Chapter 41 Do You Think I'm a Burden?
Huo Qi stood up and tried to get closer to the child, but he didn't realize that his movements were too big. Mu Jiao, who was a light sleeper, felt the movement and opened her almond-shaped eyes to see Huo Qi, who was now half-sitting up.
"Brother Qi, you're awake."
Mu Jiao was pleasantly surprised, then a little embarrassed. She didn't know what was wrong, but she seemed to be sleeping so well lately. Could it be because she'd been spending too much time with Meng Meng?
I don’t know how long Brother Huo Qi has been awake, I didn’t even notice it.
Seeing that Huo Qi was about to sit on the bed, Mu Jiao quickly placed a pillow behind him.
"Jiaojiao, did you have anything to tell me before?" Although he regretted not being able to take a closer look at the child, the child's happy expression when he saw that he had woken up made Huo Qi feel better.
"Uh, it's nothing serious. I'd better call that...therapist in first."
Embarrassing, Mu Jiao suddenly realized that she still didn’t know the name of her “childhood sweetheart”.
Mu Jiao stood up and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Huo Qi.
"No rush, I'm fine now. Jiaojiao, tell me about your situation first."
Seeing that Huo Qi was in good condition, Mu Jiao had no choice but to sit back on the stool.
"Okay, well, it's like this. I'm running low on medicinal herbs. Chengtong Star has a great geographical location, so I want to go out and explore Chengtong Star these few days to collect more herbs and prepare medicinal herbs."
"Is that so... Then wait for me to recover a little over the next two days, okay?"
"Brother Qi, are you going with me?" Mu Jiao was a little surprised. She had discovered in the past few days that Huo Qi was actually a very busy man.
"Of course, I've finished my recent work. You're still young, and I'm worried about you being alone," Huo Qi replied casually. His goal had been achieved, so he naturally wasn't busy anymore; it was someone else's turn to be busy.
"Brother Qi, you can just send a few people to follow me. You are not in good health, and collecting herbs is a hard job." Mu Jiao did not want Huo Qi to go with her. The main reason was naturally that she was afraid that her "childhood sweetheart" would misunderstand.
"Jiaojiao, do you think I'm a burden?" Huo Qi's eyes dimmed when he heard that the child didn't seem to want him to follow.
Then……
All Mu Jiao could hear was a pitiful tone of being despised. And then there was Mou Qi, lying on the bed with her head lowered, her lips pale and bloodless.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean... I... If you're willing, then you can go with me." Mu Jiao felt as if she had inadvertently hurt Brother Qi's self-esteem, so she hurriedly explained and then... compromised.
"good."
Huo Qi finally raised his head and smiled.
Mu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief...
…
"By the way, Brother Qi, why did you suddenly become ill this time? This shouldn't happen. When I took your pulse a few days ago, the coldness in your body was clearly melting away bit by bit. How could this happen?"
Mu Jiao had recently told Huo Qi the principles of her pulse diagnosis, and also told him that she had such a unique talent.
There are many kinds of superpowers in the interstellar world, but Mu Jiao's talent is indeed very special. However, what is more special is not her superpower, but... as a person with both mental and physical strength, she actually possesses talent, which has never happened in the history of the interstellar world.
Huo Qi naturally told Mu Jiao about her special talent, and told her that this matter must not be told to anyone except the two of them.
He was naturally very happy about the child's confession, which showed that the child had regarded him as a trustworthy person, but he was also afraid that the child was too naive and the darkness of human nature was too terrifying.
So he repeatedly warned the child not to tell anyone except him.
Huo Qi was so focused on Mu Jiao that he completely forgot that he was the most terrifying person in the eyes of his opponent.
Mu Jiao naturally nodded in agreement. Nothing was more important than saving her life. After all, there's a saying that goes, one should always be on guard against others.
Mu Jiao took Huo Qi's pulse and looked a little unhappy. Why did she find that the coldness in Huo Qi's body had increased a lot this time? Although it seemed to be suppressed temporarily, the coldness became abnormally active, constantly attacking the barrier, and seemed to be ready to break through at any time.
Ruo Mujiao guessed correctly that when this obstacle was broken through, Huo Qi's genetic collapse syndrome would relapse.
What on earth is going on? The cold weather was very docile a few days ago and was gradually dissipating.
Mu Jiao frowned slightly, her face full of bitterness and hatred...
"Could there be something wrong with the medicinal food?" Mu Jiao thought about it, but felt that it was impossible.
"It's not Jiaojiao's medicinal food. I used my innate power." Huo Qi seemed to see Mu Jiao's suspicion and said softly.
"Use your innate power?" Mu Jiao's voice unconsciously became a little higher.
She had read a lot of information about gene collapse syndrome these days and knew clearly that once someone had gene collapse syndrome, they could not use their innate power, otherwise it would induce the disease, accelerate the breakage of the gene chain, and even directly lead to sudden death.
The first time Huo Qi was saved by Mu Jiao was because... Compared to the time when he was almost on the verge of death, the result of using his innate power this time was many times better than the last time.
The icy pain this time was much lighter than the first time he was ill. For Huo Qi, who was in the late stage of genetic collapse syndrome, the pain this time only made him happy, because his genetic collapse syndrome was getting better, wasn't it?
Huo Qi carefully explained his physical condition to Mu Jiao, and Mu Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that Huo Qi's body was in dire need of medicinal food to stabilize his condition, Mu Jiao talked to Huo Qi and then left the room. Of course, she also informed Xikai Epei, who was guarding outside the room, that Brother Qi had woken up.
It seemed that this "childhood sweetheart" of Brother Qi had been waiting outside the house. Upon hearing that the Second Prince had woken up, Xi Kai's expression finally improved a lot. He straightened his clothes, and after getting permission, he pushed open the door and walked in...
…
Mu Jiao was busy making medicinal food in the kitchen.
"Mmm, mmm..." Is Jiaojiao going to make something delicious again? Xiong can still eat two bowls.
Mengmeng is a bear who can eat and sleep well. He will rest for one to two hours every time after eating. For the medicinal meal at noon, this little guy made a lot of it by himself.
Then it went to sleep. I don’t know when it woke up. As soon as Mujiao came out, the little guy followed Mujiao happily.
"Okay, I'll give you some when it's done, but I have to focus on Brother Qi first because he's sick."
"Boo, boo, boo..." Bear doesn't want it, I have to hold Bear tight first, Jiaojiao doesn't care about Bear anymore, Jiaojiao doesn't care about Bear anymore...
Mu Jiao got a headache looking at Mengmeng rolling around at her feet.
"Okay, okay, I love you the most. But, Mengmeng, have you noticed that you seem to have gained a lot of weight recently, and you're a little fat." Mu Jiao stretched out a finger and gently poked the bear.
The reason why Mu Jiao said this was of course not to coax the Bichon Frise to eat less, but it was because it had indeed gained too much weight recently. Mu Jiao thought it was just bloating at first, but only realized when she gave it a bath last night that it was not, it was really fat!
The reason why Mu Jiao's medicinal herbs were consumed so quickly during this period was that most of them were eaten by this little guy as snacks.
"嘤~~" Is this bear really fat?
"Yes, look at your little belly, it's almost touching the ground when you walk." Mu Jiao gave a cute affirmative answer.
"Boo, boo, boo..." Bear's heart was broken...
Although Mengmeng is a bear, he loves beauty very much and cannot allow himself to become ugly.
"Ohhhhhhhh..." Ben Bear announced that starting today he would exercise, eat less, be thin and beautiful, and not be fat.
Smelling the delicious aroma,
"Hmm..." Eat less, it's hard on your teeth.
…
Mu Jiao easily dealt with the rolling Meng Meng, but in Huo Qi's room, the atmosphere was very bad...
