Being able to obtain such a rare opportunity to study abroad is undoubtedly a great recognition of her professional ability, and it is also an excellent opportunity for her to broaden her horizons and improve herself.

But when the intern learned about this, he had another plan in mind.

She found Ning Xi, secretly stuffed a packet of powder into her mouth, and whispered, "Doctor Ning, go out with the dean this time and find a chance to put this medicine in his water. After that, I will give you another 100,000."

Ning Xi's eyes widened and she shook her head repeatedly in horror, "No, this is illegal, I absolutely cannot do this."

The intern's face darkened and he threatened coldly: "Don't forget, you took my money before and promised to help me."

"If you don't do it, I will expose the fact that you were paid to secretly take photos of the dean and bring your reputation to ruin."

"Besides, do you think the Su family will let you go? If they knew that you had such a good opportunity but messed it up, they would definitely make a bigger fuss."

Ning Xi's face turned pale in an instant, like a piece of white paper, completely bloodless.

She thought about the hardships she had gone through along the way. Was all of that going to go to waste because of this decision?

But if she really did as the intern asked, how could she be true to her conscience and how could she face Ye Wuyou's trust?

Seeing her hesitation, the intern continued to tempt her, "Just give him the drug. The dean won't notice it. Wait until he falls asleep and take a few photos. It'll be easy for you. Once you do this, we'll be even."

Ning Xi bit her lower lip until blood oozed from it.

In the torment of her heart, she finally nodded helplessly.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the intern sneered with success, warned Ning Xi not to play any tricks, and left in a hurry.

Ning Xi stood there alone, holding the packet of medicine powder tightly in her hand.

Soon, the day of departure arrived.

Ning Xi dragged her heavy luggage and went to the airport with Ye Wuyou.

Along the way, Ye Wuyou tried to discuss some medical topics about this exchange with Ning Xi to ease her nervousness.

However, Ning Xi was absent-minded and just responded perfunctorily.

In the waiting hall, Ning Xi's palms were full of sweat. She secretly glanced at Ye Wuyou from time to time, feeling torn between her conscience and her desires.

After boarding the plane, Ning Xi sat next to Ye Wuyou. She felt her heartbeat was particularly loud in this small cabin.

When the flight attendant came over to serve meals and drinks, Ning Xi took the cup with trembling hands, but she didn't dare look at Ye Wuyou.

She secretly reached into her pocket and touched the packet of medicine powder. The cold touch from her fingertips made her shiver.

Ye Wuyou seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Ning Xi. He asked softly, "Doctor Ning, are you feeling unwell? You look very pale."

Ning Xi pretended to be calm and replied: "Dean, I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired."

The plane finally landed slowly. Ning Xi followed Ye Wuyou out of the cabin. Her steps were a little shaky, as if every step was on cotton.

When picking up the luggage, Ning Xi seemed a little absent-minded and almost took someone else's suitcase by mistake. It was Ye Wuyou who reminded her in time.

After leaving the airport, they took the arranged vehicle to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, when checking in, we were told that due to a glitch in the hotel reservation system, only one double room was left.

Ye Wuyou frowned slightly, looked at Ning Xi, and said, "Let's do this for now, Doctor Ning, you stay here, and I'll see if I can coordinate."

Ning Xi was shocked and said quickly, "Dean, this is embarrassing. I'll go and coordinate it."

Ye Wuyou waved his hand and said, "You should rest first. You must be tired after running all the way today. I will take care of it."

Ning Xi walked into the room and looked at the two beds in the room, feeling mixed emotions.

She was grateful for Ye Wuyou's care, but also felt extremely guilty and scared for what she was about to do.

She sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Ye Wuyou came back and said helplessly: "There is no other way. There are no vacancies in the nearby hotels. We can only make do with this tonight. Don't think too much about it. Just treat it as a special situation."

Ning Xi nodded and whispered, "Okay, Dean."

When Ye Wuyou went to wash up, Ning Xi's eyes fell on the kettle on the table. Her hand unconsciously reached into her pocket and touched the packet of medicine powder.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

This is a great opportunity.

Ning Xi's hand was tightly clutching the packet of medicine powder in her pocket, her knuckles turning white from the force.

In the extreme struggle, Ning Xi slowly stood up and pretended to walk casually towards the kettle on the table.

He picked up the kettle with trembling hands, poured the powder into one of the cups, quickly poured in hot water, and stirred it gently a few times, trying to dissolve the powder as quickly as possible.

Just when Ning Xi finished all this and put the cup back on the table, Ye Wuyou came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

He was only wearing a loose bathrobe, and his hair was still a little wet, with a few strands casually hanging on his forehead. Water droplets slid down his well-defined cheeks, dripped onto his exposed collarbone, and then slowly sank into the bathrobe.

Ning Xi inadvertently looked up and saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat and a blush unconsciously appeared on her face.

She looked away in panic, but couldn't help but glance back secretly.

Ye Wuyou didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Ning Xi.

While wiping his hair with a towel, he walked towards Ning Xi, and said in a low voice with the laziness of just taking a shower: "What are you thinking about?"

Ning Xi replied hesitantly: "No, nothing, Dean, please drink some water."

Her voice trembled slightly, her eyes were full of tension and anxiety, and her fingers were twisted together nervously.

Ye Wuyou walked to Ning Xi's side and reached out to pick up the glass of drugged water.

Ning Xi's breathing froze instantly. Her eyes were fixed on the water cup in Ye Wuyou's hand. Her throat seemed to be choked by something. She wanted to stop it but didn't know how to start.

The moment Ye Wuyou brought the cup of water to his lips, Ning Xi's heartbeat seemed to stop, her mind went blank, and she could only watch.

However, Ye Wuyou only took a small sip, then frowned and said, "This water seems to taste a bit strange."

Ning Xi's heart sank suddenly, her face turned pale, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe the water quality here is different."

Ye Wuyou looked at Ning Xi with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but didn't say much. He just put the cup back on the table.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely subtle. Ning Xi could clearly hear her own violent heartbeat. She didn't dare look up at Ye Wuyou, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.

Ye Wuyou slowly approached Ning Xi.

He exuded a faint scent of shower gel, which mixed with his unique scent, enveloping Ning Xi.
