Chapter 250
Dungeon.
Chu Xiu pressed his forehead, clenched his hands on the table into fists, and dug his nails into his palms.
My head started to ache again.
Chu Xiu held his breath and endured it. According to his experience, this pain would not last long.
From the first headache to now, the pain has been escalating in intensity and lasting longer.
"Father..." The cub's soft body came close and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.
I don’t know when, Qi Xi, who was playing by himself, came over.
"What’s wrong with you."
Chu Xiu opened his eyes and looked down, only to see the cub looking worried.
"It's okay." He put his hand down.
Qi Xi stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to touch his forehead. "My father is lying."
He reached out, picked up the cub and placed it on his lap.
Qi Xi finally touched his forehead, gently nudging it. "Father, are you feeling uncomfortable here?"
"Xizi, give you a call."
Qi Xi imitated how she had done when she was being comforted before and tried to be close to him.
"Well, the female father was a little uncomfortable, but he is much better now."
The pain is getting worse, but it will gradually subside over time and will not affect his daily life for the time being.
And most of the time the pain comes at night.
Qi Xi pursed her lips, "My female father is not obedient."
"My father said that if you are sick, you should see a doctor."
"The female father didn't go."
Chu Xiu rested his forehead against the cub's face and corrected, "The female father is gone."
He didn't lie to the cub. The last time His Majesty and Qi Heng asked him to go for a check-up, he went there himself.
But no results were found.
"But the female father still feels uncomfortable."
Qi Xi stretched out her small hand to cover his mouth, preventing him from speaking, and said with a frown, "Father didn't sleep well, Xizi saw it."
"If the female father doesn't behave, I'll tell the male father."
He grabbed the cub's hand and said seriously, "You can't tell your father about this..."
"You can't tell me anything."
A voice came from the door, accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open.
Chu Xiu froze, not expecting to be caught on the spot.
Qi Xi's reaction was completely different from his female father's. He looked towards the source of the sound with his eyes flickering, "It's the male father's voice. The male father is coming——!"
The next second, Qi Heng pushed the door open and walked in.
He looked at the two people, one big and one small, hugging each other in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and repeated it.
"You can't tell me anything."
"I just walked to the door when I heard you were hiding something from me."
The soundproofing in the office is not good, but it's not to the point where one can hear it standing outside the door. It's just that Qi Heng has recently gotten used to projecting his mental power... so he accidentally heard it.
Qi Heng's gaze fell on Chu Xiu's face.
Chu Xiu’s skin was white, but it was still different from the paleness he had now, as if he had lost all his blood.
It's only been a few days since he last came, so how come Chu Xiu looks so much worse than last time? He communicated with A0 in his mind and asked A0 to check whether Chu Xiu had gone to the medical center for a check-up.
[There are medical records, and the results are fine.]
This doesn't look like there is any problem.
Seeing Qi Xi still sitting in Chu Xiu's arms, he walked over, put down the things in his hands, and bent down, "Xizi, come here, let your father hold you."
Qi Xi looked at his female father, then looked at him, and decisively extended his hand to him.
Qi Heng reached out and took the much sturdier cub in his arms, weighing it in his hand.
Very good, I have been eating well recently.
As soon as Qi Xi was in his arms, she put her arms around his shoulders and whispered in his ear.
"Male father, female father is not obedient."
He stared at the female insect that was almost as stiff as a log, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth that he himself didn't even notice, "Well, why aren't you being good? Tell your father about it."
After hearing his words, Qi Xi felt more confident.
"The female father can't sleep well."
Qi Xi complained, "Xizi woke up and couldn't find his female father."
Chu Xiu hadn't expected that the cub, whom he thought was sleeping soundly, would wake up in the middle of the night and find that he was not around.
Facing his gaze, Chu Xiu tried to defend himself.
“I didn’t…”
Qi Heng didn't listen, and cooperated by asking the insect cub in his arms, "Anything else?"
"Yes!" Qi Xi pinched her belly, "My father doesn't eat well. He eats even less than Xizai."
Yes, I've lost weight.
The boy originally had some flesh on his face, but now it looked as if he hadn't fed him enough.
"Even Xizi noticed it, and you still hid it from me."
Qi Heng asked: "When did it start?"
He searched his mind for the last time he saw Chu Xiu, which was ten days ago. Chu Xiu looked normal at that time.
But we can't draw conclusions like this.
Chu Xiu was more patient than he thought, so it wasn't impossible that he had been feeling unwell even earlier.
Normally, I would greet Chu Xiu in advance before coming over. If I hadn't suddenly decided to come over today, I wouldn't have caught him hiding his health condition.
Chu Xiu's hands under the table kept tightening.
"It's nothing serious, just a little discomfort every now and then, but it will be fine soon."
Seeing that Chu Xiu was trying to make the situation less serious, he held Qi Xi in one hand, pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
"Don't change the subject." He asked while having A0 give Chu Xiu a full body check.
[Medical assistance function is enabled, you can choose from the following levels...]
He replied to A0 in his heart.
The highest.
[Confirmation inspection level: Level 3; estimated consumption of 5,000 energy points, and duration of 10 minutes.]
【Scanning.】
Qi Heng continued to ask: "When did it start? Don't lie to me, I can see it."
Chu Xiu didn't know that he was talking to the system, he only knew that it was always looking at him, which put a lot of psychological pressure on Chu Xiu.
Originally, His Majesty didn't know, and I could have pretended to be deaf and dumb to get away with it.
If I still lie when being questioned in person, then that would be intentional deception.
When Chu Xiu thought of this, he swallowed the seven days that were about to come to his lips and stammered out a few words.
"It started fifteen days ago."
Qi Xi leaned in his arms, listening to their conversation with half understanding.
It is the nature of cubs to like to stick close to their parents. Qi Heng is often away, so every time he comes, he has an extra pendant on his body.
He and Chu Xiu had long been accustomed to this.
Therefore, when speaking, he did not deliberately avoid Qi Xi.
"That is, the last time I came here, I was already feeling unwell."
The A0 inspection takes ten minutes, and we still have to wait for the system's inspection report to find out what exactly happened to Chu Xiu.
"Why not?"
"Didn't I tell you that you can tell me if you feel any discomfort?" If you can't solve it yourself, there is still a system. Even if there is no treatment for the time being, you can always find a way to alleviate the symptoms.
Qi Heng looked a little serious.
Chu Xiu, who has always been decisive and straightforward, was speechless at this moment. He tried hard to find excuses for himself.
"I thought it might just be a temporary thing. You're so busy, there's no need to bother you with such a small matter."
Qi Heng opened the terminal on the desktop with one hand, directly entered the medical system, and retrieved Chu Xiu's medical records.
Although this may seem like a blurring of public and private matters, he does have the highest authority over all systems. Not to mention checking a medical record, even doing anything else is easy for him.
"You've been to the medical center."
Looking at the medical record, Chu Xiu nodded, "Yes."
"It says you're fine."
"You concealed the situation and didn't tell me. You didn't care if you couldn't find the cause of the disease. Do you think you are healthy?"
Qi Heng wanted to pry open Chu Xiu's head and see what he was thinking.
Could it be that Chu Xiu still thought that he was the female insect from ten thousand years ago, whose physical fitness exceeded the average of the Tianjia insect race in all aspects? Did he know that he woke up ten thousand years later and his physical condition was very poor.
Chu Xiu had no way to explain it, because he really was hiding his symptoms of physical discomfort. He was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't tell anyone that he had a headache when he went for a check-up.
If I say so, there will be a record in the medical records.
Furthermore, given the severity of his pain, the medical center would undoubtedly consider dispensing painkillers, given the lack of a known cause. This would also keep a record of medication receipt.
Qi Xi looked left and right and found that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong.
The female father lowered his head and didn't say anything, and the male father seemed to be angry. This seemed to be the first time he saw the male father so angry.
Qi Xi patted Xiong's father hesitantly. When Xiong's father noticed, he said, "Xiong's father, please don't be angry with Ci's father. Ci's father will be obedient."
"Father Xiong is not angry." Qi Heng said calmly.
He really wasn't angry, it was just that Chu Xiu's concealment caused his emotions to fluctuate a little.
Chu Xiu has always been very "obedient", and now that Qi Heng found out that he was hiding something from him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But... I don't find it particularly surprising.
Qi Heng sighed, "Is there something wrong with your mental strength?"
He recalled the report from the last time the system gave Chu Xiu a physical examination. That report mentioned that there was a problem with Chu Xiu's mental power, but there was no diagnosis of mental disorder.
Chu Xiu didn't want to lie to him, so he hesitated for a moment before giving the answer.
"Spiritual power... probably not."
"should?"
Chu Xiu said: "I haven't used my mental power during this period of time."
I used it once at the beginning, but soon realized that my mental strength was too far from what I remembered, and using it too much would cause headaches.
In order to prevent the headache from affecting my daily work, and since there is really no need to use mental power, I have not used it again.
Upon hearing this, Qi Heng first communicated with A0 in his mind, and then learned that this examination involved the mental power of the female insect, and the mental power of the male insect would be more suitable than the system scan.
He said, "...Let me check you out."
His words startled Chu Xiu.
"How can this be? I don't feel any problem with my mental strength. No need to trouble you."
"Don't believe me? Well, after all, I haven't examined female insects." Qi Heng said, who indeed had no relevant experience in this area.
Thinking that the mental power test required close contact, Chu Xiu felt a little overwhelmed.
"No, it's just that this is too much trouble for you."
"No trouble, I'm happy to do it." He stretched out his hand and pointed at the medicine he brought on the table. "I'll examine you first, and then we'll see how to use the medicine."
Chu Xiu noticed what he brought early on, but since the outer packaging said "Wujin Mall", he thought it was something else, but he didn't expect it to be medicine.
"It's a drug for treating mental disorders, but it can also treat or alleviate most mental illnesses of female insects."
Qi Heng explained.
He knew that Chu Xiu should have read the relevant documents. After all, the information from the drug research and development center was always updated in real time. It was impossible for Chu Xiu not to pay attention to the drug production that was closely related to female insects.
