Chapter 973: You Are a Couple?

“Why are they so early? She hasn’t recovered yet,” Monica said.
Maxi said, “Earlier than I expected.”
Monica said, “Shucks.”
Shen Qianshu could not help but ask. “What are you guys talking about?”
Monica turned around. “Do you see that group of youths?”
“I see them.”
“They’re out to kill you.”
Shen Qianshu looked up. The high fever made her eyes blur. Looking at her would make one feel pitiful for her. “Doesn’t Black Rose want me alive?”
“If she wants you to be alive, she also wants you to be able to be alive,” Monica said. “If you are dead, she won’t even bat an eyelid. Anyway… there’s still Ye Ling.”
Shen Qianshu’s face changed, and she thought of Ye Ling and Noah.
The two different people.
“Dream on!”
Maxi said, “So, you have to stay alive.”
Monica left very quickly just as she had come. Before she left, she kissed Maxi on the side of her lips. Shen Qianshu’s jaw dropped. She shut her eyes and thought to herself, The high fever is making me wonky. I’m seeing things.
Everything is an illusion.
“Monica and you… kissed?”
Her desire to gossip overwhelmed her will to stay alive. Even if she had no idea if she would be dead or alive and she knew nothing about her dangerous future, nothing could stop this woman from being a busybody.
“Yeah.” Maxi was very straightforward. “Haven’t you kissed your bestie before?”
“We’re not so cringy.”
Oh, once.
But… something’s odd about it.
“You guys are… a couple?”
“Bingo. Sharp eyes.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Damn, you guys weren’t even hiding it anyway! Girl, what about your future husband?”
This liar.
“I’m bisexual. One in each hand,” Maxi said.
Shen Qianshu had to readjust the way she viewed things.
Maxi said, “There are surveillance cameras upstairs. Maxi and Monica are a pair. How normal it is for us to kiss.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Why do I feel like… that is really abnormal?”
Maxi said, “Worry about your own illness.”
Shen Qianshu was not worried about her life at all. She felt even better now that she could hear some gossip. “Black Rose has so many ladies, so do they just fight with one another?”
“Do you think Monica and I are compatible?”
“Of course you are.” Shen Qianshu complimented in a fake manner. “You are both underage, yet you are so quick on deciding who you love. Who knows, interacting for so long every day might have caused an illusion for both of you.”
“Why would it matter?” Maxi said. “Miss Shen, you are really brave. You aren’t afraid of your own future, and instead, you are worrying about Monica’s relationship with me?”
“My future is not up to me. Anyway, Black Rose has already got it all planned out for me. I just have to follow it, and I’ll be fine. What is there to worry about? I might as well find some fun.”
“Makes sense,” Maxi said. “So, Monica and I become your fun. Miss Shen, your thinking is rather dangerous.”
Black Rose went downstairs and towards Shen Qianshu’s room.
Maxi turned around to mix the medicine, and she took out the thermometer under Shen Qianshu’s underarm. She looked at the thermometer and said calmly, “38 degrees. You are still having a high fever. I suggest that you get an injection. The medicine doesn’t seem to be taking any effect on you.”
Just then, Black Rose entered and heard the conversation.
“Unwilling to take an injection?”
“I’m afraid you would poison me,” Shen Qianshu said. “After all, it’s not like you have never done similar things to me before. You are very experienced with it, so I have to be careful.”
“Miss Shen, you don’t have to be so careful. You are on my island. I decide your life and death, and there is no need for me to resort to such unnecessary circumstances. Poisoning you would not do me any good at all.”
