"Oh? What's going on?" Zhao Pingsheng became interested.
The corners of Chen Luoxia's mouth hooked up a smile: "That little girl is quite vigilant, she refuses to answer anything I ask her, she is also skeptical when I show my work card, and she didn't believe my identity until I called the dean over, it's really interesting."
Zhao Pingsheng listened to it on the side, this girl is inevitably too willful, and doing a small investigation is so exciting.
Well, thinking of her identity, it makes sense to do so. Zhao Pingsheng muttered in his heart.
"And guess what?" Chen Luoxia's smile was even bigger: "I sat down in front of her, got closer, and then smelled an extremely weak ability fluctuation!"
"It's so faint that it's almost nonexistent, but the volatility is there." She added.
"So, that girl named Cheng Ruoxi is also a special individual?" Zhao Pingsheng asked.
Chen Luoxia pondered for a while and said, "Yes and no, there is only this kind of aura on her body, maybe, she hasn't awakened yet."
"During this time, I will visit her often." She smiled slyly, "If I could, I would win her over." ”
Zhao Pingsheng looked out the window, his face was a little serious: "Well, ...... as soon as possible I have a hunch that disaster will land in the near future. ”
Chen Luoxia raised her eyebrows and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Zhao Pingsheng took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and the smoke ring drifted in the silent air.
Chen Luoxia frowned, but did not say anything.
Zhao Pingsheng said: "Do you still remember the selection that was carried out nationwide during the previous period?"
"Yes." Chen Luoxia nodded lightly.
Their group was also involved in that tryout. The first round of selection was to investigate the performance and study habits of tens of millions of high school students across the country.
Students with special talents are selected from among them.
Then it is screened by big data and then screened by a super special group.
"At that time, the result we got was that among the tens of millions of young students, there were hundreds of good seedlings who had not yet awakened their talents."
He paused, then continued: "In the near future, the outbreak of volatility will be more violent and concentrated, and this number may become thousands, tens of thousands, or even more."
"What's more," Zhao Pingsheng's tone gradually became undulating, but his eyes seemed to tremble.
"Our experts have detected unprecedented amounts of energy beneath the frozen soil of Antarctica...... There is no time, we have to pick up the pace. ”
After a long silence, Chen Luoxia nodded and spit out a word softly: "Okay." ”
She got up and walked out of the office, the clatter of her heels hitting the floor.
The ginkgo biloba outside the window has lost its leaves, and the golden yellow on the ground has been swept away, which will be the best fertilizer for the coming year.
The trees are withered and prosperous, and the white clouds are scattered and gathered, but will life be smooth sailing in the future? Zhao Pingsheng muttered to himself.
......
That evening, as soon as the afternoon class was over, Jiang Qiao rushed out of the school in a hurry and ran to a restaurant near the school to ask for two eel rice.
Then, he rushed to the subway station with two meals, and got on the subway before the evening rush hour arrived.
When he came to the hospital, Cheng Ruoxi was still lying on his side on the bed, flipping through the thick study notes he had made.
"Are you feeling better?" Jiang Qiao put the rice on the table and took out one and opened it.
"No, it's still a little painful, and the doctor said it's okay that it's not shifted, and I have to rest in bed for a while." Cheng Ruoxi put down the book, pulled the table in front of him, and ate it carefully with a spoon.
Jiang Qiao watched her eat quietly for a while, and suddenly saw a thin black thread stained on Cheng Ruoxi's ear temples.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Ruoxi shrank his head vigilantly.
Jiang Qiao tore off the thin thread and put it in front of her eyes: "Oh, you have something dirty on your head."
Cheng Ruoxi stared at the thread for a while, and came to a conclusion: "This is Xiao Hei's cat hair." ”
Jiang Qiao took out his share of the meal, and noticed that there were flowers and fruit baskets under the table: "These are ......"
Cheng Ruoxi rolled her eyes: "Oh, don't mention it, my dear head teacher brought a large group of people to see me in the afternoon, and they sent it."
Jiang Qiao smiled: "It's a good thing, it turns out that you are so popular."
"What's good?" Cheng Ruoxi's face couldn't help but turn red when she thought of the embarrassing events in the afternoon.
"The people who came were almost full of the ward, and there was still a large group of people standing outside in Wuyang and Wuyang, and anyone who passed by outside had to look inside, and those who didn't know thought I was a heavyweight."
Cheng Ruoxi seemed to have opened a chatterbox, and complained endlessly: "You don't know, there are a lot of people here." Not only my homeroom teacher, but also the president of the student council, and even the vice principal! ”
She stuck out her tongue: "I can't move when I'm lying there, it hurts when I move!" Jiang Qiao, do you know how embarrassing it is for me to laugh at a group of people I don't know in this posture? ”
Just imagining that scene, Jiang Qiao's scalp was tingling with embarrassment.
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Cheng Ruoxi." Jiang Qiao nodded vigorously.
"Hey, what did I work so hard for?" Cheng Ruoxi glanced at him and said softly: "You are working hard, you are obviously tired enough to study, and you still have to take care of me, a useless patient......"
"Jiang Qiao, why are you so good to me?"
When Jiang Qiao saw her eyes again, there were already tears shining slightly.
"What's so good, I called you sister for so many years, did you call it for nothing?" Ehashi was still smiling, he wanted to liven up the atmosphere a little.
Cheng Ruoxi also snorted, wiped away her tears while laughing, and said jokingly: "Okay, our Jiangqiao is so good and gentle, we must be very popular with girls in school, right?"
Jiang Qiao rolled his eyes and did not answer.
"Yo, I can't be right, right?" Cheng Ruoxi then asked: "Come and listen!"
Jiang Qiao snorted: "Eat first, eat first, it's important to fill your stomach."
……
On Monday, he was with Cheng Ruoxi in the hospital for several nights.
If Cheng Ruoxi hadn't rushed him home at night, he would have wanted to lay a bunk in the hospital and accompany her until dawn.
After all, the only person she can rely on is Jiang Qiao.
On Sunday morning, Ebashi woke up early. He would only visit Cheng Ruoxi at night, so the time during the day was relatively free.
Xiao Hei lay motionless on the courtyard wall again. During the period when Cheng Ruoxi was hospitalized, Jiang Qiao would take care of the cat.
Moreover, according to Jiang Qiao's observation, the elemental ability on Xiao Hei's body has increased again, and it is almost the same as him.
This cat doesn't seem to have a bottleneck at all...... Jiang Qiao was amazed.
Jiang Qiao wrote two test papers, and the time came to noon.
After briefly solving lunch, he took out the second-order magic given by Sylvie to study.
