Qi Xingzhou had a very high IQ and strong learning abilities, or else he wouldn’t have been able to complete scientific research experiments independently.
He never used to like interacting with people; it was simply that he himself didn’t want to do it. But when he actually became interested in communication and wanted to learn, he learned very quickly.
Take, for example, the way he never initiated conversations before, yet when he had just arrived, he had already started actively calling Jiang Ning by name.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s concern, Qi Xingzhou initially wanted to shake his head numbly but then a scene he had seen on the computer suddenly came to mind. His intended nod halted, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a word of grievance emerged from his mouth, "Pain, not good."
If anyone had looked through Qi Xingzhou’s video browsing history, they would discover that the expression on his face at that moment was exactly the same as the green tea antagonist on TV, even the degree of his frown was identical.
[Wow wow wow! The handsome guy is acting spoiled!]
[Hahaha, how does he manage to be both cool and tender?]
[Pfft, this guy seems a bit green tea]
Ignoring the other audience members’ teasing, even the Qi family members sitting on the couch watching the live broadcast were stunned.
Ji Shuang: Is that the person frowning and calling out in pain my son who is always expressionless?
Qi Chen, with a poker face, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose: Although my brother doesn’t go out, he lives on an entire floor by himself, equipped with all the facilities, including a private gym. Qi Xingzhou would either not run at all, or once he starts, he runs more than ten kilometers. The stretch he walked last night should be a breeze for him. Otherwise, how could he grow so tall?
Qi Jingshan: ...Absolutely shameful.
Hearing Qi Xingzhou’s reply, Jiang Ning didn’t sense anything wrong.
In Jiang Ning’s impression, Qi Xingzhou was a reserved person who disliked expressing himself. Although he was tall, because of his dislike of going out and interacting with people, Jiang Ning had subconsciously tagged Qi Xingzhou as "physically weak" in her mind.
She didn’t find it strange at all, and even carefully taught Qi Xingzhou how to massage his own calves and feet: "Walking too much can be very tiring. Before you go to sleep tonight, you can rub your shins and soles to relax."
Qi Xingzhou obediently nodded.
Nong Chun, carrying a titanium pot, passed by the two of them and greeted Jiang Ning: "I can’t sleep, I’m going to take a look at the sea."
"Mm-hmm." This time it was Jiang Ning nodding to Nong Chun.
Jiang Ning took out the map from her pocket and studied it carefully.
Although she didn’t know who the other mysterious guest still in the safe house was, judging by his actions of staying in there, the living conditions and resources in the safe house were probably much better than where they were now.
The furthest Jiang Ning had been in this forest was to the stream with Nong Chun to fetch water yesterday. The water they brought back yesterday was almost used up in these two days. If she shared a bottle with Qi Xingzhou, she would only have enough water to drink tomorrow and would have to go into the forest to fetch water again the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Jiang Ning carefully studied the map drawn by the program team; the direction to fetch water was the same as that to the safe house. After fetching water the day after tomorrow, would she have to come back here again?
The resources here were becoming scarcer, and the accommodations were not good. Instead of waiting here for the program team, whose arrival time was unknown, it would be better to head directly to the safe house... It’s just, it would be hard on Qi Xingzhou. He had just run over, and now he would have to go back with her.
Jiang Ning put away the map and patted Qi Xingzhou, who was beside her: "You rest well tonight and tomorrow."
Qi Xingzhou blinked in confusion: "...Oh."
Seeing Jiang Ning get up, Qi Xingzhou also immediately stood.
Jiang Ning walked to the tent, picked up the chicken and rabbit tied to the rock, and planned to go to the sea to deal with them.
Qi Xingzhou followed Jiang Ning like a little shadow. Looking at the little rabbit Jiang Ning was holding, Qi Xingzhou suddenly spoke up: "I know where there are many of these kinds of little rabbits."
Jiang Ning thought he might have encountered them in the forest when he came over yesterday and replied: "Can you catch them?"
Qi Xingzhou seriously responded: "No need to catch, I can call them over."
[What a pity, such a good-looking guy is actually stupid]
[No wonder I always felt something off about him, turns out it’s a developmental issue with his brain...]
[To seriously say such a thing, this must be an IQ issue, right?]
[It hits hard, is this what happens when God opens the window of beauty for him, but then closes the door of intelligence?]
