At this moment, Xiang Wan deeply missed the advanced devices of the modern world, such as pinhole cameras, voice recorders, and websites that could post videos at any time, so that everyone could see them. Even if the person who committed the crime had connections, they couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and would eventually be dealt with according to the law.
But even if she had these now, it would be useless. She's just a student and doesn't have the money to buy them. It's so sad!
For this meeting, Xiang Wan needed to prepare quite a few things, such as the medicinal herbs that Xiao Pang and the others sent, and Yu Wuqing.
Speaking of this, Xiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle. When she was in high school, her friends thought she was going abroad, and they were so reluctant to let her go, crying their eyes out (cough, that's a bit of an exaggeration). It took a lot of persuasion to make them understand what a bright future awaited them. These friends were determined to follow in her footsteps, and through their hard work, some of them actually got into the school. So, Xiang Wan, using her adult status, rented a room off-campus and, under the pretense of knowing a doctor, provided the male homeowner with medicinal herbs, thus establishing a free contact point. Every week, Xiang Wan would go out to organize and prepare the necessary items, writing down what she needed on a piece of paper for her friends to collect. This wasn't entirely unpaid; there had to be some incentive for people to do it, right? So Xiang Wan stipulated that whoever had time to come over would bring the herbs and, incidentally, sell the prepared items, with the proceeds distributed uniformly according to their earnings.
Xiang Wan had a clear plan. To keep her friends with her, besides teaching them basic knowledge from the beginning, there needed to be a connection of mutual benefit to ensure a long-term relationship. After all, people grow up and have other needs, and mutual benefit is what binds them together. Xiang Wan was the key figure; as long as she was there, her group of friends wouldn't fall apart. Unfortunately, they didn't have much money, and while they occasionally received small sums, it was still much better than being stuck in a remote mountain village. Yu Xiaoguang even considered dropping out of school to come over, but Xiang Wan gave him a good beating before he gave up.
After the heat of those events subsided, Yu Wuqing could no longer stir up any trouble, and his attention turned back to Li Mu. Upon learning that Li Mu was in this city, he followed him, but had yet to find him.
"This system is brilliant and powerful, yet you've used it for this. Don't ever say you know me again."
007 looked at her with obvious disdain, but Xiang Wan rolled her eyes at it and ignored it, focusing on packing her things into her little backpack.
When the appointed time arrived, Xiang Wan slung her bag over her shoulder and headed towards the hotel where Li Mu was.
At that time, the hotel was far less comfortable than modern hotels, but it was still much better than a dormitory. When Xiang Wan knocked on the door and went in, Li Mu was having dinner in the living room.
"Xiang Wan, you're here? Have you eaten? Let's eat together!"
As he spoke, Li Mu placed the prepared bowls and chopsticks opposite him, gesturing for Xiang Wan to sit down.
After a long day, she was indeed quite hungry. Xiang Wan didn't refuse; it wouldn't be too late to get down to business after she had eaten. With her sense of smell and observation, she could tell that there was nothing extra added to the food, but the cup was unusable.
After quickly finishing what she was doing, Xiang Wan handed the materials the teacher had given her to Li Mu.
"No rush, I just finished eating, let me have some water first."
Li Mu filled Xiang Wan's glass to the brim and handed it to her.
Xiang Wan took it, held it to her nose, took a deep breath, and asked, "Hmm, teacher, why does this water taste a little strange?"
"This is a special cup provided by the hotel. There's only one of its kind. Ordinary people can't even get to drink from it. Since you went to the trouble of delivering this to the teacher, I'll let you try it first and see if the water tastes better when it's served in a different cup."
She made it sound like Xiang Wan had never seen the world.
"Is there only one serving? I see your cup is the same as mine. Is it any better?"
"Oh, there's a pair of these cups. The teacher just tasted them and they're really good. You should have some too, since you have to go back to school soon."
"Really? I have to try it! Teacher, you should have some too!"
As she spoke, Xiang Wan lowered her head to touch the water glass, but just as her lips were about to touch it, she looked up at Li Mu and smiled, "Teacher, I think I just heard someone knocking on the door."
A hint of impatience flashed in Li Mu's eyes. "No, you misheard."
"I really heard it, teacher, should we go check it out?"
Seeing Xiang Wan's expectant expression, Li Mu had no choice but to get up and go open the door.
Xiang Wan immediately switched her water glass with Li Mu's, and then poured the water from her glass under the bed.
There was no one outside.
Li Mu walked over, and Xiang Wan smiled at him, saying, "Oh, I thought someone was checking the rooms. I've already finished drinking. Teacher, you've worked hard, have some water too."
The original owner had beautiful eyes; when she smiled, they possessed a captivating beauty. At school, she was known for her aloofness and rarely smiled, otherwise she could easily make people's noses bleed. In modern terms, she was a walking embodiment of hormones.
System: ...I'm speechless to have a host like this.
Li Mu stared intently at Xiang Wan, then instinctively picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. Thinking about what was about to happen, his blood surged.
"Teacher, would you like some more?"
Li Mu nodded unconsciously, and Xiang Wan poured him another full glass, watching him drink it.
Xiang Wan calmly pulled the documents out of her bag. The eyes behind her were fixed on her, but she remained calm. Who could be unable to handle this after experiencing several worlds?
"Teacher, here are the materials you requested. If there are no problems, I'll head back now."
As Xiang Wan was about to turn around and leave, Li Mu grabbed her wrist.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Your face is so red. Do you have a fever? Lie down and I'll get you a glass of water."
Xiang Wan helped Li Mu sit down on the bed, then laid him down on the bed, and turned to pour water.
Judging from Li Mu's expression, he must have been drugged again. Xiang Wan was quite helpless: how come she always runs into him in every world? Is she born with an eye-catching constitution, the kind who uses drugs when she can't get what she wants?
Ugh, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
Xiang Wan tucked her elbows in, took out some powder from her bag, and put it in the water: "Anyway, Li Mu got the medicine himself, so adding a little something extra to let him experience the taste of hell isn't a bad idea."
Xiang Wan was finally relieved after seeing Li Mu drink it.
"Teacher, please rest well. I'll tell the front desk to send someone to take care of you. I'll head back now; I have class to teach later."
With that, Xiang Wan ignored Li Mu's reluctant expression, picked up her bag, and left.
Hehe, Yu Wuqing, I've helped you again. If you mess up again this time, no one can help you.
That's right, the receptionist Xiang Wan found was Yu Wuqing. This girl needed to support herself after coming to the city, so she worked as a cleaner here. Now that the person she longed for was here, Xiang Wan refused to believe that this girl wouldn't seize the opportunity.
