Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Legend has it that this flower was specially cultivated by a Liberian man with a missing arm for his dragon wife, symbolizing their unwavering love until death. Qin Duanyu gave it to Chen, who happened to be a dragon, so the meaning is self-evident.

However, since it is not as widely used by people of different races as roses, probably only dragon girls and those who truly love flowers and understand language would know the intricacies of it.

Thanks to the fact that when they were visiting the botanical garden in Siesta, Mei Jiansheng taught him a lot about flowers, and the fact that the flower shop happened to have Dragon Girl flowers for sale, Qin Duanyu had the opportunity to make his move.

While other flowers could achieve the same result, none would have been as outstanding. He was quite lucky; perhaps even the heavens were on his side.

……

After lunch, Qin Duanyu politely declined Shi Huaiya and Chen's offer to take him to his accommodation.

What a joke! We finally managed to resolve this chaotic situation. If you were to get into one of the girls' cars now, you would definitely die before the dawn of victory. Experienced masters of chaotic situations would never make such a basic mistake.

Of course, I won't choose either side and will take a taxi myself.

He's handled much bigger situations than this, so this little thing is nothing to him. What kind of chaotic scene is this? It's really quite funny. ^^_^

However, before that, we need to ask Lao Wei for his wages, which he earned with his life.

He hummed a song as he walked into the alley at the other end, casually taking out his phone from his pocket.

"Hey, Lao Wei, I saved you a lot of money today, right? Shouldn't you show some appreciation?" After dialing Wei Yanwu's number, Qin Duanyu said fiercely, "Don't try to play the poor card with me. With the level of decoration in your office, a renovation would cost at least several hundred thousand. You should at least give me two hundred thousand as a service fee."

Click!

The sound of a gun being cocked came from inside; it sounded very familiar.

"Wait, don't rush other things. Call all the police officers near XXX Avenue over here to rescue..." Qin Duanyu stared blankly at the girl who had appeared in front of him at some point, then hurriedly spoke to the other end of the phone.

boom!

A bullet grazed Qin Duanyu's cheek, but although it didn't hurt him, it shattered his phone.

Feeling the burning sensation on his cheeks, he took a deep breath.

This is definitely not a rubber bullet that will hurt for days after being hit; it's a real, genuine weapon capable of killing.

"Hey boss, it's been a few days, you seem to be having a lot of fun?" The gleaming halo above her head couldn't dispel the darkness and gloom on the red-haired girl's face.

"A-Neng... let me explain." Qin Duanyu hurriedly waved her hands.

How come this girl always manages to appear in such unexpected places at such unexpected times?

"Yeah, I'm listening. Dragon's strip is one thing, and Little Ma said your relationship was definitely ambiguous, but didn't Tiger's strip already break up with you? Why are you kissing in the street then!"

"You... you saw everything?"

“That’s right, I’ve been watching from a distance ever since you sat down at the food stall.” Exusiai flashed a bright smile, her gun still pointed at her. “I never imagined that I would run into the girl you flirted with just by going out to buy an apple pie.”

"I'm not bragging, but the Apuru pies from other shops are definitely not as good as mine. Why don't you come and try my handiwork later? It's filled with Doctor's filling!"

Chapter 54, Section 239: Ah Neng? Just a girl who can be dealt with with an apple pie.

Because of the emergency at Wei Yanwu's residence, lunch was eaten a little early today. By the time Qin Duanyu saw off the two girls who had been flirted with, it was only a few minutes past noon.

Moreover, in order to take a shortcut, he deliberately took a secluded alley, and since it was midday, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

This means that Exusiai could not only easily turn Qin Duanyu into an apolu pie, but could also pour a bucket of gasoline on her afterwards, set her on fire, and destroy the evidence, then calmly leave while humming a tune, without alerting anyone.

Escape is impossible.

Without the suppression mode on his side, he didn't think he could outrun bullets.

Besides, why run away?

"A-Neng, let's walk around inside. I'm afraid leaving the body here will frighten passersby." Qin Duanyu threw away the broken pieces of her phone and, under Exusiai's astonished gaze, turned her back to her and walked into the depths of the alley.

After the initial panic subsided, he calmed down completely.

As the saying goes, one should strike while the iron is hot, but the second attempt will be less effective and the third will be exhausted. After getting through the crisis in Siesta, most of the girls' resentment had already dissipated. As long as Qin Duanyu doesn't do anything too stupid, the matter of the woodcutter's knife is basically impossible.

Despite the huge commotion, it's all bark and no bite. Plus, Ah Neng is always carefree and simple-minded, making him one of the easiest girls to win over. It just looks more thrilling.

If witnessing Qin Duanyu and Swire kissing truly caused her to completely break down, then the shot wouldn't just blow up her phone; it would blow up the scumbag's head.

His current behavior is more like venting his inner dissatisfaction, just like a normal girl throwing a little punch at your chest after getting angry, except that Ah Neng is using bullets.

Therefore, all Qin Duanyu had to do was wait for an opportunity.

"You...aren't you going to explain anything?" Exusiai hesitated for a moment, lowered the muzzle of her gun, and followed slowly behind, asking with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Although explanations would certainly be ineffective, she had never seen such an operation—surrendering before even reaching the capital—before she had ever witnessed it.

Based on past experience, the doctor would definitely use sweet talk to charm the girls and then use their conflicts to escape. Is it because he is only facing her now and has lost the room to maneuver?

No, this guy is trying to gain sympathy by pretending to give up and struggle, just like he did in Siesta!

Exusiai looked enlightened, realizing she had guessed Qin Duanyu's plan. She raised the muzzle of her gun, which had been hanging down, and aimed it at Qin Duanyu's leg to prevent him from causing any more trouble and escaping.

Even if I didn't really intend to kill this scumbag, he might escape the death penalty, but he'd certainly suffer some injustice. It was impossible not to teach him a lesson. Maybe I'd even break his legs and drag him back to one of Penguin Logistics' safe houses to keep him there, so I could have him all to myself...

Although she was aware that her carefree nature might be noticed by her companions at any time, she would at most ask Texas to share with her, which was still within an acceptable range.

Hmm, I must have been reading too many weird novels lately. She shook her head vigorously, banishing the tempting thought, and decided to put the doctor in overdrive mode later to give him a good scare so he would never dare to flirt with weird women again.

Both of them, harboring their own secrets, walked very slowly, with only the crisp sound of their footsteps audible. Unlike Exusiai, who was lost in thought, Qin Duanyu silently estimated something, thinking to herself that the time should be about right.

Gollum-

Strange sounds echoed in the quiet alley.

Qin Duanyu had just finished lunch, so it couldn't be him. Therefore, it could only be…

"How about I treat you to a meal before I'm executed?" He scratched the back of his head and said to the embarrassed Exusiai, "I just saw a newly opened restaurant in Syracuse over there, and their apple pie smells pretty good."

"Shut up, you scum who recklessly deceives young girls' feelings, I won't fall for it again!"

Gollum-

No sooner had he finished speaking than another strange sound rang out.

……

"Boss, two more steaks, the most expensive kind you have!"

A dozen minutes later, Exusiai raised the fork in her hand and shouted indistinctly.

"How long have you been starving? Oh, it's almost the end of the month. You've been eating porridge and steamed buns these past few days, haven't you?" Qin Duanyu teased, then poured all the sugar from the sugar jar into the coffee cup under the shopkeeper's horrified gaze.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about me. I was like this before I met you. I didn't care about you at all; in fact, I was happier without you!" Exusiai rolled her eyes and forcefully cut the steak on her plate to vent her dissatisfaction.

Damn it, if I hadn't been starving and hadn't been broke from not having a fancy meal... I would have made sure he experienced the street fighting skills of Penguin Logistics. He was lucky to have escaped this ordeal!

"Yes, yes, yes, who told you to be so unlucky as to run into me?" Qin Duanyu could tell from the girl's hearty eating and drinking that her anger had subsided by most, and a bright smile appeared on her lips hidden in the shadows.

There was no coincidence; it was all meticulously planned.

Back when he first treated the girls from Penguin Logistics to dinner, Croissant the Bread Man told him that Exusiai would never get up before 10 a.m., and the nearly two weeks of living together afterward proved that this was indeed the case.

When she didn't need to escort him to work at the Guard Bureau, this girl had no interest in even getting up for breakfast. She would just eat some sweets to fill her stomach, and around noon she would start asking for lunch.

According to what she said before, she had just woken up and left the dormitory to buy some apple pie to fill her stomach. Then she happened to see Qin Duanyu and Swire kissing outside the flower shop, so she followed them.

It's important to know that people can do many things beyond common sense when they're angry. For example, he suppressed his hunger and hid in the shadows to observe, and then attacked Qin Duanyu, who was alone, after the three incredibly powerful girls left.

But after walking through the alley for a while, her anger gradually subsided, and the influence of her long-established biological clock caused her stomach to protest.

"You should be secretly happy! Boss, another apple pie!" Exusiai was completely unaware that she was being completely controlled, with even her behavior patterns under her control. She continued to order food with the intention of eating Qin Duanyu out of house and home.

"Eat slowly. Overeating is bad for your health. You must chew slowly and carefully. No one is going to take it from you." Qin Duanyu cut off a piece of apple pie and held it out to Exusiai. "Look how I cut it. It's the perfect size. Come on, open your mouth!"

Exusiai blushed as she looked at the apple pie hanging in front of her.

As a connoisseur, she only needed one glance to know that the owner's skills were superb. The outer crust was crispy and the inside was soft, the filling had just the right consistency, and the apple chunks were baked to a golden brown, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Mmm, so sweet.

Right, what was I supposed to do? After finally swallowing what was in her mouth, before Exusiai could even think about anything, another piece of apple pie was thrust in front of her.

Well, that's settled then.

Chapter 55, Section 241: So, Doctor, what is the price?

After lunch, Qin Duanyu, holding the slightly protruding belly of Exusiai, walked into a large chain supermarket not far away.

"A-Neng, get me a few boxes of instant coffee, the most expensive kind. This is the only drinkable instant coffee. Also, milk candy, make sure it's Little Black Rabbit brand, the other cheaper brands don't taste milky at all." Qin Duanyu pointed to an unattended shelf, gesturing for Exusiai to go get it.

"Damn it... even after I get paid, I... I don't think I can afford this kind of thing..." Looking at the shocking price tag, Exusiai could only grit her teeth, "Damn rich people!"

Turning around, she saw Qin Duanyu examining a bag of frozen dumplings. After a moment, he threw it back into the freezer and replaced it with the most expensive kind. Then he picked out some self-heating rice and canned meat and put them in his shopping cart, all of which were the most expensive items.

"Doctor, this is far too much of a waste. I just need to get through these few days." Exusiai, sensing his sincerity, said happily, "Since you're so kind, I'll forgive you!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Qin Duanyu asked, feigning surprise and tilting her head.

"Didn't you buy all this food to make it up to me?"

"When we were having that big meal just now, you said you'd pretend nothing happened today. Are you going to go back on your word?" Qin Duanyu shrugged and teased.

"What about all this food..." Exusiai asked, pointing to the shopping cart with a hint of disappointment.

In those days when you had to count the grains of rice when drinking porridge and lick the crumbs off your steamed buns, having an extra piece of pickled vegetable was a blessing, not to mention self-heating rice, frozen dumplings, canned beef... It was like being in heaven, able to comfortably wait until payday.

So the professor didn't buy it for her after all.

"Of course, it's dry food I prepared for myself. Anyway, I've already told Lao Wei that the Guard Bureau is just going through the motions, so it won't make any difference whether I go or not. I plan to just stay at home for the rest of the week." Seeing Exusiai's disappointed look, Qin Duanyu barely managed to hold back her laughter.

Teasing Ah Neng is so much fun.

This silly girl doesn't even think about it. If she weren't forced to, why would Qin Duanyu be interested in fast food? She's not broke, isn't eating out better? Besides, with his appetite, he obviously couldn't finish this much by himself.

"Giving it to you is fine, but I'll have to pay for it."

"Okay, then I'll pay you back when I get paid!" Exusiai said, pursing her lips with a hint of helplessness.

At first, Texas was willing to lend her and Croissant money, but later he found that their ability to repay was worrying, and the amount owed was getting bigger and bigger, with a hint of defaulting on the debt. So he gave up the idea of ​​helping them, and only threw them a few boxes of Pocky when he saw that they were too hungry to walk.

As for the PhD, borrowing money two or three times shouldn't be a problem, right?

"No, no, no, I'm not short of money right now, so let's find a way to compensate me that everyone can accept." Qin Duanyu stuffed the shopping bag into Exusiai's arms, revealing an expression of a big bad wolf catching a little white rabbit.
