The first rehearsal ended smoothly, and everyone sat at the edge of the stage to rest.

“Where’s Kang Xin?” Su Yuan wanted to buy a drink. She got up and looked around, but Kang Xin was gone.

Yue Ran said, “I don’t know. I didn’t see her after the performance just now.”

The others also said they did not see her.

Su Yuan took out her phone and called Kang Xin. The call went through, but no one picked up. The others also felt that something was wrong. They called her one after another, but no one picked up.

“Boss, Kang Xin…”

Su Yuan said, “It’s fine. You guys rest. I’ll go look for her.”

After saying that, she went straight back to the dressing room.

The makeup artists were chatting in the room. When they saw Su Yuan, Gu Fei immediately went over to welcome her.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Fei asked.

Su Yuan said, “One of my team members is missing. You’re more familiar with this place than me. Help me look for her.”

The two of them then began to search separately. Gu Fei found Kang Xin in a remote bathroom.

By the time Su Yuan arrived, there was already a sign at the door that said ‘cleaning in progress.’

“Go in and take a look yourself. It’s the innermost room,” Gu Fei said.

Su Yuan walked in, confused. When she opened the door, she saw Kang Xin sitting on the toilet lid with her head lowered.

“Kang Xin?”

Only then did Kang Xin raise her head. “I don’t know what happened either. I think I’m allergic. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have time to eat during the rehearsal, so I had an extra bowl of seafood porridge. Boss, I’m sorry. I can’t go on stage anymore, sob sob…”

Su Yuan was stunned. She saw that Kang Xin’s face was covered in pimple-like red bumps, and her eyelids were red and swollen.

“Is it itchy?” Su Yuan asked.

Kang Xin said, “It’s really itchy. I didn’t dare to scratch it. It started to itch during the rehearsal.”

“Arc you allergic to seafood?” Su Yuan grabbed her wrist.

“I’ve never been allergic to seafood before, but I’ve never eaten anything else.” Kang Xin was stunned.

“You’re not allergic to seafood?” Su Yuan asked.

“I…” Kang Xin did not know what to say.

After taking her pulse, Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed. She quickly pulled out her phone and called Mo Ting, “Uncle, something happened here. I need you to get me some medicine. Hurry up and send it over.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Fei went forward and asked, “Do you need my help? Because of Brother Chen’s health, the Lu family has stockpiled a lot of medicinal herbs and many powerful doctors.”

Knock knock knock!

Before Su Yuan could answer, someone knocked on the bathroom door.

“Is there anyone inside?” It was a woman, and her voice was very familiar.

“Kang Xin, Su Yuan, are you guys inside? I’m Teacher Ai.”

Ain? Su Yuan and Gu Fei looked at each other. Why was she here?

Kang Xin was a little emotional. “No, Teacher Ai will definitely ask me to go back. I can’t go back now. If they see me, they will definitely help me get eliminated. I…”

Before she could finish, Su Yuan had already opened the bathroom door.

“You…”

Su Yuan only opened the door after confirming that there was no one behind her. She was halfway through her sentence when Su Yuan dragged her in and locked the door again.

Ain looked around and saw Kang Xin in the toilet cubicle. She saw Kang Xin’s eyes were swollen from afar and thought that she had cried too much. “What’s wrong with you? Is the pressure too… What happened to your face?”

“Don’t look at me!” Kang Xin quickly lowered her head.

“What happened?” Ain looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan crossed her arms and stared at her coldly. “Did you do that to her face?”

Hearing this, Ain’s eyes widened. “Su Yuan, we have no grudges against each other. Why are you slandering me?”

“Then tell me, Teacher Ai. Kang Xin hid so well, how did you find her here?” Su Yuan sneered.

“Where do I need to report to you when I’m looking for someone?” Ain said angrily.

She had come to look for the students out of kindness, but she was inexplicably slandered.

Su Yuan said, “Kang Xin was poisoned. If you don’t explain it clearly, you’re the one who did it.”

Hearing this, Ain’s expression changed.

Kang Xin was also stunned. Poisoned? No wonder she, who had never had an allergic reaction, suddenly had an allergic reaction. It turned out that someone had harmed her!

“Boss, I want to call the police!”

Su Yuan held her shoulders. “Calm down first. If your emotions fluctuate too much, the poison will spread quickly.”

Kang Xin immediately stopped shouting. “Boss, save me. I don’t want to be disfigured. I won’t die, right?”

“No. Teacher Ai, have you made up your mind?” She looked up at Ain.

Ain’s expression was solemn. “No, I didn’t want to come. The director suddenly wanted to rehearse again. Everyone realized that the two of you weren’t there. It was Zhang Yi. Yes, he sent me to find this direction!”

Su Yuan’s face darkened. So that was the reason.

“Can her face still go on stage tonight? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Gu Fei found an empty storeroom, and Su Yuan helped Kang Xin over.

Seeing that Su Yuan was ignoring her, Ain hesitated for a moment before following her.

Kang Xin’s face became redder and redder as she moved.

Su Yuan took out a bottle of something and soaked the gauze, preparing to apply it to Kang Xin’s face.

“Su Yuan, she’s already like this. Shouldn’t she be sent to the hospital?”

Gu Fei said coldly, “Su Yuan alone is more useful than a hospital. If you’re fine, leave. Don’t get in my way.”

At this moment, Ain’s phone rang. It was Zhang Yi.

“Where are you? Haven’t you found Su Yuan and Kang Xin yet?”

“No, I didn’t find her.” Ain glanced at Su Yuan.

“Have you looked for it properly?” Zhang Yi asked anxiously. “The director is already angry!”

“What do you mean?” Ain raised his voice. “What do you mean have I searched properly? Are you so sure that they’re in the direction you pointed me at?”

Zhang Yi was speechless. The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up..
