Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Chapter 26 (Two in One)…
Hearing Xiao Shan say that he was a straight man, Chu Xiao sneered.
Rong Nian, standing by, was very unhappy: "What do you mean Lu Qiujin is different from us? It's as if I'm not straight."
"No, I'm definitely not straight, because I will never fall in love with a human."
Xiao Shan: "? You're about to sleep with Shi Zhen, and you still have the nerve to say you won't fall in love with a human?"
Rong Nian said confidently, "We sleep together because Luo Shizhen said he would hold a pet like me while sleeping."
Yes, he changed the writing style to change what Luo Shizhen said of "sleeping with the dog in arms" to "sleeping with him in arms".
When Rong Nian was learning about human knowledge, he paid special attention to pets, although he was once kept as a pet abroad and almost bit his "owner" to death before being auctioned off.
He once hated humans who kept pets.
But at this moment, Rong Nian's thoughts changed. He felt that there should be nothing wrong with being a pet. It mainly depends on whether the "owner" is good.
Rong Nian’s previous “master” liked ferocious wild beasts. The old man, who was in his seventies, built a large ocean viewing tank at home and kept Rong Nian in it. He would arrange for people to feed some large carnivorous fish every day and watch the little mermaid fight with these large fish.
He also required Rong Nian to jump out of the water when he called him. If Rong Nian did not obey, the water would be electrified.
Therefore, when he bit his "master's" carotid artery, Rong Nian only felt a strong sense of excitement and revenge.
But the "master" Luo Shizhen seems to be very different. He has no requirements for his pet and even consciously takes care of it.
Most importantly, he smells great, and being around him isn't uncomfortable at all.
Rong Nian felt that Xiao Shanzhen had dirty thoughts.
He is a mermaid, how could he fall in love with humans?
Although he liked to smell Luo Shizhen's scent, lick Luo Shizhen's hands, and wanted to lick Luo Shizhen's face and drag Luo Shizhen to his underwater nest, this kind of cross-species love would never happen to him.
With nothing to hide, Rong Nian spoke with confidence:
"We just cuddled together to sleep, not mating. What's wrong with pets sleeping with their owners? Don't cats and dogs sleep next to their owners?"
Xiao Shan paused.
It seems so. No one stipulates that you have to like each other before you can sleep together.
Hey, so that means he can also sleep with my little brother?
Some brothers seem to sleep together often.
Chu Xiao just watched the two people talking to themselves quietly, and was too lazy to sneer.
He closed his eyes and quietly recovered his strength.
You must recover as soon as possible. As long as you pass the training, the confinement room will be opened early.
This was not the first time that Chu Xiao had parted with Luo Shizhen, but this time, even though the two people who posed the greatest threat were in the confinement room, he still had a vague sense of unease in his heart.
In a few days, Shi Zhen shouldn't attract any more "straight men", right?
***
Luo Shi is really busy.
In fact, because there are combat training classes every day, there is only one hour of cultural classes, and all students are trained to death by Sui An and Lin Qi.
There is no way he can be bullied.
Because Sui An really trained everyone like he was training a husky. In the end, the students didn't have the energy to do anything else like finding fault. They just wanted to go back to the dormitory and rest.
Because of "Xiao Shan's commission", Lu Qiujin did start to have a slightly closer relationship with Luo Shizhen.
After all, there were two people living in the same dormitory. Rong Nian and Xiao Shan were both in the confinement room. Every night, they were the only two left in the huge dormitory.
But Lu Qiujin was unable to establish a good relationship with Luo Shizhen as he wished.
Because Luo Shi is really too busy.
He is a freshman and has many courses to make up. Although Xiao Shan is in solitary confinement, Luo Shizhen will also go into the training room and train according to the training methods taught to him by his elder brother.
God knows where he gets so much energy. He is trained like a dead dog during the day, and he even has to "make up lessons" and train at night.
Luo Shi really has a very regular day. He gets up at 6:30 every morning, washes, eats and drinks, and goes to class to preview today's lessons in advance, take cultural classes, and take combat training classes.
During the lunch break, he would take cultural courses with Chen Heyan. After school in the evening, he would take two hours to train and review on his own. By the time Luo Shizhen finished his work, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
He took a bath, made his bed, and soaked his feet. It was exactly half past ten.
Lu Qiujin wanted to talk to him, but Luo Shizhen closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Although they lived in the same dormitory, they had almost no chance to communicate. Sometimes when Luo Shizhen was memorizing information, he would find an excuse to interrupt and start a conversation.
This was the first time Luo Shi really spoke to him in a nice tone.
The second time, Luo Shizhen started to speak quickly and continued to recite.
The third time, Luo Shizhen took the information book and went directly into his study and never came out.
Lu Qiujin: “…”
He studied for two days before realizing that Luo Shizhen attached great importance to his studies. After he officially entered the school and discovered that he was falling behind, he felt a sense of crisis.
This Purifier simply wants to use all his time to study.
You should tell him, "Don't work so hard, take a rest before studying again."
Luo Shizhen said, "Our teacher said that the early bird catches the worm. I'm not smart, so I have to work harder. Don't talk to me anymore. When you talk to me, I forget what I just memorized."
Lu Qiujin: “…”
He originally wanted to take the approach of attentive care, but Luo Shizhen thought that he was hindering his studies. He wanted to change his approach, but he really couldn't find time for the two of them to communicate more.
I finally got the chance to have Luo Shizhen wake up early in the morning and have some free time. I didn't have to memorize any materials or train, I just had to wait for class.
Luo Shizhen took out his cell phone and actually started "writing letters" to Chu Xiao and Xiao Shan who were locked up in the solitary confinement room.
He has always found it incomprehensible that Chu Xiao and Xiao Shanchong went to the confinement room to beat Rong Nian.
But as a friend, and knowing that the awakened ones all had bad tempers, Luo Shizhen just thought that the two of them were sick, and just hoped that they could live better in the confinement room.
Lu Qiujin pretended to be passing by and took a peek. The message contained very simple information:
[Chu Xiao, are you okay? Have you fully recovered? Is it stuffy in the solitary confinement room? You need to reform yourself and get out soon. I've prepared study notes for you so you won't fall behind in your studies when you get out.]
"Brother, how are you? Can I train in the confinement room? I've been training for at least an hour every day according to the method you taught me. Now I feel that my strength and speed have increased significantly. I also asked Teacher Lin for the video recordings of the combat training classes over the past two days. I won't fall behind when you get out."
Lu Qiujin didn't know what to say for a moment.
He could only remind: "You are not allowed to use mobile phones in the detention room."
"I know, but Teacher Chen said he could take the letter over for me."
Luo Shizhen finished writing carefully on his mobile phone, then turned on the printer in the dormitory and started printing.
Lu Qiujin: "I thought you could write by hand."
After all, handwriting shows sincerity, doesn’t it?
Luo Shizhen gave him a strange look: "Why should I write by hand when I have a printer? Writing by hand is so tiring."
This look made it seem as if Lu Qiujin was the one who was inflexible.
Lu Qiujin has a good temper.
After all, he wanted to use Luo Shizhen to purify himself from pollution, so Lu Qiujin could certainly tolerate such a small problem.
What he couldn't stand was why Luo Shizhen had so much to do every day. Even though they lived in the same dormitory, Lu Qiujin had no way to get close to him.
Luo Shi really didn't know Lu Qiujin's boredom. He even thought he got along very well with Lu Qiujin.
The study and training room would be closed at night, so when he studied, he would only study until ten o'clock, and would not disturb Lu Qiujin at all.
Lu Qiujin was also a very good roommate. He didn't snore at night and had a very stable schedule. The only problem was that he talked too much. I always wanted to talk to him when he was studying.
But it doesn't matter. Luo Shizhen has also experienced talkative roommates. There are also some like Zhang Chuan who not only likes to talk, but also insists on sleeping next to each other at night.
He could just refuse directly. He could study and train during the day, and he could also go to his own study and his elder brother's training room. His elder brother had given him permission.
Lu Qiujin was locked outside the door and couldn't get in, so the problem was solved!
The two of them spent three days in peace. On the fourth day, Lu Qiujin finally got her chance.
During the combat training class that day, he and Luo Shizhen were assigned to the same team.
The awakened ones' courses are basically divided into groups of two, but although the purpose is to enable them to cooperate, these young awakened ones really never listen.
Being divided into groups of two has aroused their desire to compete. They not only want to compete with others, but also with their teammates.
Luo Shi really didn't know this. He only thought that the teammates he was assigned to in the first three days were very powerful, strong and serious. Every time they started, his teammates would disappear.
He is used to it now and thinks that this may be the default rule between teammates, no talking, no looking at each other, just working hard to complete the task.
So, when Luo Shizhen heard Lu Qiujin speak, he was a little surprised.
Lu Qiujin said:
"I'll help you apply for a break. After all, you're in the auxiliary department, and the instructors will agree even if you just want to take a break."
They had just finished five hours of intense training and now it was time for a weighted run.
Luo Shizhen's clothes were soaked, sticking tightly to his soft but not thin chest muscles. His muscles were trembling slightly uncontrollably due to the high-intensity training.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like they've been physically exhausted from training.
For an auxiliary department student who has just entered the school and has never received any professional training before, it is already very good to be able to keep up until now.
But Luo Shi is really stubborn and he won't agree to take a break.
As expected, Luo Shizhen gasped for breath. After being surprised, he still replied politely:
"No, I can continue. The instructor said we need to find our limits. I don't think I've reached them yet."
He thought that maybe because the two were roommates, Lu Qiujin "broke the unspoken rules of training."
Lu Qiujin frowned as if she was very worried: "But what if something happens to you?"
Luo Shizhen was drenched in sweat, his eyes were red, but he was still smiling innocently:
"Thank you, but I'm very strong. My fifth uncle has praised me before. I can pull a plow better than an ox!"
Lu Qiujin: “…”
Luo Shi really thought so.
Although I am very tired now, my whole body is shaking, aches spread all over my body, and my throat feels like it is on fire, I just want to take deep breaths.
But I didn’t reach the limit that the teacher said, nor did I feel completely unable to hold on. As long as I hold on, I can continue.
Luo Shizhen even felt that combat training classes were much better than cultural classes.
Because he studied the academic subjects hard and memorized them, but he always forgot what he memorized and could not remember what he learned.
But combat training classes only require you to move your body, listen to the instructor, and complete tasks one by one to achieve results.
Although he was slower than other students, he could get a passing score as long as he could reach the finish line.
When he thought of this, Luo Shizhen felt that he had endless energy.
Passing score!
What a wonderful word.
Since his second year of high school, he hasn't received a passing grade except for physical education.
Later, the physical education teacher was always sick, so other teachers had to teach the class. Luo Shizhen lost the only class in which he could get a passing grade.
But now! In the Awakener School, the scores of combat training courses are higher than those of cultural courses.
Luo Shizhen wiped the sweat off his face, and his eyes became bright again. He followed Teacher Lin's instructions and worked hard to overcome various obstacles.
He had not forgotten Lu Qiujin yet, and turned around to greet him:
"Lu Qiujin, can't you run anymore?"
After all, Lu Qiujin has been in school for some time. In terms of physical strength, she is certainly stronger than Luo Shizhen.
He was just breathing slightly now. On the surface, he nodded, but in his heart he was calmly analyzing where Luo Shizhen's limit was.
There is no need to go forward now. Luo Shizhen obviously still has some strength left. If he helps at this time, he probably won't get much gratitude.
Showing kindness to people when they are at their lowest point will be most effective.
This was inspired by the incident of Luo Shizhen hugging Chu Xiao.
When Luo Shizhen fainted from exhaustion during training, he picked him up, sent him to the infirmary, and took good care of him.
Although this approach was a bit too common for Lu Qiujin, there was nothing he could do. Apart from today, he simply couldn't find any opportunity to have a deeper interaction with Luo Shizhen.
Given Luo Shizhen's personality, he should be very grateful to him. Chu Xiao and Xiao Shanrong are not around, and he is the only one around Luo Shizhen now. But when those people come out, it may not be the same.
Just do it, successfully become his "good friend" and be purified.
A nasty and despicable plan, but that's just the way he is.
Lu Qiujin lowered her eyes and thought, and suddenly she felt her body lighten.
Lu Qiujin frowned warily, but saw that the 200-pound equipment she was wearing for weighted running was being untied by the sweaty Luo Shizhen.
He used so much force that his lips were pursed, and he finally held her in his arms with some difficulty.
Luo Shizhen's whole body was still trembling slightly, his face flushed, but his slightly round eyes were still clear and bright.
He gasped:
"If you haven't reached your limit yet, just keep going."
"I'll help you carry the weights, let's go."
He walked ahead first, thinking, although his elder brother said that Lu Qiujin would take care of him, Lu Qiujin moved so slowly and did not look very strong.
Sure enough, I can't run as fast as him.
Lu Qiujin's clothes are so expensive, she must be the kind of city student who has never worked in the fields or pulled a plow. It's better for him to take care of Lu Qiujin.
After all, they are teammates.
Without waiting for Lu Qiujin to speak, Luo Shizhen was already carrying two hundred kilograms on his back and holding two hundred kilograms in his arms, moving towards the finish line with slightly slow steps.
He also gave encouragement:
"Come on! Keep up!"
Lu Qiujin paused, then followed in silence.
A voice sounded in his heart: This is good. Carrying four hundred kilograms, even if Luo Shi is really as strong as an ox and is an awakened one, he will not be able to bear it.
He will be unable to hold on sooner than planned, and I can take the opportunity to take good care of him.
But at the same time, he also knew clearly how much Luo Shizhen wanted to get a passing score. One of the two days ago, Luo Shizhen got a passing score, and he was so excited that he almost flew away.
He also wrote two letters in a row asking Teacher Chen to help him get to the confinement room.
When Lu Qiujin thought of this, her eyes darkened.
He and Luo Shizhen stayed in the same dormitory every day, seeing each other every day, but they didn't get to talk to each other that often.
He had clearly pushed those two annoying guys into the confinement room, but the progress bar on his desire to become friends with Luo Shizhen remained stagnant.
Luo Shizhen didn't seem to think that they could be close friends, and they just kept a safe social distance as roommates.
And now, seeing that Luo Shizhen himself barely had enough energy to reach the finish line, yet he still helped take away his load while thinking he had no strength left...
Lu Qiujin suppressed her complicated thoughts and thought maliciously:
If Luo Shi really failed to reach the finish line because of the double weight and did not get a passing score, people might blame him.
This is what people are like. They may be willing to lend a helping hand out of temporary kindness, but if helping others harms their own interests, kindness will turn into hatred.
At that time, showing goodwill may have the opposite effect.
It seems that it would be better to take away my burden so as not to affect his plan.
Lu Qiujin thought so and looked at Luo Shizhen in front of her who was gradually unable to walk and moving slowly, but her body did not move.
He knew he needed to please Luo Shizhen, but looking at this new classmate who was always smiling, seemed to have no temper, and seemed full of sunshine, the malice in his heart climbed up like a vine.
Will Luo Shizhen still be so happy when he misses the passing score he wants because of helping others?
Could he still show a silly smile on that face that seemed to have no trace of gloom?
I want to see this seemingly pure and kind person reveal a look of resentment and unwillingness.
Luo Shi really didn't know that Lu Qiujin was thinking so much.
He didn't think about anything.
Luo Shizhen is a stubborn person and it is difficult for him to think in a flexible way. Therefore, when he was in No. 3 Middle School, he had a very difficult time studying. Many contents that other students could understand at once were as difficult as climbing to the sky for him.
But now, his single-minded thinking has its advantages. He will not waste time on internal affairs, nor will he speculate whether he can successfully run to the finish line. He only knows to persevere, persevere until the moment he reaches his limit, and persevere until he can no longer persevere.
Luo Shizhen gritted his teeth and ran almost 500 meters with a load of 400 kilograms.
There are only three hundred meters left to the finish line, which is very easy for Luo Shizhen who is in full physical strength.
But for him now, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
His willpower could no longer withstand the weakness of his body. His eyes went dark and he slowly sat down on the ground, holding the weight.
Luo Shizhen turned around and saw Lu Qiujin behind him.
Lu Qiujin must have rested, her face wasn't as pale as before.
His eyes were stung by sweat, and he could only squeeze them shut, looking a little silly. After panting for a few times and calming down a little, he gave Lu Qiujin a silly smile:
"I can't walk anymore. If you can still walk, please go ahead."
"This is your burden, here you go."
Luo Shizhen put the weight on the ground and clicked pause on his watch.
Without hesitation, without any resentment, just a little bit of loss, but it quickly disappeared.
Lu Qiujin thought of many possibilities, but she never expected this to happen.
His dark eyes stared intently at the man who had no offensive power at all:
"Don't you really want to get a passing score? Are you willing to give up at this time?"
"I can't run anymore."
Luo Shizhen's chest was still heaving violently, but his emotions were very stable.
"The instructor said that these trainings are meant to push us to our limits. I've already reached my limit. If I keep running, it will hurt my body."
Luo Shizhen really wanted to get a passing score, but it was impossible for him to exchange his body for a passing score.
He had been persisting just to reach the limit set by the teacher. Now that he has reached the limit and can't run anymore, why should he continue running?
Lu Qiujin couldn't understand Luo Shizhen.
If he is really so free and easy, why has he worked so hard in the past three days?
"You've persisted until the very end, and you're giving up right here. Aren't you feeling a bit unwilling?"
Luo Shizhen also felt that Lu Qiujin looked very smart on the surface, but was actually a bit stupid.
"It's just a combat training class. If I can't run today, maybe I can run in the future. It's not like you can only get a passing grade once."
As a poor student who has always been ranked last in the god rankings but can still concentrate on studying hard, Luo Shizhen's mentality is of course very stable and peaceful.
No matter how lost you are, you can't ignore your health just because of a little loss.
There were only 300 meters left to the finish line, which was the same as the previous test where he only needed three points to pass. For him, it was the same as doing everything he could, so even if the result was not good, he would not think that he did anything wrong.
Luo Shi really didn't feel any resentment:
"I've tried my best. If I don't succeed, I can only rest well and keep working hard next time. I will be more prepared next time and I will definitely improve."
His math teacher once told him that every little progress he made was a victory.
After talking about it for half a year, I found that Luo Shi was really "a little bit", really just a little bit, so I stopped talking about it.
But Luo Shizhen wrote it down himself, and when he settled down to study, he told himself that even a little bit was progress.
Lu Qiujin forced a smile, but this time it wasn't quite standard. It looked like a mocking smile:
"Next time? There won't be a next time. If you're not good enough, you'll be eliminated."
Luo Shizhen automatically understood elimination as dismissal.
His eyes widened slightly now, and because his eyes were wide open, sweat from his forehead fell into them. Luo Shizhen blinked quickly.
His eyes were red from the sweat, but he still took the time to wipe his eyes and said:
"No, Teacher Chen told me that if we practice well, we'll go to a strong team, and if we don't practice well, we'll go to a less strong team. How could I be expelled?"
He trusts Teacher Chen very much and believes that Teacher Chen will never lie to him!
Luo Shizhen also comforted Lu Qiujin: "Where did you hear this? This must be a rumor. Don't believe it. The school treats us very well."
As the two were talking, Sui An received the student's pause signal and walked over slowly.
He was in charge of the scene today and was also wearing combat uniform. As he walked, his muscles, as explosive as a cheetah's, were faintly visible.
When he glanced down at the two students, there was a natural sense of lazy oppression:
"Did you press pause?"
Luo Shizhen honestly raised his hand: "It was me, I was the only one who pressed it, Lu Qiujin didn't press it."
He asked Sui An: "Teacher, if I give up training, will I be expelled?"
"No, your three friends fought like crazy, but they were only put in solitary confinement."
Sui An certainly heard what the two people were saying, he was just asking knowingly.
After answering, he glanced at Lu Qiujin, whose expression was unclear:
"You're spreading rumors. For the next training session, even if Luo Shi really carries the weight, you'll be the one carrying it."
Sui An looked down at the data on his watch, then raised his finger, and some transparent silk threads invisible to the naked eye quickly wrapped around Luo Shizhen.
"Student Luo Shizhen, your physical data shows that you have reached your limit. Although you haven't reached the end, you have completed the training purpose. Come on, come back with me to rest."
Luo Shizhen felt weak all over and wanted to sleep, but he was still a little surprised when he found that his body was lifted up by invisible silk threads.
He looked at Sui An with admiration: "Teacher, can you pass me a bottle of water?"
Being looked at with admiration by Luo Shizhen, Sui An raised his eyebrows and threw a bottle of water over.
She caught it with layers of overlapping transparent silk threads and brought it to Luo Shizhen's mouth.
He asked, "Do you remember how to drink water after exercise?"
Luo Shizhen instantly switched to a teacher-student question-and-answer session:
"I remember! Drink slowly and in small sips. Don't drink too much, and don't drink too fast!"
Sui An's eyes slightly raised, looking at such a well-behaved student, he was in a good mood:
"Drink it."
After getting permission, Luo Shizhen quickly hugged the water bottle.
His trained hands were weak, but luckily the silk thread helped him unscrew the bottle cap. He just lay on his back naturally and drank the water slowly and carefully.
Luo Shizhen was a little tired before, but now that he saw the teacher coming, he relaxed all over and was not worried at all that he would fall in mid-air.
Teacher Sui is so good, he will definitely not let him fall.
Because he was too relaxed, unlike others who were alert and motionless, and would unconsciously change their lying positions, Sui An had to use more silk threads and entwine them around Luo Shizhen.
It's like creating a cocoon.
Sui An was somewhat tolerant of obedient students and did not say anything to Luo Shizhen. He just glanced at Lu Qiujin:
"You haven't reached your limit yet, keep training."
He turned around, and Luo Shizhen, who was wrapped in layers of silk threads like a transparent cocoon, also followed the floating movement behind him.
Luo Shizhen drank some water and regained some strength. He found himself "following" Teacher Sui and tried to turn his head:
"Lu Qiujin, I'm leaving first. Come on."
"But don't force yourself to run past your limit. My grandma says that nothing is better than having a healthy body. If you damage yourself by running, you'll regret it later."
For example, his grandmother suffered a lot when she was young. At that time, she thought she was young enough and it was no big deal to suffer a little. As a result, she became full of illnesses when she got old, which was very painful.
He also extended an invitation:
"The get out of class will be over soon, let's go back to the dormitory together."
On the way back, they can review together which actions have wasted too much energy, resulting in them having no energy to continue in the later stages.
The review training was taught by the eldest brother, but unfortunately, Luo Shizhen attended three days of combat training. Every time, his teammates disappeared at the beginning, and there was no chance to review.
Now it's okay. Lu Qiujin is a pretty good person and very motivated. She would definitely be willing to review things with him.
Luo Shizhen thought about it and became happy again.
I am so lucky today that I can share the review with my roommates.
Lu Qiujin stood there, watching Luo Shizhen float behind Sui An and be taken away from the training area by a man in combat uniform.
Luo Shizhen was holding a mineral water bottle happily, with a blush on his face from exercise, and his dark eyes were still pure and clear.
I was just laughing foolishly, not knowing what I was laughing at.
He was neither unwilling to give up when he was near the end, nor regretful for helping others carry the burden. He was just, simply, laughing foolishly.
Lu Qiujin silently lowered her head, put the 400-jin weight on her body, and ran towards the finish line.
The brain excitement caused by high-intensity exercise, after he no longer had to exercise and was taken over and transported by the teacher, fatigue gradually overwhelmed Luo Shizhen.
He was half-closed in his eyes, and rubbed his face against the transparent silk thread under him in a daze.
"Teacher, can I sleep?"
Sui An's originally slow pace forward paused for half a second before quickly recovering.
"Can't."
"After ten minutes of sober rest, immediately enter the second round of cooling-down training."
With the physical fitness of an awakened person, resting for ten minutes is enough to recover one or two points of strength.
After the relaxation training, today's combat training class is truly over.
After Sui An finished speaking, he realized that Luo Shizhen didn't hear what he said at all.
The child was so tired that he completely trusted the man and fell asleep in his cocoon.
The Sui Inspector looked at Luo Shizhen.
He looked peaceful, his eyelashes trembling with his breathing, his face a little flushed, and he exposed himself to the older awakened person without any defense.
Sui An paused for a second, then continued to move forward with his combat boots.
He lowered his head and set a ten-minute alarm on his watch.
