Afraid, That's Right

Hongda Mall is the largest mall in Han City, with a variety of domestic and international brands. Tang Wei took Gu Qingqing to buy underwear and shoes.

She could manage outerwear herself, and it was easy to buy, but for items like underwear and shoes, it's best to try them on, especially for a young girl still in the development stage.

Tang Wei took her to eat first, then they visited several stores. They even booked movie tickets for a recently released domestic animated film, which she thought children would enjoy. Gu Qingqing also realized that her new mom was probably deliberately taking her out to relieve stress from school.

Obviously, this high-tech 3D animated movie wasn't Tang Wei's thing, and she fell asleep soon. Gu Qingqing wasn't interested either. She obediently sat next to Tang Wei, occasionally glancing to the right corner of the room.

There sat a man who hadn't moved for a long time. He had left an empty seat in front, behind, and on both sides of him, and it was soon filled by female audience members.

The man made a slight miscalculation. Perhaps he thought that animated movies were for children, and even if there were adults, they would mostly be little girls. But he was wrong. This was an adult theater, with two-thirds of the audience being women, and they were lively, hormonal, teenage girls. Being alone and isolated from others, he stood out as the only man in the theater.

From time to time, he would receive ambiguous glances from female audience members. No matter how low he pressed his baseball cap, his strong and powerful physique couldn't be hidden.

Gu Qingqing's nose was more sensitive than most people's, but she couldn't smell the hormones.

However, in her previous research, she had discovered people who could smell the pheromone scent like insects. Being able to smell it meant being influenced by it, just like how some people couldn't stand the smell of meat. For some, the influence might only be a slight increase in libido or a decrease, but if someone was as sensitive to the opposite sex as this man, then these pheromone scents would be lethal for him!

Halfway through the movie, an infatuated girl couldn't resist the man's charm and walked over to him, showing a gentle smile.

"Sir, can I sit here?"

The man didn't answer, just looked at her, then got up and left. The girl stood still. Her beautiful makeup was almost ruined by anger. The man stumbled a bit as he left. Gu Qingqing turned her head back and continued watching the movie.

Today, she drank a lot of drinks. When she returned from the restroom in the second half of the movie, she saw several staff members surrounding a man. Some were doing chest compression, some were preparing to call an ambulance, and some were holding water to pour down his throat.

There were six people outside: three female staff members crowded around the man while the three male staff members couldn't even get close.

"See that? That's the allure of wearing a million-dollar watch," remarked two male staff members, standing aside with their arms crossed.

When Gu Qingqing came back from the restroom, the emergency scene hadn't progressed at all. The women were just messing around without making any real progress.

"If you don't want him to die, you'd better step away from him!" she called out.

"Well, look who's also charmed by the million-dollar watch!" one male staffer sneered.

A female staff member glared, "We've been trained in first aid!"

Gu Qingqing spoke up, "He doesn't have a heart attack, why are you doing chest compression on him?"

You're even riding on top of him, are you trying to kill him faster?

The staff member doing chest compression blushed and stood up angrily. "If you're so capable, why don't you come and try? Why talk nonsense?"

To be precise, Gu Qingqing wasn't someone who liked to save lives, but considering the million-dollar watch, she decided to help a bit, especially since all her assets were frozen by those bastards. It wasn't easy to administer injections in situation like this, but after massaging a few acupoints, the man woke up.

Pei Sichen caught a whiff of the fragrance of a girl, a fresh and clean scent that penetrated his lungs, dispersing the murky and dirty air little by little. With stimulation from several acupoints, his body which had gone on strike finally regained control.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the person beside him. The girl had pitch-black eyes like the stars in the night sky, and her porcelain-white face resembled a silver moon on a jade plate.

"This kind of training method is useless. Although it can improve endurance a little, it will also accumulate toxins. Over time, the immune system will collapse." This was a genetic defect that couldn't be changed by exposure therapy.

Pei Sichen frowned slightly for a while. "Thank you."

Gu Qingqing couldn't even be bothered to say "You're welcome," she just wrote an address for him. "Remember to bring money, and it has to be cash." She gave the money to Mu Jishan last time, and this time, she intended to keep it for herself.

She was afraid that some heartless person would freeze her account again and transfer her assets, making her penniless.

Pei Sichen: ...

He got up and directly left. The staffs were stunned. This was how straightforward and unreserved they were. She came for the money, plain and simple. She didn't seem like she was putting on any genuine emotions, unlike these few, who were acting as if they were showing genuine feelings.

During the climax of the movie, Tang Wei was finally awakened by the special effects and music. She quickly looked at her precious daughter beside her, who was still there, and breathed a sigh of relief.

As the movie ended and the credits rolled, the audience began to leave their seats. Tang Wei asked, "Was it good?"

Gu Qingqing replied, "It was good."

Tang Wei smiled. "Then next time, Mom will take you to see another good movie."

Gu Qingqing said, "Okay!"

Pei Sichen watched Gu Qingqing leave the mall with Tang Wei, and by now, his complexion had improved quite a bit.

Bai Mu was still feeling lingering fear. "Master Pei, next time you come for this kind of training, be sure to call me!"

"She touched me."

Bai Mu suddenly turned his head. "What?"

Pei Sichen said, "But I didn't have an allergic reaction."

"Ah!"

Bai Mu was overjoyed. Perhaps this was the "antidote" they had been looking for. They couldn't find the Ghost Doctor, but they found a woman who didn't cause an allergic reaction in Master Pei!

Finally, things were looking up!

Bai Mu almost wanted to kneel and kowtow three times in the middle of the street.

"Remember to send her a million in cash."

"Cash?"

Who still uses cash these days?

But Bai Mu quickly understood. The girl came from an orphanage, and she had experienced some bizarre families in the past. Perhaps cash would give her a sense of security.

"Okay!"

Back at home, Tang Wei gave Mu Yuyang a good lecture.

"A good man will treat the women around him like eternal princesses!"

Mu Yuyang: ...

Tang Wei continued, "If one day you find that the women around you have all become strong and unyielding, it means you have failed, and you're the most ridiculous loser!"

The young man's heart trembled. "Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine? Since you beat me last time, I haven't dared to date girls again. Where do I even have women around me?"

Tang Wei: ...

Did I say anything about dating girls?

"Aren't Qingqing and I the women around you?"

Mu Yuyang: ...

He looked at his sister who was nibbling on a pen beside him with a complicated gaze. "I, I understand."

Although what was said online sounded scary, as long as he didn't have any bad intentions towards his sister, the demonic constitution shouldn't rebound on him.

The young man clenched his fist and cheered himself on. He finally walked up to Gu Qingqing. "Qingqing, if you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me, and I'll fix them you!"

Blaming all these things on others wanting to bully his sister, he wouldn't let anyone bully her, right?

Gu Qingqing looked up, her black eyes deep. "I have trouble now."

The young man patted his chest. "What is it? I'll take care of it for you!"

So Gu Qingqing handed him her homework.

Mu Yuyang: ...

I still have a set of homework of my own to do!

Seeing that her "cheap" brother was about to go back on his word again, Gu Qingqing said, "Mom said that a good man will treat the women around him like little princesses. Today, the little princess doesn't want to do homework."

Mu Yuyang: ...
