Chapter 175 - There Is Nothing Wrong with the Medicine (1/2)
Chapter 175 There Is Nothing Wrong with the Medicine“Sisi, your face…” Fang Yan said in surprise.
Song Sisi realized something was wrong as she saw everyone look at her in a weird way. So she got impatient immediately.
“My face? What’s wrong with my face?”
She rushed to a mirror in the hall hastily and screamed after looking into it.
“Ah——God! My face. Why would it be like this?”
“Sisi, don’t worry… I guess you’ve caught an allergy! That doesn’t matter. You may feel a little itchy, but remember not to scratch,” Fang Xu reminded her.
“Allergy? Impossible. I haven’t had anything today, how could I get an allergy?” Song Sisi was in a fret. Then something came to her, and she glared at Tang Xia suddenly. “Tang Xia, it’s you. It must be you!”
Tang Xia was confused about her sudden accusation. “Are you crazy, Song Sisi? What does your allergy have to do with me?”
“It was you who poured the tea for us when the housekeeper served it. You must have added something in the tea to make me allergic.” Song Sisi assumed that was the case.
Tang Xia rolled her eyes. “Song Sisi, did you catch paranoia? I drank the tea, too, so why am I all right?”
Song Sisi thought for a while upon seeing that Tang Xia had denied this, then said, “But the only thing I’ve had today was the tea. I’ve never been allergic to anything. There must be something wrong with the tea.”
Tang Xia thought it was ridiculous as she listened, believing that Song Sisi had to be mad. “How can you say that you aren’t allergic to anything else if you’ve never had an allergy before?
“You aren’t a doctor, after all. How can you be sure that you are not allergic to something? Song Sisi, could you please not be so ridiculous?”
Song Sisi became even more infuriated when she heard Tang Xia describe her as “ridiculous”, so she shouted loudly, “But Ye Yifan and Fang Xu did not drink the tea either. How can you prove yourself to be right? This is just your excuse.
“On top of that, you and I were at odds last night. You must have been holding a grudge and will take revenge on me this way.”
Song Sisi was more and more confident about her assumption, being sure that it was Tang Xia who had plotted against her.
Having been wronged by her, Tang Xia felt offended. “Song Sisi, could you be a little more rational? You have no proof at all, how can you affirm this?”
Seeing that Tang Xia was still unwilling to admit it, Song Sisi got angrier, but her face and body were too itchy. She started wailing. “No, I don’t have any evidence. So are you satisfied, Tang Xia?”
Tears on her pretty face instantly stirred up Fang Yan’s sympathy.
He stepped forward immediately and stood in front of Song Sisi, shouting at Tang Xia, “Tang Xia, is this all about those trivial matters from yesterday? Do you have to be so petty? You have made Sisi like this. I never thought that you were such a malicious woman.”
Fang Yan condemned Tang Xia on the spot without giving her the chance to explain.
Tang Xia trembled in anger, her face looking worse.
She was about to refute but Ye Yifan started speaking before she could. “Fang Yan, Tang Xia is your girlfriend, anyhow. Is it really proper for you to scold her rashly when you have no evidence at all?”
Fang Yan didn’t expect that Ye Yifan would criticize him. And being unable to refute his words, he became speechless.
Tang Xia was also surprised that the first one to defend her should be Ye Yifan.
It felt like a warm current was floating through her heart, which eased her anger and made her feel much better. She cast her grateful eyes to him immediately.
Ye Yifan also looked at her and then continued, “Now that Sisi said that she has only had tea today, then it must have something to do with the tea. But I would rather believe that there is something wrong with the water.”
“The water?” His analysis aroused everyone’s curiosity.
But Fang Yan sneered disdainfully, “Hmph! How do you know that it has to do with the water? You don’t have any evidence, do you?”
“Sorry. I forgot to tell you that I once majored in medicine.” Ye Yifan removed his doubts directly.
Dabing echoed, “Yes! Ye Yifan used to be the top in his class every year. And I heard that he has published several theses on medicine. His words make sense undoubtedly.”
Fang Yan felt like that he had been slapped by someone on the spot, his face scorching. But he was at a loss for words and could only glare at Ye Yifan with resentful eyes.
But Ye Yifan didn’t even look at him. He continued to give his reasons. “We’re living in such a rural place with a high altitude. I’m afraid the water we drink here is not from the waterworks but is obtained from underground springs!”
Everyone thought that his analysis made sense instantly.
Dabing asked Ye Yifan out of curiosity, “It seems that your words make sense. Is it because the spring water has been polluted by the rain so that Sisi has become allergic to it?”
Ye Yifan shook his head and disapproved of Dabing’s speculation. “No, that’s not it. The spring water in the mountains is usually rich in minerals. I remember that Sisi is from the north! Maybe that’s why she’s allergic to the water!”
“What? Is it because of the minerals in the water? But we have only a few bottles of purified water. Will I die of thirst?” Song Sisi became concerned.
But Ye Yifan had managed to absolve Tang Xia of sin through his analysis.
“So that’s the reason! It really has nothing to do with Tang Xia. Just now I believed that… Haha, I’m sorry, Tang Xia!” Dabing smiled awkwardly.
