The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 128 Family Reunion
In the early morning, Gao Yang came home and his mother and sister were already asleep.

Gao Yang walked quietly through the living room, closed the bedroom door, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a reference book called "Prisoner Fitness".

The book is full of useful information, teaching people how to exercise alone in a small space, which can also strengthen the body and even achieve the effect of going to the gym to lift irons.

Gao Yang bought this book before he woke up. For a while, he felt that he was too thin and wanted to exercise. However, after buying it home, he flipped through two pages and put it on the bookshelf to gather dust.

It's just right to pick it up now. Although you can become stronger simply by improving attribute points, exercise is also important, so Gao Yang decided to take a two-pronged approach.

The existence of Chuxue and the white cat is like a sword of Damocles hanging above their heads, ready to fall at any time.

Tonight, Long gave Gao Yang another mysterious mission, and he was afraid that there would be many dangers in the future.

And I don't know when, Qing Ling's determination and perseverance to become stronger also infected him. She worked so hard without a system, so what reason did she have to be lazy?

Gao Yang put on a sports vest and shorts, took out a yoga mat, did a set of simple warm-up exercises, and then started with one-handed push-ups.

Before his awakening, Gao Yang could not do a single push-up with one hand. Now he did a set of push-ups in one go without even breathing.

Gao Yang changed his hand and did the next set.

Think about things while you exercise.

Unconsciously, an hour passed and Gao Yang finished 12 sets of medium-difficulty moves, repeating each move 10 times, and finally started sweating profusely.

He went to the bathroom to take a warm shower, put on his pajamas, and went back to his room to sleep.

Tomorrow is Saturday, it is also the Dragon Boat Festival, and the school has a day off.

Gao Yang took a short nap.

At nine o'clock in the morning, my sister Gao Xinxin opened the door of Gao Yang's room: "You big lazy boy! Get up!"

Gao Yang opened his eyes and woke up immediately, but he still pretended that he hadn't slept enough. He lazily turned over on the bed with the air-conditioning quilt between his legs.

"Get up! Get up quickly!" My sister rushed up and kicked Gao Yang on the back.

"Well..." Gao Yang performed to his heart's content: "Let me sleep for a while, 10 minutes, no, 5 minutes..."

"Don't sleep! Get up quickly!"

The younger sister held one of Gao Yang's arms with both hands and struggled to pull Gao Yang up.

Gao Yang rubbed his eyes and looked at his sister.

Gao Xinxin's baby-fat little face was filled with anger, and she pointed to a transparent plastic bag under the bed. In the bag was a small potted plant with jasmine flowers: "The courier just arrived, and someone sent you flowers!"

"Me?" Gao Yang was slightly surprised.

"Yes! Who sent it?"

Gao Yang got out of bed, lifted up the potted plant, and found a small card inside. Gao Yang took out the card and opened it. There were four graceful handwritten words: Dragon Boat Festival Health.

Gao Yang immediately closed the card and said, "Oh, a friend."

"Friends?" My sister was very unhappy, "How can we have such good friendships and send flowers during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Don't worry about it." Gao Yang rubbed his sister's head, stood up, took out the potted plant, and placed it on the desk.

"This friend must be a girl! Believe it or not, I told mom..." Halfway through her words, my sister suddenly shouted: "Wow! Brother, you, you, you..."

"What's the matter?" Gao Yang pretended to be impatient and scratched his hair: "The noise didn't stop early in the morning."

"You actually have muscles!"

Gao Yang looked down and saw that one side of his pajamas was tied into his pajamas, exposing a section of his lower abdomen, with the outline of his abdominal muscles vaguely visible.

"Humph!" Gao Yang pulled down his clothes and said very proudly: "Brother has been exercising recently, and the effect is good."

"It's time to collect flowers, and it's time to get in shape..."

My sister pointed with her big hand, "Brother, you really have a girlfriend!"

"No!" Gao Yang rolled his eyes, "I told you, I will tell you when I get a girlfriend."

"I don't believe it! You liar!"

"believe it or not."

The brother and sister quarreled and walked out of the room together.

Mom is in good spirits today. She is wearing a beautiful plain dress and light makeup, looking dignified and elegant.

It's not that Wang Po of Gao Yang is selling melons and boasting, her mother really looks young. She went shopping with Gao Xinxin alone, and some people even thought they were sisters.

"Breakfast is hot in the kitchen. Eat some quickly. We'll be leaving soon." Mom urged while arranging her hair in front of the wall mirror.

Today is the day to pick up dad from the hospital.

"Oh okay." Gao Yang walked to the kitchen, picked up a pickle bun and put it in his mouth.

……

An hour later, Gao Yang's family came to the hospital and went through the discharge procedures for his father.

Dad is optimistic by nature. Although he will most likely be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he did not feel depressed for too long and quickly accepted and adapted.

Gao Yang pushed his father's wheelchair, and the family walked out of the hospital lobby talking and laughing.

When they came to the side of the road, Gao Xinxin stopped a taxi.

Gao Yang carried his father into the back parking space, folded the wheelchair, and put it into the trunk. His movements were clean and neat, without any sloppiness.After getting in the car, my father praised Gao Yang very much.

"Our Yangyang is really becoming more and more manly!" Dad patted Gao Yang's shoulder hard: "Look, this body is much stronger than before!"

"Of course." Mom, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled happily: "My son is now the mainstay of the family, and he has become a man."

"Ha." My sister sneered from the side.

"Xinxin, what are you laughing at?" Dad asked.

"Dad, don't be so sentimental. Do you think Gao Yang became a man for us?" Xinxin pouted and exhaled through her nose: "He got a girlfriend!"

"It's not me, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Gao Yang quickly denied it for three times: "Mom and Dad, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Dad laughed loudly and said: "Yangyang, concentrate on the college entrance examination. When summer vacation comes, bring your girlfriend home and let us have a look."

Mom also smiled implicitly, "Yangyang has reached the age of falling in love, but you must not do anything that crosses the line. You must understand the rules, you know?"

"Dad! Mom! I really didn't talk about it!" Gao Yang was about to cry but had no tears.

……

As soon as the four of them entered the house, they received another big surprise.

Grandma actually came home. She was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"grandmother!"

Gao Xinxin didn't even bother to take off her shoes. She rushed up and hugged her grandma, "I miss you so much!"

Grandma touched Gao Xinxin's head and pinched her little face: "My dear granddaughter, grandma misses you too."

"Mom, why didn't you say anything when you came home? I can pick you up." Mom and Gao Yang pushed Dad's wheelchair into the entrance hall.

"No, Gao Yang's uncle came to the city to do business today, so he took me back with him." Grandma said cheerfully.

"Mom, what a joke." Dad patted the wheelchair and laughed at himself, "From now on, my son will be a loser, even less useful than you."

"I don't think you were very useful before." Grandma's mouth was disgusted, but her eyes were full of love: "From now on, just have a good rest. We still have our family, so we can't collapse."

"It's great. Today is the holiday and our family is together again."

Mom's eyes were a little red and her voice was choked. She quickly turned around and went to the kitchen, "I'll cook you a good meal today."

"I'll help wash the dishes." Gao Yang walked into the kitchen sensibly.

At noon, the family had a sumptuous lunch and rice dumplings. The five of them talked and laughed, warm and happy.

Halfway through the meal, my mother suddenly put down her chopsticks and said with emotion: "During this period, both children have become much more sensible. The one who has changed the most is Yangyang. Thanks to him, otherwise I would not have been able to survive."

"Yes." The father in the wheelchair reached out and patted his son on the shoulder: "Lao Qing told me that thanks to Yangyang, the factory is now over the difficulties."

"The main thing was that Prince Kaiken helped, and I was the one who pulled the strings." Gao Yang said.

"Yangyang, you often come home very late recently, and sometimes you stay up all night." Mom was very worried, and her tone became serious: "Are you fooling around with that Wang Zikai every day?"

Gao Yang ate his meal and nodded dullly. He had become accustomed to using Wang Zikai as a shield.

"Honey, how can this be called fooling around?" Dad spoke for Gao Yang again.

"Then what is this called?" Mom was unhappy again.

"This is called...entertainment." Dad laughed along with him.

"What does he do to socialize? He is still a student, and the most important thing is to study."

Mom sighed earnestly: "Yangyang, the college entrance examination will be held in less than a month. You must not relax. This is related to your future destiny."

Mom, something really related to my destiny has happened, that is awakening.

Gao Yang put down the bowl and chopsticks, nodded and said in assurance: "Mom, don't worry, I didn't delay my homework. My test scores have improved a lot recently."

"That's good." Mom felt a little more relieved.

In the afternoon, Gao Yang stayed in the study room and reviewed his homework unexpectedly.

After awakening, due to the increase in attribute points, Gao Yang's mind became clearer, his thinking became more agile, and his memory was correspondingly enhanced. His academic performance was already good, but now it became easier.

After dinner, the family took their father in a wheelchair for a walk in the community. He greeted everyone he met and had an optimistic and open-minded attitude. The neighbors didn't know how to comfort him.

After returning home in the evening, Gao Yang started working out.

Late at night, Gao Yang took a shower, returned to the room, turned off the lights, locked the doors and windows, and closed the curtains.

He walked to the desk, turned on the desk lamp, and carefully inspected the jasmine potted plant. There was nothing wrong with the potted plant.

He reached out and looked at the jasmine flowers one by one.

Sure enough, there was a very subtle red finger print on the petal of one of the jasmine flowers.

Gao Yang took off the petal, gently put it to his lips and held it for two seconds.

Then, a cluster of flames rose from the tip of his finger, burning the petals away.

Gao Yang lay back on the bed and soon entered a "sweet dream".
