Collapse: Raising a Wife Since Childhood

However, this is still far from the requirement to transplant the stigmata, and there is even more terrifying training to continue.

"There's a smell of anesthetic drugs in the air." Cecilia was very sensitive to smells, and she could tell immediately when the smell in the air changed. But the little boy was using his willpower to persevere, and there was no way he could reduce his breathing.

"Yeah." Shen Yunie responded reluctantly. His mind began to become blurred under the double torture of pressure and the high-speed treadmill. "Not bad..."

The faint pungent smell was inevitably inhaled, and the tiredness of the body suddenly increased several times. He staggered as he ran, as if his whole body was telling him to rest.

Ji Zi appeared at the door of the training room at some point. She stood there quietly watching her junior brother's training.

45. Tenacity

The surgery to transplant the stigmata involves injecting an instrument that manipulates Honkai energy into the spine deep under the skin to achieve a strengthening effect. The pain is so severe that it almost crushes the body.

Jizi had experienced this before, and because she missed the golden age for transplanting the stigmata, the pain she suffered was far greater than that of ordinary people, and she knew even more clearly how difficult it was to achieve a successful operation.

There has never been a man in the world who has successfully transplanted a stigmata, so she doesn't want her junior brother to take the risk. Maybe it would be better to let him give up during physical training.

But considering his current state, would he really be afraid to take a step back...

"Mr. Yune, can your body still bear it? I'm going to stop the machine!" Looking at the boy's staggering steps, the teacher realized that his body had reached its limit, and stretched out his hand hesitantly to stop it.

The accumulated fatigue had made the body numb. Shen Yunie's body moved subconsciously. Leah's cries and the teacher's voice rang in her ears but were already unclear.

It's not over yet... I have to hold on. He raised his arm with difficulty, mumbling indistinctly, "I can still, I can still... hold on."

He also wanted to avenge the dean and find out Sister Leah's life story.

"It will be troublesome if the muscles dissolve!" Looking at his struggling appearance, the teacher decided to stop the machine. If he continued to run like this, his life might be in danger.

She wanted to stop the machine, but her hand was held down as soon as she reached out.

Ji Zi had already walked over, her eyes never leaving her junior brother in the instrument. She said calmly, "No need to stop, wait until he can't hold on any longer."

"But his body..."

There was no answer, and the instrument did not stop. Time passed little by little. One minute was extremely painful and tormenting for Shen Yunie, and he had persisted for two hours, nearly three hours.

The student required to run non-stop for three hours, and the boy managed to do it only by willpower.

All the students who were exercising around stopped and surrounded the machine. It was the first time they saw someone who could complete this requirement right from the start, and this was a child who was only thirteen years old.

The girls were moved by his indomitable spirit and silently cheered him on.

Time passed to the last few seconds of three hours. Ji Zi appeared calm but was actually extremely anxious inside. When the time was really up, she immediately reached out and pressed the stop button.

"Yune, Yune?" Cecilia looked anxious. She didn't know how many times she had called out, but from the moment the machine started, the little boy had no energy to answer her.

The whole body is filled with the pain of having reached its limit, just like what the teacher said, muscles are dissolving.

Shen Yunie's body was still moving subconsciously. He could not feel any sensation in his body and could not even lift a finger. In his confused mind, he could only hear a voice calling him.

He seems to have completed it? But there are not many students who can complete it on the first try. The boy was filled with pride, his hair was clinging to his forehead, and he could barely smile on his young face.

I was just so tired. The deep tiredness turned into sleepiness, and my body fell backwards.

"Hune!"

The boy was about to fall to the ground, but his body paused in mid-air for a few seconds as if he was held up by someone, and then he fell into the arms of another person. Ji Zi didn't mind the fact that the boy in her arms was sweating all over, and she held him tightly in her arms.

She turned around and smiled proudly in front of everyone's gaze, "I told you he could hold on."

The teacher opened his mouth but could not say anything, and watched Ji Zi take Shen Yunie away. Then he sighed and said to the female students: "Look, even such a young student can hold on, what about you?"

The first day of class ended with Shen Yunie fainting in a miserable state. Ji Zi looked at that pale face and felt her heart aching as if it was being pulled.

He reached out and touched the boy's face. He looked like the boy that the teacher had taken him in. There was a big difference in their appearances but at this moment, he could vaguely recognize the teacher's appearance.

"This is only the first day, little brother, you really made me proud." Ji Zi smiled bitterly. The more he insisted, the more painful he felt inside.

I couldn't bear to see the moment when his fantasy was shattered.

……

When Shen Yunie woke up again, he was already lying on a soft bed. When he regained consciousness, half of his body touched an object that was softer and warmer than the bed.

"Sister Leah." He called out in a hoarse voice, not daring to turn around and look at Leah. He knew that he must have angered her by doing such a desperate thing.

There was no answer, only the hands hugged his body tighter, and Leia's body was pressed tightly against his, with her chin resting on his shoulder.

Shen Yunie shrank back in fear. Leah's silence was the most angry sign. He was stunned for a few seconds and explained in a low voice, "I'm afraid that if I can't hold on the first time, it will be even more impossible to complete it in the future."

"The dean would be furious if he knew you were using your body like this." After a long while, Cecilia said in a cold voice, "I'm already mad at you."

She was a little angry, but more distressed. She knew why the little boy was working so hard.

"No, I won't do that again." Shen Yunie turned around, and saw Leah's beautiful face with a puffed mouth and anger. He lowered his head and put his head on her chest, "We have succeeded once, and we just need to practice slowly from now on."

As if this was not enough to calm her down, Xiao Yunie raised her head and leaned closer to her face and kissed her cherry lips, "Sister Leah, don't be angry."

"I..." Leah didn't have much anger in her heart to begin with, but after being coaxed like this, all the anger in her heart disappeared instantly. She looked at the little boy helplessly, stretched out her hand to ruffle his long hair and pressed him back to her chest, "I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for you."

Shen Yunie quietly enjoyed this warm embrace. The faint fragrance made the fatigue and pain in his body disappear. After a long time, he said quietly: "You taught me that hard work can make up for lack of talent. Just work harder."

"You kid." Leia felt that she had indulged him too much, to the point that there were many things that Xiaozheng was too determined to do, and she had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

I don’t know whether this is a good or bad thing.

The two hugged for a long time, and it was already sunset and dark outside the window. There was a light knock on the door, but Shen Yunie did not get up immediately, but continued to hold Leah to recover his energy.

Without getting a response, Jizi turned around and left. Cecilia reached out and pushed the little boy, "Jizi is also worried about you, let her feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Well, I understand." After lying down for a while, Shen Yunie got up from the bed. He slept from the afternoon to the evening, and the pain in his body disappeared, leaving only a deep sense of fatigue. He staggered out of the room.

After the little boy left the room, Cecilia stretched and changed her posture, with a smile on her pretty face. Yune has grown up little by little, and I could feel it when I wiped his body today.

46. ​​Diligence can make up for one’s shortcomings

In the villa room, Ji Zi was busy in the kitchen. The plates in front of her were filled with processed meat and vegetables. She stood there in a daze, feeling a little at a loss as to where to start.

She asked the teacher next to her to prepare the dishes. There were a lot of nutritional fluids in the school for healing, but she heard that the tonics made by hand were more effective. After she hurriedly prepared the tonics, she realized that she couldn't cook at all.

When faced with something she didn't know how to do, Jizi chose to take a sip of wine first, and sighed helplessly: "I still have to ask Teacher Shirley to do it all."

Shen Yunie pushed open the door and just happened to hear the sigh with his keen hearing. He walked forward with a smile on his face, "Sister Ji Zi, let me cook."

"Yune, you're awake..." Hearing the familiar voice, Jizi turned around excitedly and looked over. Her worry finally subsided but she soon became nervous again. "How can I let you do it? Your body is not well yet. Let Teacher Shirley do it."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now." In order to reassure Ji Zi, Shen Yunie waved his hands in front of her, and the slight numbness in his body quickly disappeared.

After doing all this, he walked forward and smelled the flavors of the dishes and a faint smell of alcohol.

With the arrival of the junior brother, Ji Zi, who already had no idea where to start, seemed even more at a loss as to what to do.

"Sister Jizi, just wait, and drink less."

Ji Zi groaned and looked down at the can of wine in her hand. For a moment, she felt embarrassed to continue drinking it, so she could only throw it away and go back to the living room, staring at him eagerly.

Shen Yunie stood there for a while, and Cecilia returned to his body, directing the vegetables to be processed a second time and then put into the pot to steam. The temperature of the kitchen suddenly rose a lot as the steam came out.

Although she was an adult, Ji Zi felt embarrassed to be taken care of by an underage junior. She secretly made up her mind to learn how to cook and secretly took a can of wine to Shirley's villa next door.

The heat fell on his face, as if he had taken a facial sauna. Sweat dripped down both sides of Shen Yunie's cheeks. Leah stood beside him and they waited together.

"Well, the heat should be about right." Leah smelled the aroma in the pot and nodded with satisfaction. The days when the two of them wandered in the wild emerged in her mind. To reach Shenzhou, they had to cross the snowfields and mountains.

The terrain was dangerous and sometimes they didn't meet anyone for a hundred or two hundred kilometers, so they lived in the woods and caves. When they didn't know how to cook, they would roast the wild animals they caught and eat them. Even if the food was so tasteless that they couldn't get it down their stomachs, they would force themselves to eat it so that they would have the strength to continue on their journey.

After walking for several days, they finally came across a poor village. The village chief felt sorry for Yu Nie and gave him some millet, but in the end, he still burned it because he didn't know how to cook. As a result, they were hungry for several days. After finally reaching the county town, the two decided to learn how to cook.

“It won’t be burnt this time.”

Shen Yunie was stunned for a few seconds and then a smile broke out on his face. The memories of wandering were always engraved in his mind. He was very glad to have Leah's company, otherwise he would have probably become a madman after three years of wandering.

"Sister Leah, try it and see if it tastes good."

"This is a supplement for you... No, are you going to use me as a food taster again?"

When Ji Zi returned to the villa, Shen Yunie had already prepared a table full of dishes. This made her feel even more guilty for going out to learn how to cook. She had clearly gone out to learn how to cook, but in the end she ended up drinking with Teacher Shirley.

In the end, he got her drunk and returned home in defeat. She walked into the house with her head down, feeling guilty, and when she looked up, the boy's delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of her.

"Sister Ji Zi, it's time to eat." Shen Yunie held the bowl and plates and said to her with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah!" Ji Zi then remembered to eat.

The villa is very big and was deserted in the past. After Shen Yunie came, there are still many vacant rooms, but the feeling of home is much stronger.

"Yune, regarding the physical education class..." Ji Zi said a little hesitantly. Although Yune really completed the requirement today, it was really dangerous. Her idea of ​​making him retreat was shattered, so she could only let him stop trying so hard.

"I understand." Shen Yunie understood the meaning of her words and said calmly with a smile on his face, "I won't work so hard. I will train little by little."

Ji Zi found it a little unbelievable, and without giving him a chance to regret, she quickly agreed, "Then it's settled, practice slowly, we still have a lot of time."

She always felt that what she said was different from what her junior brother said?

……

Late at night, the new Ji Zi was rubbing her eyes in a daze in her sleep. It seemed that she drank too much in the evening, and her mouth and throat were a little dry. She walked out of the room to find some water to drink, and her eyes fell on the room of her junior brother, but found that the door was open.

She walked closer in confusion, only to find that there was no one inside.

"Junior brother?" Ji Zi was startled and started searching the villa quickly. She called out several times but got no response.

She sat on the sofa, worrying about where Shen Yunie would go, and then the afternoon appointment came to her mind. She understood the meaning of practicing slowly!

The physical education classroom in the third grade teaching building, the closer you get to the machine, the louder the sound. Ji Zi was stunned, and immediately walked closer. There was only one light on in the huge classroom, and the running machine was running, and junior brother Shen Yunie was running on it.

The boy kept running with his upper body naked. He didn't know how long he had been running. His fair skin was sweating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the low temperature environment quickly dried up the sweat.

His thin body had obvious muscle lines. Shen Yunie had just started to develop so he was not very tall, but Ji Zi felt that he had infinite power when she looked at him.

"This brat." Ji Zi sighed. She should have understood that since he was the teacher's son, he would definitely have a stubborn personality.

If you don't practice hard, then spend a lot of time training every day. If you can't stand such high-intensity pressure, then start to increase it little by little.

Diligence can make up for one's shortcomings. As long as one works hard enough, one can always catch up with others. This is probably what the junior brother is thinking at this moment.

She watched quietly for a while, and turned away without interrupting. Her heart sank for some reason, as if the matter of not being able to perform the stigmata transplantation surgery would become even more serious.

"Ji Zi was here just now." Cecilia looked at the door, but there was no figure there.

"Yeah." The continuous movement forced Shen Yunie to answer calmly, "Let's continue."

The next day, when Shen Yunie woke up, Ji Zi was still sleeping, and there was a drink on the table to replenish energy. The third grade curriculum was as usual, with cultural classes in the morning and physical training in the afternoon.

The students were surprised to find that the junior who had a hard time running yesterday could actually finish normally today. But Shen Yunie was still not satisfied and continued to train hard.

47. Severe sleepiness

After living in Saint Freya for a long time, Shen Yunie's growth exceeded everyone's expectations. His academic performance was better than most students in the class, and he could easily complete the required goals in physical fitness. He was also constantly improving his limits, and in terms of physical fitness, he was already the strongest among the more than 200 students in the third grade.

The end of the third grade is a milestone, and the teachers will select students who are qualified to transplant the stigmata and undergo surgery to officially become Valkyries. Only a few of the hundreds of students will be selected, sometimes not even one, and then they will be promoted to the fourth grade and divided into the liberal arts class and the Valkyrie class.

St. Freya's School has never had any male students, let alone male students who have had the stigmata transplanted. Students are saying that the junior student who is three years younger than them will definitely be the one to have the stigmata transplanted at the end of the semester.

Cecilia's sleepiness problem is getting worse. Shen Yunie sat on the bed and kept shaking her shoulders. The alarm clock on the table just set rang again. Because he was afraid of letting her miss the class time, he set the alarm clock to ring every half an hour. "Sister Leah, we should go to class!"

"Woo~" Leah hummed, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she dazedly reached out to hug the little boy, "I know... I'm already awake."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and seemed to be falling asleep again. After forcing herself to open her eyes, she returned to the little boy's body. "Let's go." Shen Yunie put on her clothes and left the room under the guidance. A worried look appeared on her face. "How could this happen?"

Leia was just a spirit body and she was still energetic even without sleep, but now it was completely the opposite. No matter how much she slept, it seemed like she never got enough sleep. Xiao Yunie was a little scared, afraid that her sister Leia would one day never wake up.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Cecilia's beautiful eyes dimmed a little, and she smiled and said to him, "I just slept a little too much."

Under the faint smile, her heart was far from as calm as she appeared. She didn't know what was wrong with her body, but probably there was nothing wrong.

"Junior Yunie, you came a little late today." Sayou sat down next to Shen Yunie, and she also diligently offered a portion of breakfast to the table full of breakfast.

The junior is at the age of growth, and he needs to eat more to grow taller. With this in mind, the girls in the class would bring him breakfast, and even students from the next class would bring him breakfast. However, Shen Yunie would not accept any of it, so she asked Sayou to return it to everyone.

Shen Yunie sat down, her heart full of worry about Leah, so she made up an excuse, "Well, I got up a little late."

"You've done very well. If you feel tired, it's okay to ask for leave from the teacher. After all, you're so outstanding." Sayu naturally believed that although the junior brother was sometimes cold, he didn't tell lies.

She didn't hear any response after she finished speaking. She only saw Shen Yunie nod absentmindedly and start writing something in the book that was about to be filled with notes.

The bell rang, and the person who came in was not the professor but the physical education teacher. She walked up to the podium, looked at everyone with a serious expression, and said, "We will not have cultural classes today. Let's go to the Memory Battlefield."

The class was boiling with excitement as he said this. The students showed excitement but a few also looked worried. Shen Yunie had never been to the Memory Battlefield, so he turned to Sayou in confusion, "Senior Sayou, what is the Memory Battlefield?"

That delicate face suddenly moved closer to her. Sayou's face instantly turned red. She turned her head away and stammered, "It's just a simulated battlefield. It will simulate the Honkai beasts. We go there to train our courage. It's good enough if we don't cry when we see the Honkai beasts."
