"What's the situation with that Xiao Yueyue?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"You mean Wu Shuchen, right?
Xiao Yueyue is the stage name she uses when she goes out.
She's known to be promiscuous; be careful she doesn't latch onto you.
If she does, you'll be stripped bare, even if you don't die."
Xiao Lu said.
"What do you mean?"
"She's a typical gold digger, utterly without limits, and plays very wild.
She once participated in a 'Hundred Man Challenge' here and got second place,"
Xiao Lu said.
"Hundred Man Challenge?" Guo Xuyang repeated.
He'd heard the term before when he helped Xiao Yun's best friend with a problem.
However, he didn't know if Xiao Lu's 'Hundred Man Challenge' was the same as the one in China.
"Yes. It means taking on one hundred men. The one who lasts the longest and has the shortest time wins.
She only took three minutes longer than the first-place finisher.
After that, she threw a huge tantrum back at school."
"If she's like that, why are you still hanging out with her?"
"This circle isn't that big, and there are only so many people to interact with.
There are very few Chinese people here, and even fewer women.
Besides, she wasn't like this initially.
Even though she plays wild, she's also a top student.
I heard she's addicted to it and has to find someone to quench her thirst."
"She doesn't look that old?"
"All three of them are about the same age, around twenty. I've never really asked their exact ages.
You know, these women are extremely sensitive about their age."
Xiao Lu said.
"Has she approached you?"
"You know, my education isn't high, and I like to try different new things."
Xiao Lu suddenly seemed a bit embarrassed.
That statement clearly implied she'd been intimate with him.
"Then why didn't she latch onto you?"
"I have no money. She wouldn't be interested in someone penniless."
"This world really has all sorts of people."
Guo Xuyang sighed.
"Such a beautiful girl is addicted to this."
"Aren't you very capable? Can't you help her?"
Li Minyu suddenly said.
"Help? Why help her? Perhaps she likes it.
If I help cure her, she might resent me for meddling."
Hearing Li Minyu say that, Guo Xuyang knew she had already recognized his true identity.
"What girl would like this?"
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish? Haven't you heard that saying?"
"Mr. Liu, can you cure Wu Shuchen's condition?"
Xiao Lu suddenly asked.
"It's hard to say. I don't know her specific situation, so I can't guarantee anything,"
Guo Xuyang said.
"She's also very troubled by this, knowing that everyone around her looks at her with prejudice.
But she can't control herself.
If she doesn't find someone for a long time, she'll have a fever, her whole body will turn red, and she'll feel cold."
Xiao Lu said.
"Is that so? I didn't notice any symptoms when I saw her last time?"
"That was right after she'd been with someone.
Otherwise, you would have seen at a glance that she wasn't normal, looking at men like a hungry wolf spotting food."
"How are you so sure? Weren't we at the bar together yesterday?"
"Didn't we separate for a little while?
When I met Sun Yue, Wu Shuchen wasn't at the booth; she came down from upstairs later."
"Does she do this often?"
"It wasn't like this in the beginning.
She became like this after she was drugged in her first semester of university."
Xiao Lu said.
"Who told you that?"
"Sun Yue quietly told me."
"Since you've been intimate with Wu Shuchen, didn't you ask her about it?"
"Mr. Liu, how could I conveniently ask her about this?
Besides, I was with her secretly behind Sun Yue's back."
"Aren't you afraid Sun Yue will find out?"
"Sun Yue found out about it later.
I don't know if Wu Shuchen told her or if Sun Yue figured it out, but she knows now.
However, she warned me to be careful of Wu Shuchen latching onto me, and she also told me about this situation."
"You didn't know Wu Shuchen had this problem before?"
"No, I just knew she liked to play. She was easy to get."
"So, it sounds like it's a sequela from that drug."
Guo Xuyang remarked.
"Actually, Wu Shuchen's symptoms are quite similar to Ji Xiaolan's."
"Which Ji Xiaolan?" Li Minyu asked.
"The 'Bronze Teeth, Iron Jaws' Ji Xiaolan.
According to unofficial history, he needed a woman by his side every day, or he would have red eyes and a bad temper.
Especially when compiling the Siku Quanshu, the Emperor personally granted him two palace maids.
Of course, this is all unofficial history and not to be taken as fact.
However, the symptoms of the two are quite similar.
Both are quite thirsty for the opposite sex."
"Mr. Liu, since you know about this situation, can you treat her illness?"
Xiao Lu asked.
"I'd have to see her when she's having symptoms to determine if I can treat it.
I haven't seen her in such a state, so I can't say for sure right now,"
Guo Xuyang said.
"Then, can I ask Sun Yue to invite her over tonight?"
"Yes. But she can't do anything too outrageous," Guo Xuyang said.
"I'll have Sun Yue tell her beforehand."
"That's good."
The three chatted as they arrived at a farm.
This farm seemed to have been neglected for a long time; the row of houses looked lifeless.
However, every now and then, something resembling a wild chicken would flutter past.
"This place is too dilapidated! There's no one inside,"
Guo Xuyang commented.
"This farm has been listed for sale for a long time, but no one has come to buy it.
One reason is the severe epidemic here; many people nearby have died or been injured.
Another is that the economy in America is currently declining, so no one can come up with such a large sum of money to buy a farm."
Xiao Lu explained.
"How large is this farm?"
"About one hundred and sixty acres.
I remember the price listed online was $450,000.
This includes the buildings and some of the farm equipment inside."
"The price isn't too high, just that the house is a bit old."
Guo Xuyang said.
For him, it really wasn't expensive.
Over 160 acres of land converted to about three million Renminbi, which was less than the cost of a small stone he'd given away.
"The house is old, so it can be torn down and rebuilt.
This place is really nice, with mountains and water. I like it very much."
Li Minyu said.
"How about I buy it for you to live here?"
"You don't need to give it to me.
Liu's death benefit has come through; it's over $500,000."
Li Minyu said.
"Are you sure you want to live here?"
"Why not? Raising some cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks would be better than anything else.
Planting some grapevines and fruit trees, we could even make our own wine and fruit wine in the future."
"Then you buy it. When we get back, I'll have Manager Zhao arrange for some people to help tidy it up."
Guo Xuyang said.
"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, are you sure about buying this place?"
Xiao Lu blinked and asked.
"Yes, I've taken a liking to this place.
If we buy it, I'll be a landlord here too,"
Li Minyu said.
"I didn't explain this clearly earlier; I thought you were just coming to look.
To buy land here, you must have a green card.
Otherwise, the farm owners won't dare to sell."
Xiao Lu said.
"If we can't buy it, why did you bring us here?"
Guo Xuyang was a bit annoyed.
