Chapter 1824 - 1804:
"It’s silver, not poisoned." Qhianqhian placed the plastic bowl on the table beside Uncle He’s hospital bed, not forgetting to take out a silver needle and rolling her eyes, "Don’t poison yourself and blame it on me!"
Saying that, she calmly placed the silver needle aside with an indifferent look, "I’ll leave it to you to verify the material," she said before coolly heading behind the screen, slapping Tie Xi awake, "Time to get up and eat, then it’s off to class!"
Tie Xi sat up in a daze, instantly catching the fragrant aroma which made him perk up.
Qhianqhian rolled her eyes; the look in his eyes really resembled a hungry wolf spotting fresh, blood-drenched meat!
"If you can’t finish, bring it back for your classmates, don’t stuff yourself like that..." He Wenyu sighed as he looked at Tie Xi’s round belly.
Tie Xi quickly shook his head, "No, no..."
As for whether he wouldn’t stuff himself or wouldn’t share with others, no one knew for sure.
Qhianqhian casually gave He Wenyu a few reminders before calmly leaving, while Uncle He lay on the hospital bed as if he had never opened his eyes.
It wasn’t until both of them left that Uncle He opened his eyes, looking at the porridge and silver needle beside him. After a long silence, he picked them up.
If Qhianqhian wanted to harm him, she could have done it last night. Although he couldn’t wake up, he could still sense what was happening around him. Like the neighboring bed, full of laughter from people coming and going, while his side had visitors but was shrouded in silence.
He knew how severely injured he was, aware he couldn’t wake up. He even felt someone touching his head, but no matter what, he couldn’t open his eyes.
Last night, Luo Shiqi from the Yellow Class came, and he was on high alert. But the other person didn’t try to kill him; rather, he did something to his head, making him feel like he was gradually waking up.
Though he woke up, he was frightened by the blood that had flowed from his body. He also felt the needle on his forehead, afraid to move recklessly, knowing that it was the reason he woke up. He didn’t want to accidentally return to that state, so he chose to stay still and cleaned up the blood stains on his face and pillow, or else it would look... frightening.
"It’s delicious. If only I could marry Shiliu..." Tie Xi sighed while looking at the porridge in front of him, though he knew it was impossible.
Even for Di Jun, she wasn’t interested.
Qhianqhian, carrying another box of porridge made by He Wenyu, leisurely said to He Wenyu, "Shall I go now?"
"Yeah, go on. The teacher said he’s busy, we’ll leave in a few days. Meanwhile, I’ll visit Fourth Sister-in-Law, lest Di Jun freeload food every day," He Wenyu sighed. With the old man not around, the leftovers piled up, and it’s quite a dilemma. Let’s pack some for Di Jun and Long Tu.
"Okay, I’m off with Mo to calm the kids," Qhianqhian smiled, nodded at He Wenyu, and turned to leave.
After all, leaving Mo to handle the kids alone isn’t right; he’s not the real dad, he’d truly go crazy.
When Mo saw Qhianqhian, he was slightly surprised, "Didn’t you say you could come back later?"
"Yeah, but I was worried you couldn’t handle it alone. That little monster is quite a handful..." Glancing at the soundly sleeping Lin Nianan, she naturally handed what she was holding to Mo, "Here, it’s still hot, have some."
Mo looked at the item in his hand, then chuckled, "Is this what you call telepathy?"
"Did you make porridge too?" Qhianqhian was stunned.
"Yes, I realized Xiao Nianan is teething," he said with a bitter laugh, "Maybe it’s because of the medicinal bath, now he drinks rice broth."
"...Teething???" Qhianqhian was dumbfounded; as far as she knew... teething was something babies should experience after six months, right?
"You didn’t add anything to his formula, did you?" Qhianqhian appeared suspicious, pondering how this could be the case for a two-month-old infant...
"...In his water, there’s diluted powder from a body-strengthening elixir. You know his condition, he’s been drinking it all along."
Technically, as long as it’s not formula, any water he drank was like this, aimed at helping him grow stronger gradually.
"...Does that thing have side effects?" Accelerated growth should count as a side effect, right? After all... kids should grow up gradually.
"The most it does is... supplement calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and vitamins," Mo shrugged helplessly.
Though he’s been to the modern world and studied their medicines, he always found their side effects too frightening, a concept almost absent in their world unless it’s those elixirs that forcibly boost strength temporarily, but even those have usage limitations. Basically, every level of strength allows only one consumption opportunity, making breakthroughs to the next level difficult.
"...Are you kidding me?" Qhianqhian gaped at Mo.
But it was obvious that Mo wasn’t joking.
"Forget it... let’s keep observing, as long as he doesn’t grow to a three-year-old size in a year." Two months equaling half a year... doesn’t that mean in one year’s time, he’ll be three?
That would be too exaggerated, if taken out, even Brother Jiayou wouldn’t believe it...
"It shouldn’t be like that, right?" Mo was also taken aback.
Qhianqhian sighed, "By the way, during this month’s exam, I encountered someone quite intriguing, named Uncle He. He is..."
"Supportive, I guess," Mo nodded knowingly, "I know him, Bai Yinshu’s class has someone too, named... River God."
Qhianqhian: "..." This family, probably has a feud with rivers?
"Limiting the opponent’s support, group control, plus their own attribute enhancement. If River God supports you, your Ice Stab effect should have a two hundred percent increase." Mo calmly explained, "Of course, your year’s representative is still young, the boost... is at most five percent at most."
"Is the difference that big?" Qhianqhian was dumbfounded.
"Uh... if River God gives attribute boosts to someone of the same level and attribute, it’s only a ten percent increase anyway, but because you’re too weak, the boost is relatively high," Mo quickly explained.
Qhianqhian: "..." Because you’re, too weak... too weak... weak... weak...
"Actually, there are many categories in the support branch too, like your class... I forgot the name, healing support, or absolute healing support. With them, there won’t be any accidents. But similarly, this kind of ability belongs to only one type of attribute." That particular attribute only belongs to one place.
Mo didn’t elaborate on this last sentence.
Qhianqhian was still young. Knowing too much isn’t always beneficial.
