Chapter 193 - 193 Sacrifice

193 Sacrifice

The drug caused drowsiness, so did the antidote. Qiao Yue slept until noon the next day.

When she woke up, she realized that she wasn’t at home. The last thing she remembered was lying in Qiao Jing’s arms.

She got up and checked her clothes. She was still wearing yesterday’s clothes and because of the sweat, they were stuck to her body. She was sticky and dirty.

Qiao Jing probably hadn’t touched her.

Qiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that her secret might have come out yesterday, but it was still hidden.

She found a pair of sweatpants and a white shirt in the closet.

In the closet were mostly Qiao Jing’s clothes.

Qiao Jing was taller than her, but she could hold up his clothes, barely.

Qiao Yue showered quickly, changed into fresh clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Qiao Jing didn’t go to work. Instead, he sat at the dining table and worked on his laptop.

Qiao Jing glanced at Qiao Yue. She was wearing his white shirt and pants, which looked really loose on her.

She had deliberately rolled up her trousers, revealing her delicate ankles, which were as white and slender as lotus roots.

The image of their kiss from yesterday appeared in Qiao Jing’s mind. He turned his head away and said, “Lunch is ready. If we eat now, you can still make it to your afternoon classes.”

“I’m sorry, second brother. I’ve caused you trouble.” Qiao Yue said with a smile.

She quietly looked Qiao Jing up and down, trying to see if he had done anything out of line yesterday.

Qiao Jing’s expression was his usual. She couldn’t see anything different.

“It was an emergency yesterday. I had no choice but to ask second brother for help.”

“Yes,” Qiao Jing nodded and closed his laptop.

On the dining table were plain porridge with simple side dishes.

That kind of medicine did some harm to the body, so Qiao Jing had specially asked someone to make something light and bring it to his private residence.

Qiao Yue picked up the bowl and took a sip. The vegetable porridge was sweet and delicious. It should be the cooking of the servants at home.

“Thank you, second brother, for specially getting the Auntie at home to cook me this meal.”

Qiao Yue laughed boisterously.

Qiao Jing looked at her carefree attitude and suddenly had a different idea.

If he told her that he knew that she was a girl, would their relationship change? However, as soon as this thought emerged, Qiao Jing suppressed it.

“Be more careful in school and don’t flirt around. Our family has never liked people who are too flirtatious.”

“People said that I flirt, but I…”

“I know,” Qiao Jing nodded. “But you still have to be more careful. I don’t want to have to come and deal with such things again.”

Qiao Yue stuck out her tongue. She didn’t know how she could be so charming even when she was disguised as a boy.

“Did second brother investigate the source of the medicine?”

Qiao Jing nodded. “I did but we haven’t found anything yet.”

Qiao Yue was a little suspicious. Bo Ning had mentioned yesterday that she bought it from an ecommerce website. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find out who the merchant was.

After the two finished eating, Qiao Yue went to school. She had an elective music class in the afternoon. Although it was not very important, it was still very important to Qiao Yue. After all, there was an exam for it.

Although she had played “Flight of the Bumblebee” from memory last time, her rhythm was one big mess. She was afraid that she would be disadvantaged by this during the exam.

Today’s teacher was still Jin Lu.

When Qiao Yue arrived, there were still ten minutes or more before class started. When everyone saw her walk in, they looked at her strangely.

Qiao Yue patted Xu Hao’s shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face today?”

Xu Hao replied softly, “Don’t you know? Bo Ning apologized to you, saying that she shouldn’t have drugged you. You’re quite lucky with women, boy, to have a girl drug you.”

Qiao Yue felt that this incident was too peculiar. How could she make a public apology for such a thing?

“Check out the online forum. Bo Ning has personally written you an apology letter.”

Qiao Yue took Xu Hao’s phone and read the apology letter.

This Bo Ning really wasn’t very bright. Her apology letter revealed her not-so-high IQ.
