Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"Yes, it's been a long-awaited time for just the two of us." Platinum emphasized the last four words, then raised her right hand to look at it. "But before that, I want to get my nails done. I accidentally scratched myself a few days ago while practicing archery with Miss Meteor, and it looks awful!"

"Don't rush this, the movie is about to start, it's your favorite comedy." Qin Duanyu's pupils, hidden behind sunglasses, suddenly widened, but he quickly composed himself and waved the movie ticket in his hand.

"It's 'The Real Satan' starring SilverCarry! Is this the surprise you were talking about? That's great, thank you, Doctor." Platinum seemed to have forgotten what she had just said, and eagerly ran towards the theater while holding his hand.

Soon, the movie officially started, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time. Although Bai Jin really wanted to take the opportunity to lean on Qin Duanyu's shoulder, the jokes were so frequent that she could only shrink into her seat and laugh uncontrollably.

Qin Duanyu remained calm and occasionally chatted with her about the plot, seemingly engrossed in it. Just as he was getting thirsty and preparing to drink some beverage, his sugary soda suddenly spilled on him.

Although no one around her was affected, Qin Duanyu was soaked through. She had no choice but to apologize to Bai Jin and reluctantly went outside, making an excuse to wash her clothes.

The once charming and smiling Bai Jin transformed into a completely different person after he left. She became cold and emotionless, with a glint of light emanating from the depths of her brown eyes, as if she were watching Qin Duanyu's every move through the walls of the movie theater.

Silently following behind, Bai Jin watched as Qin Duanyu took out identical spare clothes from the locker and turned into an empty little room next door. Then, Bai Jin excitedly covered his nose... cough cough.

Finally, watching Qin Duanyu head towards the open-air stage, Bai Jin's smile crumbled.

So, besides Blue Poison, you're also involved with other things!

Doctor, since you have devised such a meticulous plan, why did you forget that my most important habit as an assassin is to scout the battlefield before battle?

Section 163, Chapter 52: The Tightrope Walker and a Day Out of Control (7)

"Help! I've never been this tired even when it was mandatory physical education for men in college!"

Running wildly along Second Avenue, even though she only took shortcuts and wasn't blocked by crowds, Qin Duanyu still felt like she was about to vomit. Her lungs felt like they were on fire, and her muscles were trembling violently.

There was no other way; the bicycle was still at the botanical garden, and he simply didn't have time to retrieve it. He had to run on foot, which was far too strenuous for a weakling.

Fortunately, when Qin Duanyu arrived at the open-air stage, the performance was just coming to an end. He walked into the Syracuse restaurant, stopped a passing waiter, took out a blue bill, and asked him about what had happened after he left.

Now even the little angel Blue Poison has learned to act in the shadows, which has made him more cautious.

After receiving a tip of 100 Lungmen Dollars, the waiter became extremely attentive, even pulling out his notebook to show Qin Duanyu what dishes Lappland had ordered for lunch, and patting his chest to assure her that she hadn't left.

"Okay, thank you." He took the towel from the waiter and wiped his sweat, finally feeling relieved. "Oh, right, here's the towel back."

"It's alright, it's alright, just keep it. You might need it later," the waiter waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Excuse me, sir, whose face I can't see clearly, but that lady gave me 500 Lungmen Dollars and told me not to say anything..." Watching Qin Duanyu walk upstairs without realizing it, the waiter silently bowed to him.

He gently pushed open the door, and the dog was still sleeping peacefully. He was about to wake it up to go to the mall.

"La..." Before she could finish speaking, Lappland suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fierce, and pounced on him, looking just like a hungry wolf hunting its prey.

Actually, her speed wasn't that fast. Even with Qin Duanyu's reflexes, she could easily dodge it. But if she really did that, Lappland would undoubtedly fall to the ground. His strong will to survive told him that he would definitely die a terrible death.

Moreover, Qin Duanyu firmly believed this.

Lappland won't hurt him.

At least not until things are completely exposed.

Okay, my belief has suddenly become less firm.

However, with a slight impact, Lappland simply wrapped her arms around Qin Duanyu's waist, and did not feel any sharp pain in her stomach.

Then, she brought her head close to Qin Duanyu's neck, her nostrils twitching slightly.

"It's so itchy! What's wrong with you?" Warm breath hit her neck, and Qin Duanyu couldn't help but shudder. But the woman was holding her so tightly that she couldn't push her away.

"Nothing, I just think you smell sweet. Have you been eating too much candy lately?" Lappland finally let go of her hand, stopped sniffing, and licked her tongue provocatively.

"How could that be? If that were true, it would mean I have diabetes." Qin Duanyu quickly moved away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, it must be because the previous bottle of soda wasn't wiped clean properly; even the deodorizer couldn't mask the smell.

For a moment, he was terrified that Lappland had awakened some strange ability, and after licking him, he said, "It tastes like a lie."

"Speaking of which, Doctor, what exactly kept you waiting? You only showed up when the show was almost over. Was it for the surprise we promised?" After listening to the songs quietly for a while, Lappland suddenly asked with a smile as the last singer bowed and left the stage.

Although being caught doing something wrong is bound to make one feel a little embarrassed, given the doctor's thick skin, he would probably be able to adjust in a few seconds. Why would he need to wander around outside for so long?

If Lappland hadn't just confirmed through his lunge that he wasn't showing any signs of guilt or fear, and that he didn't have any other odor, she definitely wouldn't be as calm as she is now.

"You guessed right, close your eyes!" Qin Duanyu smiled mysteriously.

"Oh? Now I'm looking forward to it!" Lappland did as she was told, feeling a little excited, and even pouted.

Judging from the sound, it seemed as if Qin Duanyu was rustling as she took something out.

Are you playing this big?

Lapland was not flustered at all; on the contrary, she was quite excited.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now." To her surprise, there was no scene that wouldn't pass censorship as she had imagined. Disappointed, she opened her eyes and found a framed photograph of a slightly chubby man with a kind smile on his face.

"Dedicated to Miss Lappland, thank you for always loving my music — Jay"

Below the profile picture is a line of small text written in marker.

"There were so many fans backstage. If it weren't for having connections in the security department, it would have been really difficult to manage." Qin Duanyu handed the autographed photo to Lappland. "Are you hungry now? If not, let's go watch a movie over there!"

“Okay, let’s go see a movie first.” Lappland nodded, her smile growing even brighter, and took Qin Duanyu’s hand as they walked outside.

No wonder I couldn't find him anywhere before. Turns out he went backstage to get an autograph. I heard that Mr. Jay doesn't sign autographs easily, so it must be quite difficult to get one.

Since you've been so thoughtful, I won't hold it against you for leaving me out.

The delighted dog had no idea that this autographed photo of the singer was actually Bo's eighth emergency plan. Thanks to his relationship with the Penguin Logistics Emperor, it was easy to make contact and get seven or eight photos.

……

Although it was the same shopping mall and the same cinema, in order to prevent the girls from meeting when they went to the restroom, they deliberately chose theaters on different floors. After all, the shrewd Bo would not make such a low-level mistake.

Surprisingly, Bo chose an art film for Lappland instead of a war or action movie. However, judging from the way she wagged her tail, she seemed quite satisfied with "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

"Let me see, theater number four, third floor." Qin Duanyu glanced at the movie ticket, took her hand and prepared to get on the elevator. Just before the elevator doors opened, he very politely gestured for the lady to go first.

This action saved his life.

"Doctor!" As soon as Lappland entered the elevator, Platinum came over from the front desk, carrying a bottle of soda and popcorn.

"It sounds like someone is calling you. Will you run into colleagues here?" Lappland's ears twitched, but luckily, K/DA's new song was playing in the elevator, so she didn't hear it too clearly.

"It must be something like that in the song, right? Don't worry about it. Go upstairs and save a spot. I'll just buy some popcorn and drinks and be right there!" Qin Duanyu gasped and helped Lappland into the elevator.

Then, pretending to be regretful for not catching up in time, pounding his chest and stamping his feet.

"Doctor, are your clothes finally dry?" Platinum finally came over and asked curiously.

"Ah, right, it took me ages to finally get the stains off." Qin Duanyu sighed, then feigned confusion and asked, "Hey, has that movie finished showing yet?"

"No, I saw that I had eaten all the popcorn halfway through, so I came out to buy some more, and I also bought you a drink while I was at it."

"Thank you so much! Where is the movie in the series?"

"Yes, that's the man who tried to win back his lover by using Satan's power, but ended up creating even bigger trouble."

The two chatted casually. Qin Duanyu, using his sunglasses as cover, would occasionally glance at the wall clock, while Bai Jin held his hand tightly, showing no sign of letting go.

"Oh dear, I suddenly remembered that the surprise I prepared for you is almost here. Wait for me a moment, you go back to watch the movie first." Finally, taking the opportunity to help her with her things, Qin Duanyu picked up the cola and said loudly without turning her head.

Platinum didn't stop him, letting his figure disappear around the corner again, her smile growing increasingly crooked.

Doctor, are you going to give up your last chance to live?

Section 164, Chapter 53: The Master of Operations and the Day He Seems to Have Returned to Control (8)

Twenty minutes later, in front of the Furry Lovers Club, a radiant Texas was silently waiting for something, a POCKY dangling from his lips, with several empty boxes at his feet.

Although Qin Duanyu ordered a whole bunch of things for her before leaving, such as moisturizing treatments and blackhead removal treatments, this guy didn't even show up after all these miscellaneous things were done.

No matter how calm you are, being stood up, especially by someone you like, and especially after you've already given them some perks while suppressing your embarrassment, no one would be happy to be stood up by them.

Squeak!

With a sharp, piercing scraping sound, Qin Duanyu, imitating Exusiai, drifted and stopped the bicycle in front of Texas. This bicycle was not the one abandoned outside the botanical garden, but one bought directly from the mall, with the tag still on.

"No time to explain, get in the car!" He said excitedly before the girl could even speak.

Texas looked at Qin Duanyu with a puzzled expression, but still sat on the back of the bicycle, wrapped her arms around his waist, and gently pressed her cheek against his back.

This was supposed to be a romantic thing, but the guy in front of her was completely oblivious to romance and insisted on using the intensity of the Tour de France. Listening to the wind whistling past her ears and the violent bumps, Texas suddenly realized what it felt like when Ah Neng and the others rode in her car.

Next, Qin Duanyu led her to a store selling high-precision electronic products, and finally stopped in front of a row of machines that looked like eggs placed at an angle. Each machine was connected to a large screen, showing various models of cars speeding on the road.

Video games?

Texas was a little disappointed. It seemed that among the people she knew, only Exusiai liked this stuff. Could it be that the Doctor also had a taste for it?

"This is a racing simulator with a 90% accuracy rate. I just used it to practice driving. If you don't believe me, you can sit in it and try it!" Qin Duanyu said with a smile, opening the hatch and gesturing for Texas to sit inside.

Texas initially wanted to refuse, but seeing that the cabin was quite well-equipped, and with Qin Duanyu's strong recommendation, she reluctantly agreed.

The hatch closed, and the screen showed what the garage looked like, filled with all kinds of luxury sports cars. Without thinking, she chose the most familiar truck model. When she looked at the last truck, her pupils contracted slightly.

Wuling Hongguang!

This is a legendary vehicle in the logistics industry, but unfortunately it has long been discontinued. Even Tencent Logistics can't get their hands on one. Even experiencing it virtually is worth the price of admission.

As Texas pressed the confirmation button, the instruments inside the cabin began to change, and the seat stood up, completely simulating the driver's seat of a Wuling Hongguang.

Great, let's start with this GTR!

Texas cracked her neck and became fully absorbed in the game.

"Wow, look! Someone's going to challenge a sports car with a Wuling Hongguang!"

The truck's unique design immediately attracted the attention of passersby, who quickly gathered in front of the Texas simulator to see if it was a true expert or just a fool.

Qin Duanyu disappeared into the crowd and drove to Ramsey Restaurant. She took the somewhat bored Mei Jiansheng out of the restaurant and went to a cat cafe in the mall.

Although the wealthy woman on the island, Mousse, also kept many cats, her personal hobby was still quite different from that of a shop that focused on cat petting. Mei Jiansheng was quickly captivated by these adorable cats and willingly became their cat servant.

Next, just watch what I do!

Qin Duanyu twisted her neck, making a crisp sound, and then activated her God's-eye view.
