Chapter 40: A White Eagle?
Over the next few days, Mǐ Qiū took a good long rest. It wasn’t until she had fully recovered that she resumed her hypnosis sessions.
Of course, Officer Hè had also received the data Mǐ Qiū sent later and found that all the values were within the passing range. Although Mǐ Qiū felt a tinge of reluctance after Zhù Shāngchén left, she also knew very well that Zhù Shāngchén, Shěn Qīnghuái, and the others would come back; they were just leaving the island temporarily.
Thanks to her good performance this time, Mǐ Qiū was successfully promoted to a C-class Guide. Of course, this was still just a title. If she worked a little harder, she could potentially become an A-class Guide in the future.
This naturally made Mǐ Qiū very happy, or rather, this news filled her with even more motivation. Finally, Officer Hè also said that she would eventually welcome a third batch of guests. Their arrival time on the island was uncertain, so she needed to be prepared at all times.
At present, Mǐ Qiū already had enough headaches dealing with the Sentinels on the island. If a few more came, she really didn’t know how she would cope. Since she hadn’t been feeling well these days, she just stayed inside her room.
Sù Zé Chū, Hè Chí, and Qiū Chú Huán helped bring her things like fruit whenever they were free, along with items that could make Mǐ Qiū feel comfortable both mentally and physically. She was a bit overwhelmed by the variety of food, repeatedly saying “okay, okay.” After accepting the items, she found that eating indeed made her feel much better, at least not as weak as before.
Róng Liáng: “Guide Mǐ, you haven’t come to my place for the past few days.”
Mǐ Qiū had only come over because she needed to hypnotize Róng Liáng tonight. She knew her explanation would be useless.
“Then I’ll come to your place for the next two days.”
Róng Liáng: “Are you serious, Guide Mǐ?”
Anyway, she had to hypnotize him, so coming here was normal.
At this time, Luò Shǎng Qín walked into the hallway of the rooms and caught a glimpse of Mǐ Qiū.
“Guide Mǐ, why are you here instead of sitting in the living room?”
Mǐ Qiū: “Oh, Mr. Róng and I have some things to discuss.”
Luò Shǎng Qín: “Is it something I can’t hear?”
Róng Liáng: “Captain Luò, the next subject for Guide Mǐ’s hypnosis is me, not you, naturally. Guide Mǐ and I need to communicate more.”
“Then it seems I’m being a third wheel now. I’d better leave.”
Luò Shǎng Qín said through gritted teeth.
After he left, Róng Liáng said, “Guide Mǐ, we won’t be disturbed anymore. If you have any needs, just say so directly.”
Mǐ Qiū stood there and sure enough, saw her portrait hanging right in the center of his bedroom. So she asked, “Do you intend to keep it hanging here?”
“Of course. Unless Guide Mǐ doesn’t want it here? This way, I can see Guide Mǐ as soon as I open my eyes every day.”
Mǐ Qiū really couldn’t say much about this, so she said, “Actually, hanging it like this is fine too.”
At noon, Mǐ Qiū stayed there to eat, but someone came from the other side to ask for her.
Qiū Chú Huán poked his head out from the first-floor window: “Is Guide Mǐ Qiū here?”
Luò Shǎng Qín, who was sitting in the hall, saw this scene and told him bluntly: “Guide Mǐ is not here.”
“I clearly saw her enter your house this morning. I’m taking Guide Mǐ back now.”
“There’s a very sumptuous feast waiting for her over there. Guide Mǐ will definitely like it very much.”
“Guide Mǐ said she’s staying with us for two days for now. If you have any questions, go ask her.”
Didn’t he just say Mǐ Qiū wasn’t there? Sure enough, you can’t listen to this guy’s one-sided story. Mǐ Qiū hadn’t noticed at first; she was on the second-floor balcony at the moment. Then she saw this scene and hurriedly trotted downstairs to ask them what was going on.
After understanding the whole story clearly, Mǐ Qiū thoroughly understood. Mǐ Qiū had to tell Qiū Chú Huán that this was the fact; she would be staying here for two days. However, she also said she would go back afterward and told him not to worry about her.
Although Qiū Chú Huán was very reluctant, he still listened to Mǐ Qiū’s opinion, so he had to leave first.
Both men had finished cooking, so Mǐ Qiū sat down. She hesitated for a moment. Róng Liáng said, “Doesn’t Guide Mǐ love the desserts I make the most?”
So she took a piece of dessert to eat first, and by the way, took a piece of dessert made by Luò Shǎng Qín. How to put it? Although Luò Shǎng Qín’s cooking was also quite good, it was definitely still far behind Róng Liáng. Balancing the scales, Mǐ Qiū could only say both were good.
Róng Liáng looked serious and said, “Guide Mǐ, you have to judge the pre-meal desserts.”
“Actually, your cooking skills have their own pros and cons.”
“Then I know my shortcomings. Where am I worse than him?”
Since Róng Liáng asked her, Mǐ Qiū answered, “It’s the plating. Look, his plating looks better, okay?”
After all, he was also into art, how could he not have thought of this? “Guide Mǐ, I didn’t expect you to have so much insight into plating. Then why don’t we have another topic to talk about tonight?”
Luò Shǎng Qín: “I’m already full. You guys continue eating.”
After a long while, Mǐ Qiū said she was going to the bathroom, then went to check on Luò Shǎng Qín, asking him if he was full already, saying it wasn’t okay not to eat.
Luò Shǎng Qín was in the room and said, “Some things are out of sight, out of mind.”
Mǐ Qiū: “How about this, I’ll put the food in your room.”
So she did just that. The man didn’t refuse her because of this. When she had put all the food in his room and was about to leave, Luò Shǎng Qín said, “Guide Mǐ, you don’t need to care about me so much. I don’t mind. If you treat me too well, I won’t get used to it instead.”
With so many guests, Mǐ Qiū thought she definitely wouldn’t be able to take care of everyone perfectly, so she said to him, “I didn’t arrange these things well. Captain Luò, make sure to keep in a good mood!”
“Guide Mǐ doesn’t need to tell me these things. I understand everything. It’s just that I don’t get along well with the person outside. I’ll be fine once I get used to it.”
After Mǐ Qiū finished speaking, she didn’t say anything else to him. She left hurriedly, went down the stairs, and finally ate this lunch.
Late at night, Mǐ Qiū walked into Róng Liáng’s room.
Seeing her expression, Róng Liáng asked if she had something to tell him. Mǐ Qiū said, “It’s best if Mr. Róng and Captain Luò get along harmoniously in the future.”
“Okay, I won’t give Guide Mǐ such a headache again.”
“Then let’s take it step by step.”
Mǐ Qiū thus officially began to enter the hypnotic dreamscape. It was a white eagle. After the white eagle spread its wings, it actually felt much larger than her lying down. Mǐ Qiū couldn’t describe the feeling; she just felt this scene was very illusory and didn’t seem real.
She stayed alone under the tree where the white eagle had perched. She had seen all kinds of scenes, so she called its nickname again, but the white eagle still didn’t move, only shaking its head left and right like that. Mǐ Qiū signaled it to come down. The white eagle flapped its wings, swooped down directly, and then disappeared into the sky ten thousand meters high again. Mǐ Qiū couldn’t find its figure.
Not long after, it swayed and landed on the ground, stopping beside Mǐ Qiū. Looking at it like this, it was actually much, much taller than her standing up. Mǐ Qiū looked at the white eagle like this, and staying beside it, she unexpectedly felt a little scared too. Then it suddenly grabbed her clothes, and Mǐ Qiū was about to fall over instantly.
“Can you do it or not? What are you doing?”
It turned out she discovered that the white eagle was struggling to get her onto its back. Mǐ Qiū couldn’t stand on its body, so the white eagle had to use its claws to wrap her whole person directly with its claws. Mǐ Qiū was stunned with fright.
