But what should Qiong say? She was originally planning to let March 7 go for now, but unexpectedly, she came to her doorstep.

There was no other way. Suddenly, Qiong reached out and pushed the back of March 7's head. The latter was so surprised that he wanted to scream, but could only make a whimpering sound.

She wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound. The only thing she could do was move her tongue. As for her teeth? She really didn't dare to use them.

Although what Qiong did was indeed excessive, she didn't want to hurt the other party.

But as expected of March 7th, she initially thought that Qiong had not yet woken up and thought she should maintain this state for a while.

But after a long time, I realized that I still couldn't break free, and that's when I found out.

'So this guy was already awake!'

March 7th felt ashamed and indignant. She thought that since she had been discovered, she should just get up and make things clear, but Qiong obviously didn't mean that.

Every time she tried to struggle, Qiong would push her back, and she even gradually developed a rhythm to match her movements.

March 7th: ?

She realized the problem, but since things had come to this point, she simply stopped resisting.

Although it felt a bit unpleasant, it wasn't unbearable until my throat was filled with a mouthful of air.

On March 7th, he couldn't care less about anything else. He sat up, coughed violently a few times, and gagged a few times, but he couldn't vomit up what he had swallowed.

"Ugh! Cough cough cough...! You! Are you trying to choke me to death so you can inherit my fortune?"

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that March is so cute, and besides, how could I possibly resist in that state? And it's not entirely my fault, is it?"

As Qiong spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips. Upon seeing this, March 7's face immediately turned red, and she even became somewhat incoherent.

"I... I just glanced at it... Besides, you're not at a disadvantage. I'm the one who's at a disadvantage!"

"Sigh, but I was the one who got eaten!"

"You! If you dare utter another word, I'll... I'll ignore you for a week!"

With such a firm promise on March 7th, Qiong could only offer words of comfort. He understood that the other party was mainly just shy, and that's why she wasn't angry at all about being taken advantage of.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but when he did that, he clearly felt a chill down his back, as if he were being watched by something.

Nothing unusual happened the following night, and I rested until dawn.

Early the next morning.

The first thing March 7 saw when she woke up was Qiong's face. It has to be said that at this moment, her exquisite and handsome features were truly pleasing to the eye.

"The premise is that we should be serious."

"Hmm, what did you say?"

Qiong happened to wake up at that moment, and March 7 quickly changed his tune, saying that he hadn't said anything.

"Right, it's already morning now, we need to get up quickly, we can't keep Danheng waiting."

Today, March 7th, I was planning to go back to the train first, so I decided to get up early. I immediately reached out and pushed Qiong, signaling her to let go of me.

The latter was originally planning to do so, but looking at the three months in front of him, he suddenly had another idea.

"March, are you hungry now?"

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"uh-huh."

Qiong revealed a malicious smile. Seeing this, San Yueqi had a bad feeling, but now she couldn't escape.

Shortly after, in the bathroom of the Goethe Hotel.

"vomit!"

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it? Besides, what could you possibly vomit up like that?"

Seeing March lying by the pool, constantly dry heaving, Qiong went over and gently patted her back. After a while, she turned around and looked at him with some anger.

"It's not because of that... I just have a sore throat!"

It's obvious that the Monkey King overdid it again, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Fortunately, March is much more forgiving than the Black Tower.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

"Humph!"

March 7th pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. She just felt that they had only confirmed their relationship yesterday, and they had already gone this far today. Was it a bit too fast?

But this doubt only lasted for a short time.

He returned to the train shortly after, on March 7, while Dan Heng continued to collect data locally, thinking about expanding the think tank.

As for Qiong, he originally wanted to go back with March 7, but at that moment, he received a message from Oleg.

The other party came because of Natasha's situation. They heard that she was in the lower district and hadn't slept for several days because she was taking care of patients.

Since Qiong and Natasha had a fairly good relationship and had been able to withstand such jokes before, she thought of asking him to check on the other party's situation.

Qiong readily agreed, and when he arrived at the clinic in the lower city, Natasha was there as well.

Chapter 49 Cocolia: It's all resolved, Master...

"You've come at the right time, Qiong. I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

When Natasha saw Qiong arrive, she gave a somewhat tired smile, and then expressed her concern because many patients had not come for follow-up visits recently.

"...Have you heard of the 'Support Group for Patients with Complex and Severe Illnesses'?"

"It sounds like a non-profit organization."

Qiong answered in this way, but the actual situation was definitely not that simple, and after hearing Natasha's description, it seemed even more suspicious.

Natasha wants to send Sora to pretend to be a patient and join the support group to investigate the situation.

"May I entrust this task to you, Qiong?"

"You know I never refuse your requests."

Seeing how decisively Qiong accepted the commission, and how her words made Natasha smile slightly, her face flushing slightly.

"Natasha's current favorability rating is 60%."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Qiong. I'll thank you properly when you get back."

It's unclear when it started, but Natasha's tone towards Sora became somewhat doting, or perhaps it was like that from their very first meeting.

After all, in a sense, Sora is still just a child.

Without further ado, he began his investigation. The reasons why the patients didn't come for follow-up appointments were varied and bizarre, but from this he learned about a doctor named Vah, who was even Natasha's brother.

It's a pity that the doctor seems to have passed away, but the "miracle drug" he developed is still being sold.

This was the first time Qiong had seen such a complicated expression on her face, and at the same time, she became certain that the organization that could sell this kind of medicine was definitely not some kind of "mutual aid society".

"Thank you, Qiong. Even though those people said many things that were bad for me, you still trusted me so much."

Natasha's tone was both gratified and touched, and she subconsciously reached out to touch Qiong's head.

Although it feels pretty good.

But being treated like a passive child is not what Qiong wants. She'll just make a note of it for now and express her opinion later.

Natasha didn't know how to express her thoughts to Sora about Vah, but she wanted to know what Sora had learned from the opinions she heard elsewhere.

To be honest, I don't know what to say, since that Dr. Vah sounds like he has schizophrenia.

Natasha then took him to see another patient, a victim of the "miracle drug".

The woman was mentally unstable, even somewhat insane, while her husband and children died after using the "miracle drug."

After this exchange, Qiong understood the nature of this so-called "miracle drug," even though it had already been obvious for a long time.

Both Wach and the Mutual Aid Society were adept at understanding the psychology of the lower classes and how to get them to cooperate with their experiments.

But Wach was once a doctor who wanted to develop a cold-resistant drug, and lacking test subjects, he eventually set his sights on the lower zones.

They contacted Natasha, ostensibly to support medical work in the lower districts, and initiated human trials of the drug.

However, these drugs cannot cure the disease; they can only make people forget the pain. Mild cases can recover, but severe cases will only have their condition worsen as a result.

"So, I'd like to formally entrust you with the task of retrieving those 'special medicines.' Are you willing to take on this mission?"

Natasha's sorrowful face revealed a pleading expression, her beautiful eyes blinking gently; it was truly hard to refuse such a beautiful woman's request.

"Yes, someone has to step up and do the right thing."

Qiong accepted the commission, and Natasha breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Thank you, Sora."

This may cause distress to some patients who have become dependent on the "miracle drug," but someone must shatter their "false hope."

Qiong originally planned to pretend to be a patient going to buy medicine and try to sneak in, but she was recognized as soon as she got to the door.

There's no other way; since that's the case, we'll have to resort to force. Fortunately, Qiong is quite skilled in this area, so it's a good opportunity to try out her new ability.

"Come forth, my summoned beast!"

Suddenly, Qiong raised one hand, and with his voice, ice and snow, seemingly appearing from nowhere, gradually gathered in front of him to form a figure.

This is Cocolia in her battle form, and in this appearance, she doesn't need to worry about anyone recognizing her.

"It's a monster!"

Upon seeing Cocolia's appearance, the guards were terrified, and Cocolia herself was naturally displeased at being addressed in such a manner.

Although she didn't kill them outright, she still knocked all the guards unconscious, and judging from the bumps on their heads, the blows were probably quite severe.

"It's all been resolved, Master... Master."

Cocolia spoke awkwardly, seemingly not quite used to the title. Sora nodded and reached out to pat her head.

The headdress covered in icicles was a bit hard to touch, and besides, this action made Cocolia feel strange, so she subconsciously pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Even if she blushes, you can't tell she's in this state.

"Thanks, now go back to what you were doing."

After saying that, Qiong sent Cocolia back. His actions just now were mainly to test out his new ability; otherwise, he could have easily dealt with these guards on his own.

"Found it! These must be that miracle drug, right?"

Qiong looked at the messy storage boxes in the alley, and the test reagents placed inside according to the experiment numbers.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from behind...

The visitor was the president of this mutual aid association, but his identity was not important; he had only one purpose for coming.

"With my 'mutual aid group' helping her take on those desperate patients, shouldn't your doctor be thanking me?"

“My family… While you’re quite eloquent, I don’t agree with your views! Natasha will not abandon any patient—and certainly won’t tolerate a fraud like you!”

As Qiong spoke, she held a baseball bat in her left hand and a long gun in her right, and without saying a word, she easily took down all the enemies opposite her.

"Damn it... What grudge do we have against you? Why are you blocking our path to wealth...?"

"...'A way to make money'? So you've admitted it too? You're doing this just to make money, not to save patients' lives."

Natasha's voice suddenly came, and then she was seen walking in from the alley. I don't know when she arrived.

If it had happened even earlier, wouldn't that conversation have been overheard? Thinking about it makes me a little embarrassed.

Chapter Fifty: Soft and Chewy Brown Sugar Chocolate Pudding

Natasha didn't do anything to the head of the mutual aid society, since her main goal was to get rid of the potions left behind by her brother.

“Let’s go back to town. I still owe those patients an explanation…”

Since Seele and Oleg went to the Upper City, Natasha has had no reliable helpers by her side. Now, the only one she can rely on is Sora.

When Natasha returned to the clinic and told the patients that the special medicine had been seized, it naturally caused quite a stir.

Some people doubted Natasha's actions and even made slanderous remarks. To be honest, if Seele had seen this, she would definitely have given that guy a hard time.

Qiong wanted to teach that guy a lesson, but Natasha was still there, so she had to give up for the time being.

After seeing off all the patients, Natasha's usually calm face once again showed worry. She put her hand to her forehead and sat down in a chair in the corner of the clinic, looking distressed.

"Natasha?"

"Ah...you're here, Sora. I'm sorry you saw that embarrassing scene."
