Chapter 1499: Chapter 837: Taking Turns to Torment Him_2

"So it should be me who helps the girl step out of the shadows, Crescent shouldn’t be thanking me, she should be blaming me instead."

"After all, it was my actions that frightened Crescent, I truly made a grave mistake, but I promise it won’t happen again."

Baldy said this with utter certainty.

But he also gave Crescent a way to step down gracefully.

A faint smile appeared on Crescent’s face.

"Since you’ve already put it that way, I’ll be the bigger person and let bygones be bygones."

One has to admit, Baldy is quite clever.

After all, knowing how to give someone a way out is smart, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Crescent immediately took out the medicine from her pocket.

Baldy suddenly realized and even slapped his forehead.

"So you were just putting it in your pocket when you feigned calling the police, I did not think of that at all, so I thought you couldn’t take out the antidote."

"I overreacted at that moment, I’m really sorry, I offer you my sincere apologies, even though I have already apologized."

"But I didn’t know about this at all, so I still feel like I owe you a lot, truly, I am sorry."

After saying this, Baldy felt even more remorseful.

He even dared not look directly at Crescent.

But Crescent didn’t seem to mind, even raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Really, it’s nothing, isn’t it normal to make mistakes? Normal people make mistakes, let alone you?"

"So don’t put too much pressure on yourself, and I’ve chosen to forgive you, there’s no need to apologize so many times."

"I’ll give you the antidote now, you should take it first, after all, it’s what you’ve been longing for."

If you’ve been longing for it for so long, why not take it immediately?

And yet here you are apologizing, isn’t this something Baldy wouldn’t normally do?

It’s truly quite surprising.

Just then, Baldy immediately took the medicine.

"Crescent, thank you."

Because Crescent didn’t make a big deal out of it.

So he is truly grateful.

And he thanks Crescent here.

A faint smile appeared on Crescent’s face.

But she said nothing.

She just watched as Baldy distributed the antidote to everyone.

They are now taking the antidote.

Qin Yuan watched them take it, showing no reaction on his face, waiting to hear what Crescent would say next.

After all, Crescent would definitely have to explain when the medicine would take effect.

If she didn’t explain, how could they possibly be reassured?

The explanation was necessary.

But these words had to be said by Crescent.

After all, the antidote was taken out by Crescent, Qin Yuan knew nothing about it.

Just then, Crescent slightly narrowed her eyes.

"How do you feel after taking it?"

"I don’t feel any different," said Brother Shan first.

Baldy really felt it for a moment and found no difference either, so he nodded like a bobblehead.

"Yes, yes, yes, I don’t feel any difference either."

Indeed, there was no difference at all.

Isn’t this supposed to be the antidote?

If it is the antidote, why isn’t there any difference?

What exactly is going on?

Could it be they got the wrong medicine, and this isn’t the antidote?

That shouldn’t be the case.

At that moment, Baldy couldn’t help but speak up.

"Crescent, didn’t you say you were giving us the antidote? Then why do we feel no different after taking it? Does it just take some time?"

"Or is it that this isn’t an antidote at all, but rather you’ve taken the wrong medicine? If you really did grab the wrong medicine, what should we do next?"

"It couldn’t be that you’ve accidentally picked up poison, could it? But that shouldn’t be the case either, as you claimed to have taken the antidote with great care and caution."

As this point was reached, the bald man added another sentence. "Otherwise, I’m afraid you might accidentally get your hands on some other drug."

Upon hearing these words, Crescent Moon truly showed not a hint of surprise on her face.

She seemed exceedingly calm, as if she had already anticipated they would say such things.

Therefore, she remained entirely composed.

But she would also reassure them that there’s no need for such worry.

Lately, there hasn’t been anything to fret about.

Most importantly, they still don’t fully understand the situation.

Once they have a clear understanding, they won’t say another word.

At this moment, Crescent Moon swept her calm gaze over everyone present, then slowly began to speak.

"While it is indeed an antidote, it still requires some time to work, how could it be effective immediately? This isn’t some sort of miraculous fairy elixir."

"So please, just patiently wait a while, I assure you that after some time you will return to normal."

"Now, just go about whatever you wish to do. After all, I wouldn’t allow you to remain like this indefinitely, especially when I was making this antidote."

Crescent Moon deliberately paused for a moment.

She stared at them for a brief period, her eyes becoming serious.

Then her tone grew firmer with each word.

"I never intended for the recovery to happen instantly. When I concocted this antidote, I already felt that whoever would require such a remedy must have gone too far."

"I thought about prolonging the time as a form of punishment, that’s exactly what I meant. You can choose not to believe my words."

"But time will prove everything. Once you start to feel any effect, you’ll realize that I haven’t lied to you again."

After finishing her statement, Crescent Moon immediately diverted her gaze, not uttering another word.

Silence spread among them, and they exchanged glances.

Could it really be as she says?

If it’s truly so, then it will indeed take some time to recover their strength.

They genuinely feel exhausted now; why are there no exceptions?

At this thought, they unanimously sighed deeply.

Crescent Moon noticed this gesture, but her face remained expressionless, seemingly still tranquil.

"You don’t need to feel discouraged. I know you want to regain your strength immediately, but the antidote has been taken."

"Recovery will be swift, there’s no need to be so impatient. Well, that’s about all I have to say."

"If you continue to be downcast, there’s nothing I can do about it. After all, I’ve already given you the antidote you needed."

The antidote was indeed given to them.

If they’re downcast, whose fault could that be?

No one’s to blame.

Just then, Qin Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes.

"If that’s the case, let’s play chess first. This way, we can kill some time and not feel so bored."

He definitely intended to continue speaking in that vein, as it was clear that they were feeling somewhat frustrated.

Since they were a bit frustrated, he had to tell them so.

To prevent them from looking so gloomy.

At this point, Ling Yu’s face revealed a faint smile, and his tone was very even.

"Since we’ve already taken the antidote, there’s no point in minding when we’ll recover. If we haven’t recovered yet, we might as well play chess here."

"This way, we can also pass the time. We can’t just sit here doing nothing all the time, that would be quite boring."

"If you want to play chess, then don’t wait behind me. We’ll take turns, the main thing is to play in rotation."

Having said this, Ling Yu’s face showed a touch of seriousness.

He glanced over at Qin Yuan.

He looked sincerely earnest.

After a while, Qin Yuan spoke with a smile.

"It seems like you really want to wear me out, insisting on playing chess with me one by one. Isn’t this deliberately trying to exhaust me?"

"You lads have quite the scheme going. I can hear the clack of your calculators; isn’t this just tormenting me on purpose?"

"To accompany you all playing chess in turns, it’s clear it’s going to be physically taxing for me."
