Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Chapter 21 (Two in One)…
Luo Shizhen's hands are very white, but not thin. His nails are neatly trimmed, and one can vaguely see a thin layer of calluses on his knuckles from years of hard study and constant writing with a pen.
It looks very ordinary.
But Rong Nian instantly became excited, and more shiny scales appeared behind his ears.
Even the two translucent ear fins fluttered slightly and opened uncontrollably.
“It smells so good…”
Rong Nian instinctively wanted to lower his head and lick it, but seemed to be afraid that Luo Shizhen would stop him again, so he panted lightly and raised the corners of his eyes to steal a glance at his expression.
It was as if he was checking whether his animalistic appearance was disliked, or as if he was waiting for permission.
Luo Shizhen didn't understand at all that he was waiting for his permission. He looked at Rong Nian strangely:
"What are you looking at me for? Isn't that what you want to lick?"
After a pause of one second, Luo Shizhen suddenly realized: "How about I wash my hands?"
"Need not."
Seeing that Luo Shi was about to withdraw his hand, Rong Nian held his hand with both hands. The human warmth transmitted to him made him tremble uncontrollably.
He lowered his beautiful eyes and licked gently, carefully, as if afraid of hurting Luo Shizhen.
Rong Nian even looks like a well-behaved student.
Luo Shizhen was a little bit looking forward to it. He had never seen things like marking prey in TV dramas.
Maybe there will be some special scenes, such as some special effects or something.
But nothing happened. Luo Shizhen didn't even feel the back of his hand was hot or anything. He could only feel Rong Nian licking him gently like a kitten.
Chen Heyan couldn't bear it any longer:
"Okay, it doesn't take that long to mark it."
He controlled the copied student and forcibly took Rong Nian away.
Rong Nian licked his lips contentedly, feeling very happy because he had gotten what he wanted. He had no intention of struggling and just let his other self do what he wanted.
"I'll repay you."
There was a hint of satisfaction on his face, and his fangs, which were too sharp because of his mermaid-like appearance, were pressed against his lips. He smiled sweetly at Luo Shizhen.
"I didn't lick you too hard, did I?"
Luo Shizhen shook his head: "No, it's almost the same as Da Huang licking me."
Rong Nian's obedient and contented expression suddenly froze, and he asked cautiously, "Who is Da Huang?"
The little elf suddenly popped out from Chen Heyan's collar, his eyes wide open, and he muttered softly, as if asking "When did I lick you?"
It turned out that it had run out of the classroom to look for Chen Heyan.
Luo Shizhen quickly explained: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about another dog named Dahuang. It's the dog raised by the principal of my elementary school. It's very well-behaved and often licks my hand."
The little elf then slowly retracted his collar, leaving only a little green edge exposed, as if observing the situation outside.
As for Rong Nian, his expression of hidden pride and satisfaction froze in an instant.
"You said I'm like a dog?"
Luo Shizhen scratched his head and explained:
"I'm not saying you're like a dog. I'm saying you lick me like a dog licks me."
Rong Nian's expression became even uglier: "I'm a mermaid, how can a dog compare to me?"
He even looks down on humans, let alone dogs.
Luo Shizhen said, "Then I won't compete."
Rong Nian: "..."
He felt as if he had been insulted and angry, but ended up hitting his head against cotton.
Chen Heyan smiled gently and asked, "Does Shi Zhen like puppies very much?"
I gave Dahuang a dog's name before, and now I recall the other Dahuang with a nostalgic look. I must like dogs very much, right?
"I like it."
Luo Shizhen chuckled: "I like puppies the most, but my grandma is allergic to dog hair, so I have never kept a dog."
Chen Heyan always tried his best to meet students' requirements. Upon hearing this, he immediately said:
"You're in school now. If you like puppies, why not get one? How about I take you to pick one?"
Luo Shizhen shook his head almost immediately: "Thank you, teacher, but I can't keep a pet right now."
Chen Heyan was a little surprised. After all, Luo Shizhen's love for puppies was definitely visible to the naked eye.
"Why?"
Luo Shizhen explained seriously: "Because I am still a student. I have to go to class every day and live in the school dormitory. How can I take good care of the puppy?"
It was obvious that he had thought about this problem, and he explained the reasons very fluently.
"I'm going to be fighting weirdos in the future, too. The freshman notices from the school also say that fighting weirdos is very dangerous. You might die in combat. If I die, there's no one to take care of my dog. So I can't keep one now. I have to wait until I retire, have a house and savings, and have time to take care of a puppy. Then I can keep one."
Luo Shizhen has wanted to have a dog of his own since he was a child, but precisely because he loves dogs, he knows very well that dogs need companionship.
So, now is not the time to get a dog.
Chen Heyan patted Luo Shizhen's head and said, "Good boy, you've thought it through very carefully."
"It's okay. Although we don't have pets, you can still play with Dahuang."
He withdrew his hand and gently tapped the green corner of the little elf. The little elf reluctantly stuck its head out, glanced at Luo Shizhen with its big eyes, blinked, and quickly went back in.
Luo Shizhen didn't get that the other person was afraid of him at all, and even laughed cheerfully: "It gets shy so easily."
Chen Heyan said: "It is a bit shy, but it is just not familiar with you yet. After you spend more time with it, it will no longer be afraid."
Luo Shizhen nodded obediently: "It's okay, it's your Da Huang, Teacher Chen, it's normal for it to only kiss you."
"When I get a dog in the future, I can play with it every day, comb its hair, take it a bath, and we can even sleep together at night. My dog will definitely love me very much."
Rong Nian was stunned for a moment, and then became fascinated.
So, being Luo Shizhen's dog means being with him every day, taking a bath together, and sleeping together.
The mark can only last for three months, but if I could become Luo Shi’s real dog, I could smell it as long as I wanted.
The more Rong Nian thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He broke free from the clone's hand and rushed to Luo Shizhen:
"Don't raise a dog, raise me."
Luo Shi was really confused: "W-what?"
Chen Heyan pinched his brows and said, "Rong Nian, you must remember that you are a human being, not an animal."
Rong Nian didn't listen at all, and continued to say to Luo Shizhen:
"Luo Shizhen, please support me. I'm easy to support, and I can even give you my salary."
"You smell so nice, how about we sleep together tonight?"
Chen Heyan looked helpless and snapped his fingers, signaling the clone to take Rong Nian away.
"Don't scare your classmates."
"During these three days of confinement, you should calm down in the confinement room."
Rong Nian was captured by the clone.
Luo Shizhen looked completely bewildered, not understanding how things turned out that Rong Nian asked him to support him.
Unable to figure it out, he asked Chen Heyan, "Is Rong Nian kidding me?"
He always can't tell which words are true and which are jokes.
Chen Heyan comforted Luo Shizhen: "Don't worry about him, he is a little confused about his own identity."
Luo Shizhen was confused.
"Rong Nian is a 14th sequence - Atavism - Merman. Awakeners of this sequence will be very powerful when they grow up, but they also have shortcomings, which is that they are easily controlled by their animal nature and lose their rationality."
"Almost all atavistic awakeners, when they first awaken, cannot control their half-beast transformation and are unable to transform back into a complete human form."
"Although Xia Nation had not previously announced the existence of awakened individuals, monitoring points were set up in all 666 cities. Basically, all atavistic awakened individuals would be immediately taken back to the awakening center after awakening to spend time there until they could control themselves and transform into fully human forms."
Chen Heyan's tone was calm, yet it contained a hint of the compassion a teacher has for his students:
"But Rong Nian is a special child..."
When he awakened, he was only three years old. When he was taken to a beach somewhere abroad for a trip, he was swept into the sea by the waves.
Rong Nian was lucky. He should have drowned, but at the last moment of drowning, he woke up and became a mermaid.
Mermaids are good at swimming, so of course it is impossible for him to drown again.
Rong Nian was also unfortunate. He was too young and didn't understand anything. He didn't know where he was and didn't know he needed to go ashore for help.
In this state, he spent half a year alone in the sea.
During the past six months, Rong Nian was like a real mermaid. When he was hungry, he ate fish. When he was tired, he hid in a sunken ship to sleep. He also had to be on guard against attacks from predators in the sea at all times.
Then, it was caught by foreign fishing boats, first sold to a circus, then sold to a rare goods merchant, and then sold by the merchant to a wealthy man in that country.
Until Rong Nian was auctioned again at the age of fourteen, a Xia businessman happened to know some inside information about the awakeners. Seeing Rong Nian's Xia appearance, he bought him back and contacted the Awakener Center.
At that time, Rong Nian had already lived as a beast for eleven years, which was more than three times the time he had lived as a human.
Luo Shizhen: "Being kept like a fish?"
"Yes, even though Rong Nian has been back for three years now and looks like a normal person, deep down, he still feels like a beast and not the same kind as us."
Chen Heyan said in a gentle voice, "But the teachers all know that he has been trying hard to control his merman nature. Otherwise, he wouldn't be only at the first level now. Rong Nian has been suppressing himself all this time."
"Shi Zhen, you are Rong Nian's first friend at school. He likes you very much."
Luo Shizhen was flattered: "Does he really like me? He treats me as a friend?"
Because Rong Nian didn't say he wanted to be friends with him, he always understood that they were just roommates.
Chen Heyan: "If he's willing to get close to you, that means he likes you. When have you ever seen him get close to other students?"
Luo Shi really thought about it, and it seemed that there really wasn't any such person. Even with Xiao Shan and Lu Qiujin, who were in the same dormitory, Rong Nian stayed far away from them and hardly spoke to them.
“It seems so.”
Luo Shi was really happy. So, he made new friends again?
So as a friend, he felt that he could consider doing something to make his friend happy.
"Let me raise Rong Nian!"
After careful consideration, Luo Shizhen made this serious decision:
"He can feed himself and earn a salary. He's easier to raise than a puppy. Even if something happens to me and I can't keep him anymore, he can still take care of himself."
Luo Shizhen had never raised fish, but Zhang Chuan's mother did. Zhang Chuan told him that raising fish requires cleaning the fish tank almost every day, which is very troublesome.
But with all his strength, what's the big deal about cleaning a fish tank?!
Luo Shizhen patted his chest and said very loyally:
"If Rong Nian thinks of himself as a fish, I can raise him like one. I can clean the fish tank every day!"
Chen Heyan simply couldn't imagine how excited Rong Nian would be if he heard these words.
He quickly stopped talking: "Shi Zhen, the teacher is telling you this, not to ask you to obey Rong Nian in everything, but to say that in the future, if you have time, you can talk to him and chat. That's enough."
"You don't have to do anything else. Even if Rong Nian wants to, don't agree."
Luo Shizhen didn't quite understand: "What is the other thing?"
Chen Heyan: "Well, for example, he just said he wanted to sleep with you. In this case, you should refuse."
Although Rong Nian didn't seem to have any feelings towards Luo Shizhen, he was probably simply attracted by the emotions without the dark side of Luo Shizhen.
But Chen Heyan always felt...it was hard to say.
Luo Shizhen nodded: "Don't worry, teacher, I was going to refuse. He is too cold and I haven't recovered from my cold yet. If I sleep with Rong Nian, it will definitely get worse."
Chen Heyan opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was not the reason.
But seeing Luo Shizhen's bright black eyes looking at him with clarity, he silently swallowed the rest of his words.
"Hey, where are Xiao Shan and Chu Xiao? And Qin Yinian, didn't you guys leave together?"
Chen Heyan looked at the empty seats and felt something was wrong.
He had just guessed that these people were not there. If they were there, they would have interrupted Rong Nian's nonsense long ago.
As expected, Luo Shizhen said happily:
"Big Brother and Chu Xiao said they wanted to go out and chat, and Qin Yinian said he wanted to watch them chat, so the three of them went out together and will be back soon."
Chen Heyan: "..."
As everyone knows, these elements in their school make everyone dislike each other.
What he just saw was several people who were on the verge of a fight, and they wanted to stab each other to death with a knife.
chat?
Are you going to have a fight?!
Luo Shizhen was still very happy, and he wasn't even upset because his friends "went out to play alone" without inviting him.
"Qin Yinian told me before that Chu Xiao and Big Brother didn't have a good relationship, but after a fight, maybe they can become friends after a fight. Maybe in the future, they can become friends."
Chen Heyan: ...No fight, no friendship? You want to fight again after you've fought?
He looked down at his watch, and sure enough, the teacher in charge of the training ground had sent a message saying that Chu Xiao and Xiao Shan were fighting.
Just after reading it, new news popped up:
What happened? They both looked like they wanted to beat each other to death. Although they were always brutal in their sparring, they were never this brutal.
[Oh my! Qin Yinian also jumped up, and now it's a three-person brawl.]
Strictly speaking, Xiao Shan and Chu Xiao were beating each other to death. Qin Yinian was hitting everyone. Oh no! He had successfully angered both of them, and now they were focusing their fire on Qin Yinian.
Chen Heyan: "..."
Alas, Awakener Teacher, what a short-lived profession.
He sighed deeply and glanced at Luo Shizhen, who was still immersed in the thought, "My two friends are chatting privately, they must be cultivating their relationship."
Chen Heyan replied to his colleague:
[Tell them to stop fighting, it's time to go to class.]
[Also, watch less Korean dramas.]
After a while, Luo Shizhen was surprised to see his friends returning injured.
Chu Xiao's face was covered with wounds, Xiao Shan's arm was broken, and there was blood at the corner of Qin Yinian's mouth.
"What happened? Were you beaten? Who beat you?!"
Luo Shi was really angry. He took out a grenade and wanted to seek justice for his friend:
"Where are the people who beat you?!"
Maybe he was too angry, so angry that he felt hungry.
The three people who were fighting fell silent.
After all, Chu Xiao grew up with Luo Shizhen and had more experience in how to comfort him:
"We got so excited chatting that we went to the training ground to spar for a while."
Luo Shizhen: “Ah?”
He accepted this reason, but looking at the injuries of several people, Luo Shizhen was not so sure anymore.
"Does sparring have to be so brutal? Big brother, your arm is about to break, Chu Xiao, you're about to be disfigured. Qin Yinian, do you, do you want to go to the infirmary?"
In one word, Chu Xiao and Xiao Shan's faces became even uglier.
Chu Xiao kept his head tilted while speaking, leaving only the uninjured half of his face facing Luo Shizhen, trying to cover up the ugly half that was burned.
Xiao Shan's arm was broken, and he couldn't put his arm around Luo Shizhen's shoulders like he did before.
It can be said that when they attacked each other, they hit the mark.
The only one who was still smiling was Qin Yinian. He wiped the corner of his mouth:
"It's okay. We are awakened ones. This minor injury is not a big deal. It will be healed in a few days. No medicine is needed."
After Qin Yinian finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken too early.
Luo Shi looked at Chu Xiao and his elder brother with real worry.
He touched Chu Xiao's face carefully and distressedly, then looked at his brother's arm uncomfortably:
"Let's apply some medicine. This arm needs to be reattached."
Xiao Shan didn't care: "It's just a minor injury, I can handle it myself."
Luo Shizhen was worried: "Can you take it by yourself? It's not convenient for you to do it yourself, right?"
Xiao Shan was just about to ask if there was anything inconvenient when the phone was picked up with a click.
They watched helplessly as Chu Xiao, who had once fought against the monster and had a piece of flesh cut off, with his bones exposed, but had not cried out in pain, suddenly hissed and frowned slightly.
"pain."
Sure enough, this attracted Luo Shizhen's even more distressed gaze and concern.
Chu Xiao frowned slightly, his voice a little softer than before:
"Shi Zhen, please help me apply the medicine."
Luo Shizhen nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll apply the medicine for you."
Xiao Shan: “…”
grass!
Why didn't he beat Chu Xiao to death just now? !
Xiao Shan gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "I need someone to help me connect my bones. Luo Shizhen, help me."
Luo Shizhen was surprised: "Me?"
"I can't set bones."
Xiao Shan didn't care: "It's okay, bone setting is very simple, I'll just guide you."
Luo Shizhen hesitated and did not dare to agree.
It would be so unfair if I connected the wrong bone to my brother.
Xiao Shan urged: "Come on, hurry up, it will only take a moment."
Chu Xiao also said: "I have medicine in my drawer, I need to use it right now."
Luo Shizhen was caught in the middle, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his anxious forehead.
"If you don't connect my arm quickly, it will not grow back properly. Please help me connect it first."
"Shi Zhen, don't worry about him, help me apply the medicine."
Xiao Shan and Chu Xiao refused to give in to each other, looked at each other, and sparks flew.
Suddenly a voice interrupted.
"Did you call the medical staff?"
The two of them paused at the same time, and then they saw the school doctor coming to the door with a medicine box on his back.
Luo Shizhen, who was standing between them, stepped forward and said:
"It's me! My friends were injured during their sparring. One has a burned face, one has a broken arm, and another is vomiting blood. Doctor, please help take a look!"
He simply followed the instructions in the student guide and clicked on the + on his watch, which represented medical care. He didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.
Qin Yinian was a little flattered. When Luo Shizhen mentioned friends, did he include him in?
Is it just a casual remark, or is it just what you think in your mind, so it comes out casually?
The doctor was a gentle man in his forties, with a good temper and a good smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look right away. Don't worry, I have Yong Zhou's new special medicine here. I guarantee it will be cured quickly."
Chu Xiao: “…”
Xiao Shan: “…”
As he took out the medicine from the medicine box, he said cheerfully:
"The other students in this school all take advantage of their youth and don't take care of their bodies. Few are as obedient as you and know to see the school doctor if they get hurt."
Chu Xiao: “…”
Xiao Shan: “…”
The school doctor continued to mutter as he worked, injecting the three people with healing potions:
"You have to come to me next time, okay? Don't think it's just a minor injury. Even a minor injury hurts. Why should you endure the pain for three or four days when it can be cured immediately?"
When the school doctor spoke, Luo Shizhen kept nodding in agreement, with "right, right, right" and "That makes so much sense" almost written on his face.
He had been paying close attention to the wounds of the three people, and even held his breath when the medicine was injected.
A miracle happened. The burned area on Chu Xiao's face healed rapidly. As the school doctor gently wiped it with medicine, his face quickly returned to its former cold and handsome appearance.
Xiao Shan's arm was reattached and he was able to move freely in just a few seconds.
Qin Yinian suffered internal injuries, and nothing can be seen from the outside, but he should have recovered.
"Wow……"
Luo Shizhen was amazed: "It's amazing! It can be healed so quickly!!"
The school doctor loves this kid so much. This potion was jointly developed by the awakened healing experts and the Eternal Day Academy. It is full of science and unscientific elements, and its efficacy is amazing.
If this kind of medicine were available outside, it would have been praised to the skies a long time ago, but the students in the school are all very stubborn and conceited. They refuse to contact outsiders and never seek treatment from the school doctor when they are injured.
The school doctor is an ordinary person, and he cannot understand the strange persistence of the awakened ones.
Please, he is wearing medical gloves!
This can only be considered contact with gloves, how can it be considered contact with outsiders? !
The right reaction would be something like Luo Shizhen's.
He cured the three people and was very proud of himself, but he still checked them again with professionalism.
None of the three awakened ones wanted to be checked by him, but Luo Shizhen was waiting on the side with shining eyes, so they could only endure it with a wooden face.
The school doctor checked my body and took some tests with instruments.
When the instrument reached Xiao Shan, it made an ominous beeping sound.
The school doctor frowned and looked at Xiao Shan: "You are slightly contaminated."
The Qi in the bodies of awakened people can cause pollution. When the awakened people's minds are out of control or they are too excited, the overflowing Qi will cause mild pollution.
Mild pollution is not a big deal, but if it accumulates and reaches moderate levels, it will be a big problem.
The school doctor was about to say, "You need to go to Yongzhou as soon as possible to find an energy user to help clear it up," but Luo Shizhen's ears pricked up.
He touched his stomach. No wonder he felt a little hungry at the beginning. It was just a vague feeling, not too obvious. He was too worried about his friend, so he ignored it.
Xiao Shan straightened his back slightly, his sharp brows moved slightly with some pride, and he glanced sideways at Chu Xiaoqin Yinian.
"It's okay, it's just a little pollution."
Chu Xiao sneered, not knowing where his confidence came from.
He is such a mad dog, anything can make him happy.
"Where is it?"
Luo Shizhen had already moved closer and was groping inch by inch. In just two seconds, he found a little black mist on Xiao Shan's injured arm.
He opened his hands, and a wisp of white mist slowly overflowed, catching the small black mist, and dragging it back to Luo Shizhen's palm as if it had found some delicious prey.
Luo Shizhen smacked his lips.
This time it tasted like a small cookie.
He didn't notice that the already quiet classroom was now even quieter than before.
Almost all the students in the classroom set their eyes on Luo Shizhen, who had just completed a purification. As everyone knows, for a newly awakened purification ability user to use purification on another awakened person, it requires deep trust and emotion. The three successful ones before all used the ability on their lovers.
Luo Shizhen raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him. He was a little confused, and before he could react, Chu Xiao had grabbed his wrist.
He subconsciously looked over and met the faint bloodshot in Chu Xiao's eyes.
Luo Shizhen quickly asked with concern: "Chu Xiao, are your eyes also hurt? They are so red."
Chu Xiao looked completely different from usual. His whole body was tense, like a bowstring that was stretched to its limit and could break at any moment.
He didn't hear what Luo Shizhen said at all. There was disbelief and disbelief in his eyes. His tone was no longer as cold and indifferent as before. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of a torn throat:
"You used Purification on him..."
