Chapter 266: The Reason Why Big Brother Is Unwilling to Go Home

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He had already lost the chance to go home.

The reason for his return this time was twofold: Aluo insisted on coming with him, and he had received news of Gu Shiyan’s strange illness and his limited time left.

He only wanted to quietly meet them from a distance, without any contact.

Being seen by Gu Shiyan in the hospital was something he had never expected.

Since Gu Shiyan believed that he had died in the accident, it was best to leave it that way. It was for the best, for both Gu Shiyan and himself.

Luo Miao squinted as she observed Gu Zhixing from head to toe and spoke slowly, “Is it because you’re sick?”

She had noticed before that there seemed to be something wrong with Gu Zhixing’s body, but she couldn’t determine what exactly it was.

Starfall Herb was a life-saving herb, and Aluo had always wanted it, which meant that his condition was not optimistic.

If it was because of this, he would rather let Gu Shiyan believe he was dead than go back, and this reason would be justifiable.

Gu Zhixing turned his head to look at her. “Miss Luo, if you truly care for

Shiyan, then please don’t tell him about me.”

Luo Miao stood up and walked straight towards him. “Give me your hand.”

Aluo, who was happily eating by the side, heard this and immediately activated his internal radar. He rushed to stand between them, looking alert. “What do you want?”

Luo Miao was speechless. “I’m not interested in him, you don’t need to be so guarded against me. I just want to take his pulse and see his current condition. While Starfall Herb is indeed a life-saving herb, it’s not a cure for all situations.”

“Taking his pulse? Are you a doctor?” Aluo asked anxiously.

Over the past few years, he had studied various medical practices exclusive to different countries, including some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.

“I know a little bit,” Luo Miao replied.

Aluo immediately grabbed Gu Zhixing’s hand and presented it to her. “Here.” Luo Miao placed four fingers on his wrist and quickly withdrew her hand.

“How is it?” Aluo asked eagerly.

Luo Miao pondered for a moment. “Two years ago, didn’t your bones start dissolving for no reason?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Aluo nodded vigorously. “Two years ago, one day while we were playing tennis, his arm suddenly broke. When we went to the hospital for treatment, we discovered that one of the bones in his forearm had mysteriously disappeared halfway.”

At the beginning, the doctors thought it might be an issue with the CT scan, so they had him take another one. However, even after the second scan, they still couldn’t find anything. Later, they performed a bone transplant, taking a small portion of bone from his thigh and transplanting it into his arm.

But when we went for a follow-up examination a month later, we found that the transplanted bone had disappeared partially again.

Afterward, we traveled to many countries and consulted numerous doctors, trying various treatments. Although the rate of bone dissolution slowed down, it didn’t stop. Moreover, the dissolution spread to more locations. Within two years, his leg bones and rib bones started to dissolve one after another.” Luo Miao said directly, “Ghost bone.”

“What? This is related to ghosts?” Aluo was shocked and looked at Gu Zhixing with some fear. Then he anxiously turned to Luo Miao, “Where are the ghosts? Can you… can you use the same methods you used to catch monsters on the mountain before? Should we go to some remote mountains to find some masters or something?”

Gu Zhixing furrowed his brow. Luo Miao had already deceived them twice before. Was she using some supernatural or ghostly claims to deceive them again?

Luo Miao shook her head. “It has nothing to do with ghosts. It’s just a metaphor to describe the bones disappearing mysteriously, like ghosts.”

Aluo breathed a sigh of relief. “Do you have any solutions? Does Starfall Herb work at all?”

Luo Miao looked at Gu Zhixing and said, “Starfall Herb doesn’t work. This disease is extremely rare, and there are probably not more than two hundred cases worldwide. So far, there’s no cure.”

Upon hearing this, Aluo became anxious. “Isn’t there that miraculous acupuncture technique in traditional Chinese medicine? Can’t that be used?”

Gu Zhixing held his hand to comfort his emotions. The phrase “no cure” was something he had heard many times, and he was not surprised by this outcome. ‘Miss Lu, thank you for coming here today. Now that you know the reason, please keep it a secret from Shiyan after you leave. Otherwise, he will have to face separation and death again in a few years. Instead, it’s better to let him believe that I’m dead now to avoid causing him more pain..”
