In the end, Shi Qingyang sent the caterpillars and ant beasts that he’d captured to help with training to Sheng Lin. These kinds of mutant beasts were barely worth noticing to him nowadays, but Sheng Lin was very happy. He spent a lot of time dragging the two caterpillars out of the mud and cleaning them carefully.
After Sheng Lin’s group had packed up the beasts and loaded them into the vehicle, Cheng Ran, Li Jiajia, and Ye Jinyu cleaned themselves up. Along the way, they drank some medicine and sat in the mobile fortress to rest. Only Zheng Gaoyuan did not move.
Shi Qingyang had long gotten used to Zheng Gaoyuan’s nature. He threw a cleaning robot to clean him up and then tossed him on the floor of the mobile fortress. However, he brought Cheng Ran back to his room.
“Big brother Shi, do you really want to set up a hunting team to hunt?” Li Jiajia knocked at the door.
Ever since she had gone out of the city together with Ye Jinyu, only for the three girls to disappear, becoming lost and injured, she had made up her mind to become stronger. For this reason, while other people were afraid of leaving the city because of this incident, she still insisted on heading out to exercise.
And Ye Jinyu’s thoughts were similar to hers. After returning from that mobile town, Ye Jinyu received sympathy and pity from countless people, but she didn’t want such sympathy… In the end, Ye Jinyu came to her, and together they left the city.
After everything that had just happened, Ye Houan naturally dared not let his daughter go out alone. So for the first few days, Ye Houan followed them until they came across Shi Qingyang.
Shi Qingyang chose a good location in the swamp. There was a patrol team base nearby. It could be considered pretty safe. Moreover, Shi Qingyang’s strength wasn’t low…
At that time, when they saw Shi Qingyang and Zheng Gaoyuan training here, they wanted to join. Like Sheng Lin, they thought Shi Qingyang would not agree, but Shi Qingyang agreed.
“That’s right, in the future, hunting in the morning and physical training in the afternoon will be better than just basic training,” Shi Qingyang said while drinking medicine. One month had passed, and although Zheng Gaoyuan still looked very fat, his body had become much stronger under the dual effects of medicine and exercise. Not only that, after he was overwhelmed by caterpillars once, he even affected the radiation energy around him…
Shi Qingyang deeply felt that he should light another fire under Zheng Gaoyuan…
Who knows why, from the beginning, he’d felt really helpless about having to teach Zheng Gaoyuan himself. But at the end of the month, he had gotten interested in seeing the others becoming stronger under his eyes.
In particular, Cheng Ran. Although he gained radiation energy after eating the meat of the queen ant, and his body had improved, he always seemed a little thin before. But now…
Although Shi Qingyang was talking to Li Jiajia, his eyes could not help but fall on Cheng Ran, who was taking off his combat suit. After the first few days of adaptation, Cheng Ran’s appetite grew exponentially. Originally he hadn’t yet been 18 years old. After eating so well, he grew both in height and weight. But after this month, he looked much stronger.
He liked Cheng Ran’s soft appearance before, but he also liked Cheng Ran’s healthy appearance now.
“Can we join?” Li Jiajia asked.
“Of course. I’d planned to include you.” Shi Qingyang smiled and nodded. His previous training was cruel. As a result, both Li Jiajia and Ye Jinyu survived. They had not only talent but also perseverance.
Now he needed to expand his strength, and naturally he would not pass over these talents at this time.
“Thanks so much!” Li Jiajia thanked loudly and smiled cunningly: “I won’t disturb your love. Goodbye!”
When Shi Qingyang beat her down in the challenge arena at first, she thought Shi Qingyang was really hateful. But later, Shi Qingyang accompanied her and Ye Houan out of the city to find Ye Jinyu and the others, which made her have a good impression of Shi Qingyang.
Later, after knowing that Shi Qingyang had saved Ye Jinyu and the others, she went to watch the video of their match that had put her in an extremely embarrassing position. She was no longer ashamed, and was even somewhat moved.
Originally, when she first came to train, she’d thought that she might fall in love with Shi Qingyang for a while. As a result…
Shi Qingyang’s attitude towards her and Ye Jinyu was exactly the same as his attitude toward Zheng Gaoyuan. On the contrary, when it came to Cheng Ran… Anyone with eyes on their head could see how preciously Shi Qingyang treated Cheng Ran. At least, she hadn’t seen Shi Qingyang ever actually let those beasts chasing them reach Cheng Ran after all this time.
Not only that, the rings worn by these two people were obviously a pair… Two high-quality men left the pool just like this. Li Jiajia felt it very tragic.
When Li Jiajia left, she also took two bottles of medicine. It was obvious that she was going to rub some medicine. Shi Qingyang immediately also took a bottle of medicine and looked at Cheng Ran: “Ranran, let me wipe the medicine for you?”
“I’ll help you, too?” Cheng Ran immediately said.
“Now that we’re on the mobile fortress…” Shi Qingyang suddenly felt his throat go dry when he thought of the scene of them mutually rubbing medicine and openly touching each other.
A few days ago, Cheng Ran trained all day in the daytime and was very tired at night. At that time, he would help Cheng Ran wipe medicine every night. If he was careless, he might wipe the ‘gun’ and make it go off…
Of course, the so-called “making the gun go off” was just them comforting each other with their hands, but even so, as young and strong people, they were still eagerly looking forward to it. [T/N Gun misfires / setting off the gun is a euphemism. While wiping Cheng Ran’s body, they both get hard and give each other handjobs. Right now they’re implying going again. Yay for getting around censors]
“Aren’t you tired, do you still have the energy to do it?” Cheng Ran was shocked. He just liked the feeling of touching Shi Qingyang’s skin. He didn’t think so far ahead.
“Of course I have the energy! I’m just afraid you don’t have the strength…” Shi Qingyang sighed. Cheng Ran had helped him halfway last night before falling asleep
Of course, he didn’t suffer any loss, but took advantage of it.
“I don’t know… Yesterday it was because you felt me too comfortable…” Cheng Ran blushed. Shi Qingyang had touched and rubbed his up and down. He’d fallen asleep without holding back…
“Well, let’s wipe the medicine quickly, otherwise it will be too late. This mobile fortress will return to the city soon!” Shi Qingyang looked at the time and felt anxious. If he wasted any time, he would have no chance to eat tofu…
Cheng Ran had always been wearing the best radiation protection suit. Now that he had radiation energy, he took no radiation damage. At the moment, his face was still white and tender. Looking at Shi Qingyang’s worried appearance, his face slowly turned red.
In less than an hour, the mobile fortress had already returned to the city. The people who now entered the city were familiar with them. When they saw Shi Qingyang coming down from the mobile fortress with a big fat man, everyone was not surprised. Instead, they paid special attention to Sheng Lin’s two armored vehicles following the mobile fortress–they had never seen anyone follow Shi Qingyang’s mobile fortress before. Moreover, after Shi Qingyang came down, he even talked to the people on the two misshapen armored vehicles.
Among the people watching, there were people Sheng Lin knew, who curiously pulled him to ask.
Although Sheng Lin had always been very calm, at this time, he also wanted to show off because he was very excited. However, he was worried that Shi Qingyang would not be happy. Finally, he could only grit his teeth tightly, and he was very uncomfortable.
From beginning to end, Cheng Xuze had been staying in Anhang City for two months. His residence here was getting better and better, and even Shi Qingyang felt pleasantly towards it.
But today, when he took people back, he saw an unexpected person. It was a 16-year-old boy who looked very similar to Cheng Ran. Who was this if not Cheng Zhen, Cheng Hong’s son?
Why was Cheng Zhen sitting in the hall?
Cheng Hong had always ignored Cheng Ran, but he was very kind to Cheng Zhen, almost obedient. For Cheng Zhen, he had his parents and his sister, but he didn’t have Cheng Ran as a brother. Therefore, Cheng Zhen had always been repelled by Cheng Ran. Now, when he saw Cheng Ran coming in from outside, he snorted coldly and turned his head as if he didn’t see Cheng Ran.
If this had happened before, Cheng Ran would have been a little sad. But now, with Shi Qingyang around, he didn’t care, and even ignored Cheng Zhen: “Qingyang, I’m hungry.”
“I’ll go to the kitchen,” Shi Qingyang smiled and said like he just didn’t see Cheng Zhen.
“Don’t you see that there’s a guest? Don’t you know you have to entertain them? As expected, this one’s an illegitimate child and doesn’t know anything…” Cheng Zhen was furious when he saw this.
“Xiao Zhen, don’t talk nonsense.” At the same time, a woman came out of the room. It was Cheng Hong’s wife Qin Liu.
She reprimanded Cheng Zhen and apologized to Cheng Ran: “Xiao Ran, sorry, your brother is not sensible.” Qin Liu was very polite, but her strange behavior undoubtedly confirmed Cheng Zhen’s label of “illegitimate son”.
“It doesn’t matter,” Cheng Ran said, but he could not tell what he felt. He once watched the video that Gu Changjin found, and called them his father and mother. He hoped that his parents would care about him after he became stronger. Now he was getting stronger, and his relationship with his parents grew more distant.
Fortunately, he didn’t care much about this anymore.
Qin Liu looked at Cheng Zhen with a grudge, and soon took him away. At this time, Cheng Xuze came out of the room, a slight frown on his face.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Shi Qingyang asked curiously.
“It’s nothing. You’re hungry, aren’t you? I’ve asked people to prepare food. Go and eat it quickly.” Cheng Xuze obviously did not intend to say anything.
Seeing this, Shi Qingyang simply did not ask. Cheng Xuze always felt that they were too young and would not tell them something. However, he would say everything when he faced Not Starving. Even if he did not know now, he could change his identity and have a good chat with Cheng Xuze later.
Cheng Xuze prepared a large piece of roast meat, potato cakes and fried vegetables for Cheng Ran, but in front of Zheng Gaoyuan, there was only a bowl of vegetable soup and a vegetable dumpling.
Zheng Gaoyuan took a sip of soup and looked at the meat in front of other people. He seemed like he had been being abused. If Cheng Xuze had looked at him in the past, he would have been pitiful. He might have given him a piece of meat as big as his fingernail. But today, everyone’s attention was on another person.
“The young master’s appetite is getting better and better.” Seeing Cheng Ran eating quickly, Gu Changjin was very impressed. Cheng Ran could not even eat meat in the past. He had been thin and small, but now he was better.
“Grandpa Gu, these are delicious. You should eat more!” Cheng Ran smiled.
“Yes, young master.” Gu Changjin nodded, and his appetite improved a little.
After he had been rescued from outside the city, he had been living in the hospital. Originally, his injuries hadn’t been healed, and he should have continued to live there. However, his physical condition wasn’t suitable for hospitalization…
In the beginning, the doctor diagnosed that he would become like an ordinary person and no longer have radiation energy. But these days, he felt that his body had begun to have radiation energy again and was still slowly recovering…
Gu Changjin was very clear that even if he hadn’t done anything, an innocent man will get into trouble because of his wealth. If he, Shi Qingyang, and Cheng Ran’s differences were to be discovered, it would certainly cause a big uproar… After thinking about this, Gu Changjin preferred not to stay in the hospital anymore, and packed up his things to return back early.
Anyway, most of his injuries had been healed. It didn’t matter if he recuperated outside. As for the radiation energy, there were some changes in his internal energy, but without professional tools, it was certainly impossible to detect and understand…
Although it was almost impossible for him to recover to how he was before, Gu Changjin was very satisfied with the current situation. Seeing that Cheng Ran was getting healthier and healthier, he even thanked those ant beasts.
“Grandpa Gu, when you get well, we’ll take you out of the city to see the scenery,” Shi Qingyang also said.
“Well, I’ll certainly go then,” Gu Changjin agreed with a smile.
Everyone enjoyed the meal except Zheng Gaoyuan. After dinner, Zheng Gaoyuan also got some very exciting news–his grandparents finally decided to have a video call with him after ignoring him for a month!
Hearing the news, Zheng Gaoyuan couldn’t help but burst into tears. After connecting the phone, he immediately rushed up: “Grandma, Grandma, they don’t give me meat. Grandma, tell Shi Qingyang to give me some meat!”
In fact, he wanted to complain and tell them all about his heartbreaking exercise experience. However, considering that Shi Qingyang had been exercising with him these days, and Cheng Ran’s performance was countless times better than his, he was too embarrassed to say anything more.
“Gaoyuan? Are you Gaoyuan?” Zheng Gaoyuan’s grandparents looked at their grandson in shock. They could see their grandson’s eyes!
“Grandpa, I want to eat meat…” Zheng Gaoyuan’s eyes were dim with tears, but he didn’t realize that his grandparents didn’t notice what he said. Instead, they looked at Cheng Xuze gratefully: “It’s really good that Gaoyuan has lost so much weight, Mr. Cheng. It’s thanks to you! We only wanted someone to take care of him, but didn’t think you could even make him lose weight… Mr. Cheng, we’ll give you double the commission. You can continue to take care of him. It’s alright to be strict and have him go hungry!”
How many meals should he go hungry? Zheng Gaoyuan became desperate.
His grandparents were still very excited: “Gaoyuan is so fat, we’ve always been afraid he would die of illness. It’s really good to lose weight now…” Zheng Gaoyuan used to have very broad meat, but now he had lost 50 pounds and is much stronger. His whole body had lost a circle. The visual effect was amazing, and they were surprised and said incoherently: “I didn’t expect you to help us so!”
“Don’t worry, I will let him continue to work hard! Now he has developed radiant energy, and he should be able to become a rad-energy warrior in a short time… However, you should not always thank me. I’m very busy and have no time to control this child. In fact, he has always been taught by Shi Qingyang.” Cheng Xuze did not take credit for it, and smiled and introduced Shi Qingyang.
Zheng Gaoyuan’s grandfather owned a large business, but he was still a grandfather and loved his grandson very much. Zheng Gaoyuan was loved by him for his intelligence when he was young. Later, when something happened, he felt very guilty and wanted to compensate him…
Because of this, he was extremely enthusiastic about Shi Qingyang, who was from a younger generation. After giving him double remuneration, he also promised an armored vehicle.
Shi Qingyang replied with a smile, but he couldn’t help but want to make a comment. He’d always been under the impression that Zheng Gaoyuan’s grandparents hoped that he could train Zheng Gaoyuan to be like a normal person. He didn’t expect that they would be so happy with just such achievements…
For the sake of double pay, he would continue to work hard in the future!
