Chapter 404: Chapter 378: Adorable Mischievousness (Thanks to Alliance Master Shui Yuqing for the Reward +9)

“I can’t believe it, my aunt actually managed to rescue my enemy in such a roundabout way!”

She really believed that her aunt must not be her real aunt, but rather her step-aunt!

If this never happened, she and Yu Minglang would definitely be at home rolling around in a red blanket, not going out and encountering Chu Xue under attack!

What a bizarre feeling…

“I even want to punch that woman surnamed Chu.” Xiao Qiang’s anger hadn’t subsided, as his plans were thwarted, and they ended up saving someone they didn’t want to save, which was annoying.

When they got home and closed the door, Xiao Qian couldn’t wait to wash her hands, having just touched Chu Xue, she felt as if she had contracted many viruses.

Chu Xue was unconscious the whole time, she didn’t even know who saved her, and was sent to the hospital after being rescued.

After washing her hands, Ming Lang followed in, Xiao Qian thought he wanted to wash his hands too and stepped aside to let him in, but Ming Lang grabbed her by the shoulder, and just as he was about to scold her, Xiao Qian snapped back even fiercer.

“You can admonish me and give me political lessons later, but you have to wash your hands first, don’t touch me with your crazy fighting hands!”

“Go inside and wait for me, see if I don’t teach you a lesson!” Ming Lang pointed his finger at her nose, but didn’t touch her, knowing she had OCD and not wanting to upset her.

After deliberately washing his hands with soap twice and making sure they were clean, an angry Ming Lang was ready to settle the score with Xiao Qian.

All he did was buy a bun, and she ran off to save someone, which was very dangerous!

There was no one in the living room, so Ming Lang had to go to his room on the second floor, and as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Qian lying face down on his bed.

“Chen Xiaoqian! Have you come to your senses?! Driving without a license and taking on a madman, do you have any idea how dangerous that was just now?!”

“Um… my stomach hurts, do you have a hot water bottle?” She said lazily.

Ming Lang pointed his finger at her again, calmed down a bit, and walked out without saying anything.

There was no hot water bottle in the house, so he had to fill a beverage bottle with hot water, wrap it in a towel, and hand it to her. Seeing him so obedient, Xiao Qian buried her face in the pillow and giggled twice.

Ming Lang came back in, handed her the makeshift hot water bottle, and remembering that he still had to settle the score with her, continued to point at her with his hand as Xiao Qian looked pitifully at him.

“Elder Brother, I’m hungry…”

Ming Lang really wanted to maintain a serious demeanor and admonish Xiao Qian for her actions tonight.

Rescuing people was his job, what was she doing getting involved in such a dangerous situation?

They needed to firmly imprint in her mind that, when it came to martial power, she should look to Xiao Qiang in her family.

Originally, it was Chen Xiaomei, who was supposed to save the world with her IQ and sharp tongue, who actually started the fight. Ming Lang couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he had come out a little later.

What else could she do? Hand the bad guy over to the authorities.

In Ming Lang’s imagination, he should have been stern and scolded her severely.

But as soon as she pitifully called him “Elder Brother,” Ming Lang couldn’t keep his mind on anything, and by the time he came to his senses, he was already holding the hot and sour soup he had bought earlier, feeding it to her spoonful by spoonful as Xiao Qian happily gnawed on her buns.

The supper had already gone cold, so Ming Lang reheated it and fed it to her while she lay in bed, still not getting up, covered with a quilt, Ming Lang squatting by the bedside to feed her.

“You’re not allowed to do this again, understand?” His gentle soup-blowing contrasted sharply with his stern tone.

Xiao Qian wasn’t afraid of him at all, as he stood tall and powerful like a husky, she didn’t fear him, now crouching down like a corgi, looking serious but still adorable.

However, in her words, she should at least give Xiao Qiang some face by pretending to be chastened.

“I got it.”

Ming Lang saw that she was being obedient and continued lecturing her.

“All you had to do was stop the car, wait for me to come back, and I’d take you to chase after him. This time you came across a coward, but what if you faced someone stronger and they played chicken with you, what would you do?”

“That won’t happen.”

“How can you be so confident?”

Xiao Qian was waiting for him to feed her soup, but he maliciously took the bowl away, clearly showing an attitude of ‘I’m too cruel, you don’t tell the truth, I won’t let you drink.’

Xiao Qian lazily patted the bed, signaling him to sit on it, “Dr. Chen’s science time, huh? Have you noticed, this criminal isn’t tall, and specifically targets women in red?”

“It’s been said out there that he indeed targets red-clothed women to do his dirty deeds. Xiao Mei, I noticed that a lot of bad guys, both ancient and modern, like to target red-clothed victims. I studied this when I was minoring in criminal psychology.”

“Yes, many criminals in serial cases like to target red victims, but they don’t dare to go after men, which shows that they are inherently bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.”

“Last year, I helped catch a bad guy who specifically stabbed red-clothed women, injuring them but not robbing them of their money, similar to today’s guy who only wanted sex and not to kill. They truly have something in common.” Ming Lang recalled a past incident.

“Some of these cases are indeed sensationalized by the public. When they hear that it’s a serial case, people pass it around and it becomes a story about targeting red-clothed victims. It’s also possible that the probability is skewed, for example, during a period when red is popular and everyone is wearing it, so rumors spread. But the one I encountered today was different. I noticed that he was indeed particularly keen on red. After seeing me, he became extremely excited. Xiao Qiang, do you remember the ghost movie we watched today?”

“Yeah, it mentioned that a woman in a red dress who dies turns into a fierce ghost.”

“Red-clothed women represent seduction and enchantment, and the color red symbolizes horror and death, which gives people a lot of room for imagination. But indeed, some criminals are affected by stimuli and target red because red has a strong visual impact and a passionate feeling. In East Asian culture, red itself has the meaning of violence and bloodshed. This man must have been affected by stimuli and is particularly sensitive to red. You see, his small and thin physique only bullies women, which means he is a coward and doesn’t have the courage to compete with me. Besides, does our car fear a mere piece of scrap metal?”

Comment: The importance of buying a sturdy and reliable car.

Ming Lang wasn’t fooled by Xiao Qian’s tangent, knowing that this mischievous little woman was trying to confuse him, to get him off track, and thus evade his reproach.

He had intended to bring the conversation back and continue scolding, but seeing Xiao Qian looking like a mischievous little cat, Ming Lang decided to try a different approach.

“So, what’s the meaning of you wearing a red dress today, huh?”

“…” Xiao Qian had no words to say, glancing at him with annoyance, knowing that he was asking a rhetorical question like a bad guy.
