Chapter 510: Chapter 509: Something’s Wrong
Ye Jia Ren sat beside Yiyi, her face full of smiles as she talked to Yiyi, "Yiyi, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. Is the coursework at school still manageable recently?"
"It’s fine, a bit busier than last semester."
Ye Jia Ren heard this and said with a smile, "The coursework at school must be no problem for you. You’re so capable; the pharmacy and medical center you set up are already famous."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly said, "That’s not the case. Even if I set up a pharmacy and medical center, I still need to study the system’s knowledge well, so I’m quite busy with classes usually."
Ye Jia Ren heard and laughed, "That is true, but from my experience, as long as you pass the exams, it’s fine."
Yiyi smiled without saying much.
She didn’t quite agree with this statement. Although passing the exams can ensure a steady graduation from college, to really excel in learning, one must put in some effort. Especially for those studying medicine, only by mastering their studies can they better treat patients in the future.
Seeing Yiyi not responding, Ye Jia Ren moved on to other topics.
On the other side, Gu Tingyu and Jinming were also talking.
"You’ve rested for several days this time. When do you plan to return to the team?"
Gu Tingyu directly said, "I return to the team tomorrow."
"Considering that, you actually didn’t rest for many days, but compared to before, you’ve had more rest time." Jinming said with a smile.
Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I’m already much more relaxed than before."
As they talked, the dishes were served. Jinming hurriedly invited everyone to eat, then took out a bottle of wine and said, "This is a wine I managed to get with great difficulty. Let’s all have a drink today to celebrate Jia Ren and I moving a step further."
Ye Jia Ren’s cheeks were red, looking shyly at Jinming.
Seeing this, Jinming’s smile widened, and he happily said, "Jia Ren and I have met each other’s parents, and the date for our engagement is set for September this year. You must come and attend."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Jinming to act so quickly, but since his good brother was getting engaged, he sincerely wished them well, "Congratulations to both of you."
Yiyi also chimed in, "Congratulations to you two. We must come to enjoy the engagement wine then."
Jinming, still full of joy, happily poured the wine for Yiyi and the others, "Try it, the taste of this wine should be quite good."
Gu Tingyu heard and raised his glass with a smile, "Then I must taste it well. Come, let’s have a toast first, wishing you lovers to stay together."
"Thank you."
Jinming smiled broadly and clinked glasses with Gu Tingyu, and Yiyi also had a toast with Ye Jia Ren. After a few drinks, they began to eat.
Yiyi looked at the full spread of dishes in front of her, feeling a bit lacking in appetite.
Perhaps it was because she didn’t originally enjoy drinking, so she felt the taste of the earlier wine was strange, and it made other things taste odd as well.
Gu Tingyu noticed Yiyi wasn’t eating much and whispered in her ear, "What’s wrong, don’t you like it? I’ll order a few dishes you like later."
Yiyi quickly shook her head and said, "It’s not that. I like it all; I’m just not very hungry today, so I haven’t moved my chopsticks much."
Seeing Yiyi say this, Gu Tingyu didn’t say much more, but he still picked some of Yiyi’s favorite dishes into her bowl, encouraging her to eat at least a little.
Ye Jia Ren noticed the interaction between Yiyi and Gu Tingyu and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. The relationship between these two was better than she had imagined.
But just as she was thinking, there was already a peeled shrimp in her bowl, "Jia Ren, you should eat more. You seem to have lost weight recently."
Hearing Jinming’s gentle voice, Ye Jia Ren snapped back to reality, her face carrying a sweet smile, and turned to Jinming saying, "Alright, later I must eat more and try to gain some weight."
Seeing Ye Jia Ren’s charming smile, Jinming also laughed and continued to peel shrimp and serve dishes for her.
However, he didn’t know if it was his hallucination, he felt a bit dizzy.
"Not good..."
On the other side, Gu Tingyu suddenly shouted, but just as he finished speaking, he collapsed onto the table, and Yiyi just wanted to support him, but she lost consciousness herself immediately.
Seeing Gu Tingyu and Yiyi lose consciousness, Jinming couldn’t help but feel a thump in his heart, but before he could say anything, Ye Jia Ren beside him also fainted, and finally, he himself fell into darkness.
"Mmm..."
Yiyi only felt a severe headache, as if it was splitting open. Finally, she shook her head hard and managed to open her eyes.
Once she saw the scene in front of her, she instantly became awake.
At this moment, she was in a dim room, her hands were tied to the wall, and her whole body lay weakly on the ground.
This...what is going on? She clearly remembered having dinner with Gu Tingyu and Jinming, how did she suddenly appear here.
Having dinner...
Thinking of this, Yiyi’s eyes hardened.
The problem was with the dinner. They were enjoying their meal, but suddenly all of them fainted, so today’s food was problematic.
Yiyi went over everything that happened today carefully, and finally concluded that the problem lies with the bottle of wine Jinming brought.
But...
The friendship between Jinming and Gu Tingyu runs very deep, why would he do something like this, it doesn’t make any sense.
Yet everything today was arranged by Jinming, and only he had the opportunity.
But soon, Yiyi denied Jinming.
As she thought earlier, Jinming is such a good friend of Gu Tingyu, there is no reason for him to do this.
While Yiyi was thinking, the door opened.
"You’re awake, seems like we arrived just in time."
Hearing this voice, Yiyi quickly turned her head, and seeing the newcomers, her eyes were full of shock. The people in front of her were Ye Jia Ren and the old poison master, how... how could these two appear together.
Seeing Yiyi’s shocked expression, Ye Jia Ren couldn’t help but laugh, then looked at the old poison master and said, "Master, let’s start."
"Master..."
Yiyi mumbled to herself and finally looked sharply at the old poison master, saying, "You’re still alive after all."
"Hahaha... How could I bear to die? You all are still fine, of course, I have to stay fine too."
The old poison master said sinisterly, finally looking Yiyi up and down, "You seem ordinary enough, but how did you get those prescriptions, speak up, or you’ll suffer later."
