Chapter 443 - Experiment Failure
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Mengyao noticed Yushu thinking really hard about something during class. âShu, whatâre you doing? Whatâre you thinking about?â
âYao Yao, Iâm just wondering if I have any wishes I want to fulfillâ¦â Yushu felt like she had all her wishes granted recently, and there wasnât anything to ask Pinliang to do for her anymore.
âWishes? You want to eat shark meat, donât you?â Mengyao didnât know what Yushu was up to, but the thought came to mind.
âOh, yeah! I want shark meat!â Yushu exclaimed excitedly now that Mengyao had reminded her. âIâll ask Zhong Pinliang to get me treat me to shark meat!â
âZhong Pinliang? You want him to treat you to shark meat?â Mengyao blinked.
âYeah. He asked me what he could do to make up and make you happy just now.â Yushu said.
âDonât go to him- if you want shark meat ask Lin Yi to get you some.â Mengyao didnât want to get involved with Pinliang.
âDonât worry, Yao Yao, itâs me asking, so it wonât involve you.â Yushu was pretty experienced with this sort of stuff at this point.
âDo what you want thenâ¦â Mengyao didnât have the energy to bother anymore- the last three years Yushu had been doing these things far too frequently. It made Mengyao rather numb to it whenever Yushu would take advantage of Pinliang again, but it did make her curious as to why Pinliang still trusted Yushu after being had so many times.
Pinliang decided to skip the last morning class- he went to the night market street with Xiaofu directly and got two portions of fried mushrooms for Yushu. He placed them in front of Yushu, managing to get the food to her right before lunch break started.
âOh. Iâll talk to you after I eat- it wonât be crispy if it gets cold.â Yushu waved her hand to dismiss Pinliang.
Pinliang nodded and went back to his seat. Heâd bought a couple of dumplings with Xiaofu, thinking of just eating that for his lunch- he didnât have the appetite with so much to think about.
He caught Yushu finishing her fried mushrooms, and quickly sprung up to chase after Yushu, who was now walking to the trash bin. She smirked internally upon seeing Pinliangâs anxious face.
The guy sure was dumb- wasnât he tired of getting scammed all the time? Here he was, asking to get scammed again.
âI say, Liangy, canât you give me some space here? Youâre even following me to the trash bin, nowâ¦â Yushu put on an unhappy face for Pinliang to see.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHeh heh⦠Shu, Iâm just in a bit of a rush, thatâs all. Here, Iâll throw that for you!â With that, Pinliang took the trash from Yushuâs hands. âWhat did Yao Yao say?â
âShe says that yesterday was a pass, but sheâs under a lot of pressure from school stuff. She wants to go someplace fun, and summer campâs in May, thatâs too long for her to wait!â Yushu had thought up an excuse already.
âOh, going out?? Thatâs perfect!â Pinliang was joyed- this was his dream! Heâd always wanted to go out with Mengyao, to go out on dates with her!
âWhatâre you thinking about? Yao Yao wouldnât go out with you alone, alright, sheâs not your girlfriend yet, right?â Yushu said disdainfully- Pinliang was being so obvious with what he was thinking.
But Pinliang wasnât disappointed at all from what Yushu said- it actually excited him quite a bitâ¦
After all, Yushu said that Mengyao wasnât his girlfriend âyetâ, and that meant that she might be in the future⦠So Mengyao had some feelings for him after all????
The thought made Pinliang very happy. âShu, tell me- where does Mengyao wanna go?â
âTo the beach, maybe? You organize a spring trip for the whole class! Otherwise Yao Yao wouldnât go at all if itâs just the two of you.â Yushu said.
âAlright, no problem! Spring trip, right? Iâll go organize it in just a bit!â Pinliang quickly nodded, satisfied now that he had a target. With that, he waddled away to help Yushu throw out the trash.
Having taken care of Pinliang, Yushu walked back to class, humming.
The clinical tests showed no results, and it came as a surprise to the Kangs.
Everyone, including Miracle Doctor Kang, who had consumed the âoriginalâ Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, only experienced varying degrees of disgusting diarrhea and vomiting. There wasnât any toxin cleansing taking place at all!
Other than the liquids and solids being expelled from the body, nothing special had happened at all.
As weak as he felt, Miracle Doctor Kang sat in his study and asked for an emergency family meeting to address the problem.
âZhaolong, what was the problem? How come none of us had our toxins expelled?â Miracle Doctor Kang was perplexed- even if the dog poop wasnât the correct component, the one heâd consumed was the original pill! The results were prominent for Zhaoming after heâd just eaten half of it, so how come his condition was the exact same with everyone whoâd eaten regular dog poop?
âI donât know, grandpa⦠We know that the component is dog poop, so this doesnât make sense⦠The one you took was the original PIll of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, too, so why didnât anything happen?â Zhaolongâs head was spinning as well- he felt exhausted.
âIs it only effective to certain people?â Miracle Doctor Kang wondered, confused.
âI donât think so, grandpa⦠Nothing happened to me this timeâ¦â Zhaoming stopped himself there and stood up holding his stomach. âI canât- I need to go to the washroom, Iâm about to shit my pants!!â
With that, Zhaoming ran out the study, farting all the while he ran.
But nobody minded the stench from his farts- everyone present had been farting the whole day.
âZhaomingâs right- nothing happened to him as well. Did something go wrong in our experiment?â Miracle Doctor Kang nodded in agreement.
âWell⦠Grandpa, Iâve thought about every possible situation, but I couldnât come up with an explanationâ¦â Zhaolong shook his head. âUnless the one Zhaoming ate was different from the one you ate?â
âDifferent? Wasnât it the same half with the other half of the original pill?â Miracle Doctor Kang frowned.
âItâs just a guess, but thereâs no evidence to prove it now. But, if we think about it, the approach we took mightâve been wrongâ¦â Zhaolong said. âWe all got hung up in the heat of the moment, thinking whatâs most impossible is the most possible, that dog poop has to be the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing! But really think about it- is it really that simple?â
âYouâre saying that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing isnât actually dog poop?â Miracle Doctor Kang found sense in Zhaolongâs words now that heâd calmed down to think about it. A miraculous pill like that couldnât really be just made of dog poop, could it? Wouldnât that be so simple?
âThatâs a guess, but yeah. Right now, I have two bold theories about the whole thing!â Zhaolong was studying for a PhD, after all- he was the most educated in the Kang family, and his analyses made sense.
âTell us!â Miracle Doctor Kang nodded, beckoning him to continue.
