Chapter 2567 Too Deliberate
Zhou Si naturally asked about the specifics of what happened last night, "Why did you faint there out of nowhere?"
He asked Marcy to tell him everything.
Seeing his face full of worry, Marcy felt warm in her heart, and without hesitation, she told him the whole story.
From the moment the power went out, to the sudden disappearance of the cell phone signal, to her anxious search for the phone, and then accidentally knocking over the medicine bottle, she recreated the entire process one by one.
After listening to Ma Xi's narration, Zhou Si's eyes became more and more serious.
He thought about every detail carefully and felt that it was all too deliberate.
You know, although the laboratory building is old, the circuits have not had any problems for many years.
Normally, the school will also arrange people to conduct inspections and repairs.
However, in recent times, the circuits have been malfunctioning frequently, which is really strange.
He couldn't help but have a doubt in his mind.
Was this all planned by senior Yas from the beginning?
But, what is his purpose in doing this?
Zhou Si fell into deep thought.
Could it be that... he really only wants Shi Yang?
When he thought of this possibility, his eyes darkened.
He actually hoped that the other party was seeking benefits, and that the person was his, so no one could snatch her from him.
At this moment, Marcy suddenly asked: "Oh! By the way, how is the senior?"
Zhou Si came back to his senses, looked at her and replied, "I just received news that he is in the hospital and has woken up.
Also, Brother Lu has checked it for you, and the medicine should be harmless."
Marcy felt a little comforted, as long as it was harmless.
But then she asked again: "How did you find me last night?"
There is no cell phone signal, he must be very anxious, right?
Zhou Si briefly recounted what happened last night.
After hearing this, Marcy frowned.
She was not stupid, so she naturally noticed the strangeness of the matter.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Before she had time to think deeply, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Charlene calling.
On the other end of the line, Charlene's voice rang out, asking in confusion, "I heard that you and Senior Yas were trapped in the research room, alone together all night. What's going on?"
Marcy was full of questions. What the hell did spending a night together mean?
She quickly asked, "Where did this rumor come from?"
Xia Lin shook her head and immediately replied, "I'm not sure either. When I woke up this morning, the news was already spreading around the school.
It is said that there was a sudden malfunction in the medical laboratory last night, causing the door to be unable to open normally, and as a result, the two of you were trapped inside for the entire night.
What's even more outrageous is that some people claim to have seen with their own eyes the two of you sleeping together.
And that door wasn't forcibly broken open until this morning by someone outside."
Hearing this, Marcy's face instantly turned gloomy, and she said angrily: "What a mess, it's ridiculous."
Zhou Si also heard this incredible rumor. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
Not many people showed up in the lab last night. Apart from the three of them, there were only the security guard and Li Xin.
But he believed that the two of them would not tell anyone about it.
It is obvious that someone is spreading rumors maliciously.
Marcy was completely baffled. Why would anyone listen to such an outrageous rumor?
She told Xia Lin, "Don't worry about it. Zhou Si will take care of it."
After hearing this, although Charlene was a little worried, she still responded with "OK".
Then she asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Marcy said truthfully, "It's nothing serious, don't worry."
After hearing Marcy's affirmative answer, Charlene felt relieved and hung up the phone.
After putting away her phone, Ma Xi turned her gaze to Zhou Si, her eyes full of grievance and confusion.
She murmured to herself: “I fainted after smelling the medicine last night, how come we slept together.
How could those people confuse right and wrong? "
Seeing this, Zhou Si hugged her tenderly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it for you."
Marcy nodded and replied, "Okay."
Then, as if she had thought of something, she sat up straight and said, "No, I want to go with you. I want to go to school too."
She was going to debunk this rumor.
Zhou Si was worried about her injuries. "But you still have injuries on your hands. I'll take care of them. You can rest for a while."
Marcy insisted, "This little injury is nothing serious. Just let me go with you!"
Zhou Si had no choice but to obey her.
When the two were about to leave, they met Lu Yanjue coming in.
Lu Yanjue asked about her condition, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, and my head isn't dizzy anymore."
Ma Xi thanked him and said, "Brother Yan Jue, thank you for treating me last night."
Lu Yanjue didn't take it seriously and only reminded her, "In school, be more careful and be more cautious with the people around you.
The human heart is unpredictable, you know?"
Marcy nodded seriously, taking his words to heart.
"I will."
After hearing her answer, Lu Yanjue let her go.
……
The two returned to school together. Shortly after entering the campus, they received an urgent call from the teacher, asking them to go to the office immediately.
When they entered the office, they found the principal there.
After seeing the person, Zhou Si came forward and explained what happened last night.
Marcy also followed up with a clarification, explaining: “I was trapped last night because the door malfunctioned and couldn’t be opened.
The reason they fainted was because of the drugs, not because of a nap as rumored.
In order to further prove that what he said was true, Zhou Si also provided other witnesses who were present at the time, Baoan and Li Xin, striving to restore the truth.
Then the principal asked his assistant to call the two people over.
The security guard and Li Xin both testified.
They all said that when they entered the scene, they did see two people lying in different places with obvious scars on their bodies and had completely lost consciousness.
The situation is not as exaggerated as the rumors outside describe.
After hearing these testimonies, the principal finally breathed a sigh of relief. "If that's the case, we'll clarify this matter publicly."
Changing the subject, the principal brought up another issue, "However, regarding the destruction of laboratory items last night..."
Before the principal could finish, Zhou Si decisively interrupted and said, "Don't worry, principal, I will compensate for the losses. Professor Zhang is also aware of this."
When the principal heard this, he naturally had no objection. Besides, Zhou Si had previously donated a building to the school and also upgraded the forum system for free.
These contributions are not small, so we should give them some face.
At this time, Senior Yas arrived in a hurry.
Seeing him come in, Zhou Si's eyes instantly turned cold, with a hint of fierce hostility in his eyes.
