The next day, those few girls dropped out of school.

I felt a bit regretful when I heard this news during a break in solving problems.

They actually just dropped out.

I played with the small bottle in my hand without a label.

I shook it, revealing a thin layer of transparent liquid inside.

Looks like I won't need it.

Consider them lucky.

Qi Jing snatched the glass bottle from my hand and asked me, "What is this?"

"Some kind of cyanide?"

He gripped my wrist tightly, "Are you crazy?!"

"Where did you get this from?"

"From the lab, I secretly saved it before. Also, I'm not crazy, I'm perfectly fine."

He gritted his teeth, "Do you know what will happen if you really use it?!"

"I might not even be able to save you!"

I didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked him, "Do you know why I come from a single-parent family?"
