This was the first time Duan Min had kept a living puppet by his side, and he hadn’t expected this situation at all. Flustered, he searched online and found a positive answer.
“You…” Duan Min hesitated, unsure how to begin. He paused, carefully choosing his words, “Do you have that napkin?”
You Xu, whose body was being controlled, replied, “No.”
She hadn’t had time to buy it before being controlled, leading to today’s tragedy.
Duan Min pursed his lips, touched his neck, and scratched the skin under his eyes, standing there extremely uncomfortable, as if he were about to be set on fire.
He considered asking the puppet downstairs to buy it but then remembered it was You Xu’s personal item. He stared at You Xu for a while, let out a long breath, and relented, “I’ll go buy it.”
Duan Min first helped her lie down, covered her with a blanket, then opened the top drawer of the bedside table, took out several bottles of medicine, and swallowed about five or six white pills.
You Xu asked the system, “What are these things he’s taking?”
The system replied, “Psychotropic drugs, with a calming effect.”
Wait, why would he need so many drugs to calm himself down just to buy sanitary napkins? He’s not going to commit murder or arson. You Xu couldn’t help but ask, “Why is he taking these drugs?”
“Although he resembles a human, he has human consciousness, and naturally, human psychology,” the system explained. “His experience of being experimented on has made him physiologically and mentally averse to humans. Therefore, when he comes into contact with people, especially strangers, he experiences a series of adverse reactions.”
“What kind of reactions?”
“Cold sweats, tinnitus, hallucinations, vomiting, and a tearing pain in his body.”
You Xu was even more puzzled: “But he hasn’t had these symptoms when he’s been in contact with me.”
It wasn’t that she was narcissistic, but during the time Duan Min controlled her, even at such close proximity, she hadn’t seen him exhibit any adverse symptoms.
“He took several bottles of medicine because of you,” the system stopped its Tai Chi movements and sat cross-legged. “Then he gradually accepted you, both psychologically and physiologically, and those symptoms stopped appearing.”
A vague idea surfaced in her mind, and You Xu asked blankly, “So before, he took the medicine when…”
The system continued, “After 7 PM every night.”
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood. Even though Duan Min ate lunch with her, he would take a plate of food back to his room to eat alone in the evening because he had to take medicine.
He now held her and fell asleep every night at 10 PM, but before, he slept very late, not getting up until noon. This was because the medication affected his nerves, making it difficult for him to fall asleep for a short period of time.
You Xu fell silent. The system reminded him, “Host, please pay attention to your Emotional Realization Value.”
“Emotional Realization Value?”
“It’s the real emotion you feel towards the mission target. The higher this value, the worse it is for you,” the system continued. “If the value is too high, the system will forcibly reset the host’s emotional value to its initial state. People who do quick transmigration missions should not have any extra emotions, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers in the end.”
“Although the emotional value can be reset, due to the host’s resistance, it will not be reset cleanly,” the system’s voice became much deeper. “My previous host collapsed because he couldn’t bear the accumulation of emotions from one world to another.”
You Xu didn’t ask any more questions and remained silent for a long time before saying, “I will try to control it.”
System: “Okay.”
Duan Min went out, wearing a black baseball cap and a mask. A few years ago, he would never have imagined that he would go out to buy sanitary napkins for someone.
Arriving at the nearest supermarket, Duan Min’s muscles were tense under his loose hoodie, and he was already sweating profusely.
He had to hurry.
He went to the area where men rarely frequented, where sanitary napkins in various colored packages filled an entire shelf. A sales assistant was there, helping two women shop.
Duan Min approached the shelf, grabbed a pink bag, and turned to leave. After a couple of steps, he glanced down and immediately saw the two large characters on it: “Daytime Use.”
Daytime Use?
Duan Min stopped, thinking it was nighttime, so it shouldn’t be this.
He turned back to the shelf, put the pink bag back, picked up the blue package next to it, and confirmed the two characters on it were indeed “Nighttime Use.”
His gaze swept over it again—”Soft Surface.”
What did that mean? Duan Min bent down and saw another blue package of sanitary napkins next to him, labeled “Dry Mesh Surface.”
“…”
Same packaging, just four different characters; it must be a different material. Since they’re both nighttime use, he’d take them both.
He held a blue package of sanitary napkins in each hand, and just as he stood up, he noticed a new problem.
The lengths listed on each package were different: 180mm, 245mm, 275mm, 290mm, 350mm, 420mm…
420 millimeters is 42 centimeters, that’s… way too long!
Are these sizes? Why are there sizes? Do women use different sizes at different ages? Or is it because of slight differences in body structure?
Is longer always better?
So what size is she actually using?
Duan Min stood there, lost in unprecedented confusion.
The author has something to say:
Duan Min: Isn’t it only men who have size issues? (
