Chapter 25

After packing up, Shen Ruo turned on his optical brain to check the starship flight back to Cross Star.

It took him more than three hours to go to the Starship Port from here. After Shen Ruo looked around, he bought a ticket for four hours later. If he left now, he would be able to catch up.

After booking the tickets, Shen Ruo rubbed his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have the heart to look for a medical robot now.

Getting up from the bed, Shen Ruo pulled the suitcase. He planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Chu. After all, after living here for so long, she would have disturbed the people of the Chu family. The old lady was also an elder, so she had to say goodbye.

This kind of departure actually means running away, but Shen Ruo is really scared.

He couldn't remember those nightmares, not a single one of them, everything was forgotten, but the panic was always etched in the deepest part of his heart, so that when he first woke up, he didn't even dare to touch Chu Xiao, that was A conditioned reflex fear, even he himself didn't know why he was so afraid of Chu Xiao.

Pulling the suitcase, Shen Ruo planned to go out to find Mrs. Chu to say goodbye, but before he could go out, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Ruo's hand holding the lever suddenly clenched tightly.

"Master Shen, it's almost time for breakfast, you need to check first."

It was the butler's voice, and Shen Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't feel any hunger and just wanted to leave Emperor Star early.

So Shen Ruo opened the door, and there were housekeepers and medical robots outside.

The robot's blue eyes quickly scanned Shen Ruo's body, and the electronic machine sounded, saying that his injury was not serious, but he was a little weak now. It is recommended to rest in bed and take nutritional supplements.

When Shen Ruo heard the robot's words, he ignored it and just looked at the butler and said, "Butler, I want to go to the old lady and say goodbye to her, it's time for me to go back."

The housekeeper looked at Shen Ruo's pale complexion and red and swollen eyes with bloodshot eyes. The whole person's condition was too bad, and Shen Ruo's lips were all white and chapped to the point of peeling, but he didn't seem to notice. , or rather, don't care at all.

Glancing at the suitcase he was pulling, the housekeeper sighed in his heart. He knew last night that Shen Ruo fell down the stairs. In front of so many people, a thin-skinned little Asian would not want to face Yes also normal.

"Then, Young Master Shen, I'll take you to the old lady."

The housekeeper can't control this matter, and can only follow Shen Ruo's advice. If the old lady agrees, then she can only send Shen Ruo back.

The old lady was already up at this time. She lived on the second floor, and Chu Xiao, who was said to be the third floor where Duke Chu lived, lived on the fourth floor.

Shen Ruo saw the old lady outside the room on the second floor.

"Old Madam, I've been bothering me for too long at the Chu family." Shen Ruo said, but he looked so sick that anyone who saw him would be worried.

Like the housekeeper, Mrs. Chu also thought that Shen Ruo was too embarrassed to stay here because she fell. She looked at Shen Ruo worriedly and said that he could wait until his body recovered before leaving.

But Shen Ruo was very firm. He said that he had already booked today's tickets. After speaking, seeing the worried look on the kind old lady's face, he forced a smile and said he was fine.

Mrs. Chu was usually very talkative, but she saw that Shen Ruo insisted on leaving now. If she let Shen Ruo go like this, no matter who knew that Shen Ruo was injured, she would go back so sick, no matter what, They only thought that they were not well entertained, and they even thought that they were not good to Shen Ruo, which made Shen Ruo want to go home in such a hurry.

So Mrs. Chu was also anxious, and Shen Ruo's situation was too bad, if something happened along the way...

Thinking like this, the old lady doesn't want to let Shen Ruo go back. The face of the Chu family is small. If Shen Ruoshang leaves before she gets better, he will be on a starship for two days, a subhuman who is not very good. It is very likely that he will be even weaker. If an accident happens on the way, it will be too late to say more regrets.

Seeing that the old lady's attitude was firm, the housekeeper also persuaded Shen Ruo that when he recovered, he would definitely send someone to take him back. The most important thing now is to take care of his body first.

Seeing that Shen Ruo was silent, the housekeeper and the old lady looked at each other, a little helpless, but they could only persuade Shen Ruo patiently.

He even carefully persuaded him that face or something was not as important as his body, which meant that Shen Ruo should not pay too much attention to the loss of face when he fell.

But Shen Ruo didn't understand what they meant, and was even a little dazed. He escaped here with all his heart.

"In this way, Young Master Shen, it's just three days. After three days, I will send someone to take you back. If you leave today, when you get home, your family will be worried when they see you like this."

The butler pondered for a while and said, sure enough, making the family worried that this sentence would be effective, Shen Ruo obviously hesitated.

The old lady didn't stop the housekeeper, so it was fine. Seeing that Shen Ruo was a little shaken, she opened her mouth and responded to the housekeeper's words, saying that she would send him home in three days.

The pale Shen Ruo nodded. He smiled and said thank you to Mrs. Chu, but the sadness in the smile made the soft-hearted old man feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't know what happened to Shen Ruo.

Maybe it was because she was too sensitive. Madam Chu didn't know what Shen Ruo was going through when she was in a coma. She always thought that he was like this because of the fall.

If Shen Ruo fell at the Chu family, no matter what, they had to let Shen Ruo raise her body here before leaving.

This matter can only be determined helplessly, Shen Ruo is afraid that he will go back like this, which will make the second uncle and second aunt worry.

And he has already promised the old lady. He can see that the old lady cares about him. If he leaves without paying attention, it will make it difficult for the old lady to do it.

Walking downstairs with the housekeeper, Shen Ruo hesitated, but she still asked the housekeeper not to tell Chu Xiao that he was leaving.

Although Shen Ruo didn't say the reason, his pleading gaze made his face pale and disrespectful. The housekeeper had been familiar with him for the past month, but in the end he softened and agreed to Shen Ruo.

——

All the anxieties and worries are at work, making Shen Ruo almost unable to sort out his thoughts, only knowing that he is going, and because of the book that appeared in his mind inexplicably, and those that he had never seen, but appeared in his mind Man, let him have a kind of fear of unknown forces.

Shen Ruo stayed in the room alone, he lay sluggishly on the bed, his mind was very confused.

Every time he thinks of those, it makes him feel as if everyone's fate has already been written, just follow the script, and he is just the most inconspicuous cannon fodder.

Under that unknown power, he has no room for resistance at all, and will only follow the path he should take with time, and the final outcome has a high probability of death.

The threat of death shrouded Shen Ruo's mind, and it couldn't be dissipated for a long time.

He didn't know what he was doing, so he chose to stay in Emperor Star, and he went and hooked up with others.

Is it for wealth and enjoyment?

Shen Ruo thought about it, he almost blamed "self", why should he covet these.

Dazed, Shen Ruo didn't know that he had already started to have a fever, and he was burned to the point of thinking wildly, and even for a moment, Chu Xiao appeared in front of him.

The handsome face of the young man was gloomy and stern, looking straight at him like that, completely different from the gentleness and caring of the past.

Shen Ruo was so frightened that he almost didn't know how to breathe, his face was full of panic, and he couldn't even make a sound. He finally thought, he doesn't want wealth and enjoyment, he doesn't want it, so he won't die.

Consciousness fell into darkness, and Shen Ruo didn't wake up until the afternoon.

There was no Chu Xiao in the room, he was still lying on the bed, maybe he had a dream after falling asleep, and Chu Xiao did not appear in his room.

In just three days, Shen Ruo felt that life was like a year, and he had never looked forward to a faster time like this.

For the past three days, he has been hiding in the room, not even going out to eat, let alone seeing Chu Xiao.

It happened to be the reason why the medical robot suggested him to rest in bed, otherwise Shen Ruo would not be able to escape.

As for whether this would be disrespectful at the Chu family and make the old lady feel that he was not good, Shen Ruo couldn't care about it, and he didn't dare to see Chu Xiao at all.

Even though Chu Xiao always looked like a gentleman in front of him, Shen Ruo was still afraid, he was afraid that Chu Xiao would really become like the book.

The daily meals are either brought in by the housekeeper or other servants, and the nutritional recipes listed by the medical robot for him. The kitchen will follow the list and drink a pill every day, which will make him recover faster.

In the past three days, Shen Ruo has indeed recovered a lot, at least the fever has subsided, and the headache is no longer.

Finally, when it was time to leave, the suitcases that Shen Ruo had packed before were hardly messed up, and he had been waiting to leave.

Early in the morning, without even having breakfast, Shen Ruo woke up after four o'clock. Originally, the housekeeper had booked him a starship ticket at noon, and a driver would take him there, but Shen Ruo couldn't wait any longer, so he gave him Booked a morning starship ticket.

She quickly packed herself up, it was still dark outside, Shen Ruo quietly went downstairs with her suitcase.

Last evening, he asked the servant who brought him some flowers to bring him some flowers. After making a bouquet of flowers, he put them in the room.

The flower arrangement was taught to him by the old lady before. Before leaving, making a bunch of such flowers for the old lady was the only thing Shen Ruo could do.

The duke's mansion is a distance away, and there is a post. There are people guarding it. In order to prevent illegal people from trying to get close to the duke's mansion, when Shen Ruo first came here, he and Shen Ping were also questioned by the people here.

The guards knew Shen Ruo, although they didn't know why he left so early, but the detector set up in the hidden place detected that there was no suspicious objects on Shen Ruo's body, and they did not have the right to restrict the personal freedom of others, so they let Shen Ruo leave.

Walking quickly to the platform, Shen Ruo looked up at the dark sky in the early morning, released the handle of the suitcase, and let out a slow sigh of relief.

He checked, and the earliest public suspension train to arrive at the platform near the Duke's Mansion was at 4:57 in the morning. He glanced at the time, and it was almost there.

When he saw the car approaching, Shen Ruo suddenly became nervous. He looked back at the direction of the Duke's Mansion, except for a few lights, there was no other movement.

The entire mansion was sleeping quietly, it was too early, only the cook who prepared breakfast woke up one after another.

After Shen Ruo got into the car, his heart finally settled down. There were not many people in the morning, and he was the only one in the car he got up.

After sitting down, Shen Ruo realized that it was a little cold, it was too early, the temperature was a little low, he was not wearing a coat, and his arms were cold.

The whole journey went smoothly. After the sun came out, the sky was bright and Shen Ruo arrived at the port.

Even in the morning, the flow of people in Emperor Star's port was still very large, and Shen Ruo was queuing up to brush his brains.

When he stepped onto the starship connection board, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Ruo walked forward, as long as he went in and sat in his seat, the starship would take off in eight or nine minutes, and in two days, he would return to Cross Star.

But before he could finish walking on the connection board, an angry shout came from behind him.

"Shen Ruo!"

Turning back suddenly, Shen Ruo saw the familiar person in the distance, but the gloomy expression made him feel extremely unfamiliar and extremely frightened.

Trying to restrain his anger, Chu Xiao saw Shen Ruo turn back, but his eyes were full of panic, without any hesitation, he immediately ran into the starship.

Chu Xiao, who was extremely angry, calmed down, his face was cold, looking at Shen Ruo who was running away, he sneered slightly, and then his face sank again, his eyes were full of frost, he was completely ignorant of such an ignorant demi-human. patience.
