âWhy are they so early? She hasnât recovered yet,â Monica said.
Maxi said, âEarlier than I expected.â
Monica said, âShucks.â
Shen Qianshu could not help but ask. âWhat are you guys talking about?â
Monica turned around. âDo you see that group of youths?â
âI see them.â
âTheyâre out to kill you.â
Shen Qianshu looked up. The high fever made her eyes blur. Looking at her would make one feel pitiful for her. âDoesnât Black Rose want me alive?â
âIf she wants you to be alive, she also wants you to be able to be alive,â Monica said. âIf you are dead, she wonât even bat an eyelid. Anyway... thereâs still Ye Ling.â
Shen Qianshuâs face changed, and she thought of Ye Ling and Noah.
The two different people.
âDream on!â
Maxi said, âSo, you have to stay alive.â
Monica left very quickly just as she had come. Before she left, she kissed Maxi on the side of her lips. Shen Qianshuâs jaw dropped. She shut her eyes and thought to herself, The high fever is making me wonky. Iâm seeing things.
Everything is an illusion.
âMonica and you... kissed?â
Her desire to gossip overwhelmed her will to stay alive. Even if she had no idea if she would be dead or alive and she knew nothing about her dangerous future, nothing could stop this woman from being a busybody.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYeah.â Maxi was very straightforward. âHavenât you kissed your bestie before?â
âWeâre not so cringy.â
Oh, once.
But... somethingâs odd about it.
âYou guys are... a couple?â
âBingo. Sharp eyes.â
Shen Qianshu said, âDamn, you guys werenât even hiding it anyway! Girl, what about your future husband?â
This liar.
âIâm bisexual. One in each hand,â Maxi said.
Shen Qianshu had to readjust the way she viewed things.
Maxi said, âThere are surveillance cameras upstairs. Maxi and Monica are a pair. How normal it is for us to kiss.â
Shen Qianshu said, âWhy do I feel like... that is really abnormal?â
Maxi said, âWorry about your own illness.â
Shen Qianshu was not worried about her life at all. She felt even better now that she could hear some gossip. âBlack Rose has so many ladies, so do they just fight with one another?â
âDo you think Monica and I are compatible?â
âOf course you are.â Shen Qianshu complimented in a fake manner. âYou are both underage, yet you are so quick on deciding who you love. Who knows, interacting for so long every day might have caused an illusion for both of you.â
âWhy would it matter?â Maxi said. âMiss Shen, you are really brave. You arenât afraid of your own future, and instead, you are worrying about Monicaâs relationship with me?â
âMy future is not up to me. Anyway, Black Rose has already got it all planned out for me. I just have to follow it, and Iâll be fine. What is there to worry about? I might as well find some fun.â
âMakes sense,â Maxi said. âSo, Monica and I become your fun. Miss Shen, your thinking is rather dangerous.â
Black Rose went downstairs and towards Shen Qianshuâs room.
Maxi turned around to mix the medicine, and she took out the thermometer under Shen Qianshuâs underarm. She looked at the thermometer and said calmly, â38 degrees. You are still having a high fever. I suggest that you get an injection. The medicine doesnât seem to be taking any effect on you.â
Just then, Black Rose entered and heard the conversation.
âUnwilling to take an injection?â
âIâm afraid you would poison me,â Shen Qianshu said. âAfter all, itâs not like you have never done similar things to me before. You are very experienced with it, so I have to be careful.â
âMiss Shen, you donât have to be so careful. You are on my island. I decide your life and death, and there is no need for me to resort to such unnecessary circumstances. Poisoning you would not do me any good at all.â
