Chapter 167 Hello? Young Master...

Rong Zhihuan was both flattered and taken aback; that tyrannical young master of the Zhan family rarely used such polite phrasing.

He stepped out of the grand hall and made his way to the quiet resting room in the side parlor.

He dialed Zhan Sue’s number and asked, "Young Master, what can I do for you? Is something wrong with your health?"

On the other end of the line, Zhan Sue hesitated for a moment, finding it somewhat difficult to speak. "No, it's just... I wanted to ask, under what circumstances would physical contact between a man and a woman cause a spark of static electricity?"

The heavy anxiety Rong Zhihuan had felt after checking the old master's pulse was considerably lightened by Zhan Sue's question.

"Young Master, experiencing a shock like that is a special yet completely normal psychological experience during adolescence. It is the awakening of sexual consciousness triggered by physiological maturity, and it's a reactive process of the brain and nervous system to the external environment. The sound, light, color, scent, mechanical stimuli, and other elements related to the opposite sex in the surrounding environment are received by various receptors formed by the nerve endings..."

"Are you reciting a textbook? Do you think sexual impulse applies to me?" Zhan Sue interrupted him coldly.

Rong Zhihuan adopted a serious tone. "Young Master, don't dodge the question. Is it possible you have this feeling of electric shock with some woman?"

"Every time I touch that nobody, a strange electric sensation is produced."

Since it involved Zhan Sue, the most likely explanation Rong Zhihuan could think of was static electricity. "Could it be static interference?"

"Static electricity has been ruled out." Zhan Sue pondered for a moment. One instance was when their fingers brushed, and another was when their lips touched; those two areas frequently produced a strong electric shock sensation.

Everything else was fine.

Rong Zhihuan paused. "Young Master, hold on a moment. Let me consult our old master; he happens to be here today."

Five minutes later.

Rong Zhihuan returned to the side parlor resting room and called Zhan Sue back.

"Young Master, our old master says this is a good thing! The sparks generated when you touch each other can actually cure your allergy to women. He suggests you touch more often. There is even historical precedent for this in ancient texts—a sort of electrotherapy..."

"..."

"Young Master, sir? The old master is very interested. He wants to know if there's a chance to meet this Miss Shi, and perhaps even capture the current generated between you two for other potential uses."

"You're overthinking it. There's nothing to see!"

"Young Master? Hello? Young Master..."

Beep, beep, beep—the call had already been hung up on the other end.

The atmosphere was equally bustling and heated.

Shi Qingqing took a look and thought, *Oh? The school is about crack down and ban this?*

*In that case, it looks like I might as well fleece the sheep completely today? No need to hold back?*

*Young friend, go ahead and fleece them boldly!*

Hehe.

She opened the QQ interface on her phone.

"Your friend Beep-beep-beep is distributing a personal red packet. Do you wish to intercept and claim it?"
