Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 236 The undercurrent is surging

Lu He held Xia Lan and they cuddled on the sofa all night, wrapped in a thick blanket.

Lu He threw all her wet clothes on the floor and curled up naked in the blanket.

Their breathing was steady and even.

Xia Lan, who had been sleeping with her head pressed against Lu He's chest, was woken up by the heat. She looked up at Lu He's face, which appeared flushed as if she were sick.

Xia Lan hurriedly reached out to touch her forehead; ouch, it was burning hot.

She has a fever!

Xia Lan carefully stepped out from under the blanket, tucked the blanket back into Lu He's clothes, and then went to the bed to fetch a thicker quilt, making sure Lu He was warm.

Seeing that she was still not awake and only slightly frowning, it was probably due to physical discomfort. The flush on her face made her look very tired.

"I'll make her a bowl of ginger tea first," Xia Lan thought as she walked into the kitchen and dialed Lin Zhao's number.

Free errands to buy medicine, might as well take advantage of it.

The weather has cleared up today, and sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains onto Lu He's pale face.

She lay on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, her forehead burning hot. She felt dizzy and weak, her severe cold and fever leaving her too weak to even open her eyes.

Soon, Lin Zhao, the errand boy Xia Lan had called, arrived with fever-reducing medicine.

When we were at one turn away from our destination, we heard the sound of a motorcycle engine behind us.

Lin Zhao turned around and saw the familiar black motorcycle and black helmet approaching from afar.

It's that annoying Shen Tong! Lin Zhao simply stood at the corner of the intersection, blocking Shen Tong's way.

Fortunately, Shen Tong wasn't driving fast and managed to brake in time.

"Little devil! Are you out of your mind?" Shen Tong took off his helmet and began to lecture Lin Zhao: "Stopping a car like this is so dangerous!"

Lin Zhao rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Why are you here?"

"If you can come, why can't I?" Shen Tong deliberately teased her.

"How can that be the same? I call Lin Yingxin 'Sister Lin Yingxin,' and what's yours? Who are you?!"

"Pfft, Han Xi even calls me 'sister'~" Shen Tong deliberately emphasized the word "sister".

"What do you mean? Stop lying!" Lin Zhao stomped her foot, her temper flaring. "You filthy woman, you're talking nonsense! Han Xi doesn't have a sister!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" The sister Shen Tong was talking about was obviously different from the sister Lin Zhao was talking about. What would a child know? But Shen Tong didn't bother explaining to her: "You don't understand. If you don't believe me, ask her~"

"Han Xi can't speak right now," Lin Zhao said, hands on her hips. "She's unconscious right now. My sister said she has a high fever!"

"Oh, right, I'm here to deliver medicine. I'm just wasting your time!" Lin Zhao waved his hand impatiently. "Get out of the way, or someone will die of illness."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Shen Tong took off running. Upon hearing that Lin Zhao was sick with a high fever, Shen Tong was immediately anxious and stepped on the gas. As he passed by Lin Zhao, he snatched the bag of medicine from her hand.

"Hey! Robbery! Robbery!" Lin Zhao shouted angrily, baring his teeth and roaring as he chased after the motorcycle. Unfortunately, his legs couldn't keep up with the wheels, and he could only inhale the exhaust fumes from behind.

The motorcycle quickly left her behind and disappeared at the end of the street.

The urgent knocking on the door made Xia Lan realize that it wasn't Lin Zhao.

At this moment, she was feeding the drowsy Lu He ginger tea, then put down the bowl and got up to open the door.

"Why is it you..." Xia Lan was not welcoming to Shen Tong.

"Delivering medicine~" Shen Tong held up the bag of medicine in her hand.

"You ran into Lin Zhao?" Xia Lan estimated that Lin Zhao should be arriving soon, so the two must have met on the road.

“I can’t hide it from you,” Shen Tong smiled awkwardly, “My original intention was actually to take her to the police station to make a statement, but I heard she was sick, and I was very worried…”

"Thank you for your concern for my baby..." Xia Lan casually asserted her ownership, then sat back down next to Lu He and picked up the bowl of ginger tea again.

Shen Tong followed along and sat on the opposite sofa, awkwardly trying to hand over the fever reducer.

Lu He was too dazed to open her mouth to drink the ginger tea. Lin Zhao was not around at the moment, so Xia Lan had nothing to worry about. She picked up the ginger tea and drank it all in one gulp. Then she kissed Lu He and fed her the ginger tea.

Shen Tong's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She completely understood that this girl was doing it on purpose. Her fingers, gripping the plastic bag, turned white. She smiled on the outside, but inside she was furious.

Without saying a word, Xia Lan quickly took the anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine from the bag, glanced at it, gently pressed it, took out the pills, put them in Lu He's mouth, and then continued to feed her ginger tea with her mouth.

After helping Lu He swallow the medicine, he helped her to sleep.

Shen Tong stood awkwardly to the side, her heart burning with jealousy.

"Is there anything else?" Xia Lan was about to ask him to leave.

Shen Tong understood, but she wasn't so easily dismissed: "As a friend, it's only right that I visit you in the hospital. And if there's anything I can help with, just let me know..."

"Thank you, but I need to clean her up... It's not convenient for you to be here..." Xia Lan had already put it very tactfully.

Shen Tong then noticed the bare shoulder peeking out from under the blanket; Lu He must not be wearing any clothes.

Then we can't leave so easily. Shen Tong stood up and rolled up her sleeves: "Then I'll help you out. It's too much trouble for you to do it alone."

Xia Lan was shocked. She sat down in front of Lu He, blocking Shen Tong from getting closer, and said, word by word, "It's not necessary, and it's inconvenient. Please leave!"

"What if I don't leave?" Shen Tong also stopped smiling, raised her eyebrows, and became firm.
