6. Night 6: Doctor's Visit
The delicious meal made Assente forget all the unpleasantness of the day, and he slept well that night.
After waking up, Asent sat on the bed for a long time. Even when Lu Xi knocked on the door and came in, he was not fully awake.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"...Yeah." He responded hoarsely.
Lu Xi came over and smoothed his messy hair. The silver-blue hair was very soft, like silk to the touch. While helping him tidy up his hair, she secretly rubbed it a few times.
Lu Xi pushed Arsenal into the bathroom. Even the cubs of monsters need to be taught to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
The washbasin in the mermaid's room is specially customized for his height, so it can be used even when he is in a wheelchair.
"What classes are you having today?" he asked.
"I don't have classes today. I have to go out later."
Hearing that he was going out again, his body stiffened slightly.
Arsente was almost tied up in the car by Lu Xi, with his hands tied behind his back and his fish tail, which was flapping around, also pressed down. The little mermaid's eyes were red with anger, but he had no strength to resist.
"Why do you want to go out?" He gritted his teeth.
He had rebelled before Lu Xi could even explain the reason, and now that he couldn't escape, he calmed down and asked her the reason.
"Take you to see a doctor." Lu Xi looked into his eyes, "Check your body and find out the reason why the awakening failed."
Hearing this, Asent was stunned.
What other reasons could there be for the awakening failure? It's just that he doesn't have the talent. He really wants to become stronger, but this incident makes him very frustrated. He even failed to awaken his talent, so how can he take revenge?
The mermaid curled up.
Lu Xi didn't think so. Among the cubs that failed to awaken in the past, there was no selection of cubs with SSS-level talents.
That’s right, it’s an SSS-level talent.
She had been lucky enough to draw this cub before, which had made some of the tribesmen jealous, but she had not expected this situation to happen.
She didn't believe that he really couldn't awaken.
Arsente was shrouded in a depressed mood. After arriving at the hospital, Lu Xi took him directly to the department where he had an appointment.
"You're finally here." A man in a white coat and black-framed glasses walked over. "Long time no see, cute little Xixi."
"I am already the housekeeper, please call me Miss Lu Xi."
"Isn't that too unfamiliar of a name?"
"Not at all." She took a half step back unnoticed, avoiding his warm embrace and pushing the little mermaid in front of her to block him.
"He is your patient this time, Arsenal."
"Oh?" Yuan Mu's eyes slowly moved downwards, he pushed up his glasses, and narrowed his pupils slightly, "What a cute child."
When Yuan Mu looked at Asent, Asent was also looking at him. The aura of the man told him that he was also a demon and very powerful. Until he saw the medical certificate on the other party's chest, his silver-blue eyes shrank violently.
Yuan Mu, it turned out to be Yuan family.
The Yuan family is the disguise of the demon clan in the human world, but not all demon clans are called "Yuan clan". It is well known that the Lu family will train heirs, but there is only one position of the leader of the demon clan. Those outstanding demon clans will be given the surname "Yuan" even if they cannot become the head of the family.
That is the glory that countless demons dream of.
"Can you come in and tell me about his situation?" Yuan Mu walked up to Arsenal and said, "Good boy, wait outside for a moment."
Yuan Mu signaled the nurse to look after the cub and opened the door of the clinic.
Arsente pursed his lips and looked at Lu Xi.
"I'll be back soon." She touched his head.
"If I remember correctly, this seems to be a cub with SSS-level talent. Is there something wrong with him?" Yuan Mu leaned against the desk and said that he didn't know how Lu Xi was doing recently, but he knew what the situations of the cubs she had adopted were.
"He failed to awaken his talent." Lu Xi said.
"What?" Yuan Mu thought he had misheard and spread his hands. "Did I hear it wrong? Miss Lu Xi really loves to joke."
Lu Xi stared at him with a serious expression.
"Did you follow the wrong procedure?" Yuan Mu stopped laughing. He knew that Lu Xi was not someone who would joke around easily.
"No." It felt strange because there was nothing.
Yuan Mu frowned. This was a cub that was tested to have SSS-level talent. In his understanding, it was impossible for a cub with talent higher than A-level to fail in awakening, unless the program was not done correctly.
"So, you want to examine him?"
Lu Xi nodded, "I want to know the reason."
"How long have you been aware of this?"
"One month." She said calmly.
"Hiss..." Yuan Mu was shocked, "Does the higher-ups know?"
And her expression had already told him the answer.
"You are truly courageous. If you are soft-hearted and don't deal with the cub that failed to awaken, you will be punished if you are discovered."
"His situation is special, so there's a buffer period." Lu Xi said. She was referring to the fact that he arrived early and that something happened in the family. For cubs with special situations, she was given a buffer period.
Yuan Mu looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, shaking as if it was going to tear the door of the clinic down, mixed with the nurse's voice.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
"What happened?" Yuan Mu opened the door of the clinic.
Before he could finish his words, the mermaid came in pushing a wheelchair. When he saw the woman inside, his expression softened a little.
"I don't know either. He suddenly became angry and wanted to rush in." The nurse was a sheep demon. She was scared just now.
He glanced at Arsenal and said, "Go ahead and do your work."
"What's wrong?" Lu Xi looked down at him.
She thought something had happened to him, but strangely, the little mermaid who broke in didn't say anything, just stared at her.
"I thought... you disappeared again..."
After a long while, he finally spoke.
Assente watched Lu Xi walk into the clinic. The cold door blocked her out. The shadow of yesterday emerged in his mind. At that time, he just walked through a door and was sent to another place.
Will Miss Lu Xi also be sent to another place? Will he never find her again? The intense fear overwhelmed him.
The noisy atmosphere of the hospital, mixed with the smell of disinfectant, suffocated him, and no one familiar was around.
Finally, he couldn't help but bang on the door.
Lu Xi put her hand on the little mermaid's shoulder and felt his little body trembling slightly and his face was very pale.
The little mermaid was so fierce in the villa, but why was she so timid outside? Lu Xi couldn't leave her for even a second.
Or maybe the shadow cast by yesterday was too great for him.
Lu Xi placed her palm on the little mermaid's head and gently rubbed his hair to soothe him. After a while, the little mermaid calmed down.
"Can you give him a full body checkup?"
"Of course." Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows.
Lu Xi accompanied him throughout the rest of the process. Even if he couldn't get in, he would watch him from the window.
"Did you find any problem?"
After all the examinations were completed, Lu Xi walked to Yuan Mu and looked at the examination results displayed on his computer.
"No, there's nothing wrong." All the examinations showed that the little mermaid was healthy and nothing could be seen.
Lu Xi frowned, wondering if it was really all in vain.
"Lu Xi, wait."
When she said goodbye to Yuan Mu with the medical report and pushed the little mermaid out of the clinic, Yuan Mu followed her out. He glanced at the little mermaid, who was already sleepy from so many tests, and whispered, "If you still don't give up, I suggest you take him to the psychiatric department."
"Psychiatry..." Lu Xi was a little surprised.
"There's nothing wrong with his body. From what you've said about his people, I suspect his failure to awaken is a psychological disorder."
"Okay, I'll think about it," she said seriously.
After saying that, she wanted to continue pushing Arsenal towards the elevator, but suddenly she turned around and saw Yuan Mu still standing there.
"Dr. Yuan Mu, thank you today."
The man had a smile on his face and gestured to her that the elevator was coming and she should get in quickly. He murmured softly only after her figure disappeared.
"I already told you, call me Mu..."
…
Two days later, Lu Xi made an appointment with a psychiatrist.
Because this is a hospital for young children, there are relatively fewer patients in the psychiatric department, and Lu Xi made an appointment quickly.
After breakfast, she set off with Asent.
Compared to last time, he was not as resistant this time. Perhaps he had adapted to it and did not make too much noise along the way.
Lu Xi pushed Arsenal into the hospital. Before they reached the elevator, several medical staff suddenly ran over to guard the elevator. It turned out that another elevator was out of order. A cub had been in a serious traffic accident and would be sent there in five minutes. Now it had to be vacated for rescue.
Many parents hold their children's hands when walking up the stairs, but Asent has difficulty moving. Lu Xi originally wanted to wait a while before going up, but there was a traffic jam on the road just now and the consultation time was about to start.
She thought about it and picked up the little mermaid.
"Miss Lu Xi..." he exclaimed.
"Hold me tight," she said.
Fearing of falling, the little mermaid hugged Lu Xi's neck tightly. When she spoke, he could feel the vibration of her chest, and the scent he had smelled in the car before once again entered his nose.
The human body was warm, with a temperature that he didn't have. He looked up at her face and could see some tiny blood vessels with hot blood flowing in them.
He could feel her vibrant vitality...
She and he are of completely different races.
The difference between the demon clan's hospital and ordinary hospitals is that the creatures coming and going in the corridors are all strange-looking creatures, and some low-level demons cannot hide their demon characteristics throughout their lives.
Therefore, they only live in the territory of the demon clan. To outsiders, these places are the private territories of the rich. The "Yuan family" has built a fortress for the demon clan that outsiders cannot set foot in.
No one knew that in some corners of the world lived such a group of magical creatures who were so different from humans.
Lu Xi's petite body was so tiny among these monsters that it seemed as if she would be trampled to death if she wasn't careful.
Here, it seems that she is the monster.
