VIP wards in the hospital

Bai Qianmo leaned against the hospital bed; at this moment, only she and Gu Jueye were in the room.

This was the first time the two of them had been silent for so long.

The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes

Bai Qianmo finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Um... there's no need to call an ophthalmologist, my eyes are fine now."

Gu Jueye sat in a chair with a basin in front of him, the water steaming. His long, slender hands were wringing out a towel.

"I've already had someone investigate the thing Bai Xiruo just showed you. It seems that this thing can damage your eyes. Do you know what it is?"

Judging from Qianmo's expression and reaction speed at the time, she seemed to know the origin of that thing.

"That's a rare volcanic rock called 'Black Mirror Stone.' It's said to be formed from an alien meteorite that has been tempered by a volcano for millions of years. The surface of this stone is as smooth as a mirror, and the light it reflects is extremely harmful to the eyes. Bai Xiruo came prepared today."

"However, there is one thing that I don't understand. This kind of stone is very rare. Currently, the only known example is the one in the Nelson-Atkins Museum. It is said that when a volcano erupted in the United States, this stone was brought out by the erupting lava. After being identified by professionals, it was found that this stone does not belong to any mineral on Earth. Subsequently, a geologist from the United States analyzed that the texture of this stone is very similar to a meteorite found in the United States decades ago. Therefore, the relevant experts finally concluded that this black mirror stone is an alien species."

She had heard Grandpa Gu say that the magnetic field of the Black Mirror Stone could disrupt energy, and was especially dangerous to people with superpowers.

Is the black mirror stone that Bai Xiruo obtained the same one as the one in the Nelson-Atkins Museum?

“I will have someone go to the Nelson Museum to inquire about the Black Mirror Stone.”

"Lie down first!"

Bai Qianmo pulled herself back to reality and glanced at the towel in Gu Jueye's hand.

The hospital room was heated. Gu Jueye took off his coat, revealing the shirt she had bought for him underneath.

Her sleeves were loosely rolled up to her elbows, and her hands, with their distinct knuckles, were covered in glistening water droplets that appeared exceptionally translucent and jade-like under the white light.

These hands, holding a slightly hot towel, are gently testing the temperature with the back of their hands.

Bai Qianmo felt a surge of warmth in her heart and obediently lay down.

After Gu Jueye confirmed that the towel wasn't too hot, he folded it and placed it over Bai Qianmo's eyes.

"By the way, you said on the way here that you had found the person who instructed Bai Xiruo. Where is he now?"

"The person has been caught, so you don't need to worry about it too much. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of your eyes."

Bai Qianmo hummed in agreement and stopped asking about that person.

Now that the person is already in Gu Jueye's hands, there's no way they can escape easily.

The ward suddenly fell silent.

Bai Qianmo's eyes were slightly closed, and the warm current from the towel was surrounding her eyes.

"Mr. Gu!"

"kindness?"

"Did you see it today...?"

She had occasional eye flare-ups before; when her eyes turned red, she would lose control of her mind.

At that moment, she felt as if another person's soul was controlling her body, and her actions were not something she could easily control.

If Gu Jueye hadn't intervened in time, she might have killed Bai Xiruo with her own hands.

Gu Jueye peeled an apple, his deep voice slowly rising.

"You must be a superhuman."

Gu Jueye's tone was calm, revealing no sign of anything unusual.

He cut a small piece of the peeled apple and held it to Bai Qianmo's lips.

Bai Qianmo did not show any surprise.

When she asked, she already knew the answer in her heart.

Gu Jueye must have discovered that she was a superhuman, which is why he stepped in to stop her when she became disoriented.

A cool apple was brought to her lips, and Bai Qianmo opened her small mouth to take it in, experiencing a sweet and sour taste.

How did you know?

“The old Chinese medicine doctor who practices at the Yucheng Hotel is one of the top experts in the country. He also mentioned that you had a problem with your eyes, which is why I kept urging you to take medicinal baths during that time, but the effect didn’t seem to be very obvious.”

"Over the years I have studied some cases of people with superpowers. When your eyes showed red light today, I already had the answer in my heart."

Gu Jueye sighed softly.

He studied cell biology, and cell biology and medicine are related, so when he saw Qianmo's eyes turn red, he knew that this was definitely not a symptom of disease.

Over the years, in order to find Zhao Guofeng, he has been trying to gain a deeper understanding of people with superpowers.

With the help of Qianmo's extraordinary skills and some of her behaviors, everything became clear.

That's why he gave Bai Xiruo a warning look when she was about to reveal the truth.

No matter what the girl's identity is, she will never diminish in his heart.

However, the fact that she has superpowers must never be known to outsiders.

When faced with the appearance of "outliers," humanity's inquisitive nature reveals the ugliest aspects of its inner self.

He would stop at nothing to protect her.

"Knock knock knock"

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Jueye placed the apple pieces into a fruit plate on the bedside table.

He took out a tissue to wipe his hands before speaking slowly and deliberately.
