Wang Lan hopped and shouted, her hair already somewhat messy from her exaggerated movements. Coupled with her flailing arms and cries, she looked like a madwoman. "How is it, have you found it?"
Li Qi, beside her, was repeatedly bumped by Wang Lan's dramatic actions. One bump landed on her nose, turning it red. "No, did it fall on the ground?"
Wang Lan didn't care, focused on finding it, as if not finding it meant it wasn't dropped but hidden in some unknown corner of her own body. "Idiot, don't you slack off. If you can't see it, can't you look properly?"
Hearing this, Li Qi's expression instantly soured.
Yes, how could she not know? Wang Lan had always treated her as a subordinate, an idiot, always trying to belittle her. She claimed to be friends, best friends, but now her true colors were showing.
She always picked the best food and the most fun things first, but the payment was always hers.
Wang Lan also realized she had spoken out of turn. She bounced around, pleading, "Qi Qi, please, help me look quickly, I'm so scared."
Li Qi suppressed her anger and began to search Wang Lan.
But she couldn't help but think, if there really were a spider, it would be great if it bit her.
Bai Xi watched the farcical scene unfold and found it uninteresting. She said faintly, "Perhaps I was mistaken."
When Wang Lan heard this, she was already beside herself. Her hair was a mess from her search, and her expensive long dress was wrinkled from her own doing. Yet Bai Xi now said so lightly, "Perhaps she was mistaken?"
This damned woman!
She charged forward. "You, how could you do this? Tell me honestly, did you deliberately set me up?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Why would I set you up?"
Wang Lan blurted out, "Because we..."
Want to harm you!
The words caught in her throat, and she suddenly swallowed them back.
Yes, she couldn't say it.
But regardless of whether the woman in front of her was intentional or not, she would pay the price for everything she had done later!
Thinking of this, Wang Lan, with a face that was almost purple from suppressed emotion, grinned lecherously, "Yes, you're right. We didn't have any conflict before, why would you set me up? I must have been mistaken."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow faintly and said nothing.
Wang Lan exhaled forcefully, casually tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and put on as gentle a smile as possible. "It's all fine now, let's continue to celebrate with drinks!"
After speaking, she looked at Li Qi beside her.
Li Qi understood. Although she was a bit unhappy about Wang Lan's earlier words, she continued to play along, "Yes, yes, yes, let's drink."
Saying this, she picked up the drink she had placed on the table, opened the cap, and raised it towards Bai Xi and Wang Lan.
Seeing this, Wang Lan also picked up her drink. "Classmate Bai, let's drink."
After speaking, she opened the cap and took a large gulp.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and said faintly, "Okay."
Then, she opened the cap and took a sip.
Wang Lan and Li Qi exchanged glances, a triumphant expression in their eyes. "Classmate Bai, how are you feeling now?"
Bai Xi said faintly, "The taste is average. If I absolutely had to eat something to supplement collagen, I'd much rather have braised pig trotters."
Feng Yi's braised pig trotters tasted very good, not greasy, with a rich soy flavor. Every bite was collagen. Better than this high-tech new product, artificially synthesized with pigments, flavorings, and various additives, which tasted better?
Hearing this, Wang Lan's eyes were filled with disdain. Anyway, Bai Xi had already drunk the medicine given by Sun Mei and would soon lose consciousness and become a puppet. She just needed to get Bai Xi out with Li Qi and hand her over to Sun Mei.
So, there was no need to pretend anymore. "Country bumpkins are just country bumpkins, with no taste. Who eats pig trotters, such disgusting things? You know, I don't even eat pork anymore, only the finest beef! If someone made me eat such inferior stuff, I'd probably need to go to the hospital for a stomach pump to recover."
Bai Xi already knew that Wang Lan would drop the pretense after seeing her drink the beverage, so she wasn't surprised. She didn't want to bother with her, but when she trampled on food and used food to trample on others, it was too disgusting.
With so many people around, she really couldn't eat too much!
Bai Xi said faintly, "Your lip color matches your dress quite well."
As the saying goes... red with green, looks ugly.
It suited her perfectly.
Wang Lan was stunned. She hadn't expected Bai Xi, upon hearing her taunts, not to get angry but to "praise" her? Was she too stupid to understand her meaning? Or was she "praising" her to try and appease her?
However, she was very happy to be complimented, especially since this lipstick was a new purchase from yesterday. "Naturally, this is the latest color, versatile and makes the skin look fairer."
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the self-important person in front of her, saying faintly, "The lipstick on your lips is also made from insects. Since you hate insects so much and find them disgusting, would you like me to cut off your lips?"
As she spoke, she directly pulled out a dagger.
The cold dagger, gleaming with cold light, made Wang Lan, who had wanted to step forward to argue with Bai Xi, retreat several steps in shock. "You, you, you, what are you doing?"
Bai Xi moved her hand slightly, and the dagger, like a nimble little bird, danced up and down in her palm, seeming to enjoy itself. "I don't want to do anything. I just hope that your heavily made-up lips can be a little cleaner, otherwise... I really can't guarantee that I won't act."
Seeing this, Wang Lan couldn't help but swallow. She didn't dare to utter a single word of protest, as if just one word would cost her mouth.
Bai Xi glanced faintly at the two of them. "Do you have anything else? If not, I'll go take a bath and go to sleep."
After speaking, she was about to leave.
Wang Lan immediately said, "Wait!"
Although the living room of the Black Gold Academy dormitory was shared, each student had their own room and needed to swipe their student card to enter. If Bai Xi returned to her room and closed the door, they wouldn't be able to get in. How could they send her to Sun Mei then?
And what about this dress? Wouldn't they have to return it to her? She was unwilling to do that.
Bai Xi said faintly, "What, is there something else?"
Wang Lan was very awkward, regretting having dropped the pretense so early. "You just arrived at Black Gold Academy today. Would you like Li Qi and me to take you out for a stroll and see Black Gold Academy?"
What was going on? Didn't Sun Mei say that the effect would come quickly? Why was Bai Xi showing no reaction? Where had something gone wrong?
She was so anxious that she was... sweating!
Wait, why was she sweating so much? She rarely sweated!
