Chapter 51 Xie Tinglan was also shocked
Xia Linxing stealthily stuck his head in first. After confirming that there was no one else in the dormitory, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and entered the dormitory.
He placed the transparent plastic bag containing the medicine on the table.
"It's finally over..." Xia Linxing slumped down in the chair. Although it was just a trip to the infirmary, Xia Linxing felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, the result was good. Xia Linxing finally succeeded in obtaining the laxatives needed for the plot. Next, he only needed to put the drugs in Shen Sibai's water on the day of the performance, and the mission would be completed.
After all, if the drug was given now, Shen Sibai might have recovered by the day of the performance.
Xia Linxing stood up, intending to hide the medicine box before heading off to training. He walked around his desk and was about to stuff the medicine box into the closet when System 999 suddenly spoke and stopped him.
"Baby..." System 999 said seriously, "Out of caution, I think..."
"Let's make a cup of medicine first and see..."
System 999 seriously analyzed the previous two "failures": they were not well prepared and had not rehearsed once, which led to a slight mistake and a huge error.
"Huh?" Xia Linxing paused as she was about to stuff the medicine box into her mouth. "Of course I can, but... why?"
His big round eyes were full of confusion.
System 999's heart softened, and he swallowed his analysis of failure. He said, "Look, we have to soak the medicine once beforehand to know what it will look like when put into water, right?"
After all, this was their first time getting this kind of medicine, and they had no idea what color or smell it would have when soaked in water...
For example, if the medicine cannot be dissolved by cold water, then it must be dissolved with hot water in advance, otherwise the powder will settle at the bottom of the water bottle. Doesn't this clearly tell Shen Sibai that there is something wrong with the water?
For example, if this powder is colored, it would be equivalent to telling Shen Sibai directly, "Has someone touched your water bottle?"
——Give me medicine, give me medicine. Only medicine that is colorless and tasteless can be called giving me medicine.
Therefore, they had better make the powder in advance to confirm. If the powder doesn't work, they need to think of other ways.
"You're right, 999." Xia Linxing also looked serious. Success is reserved for those who are prepared! So he stopped stuffing the medicine box, opened it, and took out a packet of laxatives from it.
"Swish", he tore open the package.
"999, it's white powder!" Xia Linxing looked down and showed her dimples happily.
"Okay!" System 999 was also very happy. Generally speaking, white powder has no color after dissolving in water. However, out of caution, System 999 still asked Xia Linxing to brew a cup and see.
It would be even better if the medicine powder was the kind that is very soluble in water.
Xia Linxing nodded. He poured the powder into his transparent glass, then opened a bottle of water and carefully poured some into it.
"999..." Xia Linxing shook the cup and looked at the almost motionless powder at the bottom of the cup. "Cold water doesn't seem to dissolve it."
System 999 made the decision: "Let's try the hot water!"
Xia Linxing brought the kettle and poured in the steaming hot water. The white powder at the bottom of the cup, swirling with the water, began to visibly decrease. Xia Linxing didn't even need to stir it; the powder dissolved completely on its own.
The liquid in the cup became transparent again.
"999!" Xia Linxing said happily, "It's colorless!" They don't have to make another trip!
Oh no, Xia Linxing thought seriously, they can’t be happy so early.
Although it has been confirmed that it is colorless, it has not yet been confirmed that it is odorless!
So, Xia Linxing naturally picked up the cup, blew the hot steam on the water surface, touched the water with his lips to test the temperature, and after confirming that the temperature was suitable for drinking -
He took a long sip quite naturally.
System 999: “?”
System 999: “!!!”
Xia Linxing swallowed the medicine with a gulp, smacking his lips and commenting, "It seems... to have a slight taste..."
"My cub!!!"
System 999 issued a sharp blast: "What did you just do?!"
"What 'what'?" Xia Linxing raised the cup in confusion, "I just took a sip of this medicine -"
Took a sip of medicine?
Took a sip of this medicine? ! ! !
Xia Linxing paused.
Xia Linxing was stunned.
Even Xie Tinglan, who was sitting in front of the surveillance screen, raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Um?
At first, he thought Xia Linxing was faking illness to prepare medicine for some bad intentions, especially after seeing him sneak back to the dormitory, his first reaction was to hide the medicine box. But just now, he actually saw Xia Linxing brew the medicine and drink a big sip himself.
Xie Tinglan looked at Xia Linxing, who was stuck in the surveillance footage as if he was offline and motionless, and gently touched his chin.
Could it be... that he is really sick?
But if you are really sick, why would you put foundation on your face to pretend to be sick?
On the screen, Xia Linxing was standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"999..." Xia Linxing stuttered, "I, I only drank one sip, it should be fine—"
Before he could finish his words, he heard his stomach growl, and then his stomach, which had been pretending to hurt, actually started to hurt this time.
"Wuwuwu..." Xia Linxing ran into the bathroom in the dormitory while crying in her heart.
After going back and forth again and again, Xia Linxing felt his legs were weak.
"This medicine..." He weakly clutched his stomach and slowly walked out of the bathroom, leaning against the wall. "Isn't the effect of this medicine a little too strong..."
He just took a sip!
But before he could finish complaining, Xia Linxing felt his stomach growling again, so he quickly turned around.
The bathroom door slammed shut. In the monitoring room, Xie Tinglan picked up a water bottle and stacked it on the tower of water bottles he had built on the table.
This "water tower" made of empty and half-filled water bottles that fell from the monitoring room was something he built for fun. Every time Xia Linxing went to the bathroom, Xie Tinglan would place a bottle on the table (to count).
As he arranged the bottles, he built a tower.
He placed the water bottle on the top of the wobbly "water tower" and carefully released his hands to protect both sides to prevent the "water tower" from collapsing due to instability.
After waiting for a long time for the "water tower" to stabilize, I looked up and found that the surveillance screen was empty.
Um?
Xie Tinglan stood up from his chair suddenly.
It’s been so long, and Xia Linxing hasn’t come out yet?
