After hearing Yuan Silei’s words, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She then frowned, asking, “Who told you that I was going to take the college entrance examination?”
Although her intention to take the college entrance exam was not a secret, not many people in school were aware of it. Even her classmates were unaware that she was set to take the exam the next day. However, Yuan Silei seemed to know.
Furthermore, she harbored suspicions about Yuan Silei’s purpose for visiting today. Even if Yuan Silei knew about her exam, it seemed unlikely that she came merely to offer well-wishes.
Yuan Silei’s face betrayed a hint of awkwardness, but she quickly masked it with a smile and continued, “Hehe, I happened to overhear some teachers from Class F discussing it. I’ve been wanting to wish you good luck, but I never found the chance. Tomorrow is your college entrance exam, Lengan, and I believe you’ll perform exceptionally well.”
Ye Leng’an leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, looking at Yuan Silei with a probing gaze. “Yuan Silei, there’s no need to act here. Although I don’t know your exact purpose for ing, I don’t believe a single word you just said.”
Yuan Silei’s face showed a touch of sadness after Ye Leng’an’s response.
“Lengan, how can you say that? Even though you refused to help me last time, I didn’t blame you. In my heart, we’re still good friends.”
Ye Lengan coldly chuckled. “Such words, would you believe them if spoken to others? Yuan Silei, why put on a show here? Just state your purpose and save everyone’s time.”
Confronted with Ye Leng’an’s unyielding attitude, Yuan Silei found herself at a loss for words.
“If there’s nothing else, please leave!” Ye Lengan was direct. “After all, as you know, I have the college entrance exam tomorrow, and 1 need to rest early tonight.”
Yuan Silei, feeling a sense of urgency, hastily pulled out a safety talisman from her bag and handed it to Ye Lengan. “Lengan, I know you have misunderstandings about me. However, I still consider you my best friend. I can’t offer much help for your exam tomorrow, but I got this talisman from the Confucius Temple. It’s a small gesture and my best wishes. I hope you accept it.”
Ye Lengan narrowed her eyes, a dark glint appearing. She silently observed the so-called safety talisman but made no move to take it.
Undeterred, Yuan Silei persisted in extending the item. However, with Ye Lengan refusing to accept it, the situation became increasingly awkward. Yuan Silei, nonetheless, stood her ground.
The two remained in a standoff, and the atmosphere in the living room grew tense.
After a prolonged silence, Yuan Silei spoke again. “Lengan, I know you’ve misunderstood me due to Ye Xiyuan’s incident. However, I came here this time solely to give you this talisman. I have no ulterior motives. If you’re worried that I tampered with it, you’re wele to inspect it.”
Her sincere demeanor lent an air of righteousness to the situation.
Despite Yuan Silei!s explanation, Ye Lengan’s expression remained unrelenting. She looked up at Yuan Silei and asked coldly, “Where did you get this?”
This question almost made Yuan Silei’s expression change dramatically.
However, she quickly posed herself and said with a smile, “Lengan, didn’t
I say it earlier? I specifically went to the Confucius Temple to obtain this.”
“Yuan Silei, I’m not joking with you.” Ye Leng’an’s eyes gleamed with a cold light. “I’m not referring to the safety talisman; I’m talking about the medicine soaked into the talisman. Where did you get it?”
“Lengan, what are you talking about!” Yuan Silei appeared upset at the
misunderstanding. “I can assure you that I didn’t tamper with this talisman. If you don’t believe me, you can have it checked by a doctor. Despite our previous misunderstanding, I never blamed you, nor did I have any intention of harming you. How can you think so poorly of me?”
Ye Lengan remained unfazed, her expression unchanged. “l know a doctor won’t find any issues. Not just a doctor, even the most advanced instruments can’t detect it. Because this medicine doesn’t exist in this world.’
Yuan Silei’s eyes widened, her heart racing. Nevertheless, she forced herself to remain calm. “Leng’an, what are you saying? Why can’t I understand a word you’re saying? What medicine doesn’t exist in this world? This isn’t a TV drama. You’re overthinking it.”
“Yuan Silei, I only said it doesn’t exist in this world, but I didn’t deny the existence of this drug.” Ye Lengan sneered at Yuan Silei. “Moreover, while I don’t know where you got this medicine, it seems the person who gave it to you doesn’t think highly of you!’
Yuan Silei was taken aback, but she dared not show it. “Lengan, this is truly just an ordinary protective talisman. I specifically got it from the Confucius Temple to wish you success in tomorrow’s exam.”
She didn’t understand what Ye Lengan meant, but she had an ominous feeling. The medicine given to her by that person seemed peculiar.
Earlier, she had asked Ye Lengan for help to get her family through a crisis, but Ye Lengan coldly rejected her. She harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Ye Lengan, but she had no other options.
Unexpectedly, a man appeared and gave her a call. Subsequently, she began conversing with a woman on the other end.
She didn’t know who the person was, but she knew they must have some grievances with Ye Lengan. The person was willing to offer her a substantial amount of money, enough to help her family through the crisis. However, there was a condition. She had to assist in placing a particular medicine near Ye Lengan. It wouldn’t take long, just two to three days.
Yet, she hadn’t figured out how to place the medicine on Ye Leng’an. At school, Ye Lengan treated her like a stranger, not even acknowledging her.. How could she put anything on her?
