Chapter 52 - 52: Apology
“This Dragon-Phoenix Soup, it is so fragrant, it makes one’s mouth water.”
Leng Kai, Song Jian, and the others, all find themselves lost in the overflowing aroma, their faces a picture of intoxication and fascination.
With a grin, Huang Xiaolong quickly climbs up the tree and untangles the silk cocoon that wrapped Shu Qinghan’s legs, then proceeds to carry her down.
As Huang Xiaolong gently set Shu Qinghan down, unexpectedly, she wobbled unsteadily, her legs having been hanging in the tree for a long time. Her delicate body seemed to lose strength, and she fell directly into Huang Xiaolong’s embrace. He quickly embraced her slender waist. His hands marvelled at the exquisite feel – her waist slender enough to fit within his grasp.
“Hey, Qinghan, everything is okay now.” Huang Xiaolong, with a very cheerful attitude, said.
After vomiting out the cabbage snake from her stomach, Shu Qinghan felt light, as if a burden was lifted, her stomach remained beautifully flat and trim. The relief, surprise, and gratefulness left her trembling in excitement.
In the very next moment, Shu Qinghan was so overwhelmed that she is threw her arms around Huang Xiaolong’s neck and gave him a big smack of a kiss on his cheeks.
Huang Xiaolong was kissed forcefully.
“Xiao Long! Thank you! I don’t know how I can ever thank you enough!” Pale Shu Qinghan looked at Huang Xiaolong, her bright almond eyes shining, her lovely cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness, and her full lips glistened in the sunlight.
“Qinghan!” Song Yuru rushed in joy, unable to resist and touched Shu Qinghan’s flat stomach. “Wow! It’s really gone!”
“Yuru, don’t touch me just like that…” Shu Qinghan released Huang Xiaolong and playfully touched Song Yuru. The two lovely women laughed and fooled around, expressing their inner happiness.
After a while, Song Yuru with admiration and curiosity looked at Huang Xiaolong. “Xiao Long, what exactly happened? Why would there be a snake in
Qinghan’s stomach?”
Huang Xiaolong laughed and said, “I can’t explain that either. Maybe it happened when Qinghan was ovulating, a snake egg accidentally entered her body, hatched, and the snakelet started to grow inside her. In short, this kind of strange occurrence is rare in a thousand years.”
Pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong said again, “Alright, the problem with Qinghan is now settled. My wife, you can send the video you shot with your phone to Qinghan, so she can prove her innocence to her family. Hmm—so hungry, let’s go and grab something to eat!”
“Ah? Eat…that Dragon-Phoenix Soup?” Both Song Yuru and Shu Qinghan frowned.
“Maybe we should not eat it…although it smells good and seems delicious…But, it came out of Qinghan…haha- ‘ Song Yuru couldn’t help but laugh, “I definitely won’t eat it.”
Not only did Song Yuru feel a little nauseous, but Shu Qinghan herself also constantly shook her head. “Xiao Long, I don’t want to eat it either. Just thinking about it creeps me out.”
“Oh…” To Huang Xiaolong, however, there seemed to be nothing wrong, he glanced at Leng Kai and Song Jian and then went over with a playful expression on his face.
“So, do you want to eat?” Huang Xiaolong playfully asked.
“Such disgusting food, and you dare to introduced it as a delicacy…”
Chen Shuangshuang glared at Huang Xiaolong with distaste. She really wanted to taste Dragon-Phoenix Soup, but seeing Huang Xiaolong’s triumphant position irritated her. So, she tried to pick a bone.
“That’s right, Huang Xiaolong, you eat that Dragon-Phoenix Soup. No one here wants to eat such a nauseous and dirty thing.” Leng Kai swallowed and said with feigned disdain.
“Alright then.” Huang Xiaolong said, completely serious. “Apologize to Qinghan now! ”
Apologize?
Leng Kai, Song Jian, and the others stared at each other with a very displeased expression.
They have just publicly humiliated Shu Qinghan, and now they are being asked to bow their heads and apologize, they unwilling to do so.
“Hahaha—-” Leng Kai gave a dry laugh. “Apologizing…we are all classmates, and since there is nothing wrong with Shu Qinghan, we are all happy for her. As for the apology…that’s unnecessary. Moreover, whether we apologize or not, has nothing to do with a village boy like you.”
Indeed, these people, spoiled since childhood by rich and indulgent families, are self-opinionated, arrogant, and have rarely had to back down to anyone. Especially Leng Kai – apologizing? Not happening!
“Didn’t we agree to a wager? You guys lost, why don’t you fulfill your promise and apologize to Qinghan?” Huang Xiaolong grumbled. “Town dwellers really don’t keep their word.”
“Enough! Huang Xiaolong, why does a country boy like you keep yammering in front of us? What a petty winner!” Leng Kai shouted in anger. “Today, I won’t apologize. What can you do about it?”
“Leng Kai, is it really good to break your promise like this?” Song Yuru pulled Shu Qinghan as she walked over. “You are an adult male, can’t you be responsible for your actions?”
Fang Ruoyu said embarrassingly, “Yuru, be merciful. There’s no need to be willfully excessive. We’ll have to cross paths in the future.”
At this point, Huang Xiaolong looked at Leng Kai, eyes narrowing slightly, and sneered, “Well, since you won’t apologize, then forget it. I see that you’re quite pathetic; I will not force you.”
“Hahaha… me, pathetic?” Leng Kai laughed as if he’d heard the funniest joke in the world. “You, a small town boy with muddy shoes, are calling me pathetic? Do you know what my parents do? Or how much money my family has? Me, pathetic? Hahaha…”
“I don’t know what your parents do, nor how much money your family has. But I do know—you’re sick.” Huang Xiaolong said, a sympathetic expression forming on his face. “Ah, to be so young and yet so ill. It’s really quite pitiable.”
“You’re the sick one! Your whole family is sick!” Leng Kai flew into a rage out of shame.
“Your face is pallor, your voice weak, and you feel aches and pains after brief walks. You have kidney deficiency from excessive intimate encounters.” Huang Xiaolong said calmly. “I guess that by now, your endurance for such activities doesn’t exceed one minute. Pitiful, really pitiful.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, Leng Kai shuddered. His expression was one of utter shock, and his eyes dodged and sidestepped as if he were a ?thief caught in the act. “You… you… you’re talking nonsense!”
As Huang Xiaolong pointed out, Leng Kai had been suffering from premature ejaculation in recent years, unable to last more than one minute during intercourse – his greatest shame and deepest secret. And today, it was publicly exposed by Huang Xiaolong.
But this was something Leng Kai would never admit. “Oh, how hilarious. You… You really know how to spew nonsense,” he huffed.
While Leng Kai struggled to maintain his bravado, the spectators shot him incredulous looks, silenced by his heavy sweat and guilty expression. It was clear that Huang Xiaolong wasn’t making baseless claims, Leng Kai did have that problem…
‘I passed out. Leng Kai, with his great family background, actually has this issue… that’s unexpected.’ Fang Ruoyu pulled a face, contempt rising in his heart.
“Besides premature ejaculation and kidney deficiency, you also have chronic nocturnal emissions. Every two days, you have an incident, often waking up between 4 to 5 a.m. to change clothes.” Huang Xiaolong continued at his own leisurely pace.
“Ah! Stop talking!” Leng Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong in horror. He was scared, really scared. His embarrassing truths being laid bare by Huang Xiaolong, was like stripping away his clothes piece by piece; it was simply too cruel…
“Um… Shu Qinghan, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have insulted you. Please forgive me.
I promise not to speak badly about you in the future.” In order to stop Huang Xiaolong from exposing his embarrassing secrets any further, Leng Kai finally backed down and apologized to Shu Qinghan.
Seeing Leng Kai apologize, Ye Cheng refrained from arguing further. His gaze moved to the fiery Fang Ruoyu. “You, too, are sick.”
Sweat was now trickling down Fang Ruoyu’s face, “Nonsense! I’m not ill! I had a check-up at the hospital last week. There’s nothing wrong with me!”
“You are sick. After turning 15, have you not been staying awake all night, tossing and turning? And doesn’t it feel like there’s a fire burning inside you, leaving your skin feeling hot, even during winter, requiring only a thin quilt?” At these words, Fang Ruoyu looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
“I believe you’ve had a detailed check-up at a major hospital and been given an all-clear by the doctors, right? However, from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, your condition is quite severe! The balance of yin and yang energy in your body is disrupted, leading to metabolic disorders and increased sex hormones. Bluntly put, your sexual desire is overactive. Doesn’t engaging in intimate activities with men slightly alleviate your restlessness and insomnia? And don’t you often resolve it on your own, but feel extremely empty each time after? While you’re still young and your body can handle it, if you continue to let it develop, you’ll exhaust your life potential and prematurely age after you turn 30. The root of your condition started when you were 13 years old, obsessing over self-pleasure.”
“Stop talking! Stop talking! I beg you to stop!” Fang Ruoyu wept, covering her face. “I apologize, isn’t that enough? Shu Qinghan, I was wrong, please forgive me. From now on, I will never talk nonsense about you again.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfied agreement, and then turned his eyes to Song Jian.
Song Jian shivered in fear, “No! No! I know what to do now. Shu Qinghan, I’m truly sorry for frequently mocking you. I was wrong. You were never pregnant before marriage. You are innocent. I was wrong, truly wrong. As classmates, I hope you will forgive me.”
Nobody wants their secrets to be revealed. Song Jian had suffered from a sexually transmitted disease a few years ago, and it took half a year to cure. Seeing the miraculous abilities of Huang Xiaolong, he quickly apologized to Shu Qinghan before Huang Xiaolong could speak.
Following this, Ankang, Tong Xiaobo, Chen Shuangshuang, and the others all rushed to apologize to Shu Qinghan, each more sincere than the last.
Song Yuru and Shu Qinghan glanced at Huang Xiaolong, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
So awesome!
So impressive!
Eloquent and relaxed, he preserved his calm while surrounded by critics – this perfectly fit Huang Xiaolong at this moment!
