Chapter 257

Qi Xi rubbed his eyes dazedly and sat up, looking around in confusion.

The fear of finding himself in a strange place quickly disappeared when he saw his handsome father sitting on the other side.

"Dragon father?"

Qi Heng noticed it the moment Qi Xi woke up.

Seeing Qi Xi wanted to get out of bed, he walked over to put shoes on the cub and said, "You slept a little too long today."

Qi Xi tilted his head and said, "I don't know why, but I slept so comfortably today."

"Just like when you, Xiong Dad, slept with us."

Perhaps it was related to the pheromones he released, the concentration of his pheromones in the ward was maintained at a relatively appropriate level.

After putting on his shoes and jumping out of bed, Qi Xi tiptoed to the side of Chu Xiu's bed, frowned, and asked him with his head tilted up.

"Male father, why hasn't female father woken up yet?"

"I woke up, but fell asleep again."

"He's usually too tired. It's a rare opportunity, so it would be good for him to rest a little longer, right?"

"The male father is right, so I won't argue with the female father."

Qi Xi carefully withdrew his hand, pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Male father, how long will female father sleep?"

Qi Heng glanced at the time. It had been more than three hours since Chu Xiu woke up and fell asleep again, but he saw that Chu Xiu didn't seem to want to wake up yet.

'A0.'

[The Archon is still in a deep sleep. If not awakened, he will wake up in about two to three hours.]

That would be enough time to take the medicine.

In that case… He glanced at Qi Xi who was clinging to him, “You need to sleep for a while. If you feel bored, I’ll let Ghost play with you, okay?”

According to the book, the length of time that male insect pheromones remain in a confined space is directly proportional to the concentration of the male insect's own pheromones.

Given the concentration of my pheromones, if I leave the ward for a while, the pheromones in the ward will dissipate quickly.

Qi Xi looked at his female father who had not woken up yet. It was really boring to stay here all the time.

"Okay, I'm going to play with Ghost."

Qi Heng opened the door and let the cub out, reminding him, "Go ahead, but don't run too far."

"Yeah, I won't run far, don't worry, father."

Qi Heng closed the door only after confirming that Xizai was pressing the children's light brain on his wrist.

He sent A0 to focus on taking care of the child, and he walked to the bed where Qi Xi had slept, adjusted the most suitable position, and opened the book in the light brain again to read.

Qi Heng reads quite fast. During the few hours that Chu Xiu was asleep, he had already read from the first to the fourth book.

While gaining a more accurate understanding of the male insect's mental power, he also figured out the techniques of using the male insect's mental power on the female insect.

Well, skills in all aspects.

Outside the door.

While communicating with the ghost on the computer, Qi Xi began to explore the medical center.

The last time I came for a check-up with my female father-in-law, but because he didn't have time, they left right after the check-up and he didn't even have a good look around.

Now he doesn't have to worry about running out of time, and with the ghost here, he doesn't need to worry about getting lost.

Anyway, the ghost will show him the right path so that his father won't be unable to find him when he wants to.

Time passes by every second.

By the time Qi Xi climbed up and down the building, played hide-and-seek with A0, and was so tired that he had no strength to run and could only hide and stay still, he had not even figured out half of the scope of the medical center building.

However, more than two hours had passed before I knew it.

During this period, A0 fully took on the role of babysitter and playmate.

It took over a service robot insect from the medical center and asked Qi Xi to hide. It then controlled the robot insect, which was only as tall as Qi Xi's thigh, to search around the building.

In order to increase the fun of the game, it did not turn on the full map perspective plug-in, but it did not turn it off completely - otherwise how could it coax Qi Xi into playing hide-and-seek with it again and again.

The round mechanical insect moved forward with the help of rollers on the ground.

It turned left and right and went straight, rolling to a closed ward.

The mechanical insect's eyes flashed twice, and the passcode was recognized. The lock cylinder of the door in front of it automatically turned a circle and slid inward.

It entered the room, looked left and right, and deliberately delayed for a while before rolling to the corner of the ward. It came across Qi Xi who was hiding next to the cabinet next to the bed.

【I found you.】

"I lost again." Qi Xi lowered his hand that was covering his face, feeling somewhat frustrated. "Ghost, can't you just give me some ground? I'm still a cub."

"Uncle Lan Yi said to let me go."

【But if I give in to you, it won’t be fun anymore. 】

【Don’t you think so? 】

Qi Xi puffed out his cheeks, "Okay, you're right."

"But I'm so tired and a little hungry, I don't want to go on." Qi Xi squatted on the ground with no intention of getting up.

Let's go, then.

"Where are you going?"

"Your father is awake now. Don't you want to go see him? Weren't you just wondering if he was awake?"

"The female father is awake—!"

Qi Xi jumped up and stood up, but after a while he leaned back down again due to lack of energy.

"But I'm really tired."

Qi Xi's physical condition was not yet good enough for him to run up and down for hours without feeling tired. He struggled to stand up and reached out to pat the mechanical insects that were parasitizing the ghost.

"But it's okay, I can walk slowly."

The mechanical bug controlled by A0 stared at the little bug in front of it that was starting to get lazy with its light green mechanical eyes.

On the other side, it received an order from the Lord to send the insect cubs back.

You're walking too slowly.

After calculating that it would take an hour to walk back at Qi Xi's slow pace, A0 directly rejected this plan.

[Come on my back and hold onto my robotic arm. I'll take you back.]

This is faster.

The body of the mechanical insect is about the size of a children's slide. Because it needs to transport medicine, its back is flat when it is made, and it has four multi-purpose robotic arms.

Qi Xi climbed up out of curiosity.

He is also a brave man and is not afraid at all.

【Hold on tight.】

The mechanical insect's two slender mechanical arms stretched out and wrapped around Qi Xi's belly, binding him tightly to itself.

The other two robotic arms stretched out in front of Qi Xi and wrapped around his arms.

[Hold on tight.]

"Okay." Qi Xi hugged him tightly, feeling full of novelty about the next experience. "I'm ready."

【Set off! 】

The rollers under the mechanical insect's feet moved, and it flew out directly carrying the baby insect on its back.

"Wow, I'm flying—"

The speed was so fast that it looked like it was running on the ground, but to the cub placed on its back, it felt like it was flying.

**

In the ward.

Qi Heng gestured for Chu Xiu to take the medicine first, "I've asked Ghost to bring Xizi back. He said he'll be here soon."

Chu Xiu's mental state was much better than before. After drinking some water and swallowing the medicine, he said, "I haven't slept this well in a long time. I just want you to stay here with me the whole time."

"Will it delay your work?"

Chu Xiu knew that he was very busy, and he felt a little guilty about wasting an entire afternoon on him.

"Won't."

"I'll be free for the next while, so I plan to go back and live there. This will also give me time to study your condition."

Chu Xiu was stunned, a little surprised, "Next... you'll be free?"

"Um."

"We will stay here until the end of winter." Qi Heng was of course not talking about the hospital, but the dungeon.

Staying in the dungeon meant that he would move back into the room reserved in the office building, which also meant that they would probably see each other every day from now on.

Chu Xiu soon figured this out.

This was really a surprise to him.

But before he could think of what to say, he saw the emperor in front of him looking at him and said something.

"Why, you're not welcome?"

Chu Xiu's eyes widened in surprise, his beautiful cobalt blue eyes staring at him, "Why do you think so? That's your home too."

Home?

Qi Heng fell into silence.

To be honest, ever since he traveled through time, he felt that this word had nothing to do with him. Wherever he lived or where he slept was just a temporary place to stay for him.

The atmosphere suddenly became so tense that people dared not even breathe. Chu Xiu felt helpless when he saw him silent.

The atmosphere was broken by the sound of knocks on the door.

The door of the ward was well soundproofed, but even so, it couldn't stop the cub from howling at the top of its lungs outside.

"Father Xiong, Father Xiong, please open the door, I'm back——"

Qi Heng turned around and opened the door, feeling relieved. He thought to himself that it was a good thing he had Qi Xi, otherwise he really didn't know how to respond to Chu Xiu's words.

As soon as the door opened, the bug cub couldn't wait to squeeze in through the gap in the door, slipped under his arm and jumped to the side of the bed as if its feet were greased.

"Father, you're awake."

"Yeah, you're awake." Chu Xiu rubbed his head.

"Did the female father sleep well?"

Qi Xi actively stretched his head over so that his female father could rub him more conveniently.

"Slept very well and relaxed."

Qi Xi said with sparkling eyes: "Me too, I slept very well in the afternoon too."

"It's Xiong Dad. Xiong Dad sleeps with us and sleeps well."

Qi Xi turned to look at him, "Father Xiong, come quickly."

Qi Heng sighed inwardly as the cub called him. He thought the cub's personality was too lively and energetic, and it really wasn't very friendly to its parents.

Only at this time would he feel that raising children was truly difficult.

Having A0 really makes things a lot easier.

As expected, I let A0 take charge from now on. It looks like it is happy about it anyway.

Qi Xi took his hand and asked him, "Father Xiong, when will we go home?"

He met Chu Xiu's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and replied.

"Go back now."

"Great." Qi Xi pounced on him.

They leave the medical center.

Qi Heng held Qi Xi in one hand and Chu Xiu's oral anti-allergic medication in the other.

The medicine is enough for three days, and you will be fine after taking it.

Although Chu Xiu was somewhat resistant when he saw the medicine and said that it was okay if he didn't take it, he gave up struggling under his gaze and acquiesced to finishing the medicine.

When I got back to the office building, I went straight to the fourth floor.

The rooms on the fourth floor were distributed on both sides of the corridor, and his room was next to Chu Xiu's.

Standing at the door, Qi Heng said, "I'm going to take a shower. You can eat first if you're hungry."

There happened to be some nutritional supplements left from the lunch break, so he put them in Chu Xiu's hands along with the medicine. "There's one that's more suitable for your current condition. Don't take the generic ones for now."

It is better to be careful with sick female insects.

"Hurry up, Dad Xiong. I'll wait for you." Qi Xi accepted the sweet nutritional supplement well and even liked it after eating it a few times.

"No need to wait for me, um, don't starve yourself."

There is a difference between the nutrients that cubs eat and those that adult Zerg eat, so it is better for them to take small amounts and multiple times.

After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, he pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door in their faces.

Taking a shower is a good opportunity to be alone for a while.
