The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 58p2

Chapter 58p2: Online Dating a Bad Beta

The sun had long since set, and the twilight was growing longer. The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, shining into the room and making the person on the hospital bed look hazy.

Recently, Tan Yicheng’s medicine had been changed to a new batch. After taking it, she had become more sluggish and sleepy.

Professor Wei Lin knew very well the energetic and active nature of alphas and had specially used medicine to make Tan Yicheng often fall into a deep sleep, to repair her damaged gland with sleep.

At first, Tan Yicheng had resisted this kind of mind-numbing medicine. No alpha was willing to be restricted in this way. Later, she also knew that a healthy and sober alpha could control their pheromones well, but she could not do it now.

Then it was better to just sleep. When she was asleep, she would not cause trouble for herself, nor would she cause trouble for others.

As she was sleeping, she vaguely thought that her birthday this year would probably be spent sleeping.

She had been reminded by the nurse yesterday, and only then did she remember that tomorrow was her birthday.

Speaking of which, she had not celebrated her birthday for a long time. The few times she had been celebrated in her memory were either by her mother, who had passed away early, or by the neighbor’s mother, who had always taken care of her.

The neighbor’s mother also had her own children and could only give her occasional help. Any more would be difficult.

When she was half-asleep, she would always easily remember the past. She remembered that she had liked to celebrate her birthday when she was young.

Only at this time could she eat a better-tasting nutrient solution, sweet, like fruit juice, a world of difference from the mud-like nutrient solution she usually ate.

Many people would buy a cake to celebrate their birthday. Tan Yicheng’s way of celebrating her birthday was to get a bottle of fruit-flavored nutrient solution.

A family that had to buy the cheapest, near-expired products for nutrient solution could naturally not afford a cake. Even the young Tan Yicheng did not know what a cake was.

When she accidentally saw a cake in an advertisement, her birthday wish changed from “eating a better-tasting nutrient solution” to “eating a cake.”

Her daily hobby also became to deliberately take a detour to see the cake advertisement over and over again, imagining the taste in her mouth. The place where the advertisement was placed was a bit high, and she had to stand on her tiptoes, holding her schoolbag strap tightly and looking up.

Then, she smelled the sweet scent of cake.

The person on the bed slowly opened her eyes, the sleepiness in her eyes slightly faded, but her hearing had woken up first, and she heard the low conversation.

“Yes, you have someone keep an eye on him first. Don’t get too close and be discovered by the old dog…”

In an instant, Tan Yicheng recognized that this was Xi Congshuang’s voice. She couldn’t tell the voice she was talking to.

It was definitely not the voice of those two assistants with excessive smiles. That person was more cautious.

As if sensing that the person on the bed was awake, Xi Congshuang quickly ended the conversation, and the room became quiet again.

The sweet scent continued to spread. Tan Yicheng finally belatedly remembered that she seemed to have asked Xi Congshuang to bring something back last night.

What it was, she had really forgotten a little.

It can’t be a cake, right?

Just as Tan Yicheng thought that Xi Congshuang had not noticed that she was awake, the person sitting on the chair by the bed spoke, “Are you really not going to wake up?”

Tan Yicheng opened her eyes. She often had countless questions for Xi Congshuang. “How did you know I was awake?”

It was also strange. Half a month ago, she had never thought that she would one day be able to talk to Xi Congshuang calmly.

At that time, her mind was filled with only one thought, and that was to kill the other party.

She hadn’t managed to kill her. Seeing Xi Congshuang sign countless bills day after day, spending money like water, she didn’t know what Xi Congshuang was thinking, but she had first lost her temper.

Xi Congshuang raised her hand and turned on the night light by the bed. “Your breathing frequency has changed.”

Tan Yicheng propped herself up and sat up, turning her head to look. “Breathing frequency? Could it be that you’ve been staring at me while I sleep?”

In the night, the other party’s gaze was gentle.

Xi Congshuang did not continue this topic and instead said, “I bought the cake you asked me to buy. It’s on the table. Do you want to get up and eat?”

She raised her hand and pointed. On the table in the hospital room was a blueberry cake, covered by a glass cover.

Tan Yicheng: “…”

She really bought it?

No, she really said it?

As if possessed, Tan Yicheng really did lift the blanket, get out of bed, and walk to the side of the table.

When she really saw the cake with blueberries on top, her expression became complicated. She had not expected that the first birthday cake in her life would be bought by Xi Congshuang.

How could she have bought it? How could she have bought it?

Countless questions lingered in her mind. Tan Yicheng, who did not know what emotion to show in front of this cake, glanced at Xi Congshuang.

Xi Congshuang did not understand the meaning of this gaze. She came forward, lifted the cover, and completely revealed the cake to Tan Yicheng.

She asked, “You asked me to buy a blueberry cake. Did I buy the wrong one?”

“…” Tan Yicheng shook her head.

Xi Congshuang looked at her for a while and tentatively took this shake of the head as meaning that it was not wrong.

The cake she had always wanted to eat when she was young, she had found that it was everywhere after she came to the Central Star, never as rare and precious as in her memory. Tan Yicheng admitted that she had long since lost interest in cake.

This kind of sweet, brightly colored thing was something that only children would love to eat.

She had abandoned the longing in her memory and had thrown herself into her daily studies and training.

To say that she had not eaten cake in the academy was impossible, but she had not had a specially bought birthday cake.

Tan Yicheng did not care about her birthday and had not revealed her birthday to anyone, so she had no chance of being celebrated. Occasionally, when she went home, she would be pulled by the neighbor’s mother to stay for a meal.

That was all, nothing more.

As if bewitched, she sat down at the table. The exquisitely decorated cake was pushed in front of her, and a cake knife and fork were placed on the side.

Tan Yicheng felt a faint sense of anticipation. She didn’t quite know how to celebrate a birthday. She was also a little silly from taking medicine, and her dazed gaze turned to Xi Congshuang.

“What should I do?” Tan Yicheng asked.

“…”

Xi Congshuang, who had originally just wanted to put down the cake and inform the other party of the contents of the document, suddenly changed her mind. She stopped by the table.

In contrast to Tan Yicheng, Xi Congshuang had celebrated too many birthdays. As the heir of two families, her birthday was no longer a simple celebration, but a disguised social event.

She both detested that kind of hypocrisy and clearly remembered every step.

Insert the candles, then blow them out, cut the cake that could only be eaten for one bite before being divided, and then be told by the nannies the next day that the leftover cake could not be kept and had been cleaned up.

Xi Congshuang simplified the process and said, “To celebrate a birthday, you need to blow out the candles and make a wish. I told the shop assistant that you can’t have an open flame in your room, so I asked her for another, more special kind of candle.”

Her fair fingers held a candle and inserted it in the center of the cake. She snapped her fingers, and the orange light of the candle lit up.

This was a voice-controlled electronic candle.

The light in the depths of Tan Yicheng’s eyes lit up with the light of the candle. Her face was illuminated by the warm yellow light, and she stared at the light of the electronic candle in a daze.

Xi Congshuang reminded her, “The candle is lit. You can close your eyes and make a wish now, in a voice that only you can hear.”

While grumbling to herself, Is this to coax a child? Who would say their wish out loud in front of others? Tan Yicheng really did close her eyes and made a wish unskillfully.

Her inner voice stopped. Tan Yicheng opened her eyes to blow out the candle.

She knew that this was an eternal electronic candle, but she had a premonition that this candle would go out.

“Thud.”

As expected, the sound of a snap of the fingers sounded again, and the candle went out.

Tan Yicheng’s breath hitched. She was covered in moonlight. If she had the heart to think back, she would have remembered that her heartbeat had coincided with the snap of the fingers at that moment.

Xi Congshuang, the dutiful birthday party host, said, “Okay, the candle is out. Now you can pick up the cake knife and cut the cake for yourself.”

She raised her hand and took away the electronic candle that was inserted in the middle.

The cake Xi Congshuang had bought was not big, enough for Tan Yicheng to finish by herself. The reason she had said that was just that she was used to dividing the food into exquisite small portions before she started eating.

As if she had just remembered that there was a cake knife by her hand, Tan Yicheng picked up the cake knife and divided the cake into two portions.

Before she could speak, she heard Xi Congshuang say again, “This is your application for reinstatement. I’ve already handled it. I just got it today.”

She couldn’t do much now. On the road to recovery, she could only prioritize her reinstatement.

The alpha who had harmed her was about to be found. Her family was in the Central Star. The monk could run, but the temple couldn’t.

Tan Yicheng stared at the thing on the table in disbelief and suddenly looked up. “You… how did you do it?”

The application for reinstatement was not that simple. Her classmate’s family was in the Central Star, and she had acquaintances working in the academy. She had long been prepared for the difficulties on the road to reinstatement.

But now, the signed document was spread out in front of her. Even the date of reinstatement was blank. She could fill it in as she pleased. It would take effect as long as she signed Tan Yicheng’s name.

Xi Congshuang was nonchalant, her arms crossed as she leaned against the table. “It’s just a matter of sponsoring a batch of medicine. The academy won’t just refuse a sponsorship.”

She did not mention what new version her reputation in the company had become. When she wanted to achieve a goal, she often did not care about the outside world’s gaze.

If she had cared too much, she would have gone crazy in her youth. A person who thought too much would easily go crazy and die, and would not have lived until now.

Xi Congshuang said, “Whether you accept it or not, happy twentieth birthday.”

“Happy birthday, Tan Yicheng.”

“…”

The smart device on her wrist vibrated, reminding its owner that her birthday had arrived. The sound, which had been habitually ignored in previous years, became particularly noticeable at this moment.

Tan Yicheng’s gaze shifted from the document to Xi Congshuang. Her lips moved, and the doubt that had been buried deep in her heart was finally asked, “Xi Congshuang, are you…”

“No.” Xi Congshuang answered quickly, looked up, and looked straight at the person opposite her, repeating once more, “I’m not.”

“…”

While the system, which always liked to be startled and had hidden ulterior motives, was not around, Xi Congshuang pressed one hand on the table, bent down towards her, raised a finger, and placed it on her lips, silently: Shh—

Don’t say it.

The bewitched Tan Yicheng really did not say it. Her mind was filled with the image of the other person bending down towards her, and she did not come to her senses for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, Xi Congshuang did have a good appearance, with stunning features and light-colored lips. This easily gave people a wrong impression, always making them subconsciously look at the most colorful part of her face.

By the time they reacted, they would find themselves trapped in the other’s eyes, unable to pull out.

After a long while, Tan Yicheng suddenly asked, “Wait, how did you know it was my birthday?”

Xi Congshuang: “…?”

After all this time, she really doesn’t know what she said to me last night?

For the first time, Xi Congshuang felt that she was so angry that she laughed. She flicked her forehead with her hand. “What are you thinking? Didn’t you tell me yourself?”

Tan Yicheng covered her forehead and thought in a daze.

Did I say it?

I actually even said my birthday?

Was I so eroded by Xi Congshuang’s sugar-coated bullets???
