Chapter 162: Suddenly Fainting
The next morning, when Xiao Ying arrived at the laboratory, Yan Kun and the others were already waiting at the door.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you guys to arrive earlier than me.”
They recorded their fingerprints so they could enter directly in the future.
Xiao Ying arranged for Qiao Zihao to play games by the side while they started their research. Xiao Ying sent them the information she had prepared and briefly explained the procedure.
Yan Kun and the others were a little excited. They hadn’t expected this research to be about brain power.
Xiao Ying was very satisfied with their attitude. She turned around and saw that Qiao Zihao was also listening intently. She couldn’t help but smile and say, “Zihao, if you’re bored, you don’t have to stay here with us.”
Qiao Zihao shook his head and sat there watching them work. After a while, he walked right over to their side to watch.
Xiao Ying did not mind, and neither did Yan Kun and the others. A day passed just like that. Xiao Ying frowned as she looked at their experimental data. There was an obvious problem with it.
Qiao Zihao suddenly said, “Sister, what if we change the carrier?”
Xiao Ying did not realize who was speaking for a moment. Instead, she was immersed in wondering if this method would work.
“That’s right. We can choose something lighter and more accommodating,” Xiao Ying said excitedly. Only then did she realize that the person who had just spoken was Qiao Zihao.
The five adults looked at him in shock. Xiao Ying asked, “Zihao, can you understand this document?”
Qiao Zihao shook his head and nodded. Then he explained, “I didn’t understand at first, but after Sister explained it, I understood.”
Xiao Ying said in shock, “I never expected you to be a genius.”
With that, Qiao Zihao had completely joined their research team. As his performance became more and more monstrous, they no longer treated him as a child but as partners.
A few days had passed and Xiao Ying did not interact with Cheng Yang at all. This morning, she received a notification that the amulet lacked energy.
Even so, Xiao Ying continued to conduct research as usual, ignoring the amulet that kept popping up in her mind.
At night, Xiao Ying brought Qiao Zihao home. The amulet had gone completely silent. She smiled knowingly. She had done it on purpose.
In the blink of an eye, she realized that Qiao Zihao had also fallen asleep. Seeing that he had fallen asleep on the couch, Xiao Ying thought that he must have been too tired recently. In her heart, she thought that it would be best to reduce his workload in the future. After all, no matter how smart he was, he was still a child.
She gently picked up the child from the couch, placed him in the room, covered him with a blanket, and left.
Initially, she thought that he had only fallen asleep. However, the next morning, after Xiao Ying could not wake him up no matter what, she realized that something had happened.
As she picked him up and walked towards the hospital, she called Qiao Na to ask if there had been any similar cases before.
When Qiao Na received the call, she rushed to the hospital. Xiao Ying was waiting outside a ward. When she saw her running over, she went up to her.
“How is Zihao?” Qiao Na asked.
Xiao Ying frowned and said, “The doctor said that there was nothing wrong after checking. He just fell asleep.”
Hearing that, Qiao Na heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “This child used to be like this often. He would suddenly fall unconscious, but his body is fine. He’ll wake up after a while.”
Xiao Ying frowned. She had never seen such a medical record before. She had helped him check his body just now, but she had also not found any problems.
But since Qiao Na had said so, she had no choice but to arrange for Qiao Zihao to stay at the hospital.
That night, Xiao Ying heard that familiar voice again in her sleep. “Master—”
The voice was as weak as last time.
Xiao Ying quickly shouted, “Amulet?”
Still no response. In the next second, Xiao Ying awoke from her dream.
