Chapter 6

Qiao Xi spent another half hour bawling on my shoulder, finally crying out every last drop of water in her brain.

Once she started to calm down a bit, I suddenly remembered the capsaicin I’d bought but never used.

A little spark flared up in my heart again.

I rubbed my hands together, itching to give it a try. “Wanna get revenge?”

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth. “Yeah, let’s do it. Make them suffer.”

I immediately bounced over to show her my newly purchased capsaicin.

“This is made from Indian ghost peppers! They say it’s so spicy it can make elephants cry!

“I got the upgraded version. It’s colorless, odorless, and uses the latest microencapsulation tech. It only activates when it gets wet.

“By the time he realizes something’s wrong, the flowers will have wilted.

“Everyone who’s bought it says it’s great! An essential for home self-defense!”

Qiao Xi’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly took the bottle from me.

I still had a shred of conscience left, so I warned her, “This stuff is seriously strong. Just use a tiny bit, okay? Mix in just a little.”

Qiao Xi nodded, unscrewing the cap.

To my utter shock, she grabbed that pile of weird-shaped little toys on the coffee table and, stone-faced, started brushing the stuff on like she was basting barbecue. She was meticulous, coating every nook, cranny, and bump inside and out.

The entire bottle.

Not a drop left.

I swallowed nervously, suddenly feeling a little heat on my own backside.

After Qiao Xi finished with the last toy, she calmly grabbed a tissue and wiped her hands, nice and slow.

She looked up at me, eyes full of anticipation. “Done.”

Staring at her, I suddenly understood a certain saying:

Never mess with someone blinded by love.

Especially a Scorpio.
