After resting at the hotel for two days, I called Hou Taotao and asked her to ask for two more days off for me.
Situ Ming's body is extremely fragile right now, like a rose soaked in liquid nitrogen, it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Even Lin Daiyu was healthier than him.
The next day, I heard there was a fashion show at the anime convention, so I decided to go check it out.
"Anyway, we'll be going back in two or three days. I'll go with you to the fashion show to relax!" Zhao Xiaoyue wanted to go to the comic convention with him.
This trip wasn't entirely in vain; at least she wasn't as dejected as she had been recently.
Zhao Xiaoyue was really not in the mood. "Go by yourself, I'll pay. And come back quickly this time!"
One person left the comic convention alone.
When Zhao Xiaoyue knocked on the door of Situ Ming's room at the comic convention, she was carrying a thermal lunchbox.
Situ Ming opened the door and was greeted by the girl's bright, sparkling eyes. "Hello, Brother Ming, how are you feeling today!"
He slipped into the room and muttered to himself, "Let me tell you, this medicine is unusual. Hou Tao went to great lengths to find it from a faraway place."
When Hou Taotao received the call, he finally felt relieved, as he had been afraid that he would lose control of the ship.
But when I heard that the traditional Chinese medicine had to be mailed to such a far place, my heart jumped into my throat.
"You're injured? Where are you injured? How did you get injured? Which bastard did this?"
Zhao Xiaoyue quickly reassured him, "It's alright, Brother Tao, I'll be back in a few days. A friend of mine needs some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate his body."
Hou Taotao slumped back onto the sofa. "That's good, that's good! Just tell me what you need and I'll send someone over."
Then Zhao Xiaoyue wrote out a long list of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for warming and nourishing the body, and instructed that it was essential to buy them from a larger pharmacy.
Looking at the busy young girl, Situ Ming thought she looked more and more like a foxtail grass swaying in the wind.
He's drunk six bowls of this dark stuff in the last two days; it's so bitter it feels like his internal organs are shifting.
The little girl just stared straight at him, so he had no choice but to drink it all in one gulp!
This is the seventh bowl today, and it smells even more bitter than the previous two days.
His whole body screamed refusal, yet his mouth seemed to have its own thoughts: "Well, I'll have Duan Peng thank Hou Taotao when we get back."
Looking at the medicine in front of me, I wondered who invented this thing. It was dark and tasted terribly bitter, yet it could cure diseases?
"Don't look at it anymore. This is a nourishing product. I'll adjust the prescription when we get back. First, nourish it, then treat it, and then use Western medicine for treatment. It will take at least one or two years for your body to recover."
Ignoring the body's resistance, Situ Ming's hand cooperated with his mouth to drink the bowl of dark stuff.
I had just put it down when a piece of candy was stuffed into my mouth, the kind that's so sweet it's sickening.
Two extreme flavors exploded in his mouth, and he quickly picked up his water glass, took a sip, and tried to calm himself down.
Zhao Xiaoyue sat on the small sofa and asked in confusion, "Isn't this candy sweet? My master said the sweetness is just right!"
She once took this kind of candy, and her master said it was very sweet and he liked it very much.
Zhao Xiaoyue casually popped one into her mouth, and immediately her features scrunched up. "How can something be so cloying? It's sickeningly sweet!"
Situ Ming couldn't help but laugh, "Why don't you try the one in the thermos? It'll neutralize it."
Zhao Xiaoyue drank water and then it didn't feel so salty in her throat.
"Brother Ming, aren't you an exchange student? How come you're being locked up in a place like that?"
That was a brutal arena devoid of humanity!
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Situ Ming stared directly at the girl opposite him.
"You don't even know how you got to that kind of place, and you didn't feel anything along the way?"
Zhao Xiaoyue glanced at the boy's outstanding appearance, "Like being abused or something?"
Situ Ming laughed angrily, "Don't think nonsense, kid. We're being raised to be sold."
He was awake a few times during that time, and just then, several cages were carried out. He overheard them talking about how those cages had been sold for very high prices and how happy the Seventh Princess was.
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes darkened. Were they also going to sell?
That arena, to put it bluntly, was a mobile casino, and the perverted woman was one of the arena's owners.
Her quirk is keeping people as pets, and they have to be beautiful and attractive.
Those who enter the cage are the private property of the perverted Seventh Miss, and they cannot come out or be touched by others; otherwise, anyone who touches them will have their hand chopped off.
Zhao Xiaoyue understood. Luckily, she hadn't been violated, otherwise... She paused, "Otherwise what?" What did this have to do with her?
So I quickly tried to make amends in my mind, otherwise it would be a pity for this kid, who would be ruined before even entering society!
"So... do you know how many kinds of drugs you were given?"
Situ Ming slowly shook his head. All he knew was that he had drunk the glass of water in the dormitory; he knew nothing else.
Zhao Xiaoyue rubbed her chin; the drug must be used to control people.
In this way, quitting becomes easier, and there are no long-term side effects.
When should we notify Duan Peng and the others?
Situ Ming smiled slightly, "Tomorrow! Aren't you going back tomorrow?"
The little girl withered instantly, like a delicate flower that had been exposed to paraquat. She slumped onto the table and muttered, "Yeah, I have to go back tomorrow. What's the point of coming out? I still have to go back and face reality!"
Her delicate white hands kept drawing circles on the table.
Seeing the little girl's troubled expression, I asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Xiaoyue's eyes dimmed, but she still shook her head, "No, it's just that the pressure of studying is too great."
She gave herself an excuse: "After all, I'm only twelve years old and I'll be a high school freshman this year. In less than five or six years, I'll have learned what people take nine years to learn. I feel a lot of pressure."
No one can know about my master's passing, not even the people I trust most.
Situ Ming sighed helplessly, thinking, "That cunning weed, if you don't want to tell the truth, then don't. Why do you have to make up such a reason?"
"Zhao Xiaoyue, are you showing off your intelligence to me?" Situ Ming said irritably, "What you did took me eight or nine years to skip a grade, and I only got help with that!"
Oh!
What a blunder! What a blunder!
"No, no, absolutely not!" she denied three times, adding a solemn oath, "I was just in a bad mood and came out to clear my head! I absolutely did not mean to show off!"
Look how anxious he is!
Situ Ming chuckled, "It doesn't matter if it is, you're smart anyway!"
Wow, that doesn't sound right at all. If it weren't for his frail appearance, I would have gone up and ripped his ears off.
Zhao Xiaoyue was still feeling a little embarrassed when she heard Situ Ming say very solemnly, "Zhao Xiaoyue, thank you for saving me again!"
Many of the previous dangers were self-inflicted, some came from so-called brothers and sisters, and some were orchestrated by Situ Kun.
This time was an exception.
He thought he would die in the cage, and thought it would be better to die like this.
Unexpectedly, she appeared!
Could this be considered God's mercy upon him?
