With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 960 The Frail Heiress 5
"I brought you coffee." Azhen opened the bag in her hand, took out the coffee cup, and even helped Lian Yang insert the straw. "It's your favorite flavor."

Seeing Azhen's behavior, Lian Yang felt even more relieved. It seemed that Xia Zhen was just relying on him now, which was why she thought of coming to him, which was normal.

"Go play basketball after you've drunk it. Don't worry about me, I'll watch over you." Azhen's voice was slow and soft, but it was full of perfunctory words.

She came here specifically to plant the Life-and-Death Gu in Lian Yang; otherwise, why would she have made this trip?
He downed his coffee in a few gulps and threw the trash in the bin.

He then smiled and asked Azhen, "So you wanted to watch me play basketball?"

It wasn't that Lian Yang was confident now, but rather that he believed he had completely won Xia Zhen's heart given their current situation.

Azhen smiled but didn't nod, but Lian Yang would fill in the blanks in his mind.

Some people look at him twice and he feels loved, let alone Azhen speaking with a smile. He doesn't need to do anything; his brain fills in the blanks with the result he most desires. Even Yangben doesn't like his clients, so naturally he can't detect some subtle changes.

Lian Yang did indeed perform well afterward, glancing at Azhen from time to time.

Seeing her looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

But beneath Azhen's smiling eyes lay a calm indifference.

The upgraded venomous insect bite is no longer as slow as before; it works very quickly. Within just three days, Lian Yang's body will show some symptoms.

On the tenth day, he would clearly feel that his body was weak.

After a month, he will lose a lot of weight, and it will be obvious that he is unhealthy and terribly weak.

For a long time to come, his body will be in a very weak state, but it won't kill him for the time being. He went to the hospital for checkups, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him.

He absorbed the illness from Qin Yin's body, and his skin showed no reaction.

The client's body has not shown any signs of weakness yet, so no one would associate the matter with her.

Birth, aging, illness, and death are so common for ordinary people.

If outsiders were to comment, they would only say that they were two unlucky people, a pair of star-crossed lovers.

I don't really like this review.

But it seems there's no way to stop others from saying what they want.

She couldn't possibly not mess with Lian Yang.

Azhen had already planned it all out. Once Lian Yang was weakened, she would definitely arrange the best medical care for him.

Didn't the mother and son want to fight their way back to Beijing?

Beijing's medical care is indeed among the best in the country, so she sent them to Beijing for treatment.

A smile played on Azhen's lips, her eyes bright. As for how to deal with Lian Yang's mother, Yun Xiuzi, they'd see when the time came.

The other party is probably no good if they can use Gu worms to harm innocent people. Since Lian Yang is in trouble, she'll definitely look for the reason, and she might suspect her one day.

If the other party wants to enjoy a comfortable life for a couple of days, it's better to find out later.

Tearing off relations will only make things worse for them.

"It seems like it's not good to not break ties completely," 997 suddenly interjected.

Ah Zhen couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, that's right."

Who made them do those things? Isn't it normal to be unhappy?
As it approached lunchtime, Lian Yang decided to end the meal and went to Azhen's side to ask if she was hungry, as it was time to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

The others had been playing for several hours and were all hungry, so they decided to go to the cafeteria together.

At the fork in the road, A-Lang ran into Qin Yin. However, Qin Yin said she needed to go back to her dorm first and would go to the cafeteria later. A-Lang could clearly sense that Qin Yin seemed to have figured something out, as her expression became much more natural.

Lian Yang, who was walking next to her, clenched his fists at that moment. He clearly sensed that Qin Yin had become distant towards him and was unhappy.

"Xia Zhen, could we organize a get-together sometime later? That way we can all get to know each other." The speaker was Cao Zhicheng, Lian Yang's roommate. He was neither handsome nor ugly, but I heard that his family was well-off. After entering university, he had several girlfriends and was the kind of person who was outgoing and fun-loving.

“Yeah, we’re already sophomores, and our two dorms have never gotten together. We have to do it at least once.” Wu Jie said, giving Meng Xuan, who was thinner, a push. His big size almost made Meng Xuan stumble, but he quickly pulled him back and laughed, “Right, Lao Si?”

Meng Xuan pushed up his glasses and pretended to disdainfully push Wu Jie away: "We still have to wait for Xia Zhen to ask her roommate. It's not easy for her to agree on her own."

Lian Yang chimed in, "We do need to consult with other people."

A-Zhou clearly sensed that Lian Yang was unhappy.

“Right, right, I just went to the cafeteria. It seems you don’t have classes today. Should we ask them to come down and eat together, and discuss it?” Cao Zhicheng said. “It’s on me.”

"Then I'll send them a message. They have their own things to do today and might not be available." A-Zhen picked up her phone and sent a message in the group chat.

Xia Zhen: Cao Zhicheng suggested having a get-together with our dorm and asked if you wanted to come to the cafeteria for a meal. Are you free?
At the library, Nie Xiaomei, who was about to go to the cafeteria, quickly stopped getting up and replied: "No time, still at the library."

On her way back to the dormitory, Qin Yin, who was planning to ask the other roommates when they were going to the cafeteria, saw this and quickly replied: Unfortunately, something came up, so I'll probably be going to the cafeteria later.

Qiao Jiajia, who was in the dormitory, saw this and quickly lay back down in bed: "The blanket is holding me up tightly, don't want me to get up. Bring me some food, thank you."

The group shared the same thought: since Cao Zhicheng was there, they definitely wouldn't go.

Everyone knows that guy is a womanizer, changing girlfriends one after another; he's really not one of them.

They have no interest in this kind of social gathering now that it's clearly for a purpose.

A-Zhu sent a message in the group because she knew what they were thinking.

"Looks like bad luck." A-Zhen showed her phone to Lian Yang, and the person standing next to him also caught a glimpse of it.

Cao Zhicheng felt somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn't show it, so he had no choice but to give up.

After the meal, Cao Zhicheng left with the others first: "You young couples must want to stay a little longer, so we won't be third wheels."

As they left the cafeteria, Cao Zhicheng couldn't help but say, "Those girls in Xia Zhen's dorm are all so arrogant. They don't give any face at all. All they know is to study. They don't know how to socialize or make friends. With them like this, I'm afraid they'll have a hard time making it after graduation."

"I mean, with Xia Zhen in her current state, how could the second brother possibly do that? Is the second brother out of his mind?"

"That appearance is frightening."

"If it weren't for the fact that the second son was so attentive to her and she was really in love with him, and it didn't seem like he was acting, I would have thought he had ulterior motives."

"There are so many rich girls pursuing the second son, he really doesn't need to go after Xia Zhen. Is there really such a thing as true love in this world? I just can't stand it."

"If any of my girlfriends had even one flaw that I didn't like, I would break up with them immediately. I can't tolerate such obvious imperfections."

"Xia Zhen isn't without her merits. Xia Jinsheng is the richest man in Qing City. If it's just a marriage of convenience, we can marry her and keep her around as long as she doesn't interfere in other matters, which is fine."

Wu Jie remained silent. Although he also found it hard to accept a girlfriend with a facial defect, she came from such a good family, why should she suffer such humiliation?
He dared not speak to Cao Zhicheng, for offending him would only result in him suffering the loss.

Meng Xuan pushed up his glasses: "We're all in the same dorm, so don't say such hurtful things. It'll be embarrassing if Second Brother hears you. Besides, Xia Zhen wouldn't date someone with your kind of thinking. It's really not worth it."

"I know my limits; I won't say it in front of the second son." Cao Zhicheng said somewhat sullenly. If it were anyone else who said this, he certainly wouldn't have given them a good look, but this person was Meng Xuan, from Beijing, and had a close relationship with the Ling family. If his family wanted to develop in Beijing, they had to maintain a good relationship with Meng Xuan.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing unusual happened in between.

Early that morning, Lian Yang got up and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He almost stumbled and fell, but he quickly grabbed the edge of the bed and slowly got down.

It's been late these past few days, so I'll try to be earlier and on time.
