After getting into the car, the man's sister started staring at Kui Mei. She knew Catherine was a good person, and logically, Catherine's friends shouldn't be bad people either, but this guy just seemed a bit strange.
When she got off the bus, her face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed her brother's hand, refusing to get off.
"He...he's a zombie!"
The man immediately looked at Catherine and Kui Mei with suspicion.
"So what if there are zombies? Forget it, if you don't trust me, just leave. Anyway, you rescued your sister, so that settles the score." Catherine originally wanted to explain and argue a bit, but after seeing their expressions, she suddenly gave up and turned to walk back.
What's there to explain? She's Catherine, the Queen of the Black Medicine. If she doesn't like someone, she'll just throw her scalpel at them. Why waste time getting angry with them?
When I got to the door, I glanced back and saw that only Kui Mei was following me.
"Why did you follow me?" Catherine stretched out her leg, leaned against the door frame, and blocked the door.
"Let me look at you more often."
Why are you looking at me?
"nice."
"Even if it's pretty, I won't let you see it. Go back to where you came from." Catherine waved her hand, coaxing him to leave.
Kui Mei lifted his long leg and stepped over her leg.
"Hey! This is my house! Did I let you in? Are you being unreasonable?!"
After entering the house, Kui Mei first went to the refrigerator and got her some chilled fruit wine.
"I'm not drinking it, it's expired." Catherine brushed his hand away, looking extremely disgusted.
"It's not expired, it's new."
"You bought this?" Catherine took it and checked the date; it really was a recent date.
Where did you get the money?
"Get your salary from Si Yue."
"You really did pay Si Yue? How much does he make you a month?"
"Three thousand."
"You don't eat, drink, buy a house, or buy a car, yet you still have quite a bit left over. But if you don't eat, drink, buy a house, or buy a car, what do you need money for?"
"I'll buy you some food."
“I don’t need your money,” Catherine scoffed.
Kui Mei didn't say anything, but peeled another orange for her.
Catherine's inexplicable anger flared up again.
"What are you doing? Trying to please me?"
"yes."
"What do you want from me by trying to please me?"
"I didn't expect to get anything."
"Kui Mei, you're really something. Don't you want to stay away from me? Otherwise, I'll make you fly every time I see you. Next time, it won't just be a blur." Catherine couldn't hold back her anger and threw all the scalpels she could find, which clattered and scraped against Kui Mei's body before embedding themselves in the wall behind him.
Kui Mei glanced at her twice, then obediently took the trash and left.
"He's crazy!" None of the other mutants are as stupid as him, are they? Could it be that his brain was damaged during the mutation? She's not good at brain surgery, otherwise she would definitely have to open his skull and treat his brain.
After chasing away Kuimei, Catherine sat on the sofa and sulked for a while. Then she got up and opened the refrigerator to see what was inside.
Snacks, fruits, drinks, alcohol, and dairy products are all things she usually likes to eat.
Catherine sighed, hugged him, and went back to her room. She hadn't slept well last night, and her body and mind had long since separated.
At her age, her body can't handle even a little less sleep.
As for that bastard Kui Mei, we'll deal with her after she wakes up.
On the other side
After being coaxed away by Catherine, Kui Mei didn't rush back. He wandered around the streets for a while, observing the humans around him, before heading to find Si Yue.
He seemed to have completely forgotten how to be a human being, let alone how to interact with humans.
When a species likes someone, it directly manifests in its appetite; the more it likes someone, the more it wants to eat them. However, for some species, rather than instinctively wanting to eat them, they would rather possess them for a long time, just like how the one-eyed person would not harm children if they liked them.
Kui Mei had been hanging out with Si Yue and the others from the beginning, so she didn't know how other alien species dealt with the complicated problem of "liking someone, wanting to eat them, but then they're gone once you eat them," and she couldn't understand human emotions either.
He just wanted to see Catherine every day, every moment, to see her smile, to see her wielding a scalpel with such brilliance, to see her stomp on a cockroach and then grimace as she cleans up its corpse with toilet paper...
Everything was fine before, and he thought it would continue like this forever. Then one day, he couldn't find her anymore. They said she had gone to the north with Yan Shi to escape the summer heat.
He had thought about going to see her, but for some reason he kept putting it off.
It's just a summer retreat; we'll come back after summer, it's not like we're never coming back.
He heard from others that if you want to keep someone by your side, you have to be good to that person, so good that that person gets used to you being around.
How do you show her you're good? Buy her food and clothes, spend money on her, take her out, be there for her when she needs you, and help her solve problems instead of creating them.
Kui Mei secretly wrote it down, then left as if nothing had happened.
It's quite interesting to eavesdrop on human conversations like this.
He waited and waited, but Catherine didn't return. Finally, he received news that she had returned, but she had been captured by the aliens. By the time he found out, Catherine had already been rescued, and the plane was about to land.
He just wanted to see her more, why was that so difficult?
Kui Mei went to Si Yue's villa to see Si Yue and Yao Tang spending time together, trying to figure out what she should do next.
Si Yue found the guy quietly standing in the corner as an eyesore.
"Kui Mei."
Kui Mei stood in front of him.
“When I’m home, especially when Yao Tang is home, don’t stay where you can see us, or simply don’t show up unless I call you.”
Kui Mei nodded.
"Catherine's back, why aren't you with her?"
"She kicked me out."
"Serves him right," Si Yue said gloatingly.
Kui Mei ignored his sarcastic remarks; after all, he couldn't beat Si Yue.
"If you're free, go chat with Zhuang Zhao. Yan Shi is also an option; one's shrewd, the other's kind-hearted. They can probably help you solve some problems." Si Yue, too lazy to get involved himself, simply pushed the trouble onto others.
Kui Mei realized that Catherine had gone to Yan Shi's hometown to escape the summer heat, which meant that she and Yan Shi had a good relationship. She could go and ask her about it.
"Anyway, Catherine's temper is no joke...she ran away really fast." Si Yue hadn't finished speaking when he realized she was gone.
Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao happily carried the twins home, but before they could even settle in, Kui Mei arrived.
Yan Shi thought he had come to see Zhuang Zhao, since Zhuang Zhao had often asked him to discuss puppetry. Just as she was about to take the child back to her room to rest, she heard Kui Mei call her back.
"I want to ask about Catherine."
"What's wrong with Catherine?"
Kui Mei frankly told Yan Shi about her troubles.
Yan Shi blinked. So this was the other end of Catherine's red thread. It was truly unexpected.
The fact that Su Meiren betrayed her family and had a child with a different species back then was enough to shock her for a hundred years. Now, it's not so hard for Catherine to accept that she likes Kui Mei. After all, Kui Mei is an old acquaintance, unlike other different species.
But what does Catherine like about Kuimei? She likes him so much that red threads are even showing.
However, since Catherine genuinely likes him, and Kuimei wants to stay by Catherine's side, it would be really unfair of her not to lend a hand.
“Alright, I’ll take care of it. I’ll think about it for a couple of days and contact you when I’ve made up my mind,” Yan Shi assured Kui Mei.
