Chapter 23

Shen Ruo was originally sitting on the sofa in the reception room on the first floor, but Chu Xiao brought him here and then left.

Knowing that he was going to see relatives, Shen Ruo sat here drinking by himself. The fruit wine was sweet and not too strong.

But there were too many guests, and some people came in one after another in the reception room. This was originally a place to receive guests, so it was normal for them to come in.

Shen Ruo stayed for a while, two or three demi-humans sitting together looked at him frequently, Shen Ruo noticed their gaze, not only them, but also other demi-human women, it was a very strange look.

He was a little uncomfortable. When he looked over, those people looked back, as if nothing had happened, which made Shen Ruo feel even more strange.

The wine in the wine glass was also finished, and Shen Ruo got up and left.

The reception room is airtight and gorgeous, but there are no windows. He drank wine, and the fruit wine is still wine if it has no degree, so he feels a little hot.

Although there is a wall air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature, Shen Ruo is used to staying in a bright and bright country farm, so she finds this kind of airtight room a bit stuffy.

He remembered that there was a flower room on the second floor, which was transparent from north to south. When it was arranged here yesterday, Chu Xiao took him to see it, so Shen Ruo knew that there was air there.

So Shen Ruo went to the second floor, but there were already people in the flower room, and there was not much space inside, so he had to go elsewhere.

There was no one on the terrace, so Shen Ruo went over to blow the air.

The temperature is a little higher today. After all, in summer, the wind seems to be hot and dry.

Shen Ruo's mind was full of things about Chu Xiao. When Chu Xiao was there, he was fine. He didn't dare to think about anything, but now that he was alone, he couldn't help thinking about whether he should tell Chu Xiao.

With the wind blowing, there were all kinds of chatter and laughter from both the first and second floors, but Shen Ruo still couldn't calm down.

The sun had already set, the sky darkened, and twinkling stars began to appear in the distance. Shen Ruo remembered the fireworks that night and Chu Xiao standing under the starlight.

Maybe it was drinking, maybe it was the heat of summer, which made Shen Ruo want to solve the problem that had been tangled for several days as soon as possible, so that he could calm down, otherwise he would always be so restless that he would not be able to stay anywhere. live.

He has heard people say that you can't always rely on waiting or relying on others for your relationship, you must learn to fight for yourself.

Now that Chu Xiao has no girlfriend or boyfriend and is still single, he can go for it.

Shen Ruo thought about it, but he couldn't help being a little nervous. He even took a few steps back and forth in the small space on the terrace.

Taking a long breath, Shen Ruo calmed herself down, but if she really went to Chu Xiao, she wanted to say something to him.

He became restless again, and he didn't know what to do.

Shen Ruo frowned, her expression looked a little painful, then said, like him?

Thinking of this, Shen Ruo's heart beat faster, and his ears began to heat up. He even felt that his breathing was hot.

When Shen Ruo was ready, relying on that little bit of alcohol on his head, he finally mustered up the courage to confess.

Even if he was rejected, he had fought for it, and he would be able to leave Emperor Star at that time.

Planning for the worst, Shen Ruo almost walked out from the terrace with both hands and feet. Fortunately, she found it in time and adjusted it.

Shen Ruo, who was about to confess, only saw the stairs he was going to go down, and didn't pay attention to the gazes of the people around him, because he was too nervous and couldn't separate his mind to pay attention to others.

When Shen Ruo was about to go down the steps, he was suddenly hit by an inexplicable force at the bend of his leg. He was completely defenseless, and his feet did not stabilize.

It was an extremely embarrassed posture. At the moment of the fall, Shen Ruo was facing down, and his forehead hit the edge of the steps. He himself heard a bang, but then, no sound came out. Shen Ruo immediately rolled down.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xiao's pupils shrank, and he immediately strode forward, leaping up the steps with his long legs, stopping Shen Ruo who had just rolled down a few floors, and before Shen Ruo could react, he bent down and hugged him directly. rise.

A medical robot flew over immediately, and a disc-shaped therapeutic apparatus flew out from its chest.

When Chu Xiao carried Shen Ruo up to the second floor in two or three steps, the disc therapy device flew over Shen Ruo's head, and the four nozzles sprayed the mist, which quickly stopped the blood from the wound on Shen Ruo's forehead. .

Shen Ruo was completely stunned. He heard the exclamations just now, but it was like cotton was blocked in his ears, so he couldn't hear them clearly.

After his body was vacated, he realized that he was being held in his arms, and the color in front of him was blood red, and the blood flowed down from his forehead, almost covering his eyes.

When Chu Xiao stopped Shen Ruo, he saw a deep wound on his forehead, hitting the edge of the steps.

He kicked the door of the reception room on the second floor with one kick, and even the most powerful person could kick the door open. Chu Xiao said nothing with a cold face, and the person sitting on the sofa immediately gave up his seat.

After putting Shen Ruo on the sofa, Chu Xiao saw that the wound on his forehead was healing quickly under the treatment of the medicinal mist, but Shen Ruo fainted.

——

Her mind was dizzy, even if she fainted, Shen Ruo felt extremely uncomfortable.

His brows were furrowed, a palpitation spread, and he had many, many nightmares, all of which were disturbing.

His mind seemed to be stuffed with a lot of things that he never knew before. There was a thick book that was manipulated by invisible hands, quickly turning pages in his mind.

The body involuntarily hovered above the book, and Shen Ruo saw a lot of words, with his name and Chu Xiao in it, shocking.

The emotions that had been suppressed to the extreme broke out suddenly, Shen Ruo suddenly opened his eyes, he gasped for breath, like waking up from a nightmare.

"Wake up, wake up."

There was a sound in my ear, saying something about waking up.

Shen Ruo only felt that the light above made his eyes uncomfortable, and tears flowed down, he subconsciously reached out to cover his eyes.

"How do you feel now?"

A familiar voice came from the side, and Shen Ruo subconsciously turned to look.

It was Chu Xiao.

But Shen Ruo stood there as if she didn't know him.

He also bleeds a lot because he hit his head, and his face looks pale and pale now. He even looked at Chu Xiao with that dumb expression, and his tears kept streaming down. People around him felt that something was wrong with him.

Shen Ruo couldn't remember any of those nightmares, as if he had never done it before, but the depression and darkness, as well as the content of the book that appeared in his mind, were engraved in his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while. What was written in the book, I only remember him and Chu Xiao.

When Shen Ruo found herself lying there, she struggled to get up. Chu Xiao, who was kneeling on the side of the sofa, frowned slightly, trying to stop him, but as soon as he reached out and touched Shen Ruo, he was suddenly thrown away.

Like avoiding poisonous snakes and beasts, the moment Shen Ruo was touched by Chu Xiao, he was so frightened that he felt a little hard to breathe, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he reacted immediately.

Chu Xiao's outstretched hand froze there.

After Shen Ruo sat up, his face was pale and disgusting. He hugged his knees and shrank there, the blood on his forehead hadn't been wiped clean. He looked trembling and didn't even dare to look at Chu Xiao.

The people around didn't know what was going on, but they didn't say a word when they saw Chu Xiao's obviously sinking face.

Shen Ruo fell and bumped his head again. Chu Xiao looked at him, and after slowly retracting it, he suppressed the inexplicable irritability in his heart.

But then, Chu Xiao stretched out his hand again and said as patiently as possible: "You are injured, I will take you back to your room to rest."

It's the magnetic tone I'm used to hearing. It's the first time for Chu Xiao to coax a demi-human like this. Some people who have known him since childhood are full of surprises, even though I heard that Chu Xiao was following a freshman two days ago. The Asian person, pretending to be a gentleman, didn't expect it to be true.

In fact, people who see Chu Xiao today, whether they are relatives or friends who come here, see him dressed in a formal dress, and the hair on his forehead that is usually pulled back is also let down, that kind of unruly and lazy feeling It has decreased a lot, especially Chu Xiao still has a decent smile on his face, and the people who come here are shocked.

But Chu Xiao didn't give anyone a chance to express such surprise in front of him and Shen Ruo. He directly took Shen Ruo into the reception room, and quickly got away from his relatives to find Shen Ruo.

And when he brought Shen Ruo to the guest building, he quietly put a nano thermal sensor on Shen Ruo.

It is a very small patch, and he just put it on Shen Ruo's clothes. The thermal sensor changes according to the surrounding environment. It is the same color as Shen Ruo's clothes. Find.

Chu Xiao modified the program of the thermal sensor. As long as the thermal sensor detected someone approaching a distance of one meter from Shen Ruo's body, the thermal sensor would immediately alarm. Of course, only his optical brain could receive this message.

After he left Shen Ruo briefly, the alarm did not sound, so Chu Xiao was not in a hurry just now, but Shen Ruo fell down.

After Chu Xiao finished speaking, Shen Ruo didn't move, and still shrank into a ball. The tears on his face and the blood on his forehead made him look very bad, his face was not very good, and even a little sluggish, he looked at Chu Xiao, Obviously someone he knows, but now, he is not sure.

The influx of too much information made Shen Ruo's brain swell and hurt, and the wound on his forehead also hurt. He began to drowsy again, his eyes turned black, his body swayed, and he was about to fall to the side. But he himself did not know.

Chu Xiao's eyes were quick, and he immediately got up and bent over to support Shen Ruo.

Who would have guessed that with such a touch, Shen Ruo suddenly collapsed.

"Don't touch me!"

His face was covered with tears, mixed with some blood flowing from his forehead, and his voice was hoarse. Although he was screaming in a crash, Shen Ruo's voice was not loud, and he cried and wanted to wave Chu Xiao's hand away.

There was no more patience, Shen Ruo's face became paler and paler, and her condition was too bad. Chu Xiao's face was gloomy, but she still picked up people. There are too many people here, and Shen Ruo needs a quiet environment.

Shen Ruo, who was struggling, was shaking all over and tears kept streaming down, but he was very weak now.

Not only because of the bruise, but also because of his brain that was about to split, Chu Xiao hugged Shen Ruo, and before taking a few steps, Shen Ruo fainted again.

The disc therapy device detected that Shen Ruo fainted just because of weakness, and reported it with a mechanical sound. Chu Xiao knew that he was okay for the time being, so he carried him all the way back to the main building.
