The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 276 Heatstroke
Chuxue is a ghost, so Gao Yang tacitly agrees that she is very strong.

But if she was just an ordinary cat in her cat state, it was entirely possible that she would suffer from heat stroke if she was kept in a suitcase for such a long time on such a hot day.

Gao Yang felt distressed and blamed himself: "Chu Xue, if you feel uncomfortable, you can scream, I will hear you."

Gao Yang took Chuxue out of the suitcase and placed it under the air conditioner. He then placed the bottle of ice Coke given to him by Wang Zikai on its forehead and applied ice to it.

"Meow."

The white cat blinked at Gao Yang and meowed softly.

Gao Yang's heart melted immediately: "Chu Xue, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

"Meow."

Chuxue screamed again, and at the same time, its white hair began to grow and swell, spreading messily like seaweed. Then, these hairs began to melt, turning into bursts of white mist without any smell.

She won't...have to transform!

"Wait a minute! Just wait a minute..."

Gao Yang was in a hurry, got up and ran. His little toe accidentally hit the corner of the bed, and he stumbled and almost fell.

He hissed, stumbled into the private bathroom in the room, and closed the door with a bang.

Two seconds later, Gao Yang covered his mouth with both hands.

"Ow—"

My little toes hit the foot of the bed, it was so painful!
Half a minute later, Gao Yang gradually calmed down and digested the pain.

He shouted through the toilet door: "Chu Xue?"

"Ah."

A girl's weak voice came from outside.

Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up a bathrobe and walked out of the door with his eyes closed.

Gao Yang judged Chuxue's general direction and threw out the bathrobe in his hand: "Put it on."

"It's uncomfortable if you don't wear it." Chuxue said coquettishly.

"Be obedient!" Gao Yang emphasized his tone, like an elder.

"Oh."

The sound of the bathrobe rubbing against the skin and the sound of soft footsteps could be heard in my ears, "Okay."

Gao Yang opened his eyes and saw Chu Xue sitting on the bed with her legs stretched out. Her delicate body was wearing a large, ill-fitting bathrobe, revealing her fair shoulders and slender collarbones.

She was covered in sweat, her silver hair was wet, and strands stuck to her white to transparent skin.

Chuxue's face was pale with weakness, and her red eyes were still beautiful, but much dimmed, as if covered with a layer of fog.

"First snow."

Gao Yang asked softly: "Are you okay? Are you suffering from heat stroke?"

Chuxue shook her head gently.

Gao Yang sat down next to Chu Xue and reached out to touch Chu Xue's forehead. It was frighteningly hot.

"You have a fever?" he asked.

"No," Chuxue blinked, "Ghosts can't get sick."

"Then what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Gao Yang was worried.

Chuxue stopped talking. She fell softly towards Gao Yang and rested her head in Gao Yang's arms: "I'm fine, I'll just take a nap and I'll be fine."

Chuxue slowly closed her eyes.

Gao Yang didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing her, he just looked at Chu Xue.

Chuxue fell asleep almost immediately, her breathing soon became soft and even, the sweat on her body also stopped, and her skin was dry and white.After a while, Gao Yang gently touched her forehead again. The temperature also dropped, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Yang gently hugged Chu Xue, placed her on the bed, and tidied her messy silver hair to prevent her from being uncomfortable if her hair was pressed down while sleeping.

Then Gao Yang found a pen and sticky notes and left a message for her: "Chu Xue, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you in the evening. Just stay in the room, don't run around, don't make any noise."

Gao Yang put the note under the water glass in front of the bedside table and took one last deep look at Chu Xue.

Gao Yang closed the suitcase, opened the door, and went downstairs.

Wang Zikai became impatient with the wait: "Is it going to take so long to pack things?"

"Went to the toilet by the way." Gao Yang lied. He was a little worried, so he simply pulled Wang Zikai over and said, "Come to the hotel over there with me, and we'll have lunch together."

"Okay!" Wang Zikai said happily.

The two got on the motorboat and returned to their previous residence.

When Gao Yang returned to his hotel with his suitcase, his mother was about to have a seizure. When she saw Wang Zikai coming with her, she couldn't say anything else.

Gao Yang's father was embarrassed: "Xiao Kai, how was the college entrance examination?"

"Oh, I dropped out of school and didn't take the college entrance examination." Wang Zikai answered very frankly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Oh haha." Gao Yang's father smiled and changed the subject, "Xiao Kai, your parents are very busy at work, why don't they come to play together?"

"Oh, I'm divorced and have a new family, so I don't have time to spend with me." Wang Zikai blurted out.

The smile on Gao Yang's father's face froze: After all, before his car accident, he was always socializing with clients, and he claimed to be a master at chatting. He had only retired for a few days, so how could he become such a genius at chatting?

"Wang Zikai, do you want to have lunch together?" Gao Xinxin walked out of the room. She had playful twin tails, a cool vest and hot pants.

"Okay." Wang Zikai waved the mobile phone in his hand, "I checked, and there is an underwater western restaurant. You can go to the spa after eating. It's not expensive, only 7000 per person!"

The living room was quiet for a second.

Only 7000?

Please translate for me what is "only 7000"!
Gao Yang resisted the urge to curse, "Forget it, let's eat separately..."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Gao Xinxin behind him. Gao Xinxin looked at Wang Zikai with a smile: "Okay, will you pay for it?"

"Xinxin!" The mother on the side turned green, "How could..."

"Okay!" Wang Zikai agreed without taking it seriously at all.

"It doesn't matter to us. The main reason is that we are afraid that you will be bored alone. We just want to accompany you." Gao Xinxin got the advantage and behaved well.

"Xinxin, you are so considerate!" Wang Zikai was very moved and looked at Gao Yang with some disgust: "Gao Yang, you must learn from your sister in the future!"

Gao Yang ignored Wang Zikai, turned his head, and looked at his father in the wheelchair. He felt complicated for a moment: Gao Xinxin, this damn girl, who did she follow this character?
A trace of embarrassment flashed across her mother's face, but she still felt something was wrong, "Xiao Kai, we appreciate your kindness..."

"Xiao Kai! Grandma wants to eat ice cream!"

Grandma came out waving a colorful leaflet, "You're talking about this store, right? Look, there's free ice cream in many colors, you can eat whatever you want, haha."

Mom nervously grabbed grandma's restaurant flyer and took a closer look, "Mom, you have to buy a VIP ticket before you can eat at will..."

"Isn't it just a coupon? Buy it, one for each person!" Wang Zikai smiled brightly: "The most important thing is that grandma is happy!"

Gao Yang met his father's eyes again: Now he knows who Gao Xinxin is following!

Mom knew very well that her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she smiled sheepishly: "Then let's just thank Xiao Kai."

"Auntie, there's no need to be polite!"

Wang Zikai put his arm around Gao Yang's shoulders: "Gao Yang and I are half-brothers! Don't talk about two families!"
