Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 437 - 285 A performance of one bottle per month~_2

Shen Zhixi’s expression had always been composed, but upon seeing Xia Ye, he unconsciously revealed a faint smile.

"Miss Xia," Shen Zhixi nodded to her with gentlemanly grace as he greeted her.

Xia Ye responded with a slight lift of her chin.

Shen Zhixi was very clear.

She had returned.

Back to this body.

This body was no longer an empty shell...

Watching her brother speak with Xia Ye, witnessing his demeanor and expressions, Shen Zhiqiao couldn’t quite understand whether her brother disliked Xia Ye, or...

If it were true that her brother disliked Xia Ye, the look he had when gazing at Xia Ye now betrayed no hint of hatred or disgust, and even held a... somewhat indescribable feeling.

He had never exhibited such an attitude when speaking with her.

But if it were to be said that her brother didn’t dislike Xia Ye, why then had he warned her so incontrovertibly that day that she must never lose to Xia Ye?

Feeling somewhat agitated, Shen Zhiqiao lifted her eyes and said, "Academician Li, please proceed as soon as possible."

Academician Li nodded, his smile revealing his confidence.

Each team was given a lab rat to be examined by their own researchers.

The main purpose of the academicians was to teach; the competition was secondary, so they didn’t fuss much and let each team’s researchers perform the examination.

After all, although the researchers certainly hoped for their respective groups to win, they wouldn’t resort to foul play.

The laboratory was equipped with all kinds of facilities.

Laboratory reagents and test strips were all available.

During the examination by the researchers, the room fell into quiet.

The atmosphere tensed up instantly.

Especially so for the researchers in Xia Ye’s group.

After about an hour and a half, the inspection of drug residues in the lab rats was all completed.

Academician Li, unable to contain himself, went to check his own team’s results first, his smile beaming. He then looked at the results from Academician Fu’s group, and the next second, his smile slightly contracted.

Understanding his expression, Academician Fu chuckled and said, "Since Academician Li has already seen the results, let him announce them..."

Academician Li glanced at both sides, still with the demeanor of an educator, and said fairly, "Drug residue levels in both lab rats are below 5%, and the basic functions of the central nervous system have been maintained. We can conclude that the lab rats treated by both prospective students have been successfully cured. Well done."

The results were announced, and the lab fell silent again.

Both were cured?

Wasn’t that a tie?

Shen Zhiqiao’s lab rat had always been lively, so its complete recovery was somewhat expected.

What nobody anticipated was...

That Xia Ye’s plump and slow lab rat, relying on a mysterious green paste and acupuncture, had also achieved a complete cure?

"Yeye, you’re amazing!" Ji Xiaomin was the first to react, elated. She had thought Xia Ye’s lab rat was not as lively as Shen Zhiqiao’s, and wondered if it was still unwell. But it turned out the results were just as good.

None of the team members could help but admire them.

This year’s prospective students were truly impressive; being able to cure lab rats injected with such dosages of medication was something even they might not be able to do.

"Beijing University’s Department of Biomedical Sciences is indeed full of talent."

"I heard Sister Shen started studying Western medicine in junior high. It seems her reputation is well deserved."

"Sister Xia is amazing, too. Acupuncture combined with her own herbal concoctions can actually achieve the same effect as Western medicine."

Listening to the praises from her seniors, Shen Zhiqiao couldn’t feel happy at all.

The same effect?

What a joke?

Her eyes drifted to her brother in the wheelchair, whose expression wasn’t good...

She wanted to beat Xia Ye, not end up in a tie!

The medications she used were hard to come by in the country; how could they have the same effect as Xia Ye’s folk remedies?

With a tinge of regret, Academician Li said, "Since this is the case, I now declare that the outcome of our friendly competition between the two groups is a draw..."

Before he could finish, Shen Zhiqiao interrupted, "I don’t accept this result. I think the standard for judging victory or defeat should not be limited to the results of drug residue levels, but should also consider their mental state. My lab rat is obviously more lively and has a better appetite, so, I should be the winner!"

Academician Li was reminded by her words and obviously agreed with Shen Zhiqiao.

Ji Xiaomin and the others wanted to speak up for Xia Ye, but didn’t know how to begin.

In the end, it was Xia Ye who curled her lips and said slowly, "I strongly agree with her view, and I do not accept a tie either, because the winner should be me."

"What?" Shen Zhiqiao showed a scornful expression, "You think you won? Then tell us, where exactly did you win?"
