Chapter Thirty-Three Is He a Man?

  Back home from the hospital, Ma Pei and Zhang Sen were sent away. Looking at Ling Ziyu closing the door and pulling up the curtains, Ouyang Feifei let out a sigh of relief, stood up from her wheelchair, stretched her waist, and changed her usual coquettish attitude towards Ling Ziyu when they were alone together. She said calmly: "Weiwei, I want to rest for a while, don't bother me about dinner."

  Ling Ziwei replied, unable to help but ask her: "Feifei, you were fine on the way to the hospital, how did you become so tired after coming out of the examination room?"

  Ouyang Feifei gave her a white eye and said in a bad tone: "Do you think '摄心术' is as enjoyable as **? Do you know how much energy it takes for sister me to do that? Moreover, that damn doctor didn't even give me a proper look before. I'm so puzzled, sister me is so stunningly beautiful, those men who saw me in the past were all infatuated, why doesn't it work on this damn G city person?"

  "That Ma Pei is still passable, it's because you're here, because you look exactly like his ex-girlfriend, and he can't help but think of you. But why does Zhang Sen remain unmoved when he sees me? And this doctor today, from start to finish, didn't even give me a proper glance, as if in his eyes, I'm no different from those yellow-faced women! Dammit, if he had any lustful thoughts towards me, even just a single glance or a moment of admiration in his heart, I wouldn't have to work so hard! As long as there's even a tiny bit of that kind of thinking in his mind, my 'captivating technique' would easily take care of it!"

  Ouyang Feifei got angrier and angrier, but Ling Ziwai couldn't help but want to laugh: "Forget it, you really think every man wants to get with you? If all men were like that, there wouldn't be an idiom like 'sit in a woman's lap without being aroused', and we probably wouldn't know about the ancient person Liu Xiahui either. But I think Zhang Sen is quite into you, isn't he? Alright, stop getting angry, aren't you tired? Go to sleep quickly."

  Ouyang Feifei walked over to the sofa and sat down, pulled out a cigarette from her small bag, lit it up, took a deep drag, and said to Ling Ziwai: "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? Zhang Sen's attitude towards me is purely like an older brother treating his little sister. Haven't you seen how he always teases me, not even a hint of romance between us? Ugh, when I can finally stand up straight and proud, if he still doesn't take the bait, one day when I'm angry with him, I'll definitely get my revenge on him!"

  Ling Ziwei smiled: "Aren't you skilled in 'Heart Capturing Technique'? Why not use it directly on him? Do you need to go through so much trouble?"

  Ouyang Feifei gave her a silly look: "The person I used '摄心术' on is like a wooden puppet, what can they do? I don't want a silver-haired wax head! Alas, I say Vivian, don't mention it, I really doubt if he's a real man, otherwise why wouldn't he be moved by me? It doesn't seem like...

  Ouyang Feifei was speaking excitedly, but suddenly stopped and didn't continue.

  Ling Ziwei didn't pay attention to her words at first, thinking she was just ***, but was piqued by the unfinished second half of her sentence: "Not like what? Or not like who? Why didn't you finish?"

  Ouyang Feifei's face suddenly changed slightly: "Don't say it, don't say it, no one is like that, I'm blind to say it, I just said he doesn't look like a normal man."

  Ling Ziwei looked at her, seemingly enlightened, and smiled: "Isn't that right? I seem to be hearing something about a specific person. Could it be... are you referring to Ye Yan?"

  Ouyang Fei snorted: "Dark Night? How could it be him?" As she spoke, she suddenly sighed and said sincerely: "Vivian, although we are currently working together on a task and had some contact in Japan, I have never told you about my affairs. I don't know why you joined Dark Night, but I'm guessing it's not just because of Ke'er's situation. The money needed to treat Ke'er's illness is not a small amount for you, but it's not so enormous that you would have to sell yourself out!"

  And if it were really like that, you could have asked An Ye or Chang Jiang to cure Ke Er's illness before joining the Nightfall Door. But you didn't, I think you just wanted to find an excuse to join the Nightfall Door.

  "You don't say, and I don't want to know. Everyone has their own thoughts and principles for doing things. Our relationship isn't at the point where you'd share your innermost thoughts with me. However, since you mentioned the dark night, I'd like to talk about my own stuff. Are you interested in listening?"

  Ling Ziwei looked a bit downcast and sighed, "Actually, it's no wonder you'd think that way. About Ke'er's situation... sigh, how can I put it? They took Ke'er away first, then called me afterwards, just like you said. I suggested taking Ke'er to see a doctor first, but they said they already understood the situation very clearly, and Ke'er's illness wasn't something that could be delayed. They would let Ke'er live without worries or troubles. However, treating her illness had to wait until I completed a task."

  Then they told me about the bankruptcy of that consortium six years ago, to make me understand that their orders are not to be disobeyed, and with Xiaoke in their hands, I couldn't risk her life. My parents have passed away, Xiaoke is my only relative now, she depends on me so much, how can I bear to disappoint her? For me, the most important thing is Xiaoke, what happens to me doesn't matter.

  "So, since entering the Dark Night Door, I've been desperately learning what they teach me, just wanting to receive my task as soon as possible and let them cure Ke'er's illness. Finally, after waiting for an opportunity, it's because of this damn appearance that I couldn't complete the task quickly! Alas, perhaps this is fate, my fate, and also Ke'er's fate!"

  Ling Ziwei said, and tears as big as beans rolled down.
