Picking Chrysanthemums Beneath the Eastern Fence

So Liu Qingqing regained control of her body. She wasn't shy at all, and kept taking out new discs from the cardboard box, her face full of curiosity.

"Bound... multiple people... anal... I can't understand, does this really feel good?"

Si Ming pondered, "Unless one is a masochist, the average person shouldn't be able to derive pleasure from it. But since it's a movie, they'll definitely have to pretend to be very comfortable, and there might even be post-production dubbing to make moaning and groaning sounds."

Ying Zhou urged, "Enough, enough! The evidence is conclusive, let's take the prisoner away quickly!"

Si Ming turned his head and saw that the guy's ears were completely red. Although he couldn't see the expression under the mask, he knew what it looked like without even thinking, which surprised him.

Despite being a delinquent, he's surprisingly conservative in this area, which is quite innocent...

Si Ming immediately had a mischievous idea and said, "Just looking at the cover isn't enough to prove it. The contents of the disc are unrelated to the cover; this kind of thing happens quite often. We need to confirm it further."

Liu Qingqing chimed in, "Indeed, just the sight of a man and a woman embracing doesn't necessarily equate to sexual intercourse." It was unclear whether she genuinely believed this or was simply playing along with Si Ming.

Ying Zhou was so frightened that he lost his composure. "You're not planning to take it back to look at, are you? The orphanage won't do that, it'll disturb others, Director Yao... Hongdou..."

He suddenly realized that these two would probably not only not refuse, but would also watch it together and enjoy it immensely, so he quickly changed his name: "Don't forget that Murong Wu also lives in the orphanage; his sister won't let you off the hook if she finds out."

"That's true..." Si Ming looked at Liu Qingqing, "How about we take it to your house to see?"

"Okay, my mom's off to work... Wait, the cover of this one has a dog on it, is it supposed to be an animal documentary?"

Startled Ying Zhou took two steps back and couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to watch? This... this isn't a good idea."

Si Ming, "There's nothing wrong with it. You'll have to go through this eventually anyway. It's a good opportunity to learn in advance; you'll definitely find it useful in the future."

While I doubt we'd need anything like multiple people, bondage, or anal sex...

"That's true, but these things really should be... done with someone you truly like..."

Ying Zhou's voice grew softer and softer, and finally he simply chose to flee. "Anyway, the person has been caught. You can take your time to verify the evidence. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now."

Si Ming watched the other guy's disheveled retreating figure and laughed heartily, "I never expected this kid to have this side to him. You'd never see that coming. Shouldn't teenage boys be full of curiosity about these kinds of things?"

His reaction was just like a girl's... Thinking of this, Si Ming turned his head and saw Liu Qingqing looking at a disc with great interest. The cover showed a woman whipping a man who was hanging up with a nine-section whip.

Oh no, I've gotten myself into a trap, haven't I?

Chapter 621 Picking Chrysanthemums by the Beneath the Eastern Fence

"These discs are actually miniaturized versions of movies, so you can watch them at home."

"Then why are the uncle and aunt on the cover naked and hugging each other? Don't they feel ashamed?"

"They're playing a sport called Fairy Fighting, which is similar to wrestling, but both sides have to be completely naked to play. This is because the audience believes that wearing clothes would interfere with the performance. Of course, although the covers always show men and women embracing, most of these wrestling matches are actually participated in by men. Women are generally too embarrassed to do so. You see many men walking around shirtless on the street, but women rarely do that."

"Oh, what are the benefits of winning the competition?"

"After winning, everyone will call the first place winner the Fairy King, meaning that this person is very good at wrestling."

"Can I play the fairy fighting game with Si Ming?"

"Ahem, your sister Qingqing won't agree, because I'm too strong. You're no match for me, and there's no point in winning. But you can play with sister Qingqing, and I'll be there to watch over you and prevent you from getting hurt."

Have Si Ming and Brother Ying Zhou ever played together? Who's more skilled between you two?

"Cough cough cough... Not everyone likes this sport, just like not everyone in the Barbarian Continent likes horseback riding and archery. Si Ming isn't interested in this sport. Look at those two men wrestling together, covered in sweat, they're absolutely filthy. But that kid Ying Zhou really likes this sport, especially wrestling with those burly, strong men. If you don't believe me, next time you meet him, you can ask him if he likes challenging strong men."

On the way home, Xie Xiaomei kept asking about the DVD, and Si Ming could only try to brush her off. While feeling a headache, he was also pleased that she was much more lively than when they first met, so his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.

If it were Xie Xiaomei from the beginning, she probably would have shut her mouth and stopped talking when she realized that Si Ming didn't want to answer. Such a reaction is called being perceptive and knowing when to advance or retreat in an adult, but it would be too early to stifle a child's natural instincts.

Once home, Xie Xiaomei finally stopped asking questions. She quickly took off her shoes and ran through the living room, kitchen, and bedroom like a whirlwind, then returned disappointed, saying, "Auntie isn't home."

Si Ming patted her head and comforted her, "Auntie Liu is very busy with work and is usually not home, but she should be able to make some time to stay home with us these next few days."

"Won't that cause her trouble?"

"It's meant to cause her trouble. Actually, Auntie Liu has already earned enough money, but she always focuses on her work and neglects her family. Sister Qingqing is embarrassed to bother her, so you have to take Sister Qingqing's place and try to be affectionate with her, understand?"

Xie Xiaomei clasped her hands together and nodded. "I will try my best."

However, Auntie Liu did not return until nearly midnight, and Xie Xiaomei, feeling a bit exhausted, had no choice but to go to sleep.

"The bed here is so soft."

Xie Xiaomei rolled around on the bed a few times, giggling.

"I'm going to turn off the lights."

Si Ming pressed the switch, and the room immediately went dark. Just as he was about to leave, Xie Xiaomei called him back.

"Um... has Qingqing's mother always been like this?"

Si Ming stroked his chin. "In my memory, she was quite fierce. After all, she raised Qingqing all by herself, and life was very hard. Of course, the fierceness here doesn't refer to hitting people, but rather that she rarely smiled at people and always had a stern face that said, 'Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary.' As soon as the children saw her, they would immediately stop playing and even lower their voices, not daring to disturb her. This is one of the reasons why Qingqing never had any friends."

"Oh, so that's what my aunt was like before. But she was so gentle with me... Was it because I was using Sister Qingqing's body?"

"No, rather, she's much stricter with her daughter than with outsiders, always finding fault with her, saying she doesn't do this or that well enough. But lately she's said that much less, and has indeed become much gentler."

Si Ming recalled Auntie Liu's attitude towards Liu Qingqing in the past and couldn't help but shake his head. People who didn't know the situation might think that this mother was abusing her child, but the truth is that she never hit Qingqing, and she didn't even make any threatening gestures.

He suddenly realized that Auntie Liu's quick acceptance of Xie Xiaomei might be partly due to a desire to compensate Qingqing. The reasons she used to prevent Qingqing from showcasing her talents no longer existed, so she wanted to change her attitude, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Thus, Xie Xiaomei became a good transition, having the appearance of a daughter but not being a real daughter.

"I'm just an outsider; you should ask the people involved."

As he spoke, he pulled out Liu Qingqing, who had turned into a rabbit, shook her a few times, and Liu Qingqing transformed back into a human.
