Chapter 204 Extra
Qin Huai was not too worried about Mu Nan's fever. With Mu Nan's weak resistance, catching a cold and having a fever were common. Sometimes he would cough for a month, and no matter how many injections or medicines he took, his condition did not improve. So he asked for leave from Mu Nan's class teacher, and after telling his own class teacher, he planned to take Mu Nan home to rest.
Antipyretic patches, anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretic medicines are all common medicines at home. Go home, take some medicine and take a nap. If the temperature can go down, it's fine. If it can't go down, go to the community health center closer to home to get an antipyretic injection. Qin Huai is so familiar with this series of operating procedures that he feels a little distressed, otherwise he would not have set his goal on medical university.
But this time the situation seemed a little different. On the way home, Mu Nan's body became hotter and hotter. He cried out that he had a headache and his consciousness gradually faded. Qin Huai hurriedly asked the taxi driver to change route and go directly to the hospital. After getting out of the car, he carried Mu Nan to the hospital because Mu Nan had already lost consciousness.
As soon as he entered the hospital, he underwent a bunch of tests. His fever was almost 40 degrees Celsius, so he had to be cooled down urgently and have his blood tested. Because Mu Nan had been complaining of headaches, he was also scheduled for a CT scan. He was not admitted to the ward until the afternoon, but the results were not out yet.
After hanging for almost five bottles of water, Mu Nan's temperature finally came down. He woke up in a daze and was shocked to see himself in a hospital bed.
Seeing that he was still energetic after waking up, Qin Huai's tense mood finally relaxed a little: "You were shocked, and I was shocked too. The fever was almost 40 degrees. I almost went crazy. I'm not smart enough to begin with."
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai with dissatisfaction: "I'm already sick and you don't say anything nice to comfort me, and you still think I'm stupid."
Qin Huai felt the temperature of his forehead and confirmed that it had completely dropped. Then he said, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? We can only order takeout now. We can't go back and cook for you."
The food delivery industry had not yet become popular at that time, but it still existed. It was just that you would just call the merchant to place your order and then collect the money directly after the merchant delivered the food. Food delivery platforms had not yet come out.
Mu Nan sat up from the bed, looked at the drip that was about to run out, and said, "It's only a little bit left. Let's go home and eat after it's done. Otherwise, I'll have run out of water before the takeaway arrives. It's too weird to wait for takeaway in the hospital."
Qin Huai put two pillows behind him for him to lean on, and used his phone to pull out the menu of a nearby restaurant that he had just found online and showed it to Mu Nan: "I'm not going back today. I have to stay in the hospital and wait for the results."
"No way, my fever has subsided, what results are I waiting for? What tests did I take?"
Qin Huai: "You kept complaining of a headache and fainted, so I checked a head CT scan. By the way, I also want to do a full body check with you. It happens to be convenient to go to the hospital for a physical examination. See what you want to eat. I asked the doctor, as long as you have an appetite, you don't need to restrict your diet, although it's better to try to eat light food."
If he was here for a physical examination, Mu Nan would definitely not want to. No one likes to go to the hospital for no reason. Even if it was a minor problem that could be treated by themselves, they would rather bear the pain than go to the hospital. But now that he was here, he might as well get a checkup. Anyway, he knew that it would be useless if he refused.
Early the next morning, Mu Nan was taken for a lot of tests on an empty stomach. If the doctor hadn't examined him and said it was unnecessary, Qin Huai would have even wanted to arrange a gastroscopy for him and insert a tube. Mu Nan would never agree to it no matter what, as he was fine and didn't want to make something wrong with him.
Finally, after all the check-ups, he was discharged from the hospital with the result that everything was normal except that he was a little underweight.
Mu Nan thought that this was just a small episode in life, and that he would have to go back to school to endure the torture after completing the sick leave Qin Huai asked for him. Unexpectedly, one afternoon, when he was playing with Qin Huai's computer at home, he accidentally dropped the mobile phone on the table. He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but as soon as he touched the phone, it disappeared out of thin air.
Mu Nan was startled and quickly shouted to Qin Huai: "The phone is missing. I just put it here and I accidentally pushed it over. I rushed to grab it and then it disappeared. It disappeared suddenly!"
As soon as Mu Nan said that, Qin Huai knew what was going on. In his previous life, he had seen Mu Nan take things out of thin air, but it had never happened in this life. He was still wondering when Mu Nan had acquired such ability. It seemed that it was very likely that he had acquired it after he suddenly had a fever and an abnormal headache this time.
Fortunately, he had a physical examination at that time and everything was normal. Moreover, after so many years in the previous life, Mu Nan was very skilled in the ability to take objects out of thin air. It should be used frequently. However, even though it can be confirmed that this sudden ability is safe for the time being, Qin Huai still took Mu Nan to try it out carefully one by one.
Any ability has a threshold, just like humans themselves, excessive consumption will harm the body. If this ability is used well, it will be a trump card to save your life in the future. If it is used poorly, it will be a fatal disaster.
Obviously, Mu Nan in his previous life was also very cautious and afraid of being discovered, but the environment he grew up in and his personal experiences restricted him. He didn't dare to use this ability to make money, nor did he learn to use this ability to save his life. Otherwise, with such a special skill that no one could have imagined, he would not have been killed by a few gangsters.
Now that Mu Nan has this ability again in this life, Qin Huai must at least teach Mu Nan how to protect himself in critical moments.
There was a period of time when Mu Nan, who had the space, felt that he had become a completely different person and that the world could no longer accommodate him. However, this kind of overwhelming expansion did not last long and was shattered by the increased training by Qin Huai.
Seeing the man collapse on the ground after hitting the sandbag a few times and unable to even lift his hands, Qin Huai poked his thin arm and said, "You think it's that easy to be a superman? Get up and keep practicing."
Mu Nan lay on the ground and wailed: "I don't want to be a superman anymore, I'm so tired, brother, I don't want this anymore, I'll give it to you, I'm just a salted fish."
Qin Huai directly pulled the man up: "You can be a salted fish, but you can't be a salted fish without the ability to fight back and protect yourself. Continue."
Under Qin Huai's high-pressure training, Mu Nan completely lost all love for this space that appeared for unknown reasons. He hoped a thousand times every day that this thing could be transferred to Qin Huai one day. He even dreamed that he solemnly handed the space to Qin Huai and then liberated himself. Unfortunately, it was just a dream.
Although he didn't love it anymore, Mu Nan knew that space was a good thing and should be cherished, but it was also a dangerous thing and should be used with caution. But at this moment, he didn't know what would happen in the future. What he thought about most was going out to play in the future. He could easily bring back as many things as he wanted to buy.
Qin Huai was also observing Mu Nan's space. It was said that it was like another space that only Mu Nan could see. Time stood still and the storage capacity was infinite, but the process of storage was a kind of consumption. From current comparative observations, the more things there were and the larger the objects were, the greater the consumption.
Qin Huai made a count and found that when he collected more than twenty large barrels of family-sized mineral water, Mu Nan said he felt a little dizzy. Qin Huai didn't know whether this could be improved through later training and proficiency in collection and release, so he needed to continue exploring.
While helping Mu Nan adapt to the existence of space from novelty to daily life, the monthly exams for all grades from first to third year of high school began more than a month after school started.
In the past, Mu Nan must have been very nervous, as there is no student who isn't nervous when facing exams. But now, after such a long period of mental brainwashing by Qin Huai, Mu Nan has completely let go. He likes painting and has decided to pursue a career in painting in the future, so good academic performance is icing on the cake, and average academic performance doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't fail.
Because it was an in-school self-study exam, the test was finished on Friday and the results were out on Monday. However, only the top 100 students in each grade would be posted on the list. Not surprisingly, Qin Huai was still first in the grade, with a total score close to full marks, just three points short. Bai Jun was always second in the grade.
Jiang Xuan had just come back from checking his grades. In the last grade-wide exam, he was in the top 20. This time, he dropped directly to over 80, almost falling out of the top 100. This gap made him extremely nervous, especially when he entered the classroom. The originally lively classroom seemed to suddenly become quiet, and he felt as if everyone was talking about him.
Subconsciously holding onto the strap of his schoolbag, Jiang Xuan tried to act naturally as he walked towards his seat. He sat in front of Qin Huai. At this moment, his former deskmate next to him ran to the front, not sure if he was discussing questions with someone or chatting with them. Bai Jun was sitting there chatting with Qin Huai.
Since the last birthday party, the two people who almost never talked to each other somehow became close. Bai Jun would share some delicious snacks from abroad with Qin Huai, and Qin Huai would also take the initiative to ask Bai Jun what delicious food they had here, or where there are fun places not far away that can be visited on a day trip.
Just like now, Jiang Xuan put down his schoolbag and sat down, and heard Bai Jun say: "There is a farmhouse over there called Nong Jia Le, that's the name, their grilled lamb chops are amazing, I tell you, there is also a grass slide in the back, you can sit on the big tire and slide down the high slope, you can go and have fun, the weather is just right now, if you want to go, tell me, I will bring people, cars and things, we will go barbecue, barbecue needs more people to have atmosphere."
Qin Huai did not refuse and said with a smile: "I'll ask Nan Nan."
Jiang Xuan came over and interrupted naturally: "Why do you suddenly want to go for a barbecue? How did Mu Nan do in the exam this time?"
Mu Nan's test results were not very good this time, but not too bad either. His grade ranking was far off the charts, he was ranked 37th in the class, and there were only 45 students in his class.
Qin Huai smiled, and was obviously in a good mood. He said, "He did well in the exam. He deserves a reward for not being the last one. So I plan to take him out to play this weekend. He should relax after studying so hard."
Jiang Xuan thought to himself, if he relaxes any more he will really be the last in the grade. Not being the last means he deserves a reward. What kind of spoiled logic is this?
Although Jiang Xuan knew that Qin Huai's doting was the real harm, his character had not yet been tempered. Even though he knew that it would be best to dote on Mu Nan as much as possible and turn him into a fool, compared with his increasing study pressure and even the burden of his parents' expectations, he also wanted to be a doted person.
So before the words even left his mind, he blurted out: "If you don't have any expectations of him, what will he do in the college entrance examination in the future?"
Before Qin Huai could say anything, Bai Jun said, "What can you do? You can go abroad in the future. When Mu Nan reaches the third year of high school, I should be abroad. If you need anything, just contact me. I will take care of all the documents for going abroad, school references, accommodation, etc."
Bai Jun had good grades, so the college entrance examination was not a problem for him, but his family had already arranged for him to study abroad, so he didn't care about the college entrance examination at all, and he didn't care about grades as much as other people did. Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Huai indulging Mu Nan like this. Some people might not have talent in studying, and he never liked the domestic system of judging by grades.
Jiang Xuan looked at Qin Huai: "Go abroad? Are you planning to let Mu Nan go abroad? Going abroad will cost a lot of money, and Mu Nan may not be able to master the language alone. Do you think you will go to college and work part-time to support him?"
Bai Jun looked at Jiang Xuan, leaning back in his chair, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Why are you reacting so strongly? It's not like it's your money. Why do you sound like you don't want Mu Nan to go abroad?"
Jiang Xuan said quickly: "I just think that if the conditions are limited, it is the same to work hard for the domestic college entrance examination. Going abroad is not something you can just ask for. If your family is not short of money, of course there is no pressure to go abroad, but other families may not have it easy."
Bai Jun sneered, then looked at Qin Huai: "Before, I thought it didn't matter whether to go abroad or not. Anyway, unless the education abroad is top-notch, it's not much better than that in China. But now I think that if possible, you should go out with Mu Nan to see the world, otherwise you will become a frog in a well if you stay in the alley for too long."
Qin Huai, who had been listening to their confrontation without saying anything, finally spoke up: "Well, we really need to go out and take a look."
On the one hand, it allows you to go out and see the world and come into contact with different people and things. On the other hand, it allows you to make good use of the space to store some things.
The bell rang, and Bai Jun returned to his seat. Jiang Xuan then said to Qin Huai, "That's not what I meant just now. I just think it will be very hard for you to take care of yourself and Mu Nan."
Qin Huai said: "I know you don't mean that. I have a plan. Don't worry."
Jiang Xuan wanted to say something else, but the teacher had already walked in, so he had to turn around and do his job.
Their head teacher looked around the class and said, "Some students have very stable grades, which is worthy of praise, but now is the final sprint year, and stability cannot be distracted. However, some students' grades have been declining since the beginning of the school year, and they can't stand the pressure as time goes by. How will they compete in society in the future? Those students know it themselves, so I won't say much. Let's hand out the test papers first and talk about the last big question first."
Jiang Xuan knew that the teacher was talking about him. He had always been praised and had never heard such words from anyone. His cheeks flushed with shame and he could no longer concentrate on his studies.
Especially because of this drastic drop in his grades, his parents were invited for a talk. He had always had excellent grades, but now his grades had dropped so badly. Faced with his father's confusion, his mother even suspected that he was in a premature relationship. It was the first time that his family yelled at him for his grades, and they told him over and over again about how hard they worked to support his studies, and how they expected him to succeed.
He just didn't understand. Just because he did poorly on a test, did it mean that all his previous excellence would be negated.
She was so angry that she slammed the door, blocking out all the scolding, but then she saw Qin Huai, who didn't have to go to evening self-study, and who came to pick up Mu Nan after school on time every day. Today, he even took Mu Nan to eat hot pot. The circle of friends was posted by Qin Huai. The photo on it was a hot pot restaurant in the background. Mu Nan was drinking Coke and looking at the camera with a smile, and the text Qin Huai posted was to celebrate the end of the first monthly exam in his high school career.
What is there to celebrate when your grade is among the bottom 100 in the entire grade?
Qin Huai put down his phone. After he posted on WeChat Moments, there were many messages, but Jiang Xuan's was not among them. However, he knew that Jiang Xuan must have seen it, especially since his parents were called in today because of his grades. It goes without saying that today would probably be another day when he would not be in the mood to study.
He would not do anything to lead others to bully Jiang Xuan, although it was easy for him. This was a conflict between him and Jiang Xuan, and there was no need to involve a third party, so his revenge depended on Jiang Xuan's own tolerance.
Mu Nan, who had no idea what Qin Huai was doing with his circle of friends and was only thinking about Coke and hotpot, was extremely satisfied with the meal. He did so poorly on the exam, but his brother didn't blame him at all and even took him out to eat hotpot. Qin Huai was indeed the best brother in the world. But since Qin Huai didn't blame him, he still felt a little guilty. So Mu Nan decided to study hard and not end up being the last in the grade, which would be too embarrassing.
After eating and drinking, the two of them walked home. On the way home, they happened to pass a 4S store. Qin Huai asked Mu Nan, "What kind of car do you like? A smaller one, an off-road one, or an SUV like this."
Mu Nan peeked inside through the closed window: "You want to buy a car? Isn't it too early? Besides, you will be going to the capital after graduating from high school, and you can't take the car with you."
Qin Huai: "I can get a driver's license when I turn 18. A car can be used for at least half a year. We can go out for fun every weekend. Most importantly, we can put some things we buy in the car and quietly store them in the space. When we go to the capital in the future, we can sell the car second-hand."
Mu Nan exclaimed: "Go out to play every week?"
Qin Huai smiled and said, "Don't want to?"
Mu Nan nodded repeatedly: "I want to!"
After saying that, he ran to the door of the store and looked inside through the glass: "Brother, the silver one looks good. I like the silver one. The black one looks good too. The base is so high. It suits your height. What brand are these? Is it expensive?"
Qin Huai: "It's not expensive. We'll come and look at the car in a couple of days. We'll make an order first, and we can go on the road right away after we get our driver's license."
With a car, they can go to more places, but some things are not convenient to buy in large quantities now. In the era of big data, with the popularity of mobile phone payments, many things are not easy to hide. Anyway, there is still plenty of time. He has enough time to take Mu Nan out to play while stockpiling things. When a disaster strikes in the future, maybe they can stockpile enough goods for an entire shopping mall.
When he goes abroad in the future, in addition to buying supplies, he will also have to take Mu Nan to practice shooting. However, he hopes that he will not have the opportunity to use this kind of thing in the future.
