Chapter 3 Best Friend
“Pfft, hahaha, this psychologist is too funny!”
“When I tell you the reason, you’ll be depressed! Hahahahaha, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard today!”
“Was this psychologist a comedian before this? He’s too funny!”
“Even if it’s a scripted joke, I’ll take it. This show is great!”
The netizens in the livestream could no longer hold it in and instantly burst into laughter.
Unfazed by the comments, Chen Yu said unhurriedly, “Bring the cup beside you over.”
Zhou Kexin had a puzzled expression on her face. However, she followed Chen Yu’s instructions and took her cup from the side.
“This?”
“This is a cup of cold medicine that my best friend specially prepared for me before the livestream because she was afraid I wouldn’t be able to stay up.”
Zhou Kexin was excited at the mention of her best friend.
“Let me tell you about my best friend!”
Her face lit up, and she changed into a proud tone.
“I’ve been sick recently, and she cared for me well!”
“Luckily, she’s here for me. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
“I’ve been in a daze for the past two days as if I’ve lost my soul; always uncomfortable. Chat, remember to take good care of your bodies.”
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to show concern for her fickle netizens.
“She served me tea and always refilled my cup. She even made me meals while helping me with my livestream when she’s free!”
“This isn’t something any best friend would do!”
When the netizens heard this, they were also envious.
“Ugh, my best friend is totally different! She’s always putting on a show, hoping to get rich by having a wealthy man support her.”
“Sob, sob, sob, quickly, put your best friend in my car. I want all you have!”
“Don’t stop me, chat. I’m going to snatch Miss Zhou’s best friend back now!”
Chen Yu chuckled and didn’t comment on Zhou Kexin’s words.
“It does sound like you both have an excellent relationship.”
After Zhou Kexin heard that, she nodded her head furiously.
“That’s for sure!”
She didn’t understand Chen Yu’s implied meaning in the slightest.
Chen Yu sighed deeply.
“Sigh. What a deep, false friendship you have.”
Zhou Kexin looked at Chen Yu on her screen with a dumbfounded expression.
Chat was also filled with question marks.
“During the start of your symptoms, did you ever get excited over the slightest thing?” Chen Yu asked calmly. “Would you get agitated easily and hit by a headache, chest tightness, and shortness of breath after that?”
“Hmm? How did you know?”
Zhou Kexin was shocked by his question.
Damn, this doctor was really amazing.
He described her symptoms exactly as she had them.
Could he be a god among men?
“Empty the cold medicine in the cup, leaving only the last bit.”
Zhou Kexin obediently did as she was told.
Chen Yu continued his questions when she finished pouring out the cold medicine.
“Is there some powder at the bottom of the cup?”
“These are. These are traditional medicine granules, and it’s common to have some left at the bottom if they haven’t completely melted. Perhaps An An was too busy to stir it properly.”
Chen Yu snorted coldly after hearing this.
“Are you sure? Take a closer look for yourself.”
Zhou Kexin widened her eyes and looked at the bottom of the cup. It was only then that she realized that something was wrong.
Normal traditional medicine should be brown in color.
However, there was a trace of fine white powder at the bottom of her cup.
It was just a little, and someone with poor eyesight wouldn’t be able to notice this tiny detail!
Zhou Kexin’s entire body instantly went cold. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
“What… what the hell is this!”
Her voice trembled.
Chen Yu had expected Zhou Kexin’s reaction.
He spoke calmly, “This medicine is used to treat mental illnesses. Its scientific name is called amphetamine. Using excessively will cause nervousness, dizziness, headaches, and other discomforts. Long-term use would also cause liver and kidney failure.”
“The former is the symptom you are facing now.”
“Not only that, but this thing is also addictive!”
Zhou Kexin’s whole body trembled, and her face turned pale.
Only then did she realize this was the reason she found it harder and harder to get out of bed for her livestreams.
She was dizzy all day and always depressed, and it was because she had been drugged!
When the netizens saw this, they became excited.
They didn’t expect that joining today’s livestream would allow them to witness history!
How exciting!
Zhou Kexin asked with a trembling voice, “Dr… Dr. Chen, why is there such a thing in my cup?”
“You have to ask yourself this. How did the cold medicine come about?”
Zhou Kexin paused for a moment before she understood his question.
An An, her best friend, had been caring for her during this time.
An An was concerned that she would be tired during her livestream, so she thoughtfully prepared coffee for her every day.
In the end, her situation only worsened.
Wasn’t the answer obvious?
Zhou Kexin just couldn’t understand why An An would do this.
Could it be that she wanted to take over her fans after she quit?
Thinking of this, Zhou Kexin’s heart ached.
Zhou Kexin introduced many opportunities to An An and always took good care of her.
She never expected her to do such a thing.
“Why would she do that? I’ve already treated her well enough.”
Zhou Kexin’s tone lowered as she asked.
“She’s in the room next door. Should I confront her?”
Chen Yu’s face fell as he realized that Zhou Kexin was still unaware of her situation.
“You’ve already been drugged. Why don’t you call the police first? Are you planning to wait until next year?”
It was only then that Zhou Kexin came to a realization.
“Oh, right! I have to call the police!”
She couldn’t help but panic after finally realizing the situation she was in.
She frantically searched for her phone on the table.
The netizens watching the livestream were shocked!
“Whoa! Am I witnessing history?”
“Does such a plot really exist in real life?”
“Maybe it’s another script? They could be acting to deceive us.”
“It doesn’t feel like it. If it were scripted, they probably wouldn’t dare to call the police!”
“Oh my god, I feel a chill running down my spine when I hear that.”
The speed at which the chat was going was so quick that it was hard to read what was being commented accurately.
A famous, beautiful gaming streamer was drugged. This was big news!
She would definitely be trending on Weibo!
Just as everyone enjoyed the show, someone barged into the livestream.
“Kexin, wait!”
The person wore a snug-fitting gown that revealed her sexy figure. Her curvy figure would make anyone look at her drool, and her pure and delicate face starkly contrasted her body.
The woman was frowning and staring at Zhou Kexin’s phone.
It was Zhou Kexin’s “best friend”, An An.
When she saw this through the livestream, she panicked and ran over from the next room.
If a police report were made, she would be finished.
She grabbed Zhou Kexin’s hand.
“You can’t call the police. It’s not good for both of us if this matter gets blown up!”
“No matter what, let’s settle this privately, okay?”
Her tone was slightly pleading, and her tearful eyes looked pitiful.
Zhou Kexin never expected her closest friend to stab her in the back.
The images that flashed before her eyes were of their beautiful friendship.
“Please, Kexin, don’t call the police!”
An An fell to her knees with a thud.
His knee made a muffled sound as it came into close contact with the wooden floor.
“You…”
Zhou Kexin stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
