Chapter 496: Something in the Drink

Xue Xi walked to her desk, picked up her computer, and opened it. She logged into the online banking interface.

“Quick, enter the ID number and password!”

Xie Yingying cheered from the side. Li Zixia was also staring at her computer.

Xue Xi was helpless. Just as she was about to enter the ID number to check, her phone suddenly rang. She originally intended to look at it later, but after glancing at it from the corner of her eye, she stopped typing the ID number and picked up the call.

“Hello, Brother Silin, what’s the matter?”

Ji Silin’s voice was very serious, no longer as gentle as before. “Xixi, have you drunk the beverage that your classmate gave you?”

Beverage?

Xue Xi paused for a moment. “The milk drink from Jin Peng?”

“Yes, that’s the one.” Ji Silin’s voice was very cold and anxious. “Have you drunk it?”

Xue Xi calmly replied, “No.”

Ji Silin heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good!”

Xue Xi was puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ji Silin sighed. “Do you have time now? Come to my place.”

“Okay. I’ll be right there.”

Ji Silin was treating people with psychological illnesses at Huaxia University. He should be at the infirmary at this time.

Xue Xi hung up and stood up to leave.

Li Zixia asked, “Sister Xi, where are you going?”

Xue Xi had already walked toward the door. “Something seems to have happened to Brother Silin. I’ll go take a look.”

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying looked at each other and said at the same time, “Let us go too!”

Since Instructor Xiang treated them so well and was so handsome, they definitely had to stand on his side. When it came to relationships, Sister Xi was not very sensitive, so they had to prevent Sister Xi and Doctor Ji from being alone.

As the two of them thought this, Xue Xi had already disappeared by the time they chased after her. How fast was she running?! They quickened their pace and followed her to the infirmary.

The weather outside was still a little hot. When Xue Xi had jogged all the way to the infirmary, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Brother Silin was one of the few friends she relied on. Was anything the matter with those three drinks?

The mental health clinic was on the second floor. She ran up to Ji Silin’s clinic and pushed the door open. “Brother Silin, are you alright?”

Such concern made Ji Silin smile.

He said gently, “I’m fine.”

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, he picked up some tissue to wipe it for her, but Xue Xi suddenly took a step back.

Ji Silin paused in mid-air with the tissue in his hand.

“I’ve grown up, Brother Silin.”

After saying this, Xue Xi took the piece of tissue paper and wiped her sweat before throwing it into the rubbish bin beside her. She recalled how Xiang Huai had been jealous last time and had secretly touched her when no one was passing by the stairs. “Little kid, such an intimate action can only be done with me, understand?”

That time, he had teased Xue Xi until her face turned red. She kept a straight face but answered seriously, “Yes.”

Since she had promised Xiang Huai, she had to do it.

Was wiping sweat an intimate act?

As she thought this, she looked at Ji Silin and saw that he had indeed put down his hand. He did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he turned around and sat on the chair, handing her three bottles of milk drinks. “Smell them. What’s the difference between these three bottles?”

Brother Silin was always like this.

He wouldn’t feel uncomfortable at all. He was magnanimous and would tolerate all her unusual temperaments. For example, in the orphanage, if she didn’t like to talk, Brother Silin could just sit with her for the whole day reading.

This thought flashed across Xue Xi’s mind and she quickly pushed it to the back of her mind. She walked over to Ji Silin and picked up the three bottles of beverages to sniff.

Her senses were sharper than an ordinary person’s, so she quickly smelled that this bottle of beverage was different from the other two bottles. It was sweeter and seemed to have more milk fragrance, but upon closer inspection, she felt that it was different.

She looked up in confusion. “What is in this?”

Ji Silin said, “It’s a hallucinogen.”

Xue Xi: “?”

Ji Silin answered, “This hallucinogen will give you a wonderful feeling after you take it. It will make your body and mind happy, and you won’t be troubled. However, this kind of thing will make you addicted, and when it acts up, you will have a bad temper. Of course, there aren’t many hallucinogens in this beverage, so it will only make you addicted. If you take too much of this hallucinogen at once, you might hallucinate and die.”

Xue Xi frowned and immediately asked, “Have you drunk it?”

Ji Silin smiled. “Of course not. I don’t like drinks from outside. Have you forgotten?”

Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

After thinking about it, she picked up her phone and was about to call the police when she suddenly thought of something. She opened WeChat and found Little Pigeon, Jing Fei. She gave him a voice call.

Jing Fei quickly picked up the call. “Sister Xi, what’s wrong?”

Xue Xi said, “I want to call the police. Someone put hallucinogens in the beverage.”

Jing Fei: “…I already know. I’ve investigated the source of the drinks. This person is at Huaxia University. We’re preparing to arrest him!”

After hanging up, Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief. “Done.”

Ji Silin looked at her and suddenly asked, “Since when did you trust the police so much?”

Xue Xi’s eyes were still filled with confusion, but she was much better than in the orphanage. In the past year, she had learned so much about society.

She said, “The police serve the people. Is it wrong to look for them if there’s anything going on?”

Ji Silin clenched his jaw. After a moment, he reached out to pat her head, but his hand froze mid-air.

He smiled and said, “Xixi, I’ll support you no matter what you do, but you have to remember one thing.”

Xue Xi: “What?”

Ji Silin lowered his eyes. “Don’t trust others too much. You can only trust yourself. Remember that, okay?”

Xue Xi: “?”

She was confused. “I can’t trust even you completely?”

Ji Silin’s eyes flickered. He sighed softly and said gently, “Yes.”

“…”

When Xue Xi left the infirmary, she was still at a loss. She did not know why Ji Silin would suddenly say this.

As she walked back, she met Li Zixia and Xie Yingying, who had just rushed over. The three of them started walking back to the dormitory.

After taking a few steps, Xue Xi suddenly sensed something and stopped.

At this moment, she was already twenty meters away from the infirmary building, but Xue Xi realized that Ji Silin was standing by the window on the second floor and looking at her.

From so far away, Ji Silin waved at her.

The infirmary building was a little run-down. The paint on the exterior was peeling and some tiles had fallen off. In this dark environment, Ji Silin stood on the second floor in his white coat.
