Is Qiao Yulan asking her to poison and kill someone? !
This terrible thought flashed through Lin Qiao's mind, and her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the glass bottle to the ground.
Qiao Yulan quickly grabbed her hand, staring at her intently, and said in a vicious tone:
"Be careful, this is a small bottle that I spent the whole afternoon brewing. If you drop it, it will be gone."
Lin Qiao was really scared at this moment. Seeing Qiao Yulan was like seeing a devil. Her voice was shaking with tears:
"Sister Yulan, I don't dare. I don't even dare to kill chickens and ducks at home. I really don't dare..."
"What are you thinking about?!"
Qiao Yulan rolled her eyes, interrupting Lin Qiao's wild thoughts:
"This is water boiled with evergreen leaves. Drinking it will only hurt your throat, not kill you!"
Seeing that Lin Qiao was still stunned, Qiao Yulan continued:
"I asked you to take the drug not just for me, but for your greater benefit."
"Think about it, Shao Jingque can sing now, so you've lost your role in the art troupe. Even if we don't kick you out now, how can the troupe afford to keep someone idle in the long run?"
"Even if you were allowed to stay, as long as Shao Jingque could sing on stage, you would never be able to surpass her and sing on stage again. Are you willing to let such a great voice of yours be buried in obscurity for the rest of your life?"
Lin Qiao didn't answer, but her eyes flickered, and Qiao Yulan saw it all.
She changed her tone to a serious one, held Lin Qiao's hand and said:
“Some people are born with all the advantages, and ordinary people like you and me will have to live in the shadow of others all our lives if we don’t fight for ourselves.”
"At least I've shined in the group. What about you? Are you willing to spend your whole life cautiously trying to please others at such a young age?"
These two sentences touched Lin Qiao's heart.
She looked down at the glass bottle in her hand thoughtfully, and a sinful thought quietly arose in her heart -
It's just a broken throat, not life-threatening... This world is so unfair, it's not too much for her to fight for herself once...
When Qiao Yulan saw Lin Qiao silently withdraw her hand and hold the glass bottle tightly in her hand, she knew that the matter was settled, and she did not forget to remind her:
"To be on the safe side, I prepared some extra. One-third of the amount in this bottle is enough to burn her throat. If you don't succeed the first time, don't worry. Find another opportunity to put it in a second time."
Lin Qiao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded silently, turned around, picked up the umbrella and walked back.
When the security guard Lao Liu saw her come back, he greeted her warmly, but Lin Qiao acted as if she didn't hear him. She walked straight to the dormitory building with an umbrella and an expressionless face.
Old Liu looked at her slightly stiff back and asked doubtfully:
"Was it raining so hard just now? How come I'm soaked even with an umbrella? He didn't respond even when I called him. Is he frozen stupid?"
Lin Qiao was not frozen silly. On the contrary, there were two abnormal blushes on her pale face.
Her heart was beating restlessly, her mind full of imaginations about how she could pour the bottle of evergreen juice into Shao Jingque's cup without anyone noticing. She had no time to pay attention to him.
Even if the art troupe does not have any performances at the moment, rehearsals still have to be organized every afternoon and everyone has to participate.
Now Shao Jingque has no dormitory, and the only place where he can drug her is the backstage dressing room.
And she only needs to wait for the moment when Shao Jingque gets up and leaves, and then she will have a chance!
......
As the rehearsal was about to end, many people left the dressing room. Because the female solo was the finale, Shao Jingque sat alone in front of the dressing table waiting to go on stage for rehearsal.
She seemed to be waving the water cup in her hand, but her thoughts had already flown back to the night when Lu Zhan sent her back to the guesthouse.
It was rare that the bowl of noodles she treated them to was quite pleasant to eat, and the two of them finally did not have any more conflicts.
But unexpectedly, just after we finished eating, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and then it started to rain.
At first, the two of them were running forward in the drizzle, but later the rain got heavier and heavier, so they had to find a roof on the street to shelter from the rain.
I thought I could hide for a while and leave when the rain was lighter, but with one deafening thunder after another, the sky seemed to have a hole in it, and heavy rain poured down.
As the night deepened, the cool breeze mixed with cold rain kept hitting the two of them. Although they were standing under the eaves, they had already been soaked by the rain blowing from all directions.
Another gust of strong wind blew by, and Shao Jingque couldn't help but shiver.
The next second, a tall figure blocked the direction of the wind:
"Stand behind me."
Lu Zhan's broad back perfectly covered the petite Shao Jingque, blocking most of the wind and rain for her. Under the narrow eaves, their positions changed from side by side to parallel, and the distance between them was infinitely shortened.
Shao Jingque's nose tip was almost touching Lu Zhan's back. His originally crisp military shirt was completely wet by the rain and stuck to his body. Under the dim street lights, the well-defined lines of his muscles were clearly revealed. The close distance made Shao Jingque's cheeks feel a little hot.
Lu Zhan, who was standing in front of her, was not in much better condition. His muscles were getting tighter and tighter.
What he didn't expect was that he simply wanted to protect Shao Jingque from the storm, but it was like he was caught in an unbearable test -
A small stream of warm air blew onto his wet back from time to time, light and soft, like a small hand teasing every hair on his back, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable.
The more nervous he was and the tighter his muscles were, the more obvious the feeling became.
Just as the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere between the two was gradually heating up, a huge thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky, deafening as if it were exploding next to their ears.
"ah--"
The frightened Shao Jingque reflexively hugged Lu Zhan's waist, closed his eyes, and buried his head in his back.
In an instant, Lu Zhan's entire body seemed to be struck by lightning. Everything from his toes to his hair stood up straight. His body suddenly became as hard as a steel plate, so tense that he dared not even breathe.
After a moment, Shao Jingque recovered from the shock and quickly let go of his hand, blushing and apologizing:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just startled, so..."
Lu Zhan didn't look back, his voice was as calm as ever:
"fine."
Hearing his calm answer, Shao Jingque felt more and more embarrassed.
I was too impatient. It was just a hug.
Is it really necessary to get so excited, blush, and have a pounding heart?
But for some reason, apart from this, Shao Jingque felt a little lost inexplicably in his heart.
But what she didn't know was that if she stood in front of Lu Zhan at this moment, she would easily notice the upturned corners of his mouth and the smile that he couldn't suppress at all.
