Strange Invasion 11 Xiaoxi's Secret
"Not pursuing it? Why not?"
Yang Lei jumped up first: "Please! He almost beat you to death! Have you forgotten that you were covered in blood? Those were all injuries caused by fighting with bare hands. Have you forgotten so quickly?"
Gu Xi protected the plate to prevent Yang Lei from getting too excited and giving him more food.
However, he did not have a deep impression of the injury at that time.
It doesn’t seem that serious?
Moreover, although his injuries looked terrible, they healed very quickly. After only a few days, the bruises on his body had faded to only a few traces.
Compared to those injuries, he was more afraid that Liang Gaoyuan would say something he shouldn't.
"He didn't do it on purpose. Didn't they say it was the strange one who did it? The strange one has been resolved. Liang Gaoyuan is still lying in the hospital. His condition is much worse than mine."
Gu Xi pulled Yang Lei's sleeve and asked her to sit down and eat properly.
"Liang Gaoyuan is only fifteen years old. All his family members died due to strange circumstances, and he himself is also haunted by something strange. He must be very scared. Let's go see him when we have time."
"You! You are just too kind." Yang Lei said angrily.
Gu Xi smiled faintly and didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Xie Yunsui and asked expectantly, "Boss Xie, can we go to the hospital to visit Liang Gaoyuan?"
Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
Yang Lei poked at the rice: "I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."
Gu Xi took advantage of the weekend to visit Liang Gaoyuan with the dean.
"I didn't expect you to come and see him." The dean was shocked when he received Gu Xi's request to visit him. "I thought your relationship was not good."
Gu Xi smiled shyly, with a shallow dimple on her cheek.
The dean was filled with pity when he saw his well-behaved appearance. "You've always been sensible and obedient. I've seen it all. When the new dormitory building is built, I'll arrange for you to be among the first to move in. The new dormitory will be much better, and it will be more convenient for you to study in peace."
Gu Xi shook his head: "No need, Dean, I'm fine in the dormitory now, let my brothers and sisters move in first."
The dean was about to say something else when the elevator opened and he saw Xie Yunsui.
Xie Yunsui was discussing something with the doctor. He noticed this out of the corner of his eye and saw that the two men were carrying a bag of apples in their hands. It was obvious that they were here to see Liang Gaoyuan.
"Please send the summary of these information to my email address later. Thank you."
After Xie Yunsui finished communicating with the doctor, he walked over and said, "I just asked, Liang Gaoyuan doesn't seem to be awake yet."
The dean was surprised: "Boss Xie is here to see him too?"
"Well, sort of, but not entirely. This entire department at the Third Hospital is dedicated to treating patients who have had contact with the strange. The dozen or so people who were injured at the South City Water Park last time were also placed here. I need some of their medical records for research, and I'll come over from time to time to check on their recovery."
Normally, hospitals would not share patients' information with others, but since it was a special department and Xie Yunsui was a spiritualist, he might be related to the Abnormal Management Bureau, and the things they were researching must also be related to the weird.
"Oh." The dean didn't ask any more questions.
Gu Xi didn't expect to meet Boss Xie here. At first, he thought that he followed him here because he heard that he was going to see Liang Gaoyuan.
After listening to it, I realized that I was overthinking.
He smiled and greeted him, then followed the dean to Liang Gaoyuan's ward.
Liang Gaoyuan has not woken up yet and is still using nutrient solution to maintain his vital signs. The dean is communicating with his attending physician about his condition.
What the doctor said was easy to understand. People who have been possessed by strange things usually have nerve damage. Liang Gaoyuan's condition is relatively good. Some of the medical methods in their hospital strongly stimulate the nerves every day, which can now allow Liang Gaoyuan to stay awake for one or two hours every day.
"It just so happens that he's going to need treatment soon. You can wait a while. When he wakes up and sees someone familiar, it should stimulate his brain and help him recover."
The dean smiled and said, "That's great. Let's stay and take a look."
Gu Xi was distracted for a moment and took two steps back. He didn't notice the nurse pushing a large instrument in and bumped into her directly.
Xie Yunsui, who was standing behind him, reached out and supported his lower back: "Xiaoxi? Are you okay?"
The gentle voice passed through the eardrum, bringing a special sense of familiarity.
Gu Xi suddenly looked up at him, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yunsui was confused.
Why did your expression suddenly change?
Gu Xi quickly stood up, covered his ears, and replied: "It's okay, I'll go to the bathroom."
It was not until he stood in front of the bathroom mirror that Gu Xi realized the tips of his ears were red.
When Boss Xie supported him, they were so close, it was as if the person in his dream was always hugging him from behind. Even the voice was so similar.
It was as if the person in his dream had just walked out of the dream.
Gu Xi splashed cold water on his face to sober himself up.
The two people should not be associated together. It is unfair to both that person and Boss Xie.
He took a long time to calm down, and returned to the ward. Only the dean was there, talking to Liang Gaoyuan who had regained consciousness.
Liang Gaoyuan was obviously very excited when he saw him: "You, you!"
Gu Xi stepped forward quickly: "Don't worry, I don't blame you. I know this is all caused by something strange."
Liang Gaoyuan remained silent, snorted, and tilted his head to the side.
The dean knew that the relationship between the two was not very good, but it was mainly because Liang Gaoyuan had been provoking Gu Xi. Before coming this time, Gu Xi also told him that he wanted to ease the relationship with Liang Gaoyuan.
I just had a conversation with Liang Gaoyuan, specifically telling him the whole story of the incident and how Gu Xi was seriously injured after being beaten by him.
Although Gu Xi has forgiven Liang Gaoyuan, the dean still hopes that Liang Gaoyuan will apologize to him.
Adolescent boys have very high self-esteem.
He was afraid that Liang Gaoyuan would not be able to bring himself to apologize in his presence, so he kindly withdrew, leaving only the two children behind.
"Would you like an apple?" Gu Xi asked him while sitting on the accompanying chair and holding an apple.
Liang Gaoyuan: "Don't be so hypocritical. Are you here to threaten me? Don't tell anyone your secrets."
Gu Xi looked at him innocently: "No, I really want to come visit you."
Liang Gaoyuan didn't believe it: "I was about to beat you to death, and you didn't hate me? And you were so kind as to come to see me?"
Gu Xi didn't respond to him, but changed the subject.
"You're lucky."
Liang Gaoyuan glared at him.
He was possessed by a strange spirit and nearly died. Is that lucky?
"That day, strange red shadows appeared in three places. Ten people died in total. We were lucky to be alive."
Gu Xi followed the method taught by the person in his dream and peeled a few little rabbits out of the apple. He admired them for a while and then ate them himself.
"Boss Xie, who saved you, has also funded a lot of things for the hospital. When you get better and come back, you'll see a brand new shelter, new dormitories, and new teaching buildings. Oh, and the cafeteria has been renovated too. Now everyone gets two big chicken drumsticks with every meal."
Liang Gaoyuan frowned and interrupted him: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Xi said, "I want to say that the environment in the orphanage is pretty good right now. You can wait until you graduate at 18. I won't compete with you for the opportunity to work for Boss Xie after graduation. I like the orphanage very much now. After graduation, I will stay and be an assistant teacher."
"You're really sick. Do you really think the shelter is your home?"
Gu Xi shrugged: "I've never had a home, so I think of the orphanage as my home. Is that weird?"
Liang Gaoyuan couldn't understand: "Is this why you falsified your age? You're already an adult. If you want a family, just find a woman to marry. Marry and have children, and you'll have a family, right?"
Gu Xi closed his eyes in silence.
Many things are not as simple as they seem.
However, once the director finds out that he is an adult and has been occupying the resources of the orphanage for such a long time, he will definitely be kicked out and will not even have the chance to stay as an assistant teacher.
He couldn't be kicked out.
Gu Xi raised his eyes again, the corners of his lips raised, and he spoke in a gentle voice: "I heard that the strange red shadow can amplify people's emotions. It's not groundless. If I really investigate the reason why you attacked me, you will be persuaded to leave the rescue center after you recover. Instead of making both of us lose, why not take a step back?"
Liang Gaoyuan felt extremely aggrieved.
Gu Xi finished eating his apple rabbit and still had time to peel an apple for him.
"Hey, eat an apple."
Liang Gaoyuan snatched the apple away viciously.
When the director came in behind the nurse who came to collect the equipment, he saw the two children eating apples quietly. The relationship between them was very peaceful, and he nodded with satisfaction.
After both of them left the hospital, Xie Yunsui came out with a report.
He modified the instrument for strong brain stimulation treatment. In order to allow medical staff to better understand the patient's mental and physical condition, the instrument not only has an emotion fluctuation threshold alarm, but also a recording device.
This report fully presents all the conversations that Liang Gaoyuan had during his sober period.
It is obvious from this conversation that Gu Xi is very different from the well-behaved and sensible person he usually appears to be.
He cleverly used his own advantages to frame Liang Gaoyuan and keep the secret for him.
Xie Yunsui didn't think that Gu Xiren was two-faced. He just thought that he must have suffered a lot since childhood, so he suppressed his personality and pretended to be the person that adults liked the most.
The small animals that survive in the jungle always have their own set of survival rules.
What Xie Yunsui cares more about is——
"Falsifying age?"
This country has very strict identity verification procedures. Xiaoxi came from an orphanage, so how could she have the ability to falsify her age?
If he didn't do it himself, who helped him change his age?
Why change his age?
Judging from the director of the shelter, he doesn't seem to know anything about it. Was it something that happened before he entered the shelter?
The ringing of his cell phone interrupted his thoughts. Xie Yunsui glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone: "Captain Li?"
"Boss Xie, help is needed! A Grade B monster has been discovered in Zhaolin City. It has tricked over a dozen people into committing suicide by jumping off buildings. Although we've detected it, its movements are elusive. Often, when we arrive at the scene, it's already escaped, and even the traps won't catch it. Could you, Boss Xie, please help me..."
Xie Yunsui: "I have something to do and can't spare the time for now."
Li Chi was just testing Xie Yunsui's attitude. Upon hearing this, he immediately asked, "Then can we ask Master Heng to go on an errand?"
"Okay, send me the specific address."
As Xie Yunsui was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered that the Paranormal Management Bureau to which Li Chi belonged was in charge of strange events across the country and should have considerable authority.
"Captain Li, could you please help me look up some information?"
