Chapter 30

So that’s how it was…

So, it wasn’t a coincidence.

I once thought that the reason I didn’t die from the poisoning was because I was “lucky,” that it was just a coincidence.

But it turns out, it was because of them.

I can almost imagine how they did it.

Before going on stage at the May Day Gala, Deng Xingxing took out the poison she had bought, and I poured it evenly into the four cups.

After that, I went to the lounge to get water for them, and brought it back to hand to them.

Then, because the bottle had a strong medicinal smell, and to avoid any complications, I decided to dispose of it first.

I stuffed a few stones into it and threw it into the artificial lake.

While I was gone, Deng Xingxing, Cheng Youran, and Qin Xue sat facing each other, exchanged glances, and then started to laugh.

“Ji Xia is still so young. She really is such a silly child.”

“Her parents, though not in good health, love her very much. She doesn’t need to die with us.”

“That’s right, there’s no need. She’s different from us, after all.”

So, the three of them unanimously decided to pick up my cup and each poured out a little.

They kept pouring until two-thirds or more of the water was gone, then filled it up with clean water.

What I drank was that cup of poison, infinitely diluted.

They didn’t want me to die.

My three senior sisters, even though they themselves were already in hell,

still wanted to leave me a sliver of light.

They wanted me to live.
