Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (Updated)...

While Chu Xiao was sleeping, he could vaguely feel someone applying a towel to his forehead to cool it down.

Although he was still not fully conscious, his subconscious told him that this was Luo Shizhen.

Apart from Shi Zhen, no one else would take care of him like this.

The pain in my body that felt like it was being torn apart all the time has almost disappeared.

Chu Xiao is a person who can endure pain very well. Compared to the pain, he hates the restless voice in his mind more, as if a dark side of himself is about to emerge from the bottom of his heart.

When Chen Heyan first met Chu Xiao, he told him that this was the impact of pollution.

It can also be understood as the inner demons encountered by cultivators in the fairy-tale setting when problems arise in their practice.

The difference is that most cultivators do not have inner demons, but every awakened person will have their inner demons drawn out by Qi.

It’s just that some people have serious problems, while others don’t.

In essence, the Awakened are another kind of alienation, except that they still retain their humanity.

Therefore, most of the newly awakened people have very bad tempers and relatively negative thoughts. This is the influence of the inner demon.

The older awakened ones are more stable, not because they no longer have inner demons, but because they are used to this kind of life.

So although Chen Heyan was surprised that Luo Shizhen was not affected at all, it was not surprising.

Luo Shi's personality is really sunny and positive, so how could he be led to do something dark?

What this sentence means is that awakened people like Chu Xiao, who can be affected by pollution, have a dark side in their hearts.

But now, Chu Xiao was extremely calm, he even felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Someone was wiping his face.

No need to guess, it must be Shi Zhen. He is a very clean person and doesn't mind helping others keep things clean.

The fingers, which were not particularly soft and had a few calluses, would accidentally touch Chu Xiao's face during the wiping process, making him wish he could sleep here for a long time so that he could feel this moment forever.

Fortunately, Chu Xiao was still rational. He closed his eyes quietly and enjoyed it for a while before slowly opening his eyes.

Sure enough, his eyes met Luo Shizhen, who was lowering his head and gently wiping him.

Luo Shizhen instantly revealed a surprised smile: "Chu Xiao, you're awake!"

Chu Xiao also smiled at him. He had a cold personality, so such a smile was already a big smile for him.

No matter how emotionally unstable he was before, no matter how unwilling he was at that moment, no matter how stimulated he was when he heard Luo Shizhen mention "godfather" again.

When the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Luo Shizhen, Chu Xiao still felt a deep sense of happiness.

At this moment, he was extremely determined.

——Although Luo Shizhen is still thinking about getting married and having children.

But at least it shows that Xiao Shan is no longer much of a threat.

Yes, he was on the verge of alienation at that time, and his mind was a little unclear.

Although Luo Shizhen is usually easy to talk to, no one can change what he insists on.

He had been with Shi Zhen for more than ten years and hadn't been able to do it, so how could Xiao Shan do it in just two days?

Xiao Shan is just another Zhang Chuan.

They are all friends. Chu Xiao can conclude that in Luo Shizhen's heart, he is the most important one.

Chu Xiao looked at Luo Shizhen with a gentle expression. He liked the way Luo Shizhen looked at him intently and worried about him.

"Shi Zhen, have you been guarding me all this time?"

He asked even though he knew the answer.

Luo Shizhen nodded honestly:

"Yes, the doctor said you would feel dizzy and uncomfortable. You had a fever last night. Chu Xiao, are you still dizzy now?"

Chu Xiao felt more at peace:

"It's not uncomfortable anymore."

He suggested as if it were normal:

"Am I still having a fever? Can you help me take my temperature?"

"good."

Luo Shizhen inherited a habit from his grandmother Luo. When checking whether someone has a fever, he will directly measure the forehead temperature with his hand.

If your hands feel a little hot, you can also measure the temperature forehead to forehead, and finally use a thermometer.

Luo Shizhen was also afraid that Chu Xiao would have a fever again, so he leaned over to measure his forehead temperature.

From Chu Xiao's perspective, he could see Luo Shizhen's body gradually approaching as he leaned forward.

Chu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, lying relaxed on the hospital bed, his mood calm, with only Luo Shizhen in his eyes.

Then, Xiao Shan's face appeared behind Luo Shizhen.

Next, it was Lu Qiujin's face.

Chu Xiao: “…”

He suddenly became uneasy.

Xiao Shan grabbed Luo Shizhen's hand that was about to reach out, and with his other hand he opened the drawer next to the bed and threw the thermometer onto the bed.

Meeting Chu Xiao's cold gaze, he smiled with all his might, but was also filled with anger.

"You need a thermometer to take your temperature. Using your hands won't be accurate."

Chu Xiao sneered: "This is the custom in our hometown."

He looked at Xiao Shan coldly and said word by word:

"My and Shi Zhen's hometown."

Luo Shizhen didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them at all, and he nodded:

"Yeah, that's what my grandma always taught me."

Xiao Shan was about to scold Chu Xiao for his evil ambitions, but Lu Qiujin interrupted him.

He looked at Luo Shizhen and said with a smile:

"The older generation does like to do this. They can quickly determine whether the patient has a fever by touching the forehead with their hand, but Chu Xiao is not in a hurry, so using a thermometer is more accurate."

Luo Shizhen suddenly felt that what Lu Qiujin said made a lot of sense.

He quickly opened the thermometer casing and handed it to Chu Xiao:

"Chu Xiao, clamp it quickly, it will be done in ten minutes."

Chu Xiao lowered his eyes, his expression unclear: "I don't have the strength."

Luo Shizhen immediately volunteered: "Then I'll help you!"

He reached out to untie Chu Xiao's clothes, but was stopped by Xiao Shan again.

Luo Shizhen was puzzled: "What's wrong, brother?"

Xiao Shan already knew that Chu Xiao had bad intentions, so how could he allow him to have close contact with Luo Shizhen?

He suppressed his nausea and said, "You must be tired after taking care of him for so long. Let me do it."

Luo Shi was really confused.

It's just helping to put the thermometer aside. It's not that tiring, right?

But seeing that Xiao Shan was so eager to help, he no longer insisted on doing it himself. He obediently handed the thermometer to Xiao Shan and stood aside.

Then, Luo Shizhen saw Chu Xiao, who said he had no strength, suddenly snatched the thermometer from Xiao Shan's hand and put it inside his clothes.

Luo Shizhen was surprised: "Chu Xiao! You've recovered your strength!"

He was still happy:

"Great! It seems like you'll be well again soon!"

Chu Xiao hummed, then asked, "Why are they both here?"

Luo Shizhen quickly and proactively told Chu Xiao that Xiao Shan and Lu Qiujin were offering to use their own Qi to help Chu Xiao adapt to his body.

"Big Brother and Lu Qiujin are very enthusiastic. They didn't go back to the dormitory last night. They stayed here to keep me company."

Luo Shizhen doesn't have any possessiveness towards his friends.

Chu Xiao is so nice, and he is also very happy that Chu Xiao has other friends, so that more people will care about Chu Xiao.

He just got sick, so he should feel better when he hears that everyone cares about him, right?

Luo Shizhen thought thoughtfully and praised Xiao Shan and Lu Qiujin for helping their classmates.

He said cheerfully: "Chu Xiao, thank them quickly."

Chu Xiao is good in every way except that he doesn't like to talk much. Now that he has received help from others, he doesn't even know how to say thank you.

How rude!

But it doesn’t matter, he just needs to remind Chu Xiao.

Luo Shizhen really wished he could turn into a red rope of friendship, helping to tie a few people together and help them build a boat of friendship.

Chu Xiao had no expression on his face:

"Thanks."

Xiao Shan continued to smile with a fake smile: "You're welcome."

Lu Qiujin smiled in her usual way: "We are all classmates, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Luo Shizhen was very happy watching this scene.

He likes a friendly atmosphere, which is why he used to like playing with the girls in his class.

Before coming to school, the teacher and Chu Xiao had said that the other students had bad tempers, and he was very worried.

But that’s not the case. From the time he entered the school until now, everyone Luo Shizhen met was pretty nice. Even Rong Nian, who had scolded him before, apologized.

Just as they thought of Rong Nian, several people's watches sounded message alerts at the same time.

None of the three people moved, only Luo Shizhen hurried to take a look.

He remembered the teacher saying that if there was a ding-dong reminder sound during school hours, it was from the school.

As a person who aspires to be a good student, Luo Shizhen takes a serious attitude towards all the notices issued by the school.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw an acquaintance.

[School Office Notice: Rong Nian violated school rules and regulations by leaving the detention room without permission and damaging it. His detention time will be doubled. Please take this as a warning and work together to create a harmonious, warm, and loving campus atmosphere.]

Luo Shizhen opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise, but before he had time to digest the news, another message alert sounded.

[Notice from the Principal: If anyone damages public finances again, I will make you live in a 28-person dormitory^v^]

"Rong Nian actually violated the school rules again. I hope he's okay."

Luo Shizhen scratched his head. In his eyes, Rong Nian's image was the same as the bad students in junior high school who often skipped classes and climbed over the wall to go to the Internet cafe.

But Teacher Chen said that because of his past experiences, Rong Nian did not regard himself as a human being, so he always did things in an unruly manner.

Moreover, those bad students would blackmail their classmates. Rong Nian shouldn’t do that, right?

The information he memorized yesterday said that awakened mermaids can, as the legend goes, turn their tears into pearls.

If Rong Nian is short of money, why not just cry out some pearls?

But damaging school property is also wrong. The school is so good. Last time he broke a tablet, the teacher didn't ask him to pay for it.

This time, Rong Nian damaged the confinement room, and judging by the notice, the school had no intention of asking Rong Nian to pay compensation.

Luo Shizhen thought to himself that Rong Nian seemed to be quite receptive. He apologized last time he was asked to do so. The next time he saw Rong Nian, he would tell him not to damage school property again.

Chu Xiao keenly sensed something was wrong:

He suddenly asked, "[Again] violating school rules? Are you very familiar with Rong Nian?"

Xiao Shan didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing what Chu Xiao said, he frowned:

"Weren't you familiar with him this morning?"

He and Luo Shizhen left the dormitory together. Rong Nian did take the initiative to talk to Luo Shizhen, but was quickly interrupted by him.

Later, when they entered the classroom, Xiao Shancai felt relieved to see the vice-principal who lived underground. He no longer had to worry about anyone bullying Luo Shizhen while he was away.

Then, he immediately challenged Chu Xiao to a fight.

It can be said that Xiao Shan only let Luo Shizhen out of his sight for a short time during the time when he had an appointment to fight with Chu Xiao.

It's impossible that Luo Shizhen and Rong Nian became familiar with each other in such a short time, right?

At this moment, the two of them were no longer targeting each other, and both looked at Luo Shizhen.

But one is a clear warning, and the other is a warning that one is not even aware of.

Lu Qiujin knew everything, but he didn't say it.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to see how Luo Shizhen would answer.

Luo Shizhen didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this.

I just helped my classmates a little bit.

"It's nothing, it's just that Rong Nian doesn't like other people's smell, but he likes mine and says I smell good. Maybe it's because I shower more frequently."

He was cheerful, a little proud of his cleanliness, and a little proud of having helped his classmates:

“So I helped and had him mark me.”

silence--

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze.

Chu Xiao slowly closed his eyes: "Mark..."

Xiao Shan clenched his fist: "Mark..."

Luo Shi really felt that the two of them had a tacit understanding, they spoke the same language and looked particularly harmonious.

Finding that they were all interested, he shared with his friends this wonderful experience of helping his classmates:

"Yeah, it's just marking. I thought it would be difficult, but it turned out not to be difficult at all."

Luo Shizhen showed the back of his hand and said happily:

"Rong Nian licked my hand, and the marking was completed."

"It doesn't hurt or itch, it's super easy!"
