Chapter 186: Drugged

Xu Zhengnan put one hand around me and closed the bathroom door with the other. After hearing a "click", he said to me, "It's locked this time."

If I hadn't had an injured neck, I would have pushed him away with all my strength.

But I didn't dare to do that. I could only stand firm and push him symbolically, "Let me go. What's wrong with you?"

"Can't we take a shower together?" He let go of me a little, as if taking my injury into consideration, but his voice was unusually seductive. He lowered his head and looked at me, the desire in his eyes not concealed at all.

Why is it so weird? I felt a chill in my heart. The last time I had sex with him after drinking was already a sin. I didn't plan to be with him anymore. I had to avoid physical contact, and sleeping was absolutely not allowed.

I don’t want to be a couple with Xu Zhengnan, let alone a sex partner.

That simply tarnished the friendship between us that had lasted for so many years.

I was just about to refuse when I noticed that Xu Zhengnan's lips were unusually red, and seemed to be broken and bloody.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your body so hot?" I finally realized something was wrong. Xu Zhengnan's body was very hot, as hot as an egg just taken out of boiling water!

Do you have a fever?

Xu Zhengnan's eyes were dark and he didn't answer my question.

I was a little worried that if the fever got too severe, something serious would happen. I took the initiative to hold his hand and said, "Let's go to the hospital to get a fever-reducing injection. You're in trouble. You shouldn't take a bath when you have a fever. It will make the condition worse."

"I don't have a fever." Xu Zhengnan stood still, holding my wrist with his backhand, his lips getting redder, "Aren't you going to ask me where I went last night, who I met, and what I ate?"

I am not in a position to ask about these things, and the more I interfere, the more complicated the relationship becomes.

I shook my head. “It’s your freedom.”

"You have the final say over my freedom." Xu Zhengnan said without any hesitation. He then let go of my hand, a look of struggle flashing across his face. "Go take a shower in another bathroom. I was just teasing you just now."

He didn't seem to be teasing me, but rather hiding something.

Suddenly, my gaze fell on a place I shouldn't be looking at. My eyes widened and I immediately reacted, "Xu Zhengnan, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Um, to be precise, someone drugged me." Xu Zhengnan let out a snort of laughter from his throat, and it was obvious that he was holding it in very long. No wonder he acted so abnormally just now.

I was shocked, who would do this to him? Moreover, he is a very cautious person, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find an opportunity to give him this kind of medicine.

I pressed, "Who did it? When did it happen? Did you endure it until you came back?"

I came back and took a cold shower, trying to sober myself up.

Xu Zhengnan frowned, "Don't you think it's a waste of time to ask these questions at this time? If you don't want to go out, don't blame me for being rude."

It seemed like the question was indeed unnecessary. Looking at Xu Zhengnan's increasingly fiery eyes, I quickly turned around and left.

As soon as I walked out, I ran into Aunt Yang standing at the door. She looked at me in confusion, "Xiaoyue, why are you in the bathroom? Didn't Zhengnan say he was going to take a shower just now?"

"Uh..." I was startled and answered guiltily, "He's in the other bathroom."

"So, he went straight to the bathroom to take a shower as soon as he came back. I wonder where he slept last night." Aunt Yang muttered in confusion.

I don’t know either. I wanted to tell Aunt Yang that Xu Zhengnan had been drugged, but I found it difficult to say it.

In fact, I am a little worried that Xu Zhengnan will have problems. What if he takes drastic measures? No one can tolerate it.

With a lot of questions and worries in my mind, I went to the bedroom to take a shower. When I changed my clothes and went out to eat, Xu Zhengnan was already in good condition, sitting at the dining table. When he saw me, he greeted me calmly, "Let's eat."

I blushed for no apparent reason and sat down without saying a word.

After breakfast, Aunt Yang was thinking about going to my house to see my parents. I was ready to go back with her, and Xu Zhengnan gave me the car keys and said, "Drive my mom there."

"You're not going?" Aunt Yang asked.

"Well, there is still some work to be done." Xu Zhengnan replied.

I glanced at him, took the car keys, went out, and followed the navigation to my parents' place.

On the way, Aunt Yang talked to me about Xu Zhengnan. She asked me to do her a favor and find out for her if I had a chance whether Xu Zhengnan had a girlfriend.

I asked in surprise, "Aunt Yang, why do you think so?"

"During this period, he seemed to often make phone calls behind my back, not wanting me to hear them. He would not avoid me when talking about work, after all, I don't know much about his line of work." Aunt Yang expressed her guess, "I originally thought it was Le Tong, but then I asked Le Tong, it wasn't her, Xiao Yue, was it you?"

This question almost scared me to jump out of the driver's seat.

I quickly shook my head, "It's not me, Aunt Yang. After I went abroad, I had no contact with Xu Zhengnan. I didn't get in touch with him until I was about to return to China."

Aunt Yang sighed quietly, "If it's not you, then who is it?"

For some reason, I thought of Jiang Xinyu again. Could it be her?

The impression Jiang Xinyu gave me was that she was pretty, fair-skinned, and had an air of arrogance. When she questioned me, the light in her eyes was so aggressive that it made people feel distant from her.

Judging from his temperament at first glance, he is quite similar to Xu Zhengnan.

We were chatting until we got home. After my mother opened the door for us, I saw Li Qingming playing basketball in the yard. When he saw Aunt Yang and I coming, he shouted happily, "Sister, Aunt Yang, you are here!"

He rushed over and hugged my thighs, acting like he was very affectionate with me.

Before I could say anything, he suddenly raised his head, tears in his eyes on his childish face, "Sister, did you go to see that bad brother to save me? Are you hurt? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insisted on going to kindergarten, and I shouldn't have felt bored at home, so that he wouldn't have found out."

Hearing his obedient apology, my heart softened. I have never blamed him or my parents. I only blame myself for being stupid and provoking a bastard.

I bent down and picked up Li Qingming. "Mingming, this is not your fault. I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Li Qingming touched the gauze on my neck and tears fell down, "But your neck is injured, sister, I'm sorry, when I grow up, I will protect you."

I felt touched and warm in my heart. I was destined not to have children in this life, but by chance I got a lovely younger brother. I treated him as my little baby, which seemed not bad.

"It's cold outside, come in and sit down and have some tea." My mother greeted me and Aunt Yang with a smile.

I walked in holding Li Qingming. My father had already prepared hot tea for us. When he saw me, he still subconsciously frowned, but I didn't mind.

"Dad." I shouted.

My father turned his head to look out the window, said "hmm" very quickly, and then invited Aunt Yang to have tea.
