Chapter 272

"You can arrange the rest."

【Don't worry, with A0 in charge of your itinerary, there will be absolutely no conflicts in your schedule.】

[You can free up time tomorrow afternoon and the day after tomorrow...]

Qi Heng listened to A0's words carelessly, thinking about Chu Xiu's current situation.

Going to see Chu Xiu is his regular schedule recently.

Since the last time, he has sorted out Chu Xiu's mental power twice, and after the sorting, the situation has improved as A0 said.

However, it still did not achieve the expected effect.

The conclusion is that another mental review is needed, and the star core also needs another treatment. Today's treatment is over, and the first phase of treatment is almost over.

This time, the treatment mainly targets the symptoms of astral orifice blockage, mental disorder, and astral core fragmentation. As for the subsequent treatment... although it is helpless, even the system cannot provide an accurate treatment plan.

After all, Chu Xiu has a lot of problems, and these three points that can be figured out are the lightest ones. The remaining problems are more serious than each other.

When it was about to approach the area where the underground city was located, the aircraft in automatic driving mode began to lower its altitude, flying over the buildings below and heading towards its destination.

The one left behind below is a construction site, located outside Area 49 and between the mining area, which is very suitable for building an industrial area related to construction materials.

In the early stages of building the gathering place, materials can be sent to Tianyun Star by the Chamber of Commerce, but they cannot be relied upon all the time.

After getting through the initial stage, the materials needed afterwards can be completely sourced and produced locally on Tianyun Star.

After the light and heavy industries on Tianyun Star are restored, many by-products will be produced, so there is no need to waste transportation capacity.

While saving transportation costs, the caravan can also transport more high-tech equipment and various spare parts that Tianyun Star is not yet able to be self-sufficient.

The road ahead is long and the task is arduous.

He clicked on the system's original player platform interface and browsed the brief information on the page from the latest system log.

Although this information is brief, it involves all aspects of the Tianjia civilization revival plan.

He only needs to check his progress every day to avoid A0 nagging him every day, which is a good deal for him.

Because when the last treatment ended, Qi Heng told Chu Xiu that he would go find her today, so when he arrived, Chu Xiu had already finished the things at hand and was waiting for him.

It's rare. I didn't see any cubs rushing towards me when I came here today.

"Why isn't Qi Xi here?"

"I'm here." A chubby little carrot head popped out from behind the table.

Qi Heng lowered his head and said, "Why are you hiding behind the table?"

"I want to see if Xiong's father will look for me." Qi Xi's eyebrows curved, and he pulled Chu Xiu's hand beside him, shook it, and said, "I said Xiong's father would definitely look for me."

Helpless, he put his big hand on Qi Xi's head, ruffling the boy's neatly combed black hair.

"Is it boring to be alone?"

Qi Xi didn't mind his hair being messed up at all. Rather, he regarded it as an intimate interaction between father and son.

"Father Xiong, you are so smart."

"Don't worry, you'll have a place to go in a few days."

The kindergarten in District 49 was built quite quickly.

I just looked at the construction progress. The main part of the kindergarten has been completed, and what remains is the interior decoration and decoration.

The youngest female insect studying in the teaching building is over sixteen years old.

Since the current adult age of female insects in the gathering place is sixteen, and there is a real shortage of manpower, Qi Heng did not change it.

In fact, both female and male insects enter sub-adulthood at the age of eighteen.

In the past Tianjia civilization, female insects had to complete their initial evolution before they could be considered adults.

Male insects also have a similar process - they need to wait until the first mental evolution period of sub-adulthood is over before they can be considered truly adults.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Given the current situation of the Tianjia civilization, the method of action is secondary.

Although the kindergarten that Qi Heng planned to build was called a kindergarten, this was only because the age limit for insect cubs was five years old. In fact, it also accepted female insect cubs under the age of sixteen.

Therefore, this is actually a school where kindergarten seamlessly transitions to primary and secondary education.

It mainly serves as a place to care for young insects, free up time for adult female insects, and allow the insects to learn something. Regarding learning, it also supports applying for a grade skip after completing the course and passing the assessment.

"Is this the kindergarten that Xiongfu mentioned? A place with lots of bug babies?"

Although Qi Xi had learned a lot from the optical computer, he obviously still lacked a real understanding of school and remembered what he had said before.

"right."

Taking care of Qi Xi, who is easy to take care of, is not a big deal for Chu Xiu, but it is not good to stay with them all the time. It would be better for him to go out more and interact with children of the same age.

"Okay, I need to check your sire. Now go play on your own for a while."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go play with Lele a few days ago? After the examination, I will take you to see Lele."

As soon as he mentioned going out to play, Qi Xi immediately smiled and couldn't close his mouth.

"Then male father, please check the female father quickly-"

Seeing this, Chu Xiu, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that Qi Xi probably didn't remember what happened last night, he saw Qi Xi, who was about to leave, suddenly stop.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Qi Xi frowned and complained to him, "Father Xiong, let me tell you, Father Female secretly woke up again last night and refused to let me go find you."

"Is the female father very naughty?"

Hearing this, Qi Heng looked at Chu Xiu who was standing beside him and replied, "He is quite naughty. Father Xiong will have a good talk with him later."

Qi Xi blinked and said loudly: "It's okay for the male father to say a few words to the female father, but you must not quarrel."

Although she has always shown the same closeness to both of her parents, she is very dependent on Qi Heng because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Qi Heng.

But at the same time, as the amiable little cotton-padded jacket of the female father, Qi Xi would also favor Chu Xiu.

There's no way around it, since Chu Xiu came, it has been Chu Xiu who has been taking care of him.

"No." Qi Heng tapped the cub's forehead and made another note of A0 in his mind.

Only bored A0 would talk about this kind of thing with Qi Xi.

Qi Xi got the answer he wanted and ran away without staying for a second.

Qi Heng walked over and closed the door, then turned around and looked at Chu Xiu, who was still standing there motionless, thinking that he was punishing him by making him stand.

"Explain." He raised an eyebrow.

"I……"

Chu Xiu pursed his lips and said apologetically: "Sorry, it's my problem."

Qi Heng was not surprised by this apology at all. He walked over to the sofa and sat down, his expression indifferent and unremarkable.

"What did I tell you before? Do you need me to repeat it now?"

"If you say you're not feeling well, I'll go find you next door."

Chu Xiuyi was so nervous that he couldn't help forgetting the name. The words that came out of his mouth made the listener's face look helpless.

"Well, you remember it clearly, so why don't you come find me."

"I didn't mean to not come to you, it was just too late."

"Besides, I just felt a little uncomfortable and it will be gone soon. I didn't expect Xizi to see it." Chu Xiu tried to explain, but to Qi Heng, it sounded like a quibble.

Qi Xi slept soundly at night, and for some reason, he woke up feeling unwell last night.

"If this happens again next time, I will definitely remember it."

Qi Heng only believed half of what Chu Xiu said.

Considering Chu Xiu's pain threshold and tolerance, this "mild" pain only affects him. As for the short duration... this "short duration" is also quite exaggerated.

Qi Heng thought so in his heart, but he didn't have any intention of holding on to it.

He knew that it would not be easy for Chu Xiu to get used to or adapt to the fact of "trouble himself", so he gave Chu Xiu time to get used to it.

It is not so easy to get an independent person to get used to relying on another person when he is vulnerable and uncomfortable. There is no need to be angry about this.

What's more, Chu Xiu and I have not known each other for a long time, and we cannot say that we have deep feelings or a good friendship. The only trust we can give to each other is based on our past identities.

Qi Heng also knew that the relationship between him and Chu Xiu was strange, but most of this mess was caused by their youth and ignorance.

What can he do?

The only thing he could think of was that he hoped they could spend enough time together to change their current relationship, which was so painful that he couldn't bear to look at it and couldn't help but avoid it.

Qi Heng didn't continue what Chu Xiu said, but just said, "Come here."

"Qi Xi is waiting, don't make him wait anxiously."

Chu Xiu lowered his eyes and walked over with trepidation in his heart.

They are very familiar with the examination and treatment procedures.

Chu Xiu lay down, resting his head on his legs, allowing his mental power to penetrate into the core of the star.

While Qi Heng was sorting out the disordered mental power, he also used his mental power to crush the stagnant and congested parts of the star core bit by bit, controlling his mental power to move towards Chu Xiu's star core as if he were using his own arm.

Knowing that Chu Xiu must be feeling uncomfortable at this moment, he calmly brought up the topic that had not been continued just now.

"I took what you said just now as serious."

Chu Xiu's eyelashes trembled.

"I am now your attending physician and responsible for your health."

"If you have any physical discomfort, you should come to me. It's normal for a patient to see a doctor."

“There’s nothing to shy away from.”

"Or do you feel embarrassed to come to see me privately? Do you need me to find an office in the medical center to see you?" He said this with a hint of relief at the end.

Chu Xiu couldn't help but say, "No, that's not what I meant."

"I know a little bit about my own physical condition. It's normal to feel discomfort and pain occasionally. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Chu Xiu also knew that it couldn't be cured.

Asking His Majesty for help will only provide temporary relief and will not eradicate the problem.

It’s better to be patient.

"Why should I endure it if it can make me feel more comfortable?" Qi Heng's mental power penetrated inch by inch along the position of the insect pattern. He didn't think there was any ambiguity in what he said.

"I don't have to live here, it's just that this way you're closer to me."

"If there's any problem with your condition, I can rush to your side if you need me."

"If you don't need it, then my kindness would be wasted."
