Chapter 181: I Understand Your Intentions Better Than Anyone!_1
Ye Xingguang rolled her eyes, “If you hadn’t been hit by the love potion, would you allow me to post selfies? Right now, it’s a rush, but once the side effects wear off, you grab my wrist and furiously demand I delete the photos. Who can I turn to then?”
She hadn’t forgotten the last time at the swimming pool when she was appreciating his body and secretly took some photos of him. He humiliated her in front of Xia Yanyan. She would not fall for the same trick twice.
Ye Junqings’s eyebrows furrowed regretfully. He regretted using the excuse of the love potion to get close to her. Reining his feelings, he said, “I tricked you. The truth is, the only side effect is a burning sensation all over my body. I had to take thirty showers last night before it subsided.”
“What?” Ye Xingguang was stunned.
Exhausted, Ye Junqing slumped onto the sofa, glancing at the medicine bag for his IV drip. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come down with a fever. Go on, post it.”
Ye Xingguang stood still, stunned.
“Did you not understand what I said?” Ye Junqing’s voice was harsh.
Ye Xingguang blinked her eyes, “Are you pretending you didn’t take the love potion just to get me to post on Weibo? I think the potion might have seeped into your marrow.”
Ye Junqing grinded his teeth, “Come see for yourself if the IV is for fever relief.”
Half-believing, half-doubting, Ye Xingguang went over to examine the bag, looking at the name of the drug then checked its purpose on her phone.
Online it said, L-Aminopyrine, a type of anti-inflammatory drug, similar to Amoxicillin. Mainly used for intravenous therapy, it could treat symptoms like fever and pain, and could be used for a cold or flu.
So, his burning body was due to a fever, not the side effects?
So, she was tricked into sending him flirty messages every hour today?
Ye Xingguang glared at him fiercely, “Why did you lie to me?”
With a look of amazement, Ye Junqing gazed at her, was she truly this naive? Couldn’t she guess why he lied to her?
“You’re too much. You enjoyed fooling me, didn’t you?” Ye Xingguang was indignant.
At her words, Ye Junqing turned the tables, “You dare ask me? You took advantage of my weakened state and drugged me saying it would relieve my bloodthirst. That did work but caused a burning sensation all over. What were you planning? If you wanted to offer yourself as a birthday present, just say it outright!”
The color drained from Ye Xingguang’s face, she hurriedly defended herself, “I didn’t!”
“She denies it. But then why did you gave me the pill? You knew how hard it was for me to turn down your sincere offer but feeling sorry for you, I gave you the chance to express your feelings towards me, tricking me into believing you wanted to be close to me only to call it a jest?”
Why was it that he was obviously the one at fault, yet he ended up having the upper hand?
If the side effect was really… what might he have thought about her from last night until now?
Ye Xingguang coiffed her hair, her cheeks flushed red. Where could she hide her embarrassment?
She stole a quick glance at Ye Junqing who was hooked up to an IV, then diverted her eyes, quickly raised a hand as if to swear, “I swear I honestly forgot about the side effects, especially that one. If I knew, I never would’ve given you the medicine.”
Ye Junqing wore a relaxed expression, unwilling to believe her, “No need to explain, I know exactly what you were thinking! If you like me, just say so!”
