Chapter 107: Zhou Kexin’s Abnormality

As for that blue overall dress, he didn’t even dare to imagine how unsightly it would be if every single one of them was equipped with it.

Especially the megatron model, if it transformed into a human form wearing that blue overall dress, Liang Yu felt as if it would tear through space and smash him to bits.

He put Mario away, out of sight, out of mind, so he wouldn’t keep staring at his overall dress.

After this incident with Mario, he suddenly lost the motivation to tidy up.

He returned to his rocking chair, lying on it like a salted fish.

At the same time, he opened both surveillance screens, watching for any actions from the others while being a salted fish.

When hungry or thirsty, he would just grab some snacks from his backpack to fill his stomach.

Huang Qiushi was still in Lan Ling’s room, but at this point, the two of them weren’t playing games anymore.

Liang Yu saw their movements, which looked like stretching.

To be more precise, they might have been doing yoga.

Liang Yu hadn’t looked into this, so he wasn’t sure if they were doing yoga.

But it wasn’t a big deal.

As long as they didn’t make any unusual movements, it was fine.

On Zhou Kexin’s side, she had somehow acquired a small stone mortar for pounding medicine.

Underneath the mortar was a layer of bedding.

Zhou Kexin was continuously pounding the contents of the mortar with a stone pestle.

At this moment, Liang Yu only saw some white fragments and powder.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t recognize it; he could just let his wristband collect data and analyze it.

After Zhou Kexin pounded a few more times, the analysis result from the wristband came out.

There was a 95% probability that it was powder formed from pounding sleeping pills.

The remaining 5% probability was calcium tablet powder.

Seeing that 5% probability, Liang Yu wanted to laugh.

As expected of you, big data, you always keep a trick up your sleeve.

The 95% probability basically confirmed that what Zhou Kexin had in her hand was sleeping pills.

However, Liang Yu hadn’t anticipated the act of drugging.

Because he hadn’t left behind any sleeping pills.

His expectation was that Zhou Kexin would find the alcohol he left behind and get Lan Ling and Huang Qiushi drunk.

There were fruit wine and rice wine left in the kitchen; although the alcohol content wasn’t high, it could still make people drunk.

At this moment, he was very curious how Zhou Kexin planned to get them to consume these sleeping pill powders.

Sleeping pills are odorless, slightly bitter, almost insoluble in water, and easily hydrolyzed when exposed to acid, alkali, or heat.

Then Liang Yu saw Zhou Kexin go to the kitchen and start boiling water.

While boiling water, she took out a teapot for brewing tea.

She put a small handful of sleeping pill powder into the bottom of the teapot.

More tea leaves were placed in the middle isolation layer.

Then she poured the boiled hot water into the teapot.

Next, she poured the remaining water into her own cup and also added some tea leaves.

This way, she could better distinguish the undrugged cup and also avoid suspicion from the others.

However, Zhou Kexin did not immediately pour the tea from the teapot into the communal cups.

Instead, she let it steep longer to make the flavor more concentrated.

At the same time, the taste of strong tea would be more bitter, not as sweet as light tea.

But this would better mask the bitter taste of the sleeping pill powder.

However, in Liang Yu’s eyes, it was full of flaws.

Chinese people generally don’t have the habit of drinking tea at night.

Unless there are guests visiting, then tea would be brewed for them.

Because from a young age, he was educated that tea generally serves to refresh and invigorate the mind.

Drinking too much or strong tea at night can easily lead to insomnia.

Liang Yu didn’t know if this reasoning was true or false.

He had heard his grandfather say this to him when he was still alive.

So, even now, he never actively brews tea at night unless he needs to stay up late.

Then he saw Zhou Kexin carrying three steaming cups of tea into Lan Ling’s bedroom.

The two of them couldn’t help but exchange glances when they saw Zhou Kexin enter.

Usually, at this time, Zhou Kexin would be exercising in her own room.

Huang Qiushi’s habit was to go to Zhou Kexin’s house every weekend before and be motivated by her.

And since moving into 1101, Zhou Kexin’s habit hadn’t changed.

She was still very self-disciplined.

Huang Qiushi had tried to find Zhou Kexin several times at this hour, and not once was she not exercising.

However, such a self-disciplined person had actually given up exercising today and instead brought them tea in a small, shallow box.

If it were normal times, Huang Qiushi wouldn’t have cared.

Occasionally breaking the routine of life was also quite good.

After all, it wouldn’t be so boring.

However, not long ago, she and Lan Ling had noticed Zhou Kexin’s unusual behavior.

Now, Zhou Kexin was once again making a move that was different from her usual behavior.

It indeed made Huang Qiushi become vigilant.

One incident, Huang Qiushi could explain as an accident.

Two incidents could be attributed to coincidence.

If a third or fourth incident occurred, it would not be so simple.

Huang Qiushi now put away her previous casual gaze and seriously scrutinized her friend.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhou Kexin placed the box aside.

Then she picked up her own undrugged cup of tea and took a sip.

Then she said to the two of them,

“What are you looking at me for? Drink it while the tea is still hot.”

“Tea should be drunk while hot; it won’t taste the same when it’s cold.”

Lan Ling looked at the tea and then at Zhou Kexin.

Then she asked,

“Teacher Zhou, since you brewed tea, why didn’t you just make milk tea? We both like freshly made milk tea.”

Huang Qiushi was about to say something but was pulled back by Lan Ling.

Zhou Kexin also didn’t expect Lan Ling to ask such a question.

She had thought of many possible reactions from them beforehand, but she truly hadn’t expected Lan Ling to be concerned about this.

Then she pretended to be recalling, waited a moment, and then said,

“I’m really sorry, I searched for a long time but couldn’t find where the milk was.”

“I’ve searched everywhere I could.”

However, Zhou Kexin’s words undoubtedly delivered a heavy blow to Huang Qiushi’s heart.

Huang Qiushi knew that Zhou Kexin was lying.

Coupled with the sleeping pills Zhou Kexin had asked for earlier, she now had to suspect that there was something wrong with the tea.

After she and Lan Ling finished making milk tea last time, the remaining unused and unopened milk cartons were placed in the refrigerator, which was not plugged in.

And the location was not on the side doors of the refrigerator.

As soon as Zhou Kexin opened the refrigerator, what she would see directly was the unused milk she had placed there.

It was impossible to say that it couldn’t be found.

Therefore, Huang Qiushi dared not drink Zhou Kexin’s tea, no matter what.

And the most crucial point was that Zhou Kexin had just told her about insomnia, and then at night, she brought over tea.

She even drank it in front of her.

Others might not know, but if she, as a doctor, didn’t know, she would probably have to retake her medical license exam.
