Beauty-loving, proud, and cold grand peac0ck X Insightful, clever, and alluring sickly fox
–
When Zhu Ming, a former neuroscience genius, lost his ability to walk due to an accident, his dream of scientific research was shattered and his marriage prospects became a problem.
During a forced blind date, he met Xi Xianqing, a strikingly handsome yet aloof man.
This jewelry designer was dignified and arrogant, with a mental manifestation in the form of a green peac0ck that couldn’t fully display its feathers.
Xi Xianqing coldly said, “I’ll help you deal with your family; you help me treat my mental manifestation. A contractual marriage, mutual benefit, and divorce after a year.”
With his former expertise, Zhu Ming was intrigued by the challenging condition of this mental manifestation, viewing Xi Xianqing as a very interesting experimental subject.
Zhu Ming smiled, “I’m willing to give it a try.”
After the marriage, Zhu Ming developed a special medicine, but even after months of treatment, Xi Xianqing’s grand peac0ck remained motionless.
Zhu Ming developed a new neurological therapy, yet several treatments later, the large green peac0ck still refused to shake even a single feather.
—Until a certain drinking party, a thoroughly drunk Zhu Ming smilingly looped his arm around Xi Xianqing’s neck and planted a warm, loud kiss on him in front of everyone.
After sobering up, Zhu Ming had a splitting headache: “…Sorry, I’m so bad at drinking.”
Xi Xianqing was silent for a long time, finally leaving him with a sentence, “Next time, be mindful of your alcohol tolerance,” before walking away.
Zhu Ming cursed himself for crossing the line.
However, he sighed and glanced out the window, catching sight of an expressionless Xi Xianqing standing in the garden below.
—And right behind him, the green peac0ck was frantically spreading its tail.
