Chapter 12: Poisoning
On Sunday night, I was working part-time at a bar when I encountered a very scary incident.
There aren't many people in the bar today, but this kind of small bar is usually a little more crowded, and the students either go home on weekends or go to other large entertainment venues. Luo Yunxian didn't come either, so he didn't have any little brother to watch the scene, just a small collar who was stationed here.
At this moment, I was chatting with Xiao Ling a few tables away, when the door suddenly opened, and a very beautiful girl entered. The pretty girl was the talk of the town everywhere she went, and as soon as she walked through the door, she caught the eyes of five or six people in the bar, including me. He has chestnut-colored shoulder-length hair, and wears a yellow striped coat with a shoulderless and cropped navel, which looks like a belly pocket. The lower half of the body is purple skinny cropped pants and white sneakers.
She sat down at the bar and asked me for a glass of Hennessy, and I looked at her as I poured her wine, with a goose egg face, delicate facial features, fair skin, and definitely a beauty without powder.
With just a sip, she put her glass aside and played with her phone. During this time, I met a lot of customers and learned some tips for watching people. Judging by the way she looks, she shouldn't be very satisfied with the taste of this cup of Hennessy, and probably won't drink it again.
I wanted to talk to her, but I'm not a good talker.
At this time, Xiao Ling came over, sat next to her, and asked, "Beauty, I haven't seen you, it's not from our school, right?" "I guess it's a bit boring to be assigned here today, or maybe this girl is too beautiful, Xiao Ling can't help but relieve his loneliness, he would never dare to do this kind of thing to disturb customers.
The girl glanced at him and smiled contemptuously, "Just like you, you are not as good-looking as the little brother of the bartender, and you are too embarrassed to come to talk?" β
Xiao Ling suddenly became energetic, "Yo, what's wrong with being handsome, I'm much more interesting than him, you say yes, brother?" β
I had no choice but to smile bitterly and respond to him, "Yes, yes, our little brother is funny and humorous, girl, if you want to be idle, it is better to let him accompany you for two drinks." β
The girl looked Xiao Ling up and down for a moment, then pushed her cup in front of him, "Drink this cup, and I'll talk to you like a man." β
"A small glass of whiskey is nothing." Xiao Ling didn't say a word, picked up the cup and drank it all, and after drinking, he still couldn't get enough of it and said, "It's so fragrant!" β
The girl suddenly showed a sly smile, "Is it fragrant?" β
The collar nodded.
Subsequently, the incident abruptly changed. I saw that Xiao Ling's expression was weird, and he stretched out his hand to cover his neck, as if something was stuck in his throat. Then his eyes began to blur, and he finally fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The girl shook her head, sighed, put down a hundred-dollar bill, and walked out.
I was immediately scared stupid, and I called an ambulance directly no matter what the situation was, and a few customers who were familiar with Xiaoling had already rushed to the scene to rescue. Then I remembered the weird smile that the girl showed just now, and I thought that this person must not be simple! I hurried out the door.
The girl was walking fast, and just around the corner, I immediately rushed over and grabbed her hand, and asked her, "Is it your ghost?" β
She looked at me with an "innocent" face, blinked her smart eyes and said, "What are you talking about?" β
"I said, did you poison that glass of wine?"
"Hahaha......" she suddenly laughed and trembled, "You've read too many novels, and haven't I been under your nose all the time, have you seen me put something in my wine glass?" β
This was what surprised me the most, she took a sip and put it on the side, and I haven't touched it since. But who else but her?
"Although, I don't know how you did it, but my intuition tells me that it's you who did it, Xiaoling is my boss's little brother, you'd better go back to the bar with me now, and wait for Sister Yunxian to come over and explain things clearly."
"I said handsome guy, you shouldn't have said that on purpose, did you have any intentions for me? And ......" as he spoke, he raised the wrist that I was grabbing, "Have you scratched enough, you are so the thin skin and tender flesh of others, I am in pain." β
"Uh... Excuse me. I let go of her hand for a moment, leaving five clear fingerprints. How tender should her skin be to be so tender that she can grab it for a while?
Just when I was surprised, she suddenly put her arms around my neck, and then her lips were touched, it was not a simple dry kiss, and my brain crashed instantly...... After a few moments, the temperature on her lips slowly faded, and her face appeared in my field of vision, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
I licked my lips, "...... you" was about to speak, when I suddenly felt a tightness in my throat, and then my vision began to blur......
β¦β¦
When I woke up again, it was in a single room in the hospital, and Kirika was looking at me with a frown.
"It happened...... What's up? I asked.
"You're poisoned, do you remember who poisoned you?"
I recalled, "A girl, kiss me and I'll faint." β
"Kiss you? Where's the kiss? β
"Uh...... Lip. β
Wuxiang's brows furrowed even tighter, her expression seemed to be resentful, and finally she sighed, took out her mobile phone and sent a message.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Hikoichi who entered.
"The surveillance in the bar can't capture the girl's face, but it's ...... based on her size," Hiko said as he took out his phone and flipped out a photo and put it in front of me, "Is that the girl?" β
Although the girl in the photo has different hair colors and hairstyles, I carefully distinguished that the facial features are the same person, "That's right, it's her." β
Hikoichi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay...... it's okay" Kirika is no longer as nervous as she was just now. Hikoi continued, "The girls of the Tang Sect are still quite measured in their work, and they won't give you any poison, in other words, you're basically fine." β
"Then why do you look relieved?" I asked, suspiciously.
Wu Xiang said, "The more high-level the daughter of the eldest lady, the more she is not afraid of the sky, and she often carries the poison and death poison with her when she goes out to protect herself, in case you meet someone from the 'Twelve Families', you will have no power to return to the sky at this time!" Don't look at beautiful girls in the future, the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are, and you won't have any means of self-protection. β
"Oh......" thought I wasn't trying to provoke her.
Suddenly! I seem to have thought of something, the people of the Twelve? Self-protection with drugs?
I suddenly raised my head and asked Wu Xiang, "Then did you also carry those things with you?" β
Wuxiang was stunned, as if she had reacted to something all of a sudden.
Before Kirika could speak, Hikichi answered for her, "Yes, not only girls, but even men like me who have no skills and can't protect themselves will bring it." Each family's poison is prepared by itself, and even if there is an antidote, only the people of their own family know about it. For example, I usually have two kinds of poison on my body, one is an antidote, and the other is a non-antidote. β
I finally got it! Pointing at Wuxiang, he said, "You really did it on purpose that night, otherwise I would have died by now!" Then I thought deeper, "Besides, I didn't do anything to you that night, I was just a 'vegetarian cannon'!" β
Wu Xiang's face suddenly became very ugly, "This is ...... Shall we talk about that later? β
I shook my head, "I always thought that you really liked me when you were good to me, even if I was disgusted with Wan Jinrong's methods, but I didn't hate you yourself." It turns out that all this was premeditated by you, I really don't understand, why I, an ordinary civilian college student, need you to target it with great fanfare, and I don't hesitate to sell my innocence. I'm also very naΓ―ve when I think about it.,Where is there a girl who likes each other because she sleeps together because she is drunk! β
"Don't do that...... I really had to think of this solution. β
"So, to say that being the person who loves me the most in the world is also lying to me, right? Just to marry me? Okay, I'm not guilty of the past, as long as you tell me, what do you want from me? β
Kirika shook her head, her eyes filled with tears, "I can't say it now...... But I do like you. β
"Would you like me if it weren't for the reason you wouldn't tell me? Will you be so nice to me? β
Wuxiang opened her mouth, lowered her head and was silent for a long time, "Is love really that important?" β
I looked at her coldly, "We are not all the way based on your words alone, you go, I don't want to see you again." No matter what your family or Wanjia does to me, I, Chen Mo, will die, die outside, and I will not marry you if I jump from here! β
"Hehe......" Wuxiang raised her head, tears running across her face, as if dripping on my heart and not being wiped away. Are you going to give your life to love? You remember what Bai Xin did to you. I've checked this woman's surgery records and opening records, and your story is very interesting. β
My face turned green in an instant, "Can you be more vicious?" β
"I've had enough...... During this time, I held you as a treasure in my hands, afraid that you would melt, and tried everything to please you. Wu Xiang shuddered her lips, as if a word that was holding in her heart was bursting, "Chen Mo, you are a coward, you evade responsibility under the guise of love, you will always hide alone in your own spiritual world!" And then look at your sister, your mother lives like this forever! β
The bitterness that had been pent up in her heart for many days finally found an outlet, and at this time, our values collided violently.
"Are we having a good time? Although my world is small, it has its interesting places, and I am not at all unfamiliar with your drunken gold fans! β
I don't know if Kirika's expression was sad or angry, or both, but I just knew that the bond between me that was already weak was crumbling......
