"Indeed, spirit and flesh complement each other. To solve this problem, improving one's physical condition is certainly a method, albeit not the best one. Now that we have reached this intensity, the nutritional aspects should not only be maintained in quantity but also refined. Additionally, some herbal combinations need to be prioritized," Yang Xiaoyou thought as he walked along the riverbank towards Grandma's House, his heart filled with plans for the future.
Fortunately, Shinoda Kenichi was quite resourceful; his two hundred thousand dollars could sustain him for a while.
Yang Xiaoyou did not understand traditional Chinese medicine. He had some knowledge of bone-setting and massage from his memories, but he had never studied pharmacology.
The herbal recipes and medicinal baths he knew were all acquired through unconventional means, and he had tested their effects on his non-human body before making some adjustments.
However, his current physical condition was not comparable to what he remembered. He dared not experiment recklessly and planned to stick to a few original proportions, gradually adjusting according to his body's needs.
As he walked along the river, he turned on his phone to check the time and noticed a dozen missed calls from Liu Lianyue, with intervals that were quite frequent.
Seeing this, he dialed her back.
"Why did you turn your phone off again? What do you need your phone for?" Liu Lianyue said on the other end, sounding annoyed.
"Tsk. I was just chatting with your master. Of course I turned it off," Yang Xiaoyou replied somewhat helplessly, deciding there was no need to lie this time.
"Chatting again? You talked all night?" Liu Lianyue sounded shocked and stammered a bit.
"Uh," hearing her tone made Yang Xiaoyou feel it was a bit strange; her master looked like she was only in her fifties but must be over seventy. That was quite an age gap.
"It was just a normal chat," Yang Xiaoyou finally added after holding back. However, just as he finished speaking, she hung up on him, and he heard the dial tone.
Yang Xiaoyou couldn't understand what that fellow was thinking. Did she come to terms with it or—
"Forget it; debts are not a worry for those who owe them. Let her be," he muttered as he put away his phone and stopped considering the headache-inducing issue.
"Hey? Cousin, it's really you! Hehe, aren't you going to hang out with your classmate?" As Yang Xiaoyou entered through the gate, he happened to run into Qin Yao and several girls around her age who were laughing as they walked outside. Qin Yao looked somewhat surprised upon seeing him.
Since Yang Xiaoyou had helped them out at the banquet and had made a good impression, her perception of him had improved significantly.
"Yao Yao, this is your cousin! He’s quite handsome, even more so than your brother! How about it? Why don’t you introduce us?" The girls around her began to tease playfully.
Yang Xiaoyou paid little attention to their words and was about to greet them when he suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation, as if something were eyeing him as food.
After glancing at the group of girls and finding nothing unusual, he suddenly had a thought and turned to scan the area near the entrance. At that moment, a brown-haired man with a buzz cut was standing at the entrance, his eyes darting around, a faint smile on his face.
The man's gaze made Yang Xiaoyou feel slightly uneasy. It was as if he were assessing everything to see if it could be consumed. His eyes, when directed at Yang Xiaoyou and the girls nearby, conveyed a similar intent.
If it weren't for the complete absence of any aura of an Infected Entity, he might have thought the man was something else entirely.
Then Yang Xiaoyou realized that this fellow seemed somewhat familiar. He recalled that during the Pudong Airport incident, there had been a teaching video circulating in which this man demonstrated some kind of resolution technique. It appeared that he was an employer of his parents.
The large backpack he carried suggested he was here for leisure—perhaps he was looking for his parents.
However, the man's strange behavior drew the attention of security, who approached him for questioning.
"Hi, I'm here to find my colleagues. They invited me to China for the Spring Festival; you can't do this," said the somewhat handsome white man, casually smiling while showing off his bright white teeth.
Looking at his teeth, even Yang Xiaoyou felt a strange sense of crisis. As a human being, feeling this way about another human was indeed unsettling.
Nevertheless, since he was his parents' boss, Yang Xiaoyou turned and walked toward the entrance while dialing his mother's number.
"Oh dear, I apologize for the interruption. The food in China is truly delicious," said the white man who had been stopped at the exit as he enjoyed his meal at Yang Xiaoyou's uncle's dining table.
Surprisingly, although he spoke incessantly about food, his manners at the table were impeccable. He exuded an undeniable charm that hinted at a noble background—his parents' boss apparently held a title in England.
His presence helped draw considerable attention away from Yang Xiaoyou. Although Qin Hong seemed eager to steer the conversation toward him, she ultimately failed to do so without appearing too obvious.
Now Qin Hong appeared somewhat anxious and conflicted. Just yesterday, a senior executive from Blue Moon Group inquired about her nephew's situation. Undoubtedly, he had entered the radar of that important figure, and it seemed his impression wasn't bad.
At such times, it would be best to seize the opportunity and act decisively; however, her sister and brother-in-law didn't seem particularly interested in such assets. Her sister appeared more interested in that Liu Family Eldest Sister whom she seemed to have met once.
Being interested in that older sister was acceptable; she likely wouldn't oppose it. But if that were the case, it would be up to her to facilitate this matter.
Yang Xiaoyou had a rough understanding of his uncle's intentions regarding this influential figure. However, he naturally wouldn't concern himself with it; after all, he'd be leaving after the New Year. For now, he'd just manage to get through this situation. With his parents' boss arriving, Yang Xiaoyou estimated they wouldn't stay in the country much longer.
Sure enough, not long after finishing their meal, his parents indicated they would likely take their boss on a brief tour before heading abroad.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyou's uncle was constantly insisting that Yang Xiaoyou stay here and go back to school later, but Yang Xiaoyou refused.
Originally, staying a bit longer wasn't a big deal, but being pestered continuously became quite annoying.
On the other side, Belgrills, upon discovering Yang Xiaoyou, pulled him aside to inquire about his experiences.
He seemed particularly interested in the two large-scale virus outbreaks that Yang Xiaoyou had encountered, expressing regret that he had only participated in such events on a smaller scale.
This strange mindset made Yang Xiaoyou feel a bit uneasy. Was it really appropriate for his parents to leave him with this fellow?
Out of a desire to protect his parents indirectly, Yang Xiaoyou shared several characteristics of Virus Carriers during their conversation. Just in case this fellow encountered one again in the future, it would be good to have some knowledge on hand; he just hoped it would never be needed.
"Uncle and Auntie, I'm Yang Xiaoyou's classmate. I came to pay my New Year’s greetings," unexpectedly, Liu Lianyue arrived at the door. It was unclear how she had found out the address.
Upon entering, she saw Yang Xiaoyou chatting animatedly with a White Man and her expression turned peculiar again. Her gaze occasionally darted toward Yang Xiaoyou's backside.
