Chu Huanzhao still didn't believe it and sneered, "What kind of poison would require you to take off your clothes? An aphrodisiac?"
Zuan gasped, "You guessed right."
However, considering Ji Xiaoxi's reputation, he was naturally embarrassed to admit it: "It's really not what you think. Even if you don't believe in Miss Ji, you should believe in my character."
Chu blinked, his anger seemingly subsiding a little.
Anger from Ji Xiaoxi: +22 +22 +22...
She clearly heard those words too.
However, Chu Huanzhao was clearly not so easily fooled: "Isn't her aunt the principal? Why doesn't she go to her place and instead comes here to bathe, a man like you?"
Zu An gave a wry smile and could only continue explaining to Chu Huanzhao, "That's because Principal Jiang had to leave in an emergency..."
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi had already dressed and hurriedly came out of the bathroom, saying softly, "I'm going back now."
After saying that, he ignored what the two people behind him were saying and quickly fled outside.
Zuan sighed. What a mess this was. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he'd gotten himself into all this trouble.
"What, are you blaming me for ruining your plans?" Chu Huanzhao said with dissatisfaction upon hearing his sigh.
"I just felt that this misunderstanding would make everyone feel awkward, and that we would offend people for no reason..." Zu An went to great lengths to convince Chu Huanzhao that Ji Xiaoxi had really come to detoxify him.
"Oh dear, won't this cause Principal Jiang to make things difficult for you? And I heard that Doctor Ji cares a lot about his daughter, will he come looking for trouble?" Chu Huanzhao suddenly realized.
"Miss, isn't it too late for you to worry about these things now?" Zu An said dejectedly.
"At worst, I'll go apologize to her." Chu also realized that Ji Xiaoxi had acted this way to test the poison for her brother-in-law, and felt that her behavior just now had been a bit excessive.
"Never mind, I'll find another opportunity to explain to her." Zu'an was worried that the two women might cause trouble if they met again.
"Okay, I won't tell my sister about what happened today, but if there's a next time..." Chu Huanzhao said with a snort, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"There will absolutely not be a next time." Zu An thought to himself that he would ask the academy to help him change the lock when he had time.
After this incident, Chu Huanzhao was clearly no longer in the mood to sleep there, but before leaving, she still searched the dormitory again out of concern.
Satisfied at finding no trace of the woman's life, she left.
Zuan wiped away his sweat and suddenly realized that his previous idea of causing unrest in the inner quarters to earn anger points was probably not so wonderful.
Back in the classroom, feeling the envious looks from his classmates, his mood improved a bit.
The day's classes ended quickly, and when they left the school gate, the carriage sent by Wang Yuanlong was already waiting there.
After Zuan and Weisuo got into the carriage, they suddenly noticed another carriage belonging to the Wang family next to them.
He was a little curious: was there someone else in the academy?
Soon after, two beautiful figures walked out of the school, chatting and laughing.
One of them, with a dignified air, revealed a subtle charm and allure; who else could it be but Zheng Dan?
Noticing his gaze, Zheng Dan nodded slightly: "Hello, Zu Tongxue."
Zu An replied awkwardly, "Hello, Miss Zheng."
This woman is really something. She used to call me "good brother" and "good husband" non-stop, but now she's acting so distant in front of others.
However, he also admired how accurately the other party had measured the line.
"Are you going to Sifang Pavilion too?" Zu'an asked curiously as he noticed her heading towards the Wang family's carriage.
“Yes, it’s not just me, Miss Xie is too.” Zheng Dan said with a grin, pushing Xie Daoyun forward.
