Chapter 284 Design to Clear One's Name

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiuxiu immediately showed concern on her face. She quickly walked to Liu Tao's side and asked softly, "Liu Tao, what's wrong? Have you been working too hard lately?" After saying that, she reached out and gently touched Liu Tao's forehead.

Liu Tao shook her head slightly, trying to clear her mind, but the discomfort in her body became more and more obvious.

He tugged at his clothes and answered weakly, "I don't know, I just suddenly felt...so hot..."

Upon seeing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Qin Xiuxiu's eyes.

She moved closer to Liu Tao and said gently in a low voice, "Liu Tao, you look like you need to rest. Why don't you lie down first? Maybe it will help."

At this point, Liu Tao was no longer fully conscious and instinctively hugged Qin Xiuxiu.

Grabbing at her clothes, Qin Xiuxiu pretended to be panicked, pushing Liu Tao away while saying "No."

Although Liu Tao was in a daze, his body was reacting uncontrollably. Smelling the woman's fragrance, he ignored what she was saying and directly covered her mouth.

Qin Xiuxiu had been waiting for this moment to arrive. When the man approached, she only gently refused once, and then gave in to him.

In an instant, the two became entangled like dry tinder meeting a raging fire, their burning desires instantly ignited, and everything became uncontrollable and out of control.

The room was soon filled with the man's heavy, rapid breathing and the woman's delicate, melodious moans.

Because Qin Xiuxiu administered a large dose of the drug, the couple seemed to be caught in a long and intense vortex of love, and time flew by unnoticed.

And so the two continued until the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and the female educated youth who shared a room with Qin Xiuxiu slowly opened her eyes.

She habitually looked to her side, only to be surprised to find that Qin Xiuxiu, who should have been lying there, was not there.

Qin Xiuxiu had never gotten up earlier than her before, and a feeling of worry immediately welled up in her heart. The female educated youth hurriedly got up and began to search for Qin Xiuxiu's whereabouts.

She first walked around the courtyard, and then asked other educated youths if they had seen Qin Xiuxiu, but all of them gave negative answers.

After searching in vain, the female educated youth's gaze finally fell on the door of Liu Tao's room.

Clinging to a sliver of hope, she quickly stepped forward, gently knocked on the door, and asked, "Liu Tao, are you in there? Did Xiuxiu come looking for you last night?"

The room was quiet, and there was no response.

The female educated youth frowned slightly, her anxiety growing stronger. She knocked on the door several more times, but there was no response from inside.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath, reached out and pushed the door open. She carefully stepped into the room.

But the moment she stepped through the door, the scene before her eyes left the female educated youth speechless—Qin Xiuxiu and Liu Tao were naked, embracing each other tightly, immersed in a sweet dream, with satisfied smiles on their lips.

The scene she witnessed left the female educated youth speechless with shock, and she let out a piercing scream: "Ah!" Her face turned bright red, and she hurriedly turned and fled the room.

Her sharp, piercing scream suddenly woke Liu Tao and Qin Xiuxiu from their sweet dreams.

Liu Tao slowly opened his eyes, still half asleep, and his gaze instinctively fell on Qin Xiuxiu in his arms. In an instant, he froze as if struck by lightning, his face full of astonishment and confusion: "Comrade Qin, you... how did you end up here?"

Qin Xiuxiu feigned a look of extreme fear and helplessness, lowering her head and stammering in a voice barely audible, "Comrade Liu, last night... last night... last night we..." She stopped abruptly, as if she found it difficult to speak.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao's face turned deathly pale, and he sat bolt upright as if electrocuted. His mind went completely blank, filled with countless questions: "What... what exactly is going on?"

At the same time, fragmented memories of their time together last night began to flash and intertwine in his mind, making him increasingly regretful.

"You must have deliberately framed me! Aren't you afraid I won't marry you?" Liu Tao roared at Qin Xiuxiu through gritted teeth, his anger overflowing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand at all! Last night I was the one who kept rejecting you, but you..." Qin Xiuxiu didn't dare to look Liu Tao in the eye, her eyes darting around as she stammered her rebuttal.

"Hmph! You still dare to argue even now? Your behavior is utterly disgusting!" Liu Tao was furious, veins bulging on his forehead, wishing he could immediately step forward and give this woman he loathed so much a resounding slap.

"And how much better are you? You used to fawn over me, but now that you've gotten into university, you're turning your back on me." Qin Xiuxiu was so angry that she blurted out whatever she wanted.

The heated argument between the two had already attracted a large crowd of onlookers, who gathered around, craning their necks to see what was going on.

In less than an hour, the farce spread like wildfire throughout the village, and men, women, and children alike were discussing it.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoxiao was busy at the health center and didn't go back until Dai Xingyun came to call them for dinner. It wasn't until she sat down at the table to eat that she learned the shocking news from her family.

"You two must be extremely careful in the educated youth compound. You absolutely cannot let those malicious people scheme against you!" Ma Aning hurriedly instructed the two of them with a worried expression.

"Auntie, you can rest assured! Xingyun and I are inseparable, always together, and we even live in the same room. Even if someone tries to scheme against us, they won't succeed!" Xiahou Jie said confidently, patting his broad chest.

Ma Aning, her brow still furrowed, continued with a worried expression, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Your two children have gotten into such good universities."

"There are plenty of people who don't want you to go to school, or who want to scheme to take him with them. You should always be careful."

"Also... if a little girl falls into the water near a pool, never save her, or you'll never be able to get rid of her."

Unable to bear her mother's endless nagging any longer, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, Mom, they both know exactly what you're saying!"
