Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Chapter 37 (Two in One)...

"I'm not short of money."

This was the first time Luo Shizhen had seen so much money in his life.

He pushed the card back firmly and began to wonder if the thermometer was broken.

Otherwise, why would Lu Qiujin look like she was crazy due to a high fever?

"Why are you giving me money? I have my own money."

Luo Shizhen can now be considered very wealthy. He has not spent a penny of the 20,000 yuan given to him by the school.

Fifty million is an astronomical figure.

If Luo Shizhen had earned this money himself, he would be very happy. He would build a big tomb for his grandmother and burn a lot of paper money.

But if Lu Qiujin gave it to him, he definitely wouldn't accept it.

Moreover, although the money he earns now cannot build a big mausoleum for his grandmother, it can still build a new tombstone and burn a lot of paper money.

It was the first time that Lu Qiujin encountered a situation where he couldn't return the money he was giving, but he was a scheming man after all. He looked at Luo Shizhen's expression and found that he was against taking other people's money for no reason, so he immediately changed his words.

"I have money. You helped me purify myself and saved my life. This money is my thank you."

"Actually, 50 million is still relatively small. After all, compared to life, money is nothing."

Luo Shizhen agreed with his statement that "life is more important than money."

But he still didn't answer, just pursed his lips slightly and said seriously:

"The school already pays me. I'm a purifier, and my job is to purify you. If you give me extra money, I'd be so sorry to the school."

"Besides, you are too generous. You gave too much. In our hometown, this is called foolish generosity, and you will suffer losses. Don't give money to people casually in the future. No matter how much money you have, you can't stop spending it like this."

When Luo Shizhen was a child, there was a poor old man in the town. Every time the sun came out, he would bring a bench out to bask in the sun, and his clothes would be patched.

Grandma Luo was talking to other neighbors, and Luo Shizhen was playing nearby and heard them talking about this old man.

It is said that when he was young, his family had quite a bit of property, but he became extravagant and loved to enjoy himself, spending any money he had. He could keep it when his parents were still alive, but after his parents passed away, he squandered the family fortune within two years.

When they talked about this, Grandma Luo wanted to say something to Luo Shizhen:

"Don't follow his example when you grow up. We ordinary people need to live a down-to-earth life and not be spendthrifts."

The neighbors laughed and said that Grandma Luo didn't have much money, so even if Xiaoshi really wanted to be a spendthrift, he wouldn't have the chance.

Luo Shizhen doesn't listen to other people's laughter. He has always been a stubborn person. Listening to grandma's words is the first instruction in his mind. What grandma says is the most important.

He nodded obediently at that time and kept these words firmly in his mind.

The way he looked at Lu Qiujin now was as if he was looking at a prodigal son.

This was the first time Lu Qiujin heard someone say this to him.

He has suffered a lot, but he has never been poor.

After all, it is a wood element, and the Lu family is engaged in agricultural projects. Thanks to it, they have long been developing vigorously.

On the surface, the Lu family always pretended to be a loving family. As a cash cow, Lu Qiujin never lacked money.

He saw that Luo Shizhen was serious and was calculating whether he had enough money to spend, and his expression was dazed for a moment.

I even feel like I'm married, and my wife, who is still young, is already seriously planning for this family.

"You're right."

Lu Qiujin agreed with Luo Shizhen's statement: "Fifty million is indeed not enough."

He decided to ask his father for another 300 million.

Lu Qiujin basically never asked the Lu family for money, although his contribution accounted for more than 90% of the Lu family's current fortune.

It's just that he doesn't care about money, so he doesn't care whether others care or not.

Now after hearing what Luo Shizhen said, Lu Qiujin also began to feel that she had less money.

He thought.

If the Lu family doesn't give it, they will just withdraw from the ongoing agricultural project.

As for whether the Lu family would be greatly affected or encounter any crisis after the withdrawal, Lu Qiujin didn't care.

It was just like he didn't ask the Lu family for money before because he didn't care.

Luo Shi really didn't know what Lu Qiujin was thinking, and he thought he listened to advice:

"Okay, I'm almost done drying my hair, let's go to bed!"

As soon as Lu Qiujin came back to her senses, she heard the word "sleep" and began to feel a strong heat in her heart again.

"sleep……"

He repeated it unconsciously and looked at the two beds next to each other.

Luo Shizhen didn't think too much about it. He got up, put Lu Qiujin's hair dryer on the table, and got into bed.

It feels really good to sleep in bed with the air conditioner on. Luo Shizhen squinted his eyes in enjoyment and rubbed his face against the pillow.

He closed his eyes slightly and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly realized that Lu Qiujin hadn't moved. He looked up in confusion:

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

Lu Qiujin mimicked like a parrot: "Sleep."

Luo Shizhen: "Then come up quickly."

Lu Qiujin felt that this conversation was totally off-putting, but it seemed like he was the only one who felt that it was off-putting.

He walked around Luo Shizhen's bed and climbed onto his own bed from the other side. He lay in the quilt with his hands on both sides. He lay there stiffly, not like he was sleeping. His whole body was as stiff as if he was going to be buried.

Luo Shizhen poked him with his hand.

Lu Qiujin's already stiff body became even stiffer in an instant.

He opened his mouth, his voice even drier than before: "What?"

Luo Shizhen asked quietly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping with your body stretched so straight?"

In fact, he had a bit of a zombie shadow, and he was scared when he saw Lu Qiujin lying there so stiffly.

Lu Qiujin: "No."

He paused, feeling that his voice was a little cold and hard, and added: "I'm used to sleeping like this."

"oh……"

Seeing that he could answer normally, Luo Shizhen felt relieved.

He yawned and wanted to sleep, but he was still thinking about keeping in touch with Lu Qiujin.

"Lu Qiujin, are you sleepy now? Do you want to chat and reconnect?"

Lu Qiujin said almost immediately, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

The two of them were very close, although not face to face, but it was enough for Lu Qiujin to clearly feel that there was another person lying next to her.

Warm, harmless, with a hint of warmth.

Lu Qiujin thought again of the time when Luo Shizhen poked him gently, so carefully, as if afraid of hurting him.

It felt like grass was growing in his heart, and he began to feel inexplicably itchy, as if a cat's paw was scratching his heart, making his heart burn.

The awakened one's good eyesight allows him to see the scene clearly even with the lights turned off.

Lu Qiujin didn't dare turn around to look at Luo Shizhen, but just stared at the ceiling.

What would Luo Shi really ask him?

If you want to keep in touch...

Will you ask him about his views on choosing a partner?

So how should he answer?

Speaking of which, Chu Xiao and Xiao Shan like Luo Shizhen, but Luo Shizhen obviously doesn't like them.

What kind of people does he like?

First of all, he is definitely not like Xiao Shan. Luo Shizhen obviously just admires his figure.

It's just a little muscle. He just didn't want to train before, but he can train it if he wants to. He will train it tomorrow.

It definitely wasn’t Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao and Luo Shizhen grew up together and could be considered childhood sweethearts.

If Luo Shi really liked her, he would have liked her a long time ago. How could he have waited until now?

Not to mention Rong Nian, a fish with species recognition disorder, how could Luo Shizhen possibly like a fish.

At this moment, countless thoughts seemed to flash through Lu Qiujin's mind, and she simulated countless questions and countless answers.

He held his breath and listened to Luo Shizhen speak.

"Today's exam had a question about what to do first when you intuitively feel something is following you during combat, but you don't physically feel it. Why is option A the correct answer?"

Lu Qiujin: “…”

"I chose B, checking the shadow, because there was a question before that said some weird things would hide in people's shadows, but the answer was A. I forgot to ask the teacher when I was making up for the lesson just now. Did you choose the right one? Do you know why it was A?"

Lu Qiujin: “…”

He thought of many questions that Luo Shizhen might ask, but he never thought that he would actually ask a "question".

Lu Qiujin remained silent for more than ten seconds. Luo Shi was puzzled and asked in a low voice, lowering his voice:

"Lu Qiujin, are you asleep?"

Lu Qiujin: "No."

He said slowly, "I'm recalling this question."

In the end, Lu Qiujin finally answered:

"Although some of the weird ones can hide in the shadows and avoid detection by the Awakened, the combat uniforms and watches we wear have the function of detecting surrounding energy."

"Under normal circumstances, you're correct to choose B. However, in a question set in a combat context, B would be eliminated first, because the moment the strangeness hides in our shadows, the watch would sound a warning."

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized.

"But why is A right? Can the Qi body detect hidden strangeness?"

"You haven't been able to feel your own Qi yet, so you don't understand this question. The Qi of an Awakened Person is easily affected by strange pollution. Even if some strange beings that are good at hiding have concealed all their auras and are lurking around the Awakened Person, even if the watch can't detect it, their Qi will still be affected."

Lu Qiujin said slowly, "So if your intuition is wrong and you check your Qi body and find that it's more violent than usual and has slight fluctuations, there's a high probability that something mysterious is lurking around you."

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! So after checking the Qi body and finding fluctuations, what should we do?"

"Step one, immediately activate the protection function. Step two, inform your teammates. Step three, launch a high-intensity attack within a 50-meter radius centered on you, while waiting for your teammates' support."

He spoke so clearly that Luo Shizhen couldn't help but admire him: "You are amazing. You remember it so clearly."

In the darkness, Lu Qiujin slightly raised the corners of her mouth as she listened to his high praise.

"It's nothing. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly. We are in the same dormitory, so it's more convenient than going to Teacher Chen's."

"Okay! Thank you, Lu Qiujin!"

Luo Shizhen raised another question:

"I have another question. It's about [what should I do if I find my teammates have been contaminated for two minutes and are attacking me during combat]." I chose [I should hit my teammates and tie them up], but why is that wrong?"

Lu Qiujin: "Because this is a trap question. If a teammate is contaminated during combat, they should still be conscious for two minutes. During this time, they won't attack others. You should choose [Immediately move away and call the Inspector. If time runs out, kill the teammate yourself.]"

He thought for a moment and said, "But this question has a loophole. Since you're a purifier, you might be able to purify your teammates right then and there. Let's talk to Teacher Chen tomorrow and ask them to include a purification option next time they set a question."

Luo Shizhen suddenly felt that Lu Qiujin was even more powerful.

"You can even ask the teacher for additional options, Lu Qiujin. You can actually think of this. That's amazing."

The corners of Lu Qiujin's mouth curled up even higher.

Luo Shizhen asked again: "There is another question, which is about how to deal with the crying face pupa..."

"This is also simple. Crying-face larvae are afraid of salt, so just sprinkle some salt grains on them."

The two of them asked and answered questions, and every time Lu Qiujin answered Luo Shizhen's questions, she would receive his high praise.

Luo Shizhen was actually not very good at saying nice things, and he could only use the same two sentences to praise people over and over again. But his tone was so sincere that Lu Qiujin just stared at the ceiling and answered for more than an hour without realizing it.

It was not until he finished answering the last question and waited for a long time without Luo Shizhen asking any more questions that he subconsciously turned sideways to look.

The lights in the dormitory were turned off, but in the eyesight of the awakened person, it was no different from turning on the lights, and everything could be seen clearly.

He could see Luo Shizhen's sleeping face.

In fact, Lu Qiujin had seen Luo Shizhen sleeping when he first came to the dormitory.

At that time, I just thought that the new classmate was quite bold. It was his first time in the dormitory, facing three unfamiliar awakened people, but he fell asleep so quickly.

He took a look at it at that time and didn't look any further.

But now, looking at Luo Shizhen sinking into the pillow with his eyelashes closed and sleeping soundly, he just couldn't get enough of looking at him.

Luo Shizhen's hand unconsciously grabbed a corner of the quilt. Because he was sleeping on his side, the quilt on the other side was lifted a little. He was wearing the teddy bear pajamas tightly, but it was a thin piece of clothing after all, so he could vaguely see the lines of his waist and abdomen under the pajamas, which rose and fell with his breathing.

He looks very well behaved when he sleeps, he really doesn't move at all, even his breathing is shallow.

It was completely different from the energetic look during the day when she was smiling and wanted to help him carry the weights.

Lu Qiujin's eyes fell on the exposed part of Luo Shizhen's ankle, and she quickly looked away as if she was burned.

He raised his head slightly and looked forward. Even with his limited vision, he picked up the quilt that had slipped off and accurately covered Luo Shizhen with it.

——After all, the purpose is to please Luo Shizhen and achieve the goal of making friends, so that Luo Shizhen can help purify himself.

Lu Qiujin repeated these words silently in her heart, not knowing to whom she was addressing them.

He turned around and lay down on the bed, only to realize that he had been holding his breath when he covered Luo Shizhen with the quilt.

Lu Qiujin looked at the ceiling in the dark. His awakened good hearing allowed him to hear the gentle breathing beside him.

Too close.

Even breathing can be heard clearly.

You won’t be able to sleep, right?

Lu Qiujin thought so and quickly closed her eyes.

Before going to bed, I was still thinking about finding some school exam materials to read tomorrow.

Why didn’t I think before that Luo Shi really cared about studying? Tutoring him is the fastest way to gain his favor.

Not only Lu Qiujin thought so, but Ying He, who was catching up on his notes, also thought so.

He did not live in the same dormitory with his younger brother. The other three roommates in the dormitory and Yinghe had always kept to themselves.

Yinghe doesn't talk much and doesn't love to fight like other students. He always sits quietly and doesn't like conflicts.

For other students who love fighting, Yinghe’s presence is not as strong as the newcomer Luo Shizhen.

The fact that Luo Shizhen's Qi showed friendliness towards the Qi of other students was enough to arouse the curiosity of these gifted students.

But tonight, the other three roommates in Yinghe's Tianshu dormitory became curious about him for the first time.

Someone leaned over to look and saw a pair of huge white wings that gave off a sacred aura, closing together in front of the desk in the darkness, tightly blocking the owner of the wings inside.

This is Yinghe’s talent, Angel Wings.

When using this ability, his wings will have a bonus effect, making Yinghe's mind clearer, so he is also the most resistant to pollution among all the students in this school.

Perhaps because of this, Yinghe's emotions are much more stable than other students.

Ying Liu is also an angel, but his wings are not for clarity of mind, but for irritability, which makes people more eager to fight.

Yinghe originally came to school for his younger brother.

He had always hoped to leave earlier, because being able to leave would mean that his brother's degeneration process had been controlled.

But he didn't expect that the time he left would be when he just fell in love with a classmate.

Yinghe naturally didn't want to leave, but he was very calm. After analyzing the situation rationally, he realized that given the current situation, they must return to the team.

Therefore, the notes to be given to Luo Shizhen should be more detailed so that he can use them for a longer time.

With the bonus of his clear mind, he could still think clearly even when staying up late.

Although Yinghe seemed to be writing slowly but was actually writing at a rapid pace, words appeared on the notebook one after another, which were rigorous, restrained and precise like the gears of a clock.

None of the three roommates in the dormitory slept, although Yinghe's wings blocked the light source and the sound of writing.

But the awakened are also curious.

Yinghe is a very organized person. He never wants to disrupt his plans. He always goes to bed and gets up on time, just like a robot.

Today, I suddenly stayed up late, contrary to my usual behavior. In order to be more energetic, I even used my natural abilities. This is very unusual.

The awakened ones all have the same bad nature in their bones. They can't stand things that are beyond their control happening before their eyes. The three of them didn't say anything, but decided to see what Yinghe wanted to do.

That night, none of the four people in Tianshu dormitory slept.

That night, Lu Qiujin had a lot of messy dreams.

That night, Ying Liu was taken to Yong Zhou for a checkup, and it was confirmed that there was almost no risk of degeneration.

That night, the three people in the solitary confinement room were beating each other again.

That night, Luo Shizhen had no dreams.

In the morning, he woke up refreshed.

"Good morning!"

Luo Shizhen greeted Lu Qiujin, who had woken up earlier than him and had just come out of the bathroom.

Lu Qiujin was stunned, and then she started to smile as well, still a standard perfect smile, but it seemed a little happier.

"Good morning."

Luo Shizhen began to diligently make his bed, wash, and get dressed. He also took advantage of the break time to recite the knowledge points he learned from Lu Qiujin last night.

Lu Qiujin was also reading a book. He had never paid much attention to these theoretical knowledge before, but now he felt that he needed to study more carefully.

When Luo Shizhen came out and saw Lu Qiujin studying early in the morning, he immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Lu Qiujin's grades are much better than his, yet she works so hard. He needs to work harder too!

After encouraging himself, Luo Shizhen was more serious in class today, and his face almost looked like it was filled with "I love studying".

His positive attitude won the favor of Mr. Liu, the teacher of cultural studies, who even gave Luo Shizhen special lessons after class.

After helping Luo Shizhen with his lessons for half an hour, he gave him a big bunch of candy.

"This candy is sweet. If you feel tired from studying, put one in your mouth to replenish your sugar intake and help you study more energetically."

Luo Shizhen thanked the teacher in surprise.

He respected teachers, and the praise from teachers was a great honor for him.

Moreover, he likes to eat, and he likes to eat anything that is delicious.

Seeing the child so happy, Teacher Liu felt relieved.

He had tried giving candy to students before, but these kids were all so eager to be awesome that they thought eating candy was childish.

A group of young people aged eighteen or nineteen are at a childish age, so what's wrong with eating candy?

He rubbed Luo Shizhen's head.

The last time he saw Chen Heyan do this, Teacher Liu had long wanted to rub it too.

Sure enough, it feels very good.

He smiled and said, "Okay, go play. Although you need to study hard, you also need to combine work and rest. Remember to rest if you are tired."

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Liu."

Luo Shizhen agreed seriously and happily left the teacher's office with a bag of candy.

I returned to my seat and was about to continue studying when a thick notebook was gently pushed towards me.

Luo Shizhen was confused at first, but then he was surprised when he found out that it was Yinghe.

"Is this the note you took before?"

Ying He nodded: "Yes, you can take it and read it first. I will give you another one after you finish reading this one."

Luo Shizhen was extremely grateful: "Thank you, I will definitely keep it well and won't let you get it dirty."

"What I gave you is yours. You don't have to return it to me. If you have any questions, just ask me online."

Luo Shizhen was puzzled: "Online?"

They are sitting so close to each other, why not just ask directly?

"Yes, I'm leaving. Yong Zhou not only called back Ying Liu, but also called me back."

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized: "You are going to be a guardian too."

He envied: "That's great."

Yinghe couldn't see any reluctance in his expression, but this was expected.

The time he and Luo Shizhen had been in contact was too short.

The black-haired boy smiled, and his smile was just like his mood, very shallow and steady.

"I haven't thanked you yet. Ying Liu's degeneration has stopped. He said it was all thanks to you."

"I?"

Luo Shi was really confused: "I didn't do anything."

"You praised the beautiful color of his wings. He might have stopped his degeneration because of that."

Yinghe didn't say that Yingliu sent him a lot of messages last night, bombarding him with messages that kept repeating "He said the color of my feathers is dazzling", "He said I am like the sun", "He said I am very powerful", "I like him", "I like him so much".

After writing notes all night, I saw these news early in the morning. Yinghe can still smile now. He is really emotionally stable.

"After class, can you come to the rooftop with me?"

He extended an invitation: "I heard from Ying Liu that you envy his ability to fly. How about I take you flying for a spin?"

Luo Shizhen was indeed surprised: "Is it possible? Will it be too much trouble for you? And I'm very strong, can you carry me?"

"Don't worry."

Ying He smiled and extended his hand to him: "After all, I am an awakened person, so it is not difficult for me to lead one person."

If Ying Liu wanted to take Luo Shizhen flying, he would still hesitate, mainly because Ying Liu looked a little unreliable.

But Yinghe has the aura of a top student, which makes Luo Shizhen trust him involuntarily.

He happily agreed:

"good!!"

After class, Luo Shizhen followed Yinghe to the rooftop.

Yinghe spread his wings. The huge wings were several meters long, with white feathers, revealing a holy aura.

Ying He smiled and stretched out his hands to Luo Shizhen: "Let's go."

It feels good to be in heaven.

Luo Shizhen hugged Yinghe tightly, and cheered in surprise as Yinghe deliberately flew low and then suddenly soared high again and again.

The teachers were so eager to keep their eyes glued to the students that they knew about the noise made by the two of them.

Standing by the window, Teacher Liu was worried: "How dangerous this is! What if Yinghe doesn't hold on tight and Shizhen falls down?"

Chen Heyan smiled and said, "Please take a closer look at what's underneath."

Teacher Liu took a closer look and discovered that a large net had been woven under the school by the mental power of the controller at some point in time.

Fine and dense, covering everywhere.

Even if an accident really happened and Luo Shi really fell down, he would be gently caught by this big net.

Teacher Liu finally felt relieved: "This was done by Teacher Sui, right?"

He sighed, "I used to think Teacher Sui was a cold-hearted person, but I didn't expect that he is quite patient with students."

Sui An, who was mentioned, was also looking at the sky above the school.

Lin Qi felt that winning the river was a great success:

"Isn't this the first angel to fly with a human? Look how happy Shi is! Tsk, why don't I have wings? If I had wings, I would take him flying in the air every day."

Sui An laughed and said, "It's normal for children to love playing and making noises. Let them play."

Lu Qiujin was walking back from the teacher's office with a pile of study materials.

Everything was going smoothly, it was just a way to keep in touch, but it somehow turned into a quiz show.

But it didn't matter. He could clearly feel that every time he answered a question, Luo Shizhen's favorability towards him would increase by one point.

Just finish reading these materials today and copy some other ones tomorrow.

After all, Luo Shizhen will ask him about it in the evening.

In order to be purified, he must of course please the other party.

The confinement time for those three people was about to end. Once they came out, the time the two of them could spend alone in the dormitory would be gone.

Fortunately, this was when he realized that Luo Shi was really attracted to people who studied well.

It’s just a matter of studying. Lu Qiujin is confident that she can keep Luo Shizhen’s attention firmly on herself.

Lu Qiujin was walking in the corridor, marking key points on her study materials with a pen, when she suddenly felt something passing in front of her.

It must be some student fighting again, throwing shot put as a weapon.

He looked up impatiently and saw Luo Shizhen being held by Ying He and flying in the sky.

Lu Qiujin: “…”

When he saw him, Luo Shizhen excitedly waved and greeted him.

"Lu Qiujin!! Look at me! Yinghe is taking me flying!"

“It’s so fun!!”

Lu Qiujin, who couldn't fly: "..."

——Click.

The pen in his hand broke.
