Xiang Yi Mo decided to take advantage of the situation of being tripped by someone. Then, she also asked the system, Xiao Qi, for more information about Ji Heng Yu before falling into Ji Heng Yu’s arms.
Thus, as she was about to collapse, the child-like voice of the system entered her ears and casually mentioned,
「Oh right, Ji Heng Yu suffers from gynophobia. 」
And the cause of gynophobia was—
When Ji Heng Yu was young, his unreliable uncle took the child to a nightclub. But he ended up having so much fun that he accidentally forgot about the child.
So, at a young age, Ji Heng Yu, who had beautiful skin, was surrounded and “ravished” by a group of big sisters.
But obviously, at that time, Mother Ji jokingly said that his little man should practise male virtues and could not tolerate being around beauties.
He warned them with a very noble and icy voice, “Don’t touch me! Mummy said….”
The big sisters listened to the child speaking like an adult, with a serious tiny face, and only felt that he was more and more adorable.
They kissed and hugged the child, and their actions were more unrestrained.
How could the little child compete with the big sisters? He was “molested” in several ways by many people.
Although the unrestrained uncle remembered him and rescued Ji Heng Yu from the deep water and scorching fire of the Pansi cave, <sup>[1]</sup> that day still traumatised the child.
After the child returned, he washed his little hands and face until they turned red. He cried inwardly and said that he was not clean anymore.
However, due to his cold and taciturn personality, the child did not take the initiative to say that he was not feeling well. His family was always busy and did not notice anything wrong with him.
As a result, adults failed to provide timely guidance to the child.
As the child appeared on various social occasions, he saw a lot of young and older women rushing like ducks toward him. <sup>[2]</sup>
So much so that it was too late when they found that when Ji Heng Yu saw women, it was as if he was in contact with some kind of bacteria.
Xiang Yi Mo’s heart fell. Xiao Qi! System! This is such important information! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!
Actually, although Ji Heng Hu’s gynophobia was a secret, the only person that knew about this other than the three persons, Ji Heng Yu’s parents and the uncle, who indirectly caused him to suffer gynophobia, was Lu Wang Chen’s sister.
As for why they didn’t tell Xiang Yi Mo…
At first, Qin Chu intended to tell her when he often brought little Xiang Yi Mo to see the three.
After all, he feared it would offend Ji Heng Yu or that Ji Heng Yu’s subconscious avoidance actions would make the little girl sad.
But in the end, who would have expected that these two people did not care about one another?
So later on, everyone gradually forgot about this matter.
However, now it was too late to say anything.
Xiang Yi Mo was so sorrowful that she was unable to produce tears even though she wanted to cry.
In the next breath, she fell steadily into the arms of a fresh, light, woody fragrance.
Ji Heng Yu felt a soft thing in his arms. He seemed to have not realised what was wrong and only thought about how to address the little girl.
He spoke before his brain could move.
He asked indifferently, “Mo Mo, are you okay?”
Xiang Yi Mo’s body jolted. She was afraid to hear the sound of the Love Value decreasing. Her body was still unsteady and quickly bounced up.
The soft body left Ji Heng Yu’s embrace and nodded her head to thank him. “I’m fine. I’m fine.”
Before giving Ji Heng Yu time to react, Xiang Yi Mo dashed straight into the elevator like a gust of wind, as if she was trying to escape, bringing the sudden farce to a sudden halt.
Ji Heng Yu froze and raised his eyes in the direction where Xiang Yi Mo had disappeared. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly.
The arm that was frozen in mid-air dropped, and the fingers rubbed against each other twice. He subconsciously recalled that he had just touched her hands. The tender touch that remained on the fingertips was so tiny that it would soon disappear.
Just now, he clearly touched Mo Mo but did not have any discomfort. Is it an illusion?
Or…
His gynophobia is cured?
<sup>[1]</sup> 盘丝洞(pán sī dòng)- Pansi Cave is the name of a location that appeared in the 72nd chapter of Journey to the West, one of China’s four masterpieces. In this episode, four Tang monks and apprentices met seven beautiful women that were spider demons on their journey to the west. Zhu Bajie was beguiled and captured, and Tang Seng was also deceived into the Pansi Cave to face the disaster of killing himself. In the end, the Monkey King rescued them. This embodied the idea of “discipline” in Buddhism and illustrates the deep meaning of extricating oneself from the bewitching Seven Emotions, and to practise Buddhist monastic discipline but not to lose oneself in it.
<sup>[2]</sup> 趋之若鹜(qūzhīruòwù)- Rushing like ducks/the mob scrabbles madly for something unattainable/ un unruly crowd on a wild goose chase.
