Chapter 1697: Reaping the Bitter Fruits of One's Own Deeds

Jiang Wenxing saw Bai Suya's actions and understood it was exactly as she had guessed: she had definitely added something to that water jug. "Bai Suya, what's wrong? Afraid to drink?"

She picked up the cup of water and looked at it. "Let me guess what's in this water. Is it your saliva, or dirt from the corner?"

Bai Suya immediately panicked. "Jiang Wenxing, don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Wenxing's expression instantly darkened. "You used my water. I asked you to return a full jug. Is that wrong?"

Bai Suya's voice even trembled. "No, no, I was wrong, so I went and fetched water for you."

Jiang Wenxing held the cup to her lips. "Exactly. Since you apologized, I must also show that I forgive you. So, to express that I have forgiven you, I poured you a cup of water as a gesture of reconciliation. Is there a problem?"

Bai Suya was almost on the verge of tears. "Jiang Wenxing, I'm really not thirsty. Can I just drink this water tomorrow morning?"

Jiang Wenxing shook her head. "I don't like dragging things out; I prefer to finish today's business today. I really don't understand. I gave you a way out, so why are you hesitating?"

Bai Suya gritted her teeth, preparing to take the cup and drink, but her expression was as solemn as if she were going to her death.

But remembering the seniors' idle chatter she had overheard while fetching water, she truly couldn't do it. "Jiang Wenxing, just let me go. I'm really not thirsty at all."

Jiang Wenxing smiled instead. "Since you won't drink, I'll have to resort to extreme measures. In a moment, I'll go out and call someone to take this water for testing. If anything is found inside, you'll be kicked out in disgrace right after reporting for duty, and that would be..."

She didn't finish her sentence. Bai Suya took the cup, pinched her nose, and gulped down the entire cup of water, then said with a crying voice, "Is this okay now? Can you finally let me go?"

After speaking, she rushed out of the dormitory and ran toward the water room. Before even reaching the basin, she vomited, and the vomiting grew more and more violent, frightening Hao Jingchun and Qi Xiaoyu, who had followed her, greatly.

The two hurried forward. "Suya, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Suya couldn't even bother to answer them, vomiting uncontrollably the whole time.

During a pause, she turned to the two and said weakly, "I'm fine. The reason I didn't want to drink that water is due to my physical condition; I can't drink such large gulps, otherwise it would be like this now. You've made me worry."

As she finished speaking, tears welled in her eyes. "There are some things I'm not good at saying in front of everyone, but Jiang Wenxing wouldn't let it go and kept forcing me to drink that water. To avoid affecting everyone further, I had no choice but to gulp it down."

Originally, they both thought Jiang Wenxing was being unreasonable and holding a grudge, but seeing Bai Suya's reaction, they felt she might be guilty.

Now, hearing her explanation, they felt a bit confused. Could such a disease or constitution really exist?

Seeing they didn't fully believe her, Bai Suya added fuel to the fire. "Every time this happens, my body becomes weak for a while, and I lose my appetite for a period. I don't know how long it will take to recover this time."

If Liu Chuxue were here, she would definitely applaud her. She really knows how to act, focusing on the idea that whether you believe her or not doesn't matter; as long as she believes it, that's enough.

Little did they know, as soon as she left, Jiang Wenxing picked up the thermos and threw it out.

A student passing by saw this scene and assumed the inner liner inside had shattered, which was why it was thrown out, thinking it would be good to pick up the shell and find a liner to match later.

But upon picking it up, she discovered the glass liner inside was actually intact. She was so happy she almost jumped, thinking she had hit a stroke of great luck today.

Then she heard someone ahead speak coldly. "That thermos was contaminated by dirty things and can no longer be used."

Before she could react, Jiang Wenxing walked back, snatched the thermos from the person's hand, and smashed it down with force. The inner liner inside shattered immediately, and only then was she satisfied.

She patted the student who stood there stunned. "If it could still be used, I wouldn't have thrown it."

After speaking, ignoring what the person thought, she went straight upstairs.
