Chapter 134 - 134: Digging a Pit for the Boyfriend (Thanks to Huapiao Ling and Shibi+update)
Chen Xiaoqian didn’t bother to explain to anyone, including her thoughts before she entered the room that if Yu Minglang continues to obsess over Zheng Xu, she would break up with him.
She despises men who are suspicious and untrusting, constantly glancing their girlfriend’s phones, getting upset if they speak just one word to another man.
If anyone else behaved towards her like Yu Minglang did this time, she would directly leave. But not him, she just couldn’t do it.
She could tell how Yu Minglang treated her, she saw everything, even if he didn’t say it. It’s rare to find a man who considers the finer details, although his occasional slip-ups and overbearing attitude just now were annoying.
However, after calming down and getting over her initial rage, reminiscing about their relationship, deploying some emotion management, and understanding the instincts of the male species, Xiaoqian felt relieved again.
This was the instinct passed down from primitive society and is a physiological response unique to males in human evolution history.
Especially in men with excessive male hormones like him, acting out like this is normal. Considering how he protected Xiaoqian from Prime Minister Turtle, excessive male hormones were a double-edged sword. He takes good care of the woman he lays claim to, while becoming extremely hostile towards anything he perceives as a threat.
In these short few minutes, Xiao Qian figured it out. She can’t demand Yu Minglang’s care while rejecting his instincts, which are irreversible.
The challenge now lies in how to eliminate friction between her instincts and his using a rational approach. Xiao Qian still wants to communicate with him sincerely.
“I want to talk to you about Zheng Xu.”
Yu Minglang, who was just suppressing his anger, felt it rise again. He had intended to avoid this topic, but Xiaoqian outright brought it up.
“Go ahead.” No matter what she says, Yu Minglang didn’t like Zheng Xu, especially not Zheng Xu being close to Xiaoqian.
“There are things about your work you don’t tell me. Similarly, as a psychologist, I am obliged to keep my patients’ information confidential. These are our professional principles. Do you agree?”
“So, you’re beating around the bush to tell me not to interfere in your affair with that kid?” Isn’t this still poking at his sore spot?
As she saw his fury building again, Xiaoqian shoved a pillow into his arms.
“Try controlling your emotions. Let me finish talking and just listen. If you feel agitated, take it out on this pillow. Or you could scratch the walls if you’re not afraid it’ll hurt.”
Yu Minglang felt like smoke could now be emitted from his head, infuriated by her words. Is she trying to communicate or provoke him?
“I can’t disclose Zheng Xu’s case to you in detail, but I can tell you that in my future career, I will encounter many male patients. It could be a Zheng Xu, a Wang Xu, a Li Xu, or any other Xu. If you can’t stand every single man approaching me and keep getting angry, you might get liver disease, or thyroid dysfunction, inflammation around your hair follicles…”
Yu Minglang punched the pillow angrily, “You’re not hoping for my wellbeing!” What a string of nonsense she was spewing!
“I’m only stating facts. If you drop dead from anger, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate or stick around for you. I’ll find another person.”
Yu Minglang was so angry by her words that his forehead veins popped up. Seeing that he had lost his temper to the right degree, Xiaoqian suddenly flung herself onto him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“So, you can’t always lose your temper. You have to live well, you know? Only when you’re alive, I’m alive. If you die out of anger, there’ll be nothing left.”
Yu Minglang was like a balloon filled with air, originally on the verge of bursting, but her words made him feel like a deflating balloon soaring into the sky.
His heart floated.
Xiaoqian understood male emotions very well, she knew how to ignite his emotions, then soothe him. Seeing Yu Minglang obviously pacified but still stubbornly keeping a stern face, trying to restrain his laughter, his eyes lighting up in delight, Xiaoqian knew that it was just the right moment.
“I won’t tell you about Zheng Xu’s situation. But, I can tell you if I can cure Zheng Xu, I can also find a way to cure my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.” “Why do you say that?” Hearing the mention of a potential cure for OCD, Yu Minglang immediately turned serious, too preoccupied to feel jealous.
“The reason I like Zheng Xu–” Xiaoqian had hardly finished her sentence when she saw him clenching his fists, veins popping on his forehead, his eyes tinged red with rage. He was really agitated now.
“You like him?!” He never expressed liking her, but she liked that Black Cucumber!
“Where did your emotion management skills go? Is this how you act when you work?”
“To hell with work! My girl is into someone else.” Yu Minglang stood up and was about to leave. What emotion management, what calmness, what cooling down for ten seconds, had all been thrown to the back of his mind. The only thought he had now-
He needed to fight it out with Zheng Xu right now!
Xiaoqian hugged him from behind, making Yu Minglang freeze.
A girl who usually wasn’t coquettish, showing a little intimacy automatically made his heart flutter.
“Let me finish my sentence. The way I like Zheng Xu is different from how I like you.”
Biu! It’s like an arrow piercing his heart! What’s this, they’re not alike? How can he fall short compared to Black Cucumber?
“We’re spiritual twins. Do you understand what that means? Yu Minglang, wipe away your dirty thoughts. Have you ever heard of twins getting it on with each other?”
“Why not, in those foreign films, twin siblings touch each other everywhere, then a man comes in–” Yu Minglang abruptly stopped speaking.
His face started to flush. Damn, he blurted out too much in his frustration.
“Oh, I wouldn’t have guessed.” Xiaoqian sneered, releasing her hold on him, sizing him up with a glance. So this was the kind of Yu Minglang who watched those films, especially the hardcore European and American ones, even twins!
“I mean, that, I was with some buddies. I only watched a bit and then I left, too disgusting. I was just an ignorant teenager back then…”
At this moment, his feeble attempt to clear his name was too late. Xiaoqian looked at him with disdain.
“Don’t change the topic. Explain what you mean by ‘spiritual twins’.”
“Fetch me a sheet of paper and a pen. If you have carbon paper, get that too.”
Yu Minglang prepared everything for her. Seeing Xiaoqian scribbling effortlessly on the paper, he was mesmerized by her beautiful handwriting.
She was not only beautiful but also had an elegant handwriting.
Xiaoqian filled two sheets of paper using carbon paper as a backing.
“There are a total of 30 questions here, let’s answer them together. If more than 90% of our answers match, then we’re spiritual twins.”
Of course, it’s not that simple. Xiaoqian, pushing up her glasses, was always setting traps. Let’s see how this guy handles it..
