《I Attacked Because I was Afraid of Death》IABIWAOD-CHAPTER 27.1
Advertisement
Chi Xin watched the group come in, just how it had happened in the movie. The bottle of medicine in her hand was in pieces and there were both witnesses and evidence. She didn't need to try to act discreetly like the original Chi Xin and she wasn't planning on begging for forgiveness, but Jing Xiubai who had worked hard, and Jiang Congyun who was waiting for the drug deserved an apology.
"Chi Xin?" Jing Xiubai called her name softly as he took a cautious step into his room. He didn't ask why she had the broken medicine in her hand like she had imagined but acted carefully as if he was afraid to scare her.
"What happened?" He asked, "Did anyone come in?"
Chi Xin realized their reaction was strange. She blinked before looking at the group and noticed that next to Jing Xiubai and Yu Xiang, Jiang Congyun was standing. Her face was still a little pale but she seemed okay. Behind her, more people from the base had joined in what should be a celebration. And all of these people were staring at Chi Xin in surprise.
"Jiang Congyun?" Chi Xin looked at her hand again and relief spread over her. With a hint of joy in her voice, she asked: "Are you alright?"
"Chi Xin, I'm okay." Jiang Congyun answered gently, "Xiubai gave me medicine and I am cured."
Chi Xin had a hard time reacting and once again glanced at her hand.
"That was a failure." Yu Xiang said, "but that bottle is made of special glass and you can still crush it with bare hands."
No one seemed to blame her. They were surprised to see her but no one was thinking she had malicious intentions.

Yu Xiang added: "Good, you're here. We want to hold a small party to celebrate Congyun's recovery!"
Chi Xin clenched her fist.
This was not right.
With the help of the system, she had broken the heroine's medicine and followed the plot. But apart from this, everything else was different. She raised her head and scanned all the people who had come in one by one.
In addition to the three protagonists, there were three men and two women. They all knew each other from the base and had a good relationship.
The two women and two of the men looked as usual. They were secretly taking peaks at Chi Xin and all lowered their heads with obvious blushes on their faces after meeting her gaze.
But Chi Xin ignored them and her eyes stopped on the last boy.
He was thin and slightly noticeable. Chi Xin didn't remember seeing him in the movie. However, when she stared at him, he showed a rather uneasy expression; his body was stiff and his eyes were looking from left to right. Thanks to her advanced eyesight, she could also see cold sweat damping his forehead.
As soon as their eyes met, the young man unconsciously took a step back. Chi Xin's gaze was cold and seemed to be able to see straight into his soul.
At this time, the others also realized something was wrong.
"Zhang Zhi?" The smile on Yu Xiang's face had disappeared. He looked at the boy and back at Chi Xin, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Zhang Zhi averted his gaze and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. He silently turned away and said: "I just remembered I had something to do. You guys celebrate, I will join you later."
And before anyone could reply, he dashed away.

Chi Xin pounced like a leopard and aimed for him as cold air spread into the room; a thick wall of ice appeared at the door even faster and blocked the only exit.
Zhang Zhi was stuck between the wall and the other people in the room. He staggered back a few steps and, unable to control the strength of his legs, he fell to the ground with a face even paler than Jiang Congyun's.
Chi Xin's accumulated power gradually disappeared and she watched the boy on the floor with cold eyes.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Conyun walked up to Chi Xin and looked at her unprecedented cold face with worry, "What did he do to make you so angry?"
Chi Xin stopped staring at Zhang Zhi and glanced at Jiang Conyung. Everything was getting too complicated.
"I broke your bottle." She said, "Even if this was a failure, no one knew this was the case. Why aren't you angry?"
"Oh, that's it? Are you afraid I would be?"
Jiang Congyun smiled. Her eyes were gentle and she shook her head, full of trust, "You wouldn't do this."
"How can you be sure?"
"I know you wouldn't hurt me." Jiang Congyun reached for Chi Xin's hand, "If you wanted to, there have been hundreds of better opportunities in the past already. You wouldn't do something so ridiculous."
Jiang Conyun could see Chi Xin's expression was really weird and she repeated: "I trust you."
No matter how much she looked, Chi Xin couldn't see any lie in the heroine's gaze. She really trusted her and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. But before she could investigate the situation more, someone shouted.
"I didn't mean to!" Zhang Zhu shrank his head to the ground, his eyes widened with fear. "I really didn't mean it! She just said to put something in Jiang Congyun's medicine, she said it wouldn't kill you! She promised!"
Before anyone had asked anything, the truth was already out there. The people in the room all looked at each other and Jing Xiubai squatted in front of Zhang Zhi.
"Who instructed you?"
"What is he talking about?" Jiang Congyun also asked.
Zhang Zhi's eyes met hers and he crawled to her feet. He grabbed her pants and cried: "Congyun! Congyun! I really didn't want to hurt you... She said it wouldn't kill you but you would stay in a coma a bit longer and wouldn't get in the way..."
Jiang Congyun understood now. Her whole body shook and she looked back at Chi Xin in shock.
