For a moment, she truly had the urge to have Chen Erbao pin her down right in front of Xu Sheng, but in the end, a thought was just a thought.

If it really happened, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

But with her husband rummaging through drawers right there, while she forced his good friend to lick her toes—the inexplicable shame and perversion of it all was just too thrilling to resist.

'Shen Qin, I never thought you were this kind of woman deep down.'

'But this feeling is just incredible.'

She had only ever fantasized about it before, and doing it for real certainly hadn't disappointed her.

Shen Qin discreetly glanced at Chen Erbao's crotch and licked her lips.

'Next time, I can find a chance to do something even more thrilling.'

While Xu Sheng's back was still turned, Shen Qin sidled up to Chen Erbao.

"Er Bao, I was very pleased with your service just now."

"Next time, I've decided to give you a proper reward."

GASP...

Chen Erbao sucked in a sharp breath.

'A next time?'

Just now, his heart had been pounding in his throat.

It wasn't that he was a coward; after all, he'd even dared to make a move on Chen Daniu's wife.

The main issue was that his friendship with Xu Sheng was second only to his bond with his cousin, Chen Dabao.

When they were kids, Chen Erbao had been playing up on the mountain and nearly fell off a cliff. Xu Sheng, who was out gathering herbs, found him and saved him, nearly breaking his own arm in the process.

To this day, Xu Sheng's arm had never fully recovered.

He was terrified that if Xu Sheng found out about him and Shen Qin, he wouldn't be able to handle it and might do something drastic.

Chen Erbao instinctively backed away from Shen Qin.

'This vixen. I'd better stay far away from her from now on.'

Chen Erbao said quickly, "Sister Qin, you should sit back down. Don't let Brother Sheng see."

Shen Qin's eyes crinkled into a smile as she leaned in close to Chen Erbao's ear. "Don't worry. As long as you do as I say, Xu Sheng will never find out a thing."

"So, from now on, when I call for you, you'd better come right away. Otherwise, I'll tell Xu Sheng about us."

"With that one-track mind of his, I can't guarantee what he'll do."

"And another thing. In private, you can call me 'Your Queen'."

???

Chen Erbao's scalp tingled with dread.

No wonder this vixen was treating him this way. So she actually had a kink like that.

Chen Erbao instinctively turned to look at Shen Qin, only to see she was already back in her seat, acting as if nothing had happened.

'Great. Looks like staying away from Shen Qin is no longer an option.'

'What kind of mess is this?'

He didn't think Shen Qin would actually hurt Xu Sheng, but he also couldn't guarantee what she might do.

He'd just have to take it one step at a time.

"Er Bao, take a look at this."

Xu Sheng's voice broke Chen Erbao out of his thoughts. He looked up to see him jogging over with a notebook, which he handed to Chen Erbao.

Chen Erbao said, "Brother Sheng, I'm not really interested in your diary."

Xu Sheng shot him an exasperated look. "This is full of priceless information! It has a record of the purchase prices from every place that buys medicinal herbs in town, and even in the county."

"This is the valuable knowledge I've built up over all my years of selling herbs."

"I'm only showing you because it's you. I wouldn't let anyone else see this even if they paid me."

Chen Erbao's eyes lit up instantly.

To him, Xu Sheng's notebook was absolutely priceless.

"Brother Sheng, can I borrow this for a few days?"

Xu Sheng scoffed. "Listen to you. What's the relationship between us? It's yours, just take it."

Chen Erbao beamed.

"Alright then, Brother Sheng. I won't refuse your kindness."

He planned to go home and study it carefully. Tomorrow, he would try his luck in town or the county. Once he established a sales route, he would divide the wild Gastrodia from the mountain into five shares: two for himself, two for Brother Da Bao's family, and one for Brother Sheng's family.

Chen Erbao was ecstatic.

"Brother Sheng, I'm going to head out now."

Xu Sheng said, "In such a hurry?"

"At least stay for dinner before you go."

Shen Qin shot Xu Sheng an annoyed look. "You're the only one who eats this late."

Realizing she was right, Xu Sheng scratched his head and chuckled.

Chen Erbao didn't linger. After saying his goodbyes, he jogged out of Xu Sheng's yard. He was just about to head home when he heard Xu Sheng's voice from behind him, "Er Bao, wait up."

Turning around, Chen Erbao saw that Xu Sheng had followed him out.

"Brother Sheng, what's up?"

Seeing that no one else was around, Xu Sheng came up to Chen Erbao and said, "Er Bao, you..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he found he couldn't say them.

Chen Erbao could see what was happening and spoke up. "Brother Sheng, is there something you need my help with?"

"Between the two of us, you can just say it."

"Are you sick or something?"

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and forced the words out. "I'll be straight with you. I... I can't perform."

???

Chen Erbao winced internally.

'Why does that sound so familiar?'

'Don't tell me Xu Sheng also wants to ask me to get his wife pregnant for him?'

Chen Erbao said hastily, "Brother Sheng, please don't tell me you're about to ask me to get your wife pregnant. I could never do something to betray you like that."

Now it was Xu Sheng's turn to be surprised.

"What's wrong with you? How could you even think that?"

Chen Erbao breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what were you trying to say?"

Xu Sheng sighed. "Look, we're brothers, so I won't hide it from you."

"The truth is, back in my younger days, I could go seven times in one night. But I partied too hard."

"Your Sister Qin is beautiful, and she has a high sex drive. I managed to win her over back then by telling her I had incredible stamina and firepower."

Chen Erbao didn't know what kind of expression to make.

He never would have guessed the two of them had a past like that.

Xu Sheng continued, "Truth is, even back then, I was already starting to have trouble keeping up. I had to rely on... supplements. It was fine for the first few days, but then your Sister Qin gave me such performance anxiety that even the supplements stopped working completely."

"And well, it's been like that ever since."

"I was hoping you could take a look and see if you can help."

Only then did Chen Erbao understand how Shen Qin could be both loyal and licentious at the same time.

The root of the problem, it turned out, was Xu Sheng.

After briefly checking Xu Sheng's pulse, Chen Erbao found that the issue was partly psychological, but also due to an excessive residue of performance enhancers in his system.

"Brother Sheng, your condition... I can treat it."

"But..."

Xu Sheng grew anxious. "Just say it. What's the problem?"

"Don't leave me hanging. Don't scare me, bro."

Chen Erbao said, "Brother Sheng, I'll be straight with you. Treating your condition is easy, but preventing a relapse will be a bit tricky."

"It's mostly a psychological issue. The moment you and Sister Qin... try to do it... I'm afraid it'll..."

Xu Sheng was both worried and relieved. Finally, he said, "As long as I can recover, that's enough. Worst case, I'll just be honest with your Sister Qin. Life is long, we'll get used to it eventually."

Seeing this, Chen Erbao nodded. "That's true. Once you get over your own mental block, psychological problems are no big deal."

Chen Erbao was about to offer a few more words of comfort when Xu Sheng suddenly asked, "Er Bao... I'll be fine with other women, right?"
