Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing Yuan Sileis words, Ye Lengan couldnt help but be stunned for a moment. She then frowned, asking, Who told you that I was going to take the college entrance examination?

Although her intention to take the college entrance exam was not a secret, not many people in school were aware of it. Even her cla.s.smates were unaware that she was set to take the exam the next day. However, Yuan Silei seemed to know.

Furthermore, she harbored suspicions about Yuan Sileis purpose for visiting today. Even if Yuan Silei knew about her exam, it seemed unlikely that she came merely to offer well-wishes.

Yuan Sileis face betrayed a hint of awkwardness, but she quickly masked it with a smile and continued, Hehe, I happened to overhear some teachers from Cla.s.s F discussing it. Ive been wanting to wish you good luck, but I never found the chance. Tomorrow is your college entrance exam, Lengan, and I believe youll perform exceptionally well.

Ye Lengan leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, looking at Yuan Silei with a probing gaze. Yuan Silei, theres no need to act here. Although I dont know your exact purpose for coming, I dont believe a single word you just said.

Yuan Sileis face showed a touch of sadness after Ye Lengans response.

Lengan, how can you say that? Even though you refused to help me last time, I didnt blame you. In my heart, were still good friends.

Ye Lengan coldly chuckled. Such words, would you believe them if spoken to others? Yuan Silei, why put on a show here? Just state your purpose and save everyones time.

Confronted with Ye Lengans unyielding att.i.tude, Yuan Silei found herself at a loss for words.

If theres nothing else, please leave! Ye Lengan was direct. After all, as you know, I have the college entrance exam tomorrow, and 1 need to rest early tonight.

Yuan Silei, feeling a sense of urgency, hastily pulled out a safety talisman from her bag and handed it to Ye Lengan. Lengan, I know you have misunderstandings about me. However, I still consider you my best friend. I cant offer much help for your exam tomorrow, but I got this talisman from the Confucius Temple. Its a small gesture and my best wishes. I hope you accept it.

Ye Lengan narrowed her eyes, a dark glint appearing. She silently observed the so-called safety talisman but made no move to take it.

Undeterred, Yuan Silei persisted in extending the item. However, with Ye Lengan refusing to accept it, the situation became increasingly awkward. Yuan Silei, nonetheless, stood her ground.

The two remained in a standoff, and the atmosphere in the living room grew tense.

After a prolonged silence, Yuan Silei spoke again. Lengan, I know youve misunderstood me due to Ye Xiyuans incident. However, I came here this time solely to give you this talisman. I have no ulterior motives. If youre worried that I tampered with it, youre welcome to inspect it.

Her sincere demeanor lent an air of righteousness to the situation.

Despite Yuan Silei!s explanation, Ye Lengans expression remained unrelenting. She looked up at Yuan Silei and asked coldly, Where did you get this?

This question almost made Yuan Sileis expression change dramatically.

However, she quickly composed herself and said with a smile, Lengan, didnt

I say it earlier? I specifically went to the Confucius Temple to obtain this.

Yuan Silei, Im not joking with you. Ye Lengans eyes gleamed with a cold light. Im not referring to the safety talisman; Im talking about the medicine soaked into the talisman. Where did you get it?

Lengan, what are you talking about! Yuan Silei appeared upset at the

misunderstanding. I can a.s.sure you that I didnt tamper with this talisman. If you dont believe me, you can have it checked by a doctor. Despite our previous misunderstanding, I never blamed you, nor did I have any intention of harming you. How can you think so poorly of me?

Ye Lengan remained unfazed, her expression unchanged. l know a doctor wont find any issues. Not just a doctor, even the most advanced instruments cant detect it. Because this medicine doesnt exist in this world.

Yuan Sileis eyes widened, her heart racing. Nevertheless, she forced herself to remain calm. Lengan, what are you saying? Why cant I understand a word youre saying? What medicine doesnt exist in this world? This isnt a TV drama. Youre overthinking it.

Yuan Silei, I only said it doesnt exist in this world, but I didnt deny the existence of this drug. Ye Lengan sneered at Yuan Silei. Moreover, while I dont know where you got this medicine, it seems the person who gave it to you doesnt think highly of you!

Yuan Silei was taken aback, but she dared not show it. Lengan, this is truly just an ordinary protective talisman. I specifically got it from the Confucius Temple to wish you success in tomorrows exam.

She didnt understand what Ye Lengan meant, but she had an ominous feeling. The medicine given to her by that person seemed peculiar.

Earlier, she had asked Ye Lengan for help to get her family through a crisis, but Ye Lengan coldly rejected her. She harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Ye Lengan, but she had no other options.

Unexpectedly, a man appeared and gave her a call. Subsequently, she began conversing with a woman on the other end.

She didnt know who the person was, but she knew they must have some grievances with Ye Lengan. The person was willing to offer her a substantial amount of money, enough to help her family through the crisis. However, there was a condition. She had to a.s.sist in placing a particular medicine near Ye Lengan. It wouldnt take long, just two to three days.

Yet, she hadnt figured out how to place the medicine on Ye Lengan. At school, Ye Lengan treated her like a stranger, not even acknowledging her.. How could she put anything on her?
