounded, staring at Yan, waiting for him to continue.

"But the scent is very faint and not as strong as yours," Mo said, looking at Luo Qianqian, slightly speechless.

Only then did Luo Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief. If it’s lighter than hers, then it’s not them, right?

But two people?

"Which two?" Luo Qianqian felt like she had uncovered some significant clue, looking at the two excitedly.

"It’s those two, the ones drinking right now, but the one who just put down his glass has a lighter scent than the one still drinking." Yan meticulously pointed it out.

Luo Qianqian took a close look and was instantly dumbfounded, Pei Yuhao and Pei Yutian? And Pei Yuhao has a lighter scent??? This isn’t scientific, come on...
