Chapter 17 The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest Place
"What?! You want me to live here? And you're going to livestream him 24/7?!"
Spicy Lily is holding a selfie stick, her mouth wide open enough to fit an egg.
She originally came here to ride the wave of popularity.
After Lin Wan'er's "pig face therapy" became popular, as the first internet celebrity to "check in" at Dr. Wang's clinic, her number of fans also skyrocketed.
She was thinking of shooting some more footage, but unexpectedly, Wang Minyu conscripted her.
Inside the shop, Chen Mo, who had just finished pouring out his inner pain, suddenly broke down again when he saw so many women appear at the door, especially Lala Lily's eye-catching pink hair.
"Ah—!" He let out a terrified scream, clutching his head and trying to shrink back into the corner.
"Sit still!" Wang Minyu's voice wasn't loud, but it struck Chen Mo's heart like a heavy hammer.
Chen Mo's body stiffened, and he actually dared not move.
"Dr. Wang! What are you doing?" The butler squeezed through the crowd, his face ashen. "Our young master is terrified of cameras and women. You're making him be filmed by a female anchor 24/7? Are you trying to kill him?"
"Yes, I want him to 'die'." Wang Minyu looked at the butler, his eyes eerily calm. "Only by 'dying' once can one be reborn."
He turned to Lala Lily, ignoring her bewildered expression, and continued, "Didn't you want to create some bizarre content? The first 'Complete Record of Gynophobia Recovery' live stream on the entire internet, is that topic explosive enough? You'll stay in the small cubicle behind me, all-inclusive, and I won't take a single penny of the live stream tips, it's all yours."
Spicy Lily's eyes lit up instantly.
Exclusive to the entire internet! If this is done well, forget 100,000 followers, even a million followers wouldn't be a dream!
"Sure!" she agreed without hesitation. "I'm fine with anything, even a tent, let alone a cubicle!"
"But..." She glanced at Chen Mo, who was trembling in the shop, "Won't he have a relapse if I get close to him like this?"
"Yes," Wang Minyu said. "Therefore, you must maintain a safe distance of five meters from each other. You cannot initiate conversation with him, and there can be no physical contact. Your task is simply to record."
He then looked at the reporters and crowd at the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can watch the show, but only from outside the shop. Anyone who dares to rush in or harass the patients with flash photography, don't blame me for being ruthless with my silver needles."
He brandished the gleaming silver needle in his hand, and everyone instinctively took a step back.
The butler wanted to say something more, but seeing that Chen Mo, though frightened, didn't immediately go into shock as before, he began to have doubts. Could this young man's method really be different from others?
He could only step aside, take out his phone, and report the situation to Chen Wanshan.
Thus, an extremely bizarre scene was formed.
Inside Renxin Pharmacy, Wang Minyu sat leisurely behind the counter, sipping tea. Chen Mo sat stiffly in a chair like a statue. Five meters away, Lala Li set up several cameras, broadcasting live from all angles.
The area outside the pharmacy was packed with people, as if they were watching some kind of rare animal exhibition.
The chat in the live stream was going crazy.
[What kind of incredible feat is this? Using live streaming to treat illness?]
This guy is so handsome, it's a shame he's sick...
[Lalali is amazing! She actually took this job! War correspondent of the year!]
I bet this guy will go crazy in a week.
On the first day, Chen Mo barely moved.
He was like a frightened hedgehog, completely shutting himself off.
He neither eats nor drinks, and remains silent.
Wang Minyu ignored him, ate his own meal when it was time, placed the food in front of Chen Mo after he finished eating, and then went to read or organize medicinal herbs.
Spicy Lily diligently live-streamed all of this.
Her live stream title was "Watching the first day of the guy with gynophobia: Will he break down?"
The pharmacy closes at night.
Mr. Liu went home, leaving only three people in the shop.
Wang Minyu gave the cot to Lala Li and casually put together a few first-aid kits, intending to make do for the night.
"Um... isn't he sleeping?" Spicy asked softly, pointing to Chen Mo who was still sitting in the chair.
"He's afraid to sleep." Wang Minyu said without looking up. "He's afraid that if he falls asleep, you'll get close to him."
"Then what should I do?"
"You can go to sleep."
Spicy Lily pouted and squeezed into the small but fairly clean cubicle.
Late at night, Chen Mo was exhausted and hungry, his eyelids feeling like they were filled with lead.
He almost fell asleep several times, but every time he saw the light from a cell phone shining through the door of Lala's cubicle not far away, he would be jolted awake.
He felt he was nearing his limit.
Just then, Wang Minyu walked over and placed a glass of warm water and a small piece of bread in front of him.
"Eat up," Wang Minyu said. "If you don't eat or sleep tonight, I'll have ten female anchors surround you and do a live stream tomorrow."
Chen Mo shuddered.
Looking at Wang Minyu's expressionless face, he felt for the first time a fear even stronger than his fear of women...
With trembling hands, he picked up the bread and wolfed it down.
The next day, the number of viewers in Lala Li's live stream exceeded 500,000.
Everyone wanted to see how this guy with gynophobia fared.
Chen Mo was still sitting there, but he was in better condition than yesterday.
He at least started drinking water and eating the food Wang Minyu gave him.
He remained silent, but his eyes began to unconsciously and furtively glance at Lala Lee, who was five meters away.
He discovered that this pink-haired woman wasn't so scary after all.
She spends most of her time talking to her phone, occasionally gesturing wildly or letting out strange laughter.
She makes a lot of noise when she eats, and she also gulps down water.
She was noisy and unruly, completely different from the elegant and hypocritical women he had known since childhood.
On the third day, something unexpected happened.
In the afternoon, a drunk man stormed into the pharmacy and made lewd remarks to Spicy Lily, who was live-streaming.
"Little sister, you're quite pretty. Want to have a drink with me?"
Spicy Lily was startled and backed away.
Wang Minyu was preparing the medicine in the back and didn't have time to come out.
Just as the drunkard was about to make a move on Spicy Lily, Chen Mo, who had been standing like a wooden statue, suddenly stood up from his chair.
He didn't know where he got the courage, but he grabbed a broom from beside him and rushed towards the drunkard.
"Don't... touch her!" he roared in a hoarse voice, uttering his first words in three days.
The entire audience, including the millions of viewers in the live stream, were stunned.
A man who would faint if a woman got within three meters of him actually launched an attack to protect a female anchor he had only known for three days.
The drunkard was stunned by the sudden turn of events. Before he could react, Chen Mo beat him with a broom, and he ran out crying and screaming.
Chen Mo threw down the broom, stood there, and gasped for breath.
He was stunned.
What...what did I just do? I protected a woman?
He glanced at Saliva instinctively.
Eyes facing each other.
Lala looked at him, her eyes no longer filled with the teasing and curiosity of before, but with a hint of surprise and...感动.
Chen Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He discovered that he was not having a seizure. There were no convulsions, and no difficulty breathing.
He just felt... his face was a little hot.
"Ahem." Wang Minyu walked out from behind, breaking the strange atmosphere.
He walked up to Chen Mo and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good. The second step of treatment, 'establishing a protective instinct to cover up the fear,' is complete."
He turned to Saliva, who was looking at him with adoration.
"The third step in the treatment will begin tomorrow. You will teach him how to play Honor of Kings."
