Chapter 60: Luo Qianyun! Are You Doing This on Purpose?
Pei Xianxian arrived at the hospital’s IV room set up specifically for patients suffering from mushroom poisoning. At first glance, she was taken aback—there were a lot of people.
However, she didn’t forget her purpose: to find Luo Qianyun and make her lose face again.
Using the guise of offering comfort, she carried water to the patients receiving IV treatment. Most of them, however, were lost in hallucinations.
This made it exhausting for Pei Xianxian, as many responded with completely unrelated answers.
Fortunately, she soon heard Luo Qianyun’s voice coming from a smaller IV room nearby.
“Even a pig should strive to be a useful one. Use that little piggy brain of yours and think carefully!” Luo Qianyun’s firm voice rang out, followed by a child’s sobbing.
Pei Xianxian suppressed a laugh and deliberately spoke to the camera, “How can anyone talk to a child like that? Kids are fragile; now this one is crying.”
With that, she headed toward the source of the sound, cameraman in tow.
“You know, even among a bunch of little piggies, one glance tells me you’re the most attractive of the lot. With such a cute face, like a Romeo among pigs, imagine how much more popular you’d be if your grades were excellent!” Luo Qianyun said earnestly, pinching the face of the short-haired girl in front of her and patting her shoulder with equal seriousness.
The girl frowned, holding back her frustration. “Big sister, I’m a girl. Why would I attract ‘little pig sisters’?”
“You’re a girl?” Luo Qianyun pinched her face again, confused. The child looked so pig-like she couldn’t tell the gender. “No worries. In that case, you’re the Juliet of pigs, destined to charm all the little pig brothers!”
The girl sighed. “Big sister, can you just help me with this math problem?”
Standing at the entrance, Pei Xianxian stared in stunned silence at this bizarre scene.
Luo Qianyun was tutoring children on math problems. Beside her, Lu Yunzhen was holding an IV bag, while a small boy sat nearby on the floor, crying.
Pei Xianxian, not wanting to ignore the sobbing child, went over and tried to console him in a gentle voice.
However, her voice was so soft that the boy didn’t even notice her.
Frustrated, she raised her volume. “Don’t cry anymore…”
This time, everyone in the IV room turned to look at her.
The boy stopped crying but looked at Pei Xianxian with an expression of distrust. “Who are you? I don’t know you. Mommy said there are kidnappers!”
Pei Xianxian was momentarily embarrassed. “I just wanted to talk to him for a bit. I’m not a kidnapper! I’m filming a show; the cameraman’s right here. You can trust me.”
“How do we know the cameraman isn’t part of a scheme? What if this is some new trick kidnappers use?” someone questioned.
Everyone now watched Pei Xianxian like hawks. If she dared to take the child away, they wouldn’t hesitate to intervene.
Meanwhile, Luo Qianyun, oblivious to Pei Xianxian’s predicament, was busy proudly watching her “little piggies” sitting in neat rows and doing homework.
Well, not all were “little white pigs.” There was a black one and a coffee-colored one too.
Regardless, these piglets were diligent and eager to learn, and Luo Qianyun was thrilled to teach them.
Lu Yunzhen tried to get Luo Qianyun to rest, but for some reason, she was unusually energetic and wouldn’t stop moving around.
When Luo Qianyun accidentally noticed Pei Xianxian in the corner, she exclaimed, “Lu Yunzhen, doesn’t that big white chicken look familiar? Isn’t that the one we saw at the restaurant earlier?”
Lu Yunzhen glanced at Pei Xianxian and nodded. “It is.”
“I knew it! I’ve got a good eye for these things. That big white chicken is so plain-looking I recognized it instantly!” Luo Qianyun said smugly.
“Big white chicken” and “plain-looking” struck a nerve with Pei Xianxian. Unable to keep her composure, she snapped, “Luo Qianyun! Are you doing this on purpose?”
Seeing the “Big White Chicken” subtitle floating above Pei Xianxian’s head, Luo Qianyun paused for a moment and then asked, “How does this big white chicken know my name?”
Lu Yunzhen pointed at the IV bag. “It’s written there.”
Realization dawned on Luo Qianyun. She then looked at the “big white chicken.” “You’ve got sharp eyes to read it from so far away.”
The livestream abruptly ended, leaving viewers groaning in disappointment. They wanted to see more but had to settle for fan-recorded streams.
Back in the room, Pei Xianxian, after seeing the stream shut down, dropped all pretense. “Luo Qianyun, how stupid can you be to believe something like that?”
“Are chickens… really that smart?” Luo Qianyun asked Lu Yunzhen, genuinely curious.
“She doesn’t represent chicken intelligence. That’s an insult to chickens,” Lu Yunzhen replied calmly.
Pei Xianxian was livid, but before she could respond, Luo Qianyun yawned. “Why do I feel so sleepy…”
Hearing this, Lu Yunzhen didn’t give Pei Xianxian a chance to speak further. He promptly escorted Luo Qianyun back to her seat to rest.
As they left, Luo Qianyun waved at the “little piggies.” “If you have questions, come find big sister, okay? Don’t go to that big white chicken—she’s really dumb.”
Once back at her seat, Luo Qianyun’s earlier energy drained away. She was so lethargic that even drinking water required Lu Yunzhen to help her.
A new “neighbor” soon appeared—a green-skinned “frog.”
When Luo Qianyun saw him, she instinctively scooted closer to Lu Yunzhen, muttering, “Frogs are so ugly.”
The man, confused, held up his phone for a livestream. “The viewers love you. Want to say hi?”
Luo Qianyun buried her face in Lu Yunzhen’s chest. “Frog too ugly.”
Realizing she was still hallucinating, Lu Yunzhen explained, “She’s still experiencing hallucinations from the poisoning. She thinks you’re a frog.”
The “frog man” sighed in understanding. But as he aimed his camera at Lu Yunzhen and Luo Qianyun, the stream shut down within seconds.
A warning message popped up: people in the shot must be blurred.
In disbelief, he tried again. Without blurring Lu Yunzhen, the stream was blocked in under ten seconds.
As Luo Qianyun finally recovered, she realized her mushroom poisoning had caused all the chaos.
