    Chapter 420: Tying Fallopian Tubes into a Bow

    Dong Dongdong giggled like a schoolgirl, shyly brushing her cheek with her hand.

    "I’m not nearly as... as you say... hmm~"

    "Since you feel the same way, and we’re both adults, let’s be open about it. I know why you’ve gone to such lengths to make me happy. What do you like? What do you want? A car? Jewelry? I’ll buy you anything."

    "No, no, no, Sister Dong, you’ve misunderstood. Though you’re gorgeous and dazzling, I truly see you as my own sister."

    Dong Dongdong lost her patience. "Enough already. Playing hard to get is cute, but too much is just tiresome."

    "You even admitted earlier that you came for me, and now you’re *still* putting on this act!"

    Seeing Dong Dongdong closing in again, Zuo Zuying gritted his teeth and blurted out, "Sister Dong, I’ll be honest—I really did come for you!"

    "I knew it~"

    Just as Dong Dongdong was blushing with delight, Zuo Zuying suddenly grabbed Hao Meng beside him and planted a sloppy kiss on his cheek.

    Hao Meng froze, completely dumbstruck.

    Zuo Zuying clung to Hao Meng’s neck like a monkey, one foot pigeon-toed and the other playfully kicked back, turning to flash Dong Dongdong a bashful smile.

    It was a sight to behold.

    Dong Dongdong was stunned, her mouth agape as she stared at Zuo Zuying in utter disbelief, like she’d seen a ghost.

    After a long pause, she finally pointed at Zuo Zuying and Hao Meng like she’d caught a cheating husband. "You... you two... you two... behind my back—"

    Her finger trembled, her face twitching, too overwhelmed to speak.

    Zuo Zuying freed one hand to press a fist to his lips, batting his eyelashes while giving a flirtatious shoulder wiggle, pitching his voice higher.

    "Aiyo~, Sister Dong, I told you—I’m just like you. I came for Hao-ge~"

    The petrified Hao Meng finally snapped out of it, shoving Zuo Zuying off in horror.

    "Ahhh! Stay away from me!"

    With that, he tumbled onto the railing of the second-floor Wanfang Stone Pagoda, wrapping his arms tightly around a pillar to hide his entire body behind it, peeking out, terrified.

    Zuo Zuying, the agile old fox, took a small step forward, reaching out, which made Hao Meng shrink back even further.

    In a squeaky voice, Zuo Zuying called, "Hao-ge~"

    Dong Dongdong couldn’t take it anymore. She reeled back, eyes welling up.

    "This is too much. You two are just too much! *Sobbing* Wuwuwu~"

    Heartbroken, she covered her mouth and fled downstairs in tears.

    "Sister Dong, Sister Dong, wait for me~"

    Hao Meng shot Zuo Zuying a terrified glance, stiffly backing away before tumbling off the railing and scrambling after Dong Dongdong.

    Zuo Zuying sprinted after them. "Hao-ge, Hao-ge~, wait for me~"

    Hearing Zuo Zuying’s sickly-sweet calls, Hao Meng abandoned even his benefactor, *even* bolting past Dong Dongdong in sheer panic to escape.

    Here's the edited translation incorporating the expert suggestions:

    Zuo Zuying didn't catch up with Hao Meng, but she did catch up with Dong Dongdong.

    She helped Dong Dongdong sit down on a nearby stone bench and comforted her, "Dong-jie, don't be upset. I'm even more upset than you."

    "You had a breakup, and so did I. Misery loves company..."

    "No, I'm worse off. The man I love loves you, and the man you love loves the man who loves you... You're the prize catch, while I'm stuck at rock bottom."

    Seeing Zuo Zuying's pained expression, Dong Dongdong actually felt a bit better.

    "If they don't love us, so be it. The next one will be better, the next one'll be more devoted, the next one will be cuter," Zuo Zuying turned to Dong Dongdong. "And I'm not just talking about me—I mean you too."

    Dong Dongdong was stunned. "Huh? You bounced back that fast? You're even more fickle than me!"

    Zuo Zuying said seriously, "That's why I said we're alike. We're not fickle—we just love the whole world. There are too many men out there; we can't just cling to one tree. Let me tell you, when it comes to understanding men, I'm like way more experienced than you."

    Dong Dongdong stared at her. "???"

    Zuo Zuying gently persuaded, "Look, there's nothing you can do about me. I know you're the total package—brains, looks, the whole deal—so you'd never force someone against their will, right?"

    "Besides, with your great qualities, you can find anyone you want!"

    "You should go for someone built like a tank but gentle and doesn't cause trouble. Just kick back and enjoy the ride. We can love, but we can't do this love triangle crap."

    "Also, I'm kinda... messed up. I only like men. Once, a female boss said she liked me and even tried to force herself on me. Guess what happened?"

    "I completely lost control—totally lost it. I yanked out her fallopian tubes, knotted 'em into a bow, and hung them around her waist."

    "The hell—?" Dong Dongdong gaped at her in shock.

    "Think that's cruel?"

    Dong Dongdong stammered, "That's... that's psycho!"

    Zuo Zuying gave her a look that said, *See? You understand.* "Dong-jie, I don't want to hurt you. Even though you misunderstood my feelings for you, all our good times weren't fake. I truly see you as a good friend, a sister."

    When Dong Dongdong stayed silent, Zuo Zuying continued working her over. "Dong-jie, put yourself in my shoes. If a woman tried to force herself on you, could you stop yourself from going crazy? For me, that's like hacking out my kidneys, sawing off my legs, and yanking out my brainstem. How could I *not* lose it?"

    Dong Dongdong imagined a woman forcing herself on her and immediately shuddered. A man doing it? Fine. A woman? Absolutely not!

    After Zuo Zuying's little stunt, Dong Dongdong wasn't just questioning her appeal—she couldn't even *see* her clearly anymore.

    Yet Zuo Zuying kept being considerate, every word logical and caring.

    "Alright, alright, stop talking. I'm totally fried right now. I'm going home. Let me calm down."

    After walking a few steps, Dong Dongdong spotted Hao Meng in the distance, looking like a deer in headlights. She turned back to Zuo Zuying. "Forget about Hao Meng. You already yanked out someone's fallopian tubes and knotted 'em into a bow. Don't push him until he loses it too and yanks your vas deferens into a knot."

    Watching the car drive away, Zuo Zuying smirked. "Nailed it. Phase two: get her to trust me and head south..." trailing off.

    She turned around excitedly, muttering to herself—only to come face-to-face with four looks of pure horror.

    Su An, Zuo Jinghuan, Chu Shuyu, Gang Zi...
