"Wa!" Fang Qing Kui looked at the packets of food brought back by Jia Shao and gave a big sigh. "Are these desserts from the \'Beautiful\' Café at the corner of the street? Did you happen to pick up money from the streets? Usually, you will not even pack a biscuit for me and today, you brought back so many of these expensive desserts, especially........"
She leaned forward in front of Jia Shao and involuntarily reached out her hand to place it on Jia Shao\'s forehead to do a comparison with her own body temperature. "You don\'t have a fever but the thing you hated most in your life are desserts, isn\'t that right?"
Jia Shao threw a side glance at her and said. "Zhen Lang treated me to all these."
Fang Qing Kui opened a box, carefully took out a cake and ate a bite. She showed an extremely happy and sweet smile. "This is so delicious!"
Apparently, the good friend\'s soul was totally hooked away by the desserts and did not pay attention to Jai Shao\'s words. Jia Shao leaned into her ear and shouted loudly. "Zhen Lang bought all these for me.!!!"
"Zhen Lang?!" The pretty little woman swallowed the cake in her mouth and widened her eyes. "Is he looking for death?"
After thinking about it, she quickly shook her head. "That\'s not correct. According to his character, he would have stuffed all these into your stomach and would not give you the opportunity to pack up all the desserts as take-away for me to eat."
"Because......." Jia Shao seemed to be thinking of something. Standing with both her hands on her hips in the reception hall, she was laughing madly and smugly as her shoulders shook with laughter. "Because I vomited.......I vomited on him! When he went to clean up, I packed up everything and ran. I have taken my revenge and I feel very happy."
"You are really evil."
"Can you blame me?" Jia Shao was indignant. "If it wasn\'t for him, would I be hospitalized that year for eating a cream cake? Have you ever seen anyone landing up in the hospital for a week-long stay all the while pooping milk white substance with a milky fragrance?"
Fang Qing Kui who was eating happily had stopped chewing and quietly put down the cake in her hand. She glared at Jia Shao with a dark face.
Someone was oblivious to the situation and rubbed her tummy. With a pleased expression, she said. "After vomiting, now I feel very hungry. I\'m going to order a bowl of fried rice with egg." She left the person gazing dully at the several boxes of beautifully packaged cakes.
She had known Jia Shao since they were in college. At that time, she already knew that Jia Shao has an absolutely irreconcilable enemy by the name of Zhen Lang. She had also witnessed their fights and grudges for each other for more than ten years. As for the reason why Jia Shao did not eat desserts, although she did not see with her own eyes, she could also gather from the snippets that her good friend told her. According to Jia Shao\'s strong straightforward character, there should not be great discrepancies.
It was said that when Jia Shao was 12 years old, she had gloriously won the first place in the national Taekwondo youth group which attracted attention from all quarters. The provincial team also regarded her as their focal figure for training.
However, a juvenile\'s performance is uncertain. When a young person grows up, one\'s performance can also likely be mediocre. At least two years of stable play is required before one is eligible to be chosen to enter the national team.
Just a week before her 2nd year of competition was Jia Shao\'s birthday. Jia Mama wanted to make her daughter happy and specially bought a 10-inch birthday cake to celebrate. But just because Zhen Lang had said he liked the big red flower on the cake, Jia Shao took the opportunity when no one was paying attention and totally licked clean all the cream on the cake. She also ate more than half of the cake and that very night, she was admitted into the hospital which resulted in a week-long stay.
Then she could not participate in the competition.
Then she lost the qualification to be selected for the national team.
Then later, she still participated in all competitions and still won numerous awards either big or small and was regarded as the future star of Taekwondo in the country.
However, when she had the opportunity to be selected for the national team for the 2nd time, Zhen Lang\'s words changed her fate once again.
"If you enter the national team, you will suffer from numerous injuries and you will have to take medicine regularly. In future, if you look neither like a female nor a male, then no one will want you."
The child\'s words made an impression in Jia Shao\'s parents\' hearts. Since young, their daughter has been acting like a tomboy and when she grows up, what will they do if she really turns into a man?
So from that time onwards, Jia Shao said goodbye to her dreams. In her life, there is only one mission left ~ the mission of fighting with her enemy, Zhen Lang.
To destroy Zhen Lang\'s happiness was her aim.
To set up Zhen Lang was her duty.
To make Zhen Lang suffer losses was her purpose.
To destroy Zhen Lang\'s reputation was the basis of her happiness.
In the end, the hard-working Jia Shao chose art major in the final year of the college entrance examination. In a curious coincidence, she could even obtain extra credits with her involvement in other competitions in her muddled, confused state of mind. She just managed to grab a place at the bottom of the student\'s list, in the same famous university that Zhen Lang was enrolled. In glory, the two of them, once again holding grudges, left home to study in a faraway place.
Fang Qing Kui looked at the cakes in front of her with her delicate chin propped up and mumbled to herself. "Jia Shao, actually, I think Zhen Lang did not do anything wrong. Eating that cream cake was totally your own decision. What has it to do with him?"
Jia Shao who was buying food outside felt a wave of chill eerily swept over her.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
The next day\'s dinner party was held on the lawn of Wang Family\'s Villa. When Zhen Lang and Jia Shao arrived, the place was already brightly lit up. People were coming and going continuously. Such a grand reception did not seem like an ordinary family dinner party. It looked more like a big company event.
The long buffet table was laden with all kinds of foods, fruits, seafood, grilled meats and an endless array of desserts. Hotel waiters were specially employed to serve the guests and bartenders served up their own special concoction of cocktails from time to time. It can be seen that Wang Family\'s style in entertaining is extremely grand.
When the two people appeared, they received a lot of attention. One is tall and steady while the other is slender and handsome. Each with his own characteristics and it was difficult to distinguish who was better.
Jia Shao did not deliberately dress up like she was neither a male nor a female. It was just her working attire and her habit since she was young. In addition, she had the advantage of height and she does not like wearing skirts or high-heel shoes. Even though she was obviously in a woman\'s shirt with laces, it was still easy for others to misunderstand.
Of course, she will not admit even if she dies......it is easy to misunderstand because her chest is too flat.
Moreover, she came to drink, not to socialize. So what is the point of dressing up so beautifully?
Faraway, Wang Shao Guan had seen the two people enter the door. Walking on her stiletto heels, she came up to them and affectionately wrapped her hands around Zhen Lang\'s arm. "Dr. Zhen, my male partner had an emergency and will not be coming, can I borrow you for the night?"
Before Zhen Lang could answer, the sound of Old Mr. Wang\'s laughter floated over. "Xiao Guan, is Dr. Zhen here? Quickly, come over.......come over......."
As Zhen Lang was talking in the crowd of people, his eyes were occasionally roving around. He noticed that someone had already jumped to the buffet table and was draining a glass of champagne without any signs of courtesy. Her hand was flying over the food and in a blink of an eye, a piece of steak appeared on her plate.
He noticed she was concentrating on eating and her movements were very refined. If one looks at her, she is absolutely exhibiting excellent table manners but if one closely observe, it can be seen that her speed is fast and the amount of food she consumes is very high which, not any normal person is comparable.
How is she able to combine elegance and speed so perfectly?
Then there is the wine! The girl like a flirtatious butterfly, danced around in the crowd of people with her signature smile as she chatted and drank with the people. From what he could see and count, she had already drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine.
It seems at this kind of party, someone was completely enjoying herself without feeling even a little bit uncomfortable.
Old Mr. Wang is an influential business magnate and with a stomp of his foot, he could make the business world tremble. The people who attended this reception were also elites of the business community. When Zhen Lang made an appearance with Wang Shao Guan hanging onto his arm, suddenly he became the focus of attention in the crowd. The whole night, people swirled around him and he was unable to find a way out.
As for Jia Shao, after she had eaten and drank enough, she sat down under a tree to chat with a group of girls while holding a glass of wine. From time to time, she would pull out her business card to distribute and in the middle of the crowd, occasional bursts of laughter could be heard.
Taking the opportunity when she was going to the toilet, Jia Shao quietly pulled out her cell phone and sent out a text message.
~ If anyone comes to the studio with my business card to make an appointment tomorrow, make sure you recommend the most expensive package.
After a while, her cell phone began to vibrate. Fang Qing Kui\'s reply came back quickly.
~ Our pricing was fixed three years ago. Starting tomorrow, all pricing will be increased by 50%.
Jia Shao smiled slyly and she replied with six words.
~ Reflects the feelings in my heart
She felt so happy and blessed here. Once she felt happy, she could not help but drink a few more glasses of wine and choose the more expensive seafood to savor. Things that did not cost money would often taste exceptionally fragrant.
However, eating too much of someone else\'s food may not be a good thing.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
After returning to home from the reception, Jia Shao began to feel itchy all over her body in the middle of the night. The more she scratched, the itchier she felt and the more she wanted to scratch. That night she tossed and turned and was unable to sleep.
Next day was a rest day. In the middle of the night, Zhen Lang had heard the sound of gushing water in the bathroom and he thought someone was so happy and wanted to create a disturbance. When it was dawn, the sound of gushing water could still be heard and he felt the situation strange.
Suddenly his door was pushed opened by force and someone stood in the doorway still wet with water vapor. "Vet! Do you have any medicine? My body feels itchy."
(Vet means Veterinarian, an animal doctor. JS is referring to ZL as an animal or beast doctor.)
He waved his hand and in a drowsy state with sleepy eyes, he said. "Come here. Let me have a look."
Not wanting to dispute with him, Jia Shao obediently climbed onto his bed, rolled up her sleeves and exposed her neck.
Zhen Lang looked at her exposed skin not covered by her clothes. The large red spots were scattered. Her face was clean and spotless. On her neck, two spots were emerging and there were more on her arms.
"What did you eat yesterday?" The finger stroked her skin.......no protrusions......they just looked red.
Jia Shao scratched hard and a few more scratch marks appeared on her skin. "I don\'t know. Anyway, it was what I ate at the dinner party."
"You may be allergic to the things served at the party or it may be due to seafood allergy." He reached out and grabbed his cell phone on the bedhead. "I will call the hospital and take you for an allergen test."
Jia Shao\'s fingers were continuously scratching and there were marks all over her body. "Vet, do you have any medicine now? I feel so itchy."
Zhen Lang thought for a while and took out a tube of medicine from the bedside drawer. "Apply this. Don\'t put too much."
"Um......" Jia Shao grabbed the medicine and rushed into the bathroom without paying attention to his words while he spoke into his phone in a soft voice.
As he was talking, the person who was still wet rushed back into his room. "Vet, I can\'t reach my back. Help me."
Zhen Lang squeezed some medicine on the palm of his hand and spread it on her back. The cool ointment temporarily relieved the itchiness and Jia Shao let out a long sigh.
No one noticed that a key was turning in the main door outside and when the door opened.......
"Hey, I still want."
"No. This is not good for the body."
"I don\'t care. If you don\'t give it to me, I\'ll take it myself."
"Don\'t be so barbarous, will you?"
"I\'m very barbarous, so will you give it to me?"
The things in Jia Mama\'s hands instantly dropped to the floor and she rushed all the way into the room. She saw her daughter sitting on the bed. Her whole body was straddling Zhen Lang as he lay on the bed while she was holding Zhen Lang\'s wrists. Her clothes were in a mess with suspicious red marks on her neck and there were also a lot of fierce looking scratch marks on her. Poor Zhen Lang who was lying on the bed was fighting her in resistance with a tragic and sorrowful expression.
"Hey!....." The dragon\'s palm flew on Jia Shao\'s head and the furious roar of a lioness sounded. "Dreadful girl!!! You dare to force yourself on Zhen Lang!!!!"
