Chapter 1.2

Zhao Pengfei usually could resist Jiang Yao’s beauty, but after she takes the drug, she would become even more charming and seductive. With a man and a woman alone in a room, could he still remain unaffected under such passionate circumstances? She didn’t believe it.

After dinner, the male and female educated youth returned to their respective rooms. Everyone was exhausted, those who had taken a shower went straight to bed, and those who hadn’t took a quick combat shower before lying down.

When Jiang Yao returned to her room after taking a shower, everyone else was already asleep. She specifically looked at the bed in the corner and saw that Du Yuejia was already sound asleep, which made her unable to resist a victorious smirk.

Clearly, she (Jiang Yao) and Zhao Pengfei had grown up together and were inseparable childhood friends, and this meddling woman Du Yuejia was despicable.

Jiang Yao withdrew her gaze, and as she thought about being with Zhao Pengfei tonight, she put on her tight-fitting waist-cut dress hidden at the bottom of her box, and then swallowed the powder Du YueJiao had given her with cold boiled water.

She didn’t know how long it would take for the drug to take effect, but since there was some distance from the educated youth dormitory to the small house where Zhao Pengfei lived, she should almost be there by then.

She blew out the kerosene lamp and quietly slipped out the door.

At the moment the door closed, Du YueJiao, who had been ‘sleeping’ all along, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

She had seen Jiang Yao take the drug, but she was still worried and was about to get up to follow, but a movement woke up the person sleeping next to her, Du Yuejia.

“Jiao Jiao, what’s with all the tossing and turning? Are you unable to sleep?” Du Yuejia asked softly.

“No… after a long day, how could I not be able to sleep? I’m just thirsty,” Du YueJiao made up an excuse.

“Do you want me to light the kerosene lamp for you?” Du Yuejia offered.

“Sis, no need.” Du YueJiao hastily said, “I… already drank some, now I’m going to sleep, and you… should sleep too.”

After hearing this, Du Yuejia said, “Go to sleep early,” and closed her eyes without saying another word.

Du YueJiao sighed in the darkness, feeling anxious but not daring to get up again. If everyone found out that Jiang Yao was missing, tonight’s plan would be ruined.

After Jiang Yao walked out of the educated youth dormitory gate, she turned on her flashlight and ran excitedly towards Zhao Pengfei’s small house.

Whether it was due to the vigorous running or the effect of the drug, she felt increasingly hot, and Zhao Pengfei’s figure filled her entire mind, especially when he was working in the fields, wearing a white vest, revealing his thin but muscular arms.

If she could be embraced by such arms… the thought made her eager to throw herself into Zhao Pengfei’s arms at the next moment, and her running speed increased involuntarily.

Suddenly, her foot caught on something, and she fell forward uncontrollably…

***

Jiang Yao rarely drank, but her alcohol tolerance wasn’t too bad, she wasn’t the type to get drunk after just two drinks. However, after only two drinks tonight, she felt dizzy and heavy-headed.

What’s more, the air conditioning in her home was set at 25 degrees, and she was wearing cool pyjamas, but she felt extremely hot. This sensation made her very uncomfortable, and she wanted to go back to her bedroom to sleep. So she climbed up from the sofa, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she bumped into the coffee table.

There was a carpet under the coffee table, so she thought it wouldn’t hurt too much even if she fell, but when her body touched the ground, the sensation was real and painful, and it took her a while to recover.

She opened her eyes, but the bright living room had turned completely dark.

Had the power gone out?

She moved her body and suddenly felt a soreness all over when her body touched the ground. She looked down and saw that the carpet had turned into a bumpy mud pit.

She sat up abruptly, and when her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she looked around.

This was no longer her riverside apartment, but a wilderness.

What on earth had happened?

Jiang Yao’s professional composure kept her from panicking, and she forced herself to calm down and analyse her current situation.

But before she could come up with a reason, the feeling of heat in her body grew stronger and stronger.

What was even stranger was that there was a growing and crazy desire in her mind to hug a man.

Being single for 30 years, this was the first time she had such a strong and crazy desire.

Based on the previous cases she had encountered, she figured that she was probably drugged.

She remembered last month, when she left the courtroom after losing the lawsuit, the defendant pointed at her and cursed, saying she would be gang-raped by a crowd.

She didn’t know if she would be taken to a group of men, but before the other party took any action, she had to try to save herself as much as possible.

She looked around and saw a pond emitting a faint white light not far away, and an idea immediately popped into her mind.

She stumbled over and jumped in without hesitation.

The cool pond water gave her slightly relief, and just as she was about to immerse her whole body in the water, the river suddenly shook violently.

When she wondered if it was an earthquake, a man emerged from the water.

Jiang Yao was shocked, but when she saw the man’s wet clothes sticking to his muscular body, the flames in her eyes gradually overwhelmed her surprise, and her body temperature, which had slightly lowered, rose again at a rocket-like speed.

Her brain was probably fried because at this moment, she only had one thought in her mind: to pounce on him.

Since, that’s what she thought, then, that’s what she did.

“I feel so uncomfortable, please save me,” Jiang Yao knew she had lost control, so she could only send out a plea for help with the remaining shreds of her sanity.

Tonight, Lu Che just wanted to catch some fish, as tomorrow he was going to make fish soup for his grandmother. He didn’t expect to fish for half the night and not catch anything, but instead, a ‘mermaid’ came to his door.

The ‘mermaid’ kept moving and wriggling in his arms, and his usually cold eyes gradually became fiery.

At the moment she appealed for help, he raised his hand and struck towards her neck…
