老攻身患绝症[穿书]

Chapter143

Xie Yang was relieved. Then he thought about what he was hiding from Qiu Xing. After considering it, he decided to wait until they were abroad before confessing to Qiu Xing.

They arrived at the airport. Qin Cheng pulled his luggage and came to find Xie Yang. He was following Xie Yang on this business trip and would help him handle all matters of external communication. He was stunned for a bit after seeing Qiu Xing and hurriedly glanced at Xie Yang. 

Xie Yang shook his head imperceptibly to Qin Cheng and explained, “Ah Xing will accompany me on the business trip this time.”

Qin Cheng suppressed his emotions and greeted Qiu Xing.

The group quickly went through the boarding process. This once again reflected Qiu Xing’s calculations. After knowing that Xie Yang was going on a business trip, Qiu Xing took the initiative to help Xie Yang and his team book a ticket. Then he booked one for himself.

On the plane, Xie Yang leaned close to Qiu Xing and deliberately murmured, “Scheming mouse.” 

Qiu Xing pretended not to hear it.

During the flight, Xie Yang was afraid that Qiu Xing couldn’t sleep well. He secretly used his ability to help soothe Qiu Xing’s body. 10 hours later, the plane landed in Y Country. It was still in the afternoon in Y Country. Xie Yang carefully observed Qiu Xing’s expression when getting off the plane. Seeing that he didn’t look tired, Xie Yang was a bit relieved.

The hotel was booked in advance which was also Qiu Xing’s work. The group settled in and ate something simple to fill their stomachs. Xie Yang returned to their room and immediately urged Qiu Xing to wash. He drove Qiu Xing to bed the moment they washed.

It might be afternoon in Y Country but according to the time in B City, it was actually past midnight. Qiu Xing might’ve slept on the plane for a while but it definitely wasn’t sufficient. Qiu Xing listened to his arrangement in this regard. He obediently washed up and went to bed. He first pulled Xie Yang to take his temperature and asked, “Aren’t you sleeping?” 

“You go to bed first and I’ll stay with you when I’m done taking a shower.”

Qiu Xing asked again, “What time will you start working tomorrow? Are you feeling uncomfortable right now?”

It was time.

Xie Yang sat down on the bed and held Qiu Xing’s hand. “In fact… the official commercial shooting won’t start until four days later.” 

Qiu Xing immediately sat up straight. “What?”

“I was afraid that I couldn’t ‘acclimatize to the environment’ when abroad so I set a bit of time in case I get sick.” Xie Yang explained and immediately added, “It was just in case. I didn’t deliberately lie to you.”

“……”

“Are you angry?” 

“No.” Qiu Xing leaned back on the bed and grabbed Xie Yang’s hand. “Your sickness… take a shower first. Pay more attention these days and try not to get sick.”

He secured a pass.

Rather than taking a shower, Xie Yang smiled and leaned toward Qiu Xing. “If I don’t get sick, can we explore these few next days? It will be a date.”

A date. 

Qiu Xing’s cloudy expression finally cleared up and he pinched Xie Yang’s hand. “Then you have to fight hard.”

***

By the time he came out of the shower, Qiu Xing had already fallen asleep. Xie Yang lay down next to Qiu Xing and looked at the time. He felt that since he couldn’t avoid Qiu Xing, some things should be tried as soon as possible.

He pulled Qiu Xing’s arm and leaned over. He waited for Qiu Xing to instinctively hug him and then closed his eyes, putting his forehead on Qiu Xing’s collarbone and slowing down his breathing. A lot of his ability had been consumed on the plane so he needed to collect a larger amount first to prepare for the inevitable resistance of the system. 

His ability slowly emerged from his body, spread out and wrapped around all the plants closest to it.

Around four hours later, his ability core was slightly full. Xie Yang withdrew his ability and first circulated the new energy around his body two times to digest it. Then he used the ability to create a sealing barrier around his body like last time.

The pre-preparations were complete. Xie Yang became more focused and kept extracting his ability from his core, sending it toward the area blocking the system. He made the ability in that area more dense and solid.

His thinking was very simple. The system was just hiding and hadn’t really disappeared. As long as he kept squeezing its hiding space, it would show up sooner or later. In any case, it was impossible to release the blockade. He was afraid the system would run away secretly or move its position. 

The ability in the blocked area was getting denser. It was unknown how long it took. Just as the ability in the blocked area was so dense that it almost formed an entity, an intermittent mechanical sound finally appeared.

[Hibernation interrupted… alarm… detected a crisis… sending a help signal to the main system… sending failed… alarm! Detected a crisis!]

Xie Yang hurriedly increased the ability. A series of intermittent prompts sounded again and a vague dark shadow finally appeared in the blocked area. It was caught.

Xie Yang immediately manipulated his ability to surround it, eroding the power around it to quickly strengthen himself. Then he used his increased ability to devour the power of the dark energy group more fiercely. 

The alarm in his head suddenly became sharper.

[Alarm! Attacked by an unknown energy! Starting the defense… failed to start. Starting the final self-protection program… successfully started.]

The moment this prompt was heard, the dark energy group that was being nibbled on suddenly disappeared again. Then Xie Yang clearly felt something swelling and spreading in the blocked area, trying to break the blockage of the ability.

Xie Yang was dizzy for a moment. He wondered if this dark energy group was going to kill him and run away. He tightened his fingers and simply used his ability to surround the dark energy group and bring it to his ability core.
