Chapter 563: Chapter 560: My Turn to Faint
Chapter 560 [Time for Me to Faint]
Morning.
In June, Jinling is already entering its hot season.
The central air conditioner in the room slowly emits cool air, keeping the room temperature at 26 degrees Celsius.
With silent technology, the noise from the air conditioner is almost inaudible.
Chen Nuo slowly raised half of his body from the bed.
The room remained dark under the function of blackout curtains, but some light still found its way in through the cracks.
Chen Nuo felt a smooth and soft thigh pressing on his leg, reached out gently to feel it, found it smooth to the touch, and cautiously moved it aside.
As Chen Nuo moved, the soft body that had been cuddled up next to him shifted slightly and mumbled something, then turned over.
Chen Nuo took a deep breath.
Ah, my back hurts.
Then he silently recited a line from the sage’s sayings.
In the company of three, one can learn from the other.
Alright, time to check out some furniture today.
When I bought the bed, I was too conservative; it’s not big enough.
I need to get one specially made that’s three meters wide.
As soon as he moved, the soft body on the left side murmured softly.
"Ah~ you squashed my hair."
Huh? Sun Keke’s voice?
No way!
I remember you slept on the right side last night, didn’t you?
And on the right, Lu Xixi had already opened her eyes: "Honey~ I want some water."
Chen Nuo immediately smiled apologetically.
Yeah, feeling a bit sheepish.
A defeated man can’t afford to be tough!
He tiptoed off the bed, barefoot, heading to the door and carefully opened it.
On the bed, Sun Keke spoke too: "I, I want water too."
"Alright, alright."
·
In the kitchen, Chen Nuo filled a pitcher with cool water and washed two cups.
Walking barefoot upstairs back to the room, he opened the door to find it already lit.
The curtains were drawn open, and the large floor-to-ceiling window faced the lake outside.
Chen Nuo poured two glasses of water, serving the two ancestors who drank it up, and then asked with a smile: "What would you like for breakfast?"
Sun Keke finished her water and chuckled shyly: "I want fried rice with eggs."
Huh?
Fried rice with eggs in the morning?
Well, it’s doable. Chen Nuo remembered there was half a pot of rice left in the fridge from last night, which could be fried.
Lu Xixi thought for a moment: "Honey~ I want lamb skewers."
Chen Nuo: "....."
Lamb skewers in the morning?
Before Chen Nuo could speak, Sun Keke’s eyes lit up: "Ah, I want some too!"
Alright!
Chen Nuo responded cheerfully: "Okay, wait, we have lamb at home. Since lighting a fire takes time, I’ll just grill it on the stove for you."
Lu Xixi laughed: "Then I also want a bowl of fried rice. Only eating meat without carbs isn’t healthy."
Chen Nuo nodded helplessly.
You know about health?
Who in their right mind eats grilled lamb in the morning?
Before heading downstairs, he peeked into the next room to check on his daughter.
Chen Yiyi wasn’t awake yet.
Actually, she woke up once in the middle of the night, and Lu Xixi went over to lull her back to sleep.
Chen Nuo went over, checked the air conditioning temperature, and gently touched her hands and feet.
He adjusted the small blanket to make sure it covered her belly button...
Speaking of which, how did this become a nationwide consensus—covering the child’s belly button?
Just after he finished checking and was about to leave, suddenly a voice dropped into his ear.
"Daddy~"
Chen Nuo turned his head abruptly.
The daughter woke up, but... didn’t speak.
At this moment, a voice appeared again.
This time Chen Nuo was sure! This voice wasn’t heard; it was directly within his consciousness!
"Daddy~"
Chen Nuo’s expression changed, he went over and picked up his daughter: "Sweetie... was it you speaking to me?"
"Daddy~"
Damn!
Having lived two lives, Chen Yanluo almost burst into tears on the spot!
"Say it one more time!"
"Daddy~"
"Say it again!"
Hey? Why is the daughter rolling her eyes?
So young and already knows how to roll eyes, who taught her this?!
Chen Nuo pulled his daughter close, planting kisses on her.
Then he heard the voice again.
"Milk~"
Chen Nuo laughed heartily, carrying his daughter to the master bedroom.
"Guess what! I’ve discovered something amazing! My daughter can communicate with consciousness!!
My gosh!! When Seed said my daughter had extraordinary talent, even surpassing mine and Lu Xixi’s, I thought he was just talking nonsense!
How could she be so young, already able to communicate with consciousness!!"
Lu Xixi and Sun Keke were also shocked!
Being special ability users, they obviously understood the astonishing nature of this.
Lu Xixi seriously hugged the daughter, forehead touching hers.
After a moment, Lu Xixi opened her eyes and exhaled, eyes a little moist: "Honey~ our daughter really can do it!"
Chen Nuo laughed aloud: "My daughter is a genius! The genius of geniuses! Damn, I discovered consciousness communication only after I was ten years old!!"
Sun Keke slapped Chen Nuo: "Don’t curse in front of the child!"
·
The morning saw Chen Nuo making fried rice and grilling lamb skewers.
So full of energy!
Don’t ask why so happy, just ask because [my daughter is a genius]!
This precious kid!
Chen Yanluo suddenly felt that drinking urine would be no problem! For such a precious kid, doing it every day wouldn’t even make him frown!
Turning around to see the two women...
Sigh, what a sight.
One with a mouthful of rice from fried rice.
Another with a face smeared with oil from lamb skewers.
Let it be, let it be, both are good kids too.
Such a wonderful daughter... isn’t she great...
Such a wonderful daughter, just wanting lamb skewers in the morning, is no big deal!
Chen Nuo was absolutely elated!!
While doing the dishes, he exerted so much force he crushed a bowl!
Then cleaned the kitchen, grinning from ear to ear.
After finishing up around the house, Chen Nuo joyfully ran back to the room to shower.
Under the shower, he sang a few lines excitedly!
While showering, Chen Nuo felt a bit dizzy but didn’t think much of it, just assuming it was the steam, feeling a bit suffocated.
But coming out after the shower, the room had two women playing with the child.
Sun Keke casually turned her head to glance at Chen Nuo and suddenly her expression shifted. She looked twice and exclaimed, "Hey? Chen Nuo! You... come here!"
Chen Nuo walked over with a smile and reached out to touch Sun Keke’s face, but she slapped his hand away.
Fatty Sun had a serious expression on his face: "Don’t mess around! This is serious business."
"What’s up?"
"You..." Sun Keke scrutinized Chen Nuo seriously, then pulled Lu Xixi over to have a look as well.
"Sister Lu, look!
Doesn’t it seem like Chen Nuo has lost some weight?"
Lu Xixi, who was originally relaxed, examined Chen Nuo closely and then showed a hint of surprise: "It does seem like he’s lost some weight!"
They hurriedly got up to find a scale and had Chen Nuo step on it.
As soon as they looked...
Chen Nuo was also amazed.
His weight was down by twenty pounds!
Twenty whole pounds!
Chen Nuo stepped off the scale, took a deep breath, and with a serious expression, extended a finger.
Slowly, a strand of spiritual force tentacle extended from his fingertip, inch by inch.
Though a bit weak, it was at least a formed spiritual force tentacle.
"I... my strength is starting to recover a bit," Chen Nuo said seriously to the two women.
Then with a gentle touch of his fingertip, a toy belonging to Chen Yiyi on the ground slowly floated up.
The two women also showed surprised expressions.
Was this... hope that Chen Nuo could return to his original self?!
Even though everyone cared deeply for Chen Nuo, they didn’t mind his current three-hundred-pound physique.
But if given the chance to return to the appearance of that handsome young man, who wouldn’t want that?
Would you want to sleep with a three-hundred-pound fatty or a handsome young man?
Is there even a question?
At this moment... suddenly, as Chen Yiyi watched the toy in front of her float up, her eyes suddenly lit up.
In the midst of their excitement, none of the three adults noticed when Chen Yiyi also raised her hand, fixing her gaze on a toy doll on the floor.
Instantly, the toy doll floated up...
No, it shot straight up and heavily smacked Chen Nuo in the face.
Chen Nuo was startled, and the three adults froze for a moment.
"It wasn’t me." Sun Keke immediately shook her head.
But Lu Xixi realized it, widening her eyes as she turned to look at her daughter.
Chen Yiyi was completely unaware, laughing merrily. She waved at another toy doll on the floor.
Whoosh!
This time, the toy doll flew straight to the ceiling.
Then it started swirling around the room!
All three of them stood there with their mouths agape.
Lu Xixi coughed lightly, "Honey~ when you first awakened your ability, how old were you when you could use telekinesis to control objects?"
Chen Nuo breathed heavily, was about to speak when suddenly, thud!
Chen Nuo closed his eyes and fell headlong onto the floor!
Lu Xixi and Sun Keke exclaimed in unison, scrambling to help Chen Nuo up.
But Chen Nuo, eyes tightly shut, had already fainted.
Lu Xixi quickly checked Chen Nuo, finding all his vital signs normal, his consciousness space clear, and there was no disruption.
But he just fainted.
Sun Keke pointed at Chen Nuo: "Sister Lu, look! Chen Nuo, it seems he’s slimmed down even more!!"
·
Chen Nuo woke up two hours later.
Lu Xixi and Sun Keke stayed by his side the whole time, and after he woke up, Lu Xixi quickly used spiritual power to check him.
Fortunately, everything was normal.
Moreover, Chen Nuo’s spiritual power seemed to have recovered a bit more.
"I feel the enormous power that was pressing down on my consciousness space has started to loosen up," Chen Nuo exhaled, frowning, "But... when Seed told me about it, he didn’t mention that recovering would make you pass out. And also, he said I’d lose weight gradually, this... how could it be this fast?"
Indeed, after waking up, Chen Nuo checked his weight again.
He had lost another ten pounds since passing out.
In just one day, he’d dropped thirty pounds!
The three of them discussed it for a while, but couldn’t figure out any conclusions.
Chen Nuo remained fairly calm: "Seed told me there wouldn’t be any danger. Besides... Lu Xixi checked me too, everything’s normal. It’s probably because I’ve been in a state of energy overload for too long, and suddenly digesting part of it made my body have a stress response. I’m fine now, so I should be okay."
That made sense, and besides... Seed had no reason to harm Chen Nuo.
Lu Xixi and Sun Keke were slightly reassured by this.
Regardless, Chen Nuo was at least beginning to noticeably slim down.
Once things loosen up, there should be gradual progress daily thereafter.
Restoring to his former self seemed within reach?
But then, later in the afternoon, another unexpected event occurred at home.
Their adorable daughter who awakened her special abilities, Chen Yiyi... suddenly became unruly and unyielding.
Since her birth, the daughter had always been very obedient and never noisy.
But that afternoon, when Lu Xixi was coaxing the daughter to sleep, she found to her dismay that Chen Yiyi was absolutely unwilling to stay in her arms.
Once she puts the daughter down, Chen Yiyi would toddle over to Chen Nuo’s side and wrap her tiny arms around his leg.
She wouldn’t let go.
Then they discovered that Chen Yiyi had suddenly become extremely attached to Chen Nuo.
Neither her mother Lu Xixi nor Sun Keke, whom Chen Yiyi previously adored, could hold the child anymore.
As soon as they picked her up, she’d howl and cry.
Once they put her down, she’d go straight to hug Daddy Chen Nuo.
Only when Chen Nuo held her would Chen Yiyi calm down.
But he couldn’t let her go!
Even during her afternoon nap, when Chen Nuo thought she was asleep and tried to lay her down on the bed...
As soon as he let go, his daughter would open her eyes, pout her little mouth, and start crying.
Helplessly, Chen Nuo had to pick her up again.
So Chen Yiyi was practically stuck on Chen Nuo!
This left Chen Nuo unable to do anything, having to hold his daughter constantly.
Today’s dinner at home was reluctantly prepared by Sun Keke.
And the cleaning was done by Lu Xixi.
Chen Nuo, looking a bit odd at his daughter, pondered deeply, and suddenly had an idea.
He called over Lu Xixi and Sun Keke.
Chen Nuo instructed, "I think I’ve discovered something and want to run a test. You two keep an eye on it."
With that, Chen Nuo held his daughter in one arm and took a deep breath.
He signaled toward the bedside phone, attracting Chen Yiyi’s attention.
Chen Nuo flicked a finger!
The phone suddenly vanished on the spot, reappearing a few meters away!
Item teleportation!
It was one of the special abilities Chen Nuo had mastered. This ability was acquired after gaining the "space" power.
But currently, with Chen Nuo’s limited recovery, this teleportation could only manage a few meters.
Chen Yiyi indeed was captivated, eyes wide, bursting into giggles.
Chen Nuo beckoned with his fingers, and the phone returned to his hand, then...
He handed the phone to his daughter, letting her hold it with both her little hands.
Chen Yiyi blinked blankly, realizing after a while.
Grabbing the phone with her two small hands, eyes still fixed on the distance...
Suddenly!
The phone disappeared!
But it didn’t just teleport a few meters...
Instead...
From outside the window, more than ten meters away, there was a splash as something fell into the lake!
Lu Xixi jumped up, face full of shock.
And Chen Nuo, with a wry smile, voice faint: "It’s not over... Now, it’s my turn to faint..."
With those words, Chen Nuo tilted back and fainted onto the bed.
