7. Night 7: Eat?
There is almost no one on the psychiatric floor, as there are relatively few cubs with mental problems. After all, the demon race is not as harsh on their children as humans, and most of the time they are allowed to develop freely, except for those outstanding cubs who are selected for intensive training before the age of eight.
Assente's doctor was a wolf demon. After asking the mermaid to cooperate with him in some tests, he came to some conclusions.
"He does have a major psychological barrier."
Doctor Wolf is Yuan Mu's friend. He promised Yuan Mu not to tell anyone else about the mermaid's failure to awaken.
“If we can’t overcome it, we’re in trouble.”
Lu Xi certainly knew that there would be trouble if Asent still could not awaken successfully in the next period of time.
By then, she might not be able to keep him.
"However, I suggest you not to put pressure on him. I'm afraid his condition will get worse if you put pressure on him at this time." Doctor Wolf glanced at the little mermaid who was reading a book a few meters away and instructed Lu Xi.
Because Lu Xi couldn't leave Assente's sight, Dr. Wolf only let him read a book nearby while he explained the situation to Lu Xi.
"Then what should I do?" She frowned.
"He's desperate to become stronger, and he's afraid he can't do it, which is why he's in this situation," Doctor Wolf said seriously. "You can distract him. Make him feel like it's okay if he doesn't become stronger, and that it's okay to be the way he is now. Let him relax for now."
"Of course, this is only temporary." Doctor Wolf added. After all, the cub is to be trained to become the leader of the demon clan. How can he be allowed to stay like this? A cub who doesn't want to become stronger is not a good heir.
What he meant was that even if the little mermaid wanted to become stronger, he had to reassure him not to be hasty and let him relax for the time being.
At least, don't be too impatient.
The little mermaid's problem is not very serious, at least not to the point where he needs to take medicine. The bad thing is that it takes time. He may come to his senses after some guidance, or he may never be able to get over it.
Lu Xi carried the little mermaid downstairs and put him back in the wheelchair. When she was about to go back, a person appeared in front of her.
"Hey, isn't this Lu Xi?"
Standing in front of Lu Xi was a woman with long wavy hair. She was also wearing a black dress and holding a child.
"Why, you brought your kid to see the doctor too?"
She glanced at the mermaid in the wheelchair and said, "Why, this cub hasn't awakened yet? Your progress is too slow. An amateur is really an amateur. You don't know anything but you still try to be brave."
"Thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary."
"You..." Lu Yuan gritted her teeth and snorted, "Hmph, don't think you are so capable. It will be bad if you mislead the young people."
She looked at the little mermaid with some reluctance. When Lu Xi drew this little mermaid, she felt upset for a long time.
Such a good kid is really a bargain for her.
"Miss Lu Yuan, you should take your cub to see a doctor. I don't think he's in good condition." Lu Xi looked at the cub in Lu Yuan's hand. He lowered his head and coughed continuously. It looked quite serious.
Lu Yuan walked away with a bad look on her face, but after walking for a while, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Xi, her eyes rolling around.
Housekeepers like them have their own family doctors on call. Generally, those who need to go to the hospital are suffering from serious illnesses. For example, her cub has had a high fever for several days and seems to have developed pneumonia. The doctor recommends taking it to the hospital for examination. What about Lu Xi's cub?
What illness brought him to the hospital?
Lu Xi pushed Arsenal out of the hospital. The car to pick them up had not arrived yet, so she pushed him slowly along the side of the road.
"What is that?" Asent pointed to a place not far away.
Lu Xi looked up and saw a very distinctive ice cream truck. Several cubs and adults were buying ice cream.
"Ice cream, do you want some?"
The little mermaid's eyes were full of confusion. What is ice cream?
Unlike the cubs on land, the little mermaids who have always lived in the sea know more limited things than these cubs.
Lu Xi pushed him over and bought one for him.
The ice cream was wrapped in an icy outer layer. Arsenal imitated the cub he had just seen and licked it with his tongue. The cold and sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue all the way to his stomach.
tasty……
"Miss Lu Xi, don't you want to eat?" When he saw her give him the money, he pushed him to continue walking without buying one for herself.
"I don't eat." She smiled.
Assente lowered his head and ate the ice cream silently. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a cub not far away, holding an ice cream and looking up. His mother smiled and shook her head. He insisted on putting the ice cream to her mouth. Finally, the woman lowered her head and took a bite of the ice cream.
Assente bit his lip lightly, looked up at the woman who was pushing him, and suddenly handed the ice cream in his hand to her.
"Let me give you a bite..." he said awkwardly.
Lu Xi was stunned, still shaking his head slowly, "I don't want to eat."
"Eat when I tell you to." He seemed angry.
Lu Xi had no choice but to lower her head and take a small bite, which barely touched her lips, and she tasted a hint of sweet and coolness.
"Thank you, it's delicious."
It was a good thing that the cub was showing goodwill to her. Lu Xi smiled and thanked him, and used her fingers to help him scrape the ice cream off his nose. "Hurry up and eat it, otherwise it will melt and dirty your hands."
Arsenal dodged her fingers slightly, and even though she did this often, he couldn't help blushing.
On the way back in the car, the little mermaid leaned against the car and looked at Lu Xi quietly. He found that he was staring at him, and Lu Xi also looked at him.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Arsente lowered his eyes and whispered after a long time: "Can I really wake up again..." Lu Xi brought him out to see a doctor specially. He really hoped that it would be effective, but he didn't have any confidence at all.
"I will." She looked into his eyes.
The woman's gaze was so trusting that it seemed as if a warm power was injected into Arsenal's heart. He felt that there was an extra power in his body, as if he could really awaken successfully.
"The doctor said you just need to relax."
"Relax..." Assente was at a loss. He didn't know how to relax. All his people were dead. How could he relax?
He needs to become stronger and can't wait to become stronger.
This urgent thought was like an iron chain shackled his heart. He wanted to relax first as she said, but he didn't know how to do it. He hated himself for being like this.
He doesn't know how to relax.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Lu Xi rubbed his head and let him lean on her shoulder. Asent closed his eyes gently and felt the warmth from her body.
Humans are indeed strange creatures. Why can she talk about such a difficult thing so calmly?
What if he can't do it? Why trust him?
Why can she always say these words so easily?
…
The car drove out of the cub hospital area, entered the human area, and then from the human area into the villa area.
It wasn't long before they returned home.
Lu Xi opened the folding wheelchair and carried Arsenal out of the car. She was about to push him in, but the maid ran over.
"Ms. Lu Xi, Ju Miao is in a bad mood again."
Lu Xi frowned. The little orange cat had a typical spoiled temper. She was still very restless after so many days. Except for Lu Xi, all the other maids had been teased by her.
"I understand. I'll be right there."
Lu Xi handed the little mermaid to the maid and turned to leave.
Assente looked at Lu Xi's back as she left, biting his lower lip tightly. Even though Lu Xi had never mentioned the other cubs in front of him, it did not prevent him from knowing their existence. His father and mother had told him some rules, and there was also the smell on her body.
He knew that there should be four more cubs here.
Arsenal was pushed into the room by the maid and could vaguely hear their conversation through the door. Those words made his heart ache.
"Ju Miao is too willful. Only Miss Lu Xi can control her. Last time I brought her food, she scratched me."
"I wonder how Miss Lu Xi will punish her this time."
"How else can I punish her? She's so talented. She's an S-rank cub. Miss Lu Xi loves her so much."
"That's right, she is Miss Lu Xi's hope."
"Of course, after all, the other cubs..."
The voices gradually faded away, and no one knew that in the dim room, the little mermaid curled up in pain, holding her heart.
He didn't know why he suddenly had difficulty breathing. He had never felt this way before, and his heart was filled with intense panic.
What if even Miss Lu Xi doesn't want him anymore?
So what should he do...
