Chapter 12: Men Should Treat Themselves Better

Welsh looked at his sister’s tearful face and suddenly felt a little sorry for her.

After thinking for a while, he realized that the situation of men and women in this world was indeed like this.

The status of men was very low. In the eyes of the high-class people, they were playthings and the women could have as many as they wanted.

As for the lower-class women, they couldn’t even have enough money to get married.

After hesitating for a long time, Welsh took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.

There were all kinds of banknotes, some big and some small. The total sum was about six to seven hundred.

This was the pocket money that his predecessor had accumulated for a long time. Because it had been kept in other places, it was not in Alice’s hands.

Initially, Welsh planned to accumulate more money and use it to buy the ingredients for the potion.

But now that he heard his sister’s miserable state, he decided to wait for a while.

Ten dollars…

Fifty…

One hundred and fifty…

Under Alice’s surprised and eager eyes, he counted out five hundred dollars with difficulty.

He folded the five hundred dollars in his hand and placed it in front of Alice.

Alice was stunned when she saw this scene.

Is he her stingy brother?

Was I too melodramatic today? It moved Welsh?

Could it be that he acted on impulse?

No, I can’t give him a chance to take it back!

Thinking of this, Alice quickly reached out her hand to the stack of money in front of her.

She reached out her hand.

She caught the money.

She pulled it back… but it didn’t move.

???

Alice suddenly remembered that she didn’t thank him.

“Thank you, my dear brother.”

She stretched out her hand again and pulled it back… but it still didn’t move.

Alice raised her head and looked at her brother Welsh with a puzzled expression.

She saw that Welsh was holding the five hundred dollars tightly in his hand. He said with a surprised expression, “Did you get cheated by someone? Online dating?! The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was unreliable!”

At this point, Welsh’s expression changed and became very disdainful.

“After all, who would like you? You’re a nerd.”

Alice was stunned for a moment after hearing her brother’s words and immediately fell into self-doubt.

That’s right! Why would anyone like her! She was not good in studying, and her family conditions were also average.

However, the photos of those handsome men that she saw on the internet were still like carrots hanging in front of a donkey, making her lose her mind.

She looked at Welsh in front of her and said with a patronizing look on her face, “Yeah, I have nothing anyway and I’m a woman. What’s there to deceive me of?”

After hearing her words, Welsh was stunned.

It made sense! With Alice’s poor appearance, with no money and no talent, there was indeed nothing worth to deceive of.

Thus, Welsh blankly handed the money to Alice.

After Alice received the money, she immediately beamed with joy.

“Ten dollars… fifty… two hundred…”

She began to count.

“Ten dollars… fifty… two hundred…”

After counting several times to confirm that the amount was correct, she remembered to thank Welsh, who was beside her.

“Thank you, little brother! Hehehe…With this money, I can take him to a bar or a high-class restaurant for a meal.”

Looking at Alice’s infatuated look, Welsh shook his head speechlessly, he turned around and walked out of the door.

…

After breakfast, Welsh did not wait for Alice, who was from the same school. Instead, he chose to walk directly towards the school.

“Welsh… Welsh…”

Just as the school was close by, a voice called out to Welsh.

Welsh turned his head and blurted out the name.

“James?”

Welsh looked at his classmate, James, who was slowly walking towards him. He felt like his head was going to explode.

He felt that anyone who saw a man who was 1.6 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 pounds, walking towards him in a particularly seductive posture would feel goosebumps all over his body.

Welsh looked at the seductive James and felt his throat squirm. He was about to vomit.

He turned his head and wanted to pretend that he didn’t know this guy and leave quickly.

However, what happened afterward made it impossible for him to leave.

James, who was initially far away, immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression when he saw Welsh. He rushed to Welsh’s side and grabbed his arm tightly.

“So it really is you. I thought I was mistaken!”

Welsh looked at his hands that were being held and felt all the muscles in his body tense up.

He turned his head and pretended to have seen James just then. He put on a perfunctory smile.

“Haha… What a coincidence. I can actually meet you here.”

“Yeah, what a coincidence.”

After James heard Welsh’s answer, he said with a bashful expression.

As he spoke, he used his own hand to caress Welsh’s arm back and forth.

Welsh looked at his own hands caressed back and forth by a man, he also felt a chill.

He quickly changed the topic and said, “James, I haven’t seen you for a few days. It seems that your hands have changed.”

As he said that, he pulled out his hands without changing his expression.

When James heard that, he fell for the trap and looked at him in surprise.

“You noticed!”

Then he stretched out his hands and showed Welsh his nails.

“Welsh, you actually saw the changes on my hands. Then what do you think of my new nails? Do they look good? Also, do you think the skin on my face is better? I just went for a facial treatment two days ago.”

Welsh looked at a big man, who kept showing off the nails he had just done. Welsh was very speechless.

However, in order not to reveal any flaws, he acted as per normal. His face also showed a perfunctory smile. From time to time, he would nod his head to show that he understood.

“Yes, yes, yes, I saw it. Yes, the effect looks good. It’s quite beautiful.”

James nodded in satisfaction after hearing Welsh’s words.

“Yeah, I think it looks pretty good too.”

James raised his hands facing the Sun in the sky, as if he was admiring some rare treasure.

“That’s why we men should treat ourselves better. We can’t be as rough as those women. After all, no woman is more reliable than our own appearance.”

“But when it comes to skin care, I still envy you. How do you maintain your skin? Why is it so fair and smooth?”

As James spoke, he reached out his right hand and touched Welsh’s face.

Welsh looked at a man’s hand covered in nail polish slowly approaching his face, and he immediately felt a chill in his heart.

So he could only look up and step back, trying to stay as far away from James’s hand as possible.

When he couldn’t step back, Welsh immediately turned around and ran over.

As he ran, he shouted, “It’s almost time for class, I have to hurry for class.”

Looking at Welsh who quickly left, James’s face was full of suspicion.

He took out a pink watch from his pocket and looked at the time. “Isn’t there ten minutes before class starts? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?”

With that, he walked towards the school.
