Qiao Zhiya is a hybrid. Before he was born, his elf father wanted him to have a strong physique unique to dwarfs; while his dwarf mother wanted him to have a tall body unique to elves. And then he ...
After a few mouthfuls, his body regained a little strength, his magic pool began to fill up, and the severe pain in his brain eased a little.
Georgia curled up with sweat all over his head. After taking a few quick breaths, he finally felt less uncomfortable. He struggled to sit up, held the Flesh in the Stone in his arms, tore it off bit by bit and fed it to Chu Rong's mouth. Fortunately, the Flesh in the Stone would quickly soften after being separated from the body, making it very convenient to feed. Otherwise, with one of them unconscious and the other weak, they would not be able to save themselves even with medicine.
The painful look on Chu Rong's face gradually eased. The black spots floating in the air seemed to sense the threat and suddenly rolled towards the meat in the stone. Georgia was shocked. Without waiting for the magic pool to be filled, she extended her magic power again and consciously used magic to surround the two people and keep the black spots outside.
The fog gradually filled the room, and the black spots became more and more violent and powerful.
His magic power was soon exhausted again, and his body softened and he fell back onto Chu Rong. He finally realized that he could not let the mist drift like this any longer, so he hardened his heart and simply extended his magic power to pull the mist into his magic pool one after another. Then he stretched out his finger and touched Chu Rong's brow, and began to condense magic power at the same time, and at the same time used his mouth to tear off the meat in the stone and feed it to Chu Rong.
Faster, faster, absorb more, force all the black spots out, just force them out...
There was no other thought in his mind. While drawing the mist into his body, he forced out pure magic power to probe into Chu Rong's sea of spiritual power, and carefully forced out the sporadic mist that drifted in and the black spots that spread throughout the sea of spiritual power.
Perhaps it was because it had been contaminated for too long. The deeper he went, the more tightly Chu Rong's mental power and the black spots became entangled. He gradually could not spare the energy to separate them bit by bit. In the end, he simply dug out the black spots along with the contaminated mental power, and then guided the power of the flesh in the stone to fill the places where the mental power had been hollowed out.
Time passed bit by bit, and when there was only the last piece of meat in the stone left, Chu Rong's sea of mental power was finally cleared out. The black spot along with the contaminated mental power were all hollowed out, and it was filled with undigested power of the meat in the stone.
In contrast, there was a thick black mist in the air that was almost condensed into substance, and gray mist and scattered black spots in the Georgia Magic Pool. If he had not absorbed a lot of the power of the Stone Meat while feeding Chu Rong, he might have collapsed long ago.
After completing the most difficult step, Georgia withdrew her magic power and closed her eyes to ease the pain in the magic pool.
...These things must be led away, otherwise the white-haired monster will likely be contaminated again.
Thinking this way, he endured the severe pain and slid down from the sofa to the ground. He got up and drew a defense and purification magic circle around Chu Rong. He even put all the intact protective shields on his body on him. Then he extended magic power over a large area, deliberately seducing the black spots floating in the air and leading them to float out of the lounge.
For the black spots that had lost their spiritual nourishment, the magic at this moment seemed both delicious and tempting. They were almost immediately led away by Georgia's magic. After a while, the only people left in the lounge were Chu Rong, who was lying quietly, and the magic circle that was slowly operating beside him. There was no trace of the ominous black color in the air anymore.
Georgia led the black fog upwards, far away from the lounge, and finally collapsed on the rooftop of the battle hall. After closing her eyes to rest for a while, she took out the last piece of meat from the stone, absorbed its power, stood up and began to draw the confinement circle and the purification circle.
——These harmful things will not disappear easily, we have to find a way to get rid of them.
With the help of the Flesh in Stone, the magic circle was drawn smoothly, but the pain in the magic pool tortured Georgia to the point of madness. He was like a filter, absorbing the power of the Flesh in Stone, quickly converting it into magic, and then using it out like water.
The first thing to take shape was the confinement array. After activating it, he once again increased the magic power in his body and stretched it out, making himself like a light bulb, attracting all the black spots around him to "flock to a flame". Then, he began to draw the purification array.
The sky gradually brightened. The meat in the stone in his hand had been used up. He drew the last stroke of the purification array and collapsed powerlessly in the center of the array. He looked at the black mist that was rushing outward madly but could not leave no matter what. He curled the corners of his mouth, forced out the last bit of magic power to activate the array, and slowly closed his eyes.
Please, please hold on a little longer...
He could faintly hear a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. He wanted to open his eyes, but he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.
It hurts... I'm so tired... He wants to sleep for a while...
The first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the clouds and shone all over the world, but it could not shine into the ominous darkness in the center of the rooftop that seemed to be bound by some invisible object.
Chu Rong stopped outside the confinement magic circle, looking at the lonely and miserable little figure lying in the circle. His madly beating heart seemed to stop for a second. With the strength in his body surging, he stepped forward, gently picked up the person, and held him tightly in his arms.
“Georgia.”
The dwarf boy lay obediently in his arms, his head drooping, his face pale, his short platinum hair disheveled, his ears drooping limply, like a weak little animal sleeping quietly.
“Why don’t you listen…” As he spoke, his grip tightened and his voice became deeper and lower.
After noticing that the radiation in the air suddenly began to weaken, Zhuang Yu immediately took action, first preparing various instruments, then putting on protective clothing, and said urgently: "Get ready to go in, the radiation has weakened, the commander should have woken up, or consciously suppressed his strength, now is the time, hurry up!"
The people who had been waiting the whole night like stone sculptures were startled back to their senses by these words and quickly started to move.
Chu Yan immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
"Minors, stay here!" Zhuang Yu refused sternly, saying seriously, "Radiation contamination is no joke. You'll only cause trouble if you go. Don't mess around!"
Chu Yan clenched his fists unwillingly and wanted to be willful for once, but his reason told him that Zhuang Yu was right. He turned around and sat down in frustration, raising his hand to grab his hair.
After so long, Joe might have already...
"Sister Zhuang! The radiation value suddenly began to drop sharply, seventy... forty... thirty... Oh my God, it dropped to zero, what's going on?" The assistant who had been staring at the monitoring equipment suddenly exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and rushed to the instrument.
Before they could digest the news, the old butler on the other side suddenly said, "The surveillance camera in the main house sent a video. A large mass of thick black fog suddenly appeared on the roof of the mecha battle building, just like... those things that floated out of the black hole back then..."
Black hole?
After the surprise came shock. The atmosphere instantly froze and even Zhuang Yu stopped what he was doing.
"Go in and take a look!" Chu Huai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, expressionless, "There's no point in making random guesses. Since the radiation has weakened, let's go in!"
Zhuang Yu turned his head to look at the various data jumping on the instrument, bent down to pick up the medicine box that had been prepared on the ground, and took the lead to walk out, raising his voice and saying, "Get the things and go!"
Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed him - since the radiation was gone, the only reason stopping him from going in was gone!
Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an looked at each other and followed quickly without stopping him.
Everyone rushed into the battle hall and first entered the lounge, but saw nothing. They then climbed up to the rooftop, but only saw a large mass of black fog that seemed to be trapped by something. There was no trace of Chu Rong and Georgia anywhere, nor was there any trace of the black hole.
"What's going on?" Chu Huai frowned.
Chu Yan thought of a possibility, his face turned pale, and he said with difficulty: "Could it be that my second brother and Qiao were eaten by the black hole..." There have been cases in history where black holes swallowed humans.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this, and Gu Yan'an's legs even went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming desperate and heavy, Zhuang Yu's communicator suddenly rang. She had no time to care about it at the moment and was about to turn it off. However, after seeing the name of the applicant, she quickly withdrew her hand and answered the call, saying excitedly, "Where are you, sir? How are you? I——"
"Come to my room." Chu Rong said coldly, looking at Georgia curled up on the bed and moaning unconsciously, his voice was filled with a subtle anxiety: "There is something wrong with Georgia."
Before everyone had time to be surprised when they heard his voice, they frowned again because of what he said.
The smile that had just appeared on Chu Yan's face froze, and he suddenly turned around and jumped down from the rooftop. After jumping up and down between the buildings a few times, he quickly ran towards the main house.
A large number of medical instruments quickly filled Chu Rong's room. All things except the bed were moved away, the purification and isolation equipment was turned on, and the huge repair equipment was dismantled and moved from Zhuang Yu's private laboratory as quickly as possible. Expensive medicines were transported here as if they were free.
Zhuang Yu flipped through the test results, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, with a hint of frustration. He said, "The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Qiao's mental power has been contaminated. However, because his power cannot be detected by instruments or detected by other people, I have no idea of the extent of his contamination, and I don't even know where his mental power is hidden. There is no way to treat him specifically."
"Use the purification fluid to stabilize his condition first." Chu Rong stood by the repair chamber, watching Georgia who was still struggling weakly in the instrument. His expression looked calm, but his body language was very tense. He whispered, "At least let him sleep more peacefully."
"We have used them all." Zhuang Yu also looked at the repair chamber, blinked his red eyes, and said, "But it's useless... Such a damn expensive medicine is useless! Qiao's strength is not strong to begin with, and the degree of contamination is still unknown. If there is no targeted treatment, he is likely to..."
She didn't say the rest, but everyone present understood.
If your mental energy is polluted and cannot be treated or controlled, there are only two outcomes: going crazy or dying in pain.
Chu Yan began to pull his hair anxiously again. Chu Huai frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe..."
"Bring the jade here." Chu Rong suddenly interrupted them, his eyes still fixed on Georgia in the repair room, with a faint spiritual power emanating from his body. He added, "The more the better, and the higher the quality the better."
After the medicine, a large amount of jade was transported into the Chu family’s main residence.
Chu Rong ignored Zhuang Yu's dissuasion and took Georgia out of the repair chamber, put her on a human-sized piece of high-grade jade, then lay down on it and held Georgia in his arms.
The others had no choice but to wait outside the room in silence, hoping that Georgia would get better soon.
As a result, this defense lasted for a whole week.
During this period, the outside world tried to find out about the Chu family's situation, and even tried to use hidden cameras to sneak into the Chu family's house, but they were all blocked out by the Chu family's strict protective isolation equipment. Now it is the holiday season, and there is no need to go to work. The Chu family has completely closed the house, not seeing guests or going out, and the outside world can't do anything to them.
The heads of the various families were helpless and could only infer from the fact that Chu's family suddenly entered the house and frantically carried instruments and medicines in that Chu Rong was probably not dead, but was seriously injured.
Later, the president lost his patience and took the lead in sending a visiting invitation to the Chu family on the pretext of visiting a patient. However, Chu Huai directly rejected the invitation on the grounds that there was still residual radiation in the Chu family's house.
Some people also tried to start from Gu Yanan's maternal family, the Gu family, and inquired in a roundabout way, but they did not expect that the Gu family also closed its doors to visitors. The reason they gave was obviously a lie, that the whole family went out for a trip together, which made people from various major families very angry.
The news of Chu Rong's accident was so loud that it could not be concealed. The major families did not want to conceal it at all. In order to force the Chu family to come out and explain the situation as soon as possible, they even deliberately promoted the spread of the news.
So within just a few days, the entire federation, including the empire, received news that Chu Rong's mental power had once again become violent and his life or death was unknown.
The people were boiling with excitement.
Because of the war ten years ago, the Chu family has always had a special place in the hearts of mankind. And now, the genius boy who endured the harm of the worm mother, forced the worm mother back into the black hole in a self-destructive manner after his parents died one after another, killed the worm mother and isolated the radiation, after being tortured by radiation pollution for ten years, still could not escape the fate of violent mental power and was wandering on the edge of life and death.
How could this happen? He was their hero, the spiritual pillar that encouraged them to cheer up quickly after the war. They had just seen his kind and easy-going side in front of his family. The festival wasn't even over yet, how could something happen to him?
The star network was lit up with candles of blessing, and everyone was anxiously waiting for a result.
Chu's house.
As if waking up from a heavy and chaotic dream, Georgia opened his eyes groggily and found himself standing in a pure black space again. What was worse was that he could not even sense his own body this time.
"Dad...Mom..."
He wanted to call out, but no sound came out.
Just as his consciousness was about to sink into darkness again, the familiar wood and earth magic condensed into two light bands that surrounded him. He closed his eyes, vaguely heard a roar coming from deep in his brain, and then his consciousness returned to reality.
Severe pain swept through his body and he twitched unconsciously. Before he could figure out the situation around him, his thoughts were dragged into the pool of magic deep in his brain.
The inhaled mist had condensed into gray water droplets at some point, covering the dried-up magic pool, with some familiar black spots wandering in it. Cracks were faintly visible on the wall of the magic pool, and it seemed that it could break at any time.
"pain……"
He wanted to roll over and struggle, but he had no strength at all.
"It's all right."
My body was suddenly hugged tightly, and something warm was pressed against my forehead. A familiar spiritual power gently enveloped me, and a familiar low voice sounded in my ears: "Georgia, you can do it, hold on, you can do it."
The black spot in the magic pool seemed to be very afraid of that mental power, and it calmed down immediately. The pain eased a little, and he finally noticed the rich wood magic fluctuations under his body. He instinctively put his hand on it and absorbed it frantically.
After the magic power entered the magic pool, it instinctively wanted to expel those black spots. In a daze, he remembered the familiar mental fluctuations around him, and immediately suppressed this instinct. Instead, he drove the magic power to draw a purification array above the magic pool.
I can't force it out, it will hurt the people around me... I just need to purify it... As long as I purify it...
His consciousness became blurred again, and only his instinct was still absorbing magic power. Then he drew a purification circle over and over again above the magic power pool.
The person in Georgia's arms gradually calmed down, and the emerald under her began to lose color at a speed visible to the naked eye from the point where Georgia's palm was touching, and gradually turned into a large gray stone.
Chu Rong's tense heartstrings relaxed a little. He bent down and kissed Georgia's forehead hard, stood up, helped him tidy up his bangs, then moved all the jade in the room and piled them next to him. He bent down and touched his forehead, kissed him again, stood up and walked out of the room.
"How's Qiao?" Chu Yan, who was squatting outside the door, stood up immediately when he saw the door open. Everyone else also looked at Chu Rong who came out.
"It's stabilized for now." Chu Rong replied, then looked at Chu Huai and asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Chu Huai looked at his expression and saw that he finally looked a little normal. He suddenly let out a long breath, walked forward to hug him, patted his shoulder hard, and calmed down after a while. He stepped back a little, pulled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, trying to look more relaxed, and replied: "What do you think... Second brother, I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing, is your illness... getting better?"
After everyone rushed in, they only knew that Qiao was contaminated by radiation, but they had no idea what happened to Chu Rong, who looked normal.
Although Chu Rong looked calm during the days when Qiao was in a coma, his emotions had always been a little off. Everyone was concerned that his mental power had just gone wild and was afraid of irritating him, so they did not dare to ask him.
The Chu family knew about the speculations and rumors from the outside world. They did not respond not because they wanted to keep people in suspense, but because they really did not know. Chu Rong had always been unwilling to leave Georgia, and they could not drag him to get checked.
"How is it?" Chu Rong asked meaninglessly, lowered his head to look at the palm of his hand, felt the strange power in his spiritual sea, and replied: "I don't know what it is now, but the radiation that bothered me has completely disappeared from my spiritual sea... Thanks to Georgia."
He still vaguely remembers the feeling of his sea of spiritual power being gently hollowed out and cleared by a gentle force. The naive boy said he would help him cure his illness, and he really cured his illness at all costs, even at the cost of hurting his own body.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became nervous again. He put down his hand and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, you don't have to wait outside." Then he turned and strode into the room, locking himself and Georgia together again.
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds by the news he threw out. Some of them couldn't believe it, and there was also a dreamlike feeling of confusion, but there was also a hint of surprise in the confusion.
Gu Yan'an, who was standing behind Chu Huai, suddenly took a step back, leaned against the railing and fell to the ground. He raised his hands to cover his face and cried softly, saying intermittently: "Disappeared... Is it what I thought? It's been ten years, ten years..."
Chu Huai came back to his senses, squatted down and hugged her. He couldn't help but have red eyes, but he forced a smile and said loudly: "Prepare for a response. Those people outside have been waiting for the result of the second brother for ten years. I wonder if they are satisfied with this answer!"
Satisfied? No, no, no! They are not satisfied! Extremely dissatisfied! This result is simply a bolt from the blue!
Everyone looked at the brief announcement issued by the Chu family spokesperson in disbelief, and read the sentence "Chu Rong turned a disaster into a blessing. The impact of radiation has been completely eliminated. Thank you for your concern and blessings" over and over again. They felt that they might not have learned the common language well and suddenly became illiterate.
How could they believe this result which was completely contrary to their expectations!
impossible!
Unscientific!
This must be an excuse used by the Chu family to stabilize the situation! If Chu Rong is really well, why doesn't he come out to explain the situation in person? So this announcement must be fake! Fake!
No one in the major families believed that this announcement was true, but the people had already started to celebrate, cheering and celebrating the complete recovery of their hero, and sighing that God really has eyes and rewards good people!
The festive atmosphere suddenly reached its peak, and the air was filled with joy everywhere.
The president sent a visiting invitation to the Chu family again. Each family could not sit still and sent invitations to the Chu family. However, without exception, they were all rejected by Chu Huai. The reason was very high-sounding - Chu Rong has just recovered, his mental strength is still unstable, and he needs to rest. Please understand.
What the hell is consideration!
The bosses couldn't help but swear and smashed the furniture in anger.
You should give me a definite answer whether he is dead or not. Why are you keeping us on suspense? They will not be fooled by an announcement. It is not easy for something that combines the worm mother toxin and black hole radiation to turn into a blessing in disguise! Before Chu Rong shows up in person, don't think they will believe that Chu Rong is really fine!
The people in power of the other families became very irritable, but the people of the Chu family quickly became alert and began to actively deal with the matters that had been put on hold for the past few days.
The first was the huge mass of black fog on the top of the Mecha Battle Hall. Although they didn't know what trapped them, they had to seize the opportunity. After learning that these were the things that had been harassing Chu Rong for ten years, the Chu family unanimously directed all advanced purification equipment at it and brutally eliminated it completely.
——When you were hiding in the spiritual sea of the second brother/the superior/the second elder brother/the second young master, no one could do anything to you. Now that you have been stripped naked and caught here, don't expect to stay here safely!
After dealing with the culprit, the Chu family carried out the most thorough cleaning in history, eliminating the possibility of residual radiation and ensuring that no one in the family would be harmed by radiation again.
After clearing the hidden dangers in the open, Chu Huai began to deal with the hidden dangers in secret.
He first sent people to destroy all the equipment that might have captured what happened that night, and completely erased Georgia's shadow from Chu Rong's recovery, so as to avoid causing speculation and malice towards Georgia from others. Then he began to deal with the rumors from the outside world in a drastic manner, so as to prevent the major powers from taking the opportunity to make a fuss.
Finally, everyone who needs to rest can rest, and those who need to continue buying jade anonymously can buy jade and wait for Georgia to wake up.
Georgia was awakened by the heat. The grey water droplets in the magic pool slowly turned white under the effect of the purification array, merged with the replenished magic power, and dug towards the depths of the magic pool.
The magic power and the white water droplets together roasted the wall of the magic pool, causing it to slowly soften. Then the cracks disappeared, and a stronger and wider magic pool gradually formed.
"hot……"
He unconsciously pushed away the warm embrace and began to sweat all over his body.
Chu Rong opened his eyes and saw that he was twisting uncomfortably and his hands had left the jade under him. He frowned, quickly sat up, bent down, picked him up, put him in the repair chamber, and called Zhuang Yu in.
A cool white mist surrounded him, and Georgia hummed comfortably. The heat in his brain reached its peak, then suddenly and quickly warmed up. The white water droplets mixed in the magic power silently dissolved and dissipated into the magic pool. His body completely relaxed, his breathing gradually became smooth, and his face became rosy.
The instrument made a slight sound and spit out the latest test results.
"The pollution value is zero. Qiao is fine." Zhuang Yu was overjoyed. He flipped through the test results in his hand and quickly scanned the most important data. His eyes became brighter and brighter. He said happily, "Everything has returned to normal. It's fine. Qiao is completely fine!"
Chu Yan, who was sitting nervously on the side, jumped up immediately after hearing this and asked excitedly, "Really? Is Qiao really okay?"
Zhuang Yu smiled and nodded, feeling that the stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days had finally been lifted. His voice unconsciously became cheerful, and he said again, "It's okay. I knew he would be fine. His power is quite special, and he has a certain self-healing ability. The radiation he inhaled into his body was eliminated by himself."
Chu Yan pounded the wall happily, then turned around and ran to tell his elder brother and sister-in-law the good news.
Zhuang Yu laughed and shook his head when he saw this, then turned around and prepared to persuade Chu Rong to get a check-up as well, but he saw the other party tilt his head and press his eyes, and his other hand on the repair chamber trembled for a few seconds, then clenched into a fist.
She was stunned, her heart softened, she lowered her head and smiled, then backed out of the room and closed the door gently.
It was midnight when Georgia woke up again, with Chu Rong, who seemed a little thinner, lying beside her.
My memory is a little fuzzy and my mind is still a little confused, as if I were feeling half awake after a long sleep.
He stared blankly with his eyes open for a while, then he stood up blankly and shook Chu Rong beside him, with a look of aggrieved look in his eyes.
Chu Rong, who was only a light sleeper, immediately opened his eyes. Seeing him sitting there, he was stunned for a moment, sat up, touched his forehead, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Georgia shook her head somewhat slowly, threw her arms around his neck, leaned on him, sniffed, and looked like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong?" Chu Rong tightened his embrace, patted his back soothingly, turned his head to kiss his forehead, and felt sour in his heart. He frowned and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Wait a minute, I'll call Zhuang Yu over. Do you want Cui Yu? You——"
Gurgle——
The sound of the hungry stomach sounded particularly obvious in the quiet environment. Georgia felt even more aggrieved. She buried her head in his arms and complained, "I'm so hungry... White-haired monster, why don't you give me food? You said you would feed me... I don't want you anymore, I want to go home..." As she spoke, she nudged him harder. Her voice was a little unclear, and it was obvious that she had not woken up yet.
Chu Rong: “…”
"I want to go find my parents..." Georgia seemed to be very hungry. As she spoke, she actually bit him. Her teeth were so small that they didn't seem to pose any threat, but they hurt a lot when she bit him.
Chu Rong's body tensed up immediately, and the arms around him also tightened. All the warmth in his heart was swept away, his eyebrows jumped, and with a cold face, he got up from bed holding him, and walked out with big strides while holding the back of his head, scolding: "You dare to run around, why go back home? This is your home. Be honest! I'll take you to eat."
"Why are you so fierce..." Georgia actually cried.
Chu Rong froze, standing still with a stern face. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head vigorously. His face trembled, but he still couldn't force a gentle look. He just tried to slow down his voice and coaxed, "I'm not mean to you... I'll make whatever you want to eat."
"Can you cook?" Georgia stopped crying immediately and looked up at him.
There were still water drops on his curled eyelashes. Chu Rong's heart softened when he saw it. His expression naturally softened. His brows seemed to be frowning impatiently, but his voice softened completely. He held him firmly with one hand, used his free hand to wipe his eyes, and said, "You are so stupid... You can do it. I will make you whatever you want to eat."
"Then I want to eat steak!" Georgia immediately became happy, tilted her head and rubbed his palm with intimacy.
Chu Rong's face darkened and he refused, "No, you just woke up and you have been relying on nutritional supplements to replenish your energy. Suddenly, your stomach can't handle the large amount of meat. You can only eat liquid food during this period."
Georgia's ears drooped, and she buried her head in his shoulder and began to cry again.
How did this guy become so, so...
"Stop crying!" Chu Rong scolded with a cold face.
Georgia tilted her head, her crying became quieter, and her body began to tilt downward.
He was startled and hurriedly hugged him. Then he looked down and found that the person who was just shouting that he was hungry had fallen asleep again with his mouth slightly open, as if the commotion just now was just sleepwalking.
This is really...
He stood there with his expression changing for a while, and finally, looking impatient, he gently lifted the person up and turned back to the room.
...What a troublesome bastard!
The next morning, Georgia was truly awake, with a rosy complexion and full of energy. She had completely forgotten what happened last night, and also did not remember most of what happened after she carried Chu Rong into the lounge. It was as if because of the excessive pain, her brain consciously cleared the painful memories that followed.
Zhuang Yu's explanation for this was that although the radiation inhaled by Georgia was purified and healed by himself, it still had some impact that needed time to slowly eliminate. The specific manifestation was that Georgia would become confused from time to time during this period.
After hearing this conclusion, Chu Rong thought of the commotion last night, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Georgia beside him.
Georgia, who was leaning on the bed and drinking porridge, noticed his gaze and looked up from the bowl. She blushed and wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth. She shyly turned her ears back and pushed the bowl in front of him, whispering, "Are you hungry too? Here, I'll share with you."
"...No, I'm not hungry." Chu Rong's expression relaxed again. He raised his hand to push back his bangs that had grown much longer, and moved the side dishes that were placed far away towards his hand.
Georgia smiled at him happily and tilted her head to rub his palm.
Chu Rong rubbed his ears cooperatively, but his brows furrowed slightly.
The vacation ended unknowingly, and the report to the junior college was about to start, which made Chu Yan very distressed.
"Georgia is not confused, he is completely stupid." Chu Yan lay on the rattan table in the garden, looking at Georgia playing with a nest of rabbits on the grass, raised his hand and grabbed his hair: "What should we do? School is about to start. He said before that he wanted to take the skipping exam. How can he take the exam in this state?"
Yuan Xiu, who was sitting next to him, also looked in Georgia's direction and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him? He's very normal, he just said hello to me, there's nothing wrong with him."
"You don't understand..." Chu Yan waved his hands, wanting to cry but unable to, "He does look normal at first glance, but from what I've observed, his mental state has at least regressed by five years, and this is still a conservative estimate. Really, believe me, the previous Qiao Ke wouldn't have done something like crying when he was hungry."
"Ah?" Yuan Xiu was surprised. He glanced at Georgia not far away and his eyes widened. "No way, he cries because he's hungry? This is too... Does he still remember what he learned?"
Chu Yan thought of Zhuang Yu's diagnosis and felt even more devastated. He replied, "I don't know. Don't ask me. My second brother is protecting Qiao like crazy. I don't dare to ask blindly. I'm just hoping that Sister Zhuang Yu's diagnosis is reliable and Qiao will be able to return to normal after this period."
Speaking of Chu Rong, Yuan Xiu finally remembered the main purpose of his visit. He turned his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on in your family? Why was it Chu Rong who got into trouble before, but now it's Qiao who has become stupid? Besides, the holidays are over, your eldest brother and his wife have gone back to work, but your family hasn't given you a definite answer. Your second brother even took a long vacation and didn't go out at all, as if he was deliberately hiding from something. Now there are rumors out there that your family is urgently looking for a replacement."
"What a mess." Chu Yan frowned and sat up, waving his hand and said, "Hasn't the promise been given long ago? My second brother is already well, completely well, and is trying to stabilize his mental strength recently. What are you spreading nonsense about?"
"Then why don't you ever see guests at your house?" Yuan Xiu continued to ask.
Chu Yan's expression became even weirder. He turned his head to look at him and replied, "Not seeing guests? Then how did you get in? Yuan Xiu, are you stupid too?"
Yuan Xiu's eyes widened suddenly, he looked down at himself, scratched his head, and wondered: "Yeah, then how did I get in?"
“…”
“…”
A sharp mental force suddenly came from behind him. Yuan Xiu instinctively straightened his back and turned his head to look in the direction where the mental force came from.
"Relax, it's my second brother. His mental strength has been a little unstable recently, and he can't be locked up, so he can't go out at all." Chu Yan patted his friend's shoulder soothingly, then looked at Chu Rong who was walking towards him with a cold face, waved and greeted: "Second brother! Why did you come out? Where's Sister Zhuang Yu?"
Chu Rong approached and glanced in the direction of Georgia first. After making sure that he was okay, he looked at Chu Yan and waved at him as a response. Then he looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "Do you know what to say when you leave the Chu family and go to school?"
"Ah? Ah... Oh, I know, I understand." Yuan Xiu nodded vigorously, realizing that he was let in this time to be a mouthpiece. Then he suddenly realized and replied, "But I'm not going to school today. It's not time to report yet."
"No, you have to go." Chu Rong replied, then looked at Chu Yan and said, "You have to go too. Georgia's advanced exam has been moved up to today. You should go with him and help him with the leave of absence procedures."
Chu Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked back: "Grade skipping test? With Qiao's current condition?"
Chu Rong's aura suddenly turned cold, and he looked at him with deep eyes. His sharp mental power, which was not very obvious at first, immediately became stronger. He circled around the two of them with a fierce look, and replied, "Do you think he can't handle a mere skipping test?"
Parents who are blindly confident and mindlessly protect their own shortcomings are really scary!
Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu were shocked and shook their heads at the same time. Chu Yan said quickly, "No problem, no problem. Qiao will definitely pass the exam. Don't worry, brother. I promise to bring him back the same way I brought him out!"
Chu Rong felt reluctantly satisfied. He suppressed his scattered mental energy a little, nodded at them, turned around and strode to Georgia, picked up both the person and the rabbit, and walked towards the main house.
Yuan Xiu stared in amazement as Chu Rong carried Georgia away intimately. He finally realized something and turned to look at Chu Yan. He spoke incoherently and stammered, "Your second brother... and Qiao... why did they... carry Georgia... so..."
"Calm down." Chu Yan patted his shoulder and sighed with a vicissitudes of life.
