According to what those people had told him, besides him, there was basically only Wei Yutang in this room.
"Yes, it's me."
Chu Qing's physical abilities were average because the original owner grew up on a desolate planet and did not receive much education.
But Wei Yutang is different. As the strongest person in the entire interstellar space, his perception in all aspects is far superior to that of ordinary people.
When Chu Qing walked in, it was as if a ray of light had suddenly been brought into his dark world, and his reason, which was on the verge of collapse, began to gradually return.
I forced myself to calm down, afraid that my ferocious appearance would scare him.
He knew that many people would be afraid of his situation, and that Chu Qing was just an ordinary person who was also in this situation. Wei Yutang was not surprised at all.
Wei Yutang used all his self-control to restrain himself, afraid that he might not do something right and scare Chu Qing away, pushing him even further away.
Regardless of why Chu Qing disliked him before, Wei Yutang had considered that it might be because of this flaw.
Now it seems that the best opportunity is in front of him, allowing him to prove to Chu Qing with facts that even if his mental power goes berserk, he will never harm him.
The human body can experience a sense of crisis under certain circumstances, and Chu Qing felt that Wei Yutang in front of her was dangerous.
On one hand, her body's instincts told Chu Qing that she should get away as soon as possible, but on the other hand, reason forced her to stay. Her body was trembling slightly because of this dilemma.
With the hand that Wei Yutang hadn't touched, she grasped Wei Yutang's hand in her palm, tilted her head back to look at him, and whispered:
"I'm here. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The original owner had never seriously listened to the lessons on using mental power to soothe Wei Yutang, so Chu Qing began to desperately recall them and try her best to do as the lessons said.
Wei Yutang's splitting headache gradually subsided, as if a clear stream slowly flowed into his mind, soothing his blood vessels that felt like they were about to burst.
Chu Qing never let go of his hand, and even after Wei Yutang gradually regained consciousness, he couldn't bear to take his eyes off him.
It was clear that this matter was proving a bit difficult for Chu Qing; his forehead was beaded with sweat from the tension, and his face was somewhat pale.
However, the look in his eyes remained as firm as ever.
For Chu Qing, the continuous output of mental energy was no different from a strenuous exercise. He was almost soaked in sweat, and by the end, he was collapsed on the ground, too weak to even stand up.
Wei Yutang instinctively reached out and caught him, letting him fall into his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm still too useless."
Chu Qing could sense that Wei Yutang had not been completely appeased, but he lacked the energy to continue.
When people are extremely tired, they will always unconsciously seek someone to lean on. He leaned against Wei Yutang's chest, his curled eyelashes damp with moisture from exhaustion, making him look as aggrieved and pitiful as Xiaxia who couldn't get her snacks.
"It's nothing, you're already very good, I should be thanking you."
Wei Yutang's voice was a little hoarse. He carried Chu Qing to the wall, turned on the light based on his memory, and sat down on the sofa next to him to rest.
As the room lit up instantly, Wei Yutang instinctively reached out and covered Chu Qing's eyes.
The room was almost entirely filled with traces of his destruction; there were deep grooves in the walls, and remnants of his energy remained on them.
Anyone who saw this scene would suspect that he might have violent tendencies.
Chu Qing really didn't have the strength to refuse, but she was too tired to sleep. Her eyes felt a little uncomfortable with them covered, so she subconsciously blinked to relieve the discomfort.
The feeling of his eyelashes trembling in Wei Yutang's palm was like a feather gently brushing against his heart, a unique sensation that made his body tremble involuntarily.
"Thank you for coming today."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do. Could you please take your hands off my eyes? Hmm... I'm not scared."
Chu Qing's voice was so fragile, as if it could dissipate with a single breath, that Wei Yutang subconsciously followed suit.
Seeing the undisguised curiosity in his eyes as he looked around after his exhaustion, Wei Yutang couldn't resist and gently kissed his lips, a gesture that was completely different from his previous irritability.

Chapter 95
Wei Yutang snapped back to reality after touching him, instinctively holding his breath and staring intently at Chu Qing's face, not wanting to miss any subtle changes in his expression.
Chu Qing didn't know if it was because he was too tired before, which caused him to still not be fully awake, or for some other reason, but he had a strange urge to let himself indulge in it.
Even with my eyes closed, my eyelashes were still trembling nervously.
In Wei Yutang's eyes, this was practically tantamount to a silent endorsement.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and after much hesitation, he still couldn't say what he wanted to say. He just silently hugged Chu Qing tighter.
Since Chu Qing no longer resisted him as before, it was already a pleasant surprise for him, so there was no need to rush things.
Wei Yutang certainly wanted to establish his official status, but only when he was absolutely certain of it.
Because the matter concerns Chu Qing, he cannot afford even the slightest possible accident.
Later, Chu Qing was probably exhausted, and Wei Yutang's embrace made her feel so safe that she unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Wei Yutang didn't stay in the room for long before carrying Chu Qing out.
After his mental state became abnormal, his subordinates were all nearby, and they are probably still there waiting for the outcome.
Wei Yutang opened the door by scanning the pupils. Many of his anxious subordinates waiting at the door were stunned when they saw the door open.
They had made preparations in the shortest possible time. If the captain really wanted to come out, they would rather die here than let him leave.
"team leader?"
One of the subordinates, who had assumed an attack stance, subconsciously loosened his clenched fist and shouted after meeting the captain's gaze.
"Um."
Wei Yutang nodded slightly, not wanting to waste too much time exchanging pleasantries with his subordinate. He was more eager to get Chu Qing to the hospital as soon as possible.
He knew Chu Qing; she had grown up in that place and had never received rigorous training, nor did she know how to maximize her mental power.
Today, perhaps it was by chance, or perhaps it was out of an eagerness to save lives.
Regardless of the reason, Wei Yutang wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible. The damage to his mental strength was irreversible to some extent, which was why his condition had been recurring and had never been cured.
At the same time, mental pain is the most severe. Many people with abnormal mental states eventually choose to end their lives because they cannot bear the pain.
"Captain, what's going on with Mr. Chu?"
"He tried to save me with his mental power, but he collapsed from exhaustion."
After giving a brief explanation, Wei Yutang, not bothering to wait for the hovercar to arrive, directly carried Chu Qing into his mecha and rushed to the hospital in their area as fast as possible.
The doctors here received the news an hour ago that the Marshal's mental strength had once again malfunctioned, and they sent their best doctors over.
When they saw the Marshal's mecha appear at the hospital entrance, many people wondered if they were seeing things.
But everyone knows that only the Marshal himself can control the mecha. The mecha is bound to its master, and no one else has the ability to pilot this mecha that was tailor-made for the Marshal.
Wei Yutang emerged from the mecha, still holding a slightly thin man in his arms.
The doctors here are all excellent. They could tell at a glance that the person being held by the marshal was the real patient, and they immediately started preparing the things needed for the rescue.
"Are you sure you didn't receive any prior training before using your mental power?"
Before entering the monitoring room, the doctor asked one more question, still not giving up.
If someone can master mental power without having taken detailed lessons, they are simply a genius. If their mental power is damaged due to a lack of skill in its use, it would be a loss to their entire intergalactic world.
Wei Yutang nodded slightly, and as he repeated this fact, he was almost overwhelmed by self-blame.
"Okay, I understand."
The inspection process was incredibly long, and Wei Yutang felt like each day was an eternity waiting at the door.
Before Chu Qing could even come out, he received a call from the housekeeper, who said that the little tiger had used its not-yet-fully-developed teeth to bite a big hole in the door that was closing for him.
She's making a scene at home right now, insisting that she absolutely has to go find her dad.
"He's at the hospital now, let's bring him along."
"OK."
Such a small tiger cub managed to chew a hole in the door. Wei Yutang was at a loss for words, unsure whether to be troubled by its destructive abilities or proud of his son's excellence.
Xiaxia came over just now, her fluffy ears drooping, and the tiger looked rather listless.
When Wei Yutang held him in his arms, the little boy did not resist, but his eyes kept looking around, searching for his father.
"Huh?"
Unable to find the baby, she had no choice but to ask her father. Before her father could answer, she gently nudged him with her nose.
"Your father is inside for a check-up now, and he'll be out soon."
These words did not comfort the little tiger; instead, they made the cub, who was lying down, sit up instantly.
"Awooo!!!"
He had been to the hospital before, and each time a problem was found during a checkup, he had to drink some very unpleasant-tasting medicine, which made the little tiger have a bad impression of the word "checkup".
"It will be fine, there shouldn't be any problems."
Wei Yutang reached out and gently stroked the little tiger's fur. It was unclear whether he was saying this to coax the cub into obeying or to comfort himself.
Reason told Wei Yutang that all kinds of tests related to mental strength are always very complicated, and it is normal for it to take some time.
But I just couldn't calm down; my heart was racing, and I was hoping to hear the word "safe and sound" from the doctor as soon as possible.
The little tiger wasn't very happy and wasn't very willing to believe his father's words. He stared longingly in that direction, and his beautiful big eyes were beginning to well up with tears.
I got so impatient waiting that I even gnawed on my own paws for a while.
The teeth that had already grown in were now quite sharp. After gnawing for a while, the little one noticed that its paws hurt after it started gnawing, and its gaze fell on the back of its father's hand.
It stretched out its paw and gently patted its father, drawing his attention to itself. It then nuzzled its nose against his father's, looking very eager, as if indicating whether its father needed its help to nibble on its paw.
Wei Yutang clenched the hand that had slapped him in his palm and gave no reply.
He was already very anxious and agitated, and Xiaxia's little actions were a bit annoying to him.
With its paws pressed down, the little tiger knew its father didn't need its help, so it gave up on that idea.
The entire examination lasted two hours. Wei Yutang and Xiaxia waited there the whole time. Finally, the door opened and a doctor came out, holding a folder in his hand.
