Shi Mao, with two Silver Needles still inserted in him.

Listening to Chen Mu's explanation, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He agreed, "She actually found her homemade wine to be sourer than the store-bought."

"However..."

Chen Mu continued, "Where there is a Hidden Dragon, there must be a Feng Chu."

"Her roommate heard that the rice wine was a bit sour and said, 'Different people, different tastes.'"

"Different winemakers will surely produce rice wine with different flavors."

"Maybe in the future, this slightly sour rice wine will make her a master winemaker of the new generation?"

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu.

Then at Shi Mao's bitter face.

She couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance his way.

What kind of Immortal beings are hidden within Hai City University?

Ignoring the shocked stares around him.

Chen Mu calmly continued, "With the lesson learned from the first time, when her roommate suggested tasting her homemade rice wine, she hesitated..."

"She told her roommate she would drink it first."

"If she was still alive the next day after drinking it, she would then invite her roommate to taste it."

—

"???"

"I don't quite understand. With such a clear awareness of her winemaking skills, is she really determined to drink this wine?"

"If things get really bad, can't she just buy a chicken to test for poison!"

"Chickens are quite expensive; just buy a small lab mouse. Those mice are actually pretty cheap."

"We're teaching you winemaking, not poison brewing!"

"..."

—

Listening to Chen Mu's explanation.

Su Bingbing couldn't help but show a somewhat amazed expression.

She commented in awe, "This student is quite an interesting person."

Chen Mu sighed deeply, looking at Su Bingbing, "Have you forgotten that this Hidden Dragon has a Feng Chu roommate?"

Su Bingbing blinked, "Huh?"

Chen Mu: "She said that after tasting her own rice wine, she faced strong opposition from her roommate."

"The roommate said that this rice wine is not like the beer from last time."

"Firstly, this time the wine was not brewed by herself alone, but with her roommate's help."

"The chosen ingredients weren't senior's grain, but glutinous rice they picked out at the supermarket."

"All processes were completed under her roommate's watch."

While Chen Mu spoke, he reminisced about past events.

His head started aching again.

Laying on the bed, Shi just glanced at Chen Mu's expression.

He knew Chen Mu's mental state was a bit collapsed.

He smiled bitterly.

Then continued:

"Later on, her roommate stated that her exam performance was much stronger than that of the winemaking student!"

"Even if the winemaking student doesn't trust herself, she should at least trust her roommate."

"Under her roommate's supervision, this batch of wine definitely has no issues."

Chen Mu took a sip of water.

Also chimed in, "With the Immortal roommate's guarantee, she gained enormous confidence in her winemaking skills once again."

"She packed her rice wine, dragging her roommate along, saying she wanted to treat her to a feast and exquisite wine!"

Shi Mao: "By coincidence, that day happened to be month's end, when college students are usually short on cash."

"When she said this, a girl from the neighboring dorm heard her, who was one of the previous food poisoning incident's victims."

"Hearing about a free meal, she immediately suggested going together for wine appreciation."

Listening to Chen Mu and Shi Mao back and forth.

Su Bingbing basically understood the rest of the situation.

Once the neighboring dorm students offered to join the meal.

The winemaking student did hesitate for a moment.

She worried about causing another group food poisoning incident like the last time.

While they were chatting.

The dozen or so students who attended the previous beer gathering all arrived.

These people were even more confident in her than the winemaking student herself.

They all expressed firmly.

Even if they don't get treated to a feast, they must at least taste the classmate's homemade wine.

With all the flattering words.

The winemaking student waved her hand boldly, taking these "friends" to the barbecue shop at the school gate.

To share exquisite wine!

—

"Compared to the winemaker, I now admire this courageous group of wine tasters more."

"Usually living in proximity means being in the same major, right?"

"How come this group has zero insight into their classmate's skills?"

"Putting myself in the counselor's shoes, I'm already feeling discomfort. Two consecutive group food poisoning incidents sparked by the same person—parents are bound to explode!"

"Even if the school takes responsibility, this counselor must write endless checks and reports till their hands get sore!"

"What's terrifying isn't the Hidden Dragon having a Feng Chu, but a group of them..."

"..."

—

Listening up to this point.

Su Bingbing was already somewhat numb.

Looking at Chen Mu and Shi Mao, all she had left was sympathy.

Su Bingbing: "After eating barbecue, did they end up in the hospital?"

Chen Mu nodded: "Yeah, not only did they go to the hospital, they almost scared the barbecue shop owner to death..."

Su Bingbing: "Huh?"

Chen Mu: "Think about it, a barbecue shop at the school gate runs on college student business, right?"

"When a group of over ten students comes in for barbecue."

"And afterward, they all clutch their stomachs lying down."

Su Bingbing: "..."

Putting myself in the barbecue shop owner's shoes, they would already be freaking out.

Shi Mao smiled bitterly and continued.

"That afternoon, just after lunch, I was in the office browsing the school's forum for gossip."

"Then I saw someone exposing that the barbecue shop at the school gate possibly had issues with their ingredients, leading a group of students to have problems after eating."

"At the time I saw this post, I was quite angry!"

"Thinking if there was solid evidence, I'd report it to the school leaders, let the school's legal department and the barbecue shop have a good talk, but..."

"But..."

Shi Mao's face showed a smile harder than crying.

He raised his hand.

Silently covered his face.

He didn't have the face to continue speaking.

Chen Mu turned to glance at the pained Shi Mao.

This kind of thing.

From a netizen's perspective, it might be somewhat amusing.

Even the crispy college students themselves might be filled with curiosity for winemaking, fighting a constant battle.

But only from a counselor's perspective can you feel that collapsing sensation.

University counselor.

Supposedly the most leisurely job in outside eyes.

Yet Shi Mao unluckily faced a group food poisoning incident; the culprit was his student.

The other victims.

Were also students from his class.

Just three to four months after the first group poisoning incident ended.

Parents' moods.

Still hadn't been fully soothed.

And then.

Not much later, a second group food poisoning incident arose.

Chen Mu remembered when this incident broke out, within the school's internal groups.

Even the principal suggested.

Shouldn't Shi Mao go find a temple to pray?
