Chapter 348: 255 Mysterious Large Pills!_3

Shen Zhiqiao furrowed his brows, thinking about the rare species they treasured so much, which was actually discovered by Xia Ye. His expression was clearly not very pleased.

Xia Ye glanced over at them and said, "By the way, the leaf was already broken when I picked it up."

Even if she had been the one to break it, Professor Bian wouldn’t have been upset with her, but old ancestors, they don’t take the blame for others.

As soon as she said this, others couldn’t help but think of Yang Qiange, who had experimented last.

And Yang Qiange instantly defended herself, "No, no, it was fine when I finished. I don’t know what happened!"

Her defense came so quickly, as if she had premeditated it.

It inevitably made people hear the hidden meaning of protesting too much.

But since the leaf was such a tiny thing, even the surveillance camera couldn’t capture it clearly. Whether Yang Qiange really didn’t know the leaf had broken, or she knew and purposefully didn’t mention it, only she would know.

Even so, the expressions people gave Yang Qiange began to carry a strange suspicion.

Weekends at Beijing University, like for the Department of Biomedical Sciences and other key departments, were mostly spent shuttling between the lab and the library.

But there were quite a few students who would do something in their dorms that others wouldn’t understand but were of personal interest to them.

Like Hu Zhuangzhuang from the Scientific Cultivation Club, who was currently sitting cross-legged on his dormitory bed, lighting a coil of autumn mosquito incense, closing his eyes, and meditating devoutly.

Actually, apart from being a bit short and chubby, Hu Zhuangzhuang had quite a handsome face. At his chubbiest, his face was round and plump, quite adorable, but if he could lose some weight, perhaps...

Hu Zhuangzhuang was in his senior year, his credits were already complete, and with this last year, he only needed to finish a thesis to graduate smoothly. He had plenty of time.

He was very focused while meditating, motionless as a bell.

But on closer inspection... it seemed like his mouth was slightly moving, chewing on something...

Next to his bed, the ’hawthorn’ Large Pill, had already been eaten down by a small half.

Hu Zhuangzhuang was very obedient. The junior sister had said she made these health pills especially for them, advising to pinch a bit and hold it in the mouth while meditating daily, and he had been doing just that.

This had been the case every day.

He asked other juniors if they had been eating it, and it turned out they hadn’t been as diligent as him.

"Senior, you eat it every day? How do you manage? Doesn’t it taste incredibly bitter?"

"Senior, I don’t want to waste the junior sister’s kindness, but after trying to stick with it for two days, I just couldn’t take it anymore. It made me cry from the bitterness!"

Hu Zhuangzhuang shook his head, thinking his juniors were exaggerating.

The pill... indeed it wasn’t tasty, but to cry from bitterness?

At least for Hu Zhuangzhuang, the first time was just spending a half-hour petrified on his bed.

The pill looked like a hawthorne cake, but once in his mouth, there wasn’t a hint of sweetness or sourness.

There was only one sensation—bitterness.

It was like the bitterness of a bitter gourd had come alive in his mouth...

However, Hu Zhuangzhuang quickly got used to the bitterness; it was the taste of the adult world, after all!

And the pill had a particularly solid texture, making it feel like many types of Chinese Patent Medicine Herbs were compressed together in it.

Thinking that his junior sister was a brilliant student from the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Hu Zhuangzhuang felt even more at ease eating it.

After an hour of meditation, Hu Zhuangzhuang calmly opened his eyes.

His mouth was bitter, making him feel a bit thirsty. He was about to get up to grab some water from under his bed when suddenly the sole of his foot felt like it’d been stabbed by a thousand needles—

His foot had gone numb.

Being chubby, his feet often went numb after an hour of sitting.

Looking at the water cup just out of reach below, Hu Zhuangzhuang sullenly endured the numbness.

He definitely supported the health pills his junior sister made, but after eating them for so long... he hadn’t really noticed any improvements in his health.

It was still as easy for his feet to go numb as before.

And the more he couldn’t move, the thirstier he felt, his lips almost sticking together.

He just stared at the water cup on the desk below, his mind consumed by the refreshing sensation of water passing through his throat.

If only the cup could move to him on its own—

As he thought this, the next second, right before his eyes, the water cup suddenly moved toward him!
