After packing up his things, Shen Ruo turned on his optical brain to check the starship flight back to Cross Star.

It will take him more than three hours to go to the starship port from here. After looking around, Shen Ruo bought a ticket for four hours later. If he leaves now, he can catch up.

After booking the ticket, Shen Ruo rubbed his eyes, feeling a little swollen and uncomfortable, but he has no intention of looking for a medical robot right now.

Getting up from the bed, Shen Ruo pulled the suitcase. He planned to say goodbye to Mrs. Chu. After all, he had lived here for so long and had already disturbed the Chu family. The old lady was an elder, so she had to say goodbye.

This kind of departure actually meant running away, but Shen Ruo was really scared.

He couldn't remember those nightmares, he couldn't remember any of them, and everything was forgotten, but the panic was always engraved in the deepest part of his heart, so that when he first woke up, he didn't even dare to touch Chu Xiao. A conditioned fear, even he himself didn't know why he was so afraid of Chu Xiao.

Pulling the suitcase, Shen Ruo planned to go out to say goodbye to Mrs. Chu, but before he could go out, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Ruo's hand holding the handle suddenly clenched.

"Master Shen, it's almost time for breakfast, you need to check first."

It was the butler's voice, and Shen Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't feel any hunger, he just wanted to leave Emperor Star as soon as possible.

So Shen Ruo opened the door, and there were housekeepers and medical robots outside.

The blue eyes of the robot quickly scanned Shen Ruo's body, and the electronic mechanical sound sounded, saying that his injury is not serious, but he is a little weak now, and it is recommended to rest in bed and nourish himself.

When Shen Ruo heard the words of the robot, he ignored it, just looked at the butler and said, "Butler, I want to go to the old lady and say goodbye to her, I should go back."

The butler looked at Shen Ruo's pale face and red and swollen eyes, which were still bloodshot. The whole person's condition was too bad, and Shen Ruo's lips were all white and chapped to the point of peeling, but he didn't seem to notice it. , or rather, don't care at all.

Glancing at the suitcase he was pulling, the housekeeper sighed in his heart. He knew about Shen Ruo falling down the stairs last night. In front of so many people, a thin-skinned little man would not want to face Yes and normal.

"Then, Young Master Shen, I'll take you to find the old lady."

The housekeeper can't decide this matter, he can only follow Shen Ruo's opinion, if the old lady agrees, then he can only send Shen Ruo back.

The old lady had already woken up at this time, she lived on the second floor, while Chu Xiao, who was said to be on the third floor where Duke Chu lived, lived on the fourth floor.

Shen Ruo saw the old lady outside the room on the second floor.

"Old madam, I've been bothering you for too long at the Chu family." Shen Ruo said, but anyone who saw his sickly appearance would be worried.

Like the housekeeper, Mrs. Chu also thought that Shen Ruo was too embarrassed to stay here because of a fall. She looked at Shen Ruo worriedly and said that he could wait for his body to recover before leaving.

But Shen Ruo was very firm. He said that he had already booked today's ticket. After speaking, seeing the worried look on the kind old lady's face, he forced a smile and said that he was fine.

Mrs. Chu is usually very talkative, but she sees that Shen Ruo insists on leaving now, if she just lets Shen Ruo go, no matter who knows that Shen Ruo goes back sick with injuries, no matter what, He would only think that it was because they didn't treat Shen Ruo well, and even thought that they treated Shen Ruo badly, which made Shen Ruo want to go home in such a hurry.

So Mrs. Chu was also anxious, and if Shen Ruo's situation was too bad, in case something happened along the way...

Thinking about it this way, the old lady doesn't want to let Shen Ruo go back even more. The Chu family's face is a minor matter. If Shen Ruoshang leaves before he recovers, he will be on a starship for two days. It is very likely that he will be even weaker. If something happens on the way, it will be too late to say no matter how regretful it is.

Seeing the old lady's resolute attitude, the housekeeper also persuaded Shen Ruo that when he recovered, he would definitely send someone to send him back. The most important thing now is to take care of his body first.

Seeing that Shen Ruo remained silent, the housekeeper and the old lady looked at each other helplessly, but they could only persuade Shen Ruo patiently.

She even carefully persuaded him that face is not as important as body, meaning that Shen Ruo should not pay too much attention to the matter of falling and losing face.

But Shen Ruo didn't understand what they meant, and was even a little dazed. He only wanted to escape from here.

"In this way, Young Master Shen, it will only be three days. I will send someone to take you back after three days. If you leave today, when you get home, your family will definitely be worried when they see you like this."

The housekeeper pondered for a while and said, sure enough, Shen Ruo obviously hesitated to make the family worry that this sentence had an effect.

The old lady didn't stop the housekeeper, so it was fine, she saw that Shen Ruo was a little shaken, so she opened her mouth and complied with the housekeeper's words, saying that she would send him home in three days.

The pale-faced Shen Ruo just nodded, and he smiled and said thank you to Mrs. Chu, but the sadness in the smile made the soft-hearted old man feel a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what happened to Shen Ruo.

It may be that her mind is too sensitive, Mrs. Chu didn't know what Shen Ruo experienced when she was in a coma, and she always thought that it was because of the fall that he became like this.

If Shen Ruo fell down at Chu's house, no matter what, they had to let Shen Ruo recuperate here before leaving.

This matter can only be settled helplessly, Shen Ruo is afraid that he will go back like this and make his second uncle and second aunt worry.

And he has already agreed to the old lady. He can see that the old lady cares about him. If he leaves without caring about anything, it will make things difficult for the old lady.

Walking downstairs with the housekeeper, Shen Ruo hesitated, but still asked the housekeeper not to tell Chu Xiao that he was leaving.

Although Shen Ruo didn't say the reason, but his pleading gaze, his face was pale and unseemly, and the housekeeper was familiar with him in the past month, but finally he softened his heart and agreed to Shen Ruo.

-

All the anxiety and worries were at work, making Shen Ruo almost unable to sort out his thoughts. He only knew that he had to go, and because of the book that inexplicably appeared in his mind, and those books that he had never seen before, but appeared in his mind. People, let him have a kind of fear of unknown power.

Shen Ruo stayed in the room alone, he was lying on the bed dull, his mind was in a mess.

Every time he thinks about those things, he has a feeling that everyone's fate has already been written, only according to that script, and he is just the most inconspicuous cannon fodder.

Under that unknown power, he has no room to resist at all, and will only walk the path he should go with time, and the final outcome, there is a high probability of death.

The threat of death hangs over Shen Ruo's mind, and it won't dissipate for a long time.

He didn't know why he chose to stay in Emperor Star, and still went and hooked up with others.

Is it for wealth and enjoyment?

When Shen Ruo thought about it like this, he almost blamed "myself", why did he covet these things.

Drowsy, Shen Ruo didn't know that he had already started to have a fever, he was so burned that he was thinking wildly, and even for a moment, Chu Xiao appeared in front of him.

The handsome face of the young man was gloomy and stern, looking straight at him like that, completely different from the gentle and caring in the past.

Shen Ruo was so frightened that he almost didn't know how to breathe, his face was full of panic, and he couldn't even make a sound. He finally thought, he didn't want wealth and enjoyment, he didn't want them, so he wouldn't die.

Consciousness fell into darkness, and Shen Ruo didn't wake up until the afternoon.

There was no Chu Xiao in the room, he was still lying on the bed, probably dreaming after falling asleep, Chu Xiao did not appear in his room.

In just three days, Shen Ruo felt that the days were like years. He had never hoped that time would pass faster like this.

For the past three days, he has been hiding in his room, and he didn't even go out to eat, let alone see Chu Xiao.

It happened to be the reason why the medical robot advised him to stay in bed, otherwise Shen Ruo would not be able to escape.

As for whether this would be disrespectful to the Chu family and make the old lady feel bad about him, Shen Ruo couldn't care less about it, so he didn't dare to see Chu Xiao at all.

Even though Chu Xiao had always looked like a gentleman in front of him, Shen Ruo was still afraid, he was afraid that Chu Xiao would really become like in the book.

The daily meals are either brought in by the housekeeper or other servants. They are the nutritional recipes listed for him by the medical robot. The kitchen will follow the list, and he will drink a pill every day, which will make him recover faster.

In the past three days, Shen Ruo has indeed recovered a lot, at least the fever subsided, and the headache no longer ached, but because he was thinking too much, his face was still pale.

Finally, when it was time to leave, Shen Ruo's previously packed suitcases were almost uncluttered, and he was waiting to leave.

Early in the morning, without even having breakfast, Shen Ruo woke up at four o'clock. Originally, the butler had booked a starship ticket for him at noon, and there would be a driver to take him off, but Shen Ruo couldn't wait anymore. Booked the morning Starship ticket.

Quickly packed himself up, before dawn outside, Shen Ruo quietly went downstairs with the suitcase.

Yesterday evening, he asked the servant who brought him some flowers to bring him some flowers. After finishing a bunch of flower arrangements, he put them in the room.

The old lady taught him to arrange flowers before, and making a bunch of such flowers for the old lady before leaving was the only thing Shen Ruo could do.

Walking some distance outside the Duke's Mansion, there is a post, which is guarded by people. In order to prevent illegal personnel from approaching the Duke's Mansion, Shen Ruo and Shen Ping were also questioned by people here when they first came here.

The guards knew Shen Ruo. Although they didn't know why he left so early, the detectors installed in the hiding place detected that there was nothing suspicious on Shen Ruo's body, and they didn't have the right to restrict other people's personal freedom, so they let Shen Ruo leave.

Walking quickly to the platform, Shen Ruo looked up at the dark sky in the early morning. He let go of the suitcase lever and breathed a sigh of relief.

He checked and found that the earliest public suspension train to arrive at the platform near the Duke's Mansion was at 57:[-] in the morning. Looking at the time, it was almost here.

When he saw the car approaching, Shen Ruo suddenly became nervous. He looked back in the direction of the Duke's mansion. Except for a few scattered lights, there was no other movement.

The whole mansion was sleeping peacefully, it was too early now, only the cooks who were preparing breakfast woke up one after another.

After Shen Ruo got on the car, his heart finally settled down. There were not many people in the morning, and he was the only one in the car he got on.

After sitting down, Shen Ruo realized that it was a little cold, it was too early, the temperature was a little low, he was not wearing a coat, and his arms were cold.

The journey went smoothly. After the sun came out, the sky was bright and Shen Ruo arrived at the port.

Even in the morning, the port of Emperor Star was still very crowded, and Shen Ruo lined up to refresh his brain.

When he stepped onto the connecting board of the starship, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

If Shen Ruo walked forward, he just had to go in and sit in his seat. In another 9 minutes, the starship would take off, and two days later, he would return to Cross Star.

But before he finished walking the connecting board, there was an angry shout from behind.

"Shen Ruo!"

Turning back suddenly, Shen Ruo saw the familiar person in the distance, but that gloomy expression made him feel extremely strange and frightened.

Doing his best to restrain his anger, Chu Xiao saw Shen Ruo turning his head, but his eyes were full of panic, without any hesitation, he immediately ran into the starship.

Chu Xiao, who was extremely angry, calmed down instead, his face was icy, looking at Shen Ruo who was running away, he slightly curled his lips into a sneer, then his face darkened again, his eyes were full of frost, he was completely useless to such a demihuman who didn't know what to do. Got patience.
