Chapter 661 Bamboo Woven Pen Holder (2/2)



After that, she returned to her dormitory, where she quietly washed up and rested.

Then, I started sleeping in late in the morning, which was a rare occurrence.

Logically speaking, she had already slept for two hours in the private room at the club last night, so she shouldn't have slept that much more at night, and it's even less likely that she would have overslept.

But when she got back to her dorm, she fell asleep within two minutes of lying down on her bed.

And he slept very soundly.

When she woke up, she began to wonder if she hadn't slept in a long time, otherwise why would she have slept so late?

However, it's not a big deal; everyone has moments when they're mentally relaxed.

Perhaps it was because she met a kind, wealthy female customer last night, and someone else helped her solve her grandmother's medication problem, that she unconsciously relaxed?

That's why I unconsciously slept a little longer.

Despite sleeping a long time, she didn't seem to feel refreshed; in fact, she felt more tired than usual.

Now that Xu Jiaoyue had asked her, she recounted what had happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaoyue immediately sensed that something was amiss.

The main issue is that the wealthy female guest. Was she too kind and enthusiastic, and a little too good to her roommate?

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Moreover, the other person and the roommate had only known each other for less than four hours.

There are many rich people in this world, but those who are rich to this extent must not be stupid, right?

Of course, among the wealthy people in this world, there are certainly many kind-hearted people who ask for nothing in return.

Xu Jiaoyue just felt that the probability of encountering such a selfless and wealthy person was relatively low.

Especially when my roommate returned to the dorm, he had an unpleasant smell on him.

Xu Jiaoyue became increasingly certain that the wealthy female guest her roommate had met last night probably had ulterior motives towards her.

So she immediately advised her roommate to be more careful, and then showed her some news articles about people being blinded by greed and getting scammed.

Interspersed among them was a news item that Xu Jiaoyue had specifically found, about an accident that occurred after being drugged by certain incense.

Actually, this is the news that Xu Jiaoyue most wanted her roommate to see.

However, if she sends this news to the other party alone, she risks exposing her secret.

After all, a normal person wouldn't pay too much attention to the incense the rich woman lit last night when faced with this kind of situation.

She hopes her roommate will pay more attention when she sees this news.

After talking with Xu Jiaoyue, her roommate also felt increasingly that the story of meeting a wealthy female customer last night and how kind the customer was to her was unreal.

She has never been a lucky person growing up, so when she suddenly encountered such a "good thing", she was actually quite apprehensive.

Now, after hearing what Xu Jiaoyue said and looking at the news she sent, she also felt that she needed to think about this matter more carefully and be more cautious.

At the time, her roommate was very grateful for Xu Jiaoyue's reminder and told her that she would find an excuse to stop the rich female guest from bringing medicine to her grandmother.

If possible, she will try to avoid the time when wealthy female customers come to the health club.

In any case, try to avoid contact with the other party as much as possible.

Regardless of whether the other person genuinely meant well and wanted to help her, or had ulterior motives, she was too timid to speculate or accept their kindness.

Xu Jiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her roommate had figured it out.

She has given all the necessary reminders, and her roommate seems quite lucid now, so nothing should happen again.

Later, Xu Jiaoyue observed her roommate again and found that she seemed to still be working part-time at the health club. She still didn't return to the dormitory until after midnight every day, but she no longer had any strange smells on her.

Since she didn't seem to have any problems, Xu Jiaoyue completely stopped paying attention to the matter.

Just before the holiday, my roommate had earned a lot of money working part-time at a club this semester, enough to have a very prosperous New Year.

She was also very grateful to Xu Jiaoyue for listening to her stories and reminding her of them. So, in addition to thanking her verbally, she also said that she would send Xu Jiaoyue some local specialties from her hometown when she returned home.

The package Xu Jiaoyue received before the Lunar New Year was a local specialty sent by her roommate.

The package was mostly filled with food, except for a bamboo pen holder, which my roommate said she bought at a market in her area. She said it was cute and inexpensive, and she wanted to give it to Xu Jiaoyue.

Upon hearing that the bamboo pen holder was inexpensive, Xu Jiaoyue accepted it.

Moreover, the bamboo tube was carved quite exquisitely, and she liked it very much. So after receiving the package, she placed the bamboo tube on her bedroom desk.

Two days later, she noticed that her nose started to itch, and then she couldn't smell anything anymore.

Actually, before Lin Xi asked her if there was anything extra around her, Xu Jiaoyue had never thought of the bamboo pen holder.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that apart from food, the only new item I have is that bamboo pen holder.

But it was sent to her by her roommate from her hometown.

What's more, her roommate bought it specifically to thank her.

My roommate wouldn't repay kindness with enmity by deliberately bringing me such a defective bamboo pen holder to harm me, would she?

What is she after? And what is her reason?

When she went home for vacation, her roommate was very nice to her, and she couldn't tell at all that her roommate wanted to harm her.

Moreover, as far as Xu Jiaoyue knew, her roommate didn't understand any of these metaphysical things.

Therefore, Xu Jiaoyue really couldn't understand it.

However, the fact that there is a problem with the bamboo pen holder is just her guess, and it cannot be confirmed.

To confirm whether it was about the bamboo pen holder, Lin Xi would have to go to the site to check.

After listening to Xu Jiaoyue's story, Lin Xi also felt a little strange.

Logically speaking, Xu Jiaoyue had helped her roommate. Even if the roommate didn't know what had happened to her, she shouldn't have turned around and harmed Xu Jiaoyue.

It's impossible that the roommate rejected the rich woman's offer, then regretted it, and instead of blaming herself, blamed Xu Jiaoyue, thinking that she only gave up the rich woman's offer because of Xu Jiaoyue's instigation.

While it may sound incredible, it's not entirely impossible.

However, whether it's the bamboo pen holder or not, she'll have to go and check to be sure.

Soon, Lin Xi and Xu Jiaoyue and her son went to their house.

After entering the room, Lin Xi glanced around the living room but didn't find anything unusual.

Upon entering Xu Jiaoyue's bedroom, Lin Xi immediately noticed the bamboo pen holder placed on the desk.

The pen holder was emitting wisps of black smoke.
