This incompetent Alpha, who's more trouble than he's worth, only ever causes me problems.
Gao Tingyu's expression changed slightly. She forced a smile, trying to find an excuse for the Alpha, while also saving face for herself. She stuck out her tongue, "Brother Song, you've misunderstood. My brother just couldn't bear to ignore me; he's just in a bad mood today."
Shi Xi didn't say anything, and she really did seem to be in a bad mood.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Hearing that Shi Xi was about to leave, Gao Tingyu panicked and immediately grabbed the hem of Shi Xi's clothes, shaking it pitifully.
"Brother...you said last time that completing the mission would raise enough money for the surgery, so about the surgery..."
Why are you leaving? When are you going to give me back my heart?
Because of her illness, Gao Tingyu's face was pale. She looked at Shi Xi expectantly and said, "Brother, you promised you would cure me."
[He hasn't mentioned the surgery at all. Is this good-for-nothing really planning to abandon me?]
That won't do.
Shi Xi looked down at her, and Gao Tingyu felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so she let go of his hand with a wronged expression.
Following the script, Shi Xi delivered her line: "I've discussed it with the doctor, and the surgery will be scheduled for next month."
[This is a slap on the wrist! Why wait until next month?!]
[That useless beta is definitely regretting it now. Is he going to run away? No, I can't be soft-hearted anymore. What will I do if he runs away?]
"I'm an Alpha, how can I die!"
Shi Xi listened to her thoughts expressionlessly.
According to the plot, Gao Buran's condition deteriorated rapidly after this meeting.
It seems that Gao Tingyu was involved in this.
Gao Tingyu smiled with delight, then took out a box of medicine from the drawer, poured out two pills, and gave them to Shi Xi.
"Brother, you forgot to take your medicine."
Shi Xi looked at the medicine handed to her, then looked at Gao Tingyu.
Ever since Gao Buran failed to get into military academy and became depressed, he started taking the medication that Gao Tingyu gave him.
He did ask Gao Tingyu once where the medicine came from—
Gao Tingyu's answer at the time was that she had asked someone to get a doctor to prescribe a highly effective antidepressant.
Gao Buran had no doubts and has been eating it ever since.
But Shi Xi heard Gao Tingyu's inner thoughts and did not believe in this so-called miracle drug.
[What is this special medicine?] Shi Xi asked her system, Cold Remedy, in her mind.
The cold medicine took a few seconds to reply, "After testing... it's poison."
The little yellow chick in her mind was incredibly indignant: [Holy crap! Shi Xi, it turns out Gao Buran didn't have any hereditary disease at all! It was Gao Tingyu who drugged him, just waiting to raise the medical fees to take his heart!!!]
[She's so cruel! Gao Buran was so good to her!!]
Shi Xi took the medicine, her eyes darkening.
He glanced at Gao Tingyu, and said calmly, "I'm feeling much better lately, I probably don't need to take any medicine."
"How can this be!" Gao Tingyu exclaimed in surprise, then realized something was wrong and quickly composed herself, putting on a "you're doing this for my own good" expression. "Brother, the doctor said you need to take medicine continuously to get better."
Are you the doctor yourself?
Shi Xi mentally complained.
"Okay, I'll eat it."
He then picked up the medicine and took it.
"Shi Xi, what did you eat?!" the little yellow chick cried out in surprise, covering its head.
Seeing Shi Xi obediently take the medicine, Gao Tingyu lowered her head, a smug look on her face.
[Hmph, he really thinks this piece of trash has some ambition? He's still just as easy to manipulate as I am.]
Gao Buran was just an ordinary beta, and the only purpose of being taken to her home was to serve as her heart storage vessel.
Gao Tingyu has always felt both jealousy and contempt for Gao Buran.
He, a beta, can become the number one mercenary; once she gets Gao Buran's heart, she will definitely become the most powerful Alpha.
At that time, what would Imperial Marshal Jiang Yichen be compared to her? She would definitely trample Jiang Yichen underfoot, become the new Imperial Marshal, and be revered by thousands!
As Gao Tingyu watched Shi Xi's departing figure, her greedy and vicious gaze fell upon the other's back.
Heart.
Her heart.
...
[Shi Xi, are you stupid? Spit out the medicine right now!]
The little yellow chick in her mind was jumping and hopping anxiously, wishing it could materialize and scoop the medicine out of Shi Xi's stomach.
"What are you vomiting for?" Shi Xi closed the hospital room door without changing her expression. "How can we continue the storyline if you vomit?"
"..." The little yellow chick suddenly froze.
That's when I remembered what happened next in the story—
Gao Buran fell ill and was unexpectedly seen by Chi Zaiqing.
Seeing Gao Buran, who was so powerful yesterday, now in such a painful and embarrassing state, Chi Zaiqing couldn't help but think of Jiang Yichen.
The thought that Jiang Yichen might be in danger at any moment came to mind.
Chi Zaiqing then abandoned her aversion to the arranged marriage and realized that she had fallen in love with Jiang Yichen, thus facing her feelings directly.
"Cold medicine." Shi Xi asked, "Is the pain shield still on?"
[With the engine running] The little yellow chick lay on the ground, utterly dejected, somewhat regretting its foolish behavior just now.
It just felt that this was too cheap for Gao Tingyu, so why should it be?
Gao Buran gave everything for her, only to be raised a heartless wretch. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
【(▼盘▼#)】
"Increase the pain sensitivity tenfold and transfer it to Gao Tingyu."
【Huh? (′?w?｀)】
"What, you can't do it?" Shi Xi raised an eyebrow.
【We can do it! We guarantee to complete the mission!】 The little yellow chick was fully revived, raised its wings, and bowed.
"That's fine then." A cold glint flashed in Shi Xi's violet eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
The next second, a shrill scream came from the ward.
Shi Xi ignored him and left the hospital.
The ward was in a flurry of activity, but even the maximum dose of painkillers prescribed by the doctor couldn't alleviate Gao Tingyu's pain at all.
...
After leaving the hospital, Shi Xi walked to a corner of a large shopping mall.
In the story, Chi Zaiqing came to buy mecha parts and accidentally discovered him.
For some reason, Shi Xi didn't feel anything after taking the poison.
Could it be that the medicine didn't work?
Shi Xi guessed.
"Are you ready?" the little yellow chick asked.
"Ready." Shi Xi clenched her fist.
【Then I'll turn off pain blocking】
"Mm." Shi Xi nodded.
"…………"
A minute later, Shi Xi asked, a little confused, "Did you turn off the cold medicine?"
[It was shut down a long time ago!] The little yellow chicken was equally bewildered.
"I don't feel anything." Shi Xi even wondered if there was something wrong with the system.
The little yellow chicken felt twice as much pain.
Shi Xi: "..."
Three times the pain.
Shi Xi: "..."
Five times the pain.
Shi Xi: "..."
Ten times the pain.
Shi Xi: "..."
"Shi Xi, what should we do? Chi Zaiqing is coming right away!" the little yellow chick said in a panic.
The next second, Shi Xi collapsed to the ground, letting out painful yet restrained sobs.
His frail body trembled uncontrollably, looking as if he was on the verge of collapse.
Passersby who witnessed this immediately kept their distance.
The cold medicine was stunned.
【Huh? ? ? ╭(°A°`)╮】
