Chapter 33: Drugging

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At 7 pm, I waited for Miss Xia in a private room on the second floor of a Chinese restaurant in the city.

The moment I saw her enter the private room, I was stunned.

Teacher Xia actually changed into a new dress just to come for dinner. It was tight and perfectly accentuated her moving figure!

Seeing that I had been staring at her, Xia Qingrou blushed and said, “Why did you find such a good place? This must cost a lot of money, right?”

I immediately came back to my senses, but I still could not help but say, “Teacher Xia, you’re really beautiful…”

Xia Qingrou giggled and walked to the small square table. “Stop talking nonsense, I’m already old!”

I shook my head firmly. “No! You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen!”

Xia Qingrou looked overjoyed, but she said, “Stop trying to make me happy. Don’t you have very beautiful girls in your class? Like Zheng Yuxun, and your girlfriend, Liang Xue.”

I did not expect her to know that I had a girlfriend.

To be fair, Zheng Yuxun’s beauty was not much inferior to Teacher Xia’s. However, even though Liang Xue was quite attractive, they were not on the same level. At most, she could be considered above average.

Hence, I still shook my head. “That won’t do. They don’t have your temperament. People say that true beauty consists of both inner and outer beauty. You’re the kind of girl who’s as beautiful inside as you are on the outside.”

Xia Qingrou pursed her lips and smiled. “You’re flattering me. I’m really not as good as you think.”

I did not understand what she meant, but I did not want to think about it. I quickly imitated the gentleman on TV and pulled out a chair for her to sit down.

Then, I returned to my seat and allowed her to order food.

A few minutes later, the waiter left with the menu. I could not help but say, “Teacher Xia, you only ordered cheap dishes. How is that enough to eat?”

She only ordered one vegetable dish and one soup. The two added up to less than 30 yuan.

It was not that I was generous, but I was not the one spending money tonight. That was why I had made up my mind early on to make Chen Hanwei pay more.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of this kind of person!

So, when I ordered for myself, I ordered a dozen dishes, including a signature dish. The total was more than 500 yuan!

Xia Qingrou reprimanded me. “I have to criticize you. Why did you order so many dishes? We can’t finish them. It’ll be a waste later.”

I chuckled and did not say anything.

Teacher Xia obviously had more social experience than me. She quickly found a topic to talk about with me.

Ten minutes later, the dishes were served one after another. There were even drinks.

When the waiter finally brought the drinks, Chen Hanwei appeared at the door. He stuck his head out in surprise and said, “Zhang Lu! Why are you eating here… eh? Teacher Xia!”

Xia Qingrou stood up in shock. “Teacher Chen, why are you here too?”

Chen Hanwei walked in with a smile. After the waiter left, he closed the door and said, “I had an appointment with a friend to eat here, but he stood me up. I was just about to go home, but I didn’t expect to bump into you guys.”

Xia Qingrou said in surprise, “So teacher Chen knows Zhang Lu?”

Chen Hanwei walked to my side and patted my shoulder. “You can say that. He helped me with a small favor, and I helped him as well. We can be considered friends, right, Zhang Lu?”

I nodded without any change in expression. “Yes, Teacher Chen has indeed helped me with a big favor.”

This was our agreement to prevent teacher Xia from getting suspicious.

Sure enough, Xia Qingrou revealed a look of realization.

“Oh right, Teacher Chen, why don’t we eat together?” I followed the plan and took the initiative to ask.

“Is… is that okay? Your dinner with Teacher Xia…” Chen Hanwei hesitated.

“It’s fine. Since we’ve already ordered so much, we can have more people here.” Xia Qingrou pursed her lips into a smile.

“Then, I’ll respectfully accept your request! Haha!” Chen Hanwei happily agreed.

Everything went very smoothly.

The three of us happily ate. Chen Hanwei was very talkative and completely dominated the dinner table. From time to time, he would make Teacher Xia chuckle. At the same time, he did not neglect me. He was just like an ordinary and passionate good person.

As I was playing along, I was pondering in my heart. ‘What exactly is he going to do to Teacher Xia?’

He did not tell me this part, he only said that we would know when the time came.

Halfway through eating, Chen Hanwei was still diligently filling our drinks.

When was pouring soy milk for Teacher Xia, he accidentally knocked her chopsticks onto the ground.

“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”Chen Hanwei hurriedly apologized.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Just ask the waiter to get a new pair.” Teacher Xia did not care and bent down to pick it up.

Just as she bent down, Chen Hanwei suddenly took out a white pill from his pocket and placed it into her soy milk cup.

My entire body trembled.

He was trying to drug her!

Chen Hanwei gave me a look, indicating that I should not speak.

I immediately nodded vigorously to show that I understood and said, “I’ll ask the waiter to change the chopsticks.”

I got up and left the private room. I told the waiter outside about this matter.

After the waiter left, I took out my phone and sent out a message that I had already edited.

After I sent it out, I let out a long sigh of relief. I put my phone away and returned to the private room.

Teacher Xia did not notice that someone had drugged her at all. She directly picked up her cup and took a big gulp.

Chen Hanwei sat back down. His eyes lit up.

I pretended that I did not know anything and continued to eat my food.

It was such a good meal. If I did not finish it, it would be a total waste.

“Zhang Lu, you can really eat.” After eating for a while, Teacher Xia suddenly laughed.

I was stunned. I looked up at her and realized that her cheeks were red. She sounded like she was drunk and her voice was much more frivolous than before.

I guessed that the medicine had taken effect.

I had thought that it was some medicine that could make her unconscious. It seemed that the effects of the medicine were different.

“Teacher Xia, Zhang Lu is saving food. It’s a good thing that children from poor families know how to save.” Chen Hanwei smiled as he said this. He reached out and patted the back of Xia Qingrou’s hand gently.

This was a very bold interaction. Before this, the two of them had only talked and never touched each other.

However, Xia Qingrou did not care. Instead, she smiled and drank another mouthful of soy milk. She said, “Teacher Chen, do you know? You’re actually quite handsome. Why don’t you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?”

Chen Hanwei smiled and said, “I have a sweetheart.”

Xia Qingrou said in surprise, “Really? Who is it? Why haven’t I heard of it? She must be beautiful!”

Chen Hanwei picked up his drink, took a sip, and smiled without saying a word.

Xia Qingrou was completely drunk as she said coquettishly, “You’re still keeping me in suspense! Tell me quickly! Is it someone I know? Ah, is it Teacher Xu?”
