Chapter 169: Wronged Him
Su Miantang straightened her clothes, got off the bed, and stood on the attic balcony. Spotting Amy standing far off by the riverbank, she walked over.
Hearing her footsteps, Amy swiftly turned her head. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Miss Su, I didn’t mean to intentionally interrupt you guys just now!”
“Ah, no, you misunderstood!”
She hurriedly waved her hands.
“How could I misunderstand? Brother Sen has always been incredibly aloof. He has zero interest in beauty, and even less in females. He wouldn’t even spare them an extra glance, let alone acting like he did just now…”
Pinned to the bed.
Held in his arms.
That gaze filled with thick, overflowing affection, that possessive posture—it looked as if he wanted to devour her alive. It was something she had never seen before; it felt completely foreign to her.
Being interrupted, a trace of displeasure had even flashed across his brow.
Even though the person interrupting was her.
“…”
Hearing “aloof,” “zero interest in beauty,” and “wouldn’t spare them an extra glance,” Su Miantang seriously doubted if they were talking about the same person.
“The Brother Sen you’re talking about, is it Tenleson?”
“Yes.”
“…”
Then how come he was absolutely nothing like the person she knew?
“Are you close with him?”
“Of course, we grew up together since we were kids. It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a few years.” As she spoke, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed through her eyes. “It’s exactly because I know him so well that I realize how perfectly you two match. He is an S-grade male, and just now, I sensed that your pheromones are incredibly dense and powerful. You must be at least an S-grade, or even higher!”
“You’ve truly misunderstood. I am a researcher at the Academy of Sciences. Because some children in Central City were poisoned by snake venom, and their parents sought help from the Academy, I went to the prison to draw his blood, hoping to help those children. We only met very recently.”
“Prison?”
She knew he was in prison?
Hearing this, Amy instantly grew anxious. Assuming Su Miantang was looking down on him, she hurriedly explained.
“Miss Su, you absolutely must not misunderstand! Brother Sen is a good person. The reason he is in prison… is due to unavoidable circumstances.”
“Unavoidable circumstances?” Su Miantang asked curiously. “What unavoidable circumstances?”
Since Amy had grown up with him since childhood, she definitely knew many things about him. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Who knows, she might be able to find a good method for a secondary blood extraction through this.
“He…”
“Amy, could you tell me about Tenleson?”
Amy lifted her head, looking at her with a resolute gaze. “Mhm.”
She was her “savior” who had pulled her out of the abyss, and also the person Brother Sen liked. She was willing to tell her.
“Then Miss Su, please sit down.”
She sat down on a nearby bench, slowly recounting the story.
“Actually, Brother Sen is just like the children in the courtyard, adopted by Great-grandfather. The difference is, he is a person from Planet X.
I remember Great-grandfather saying that on a winter morning, he heard crying by the river. When he walked over, he found a baby lying inside a cardboard box, and the box was painted with the flag of Planet X.
Although Planet X and the Central Star have been mortal enemies for years, the infant was innocent after all. Great-grandfather is kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to watch him freeze to death, so he brought him home.
He was raised smoothly until the age of 8. For some unknown reason, his identity was suddenly leaked, and overnight, everyone knew he was from Planet X.
Before that, Brother Sen had always believed he was a Central Star citizen and loved this planet deeply. I remember he even taught our batch of kids to sing the national anthem and draw the national emblem.
But from then on, his household registration was revoked, his identity was destroyed, and no matter where he went, he was discriminated against, bullied, and insulted.
Every day, high-grade males would block the front door. They cursed him as a ‘stinkbug,’ ‘mud,’ ‘lowly breed,’ and ‘Planet X scum,’ exhausting all the ugliest words in the world. They would also gang up on him and attack him with weapons, wishing they could beat him to death.
His temperament gradually became closed-off, icy, and violent, and he even began to harbor resentment toward this planet.
Females were slightly better. They lived privileged lives and either didn’t see or couldn’t be bothered with these matters. But as Brother Sen grew up, they lusted after his looks. When they couldn’t have him, they utilized their pheromones to suppress and torture him. This led him to despise them intensely, and he has never allowed females near him since.”
So that was it.
A trace of astonishment flashed through Su Miantang’s eyes.
No wonder he detested Central Star citizens so intensely, detested females so intensely, said so many awful things, and even interrogated her about why she didn’t utilize her pheromones to suppress him. It turned out he had experienced all of this.
“Although his life had always been trapped in filthy mud, Brother Sen stubbornly pushed through it all. What truly changed him was an incredibly cruel event that occurred a few years ago.
Brother Sen is incredibly brilliant, possessing an exceptionally rational mind and a keen sense of smell. From a young age, he aspired to be a resource prospector. At the age of eighteen, he astonishingly differentiated from a B-grade male into an S-grade male, and the doctor said there was still the possibility of him continuing to differentiate into a top-tier SS-grade combat male.
We were all so happy when we heard the news, thinking that from then on, he would never be bullied again. But who could have predicted that that night, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared out of thin air in our small courtyard. They held Great-grandfather hostage, subdued Brother Sen, and used daggers… to forcibly gouge out his gland while he was alive.”
As she reached this point, as if recalling the scene, her voice couldn’t help but tremble.
Su Miantang also felt chills running down her spine.
Her guess was right. His gland really had been dug out, which was why he was entirely immune to her pheromones.
Her mind was filled with Professor Mo Jin’s words regarding the extreme agony and severe consequences of a beastman having their gland dug out. She suddenly felt a pang of guilt…
She shouldn’t have cursed him as a rogue. If he hadn’t experienced all of this, he would currently be an exceptionally outstanding individual, rather than a maximum-security convict.
“Amy, do you know who the people who dug out his gland were?”
“I don’t know.”
Amy shook her head.
“I only know that the leader was a man named Kui’ang, who claimed to be sent by the Central Star government, stating that they would absolutely not allow Planet X to differentiate an SS-grade male, and he cursed a lot of foul words.
Right, the courtyard security camera captured half of his face, but it hasn’t been of much use.
These past few years, Brother Sen has been searching for them relentlessly, killing almost all of his accomplices. Yet he hasn’t been able to pry a single shred of information about the mastermind from their mouths, nor has he located Kui’ang.
His incarceration was also to dig up information about him.”
Kui’ang?
“Could you give me his photo?”
“Of course, but Miss Su, what do you need it for?”
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I know quite a few people at the Academy of Sciences. I might be able to help ask around.”
“That would be wonderful! Let’s exchange optical computer contacts?”
“Sure.”
After adding each other on the optical computer, Su Miantang looked at her. “Are you also an adopted child of Grandpa?”
“I’m not. I’m Great-grandfather’s biological great-granddaughter.”
“Then…”
“I know what Miss Su wants to ask. The Empire’s protection of females has always been paramount, but I like it here and I can’t bear to leave Grandpa, so I refuse to leave. Don’t let the dilapidated appearance of the houses fool you; we actually live very comfortably. The money Brother Sen wired back once is enough to cover our expenses for a lifetime. So as Great-grandfather gets older, he’s actually adopting more and more children.”
As she spoke, realizing something, she hurriedly explained.
“Please don’t misunderstand. Brother Sen’s money was obtained entirely through legitimate channels. He helped a resource prospecting agency locate an energy mine!”
“I know.”
Su Miantang nodded her head. She looked at the man not far away, who had been forcefully tied into an apron by the old man and pinned inside the kitchen, getting scolded while simultaneously chopping fruit. The scene was so jarringly incongruous it was somewhat hilarious.
“I want to play with the pretty sister!”
“I want to play with the pretty sister too!”
In the courtyard, after a group of children realized Su Miantang wasn’t a bad person and had even helped Amy restore her face, they all revealed their true nature, pestering and clamoring to play with her.
“Then let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to play with the pretty sister first!”
“Alright!”
While two kids were fiercely competing, Tenleson suddenly walked over carrying a platter of fruit.
The two looked up simultaneously. “Brother Sen, why are you cutting in line?”
“Because…” He curled his thin lips, looking toward the young girl. “I want to play with the pretty sister too.”
Su Miantang: “?”
Crack. The favorable filter she had just accumulated completely shattered. While calling him a rogue and despicable might have wronged him, he was absolutely a hooligan!
