Lai Jiayi felt like giving up, but she knew once she got eliminated, her father would be in danger.
The girl gritted her teeth and spoke to Yaya in her mind,
[Can you find aphrodisiac in the game shop? If we have it, I'll buy it with points.]
[Ah? Let me see, quack.] Yaya brought the jelly upstairs while Zhao Yun climbed the stairs. The duck then closed his eyes for a second.
'Aphrodisiac…'
He searched the item name in the game shop, and various results popped out.
Fast-acting oral aphrodisiac
Slow-acting oral aphrodisiac
Fast-acting aphrodisiac gas
Slow-acting aphrodisiac gas
These four were on the recommended block.
Yaya immediately told Lai Jiayi, [We have a lot of aphrodisiacs types, quack, which one you want to buy? the oral or gas type, quack?]
Oral means the person needed to eat that aphrodisiac, so the drug had to be mixed with drinks or food. While gas was just like its name, it worked like incense, perfume, and such.
Lai Jiayi stayed silent for a few seconds before she answered, [Let's buy the gas one. It's easier to use that, right?]
'If it's in the form of a gas, Zhao Yang might not realize it.
[Okay, quack. Now fast-acting or slow-acting, quack?] Yaya asked again. He and his group were already halfway toward the room.
[Slow-acting, so that Zhao Yang will not have any symptoms when he's still here. That still counts as drugging him, though, right?]
Lai Jiayi slowly opened her left eye and peeked at the man she mentioned earlier. The guy was calmly doing his job, but upon seeing him, Lai Jiayi felt immense guilt in her heart.
'I'm sorry. Even though you are so kind to me...I have to do this to you!'
The girl secretly inhaled and spoke again to Yaya, [Is there any small-range aphrodisiac gas? I don't want it to affect Zhao Yun since he will also be near Zhao Yang.]
[There is, quack, and it's cheaper than the wide-range. You wanna buy that, quack?] Right after Yaya spoke, the duck and Zhao Yun already arrived at Lai Jiayi's room.
Zhao Yun's voice immediately sounded.
"Uncle, I'm back." The boy waved his hand as he dashed to Zhao Yang's place. Even though the boy was running, he didn't create even a single noise. It seemed that his martial arts training came into use.
"Where did you go? You're gone for a long time." Zhao Yang closed his hologram panel and stood up. The chair creaked again as the man walked toward Zhao Yun.
"Why didn't you tell me where to go before you leave, hm?" Zhao Yang glared at Zhao Yun and pinched the boy's cheek.
Zhao Yun instantly wailed.
"Waah hurts, hurts! I– I went to make jelly for miss witch, ah! I didn't go anywhere." Zhao Yun slapped Zhao Yang's hand from his cheek and pouted.
"Oh, jelly?" Zhao Yang tilted his head. The guy glanced at Yaya, who was bringing a plate of orange-colored jelly to the bed.
[We got the aphrodisiac, quack.] Yaya spoke as he placed the jelly on the chair Zhao Yang used before. The duck then gently poked Lai Jiayi's cheek so she would 'wake up'.
[Good. Hold it for me for a moment.] Lai Jiayi slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Yaya.
"...Yaya?" The girl called out to the duck in a hoarse voice. Her eyes were red since she cried, yet it didn't look as hazy as before. Somehow, her face was also not that red anymore.
It looked like the medicine finally worked. Plus, the ice pack actually helped a lot.
[Jia, what do we do now?] Yaya didn't say anything outside and just used telepathy. The duck pretended to check Lai Jiayi's body temperature when he was actually talking with her.
[I'll distract Zhao Yun. You go and spread the gas around Zhao Yang. Just a small amount is enough. As long as he inhales the gas.]
[Okay, quack. Should I get Zhao Yun to come over, quack? He can feed you while I drug Zhao Yang, quack.]
[Do that.] Lai Jiayi subconsciously nodded.
'If things go smoothly, we can do this penalty before these people go home!'
"Here, quack, Zhao Yun makes jelly for you, " Yaya suddenly spoke in a loud voice in purpose so that Zhao Yun would hear it.
As expected, when Zhao Yun heard Yaya's words, he immediately went to Lai Jiayi's place to look at the girl.
"Miss! You finally wake up. Here, eat something sweet first." Zhao Yun snatched the jelly from Yaya's hand and stood right beside Lai Jiayi's bed.
The boy smiled sweetly, waiting for Lai Jiayi to get up.
'Good. Just like this.'
Lai Jiayi glanced at Yaya and nodded. The duck then floated away from her place while Lai Jiayi slowly got up. Because she got up, the ice pack on her head suddenly slipped down and fell to the girl's lap, on top of the blanket.
!
"....ice..pack?" Lai Jiayi pretended not to know about the ice pack. The girl used this chance to look at Zhao Yang to ensure Yaya was already there.
"Ah, who brings you the ice pack, miss?" Zhao Yun curiously asked while Yaya stopped near Zhao Yang's back. The duck gulped as he prepared to release the aphrodisiac gas.
