Chapter 155

Who would have thought that Bai Xuechao would then say, “I’m kidding.”

He even shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression, but no matter how you looked at it, he was asking for a beating.

He was just an ordinary fun-loving person.

Mu Xinyue almost couldn’t catch her breath, feeling as if her heart had just ridden a roller coaster. Upon hearing those words, her first feeling was relief that Bai Xuechao wasn’t as intimate with Yuan Lan as he had said, since it was a joke and fake. This was followed by anger at being teased.

She had believed him just now and was thinking that Bai Xuechao was so annoying. Didn’t he know Yuan Lan was busy? And how old was he to still need Yuan Lan to coax him? Was being sick an excuse?

And then he said it was a joke.

“You’re so annoying.” Mu Xinyue, fueled by the annoyance of being teased, spoke her true feelings to Bai Xuechao. She even took the opportunity to glare at him openly.

She was really starting to hate Bai Xuechao more and more.

Now that Mu Xinyue was present, Xiao 6 couldn’t ship them anymore and whispered, “Host, be careful. Don’t provoke Miss Mu, she has a four-kill achievement.”

“I have to provoke her now. Yuan Lan is going to use her to poison me.” After Bai Xuechao finished speaking, he added amidst Xiao 6’s surprised gasp, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her get a fifth kill.”

While talking to Xiao 6, Bai Xuechao was looking directly at Mu Xinyue.

Being told he was annoying by Mu Xinyue, he just smiled slightly, showing no apology or flattery, nor any mockery or provocation. It seemed to be just a smile.

“Alright, let me be the one to speak.” Yuan Lan said, perhaps feeling that Bai Xuechao wasn’t sitting steadily after retracting his legs. He lifted his own leg a little, causing Bai Xuechao to lean back and get closer to him, his back almost touching his chest. His tone seemed to be complaining, but he was actually showing off, “Actually, it’s Little Xuechao who can’t leave me, he has to follow me wherever I go. I think he’s so cute like this, so I held him and brought him to the piano room to listen to me play.”

Mu Xinyue saw Yuan Lan’s hands wrapped around Bai Xuechao’s waist, and the way he spoke with such enjoyment, she felt like the sky was falling.

She was completely stunned.

Bai Xuechao: “…”

Yuan Lan was really something. This was really trying to get him killed.

No need to guess, he was definitely on Mu Xinyue’s poison list now.

Even though not a single word Yuan Lan said was a lie, by omitting details and saying it in a different way, it became very ambiguous. He had to be called a master of setting the rhythm.

Yuan Lan’s “can’t leave me,” “so cute,” and “held him” were completely challenging Mu Xinyue’s patience. And he was currently sitting on Yuan Lan’s lap, his waist still encircled, which was no different from being held. Yuan Lan had even deliberately moved his leg just now to attract Mu Xinyue’s attention, creating the illusion for her that he was the one clinging to Yuan Lan and insisting on being held by him. This had completely crossed the line of joking between male friends, right?

Mu Xinyue was probably cursing him in her heart.

Bai Xuechao’s guess was correct. Mu Xinyue was indeed cursing him in her heart as a green tea gay (100 words of complaints omitted).

Unfortunately, Bai Xuechao didn’t have mind-reading abilities, and although Xiao 6 was a system, it couldn’t hear other people’s thoughts. The man and the system could only wait for the manga update to see.

Just as Mu Xinyue was trying to control her expression and not show a ferocious one, and was angrily cursing Bai Xuechao in her heart, Yuan Lan suddenly revealed an extremely brilliant smile.

“I’m kidding too!” Yuan Lan’s tone was light and cheerful, his handsome features carrying a brilliant smile, revealing some white teeth between his parted lips.

Mu Xinyue was stunned again.

She had been played twice by two people in just one minute.

Unlike how she directly told Bai Xuechao “I hate you,” she stood up directly, then raised her fist and hit Yuan Lan on the back, looking as if she wanted to beat him to death.

In fact, this was a sign of a closer relationship, where they could play and fight freely.

Perhaps because there was still a person sitting on him, Yuan Lan couldn’t get up to dodge and could only sit in his original position and let Mu Xinyue hit him, even cooperatively making “ouch ouch” sounds.

“Little Xuechao!” Yuan Lan called out to Bai Xuechao for help, “Are you just going to watch Miss Mu beat me?”

Bai Xuechao was leaning sideways and watching the show. After being cued, he replied nonchalantly, “Or what? Don’t you deserve it?”

“I protest! Why are you only hitting me!” Yuan Lan tilted his head and shouted at Mu Xinyue, seemingly trying to drag Bai Xuechao down with him, “Little Xuechao joked with you too!”

Mu Xinyue paused her actions and looked at Bai Xuechao.

After the two pairs of slightly different colored red eyes met for two seconds, Bai Xuechao said calmly to Yuan Lan, “Are you expecting a doctor to beat a patient? Miss Mu has medical ethics, you know.”

Mu Xinyue was actually coaxed into happiness by the simple two words “medical ethics,” let Bai Xuechao off the hook, and continued to “beat” Yuan Lan.

Yuan Lan twisted his body left and right to dodge, but he didn’t actually dodge many punches. He was probably just playing along to coax Mu Xinyue.

“Wait, let me explain again,” Yuan Lan said.

Mu Xinyue finally stopped, her arms crossed as she stood in front of the piano bench, giving off the feeling that “if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’ll continue to beat you.”

Yuan Lan pulled back Bai Xuechao, who was about to slide off his lap, adjusted his position, and then, while brushing back the hair that had fallen forward due to his previous movements, he said, “Actually, the laboratory is sintering, which takes two hours. It’s too hot.”

Bai Xuechao remembered that when Yuan Lan carried him out the window, the temperature in the laboratory was indeed much higher than outside.

Hearing this, Mu Xinyue glanced at Bai Xuechao, as if asking: what about him?

“Are you asking about Little Xuechao?” Yuan Lan actually lifted the person up by his armpits, like lifting a cat. For a special ability user, an adult’s weight was nothing, not to mention that Bai Xuechao was very light, only 56kg.

Bai Xuechao felt very awkward being held like this. He simply moved his knees and knelt sideways on Yuan Lan’s lap, somewhat speechless, “You can just say it, why are you moving me?”

Yuan Lan said, “Just for a demonstration?”

After speaking, he put Bai Xuechao down again. Bai Xuechao could only speechlessly change from kneeling back to sitting, otherwise he always felt like he was kneeling to Yuan Lan or Mu Xinyue.

Hearing Yuan Lan’s words, even Mu Xinyue couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

“Little Xuechao is sick, I wanted to take him out to relax. Listening to music is also good for relaxing the mood, maybe it can help him get better faster.” Yuan Lan said it so righteously, only Bai Xuechao knew that he had deliberately brought him to the piano room. “How can I let a patient walk by himself? So I carried him here, and then I realized I forgot to give him time to put on his shoes.”

Mu Xinyue took a deep breath and then exhaled, “Yuan Lan, have you never had a fever?”

“Huh?” Even Yuan Lan didn’t expect Mu Xinyue to say this. “Not in my memory.”

Especially after awakening as a special ability user, his body was as strong as an ox, how could he possibly get sick?

Mu Xinyue asked again, “Yu Ruolan has had a fever, right?”

“Mm, but very rarely,” Yuan Lan said.

Mu Xinyue gave up and didn’t plan to ask any further. Even though she hated Bai Xuechao, she still had to say what needed to be said, “Yuan Lan, do you have any common sense? He’s still running a fever and you’re taking him all over the place, and without shoes. This won’t help his fever get better faster, in fact, it’s very likely to make his condition worse because he might catch a cold. Not all illnesses can be cured faster by relaxing!”

Yuan Lan sat there with an obedient expression.

He couldn’t possibly say that he had deliberately brought Bai Xuechao to the piano room, right?

And he had said it with a bit of deliberate intent. It was already problematic to take a sick person running around. If a smart person thought about it carefully, they would realize something was wrong. So Yuan Lan simply used his “inability to properly care for a patient” to divert Mu Xinyue’s attention.

“Sure enough, Mu Xinyue no longer dwelt on how he had brought Bai Xuechao to the piano room.”

She started to scold him for not knowing how to take care of a patient.

After all, she was a medical student, and she was very rigorous and sensitive in this regard. Mu Xinyue grabbed Yuan Lan and criticized him for three minutes.

Bai Xuechao watched Yuan Lan being obediently scolded and felt a little like laughing.

Of course, he knew that there was something fishy about what Yuan Lan had said, and he also knew that Yuan Lan actually knew that a patient with a fever couldn’t catch a cold. Because when he went out today, this damned white and pink combination pajama was specially chosen by Yuan Lan. The reason he was willing to wear it was also because its fabric was thick and he wouldn’t catch a cold.

After listening obediently for more than three minutes, Yuan Lan raised a hand, “Alright, alright, I’ve remembered everything. Miss Mu, don’t be angry.”

“Where am I angry!” Mu Xinyue subconsciously retorted.

After retorting, she came to her senses.

Wait, she wished Bai Xuechao would just die. What was she saying this to Yuan Lan for? If Bai Xuechao died of illness, she would be happy.

Why was she being so nosy!

Thinking of this, Mu Xinyue finally looked directly at Bai Xuechao, who was sitting on Yuan Lan’s lap.

Bai Xuechao was wearing pink and white pajamas today. The fabric was quite thick and looked very warm. The pajama hood had a pair of decorative long ears, like a lop-eared rabbit.

She inexplicably remembered what Yuan Lan had said just now, “I think he’s so cute like this.” Although that sentence was fake, it was true that Bai Xuechao looked cute like this.

Mu Xinyue: “…”

No, she had to quickly look at Yuan Lan a few times to wash her brain.

On the other side, Yuan Lan saw that Mu Xinyue had finally stopped talking about how to take care of a patient. He looked at Bai Xuechao, wondering what he was thinking, and also turned to look at him, “Then Little Xuechao, shall we continue our bet? If you don’t want to, I’ll take you back. I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold.”

He even emphasized the words “catch a cold,” as if he had really taken Mu Xinyue’s words to heart just now.

Bai Xuechao was definitely going to continue the bet.

Otherwise, where would Yuan Lan or Mu Xinyue find such a good opportunity to poison him?

Bai Xuechao believed that if he didn’t go easy, he would be able to discover any other method of poisoning, after all, he was someone who had experienced poisoning and assassination attempts.

“Continue,” Bai Xuechao said proactively. “Let Mu Xinyue be a witness?”

“Huh?” Mu Xinyue had just been staring at Yuan Lan. When her name was suddenly called, she snapped back to reality reflexively. She hadn’t been completely oblivious, “Okay.”

She glanced at Bai Xuechao, who was still sitting on Yuan Lan’s lap, and her gaze moved down to his feet, which were on top of Yuan Lan’s.

He might be an eyesore, but wasn’t he afraid of catching a cold with his feet exposed like that?

Mu Xinyue held it in and held it in, but she still couldn’t help but say, “I’ll go get you a pair of shoes.”

She just didn’t want Bai Xuechao to step on Yuan Lan’s feet!
