Chapter 411: Chapter 439: What’s Happening to Me? (Second Update)
Just as Xue Qin was about to drink with the ladle in both hands, Lin Xi suddenly reached out to stop her, as if he remembered something, and said, "Wait a minute."
"What’s wrong?" Xue Qin was a bit puzzled.
Supporting Xue Qin, Ding Yueqiu’s expression slightly tensed. Could it be that he discovered something?
Impossible, it’s colorless and tasteless, how could he discover it!
In the next moment, Lin Xi’s action left the two stunned as they saw him bring the half ladle of water to his own mouth.
"Gulp gulp gulp..."
He drank it all in one go, with a refreshing demeanor typical of someone who just finished exercising.
After drinking, he even licked his lips, and said naturally, "Spring water is really delicious, a bit sweet!"
Seeing the two of them stunned, Lin Xi calmly explained, "Sorry, I was just too thirsty and couldn’t hold back. I’ll fetch some more for you!"
The two watched as Lin Xi turned around, not to fetch water from the bucket but to head directly towards the stream.
"That jerk!" Xue Qin reacted, cursing in her heart, "Does this jerk have any gentlemanly manners at all?"
Whenever she started to have a good impression of him, he’d do something utterly unrefined, so annoying!
Couldn’t he just hold back a bit and let a lady drink first?
This jerk is destined to be alone!
But Ding Yueqiu’s eyes flickered. She didn’t think like Xue Qin. Could it be that Lin Xi discovered something?
If he found something wrong, or detected poison in the water, he shouldn’t have drunk it, but instead poured it out and caused trouble for her.
Now that he’s drunk it, it can only mean he didn’t find anything, but why did he fetch water from the stream instead of the bucket?
Considering that a full bucket of water couldn’t possibly be used up by just one group, could it?
At this moment, she was a bit confused!
Yet now, regardless of what he might be thinking or if he did discover something, it’s all useless!
The water is already drunk, which means he’s destined to die from the poison!
It’s actually better this way. She was just worrying about how to make Lin Xi drink after Xue Qin finished.
"I originally thought this mission would be much harder, but who knew it would be so easy!" Ding Yueqiu mused to herself, feeling like she accomplished the assassination flawlessly without doing much at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Xi returned with the water, handing it to Xue Qin anew, with Ding Yueqiu not noticing anything amiss.
"Are you sure you won’t keep it for yourself this time?" Xue Qin couldn’t help but jab.
Lin Xi smiled slightly but said nothing.
"Gulp gulp gulp..."
It seemed Xue Qin was really thirsty. After she finished drinking, Lin Xi held his own water bucket in one hand and Ding Yueqiu’s small bucket in the other, saying to the two of them, "Let’s go, back!"
As soon as he said this, a girl ran over from a distance.
She looked a bit anxious and took Xue Qin from Ding Yueqiu right away, asking, "Xiaoqin, what happened to you?"
She was Xue Qin’s dorm mate, and they had a very good relationship.
Seeing Xue Qin hadn’t returned for such a long time after going out, their entire group was worried, thinking perhaps she was lost. So, she came out to find her and finally found them here, discovering Xue Qin being supported, as if injured.
"It’s nothing now." Xue Qin was much calmer now.
After she briefly explained what just happened, her dorm mate turned pale and thanked Lin Xi several times before helping Xue Qin back to find Instructor Yang.
Ding Yueqiu had originally intended to help as well, but at that moment Lin Xi said, "Xue Qin can walk mostly fine, one person supporting her is enough."
"You, come take your own water!"
This made the three girls inevitably despise him for a bit. What’s in this jerk’s head?
Not only did he show no sympathy for the bitten Xue Qin, but he was also unwilling to help a girl carry water!
Carrying the water, they walked slowly, and by then there was no one else around, suggesting that everyone else had finished washing and fetching water.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the water bucket Lin Xi was carrying fell to the ground, spilling all the water.
He clutched his chest with both hands, his face showing pain, as he gasped and muttered to himself, "What’s happening to me?"
