this was the first time chi jiao had heard quan ye’s words. she looked at quan ye suspiciously and instantly understood what quan ye meant.
chi jiao blinked at him and said with a smile, ” “alright. xu ye, you’ve been studying so hard these days, you should take a break. let’s go out for a day, and i’ll help you with your revision when we come back at night. we should strike a balance between work and rest, and maybe we’ll do better in the exam tomorrow.”
bai wanxi was also happy. she quickly pretended to be like xu ye, clenched her fists, and said happily, ” “okay, let’s go after eating!”
lu xian, who was sitting at the dining table, quietly listened to the conversation between the three of them. she didn’t say a word, as if she didn’t care.
chi jiao and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief and immediately left after dinner.
after getting into quan ye’s car, bai wanxi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders and she was completely relaxed. ” “i’m really nervous that it’s me! i’ve always been worried that aunty would find out something! however, it seems like i’m overthinking it. since auntie didn’t say anything, she probably doesn’t suspect us anymore.”
quan yuan, who was sitting between chi jiao and bai wanxi, shook her head in disagreement after hearing this. ” “i don’t think so. my mother had clearly realized something and was already suspicious. logically speaking, she should have continued to be suspicious unless there was really some substantial evidence that could deny her suspicion. only then would she possibly give up. however, this is clearly not the case now. there must be some other reason that caused her to temporarily not pursue it. ”
bai wanxi’s heart was in her throat when she heard this. she became nervous again.”so, i was exposed?”
” now is not the time to think about such a small thing. the most important thing is that we have to find a way to wake xu ye up. ” chi jiao raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows worriedly. ” xu ye has been sleeping more often recently. i’m worried that it’ll be harmful to his body if this continues. we have to find a way to wake him up. ”
“what do you want to do?” quan ye asked.
chi jiao shook her phone and showed the two of them the wechat message pei yao had sent her: “sister yaoyao told me this morning that she caught tong yan. he has already interrogated tong yan, and found some of qiao liuli’s perfume on his body.”
“what’s the use of qiao liuli’s perfume? i’ve smelled the perfume she made, but it’s been a long time since she could return her body to xu ye.” bai wanxi frowned as she spoke.
the last time bai wanxi was taken away by she qi, she smelled a lot of incense made by qiao liuli. after that, xu ye’s physical condition deteriorated day by day. not only would bai wanxi take over the control of his body for a long time, but the chances of him waking up were also much lower. every time he woke up, he could not hold on for long.
this also caused bai wanxi’s heart to tremble every time she thought of qiao liuli’s perfume. she always felt that it was not a good thing.
chi jiao smiled and comforted bai wanxi, ” “sister wanxi, no matter if it’s spices or medicine, they’re actually similar in nature. qiao liuli’s spice can keep you awake, so on the other hand, i might be able to draw inferences and research her spice, and concoct a new one to keep xu ye awake.”
chi jiao’s words made bai wanxi’s eyes light up. ” “can i really?”
