Chapter 142 Motion Sickness
The three of them headed home after dinner at Jiang Xing’s aunt’s house. As the only person with a driver’s license, Lin Qingyu sat in the driver’s seat, Jiang Xing sat in the co-pilot and Shen Huaishi sat in the back.
While waiting for the traffic light to change, Lin Qingyu looked in the rearview mirror and saw Shen Huaishi looking pale and dazed, looking as though he still hadn’t gotten over his shock.
Lin Qingyu called out to him, “Huaishi?”
“This subordinate…” As soon as Shen Huaishi opened his mouth, a wave of nausea hit. His stomach gurgled and he quickly covered his mouth.
When the light turned green, Lin Qingyu began driving and said casually, “Could it be that you’re in heat?”
Jiang Xing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Qingyu, didn’t I explain it to you just now? The so-called ABO is just a setting in a novel. It doesn’t exist in the real world.”
Lin Qingyu said slowly, “For people in this world, “Huai’s Refusal of the Monarch” is just a novel. But Huaishi and I still came from there to here. How can you be sure that the ABO world in the book doesn’t exist somewhere?”
Jiang Xing was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly felt terrified at the mere thought of it.
“This subordinate is not in heat.” Shen Huaishi said weakly, “This subordinate is just dizzy, mo-motion sickness.”
After finding out that he easily got motion sickness, Shen Huaishi felt very depressed. He was the dignified leader of the shadow guards, a direct subordinate of the emperor. He’s able to perform astounding feats, can run through eaves and up walls as though he were flying. He was like a ghost at night. And he actually gets motion sickness! After sitting in a car for ten minutes, he starts to feel dizzy, nauseated and so weak. How is he supposed to protect the Emperor and Empress?
Jiang Xing looked back at Shen Huaishi’s half-dead appearance and said, “How about I pull over and let you rest?”
Shen Huaishi shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, “How can we waste Your Majesties time because of my matter?”
At this time they happened to passing by a park, Lin Qingyu stopped the car in the parking lot, directly ignoring his nonsense. “Go on. Out the car and get a breather.”
Shen Huaishi really couldn’t hold on anymore. He opened the car door, stepped outside and retched.
Jiang Xing watched and shook his head. “That is absolutely miserable. Next time we take Huaishi out, let’s take the subway.”
The Emperor and Empress of their nation accompanied Shen Huaishi to catch a breather in the park. Once Shen Huaishi recovered, he felt very embarrassed, “Your Majesties, please go home first. This subordinate will make his own way back.”
Lin Qingyu said, “Don’t say such stupid things. Do you know how far this place is from home?”
Shen Huaishi said, “I can use Qinggong to fly back home.”
Lin Qingyu and Jiang Xing looked at each other and said in unison, “Use what to fly back home?”
“Although this subordinates may be in a different world, I dared not allow my skills to go rusty.” If you were to ask what Shen Huaishi has the most confidence in, it was his skills.
Jiang Xing thought that Shen Huashi was joking and said with a smile, “Then fly and show me.”
“This subordinate obeys!”
That very instant, a black shadow flashed before Lin Qingyu and Jiang Xing’s eyes and Shen Huaishi disappeared. All they heard was the rustling of leaves. They looked up and saw that Shen Huaishi had landed firmly among the branches of a big tree.
It was just a couple of days into the Lunar New Year and the city was somewhat deserted. Even the subways weren’t crowded. Although it wasn’t yet late, there were hardly any pedestrians in the park. But Shen Huaishi was up so high and there were surveillance cameras in the park. It was hard for him not to be noticed.
Jiang Xing choked. He turned to ask Lin Qingyu, “When you introduced Huaishi to modern common sense, did you tell him not to fly around?”
Lin Qingyu asked back, “Is flying around against the law?”
Jiang Xing was speechless. He raised his head and said to Shen Huaishi. “You fly very well but don’t fly next time – come down quickly.”
When Shen Huaishi landed to the ground, Lin Qingyu’s face suddenly changed and his eyes widened slightly. “The police are here.”
Jiang Xing looked at the policeman who was walking towards them, yelling loudly. He sighed, “Oh, how troublesome.”
Lin Qingyu took a few steps back, hiding behind Jiang Xing. He firmly grasped Jiang Xing’s arm. With wary eyes, he looked over Jiang Xing’s shoulder. He said softly, “Jiang Xing, do you think he has a gun on him?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Xing pondered and said, “But he must at least have an electroshock weapon.”
Lin Qingyu hid deeper behind Jiang Xing. “Laogong, I don’t want to be shocked.”
“Oh, now it’s Laogong.” Jiang Xing couldn’t help laughing, “When Empress Lin was in the Dayu, he wasn’t afraid of anything; even raising poisonous snakes and scorpions. Are you so afraid of the police?”
Lin Qingyu frowned, displeased, “It isn’t the same. How can feudal society and modern society be compared? — The Qing Dynasty is long dead.”
Jiang Xing was helpless. “Are you the modern person or am I, huh, Qingyu?”
The police strode up to the three of them and said seriously, “Were you climbing trees just now?”
Shen Huaishi knew that one must bear responsibility for one’s actions. Though “disabled” he was mentally strong. “I am the only one who climbed the tree. It has nothing to do with these two.”
The police looked at them. “Please show me your ID cards.”
Jiang Xing said, “What if I don’t have my ID card with me?”
“Your ID number will do.”
The three of them reported their ID numbers and the policeman found nothing unusual. He asked, “Tell me, why are you climbing trees in the park at night?”
“May I ask,” Lin Qingyu said, feeling guilty and maintaining courtesy when addressing the police, “But which law stipulates that tourists are not allowed to climb trees in the park?”
The police sternly said, “Climbing trees is a dangerous. Not to mention that he was climbing public property!”
Jiang Xing hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Uncle, these two are new here and don’t know much about the law. I apologize to you on their behalf.”
The policeman couldn’t understand. “You’re a minor. Why are you apologizing for these two adults? Who are they?”
Jiang Xing had on a sincere and honest expression as he said, “Do you read a lot of novels? Specifically time-travel novels?”
The police uncle was silent for a moment and then said, “You better come with me to the station and I’ll arrange for you to take a drug test.”
“Actually, I was joking just now.” Jiang Xing smiled politely, “The truth is, although I’m not yet an adult, I’m mentally older than these two. — Trust me.”
