Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Chapter 41 The Mysterious Poisonous Apple: What Should We Do?

As time went on, Jiang Shi's arms wrapped around Guo Wanxing's waist.

Guo Wanxing was initially a little stiff, but she quickly became engrossed in it, wrapping her arms around his neck.

At that moment, the temperature inside the cabin seemed to be rising, accompanied by the sounds of breathing and the friction of clothing.

I don't know who started it, but the cumbersome clothes were peeled off one by one and slid to the ground...

The soft light illuminated their overlapping figures, two bewildered young people.

Driven by an unknowing external force, they broke through the last barrier between them and became entangled together.

……

A dozen minutes later.

Outside cabin number seven.

Zhang Ruoyu reappeared.

He deliberately dressed casually, exposing his shoulders, with an expression of nervousness and anticipation.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gently knocked on Jiang Shi's cabin door.

"Knock knock..."

no respond.

She waited a few seconds, then knocked again, this time a little louder, while lowering her voice and calling softly:

"Jiang Shi? Jiang Shi? Are you there? Open the door? I... I'm still a little worried about Xiao Xiao..."

Silence reigned, with only the sound of her own breathing and heartbeat echoing in her ears.

So Zhang Ruoyu pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully, but there was no sound at all.

Was Jiang Shi asleep? Had the drug not taken effect? ​​Or was his willpower so strong that he could tough it out? Impossible, given the drug's potency…

Zhang Ruoyu waited at the door for several minutes, her mood gradually changing from anticipation to anxiety, and then to doubt and unease.

Finally, she bit her lip, feeling a deep sense of anger, resentment, and panic, and turned to leave.

On her way back to her cabin, her steps were unsteady, and her mind was in turmoil.

"That's not right... I clearly put drugs in both apples! Why didn't it have any effect? ​​Could it be... him?"

Zhang Ruoyu suddenly stopped in her tracks, a guess coming to mind.

"Xiaoxiao, no, no, how could Jiang Shi possibly harm a child? But the drug needs to be effective..."

She rushed back to her cabin, locked the door, and slid down with her back against the door.

Take out the 20ml glass bottle that is half-used from the storage space.

The bottle has a simple label: "Erotic Poison, colorless and odorless, with potent effects. If not properly managed, it will cause blood and qi to flow in reverse, resulting in swollen and painful meridians. In severe cases, it can lead to fainting or even death..."

Her original plan was simple: use an apology and an apple to lower Jiang Shi's guard; the drug in the apple would trigger intense lust, reaching its peak in about ten minutes; then she would visit him under the pretense of concern. At that point, Jiang Shi would lose his composure, and she could then proceed with her plan...

As long as a relationship is established, even in a dangerous environment, she can use it as a bond to tie Jiang Shi down.

This forced him to "take responsibility" and to protect himself.

Zhang Ruoyu never expected that her carefully designed scheme and the timing she had painstakingly chosen would fail to produce any results, even though she was on the verge of success.

She never imagined that her scheme would benefit someone else.

Zhang Ruoyu slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the glass bottle in her hand, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing.

"Why...why did this happen..."

"Could it be that I gave him the wrong apple, and the one I gave him wasn't poisoned...?"

While Zhang Ruoyu was gripped by self-doubt, inside cabin number six, the two continued...

The next morning, in cabin number six, two people, their clothes disheveled, were embracing each other in a deep sleep.

Jiang Shi had actually woken up long ago, but dared not move.

Guo Wanxing, nestled in his arms, was breathing evenly, her hair sticking to her cheeks with sweat, her sleeping face peaceful.

I was afraid of waking her up, and also afraid of facing the reality I would have to confront once she was awake.

Everything last night felt like a dream, yet it was real.

Jiang Shi, what exactly did you do? That apple is definitely problematic, it deserves to die...

Looking down at Guo Wanxing's bare shoulders, he watched her eyelashes flutter a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Guo Wanxing's gaze went from hazy to clear, and then to panic upon realizing the situation, all in just three seconds.

I tried to sit up abruptly, but the movement aggravated a sore spot, so I took a deep breath.

"Evening Star, I..."

Jiang spoke, his voice very cautious.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon a dark stain of blood, his throat tightened, and the words he had prepared beforehand were stuck in his throat.

"Let's...let's get dressed first."

Guo Wanxing didn't speak, but just lowered her head, her long hair falling down to cover her face.

His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he were crying, or as if he was trying his best to hold back something.

Jiang Shi panicked and picked up the clothes scattered on the ground.

I clumsily helped her put it on, being careful with my movements.

Guo Wanxing let him do as he pleased, raising his hand and turning around until he finished dressing.

"Evening Star?"

Jiang Shi squatted down in front of her, looking at her face.

"Evening Star, look at me."

Guo Wanxing slowly raised her head.

Tears welled in her eyes, but she bit her lip to keep them from falling.

"Jiang Shi,"

"Now that you have me, does that mean you won't want me anymore?"

Jiang Shi's mind went blank.

"No, no! Evening Star."

Jiang Shi held her hands.

"But, but..."

Tears fell as she spoke.

"But we're in this ambiguous situation... I... I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, Wanxing, we're not afraid..."

Jiang Shi reached out and wiped away his tears, looking at her with tender affection.

Guo Wanxing didn't speak, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Making vows is useless; I don't even believe them myself, but I will prove it with my future actions."

"Wanxing, I, Jiang Shi, have made up my mind about you."

The person in his arms stiffened for a moment, then gradually relaxed.

Guo Wanxing buried her face in his shoulder and said in a muffled voice:

"Jiang Shi, will you think I'm frivolous because of this, or...?"

"No, you're adorable!"

Without saying a word, Guo Wanxing grabbed his arm and bit down.

"hiss……"

Jiang Shi frowned but didn't dodge, letting her bite until she let go.

Two rows of clear teeth marks remained on his forearm, turning red.

"Why didn't you dodge?" Guo Wanxing asked, her voice nasal.

"No reason."

"Bite me if you want, hit me if you want. Just don't cry, and don't say things like 'I don't want you' again."

Guo Wanxing stared at him for a few seconds, noticing the row of teeth marks, and then smiled.

"How stupid."

"hey-hey."

Seeing Guo Wanxing smile, Jiang Shi scratched his head, feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart, and smiled along with her.

The atmosphere eased a bit.

Guo Wanxing leaned on Jiang Shi's shoulder, fragments of memories from last night flooding back...

"Jiang Shi,"

"That apple has a problem. Where is it from?"

She didn't believe Jiang would deliberately drug her and force himself on her, which only meant the apple wasn't his.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Zhang Ruoyu gave it to me last night."

Then, he recounted how Zhang Ruoyu had visited the previous night and brought him apples.

After listening, Guo Wanxing remained silent for a long time.

I don't know whether to be happy or angry.

Fortunately, it was her last night, not the malicious Zhang Ruoyu. Otherwise, she didn't dare to imagine what Jiang Shi would have done, or what she herself would have done.

It must feel terrible to have your loved one taken away by someone else.

What's infuriating is that the first time happened under someone else's scheme and under the influence of drugs.

Although she didn't regret getting to this point with Jiang Shi, the unexpected and unclear circumstances made her feel disgusted.

"us……"

"Jiang Shi, what should we do?"
