Chapter 27
Nightfall.
In the quiet hotel suite, Lan Yexing, who was released by Qiao You, sat on the bed with his knees bent, using the medicine he had used before to disinfect the wound on his knee.
Qiao You was answering the phone in the study. He did not close the door, so Lan Yexing could hear it clearly.
He seemed to be talking to a classmate who had come to the meeting with him and was now going back to school.
Qiao You didn't say a word during the whole process, but just said coldly at the end: "I'll stay here for another day." Then he hung up the phone.
After coming out of the study, the blond young man glanced at Lan Yexing's swollen knees from a distance and said indifferently, "Go out for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and left the room without waiting for Lan Yexing to reply.
Lan Yexing stared blankly at the tall and straight back of the young man, and then he realized something belatedly.
He blinked and muttered to himself: "He must be angry..."
But he understood it very well. After all, no one would be in a good mood if they couldn't get in touch with their friends for two whole days out of worry.
Lan Yexing sighed softly: I should apologize properly when the other party comes back.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded: [Whoosh. ]
His newly unlocked data shows that saying pain like this can make you fly.
Its voice was still mechanical and indifferent, and it was particularly discordant when it said such words.
Lan Yexing understood the other person immediately. He bent his eyes gently and put his hand on the dial: "It's nothing. Take some medicine and have a good rest tonight, and the pain will go away."
System: [That's good. Congratulations to the host for unlocking another 6 points. I unlocked new mental power and we also gained 1 more point.]
Lan Yexing frowned slightly: "Why is it 6 points?"
He had been recording the number of tasks he had completed. After stopping the hypnotic psychic alpha from attacking Qiao You, his accumulated points should have been 5 points. How come there was 1 point more?
System: [Prince Leon also sent someone to attend this meeting. 】
Lan Yexing's expression was startled: "What?"
System: [Through investigation, Leon learned that the alpha would use the mental power of hypnosis to capture Qiao You, so he sent an omega over, intending to get rid of the alpha after the alpha hypnotized Qiao You and get the hypnotized Qiao You.]
[If the alpha fails to hypnotize Qiao You, the omega will attack Qiao You directly at the meeting. His mental power is [extraction and analysis]. When he is within 30cm of anyone, he can take the blood from that person. He can use the blood to deeply analyze the owner of the blood, including the type of person the owner likes. He plans to take Qiao You's blood directly when he passes by Qiao You at the meeting.]
Lan Yexing frowned even more tightly, with more confusion on his face: he had not received this task at all, let alone stopped it.
Lan Yexing's expression was inexplicably cold as he thought of something: In a sense, the ability of that omega is more dangerous than hypnosis. After all, hypnosis requires eye contact, while that omega only needs to brush past the target to take blood, which is simply impossible to guard against...
Most of those nobles were perverts who didn't care about human life, let alone human rights and privacy. He couldn't imagine how a guy with such perverted abilities would spy on and analyze Qiao You after getting his blood...
Fortunately, the system shows that the omega did not succeed, but what happened?
The system then answered: [Because the host had dealt with the hypnotist alpha in advance, the omega's plan to get the hypnotized Qiao You failed; and Qiao You did not actually attend the meeting in order to find the host. He did not sleep last night and searched the entire hotel. After not finding you at the meeting place today, he searched most of the places near the hotel.]
[That is to say, he was not at the meeting place most of the time, and the omega had no chance to approach him, so the host's mission was automatically completed.]
Lan Yexing's breathing stagnated, and a blank expression appeared on his face. He subconsciously grabbed the bed sheet. After a while, a soft and helpless smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He lowered his eyes and said softly: "It seems that I have to apologize more sincerely..."
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the soft feeling that was about to overflow into his heart, and asked gently: "Xiao Song, do you remember anything about yourself?"
The system's voice was once again confused: [I remember before, I broke my leg while riding a horse to herd sheep, and for some reason I had the sequelae of drowsiness. Later, someone came to my house and said he could save me... Today I remembered that after that, I seemed to be riding in a car, and the car drove for a very long time...]
[I still can’t remember what the person who took me away looked like, and I don’t know where I took the bus to. I can’t remember anything else either.]
There was a moment of silence.
Lan Yexing's eyes turned cold. He reached out and covered the watch face, saying gently: "It's okay, I will try my best to make you remember everything." One day, he will help Xiao Song find all of himself back.
The system's voice was a little happy at this time: [Also, host, we have unlocked new mental power. However, this mental power can only be used once. ]
System: [It is the spiritual power of [Creation]. The host can obtain any solid matter within 1kg, but it must be something that exists in this world. Gold, silver, jewelry, food, anything is fine.]
[Host, you must be very tired and unhappy on this trip, right? You can reward yourself. Is there anything you want? ]
Lan Yexing was stunned. He was about to say that he didn't want anything, but suddenly remembered that he still owed Qiao You an apology.
Perhaps he could use his mental power this time to create something and give it to Qiao You as an apology gift.
But what does Qiao You like?
The Corgi named Lizhi from Qiao You's family suddenly flashed through Lan Yexing's mind. Lan Yexing's eyes lit up when he recalled the old man's words. He bent his eyes and looked at the dial with an incredibly gentle expression. He said, "I want 500g of fresh lychees, and the other half of that should be a chip-type cassette that can be inserted into your card slot and contains your favorite music, games, movies and TV series."
system:【…】
That feeling that I don’t know how to describe came back again.
It really wants to say that there is really no need to think about it, after all, it is just data.
However, it inexplicably did not want to reject the host's overly gentle kindness.
So it said softly: "Okay."
Almost the next moment, the fresh lychees and a box of small chips that Lan Yexing ordered appeared on the bedside table, and the room was instantly filled with sweet fruity fragrance.
Lan Yexing looked at the things that the person he cared about liked, and a lively and happy smile finally appeared on his face.
He was about to get out of bed and put the plate of precious lychees into the refrigerator to keep them fresh, but the system suddenly issued a task: [Host, the omega with [Extraction and Analysis] is now downstairs in the hotel.]
Lan Yexing's smile froze on his face, and his pupils shrank: "What did you say?"
System: [The omega learned that Qiao You did not go back to school with his classmates today, so he also turned back. He will meet Qiao You at the elevator on the first floor of the hotel and extract his blood. Please prevent this strategy event from happening while protecting yourself. ]
With a light "bang" sound, Lan Yexing stepped onto the ground neatly.
He didn't even have time to change his shoes. He strode out of the room wearing only the hotel slippers. Qiao You left him a room card, and he got into the elevator smoothly.
As the elevator continued to go down, Lan Yexing's face became colder and colder. The passengers who were traveling with him looked at the disheveled appearance of the boy, who was wearing slippers with one trouser leg rolled up to reveal a large red and swollen wound, and thought that something had happened to him.
There were also people with bad intentions who wanted to strike up a conversation, but as soon as the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened, Lan Yexing was met directly by the handsome face of a blond young man with slightly shrunken pupils in surprise.
The tall, handsome blond young man in a suit quickly came to his senses. He glanced coldly at the middle-aged man who was about to pat Lan Yexing on the shoulder. The man's little finger was twisted 180 degrees not very obviously. He immediately showed a painful and confused expression on his face. He hurriedly left the elevator, and began to check where he was injured nervously and panickedly.
The few passengers in the elevator had already left. Qiao You smiled and looked at Lan Yexing, who was in a hurry to go somewhere without even having time to put down his trouser legs. His green eyes became even colder. He was about to pull the boy to him, but suddenly his pupils shrank:
Before he could react, Lan Yexing had already stood in front of him.
Then, he pushed an omega who was walking towards them from the lobby and almost brushed past them into the elevator. A weak electric current surged in the boy's right arm, and the omega who fell in the elevator screamed in pain: "Ah!!"
The omega, whose half of his body was numb from the pain and unable to move, fell to the ground, looking at Lan Yexing who was blocking Qiao You with a distorted expression, with taboo hatred in his pupils: "What did you do suddenly!"
Lan Yexing looked at him expressionlessly: "You know what you want to do."
As he spoke, he reached into the elevator and pressed the elevator door closing button neatly.
Omega looked at Lan Yexing with an extremely vicious expression. He was about to curl his fingers secretly, but he saw a tall, handsome and imposing blond young man standing behind the boy in a protective posture. His handsome face was hidden in the light and shadow, and he was looking down at him with a cold gaze as if he was looking at a dead person.
Omega was so frightened that his body froze. The elevator door had already closed and moved quickly upwards, leaving only Lan Yexing and Qiao You outside the door.
In the magnificent hotel lobby, Qiao You carried the newly bought medicines and ice packs, and smiled at Lan Yexing, who was relieved at this moment.
Lan Yexing blinked guiltily: "I..."
But how do you explain this?
Qiao You didn't ask any more questions. He just glanced coldly at the boy's knees, pressed the elevator button again, and took Lan Yexing back to the room.
…
After returning to the room, he pushed Lan Yexing to sit on the bed, then went to get a clean towel and a newly bought ice pack, and sat next to Lan Yexing.
Lan Yexing was stunned. Before he could react, he saw the young man's big hand grasping his right ankle. With a slight pull, his right leg, which was forced to be straightened, was placed on the young man's knee.
The young man pulled his ankle with great force, and Lan Yexing fell backwards. He simply lay on the bed.
Qiao You did not say anything, nor did he look at him. After a simple disinfection, he wrapped an ice pack in a towel, avoided the wound and covered the red and swollen area of Lan Yexing's knee with it, applying ice to the area where the nerves were strained.
Lan Yexing was lying there, hissing as he was stimulated by the ice pack. Because he had to apply medicine, his right trouser leg was rolled up to the base of his thigh. The skin under his thigh was directly against the young man's trousers, and the touch of the young man's slightly cool but strong big hand on his thigh was too clear.
Lan Yexing didn't care: because after the young man did this, the pain in his knee wound was really relieved a lot.
So he stretched out one arm to cover his eyebrows, relaxed his body and waited for Qiao You, who was more experienced in this kind of injury, to finish bandaging it.
At this time, Qiao You had finished applying the ice and was applying medicine to Lan Yexing's wound. Considering that he had to take a shower later, after applying the medicine, he did not bandage the wound but simply put a large Band-Aid on it.
One of his big hands was still holding the boy's beautiful and slender ankle. When that big hand and his muscular long arm moved together, it was like putting a pair of unopenable shackles on the boy lying on the bed.
And Lan Yexing trusted him so much, he just let him do what he wanted...
Lan Yexing, who was lying on the bed, smiled faintly: "Thank you, senior. I feel much more comfortable now."
Qiao You paused for a moment, but still let go of the ankle and moved Lan Yexing's leg away from his knees. He smiled at the boy lying on the bed with his eyebrows covered, and said coldly: "Junior brother, it is most comfortable not to get hurt."
Lan Yexing: "Although it was my fault when it got serious, the fundamental reason why I got injured was because of you, senior."
Qiao You's smile deepened: "I thought the root cause was that my junior brother violated the rules and climbed over the wall."
Lan Yexing: “…” I really can’t argue with that.
Lan Yexing took a deep breath and half sat up, hugging her knees and looking at him. He had a well-behaved and clean smile on his face: "Senior, when are we going back to school?"
Qiao You raised an eyebrow and looked at him, then said calmly, "Tomorrow."
Lan Yexing: "Why didn't my own medicine work before?" He is obviously also very good at treating wounds.
Qiao You: "Your nerve is strained."
Lan Yexing: "Does the senior often get injured like this when playing football?"
Qiao You: “Not often.”
Lan Yexing: "Is the pharmacy we just went to far away?"
Qiao You: “Not far.”
Lan Yexing: "Is the scenery on the road nice?"
Qiao You: “Very ordinary.”
In the warm yellow light, Lan Yexing sat on the bed with her knees hugged, her face buried in her arms, and then asked, "Senior, please don't be angry with me, and don't ask any more questions, okay?"
Qiao You: “Okay.”
In his arms, a smile sweeter than lychees slowly crept up the corners of Lan Yexing's lips.
