Chapter 49 The Game is On
"How is it?" Qin Ren stood up abruptly, his muscles tense.
Seeing his strong reaction, Qin Ze looked at him strangely and handed him the report while saying, "It's nothing, she's healthy."
Nothing?
Qin Ren's brows furrowed even tighter. His gaze swept over the paper, word by word, fixating on the final examination results. His heart didn't settle down even for a moment; in fact, it sank a bit further.
They couldn't find anything? Could this be a new type of poison developed by El?
With this thought, his breath became even tighter, and he held onto the examination report without saying a word.
Grandma Qin noticed something was wrong this time. She asked curiously, "Qin Ren, what's wrong? Wasn't it just a stomachache for Zhouzhou? Why are you so nervous?"
Qin Ren tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing. I'm just worried that something might happen to Zhouzhou, and I won't be able to explain it to Youngest Uncle."
I see.
Indeed, he was always concerned about his younger siblings.
Grandma Qin reassured him, "It's fine. The examination report is out now, and there's nothing wrong. Don't scare yourself. If Zhouzhou feels uncomfortable, she will tell us."
"Yeah." Zhouzhou nodded, "Eldest Brother, I'm really fine."
Qin Ren nodded but remained silent. At that moment, Qin Lie walked in and asked, "What's going on?"
Grandma Qin smiled and explained the situation, ending with, "Qin Ren is just very responsible and always worried that something might happen to Zhouzhou and cause trouble for you."
Is that so?
Qin Lie glanced at Qin Ren without saying anything.
Seeing him, Zhouzhou immediately reached out to him and said, "Dad, carry me!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie approached, lifted her out of the blanket, and examined her face. Seeing her full of energy, he said, "Then let's go back. If there's nothing wrong, it's better to spend less time in the hospital."
"Right, let's go home." When she saw that Qin Ren didn't move, Grandma Qin stepped forward and held onto him. She noticed that he felt very cold, and his palms were damp.
She looked at him curiously. Why was he so nervous?
Not daring to show too much panic under her gaze, Qin Ren forced himself to calm down and followed them back home, his mind heavy with worry.
Just as they entered the house, Qin Xi came running out. As soon as she saw Zhouzhou, she ran over and held her hand, saying, "Let's go, Zhouzhou. I'll take you to play!"
Zhouzhou looked at Qin Lie and saw him nod, so she followed Qin Xi and left.
"Come with me." Watching her figure disappear, Qin Lie finally loosened his tie and glanced at Qin Ren. He then turned and walked towards the study.
Qin Ren nodded and followed him.
Study.
Qin Ren said seriously, "Uncle, my tragedy must not happen again to Zhouzhou."
"It won't." Qin Lie assured him. Seeing that he still seemed hesitant, he decided to call Zhouzhou in.
Zhouzhou was playing, but she was suddenly called over by Qin Lie. She looked up at them, confused, and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"
Qin Lie glanced at her and asked, "Do you know what El gave you to eat?"
Who is El?
Zhouzhou thought for a moment, and when she heard him mention eating, she guessed it was the candy he gave her. She nodded, "Yes, I know. It's poison."
Just as expected.
"You knew it was poison, yet you still ate it."
"I don't mind." Zhouzhou waved her hand nonchalantly, "I used to eat poison often when I was on the mountain. Master said that only when you feel pain yourself can you stimulate the motivation to make antidotes. It worked for me. I can make antidotes quickly every time."
She even felt a bit proud when talking about it.
Qin Ren was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Qin Lie to be so accurate in his judgment.
He anxiously asked, "Is the antidote effective?"
"It's alright. One ingredient doesn't match, but I've already taken the Hundred Poisons Pill. It can neutralize any poison, and I've also cultivated a body that is immune to a hundred poisons. That poison doesn't affect me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren finally relaxed.
As Qin Lie had said, Zhouzhou was not an ordinary child. Her medical skills far exceeded their understanding. If she said it was okay, then there really was nothing to worry about.
"You scared me." Qin Ren let out a long breath, still feeling lingering fear. He reminded her, "From now on, don't eat things given by strangers."
Zhouzhou nodded, indicating that she understood. She explained, "Actually, I had another purpose for eating that poison."
"What purpose?"
A mischievous smile appeared on Zhouzhou's soft face, and she gestured to them with her chubby little hand.
Curious, Qin Ren leaned closer, while Qin Lie glanced at her and probably guessed what she was going to say. Finally, he bent down in cooperation.
Zhouzhou said, "Because I wanted to trick him into eating my Dead Pill. Its toxicity is much stronger than his poison."
Dead Pill... Wasn't that the pill that Liu Hanqiu almost took before?
At that time, Zhouzhou had explained the effects of the Dead Pill.
As the name implied, after taking it, one's legs would kick up, and they would see the Buddha in the Western Paradise. It was a highly toxic pill.
However, although it was highly toxic, it didn't immediately take effect, and the specific onset time was not fixed. Zhouzhou controlled it.
Just as she said that, Zhouzhou snapped her fingers. Two dimples appeared on her fair little face, and she blinked her eyes, smiling innocently and harmlessly.
"The game is on."
