Chapter 272: Worship the God of Learning (2/2)



Xiaorong was flattered and answered her questions carefully.

It wasn't until her grandmother asked about her grades and ranking last semester that the familiar scolding voice rang out again.

"You're ranked 18th in your major? What kind of school are you attending every day? You're ranked 18th out of a hundred people. Are you even focusing on your studies?"

"You went to the same school as your uncle since childhood, and were taught by the same teacher, but how come you can't even catch up with him with even a little bit of effort!"

Xiaorong had heard similar words so many times that her ears were already callused. In addition, her test scores last semester were really not very good, so in the end she could only endure the scolding obediently.

Finally, grandma said a few more words to her, then looked at her deeply and went back to her room.

The look was so complicated that Xiaorong could only see the disappointment in it.

But she shrugged her shoulders and didn't take it to heart. Although her ranking was not good, it was not bad either. Besides, there were still two years left. If she studied hard and improved her GPA, she could still move up.

Xiaorong quickly put the matter behind her and, fearing that her grandmother would come out again, she quickly slipped into the kitchen to help.

Although most of these things were prepared for tomorrow's work, their dinner was not bad either, and they had all kinds of fish and meat in advance.

Xiaorong was enjoying her meal very much, but she didn't expect that her uncle didn't even come out for dinner. It seemed that his cold was more serious than she thought.

Xiao Rong couldn't help but look towards his bedroom with worry, and asked, "Has Uncle been to the hospital? Maybe he should get an IV drip, so he can get better faster."

Her father was about to explain that he had already been to the hospital when his grandmother interrupted him in a deep voice.

"I've checked it out at the hospital. It's nothing serious. It's just a nap. What's the big deal?"

After saying this, he added another sentence with certainty.

"He'll be fine tomorrow."

After hearing what her grandmother, who always cared about her uncle the most, said, Xiaorong naturally stopped worrying.

She thought her uncle would be better by tomorrow.

The family packed up and prepared to leave, but grandma stopped her again.

"Xiaorong, come in with me."

Xiaorong was shocked again.

This was the first time that her grandmother had taken her to her room alone.

Could it be that she would continue to talk about herself?

Seeing her serious look, her parents just thought it was funny and quickly let her go.

This is her own grandmother. Although the old lady did nag her a little, she never touched her since she was a child, let alone eat her. What is there to be afraid of?

In the end, Xiaorong could only enter her grandmother's room with a nervous mood, and then asked her grandmother what she wanted to see her about.

Grandma closed the door and suddenly took out three incense sticks from the drawer and said to Xiao Rong.

"Your grades are terrible. I've invited a deity to my home. Come and worship him. He will bless you to study hard."

Xiaorong was stunned after hearing this.

What the hell is going on? It seems that grandma said she came in to promote feudal superstition.

Although she would also worship the God of Electronics before exams, that was just a joke. Who would really burn incense like her grandmother did?

But grandma urged her on, and her tone was very stern and her attitude was even tougher, so Xiaorong had no choice but to take the incense.

Then, as my grandmother reminded me, I bowed to something she had placed on the cabinet.

After the worship, grandma drove her out and slammed the door again.

Xiaorong was stunned by this series of actions. She thought her grandmother really started to care about her, but why did she still seem so cold to her?

I really don't understand what she is thinking.

On the way home, her parents asked her grandmother what she had done after she was taken in. Xiaorong did not hide anything and told them everything her grandmother had done after she was taken in.

When her parents heard this, they were surprised at first, and then they laughed, saying that her grandmother actually did care about her, and she might just be a bit rude in her words.

Xiaorong did not comment.

But in fact, she really wanted to say that it would be better to forget about such concern, as she was not used to it.

After that, the family of three went home, washed up and went to bed.

During this period, Xiaorong also sent a WeChat message to her uncle, asking him how he was doing.

Unfortunately, she didn't get a reply, so she guessed that he was probably still sleeping.

Everything was normal that night, until the next morning, when Xiaorong was suddenly woken up by the cold.

The temperature that day was neither high nor low, about 20 degrees Celsius, and she still covered herself with a thick winter quilt at night.

Logically speaking, a thick quilt should be enough to cope with such weather, so why did she wake up from the cold?

But she didn't think much about it at the time. She just thought it was because the temperature was low in the morning, and she didn't close the window before going to bed last night, so she might have been blown by the cold wind in the morning.

She glanced at the time and realized it was getting late. Thinking that other relatives were coming over for dinner today, she got up immediately and planned to go to her grandmother's house to help.

She put on a thin coat because she felt cold before going out.

Her parents were only wearing simple long-sleeved shirts, and didn't mind her wearing two pieces. It was a bit chilly in the morning, and their daughter's constitution was a bit prone to cold, so it would be better for her to wear more clothes.

Afterwards, the three of them quickly went to Xiaorong's grandmother's house to continue preparing for the lunch break.

After Xiaorong went over there, she finally saw her uncle.

My uncle looked full of energy, with a rosy complexion, and looked very healthy. You couldn't tell that he was still resting in bed yesterday because of a cold.

It seems that grandma's guess yesterday was quite accurate. If she said that my uncle would be fine today, then he would be fine today.

After meeting her uncle, Xiaorong quickly started chatting with him and also asked about his cold.

The uncle told her that it was actually nothing serious, he just felt a little cold for those two days, but he would be fine after sleeping for a few days and sweating.

These symptoms are indeed symptoms of a cold and fever, and Xiaorong didn't think much about it.

Now that her uncle has recovered, she quickly skipped the topic and talked to him about other things.

At noon, a large group of relatives arrived and had a meal together to celebrate. During the meal, grandma asked my uncle to make a wish for good health and longevity when he blew out the candles.

Everyone present laughed when they heard it.

I thought to myself, how old is Xiaorong's uncle? He is only 24 years old. Isn't it a little too early to make such a wish?

The uncle probably didn't expect his mother to let him make such a wish, but under her repeated requests, he finally agreed reluctantly.

It's not a bad thing anyway.

This conversation lasted until two or three in the afternoon, and the relatives left one after another after they had finished chatting.

I don’t know if it’s because the crowd has dispersed and the air has become more fluid, but Xiaorong suddenly feels colder.

She was still wearing that thin coat. It shouldn't be that cold outside since the sun was out, but she felt colder and colder.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said goodbye to the others and went to the house to get dressed.

During the two days she was at home, Xiaorong felt very cold all the time and never took off her coat.

But the cold at that time was still bearable, and it would be much better if I put on a coat.

On Sunday afternoon, she said goodbye to her parents and went to school. In the following week, she felt colder and colder, and her clothes became thicker and thicker. The coldness around her seemed to be getting stronger with the passage of time.

During this period, she naturally realized that something was wrong, but she could only think of these symptoms as a cold and fever, so she went to the school hospital for a check-up. In the end, she was told that she did not have a cold and her body temperature was normal. When the school doctor heard her complain of being cold, he suggested that she do more exercise to strengthen her physical fitness.

She would feel a little warmer after exercising, but the effect was minimal and the coldness still spread. She had to use a hot pack to barely fall asleep at night.

By Friday night, which was yesterday, the hot packs and thick quilts were no longer of any use, and she had lost feeling in her arms from the cold.

While telling everything, Xiaorong was also constantly thinking.

She tried to find the details she had missed from last week to now, wondering if she had accidentally gone somewhere and encountered something bad, which was why she became like this.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she still couldn't figure out what she had done.

She went home along the same route as before, and didn't encounter any strange people or things on the way. After returning home, she met family members and relatives, and there was nothing wrong with them.

So she really couldn't figure out how she was targeted by that thing.

"Master, what the hell is going on? I really haven't offended anything. I haven't even been to a particularly cold place!"

The frozen ghost must have been frozen to death. Even in winter the lowest temperature there would not be lower than ten degrees. It is impossible for him to freeze someone to death while still alive.

So logically speaking, she shouldn't have had the chance to come into contact with the frozen ghost at all.

Hearing this, Lin Xi looked at her and said deeply.

"Just because you didn't go to a particularly cold place doesn't mean others didn't go there. Didn't your uncle go there?"

Xiaorong suddenly remembered what her father said at that time.

He said that the reason his uncle caught a cold was probably because their company went to a snowy mountain for team-building a few days ago.

So, her uncle did go to a very cold place!

But he didn't seem to have any serious problems, just a cold -

etc!

Xiaorong's eyes suddenly widened when she thought of something.

She remembered that after her uncle recovered from his cold, he told her that he had felt a little chilly for the past two days.

At that time, Xiaorong didn't think much about it and thought it was just a normal symptom of a cold.

But now think about it, how coincidental is it that the day before she started to feel cold, her uncle was also feeling the chills.

(Three in one, daily use of love power generation and small flowers, over over!)
