Reaching consensus
In an instant, the fear of Lin Shu rose and fell like a flame.
Finally, it was held by Qi Fengling's cool hand.
The flame of fear was suddenly extinguished.
Su Liu pushed Qi Fengling's hand away and sat calmly in front of Lin Shu. After placing his hand on the pulse pillow, he looked up and looked directly into Lin Shu's eyes. For the first time, he honestly confided his deepest thoughts to someone other than Qi Fengling. "Because I like to see the filthiest side of human nature. It's at times like this that I can intuitively feel that compared to them, maybe I'm not that bad after all."
He uses the meanness of others to remind himself not to degenerate.
Lin Shu lowered her head and placed her fingers on Su Liu's wrist. Hearing this, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile that was beyond Su Liu's expectations. "So, there are people in this world who are even crazier than me? Haha..."
"Maybe. At least I think some people deserve to die. In my script, she should die." Su Liu was referring to the incident with Hong Yan. As a vampire, he clearly saw Lin Shu give Hong Yan an injection, and blood dripped from her fingertips...
"Your medical skills are not up to par," Lin Shu raised an eyebrow and moved his finger away from Su Liu's vitals. "The gate of life and the gate of death are no more than three inches apart. That needle I gave her wasn't to save her."
"......" Su Liu had never been belittled like this before, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but in this daze, he was also a little happy.
The people he hates are also hated by people who are more powerful than him. Isn't this a kind of fate?
"You and your fiancé don't need my medical skills right now," Lin Shu stood up and began to pack up the Qing Nang. Her words also foreshadowed a farewell.
At this time, Mu Qingting came over with a bamboo basket. Inside was freshly picked loquats and raspberries, pale yellow and bright red, with a strange breath of new life in the sunlight. Mu Qingting's face had shed its hypocritical skin, and she looked more childish than before. She took Lin Shu's hand, bowed slightly in Su Liu's direction, looked at Lin Shu happily and said, "What took you so long? Brother Jing has prepared dinner for you. Didn't you always say that you wanted to try his cooking? Don't leave today."
"I have time for a meal, but I have to leave before evening. I have something else to do." Lin Shu's eyes, which could see through human nature, were filled with godly compassion when he looked at Mu Qingting.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Qingting was slightly stunned.
"I have some clues about your sister's matter," Lin Shu said without saying much, but just casually dropped a bombshell.
Mu Qingting's expression flashed with a slight disgust, but soon he acted as if he had heard nothing and pulled Lin Shu away.
Mu Qingting's sister?
The original book did not mention it much, but due to the hidden rule that the characters in the novel cannot be unrelated, and some small details that Mu Qingting implicitly disliked his sister, readers speculated that Mu Qingting's sister should be the killer that "Dawn of Tomorrow" secretly cultivated through inhuman means: a demon child who killed people without blinking an eye at the age of six and had no sense of morality.
Mu Qingting and Mo Tong are like two poles of the world.
One tries hard to forget that she ever had a sister, because if she doesn't forget, she will become very miserable.
One tries hard to remember the warmth her sister once gave her, and then imagines herself stabbing a sharp knife into the beating heart of this sister who faked her own death and abandoned her.
But they never met.
Now I see that Lin Shu also did it.
When Su Liu saw this scene, he had some unrealistic associations. He thought that if Dawn of Tomorrow could successfully cultivate this demon child, they must have had a similar success case before, but the person who was the case was unknown. When the protagonists destroyed the experimental base, they only saw piles of the bodies of failed people, as if the truth was that simple, the demon child was the only successful product after repeated experiments.
It also seems that the author forgot this hidden foreshadowing while writing.
At this time, the sound of Ji He's stomach rumbling interrupted Su Liu's thoughts. When Su Liu looked at Ji He, Ji He blushed and avoided her eyes. Su Liu laughed and said, "Let's go eat."
The cafeteria was noisy as usual.
After receiving lunch, Su Liu and the others found a seat near the door and sat down.
The "fiancé" Lao Fu was drinking and bragging at the next table, "...He can't live without me. How can that dead guy Congge compare to me? He was just playing with Congge. His heart is still with me."
How can Lao Fu, a mama's boy in the late stage of "seed cancer", fight against "Fenfen", an Omega who says one thing to one person and another thing to another? It's only been a few days, and he has forgotten the pain and is still trying to find excuses for "Fenfen".
"Old Fu, your injury hasn't fully healed yet, right? Why are you drinking?" Others teased him with a smile.
An old drunkard like Lao Fu has his own theory that "drinking is good for health", and the people who are with him are not good people. Naturally, they would not be so tactless as to persuade him. The topic soon shifted to another incident.
As everyone was chatting, "Fenfen" and a few Omegas came over carrying two baskets of raspberries.
The bright red fruits are plump and juicy.
"This is what the Duke distributed to everyone," said Manager Gu, his lips red from eating, carrying a small bamboo basket. Amidst the chorus of compliments from the crowd, he raised his hand to signal for silence and continued, "Fenfen, please share it among us."
"Fenfen" took out a small-aperture colander from the basket, passed Su Liu and the others who were closest to him, and started distributing the food directly from Lao Fu's table. The closer the person was to the front, the bigger the portion would be.
Ji He whispered, "Why is that? Do we still have a share?"
Su Liu held the soup bowl in both hands and drank it in small sips. He smiled when he heard the words. He could even foresee how "Fenfen" was going to take revenge.
It's ridiculous.
It was obvious that there was no personal grudge between him and the "Fenfen" group. It was only because of a few exaggerated words from his beauty, and because he had a crush on Qi Fengling, that they wanted to kill him. It was not surprising that they were secretly doing him a little harm.
Sure enough, when I returned to Su Liu and the others' table again.
There were less than ten fruits left in the colander, and they were squeezed and deformed, with juice leaking out. There were even some black scars on the surface of the flesh, which looked not very tasty.
"Oh, there are only a few left. Do you want them?" Their tone was full of gloating. These were the bad fruits that others had not picked out and thrown back into the basket. "They are very sweet. It would be a shame if you don't want them."
People with questionable character, even if they gain a little bit of power, will make things difficult for others to the greatest extent possible within the scope of their power.
Ji He was overwhelmed by the words and had to take the bowl to receive it.
"Fenfen" was not going to let Su Liu go so easily. He shook his hand and deliberately dropped the fruits onto the ground along the edge of the bowl when he got close to the bowl that Ji He extended.
Su Liu glanced at the Alphas sitting next to Lao Fu at the next table. Those Alphas were the unlucky ones who had just been diagnosed by Lin Shu as being "poisoned". Their lives and property were in Su Liu's hands. When Su Liu saw them, one of them immediately stood up, slammed the table and shouted, "This is too much."
Then, in Su Liu's shocked eyes, he picked up the fruits on the ground and stuffed them into Fenfen's mouth. "Such delicious fruits, you should try some too. You worked so hard to share the fruits with us. We all see it."
Ji He widened his eyes and covered his mouth.
"Fenfen"'s eyes were full of anger, but he could not resist the strength of an Alpha.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lian Gu, the head of the group, quietly ran out with a small basket. He was just a Beta and had a natural fear of Alphas in his bones.
The other Alphas who did not take action also began to blame "Fenfen".
The atmosphere suddenly turned into a struggle session against "Fenfen".
More and more people who got less started to make a fuss.
Old Fu picked up the wine on the table and while no one thought of implicating him, he immediately followed the example of Master Gu and ran away. After all, his injuries had not healed yet and he could not withstand the torture.
"Fenfen" watched indifferently as Manager Gu and Lao Fu fled. When the Alpha stopped covering his mouth tightly, he immediately spat the contents of his mouth onto the man's face. While the Alpha was stunned, he stepped forward and slapped the man in the face, then immediately turned around and ran away.
There was chaos in the cafeteria.
There was an endless stream of people trying to stop the Alpha from chasing and hitting others, trying to stop the fight, cursing, and gathering together to complain.
People's curses quickly extended from "Fenfen" to "Fenfen"'s backers.
"Last time, someone got their work points deducted just for filling in the wrong homophone. And when Old Fu forgot to feed the horse, wasn't that easily brushed off by Manager Gu's simple "Everyone makes mistakes?"
"Don't mention it. You all know Xiao Cheng, right? He's a real stunner at farm work, but wasn't he forced to herd sheep by Master Gu, who abused his position for personal gain? That would have been fine, but Master Gu then let his nephew, who knows nothing about farming, take charge. He pretends to know everything and gives orders without any context. It really annoys us brothers."
"Hey? Those who work well work themselves to death and no one cares, but those who work poorly get promoted and even come to control us. Is this still the Duke's manor? It's not a prison, is it?"
"Who says it isn't? With these idiots running the estate, it's going to go bankrupt one day."
Among these people who spoke so eloquently, there were some who had conflicts with Su Liu and others before. Now they were speaking up for Xiao Cheng. Before, they had isolated Xiao Cheng and treated him as a soft persimmon.
Besides, when Su Liu looked at those people before, she didn't mean that. She just wanted them to give the fruits in their hands to Ji He. Who knew they could understand it that way? It was speechless.
However, I felt a little relieved for some reason.
Manager Ji arrived soon.
As soon as he arrived, he called Su Liu out for questioning. It was obvious that he was blaming Su Liu for everything.
Su Liu immediately stood up and followed him.
Just as Ji He and Qi Fengling were about to follow, Dang Xia came over with a basket of large, red, premium raspberries. "Xiaohong! Come and try some! I picked them myself."
Dangxia is indeed a reliable backer.
For a moment, everyone was jealous.
There were raspberries half the size of loquats, which they had only seen on the tea tables of nobles before. Now they were eaten by Su Liu, a person as lowly as them. They felt bad.
Manager Ji was speechless for a moment. He just whispered, "Don't cause trouble all the time. The Duke's Manor is not a place for you to do whatever you want." Then he flicked his sleeves and left quickly.
Manager Gu deserves credit for Manager Ji being able to say such things.
Su Liu was no pushover either. Just before Steward Ji was about to leave his sight and hearing range, he muttered, "My backer is a friend of the Duke. What's the point of an old slave like you barking like a dog?"
Manager Ji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Old? Slave?
Manager Ji almost forgot how to write these two words, and of course there was no way he could be associated with these two words. Su Liu actually hit his lungs in one go.
However, he couldn't actually go back and curse at Su Liu, he was almost suffocating himself.
Manager Ji clenched his fists and quickened his pace away from Su Liu. He didn't want to hear any more bad words.
Su Liu is simply his nemesis.
Qi Fengling looked at Su Liu and gave a subtle smile.
Ji He knew nothing. Dang Xia picked a few big ones and fed them to Ji He. He tasted them and soon became happy, "So sweet..."
