Cheng Shuang's eyes flickered slightly. She heard faint sobs coming from behind Uncle Sun and was somewhat troubled. "Yes, but I don't know if it's the right one." She was referring to the antidote developed by Animal Planet that Old Axe had prepared for her.
Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps echoed in the room. Lianrong ran out and headed straight for Cheng Shuang outside the door. Her eyes were blank and bloodshot from crying. She ran so fast that she even missed Sun Han, who was standing at the door. It was only by Sun Han taking a few steps back that the two were spared the pain of bumping into each other.
"Xiao He, give it to me quickly, the antidote, give it to me quickly!" Her voice was low, hoarse, and sharp. She grabbed Cheng Shuang's wrist and dug her long nails into it. Her bloodshot eyes looked at the little girl like those of a wild beast that had lost control.
Cheng Shuang winced in pain and subconsciously looked at Sun Han. Sun Han nodded solemnly, indicating that the old man's condition was getting worse.
The little girl struggled to break free from Lianrong. Because she understood Lianrong's feelings, she wouldn't blame her for accidentally hurting herself. But she had to admit that this woman, who was half-mad and on the verge of collapse, was quite different from the usual Lianrong.
Seeing Cheng Shuang push her away, Lian Rong immediately panicked, her wide eyes filled with disbelief. Then, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip, her knees buckled, and she was about to kneel down.
If Han Meimei hadn't been quick enough to grab her, the little girl probably would have had to endure it whether she wanted to or not.
Sun Han's face darkened. He hadn't expected Lian Rong to be so impatient. Without the old man's supervision, her emotional intelligence was so low that it was unbearable.
Her kneeling was nothing short of putting the young girl in a very difficult position.
If Cheng Shuang gives her the medicine, that would be fine, as her filial piety is truly touching. But if she doesn't give her the medicine, the temporary team will definitely be unable to continue when it reaches a critical moment.
Besides, an exchange was agreed upon.
Making her kneel down would make Cheng Shuang seem heartless. Forget about exchanging favors; if the old man's medication stops working, it would be easy for her to stop hating Cheng Shuang.
That's incredibly incompetent!
This was a shared complaint between Sun Han and Han Meimei.
When a loved one is in trouble, who wouldn't be anxious? But you can't let your brain shut down!
Besides, if Cheng Shuang didn't want to give it, wouldn't it be easier to get rid of trouble by simply denying it?
The little girl was also a bit annoyed. She walked past Lianrong expressionlessly and stepped into the house. When Lianrong followed with tears in her eyes, she glanced at her lightly, snorted heavily, and a can the size of a fire extinguisher appeared out of thin air and stood with a thud in front of the old man's bed.
"Grandpa, please wake up! I don't know if my medicine can save you, but if you wake up, at least your granddaughter won't cause any trouble. If you're worried about her, please wake up!" To be honest, Cheng Shuang was willing to take the medicine because she had a good impression of the grandfather and granddaughter before, but now it was only for the old man.
The little girl was such a perceptive child; she naturally didn't miss the coldness in Lianrong's eyes. Yesterday, she could still feel close to the carefree yet kind-hearted Lianrong, but today she was completely dismissive.
Lianrong knew she had offended Cheng Shuang, so she didn't even glance at her. Holding the antidote halfway, she anxiously asked Sun Han, "How do I use it? Tell me quickly how to use it?"
Han Meimei couldn't stand it anymore, "You're using medicine so recklessly, what if..."
"How can it be misuse of medicine? Didn't Brother Sun say it was poisoning?" Lianrong shouted, her bloodshot eyes startling Han Meimei into taking a step back.
Sun Han and Cheng Shuang frowned and exchanged a glance.
No wonder Lianrong met her end. Her emotions were too unstable, and the old man probably couldn't leave her side for even a moment. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happened, given her condition, the outcome would not be hard to predict.
Sun Han explained helplessly, "I was just guessing..."
"I don't care!" Lianrong screamed in despair, "I want my grandfather to wake up."
Han Meimei was so worried about her boyfriend that she was on edge. She didn't want to say anything more and simply pulled Cheng Shuang out the door.
The little girl glanced back at Sun Han and saw him quietly wave to her before following Han Meimei's lead to the main room.
The window in the girl's room was slightly ajar, and someone inside was already up, complaining, "This one's making noise first thing in the morning, that one's making noise too, what kind of mentality do they have? I'm so sleepy!"
"Sister Han, do you think they really sleep that soundly?" Cheng Shuang was referring to the boys' room. Coincidentally, their window was also slightly open, so the soundproofing was naturally not as good as if the window was closed.
Han Meimei shook her head and said coldly, "We'll only know if we go in and see for ourselves."
The little girl silently pursed her lips. Both of them had someone they cared about in trouble, but their reactions were completely different. Although her beloved grandfather and her short-term boyfriend might not be of the same importance, wasn't calmly solving the problem the best way to help the person she cared about?
“Your sister Lianrong is still young.” Han Meimei saw the disapproval in the little girl’s eyes and rubbed her temples wearily. “She’s probably been too well protected by the old man!” She seems quite independent, but in reality, she is emotionally dependent to an immature degree.
The two stopped talking about it, and Han Meimei reached out and knocked on the boys' room, but no one answered for a long time.
She increased the force until she knocked on the window, causing the girl next to her to open it. With messy hair and sleepy eyes, she impatiently scolded, "Are you guys alright?! It's so early in the morning, why aren't you sleeping in your rooms? Disturbing people's sleep is rude, you know!"
It seems that this person is sleeping on a soft couch, which is located near the window.
Cheng Shuang quickly analyzed the height at which the other person peeked out, concluding that they were probably kneeling on the soft couch.
"I'm sorry, one of our young men has gone missing. He's my boyfriend, so I wanted to ask if any of the boys at your school have seen him." Han Meimei explained calmly without getting angry.
The girl immediately revealed a gloating expression, looked Han Meimei up and down with a harsh and critical look that was quite disrespectful, then clicked her tongue and turned around to shout, "Zhou Ting, one of the seven people over there is a young man who has gone missing, did you see him!"
"What does this have to do with me!"
"Aren't you known as the 'man's nemesis,' the one who makes all discerning men unable to look away! And the more girlfriends you have, the prettier they are, the more you'll conquer them..."
Cheng Shuang didn't hear the malicious teasing and joking that followed; her ears were covered by a cool, gentle hand.
The little girl tilted her head and glanced at Han Meimei, whose face was pale with anger, and gently patted her lower back to comfort her.
"Sister Han, kick down the door!" She was referring to the boys' room. There was still no response from inside despite the loud noise, meaning they were no longer asleep.
The little girl covered her ears, freeing Han Meimei's hands, and smiled mischievously, "I don't want to listen to this bastard's ramblings!"
Han Meimei curled her lips, and without saying a word, she and Cheng Shuang simultaneously kicked open the boy's bedroom door.
Inside the door, there was a pool of blood, and a strong stench of blood permeated the air.
The person lying on the ground was in the same state as the burly boy; his skin was covered with countless bloody holes, and he was definitely dead. The two boys lying slumped on the bed had pale faces and were breathing very weakly.
There were originally four boys, but now one of them is missing.
