Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1688:

Seeing the small porcelain bottle, Ji Lei also breathed a sigh of relief. After taking it, he looked at Luo Qianqian and sincerely said, ”Take care of your injuries. I’m leaving now. Vice Dean, I’ll take my leave first.”

”Mm,” the old man nodded at Ji Lei, watching him leave the room, then smirked mischievously, ”Isn’t this unknowingly benefiting them?”

Qhianqhian: ”...” What kind of hobby is this? Using bathing water as medicine? Does He Wenyu think he’s a turtle? So that bathing water can serve as soup?

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s expression, the old man snorted discontentedly, ”You’re surely cursing me in your heart! But if the medicine is given to him, there won’t be enough elixir for Luo Shiliu next. Do you think the raw materials for making elixirs are so easy to find?”

Luo Qianqian, being called out, looked a bit embarrassed. But after hearing the old man’s reasoning, she couldn’t help but nod.

This is true... In any case, He Wenyu can’t be left unable to fully detoxify because of a shortage of drugs.

”He just consumed your leftover things, wasn’t directly injured, so it’s not necessary to be too serious.” The old man continued.

Luo Qianqian was taken aback but then thought of that... half-raw ingredient and the pot of mushrooms.

People nowadays really have no taboos? Back when Ning Wei found her burnt grilled fish, he was amazed by it, and now someone is interested in half-raw ingredients?

And Ji Lei, holding the porcelain bottle, soon wore a strange expression upon leaving. Why is this bottle still warm? Could the medicine be freshly brewed?

Thinking it over, he was also relieved, since He Wenyu’s injuries were more severe, even if it was freshly brewed, nothing strange there.

More importantly, she didn’t ask the Vice Dean for the medicine! If the Vice Dean had it, there would have been better options?

However... considering there were still two patients over there, who were her students, it wouldn’t be good if rumors were spread. So, he decided to consult with his friends for solutions.

He Wenyu lay in the Bath Tub, waited for a long time, and then Luo Qianqian entered again.

”What’s up? What was that small bottle for earlier?” He Wenyu saw Luo Qianqian still holding a new small porcelain bottle, and was immediately surprised, ”What’s this for?”

”Your bathing water was taken as medicine by someone, and they’re going to ingest it. Just unsure for whom Ji Lei was seeking the medicine, inexplicably curious...” Luo Qianqian chuckled gossipishly, but opened the box containing the elixir beside her, sifted two layers of powder from it.

”Taken as medicine... Wasn’t it the person who drank the mushroom soup?” He Wenyu was stunned.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, ”We didn’t make it into soup; it was just processed, okay? In the end, it seemed just piled up together, and we tidied everything up.”

”Seems so, is this considered a serious consequence of gluttony?” He Wenyu looked at her bathing water, feeling a bit embarrassed.

However, considering the other person didn’t know this, and her bathing water wasn’t like a swimming pool’s, it’s okay.

Most importantly, wasn’t there a story about a princess who shared her bath milk with the common people to drink? This isn’t the first time such a thing happened...

As long as she wasn’t a trailblazer, she felt relieved.

Luo Qianqian silently rolled her eyes, this person seemed so quick to take things lightly.

Considering that He Wenyu was bathed by her before soaking, it’s like a piece of meat falling into a medicine pot, no big deal.

Thus, both became relieved.

Since there’s no other solution, right?

He Wenyu pouted, looking at Luo Qianqian, ”But somehow, the poisoned person seems implicated by us too?”

”That’s how I feel, but why are people nowadays so gluttonous? When Ning Wei picked up my burnt grilled fish, I wanted to bring that up, and now there’s someone picking up half-cooked food? As far as I’m aware, wasn’t the skin not even cooked back then?” Luo Qianqian asked with genuine curiosity.

In their world, even if food was dropped on the road, someone might pick it up and throw it into the trash at most, not eat it.

But on these two occasions... someone actually picked them up and ate them.

The first time was tolerable, happily receiving ’compliments’ for her skills, leaving her feeling somewhat proud.

And it was a classmate, with no severe consequences, tolerable.

This time, eating and getting poisoned, one mistake could lead to a life lost! How could they not feel guilty?

”Why don’t we start collecting uneaten items in case something serious happens? That’d be awful.” He Wenyu agreed, fearing getting used to it, leading to possibly offering bath water solution spontaneously the next time.

”Agreed.” Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly.

Picking up garbage is normal, protecting nature and preventing others from emulating their actions. Only problem, the items they discard aren’t actual garbage.

Now, the only consolation is the absence of plastic materials, except for rare plastic bottles treated as treasures, hardly tossed around.

”Oh, hopefully it’s not drunk by a handsome guy, or I’d fantasize a lot.” He Wenyu couldn’t help but wonder who the unfortunate one was.

Meanwhile, the poor fellow lay in Ji Lei’s bed, head under the blanket, only a human figure visible.

Ji Lei hastily held a bowl, filled with green liquid, emitting a fresh scent.

”Get up and drink the medicine.” Ji Lei sniffed, confirming the medicine was freshly brewed.

Helping the person up, forcing the liquid into his mouth, watching him lay back pale, he relaxed.

”Ah, it’s hard being a brother!” Ji Lei lamented, ”Especially having a younger brother more excellent with more possessions.”

Though he’s the elder brother, his possessions are far fewer than this person.

Fortunately, this person doesn’t care for those things and shares, thus maintaining great camaraderie.

If not, they might have become enemies long ago.

”If you want some, it’s yours.”
