I wouldn’t get stronger even if I got bald
“Ha ha, I didn’t mean to ask you to become a monk . You don’t need to protect your hair so fast . ” Yu Hui probably found my movements of covering my head funny . Then she giggled with her hands covering her mouth and said that .
“I don’t? Oh, I understand now . I only need to study the Buddhist doctrine . . . But I don’t know anything of that . It’s impossible for me to understand those abstruse things, not to mention that it is written in Sanskrit which I don’t even know how to pronounce . ” To be honest, I knew I was not a clever person . I could force myself to memorize things mechanically but comprehending the Buddhist doctrine was a whole other level for me . It was too hard .
“I know it is difficult for you to understand those Buddhist texts . So I won’t teach you the complicated ones, only one of the practical Buddhist doctrines which called ‘Counting Spell’ . You don’t even have to read any obscure texts . There’s only one thing you need to do . ”
“Counting Spell?” I had never heard of it .
But it was good to know that it was easy .
“You only need to count one to a hundred in your heart . But there are two restrictions . The first restriction is that you have to pause three seconds every time after you count a number . The second one is that you cannot think of anything else during the counting . If you violate any of the restrictions, you’ll have to start over until you finish counting a hundred numbers . ”
“Sounds pretty simply . Will it really work on my evil thoughts?” It never occurred to me that the solution would be that ‘ordinary’ . So I asked Yu Hui doubtfully with my eyebrows raised .
Yu Hui answered me with a smile, “Just have a try . ”
“I see, I’ll do it now . ” This spell might really have some magical effect . Perhaps Yu Hui would do something to me when I counted .
So I decided to have a try .
I closed my eyes and started to count from one to a hundred .
One, two . . . Ah, I forgot, I should have paused for three seconds . Then I started over again .
. . . , . . . , . . . I didn’t know if I had paused for three seconds or not . The time interval was really hard to control . Well, I guessed I would have to start again .
. . . Seventeen . . . Well, where was I?
Eh . . .
Having tried about seven or eight times, I found myself even unable to count to twenty . So I opened my eyes and said sullenly,
“This one is harder than I thought . . . ” I did have underestimated the difficulty of this ‘Counting Spell’ .
The most difficult part was thinking about nothing but the numbers .

I considered myself a steady man and wouldn’t let my mind wander so easily . However, thinking of only the numbers was still impossible for me .
Because I needed to pause for three seconds . And that was long enough for me to think of other things . Moreover, during the procedure, I had wondered if I had already paused for three seconds enough from time to time . That also brought me back to the beginning .
It seemed that Yu Hui had already foreseen my failure . She said to me with the corner of her mouth hanged up,
“That’s why it could release you from the evil thoughts and suppress those desires . ”
“You are right . It actually worked . If I can count from one to a hundred in five minutes, I might lose all my wicked ideas . ”
As long as I counted numbers on a five minutes cycle, I would be able to control my mental state .
The thing she had taught me sounded more like a way to distract my attention . But it was a lot easier than memorizing the Buddhist texts .
What was more important was that it was quite simple so I could do it anytime .
This method suited me well because I didn’t believe that I would recall any Buddhist texts in some critical conditions .
However, there was still a defect of this method . . . “But I can only consider it as a precaution, right? What if I don’t even have the chance to count?” I asked .
Then Yu Hui nodded and answered, “If you really cannot control yourself, it’ll be hard for you to pull yourself out of that state on your own . So if you make any mistakes, I’ll take you down . So the only thing you need to do is to take great precaution . ”
“Then I’m counting on you, Yu Hui . Don’t show any mercy on me by then . Just slap me on the face . ”
“I see . ”
Now I still had to set up a standard for me . . . When should I start to do the ‘Counting Spell’?
Well, when I started to touch a girl? No, that would be too late . . . After thinking for a moment, I finally decided to close my eyes and do the spell as soon as I couldn’t help staring at the body parts of girls .
The parts which were alluring to me were boobs, butt, leg, underwear, well . . . Maybe I should also includ the back, belly, as well as . . . neck, collarbone . . .
Come on! That was too hard!
Now I had to restrain myself from wanting to look at girls’ bodies . I found that a real grind . I might just poke my eyes out . Maybe I could even explore the eighth sense by being blind .
“Puff . . . ” I didn’t want to seem too worrying . It was just there were so many girls around me lately . So I had to raise my line of defense . . . Now come to think about it, my good luck with women might be caused by my previous life .

“But casting the ‘Counting Spell’ is just a temporary measure . Don’t you have a way to eliminate my evil thoughts?”
“There is one which could get it done once and forever . . . However . . . I wouldn’t suggest you to use it . . . ”
“Hmm? What kind of method? Tell me about it . ”
After hesitating for a while, with her face turning red, Yu Hui turned her head and told me the method while pointing to my trousers, “You can also cut off that part of your body . . . ”
“ . . . ” Self-castration, that was a way to end up all my problems indeed .
However, I wouldn’t get any stronger by doing that . So I would pass that .
I was the only son of my parents; I didn’t want to die without descendants .
I was really having a headache right now . Was I about to live a monkish life . . . ?
“Don’t worry, please trust me . I’ll find a perfect solution soon!”
“Thank you so much . . . You help me every time and I don’t even know what to say . Is there anything I can do for you? Don’t mind, just say it . As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely satisfy you . ”
I always paid back to the people who helped me and I would never forget about other people’s favor .
Yu Hui had done so much for me . She had even blocked the knife with her body for me . I owned her so much . However, I had never done anything for her . . . “Don’t say anything like ‘It’s my duty . ’, just tell me what you want . ” After I had said that, Yu Hui still waved her hands and wanted to refuse my proposal .
Ah, that was really troublesome . I would put it this way .
“Haven’t you said that you would listen to anything I said? Since that’s the case, now I order you to tell me something you want!” This should work .
I had to give orders to return her favor . How strange was that .
Hearing that it was my order, Yu Hui stopped rejecting me . Then she lowered her head uneasily and played with her fingers while saying haltingly, “Yes, I want . . . ”
“Ki?” I only heard one syllable . Because her voice was so low that I couldn’t catch other parts of the word she had said . Then I asked her back .
Yu Hui became like a cat which was frightened right away . She retreated to the corner with her face turning completely red and covered her face, shouting,
“No, no, no! I don’t want a kiss!”

“ . . . ” Ki, Kiss?
“No, no . I didn’t . . . Because Jiang Xueqing has kissed you so many times and I have only kissed you by accident for once . I just want you to make it up to me . . . No, that’s not what I mean! I didn’t take off my clothes just now because I wanted to surpass your sister . . . Eh, what am I saying right now . . . ” After realizing that she had said something she shouldn’t have, Yu Hui bit her tongue instantly . Then she covered her mouth due to the pain, with tears almost coming out of her eyes .
“ . . . Ha ha . . . ” It was unexpected to see Yu Hui’s loveliness .
Not only wasn’t she able to lie, she couldn’t hide any thoughts at all!
I even felt a bit shy about that . . . Then I would meet her requirement . . . Stop!
Feeling that evil thoughts coming up again, I closed my eyes immediately and began to count numbers . After a long while, I opened my eyes again and scratched my head, saying,
“Sorry, I really cannot do that right now . You know my mental state is a little bit . . . So, well . . . Can you change to another request?”
“No, it’s not your fault, Lord Jun Cheng! I shouldn’t have asked too much from you! I’m really sorry to trouble you!”
“Don’t get anxious, just relax . ” Hearing my words, Yu Hui took a few deep breaths . After she had calmed down, she looked at me again and said,
“What I have said doesn’t count . I’m going to say what I really want . . . Can you please date me once? Just the two of us . If you are unwilling to it or don’t have the time . . . ”
Again, stop spoiling me, Mother Yu .
I could handle the date . Then I agreed without any hesitation .
“Dating . That’s OK . I’ll be there anytime . ” Hearing my words, Yu Hui bowed to me and expressed her thanks to me with a beaming smile .
“Thank you so much . ”
“Perfect, just leave it to me . ” I happened to have agreed on a date with Lian Bing . It was not a problem for me to date once or twice . I could handle that easily!
So, back to the problem I had at the beginning .
I needed to find a job in order to have enough money to go on a date .
I knew there were some Apps for looking for jobs . However, I found them quite unreliable .
And I really didn’t want to give out leaflets or deliver food . In fact, working indoors was my first choice .
Tutoring sounded good . However, my grades at school were actually average . And I didn’t think I was qualified to teach others .
Then what about working in a fast food restaurant or a supermarket?
Anyway, I should go out and have a check first .
Because jobs wouldn’t come to me by itself if I nested at home all the time .
Since it was too late, I would go for a stroll then .
“Lord Jun Cheng, you want to go out again?” After I had put on my clothes, Yu Hui walked by my side and handed me my wallets, keys and phone while asking that .
“Yeah, I want to find a job . ”
“A job . . . Do you want to buy anything?”
“Not really . I just want to save some money . Now my wallet is totally empty . ” By the way, Xiang Yuexun had already returned my coat and my wallet to me when she had visited me in the hospital .
However, though she had returned my wallet, she still took away all the money in it . In her words, she needed to charge those money as her medical (saliva) fee .
But Xue Qing told me that Xiang Yuexun actually had used the money to buy some tools for cosplay . . .
It turned out that cute girl liked to do cosplay . I believed her body shape was perfect for playing Lolita . I should ask when was the next time for her next exhibition and have fun there .
“Can I follow you?”
“Sure, I still need you to awaken me when I am not able to control myself . ” I straightened my collar and said that with a joking tone .
“But don’t follow me 24/7 like that crazy stalker . I’ll be so uncomfortable then . You can come home at night . Don’t worry, I’ll also come home on time . ”
“Sure, don’t worry . I know about the limit and won’t bring any trouble to your daily life . ”
“Yeah, you are the most reliable person for me . ” It was true that Yu Hui was the one I trusted the most . The trust I had for her had raised to the highest level which was equaled to the one I had to Xue Qing and my families .
Having got dressed and put on my glasses, I walked to the door . As I turned my head and wanted to say goodbye to Yu Hui, I found her already disappeared . She really was a mysterious girl .
So she would only show up when I needed her? I should call her Doreamon! (Laugh)
Now, let’s find a job .
