CHAPTER 155: CHAPTER 155: SENILITY DISEASE

Bai Yusen was caught eavesdropping at the corner of the wall, feeling very embarrassed, and he didn’t care about his headache, wishing he could leave immediately.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Bai Yusen’s body tensed up, covering his head and not daring to turn around, he mumbled, "Ah, it’s okay."

"Let me see."

Bai Xiaotang grabbed Bai Yusen’s arm and forcibly turned his body to look at his head.

Bai Yusen was very tall, and although Bai Xiaotang wasn’t short, she still only reached his chin and had to look up to see him.

There was a prominent red spot on Bai Yusen’s forehead.

"Come on, let’s spray some medicine." Bai Xiaotang firmly pulled Bai Yusen’s hand and walked towards the second floor.

Aunt Zeng’s eyes carried a hint of a smile as she walked into the dining room carrying a pot.

Ji Ning seemed unaffected, continuing to enjoy her noodles with great relish.

Seeing her appetite, Aunt Zeng had a rough idea, placing the pot in front of Ji Ning, she said softly, "There’s more."

Ji Ning swallowed the noodles in her mouth and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Aunt Zeng didn’t stay; she quickly left.

She didn’t know why, but ever since she first saw Ji Ning, she had felt inexplicably nervous, a feeling she hadn’t experienced in years.

Standing in the kitchen, a small flame appeared at her fingertip, lighting up the bottom of the pot as she continued cooking the noodles.

Her superpower level wasn’t low, she could hold a high position in any power, but because of the life-saving grace from Bai Yusen’s deceased wife, she was willing to stay with the Bai Family to take care of these two unfortunate children.

She had seen more powerful superpower users than herself, but none of them had ever made her feel fearful or nervous. Yet the appearance of Bai Xiaotang’s good friend, Ji Ning, made her hair stand on end, and a sudden feeling of unease surged up.

Ji Ning...

The name brought a bit of unease.

Aunt Zeng thought carefully, while the Bai siblings on the other side were feeling a bit warm.

Bai Yusen quietly watched his little sister anxiously apply medicine to him, enjoying her care.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaotang was feeling a bit confused inside. She had always blamed Bai Yusen a bit, but hearing what Ji Ning said, she felt heartache for him.

Busy to the point that even eating became perfunctory, how much pressure must her brother be under?

Had she been a bit too inconsiderate?

"I’m sorry." A single apology broke the silence between the siblings.

Bai Xiaotang looked up in disbelief.

Her brother was looking at her with eyes full of heartache, "It’s my fault as your brother, for ignoring your feelings all these years."

"No... It’s not... It’s my fault."

Bai Xiaotang answered in a panic, lowered her head to look at the medicine in her hand, her nose felt sour, and tears were about to be shed.

Bai Yusen sighed, reached out to touch Bai Xiaotang’s hair, "It’s not your fault, it’s mine. When mom and dad just passed away, I was really at a loss, I wanted to support the Bai Family, wanted to protect you well, but my methods became increasingly radical. Not only did it hurt you, but it also made our relationship increasingly distant. It’s my fault, and I’m sorry as your brother!"

"No... Brother, you’ve already... worked so hard... I..."

"I’m sorry, Tangtang." Bai Yusen pulled Bai Xiaotang into his arms, his voice choked with emotion.

Bai Xiaotang couldn’t hold it anymore and started to cry out loud, the grievance in her voice making Bai Yusen feel guilty.

At that moment, he was somewhat grateful to Ji Ning. Without her, he might not have known Bai Xiaotang’s true feelings and how much she had been wronged.

A dignified heiress of the Bai Family, yet living so cautiously, feeling inferior and timid, it was his fault.

***

On the other side.

Beijing Research Institute, S-Class Laboratory.

The man’s breathing, which they were trying to save, finally became smooth.

The aging face gradually recovered, and the gray hair started to turn black from the roots.

"Great, Mr. Bart finally pulled through."

"Why did he suddenly fall ill?"

"Did he come into contact with some allergen?"

The research staff involved in the rescue were discussing.

Steven Bart was an Outer Continent professor specially appointed from Jiazhou by the Beijing Research Institute, mainly responsible for the institute’s 3S-Class research projects.

Originally, he went to an external research meeting, but unexpectedly fell ill on the plane, which scared his assistant and student, Pu Yixia, a lot.

His illness was called aging disease, as soon as it occurs, the body’s functions would slowly age, starting from the organs, from inside out.

Fortunately, the three medical staff on the plane kept resuscitating his heart, preventing him from immediate death, but rescuing the heart could not stop the aging of other organs. Only a special drug from the institute could save him, which was why he was invited to Hua Continent as a specially appointed researcher.

"How’s the situation?" A man in protective clothing walked in from outside.

The several researchers involved in the treatment immediately turned around to look at him, all exclaiming, "Dean."

"Dean, Mr. Bart’s physical indicators are all normal now."

"Dean, the specialty drug you researched is really amazing."

...

The compliments didn’t cause any change in expression on the man’s face as he bent down to lift Steven Bart’s eyelids, checking his white eyeball.

They were covered in red blood vessels, the color even faintly turning black.

He then checked his skin recovery, the loose skin had already tightened, only the age spots couldn’t be removed for the time being.

After the man finished checking, he straightened up and said calmly, "Move him to the sterile room for further observation until the age spots on his face completely disappear."

"Yes, Dean."

A few people quickly tidied up the operating table and wheeled Steven Bart out of the lab.

When the man also left the lab, he happened to see Steven Bart’s assistant and student, Pu Yixia, waiting outside.

Ye Xingming glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Come to my office."

Pu Yixia, who dared to lose her temper in front of the flight attendants, was as obedient as a little lamb in front of Ye Xingming, respectfully following him to the dean’s office.

"What happened?" Ye Xingming removed his mask, placed it on the desk, and walked over to the sink to wash his hands while asking.

Pu Yixia’s hands were clenched tightly with nervousness, her voice trembling, "I don’t know either, he was fine before boarding. I carefully checked all the items the professor would come into contact with in the cabin, and there were no allergens."

Ye Xingming turned off the water, wiped his hands, returned to his desk and sat down, glanced at the data on his computer, thought for a while, and finally said as Pu Yixia was sweating nervously, "It’s okay, you can go now."

Pu Yixia heaved a sigh of relief and quickly left the office.

Until the door closed, she finally let out a heavy breath.

Dean Ye was really too severe, even though she had never seen him lose his temper, there was just this kind of intimidating aura.

Pu Yixia shivered, quickly leaving the dean’s office.

In the office, Ye Xingming carefully reviewed Steven Bart’s physical data on the computer.

His brow furrowed, as if something was puzzling him.

This time the deterioration was even more severe than before, it must have been close contact with something related to her.

Could it be that those people have come to Beijing again?
