36. Night 36 Help Me
Because he didn't know whether Xiang Chenglin would be targeted again, Lu Xi took him directly back to the villa. Xiang Chenglin looked around the luxuriously decorated villa and didn't expect that there would be such a building in the school.
"Do you know who is trying to arrest you?"
"I don't know." Xiang Chenglin sighed. "But... it seems like they're in the same group as last time. She mocked that guy for being incompetent."
Lu Xi thought about it and frowned slightly.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
Xiang Chenglin smiled bitterly. How could he dare to say that? Besides, no one would believe him even if he did. "Don't worry."
The mermaid was still covered in blood. Lu Xi pulled him upstairs and followed him into the bathroom. When she and the mermaid appeared in front of Xiang Chenglin again, Xiang Chenglin looked at them strangely.
"You guys...are still high school students, right?"
Xiang Chenglin hesitated and said, "High school is more about studying. It's better to wait until college to have sex."
"What are you thinking?" Lu Xi frowned, knowing that he had misunderstood. "We are not what you think."
Lu Xi took out a hair dryer and helped the mermaid blow dry his hair. He was still in disguise, and his hair and eyes were still black.
While Lu Xi was blowing his hair, he sat quietly. Lu Xi's slender fingers were fiddling with his hair. He closed his eyes slightly, squinting like a kitten being combed by its owner.
Lu Xi likes to help him blow dry his hair. His hair is very soft and comfortable to touch, just like the fur of some kind of cat.
A feline? Definitely not a kitten.
Yuan Sen glanced at Xiang Chenglin who was sitting on the sofa. Xiang Chenglin felt a chill on his back and got goose bumps.
The mermaid didn't say anything and turned around and went upstairs.
It was not until the young man walked up to the second floor and disappeared in the corridor that Xiang Chenglin felt the air begin to flow smoothly.
"You can sleep in the room at the end of the second floor tonight. There is a bathroom in the room. Oh, and don't use the separate bathroom on the second floor."
Lu Xi found a set of clothes for Xiang Chenglin, which was probably left by the person who used to take care of the mermaid. It was a set of men's pajamas.
Xiang Chenglin slept unexpectedly well that night. When he woke up, it was already dawn and sunlight was pouring in from the balcony.
Listening to the clear bird songs, he got up from the bed and walked to the balcony, where he saw two figures standing not far downstairs.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xi asked.
The boy turned his head and stared at the room at the end of the second floor. There was nothing on the balcony. He turned his head back and said, "Nothing."
Xiang Chenglin leaned against the corner of the wall next to the balcony and did not come out until a long time later. The people downstairs had already left.
What he had experienced in the past few days was too unbelievable for him. What was the identity of the brutal boy? And the little girl, who looked weak, was able to kick a monster unconscious.
Xiang Chenglin rubbed his forehead with a headache.
After class at noon, Lu Xi received a call from Ji Qiuhu.
"They are poachers." Ji Qiuhu said.
Lu Xi called Ji Qiuhu last night and was surprised she'd replied so quickly. "They're still so long-suffering. It seems all these years of hardship haven't taught them a lesson." The Yuan clan has been hunting them, but they've been hiding so well they're harder to eliminate than rats in a ditch. "That human is quite interesting, though."
"I found some interesting information. You can take a look at it."
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang as soon as the other end hung up the phone.
When he opened the door and saw the middle-aged man next to Ji Qiuhu, he said respectfully: "Miss Lu Xi, this is what the lady asked me to give to you."
He handed over a brown paper bag.
"Well, I'll take my leave then."
Lu Xi took out the information and looked at it, and finally understood what Ji Qiuhu meant by "interesting". It turned out that Xiang Chenglin's generations had all been doctors, and their family not only treated illnesses and saved lives, but also had research on animal treatment and had rescued many wild animals. The information showed that they had also transplanted the internal organs of dead animals to sick animals and successfully saved critically ill animals, including corneal transplants. That animal is still kept in the zoo.
Nowadays, human medical research is basically focused on curing diseases and saving lives. However, the Xiang Chenglin family has not given up animal research, which is one of the few that they have done so far. Poachers are probably targeting their research on animals. What are they planning?
Lu Xi stared at the information in his hand. Corneal transplant... eh? Can Assent's eyes be cured? But where can he find a suitable cornea? All his people have died long ago.
Suddenly Lu Xi's phone rang again. It was Ji Qiuhu calling.
"Have you taken a look at the information?" Ji Qiuhu said.
"Yeah." Lu Xi responded, "What are your plans?" She vaguely guessed the other party's plan, but still waited for her to say it.
"I want... him to heal Yuan Sen's eyes."
"Doesn't the Yuan family already have a hospital? Why do they still need him?" Lu Xi frowned. The Yuan family's hospital specializes in treating the demon race. In terms of medical attainments, no one understands the demon race better than themselves.
"His blindness is a secret. Besides, I suspect there are dirty tricks in Yuanshi Hospital that could harm him."
Lu Xi had failed to consider this point. She thought that after so many years, Yuanshi had made some improvements in management.
It seems that things are more complicated than she thought.
"What a filth."
"I don't know. It could be some restless tribesmen. I suspect someone is colluding with the poachers, but we're still investigating."
"I understand." Lu Xi said, "However, I don't want to cause any harm to him regarding the internal affairs of the Yuan family. Although I don't know who has sneaked in, I hope you can find them as soon as possible."
"You really dote on him." Ji Qiuhu chuckled.
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up." Lu Xi said.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
…
That night, Xiang Chenglin was called over by Lu Xi. Sitting on the sofa, Xiang Chenglin looked at the girl opposite him, thinking of her calmness when she encountered those monsters before, and her overwhelming strength.
"You...are also a demon?"
"No." Lu Xi said.
Xiang Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief.
"The gang that arrested you has been identified. They are a criminal gang that will stop at nothing to commit any crime. They are all subhuman."
Xiang Chenglin's heart tightened, "Is there any way to catch them?" He knew that he was being targeted. After the two terrible experiences before, he now didn't dare to go home. They would not let him go.
Lu Xi stared at him, "No."
Xiang Chenglin's face turned pale. What should he do? Even if he called the police, they would just think he was a lunatic.
He will die, and he will not be able to escape next time.
"Little girl, please help me." Although he didn't know her identity, she was the only one who could deal with those monsters now.
Lu did not refuse, but just looked at him silently.
"As long as you are willing to help me, I will agree to anything you ask. I don't want to die yet." Xiang Chenglin gritted his teeth. He was only in his twenties and his life had just begun. He had no idea why he was so unfortunate and had to encounter such a thing. He didn't want to die yet.
"Any request?"
"That's right." No request is more important than staying alive. "But if it's illegal, I won't do it."
"That's not a requirement." Lu Xi slid his fingertips across the edge of the table and said slowly, "It's your job."
"My job?" He didn't quite understand.
Xiang Chenglin really wanted to escape from the current scene because the little girl directly pulled the boy over and asked him to help look at her eyes.
"What's wrong with his eyes?" The boy's eyelashes drooped slightly, vaguely covering his breathtakingly beautiful eyes.
There's no denying that these eyes are beautiful.
"He can't see." Lu Xi said.
"What?" Xiang Chenglin couldn't believe it, because the young man in front of him didn't walk or do things like a blind person. If Lu Xi hadn't told him, he wouldn't have been able to tell at all.
"You really can't see?" He raised his hand and waved it in front of the boy, and then the boy's knife-like eyes swept over him.
Xiang Chenglin's fingers suddenly froze.
"Maybe you misunderstood. He can see it."
"No, he can't see."
Xiang Chenglin still didn't dare to believe it, but since Lu Xi insisted so much, maybe he really couldn't see, but his self-care ability was really amazing. "Have you taken him to the hospital for a check-up?"
"No."
“Why don’t you go check it out?”
"He's not human."
Xiang Chenglin: “???”
Xiang Chenglin's heart almost jumped out of his chest. No matter who he told that this beautiful boy was not human, everyone would think he was joking. However, looking at the little girl's expression, it didn't seem like she was joking.
"Then...what is he."
"Mermaid." Lu Xi said. Since they had decided to let him help with the medical treatment, there was no way to hide his identity anymore.
Lu Xi turned around: "Yuan Sen, change back."
Under Xiang Chenglin's horrified gaze, the boy's jet-black hair and eyes faded into a light silver-blue.
This time, Xiang Chenglin had to believe it.
Probably from today on, even if someone tells him that a beautiful woman with big breasts and a nice butt passing by on the street is a dinosaur, he will believe it.
"Tell me what's going on with him." Xiang Chenglin said stubbornly, "Also, I need to go home and get some equipment."
Three days later, Lu Xi received a call from Yuan Mu.
"You need me for something? Why don't you call me?"
When Lu Xi heard him say this, she remembered that she had visited him before and told his servants to contact her when he came back.
"It's just a small matter. I want to talk about it when you come back."
"What happened?"
Yuan Mu knew Lu Xi's character. Why would he contact him specifically for such a small matter, and even wait for him to come home to talk about it?
"Is it about that mermaid?"
He knew that Lu Xi's current life revolved around the mermaid, and he thought it was something related to him.
"Well..." Lu Xi said, "Are you back?"
"Not yet. I called home because I had something to tell you. Meiang told me you were here. You'll be away for a few more days this time." Yuan Mu said, "What's wrong? Is it something you can't explain clearly over the phone?"
"Not really." Lu Xi said.
In fact, the reason she was looking for Yuan Mu was very simple. Ji Qiuhu asked her to help find a doctor to treat the mermaid's eyes. She thought that Yuan Mu was also a doctor, so she wanted to ask him if he knew any better doctors.
"Did you know about his eyes?"
"Yeah, I know a little bit." Others might not know, but he had come into contact with the mermaid when the incident first happened.
"Is there any trustworthy doctor who can cure him?"
"It's difficult." Yuan Mu said.
Lu Xi also knew that it was difficult, otherwise, considering how much Ji Qiuhu valued him, it would be impossible that he had not been cured for so many years.
"But if you want, I'll find a way."
Lu Xi was really grateful to Yuan Mu. They were just ordinary friends at most, but he helped her everywhere.
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you. I don't know if I can help you." He seemed to see through her thoughts and said immediately.
"No, thank you anyway."
"If you really want to thank me, buy me the cake you gave me last time." Yuan Mu said, "I'll always think of it wherever I go."
"Okay." Lu Xi said seriously.
