Chapter 144: I Won’t Harm You
“Dandan,” Zhou Yawei called to her across A Can.
Lin Xiaodan stiffly turned her head to look at her.
Zhou Yawei felt she looked strange, frowned, stood up, and walked over, “Dandan, are you feeling unwell?”
“No,” Lin Xiaodan shook her head, revealing a strained smile, “I-I’m fine.”
“Okay,” Zhou Yawei didn’t press further, leaned in and whispered in her ear, “I feel a bit stuffy here, I’m going home now.”
Lin Xiaodan struggled internally, slowly extending her hand.
She grasped her best friend’s wrist and pleaded, “Weiwei, it’s still early, let’s play for a bit longer, I’ll go home with A Xin later.”
Zhou Yawei put on a stern face, “But I want to go home now.”
“Don’t you consider me a friend?” Lin Xiaodan feigned anger.
“Of course not,” Zhou Yawei explained, “Dandan, you are my best friend.”
A sense of guilt flashed through Lin Xiaodan. She stood up, hugged her, and her voice was full of pleading, “Weiwei, you’re the best to me, can you stay and keep me company?”
Zhou Yawei was helpless, she could only nod in agreement, “Okay, I’ll stay with you for another hour.”
She clicked open her phone and glanced at the time, “I’ll leave at half-past eleven.”
“Okay,” Lin Xiaodan smiled, “An hour is enough.”
Zhou Yawei sat beside her, bored, playing with her phone.
A Xin saw her sit down, hugged Lin Xiaodan again, and whispered by her ear, “You’re amazing, my baby. As a reward, I’ll delete one of your nude photos.”
His closeness made Lin Xiaodan tremble all over.
A Xin chuckled softly, “What are you shaking for? So excited?”
Lin Xiaodan clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said, “Didn’t you say you would delete a photo?”
“Yes,” A Xin took out his phone, unlocked it, deleted a photo, and raised an eyebrow, “Satisfied?”
Lin Xiaodan’s face was stern, and she didn’t speak.
A Xin said lightly, “Extend your hand.”
Lin Xiaodan hesitated for a moment, then extended her palm.
A Xin placed a white pill in her palm and said in a low voice, “Your friend only drank the wine you poured. The rest is up to you.”
Lin Xiaodan clutched the white pill.
Probably due to nervousness, a layer of fine sweat beaded on her forehead.
Lin Xiaodan turned her head to look at Zhou Yawei, who was playing with her phone, and her heart began to struggle again.
After a moment, she turned her back to Lin Xiaodan, put the white pill A Xin had given her into the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Zhou Yawei.
“Weiwei, are you thirsty?”
The gossiping mosquito, after watching this scene, flew back to chat with its friends.
“Oh my god, that female human is going to harm her best friend!”
“What’s going on? Tell me quickly!”
“I was about to feast on that male human, but I was chased away. The mosquito waited there for an opportunity, but then!”
The gossiping mosquito sighed, “That female human put the white pill into the wine bottle, and then…”
The mosquito’s chat content entered Jiang Yuan’s ears again.
She frowned and turned her head to look at Zhou Yawei again.
She was playing with her phone, and her friend Lin Xiaodan was looking at her, her gaze faintly carrying some apology.
The next second, Lin Xiaodan picked up the wine glass and handed it to Zhou Yawei, smiling and persuading, “Weiwei, we’re leaving soon, just have a little drink to show you mean it.”
With that said, Zhou Yawei felt awkward refusing further.
She took the wine glass, and just as her lips touched the rim, a clear and cold voice suddenly rang out.
“Don’t drink it!”
Zhou Yawei heard the voice and lifted her eyelids to look over.
Seeing it was Jiang Yuan speaking, a smile flickered across her lips, and she explained, “Jiang Yuan, it’s okay, this glass was poured for me by my best friend Dandan.”
Jiang Yuan glanced at Lin Xiaodan beside her, whose face showed vigilance, and said indifferently, “You can’t drink it even if your best friend poured it.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Xiaodan’s face was full of dissatisfaction, “Are you trying to sow discord between us?”
Zhou Yawei frowned in confusion, “Why do you say that?”
“Yawei,” Zhou Shuyu came to Jiang Yuan’s side, her gaze serious as she looked at her cousin, “Listen to Yuan Yuan, she won’t harm you.”
“Zhou Shuyu!” Lin Xiaodan reprimanded coldly, “Weiwei is an adult, she has her own ideas! Does she need your permission as her cousin to even have a drink? Don’t try to control everything about her!”
“Don’t be so barbaric,” Zhou Shuyu frowned, speechless with her.
Zhou Yawei quickly said, “Don’t argue, it’s just a small matter.”
“It’s not a small matter,” Zhou Shuyu’s face turned grim.
Jiang Yuan also spoke, “You consider Lin Xiaodan a good friend, but what about her?”
“What about me?” Lin Xiaodan looked at Jiang Yuan with some hostility, “I also consider her a good friend! What do you know to be talking nonsense here!”
“Of course, we know some things, which is why we’re saying this,” Jiang Yuan’s expression was calm.
Lin Xiaodan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, an ominous feeling arising inexplicably, “What?”
Jiang Yuan’s gaze fell on the wine bottle in front of her, “What did you put in the wine?”
“What what?” Lin Xiaodan could only play dumb, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, “It’s okay, we can take it for testing and find out.”
Lin Xiaodan’s face changed drastically, and she frowned, “You’re being completely unreasonable!”
After speaking, she grabbed the wine bottle and poured the wine out, “See? What’s in here? There’s nothing!”
“What are you afraid of?” Jiang Yuan sneered, “You were so eager to pour it out when I said we’d take it for testing. Are you feeling guilty?”
“Not at all!” Lin Xiaodan’s gaze flickered as she retorted, “You said I added something to the wine, so I’m proving it to you!”
Zhou Shuyu’s expression was icy, “The glass of wine in Yawei’s hand was poured from the bottle. Use her glass of wine for testing.”
Zhou Yawei, who hadn’t reacted yet, blinked and lowered her eyes to look at the wine in her hand.
The next second, a hand reached out and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Zhou Yawei turned her head to look at Lin Xiaodan, surprise appearing on her face.
Lin Xiaodan’s face was stern as she poured the wine away, “Did you see clearly? What’s in here? There’s nothing!”
“Dandan…” Zhou Yawei murmured, “Is there really something wrong with this wine?”
She wasn’t a fool; with Lin Xiaodan acting like this, what else did she not understand?
“No!” Lin Xiaodan grabbed her hand and explained eagerly, “Weiwei, you have to believe me, you’re my best friend, I wouldn’t harm you.”
“I…” Zhou Yawei pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
She glanced at Lin Xiaodan, broke free from her hand, and said, “I’m going home.”
Zhou Yawei walked towards Jiang Yuan, her voice tinged with panic, “I won’t drink with them anymore, can I go with you?”
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yuan nodded.
“Weiwei!” Lin Xiaodan called out uneasily, “Do you not want me as your good friend anymore?”
