Chapter 94: The Winner of this Year in Physics Is Chinese physicist Huo Qu.

On the third day of the Spring Festival, Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu boarded the plane to Qinghuan's hometown together with Yu Xin and Zhao Qingyuan.

When he heard his good friend was going back to County Tao, Zhao Qingyuan immediately claimed that he would follow for he was quite idle for the time being.

The relationship between him and Yu Qinghuan was no more than friendship. So Zhao Qingyuan's agent didn't give a shit about his artist got so close to Qinghuan. He even felt happy to keep away from that big trouble.

Zhao Qingyuan was obsessed with the canned yellow peaches from County Tao. From their departure, he had begun to pour out words about yellow peaches in Yu Qinghuan's ear. Yu Xin, who felt bored about his nagging, distanced himself from Zhao Qingyuan.

They bought an early flight and arrived at the airport before dawn. After boarding the plane, Zhao Qingyuan, the verbal diarrhea, swallowed his words, pulled down the shade and released the seat to catch up on sleeping.

County Tao was quite an isolated hamlet. At first, Yu Qinghuan planned to take them to the downtown first after getting off the plane, and then departed from the city center to the village. Surprisingly, Zhao Qingyuan happened to have a friend there, so he made a call and asked his friend to give them a ride.

"He owns a private cafeteria." Zhao Qingyuan wore a mask and scarf, covering his face tightly. He turned to Yu Qinghuan, "It's almost noon. We could have a meal in his cafeteria."

Yu Qinghuan nodded and agreed, "OK."

His own house had been abandoned for many years, and now, it was not suitable to live in, let alone cook. Moreover, during the New Year vacation, every family had to go to relatives, so it was not good to bother his neighbors.

Yu Qinghuan wanted to set off after the meal in the city, visit the old village chief after sweeping his parents' tomb, and then go back.

He told Zhao Qingyuan what he thought.

"That's better. I'll borrow his car and you can show me the way."

After the deal was made, they led by Zhao Qingyuan's friend to the cafeteria.

"You are welcome. Please take a seat. Feel free to order whatever you want. Qingyuan's friends are mine." Zhao Qingyuan's friend wore a smilingly look, taking them to the balcony and said, "I'll go and get you some fancy things."

Zhao Qingyuan warned, "Chen Qi, don't do anything strange again."

"Don't worry," Chen Qi laughed and said to his ear, "Believe me, my friend. I'll get you some Xiaoba fish."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyuan's eyes immediately lit up.

When Chen Qi left, Yu Xin could not help but ask, "What is Xiaoba fish?"

Zhao Qingyuan rubbed his hands, "Pufferfish."

Every February to April was the best season to eat pufferfish. A large number of people were willing to take risks in order to taste the legendary delicious flavor.

When Yu Xin heard this, his interest also soared up. He joined Zhao Qingyuan, waiting for the pufferfish to be served with their hands rubbing.

Their long-awaited pufferfish was the last to serve, and it was made into two dishes, Pufferfish Skin and Fried Pufferfish.

Those hungry wolves couldn't wait to reach out their chopsticks as the dishes lay on the table. Yu Qinghuan had no appetite after rushing about. Seeing Pufferfish Skin not so oily and looked refreshing, he ate the dish first.

The first bite did not give him any special feeling. His second try still fail to please him.

Delicious, but not impressive.

Zhao Qingyuan and Yu Xin, however, had a special preference for these two dishes and frequently reaching out their chopsticks at them, making Yu Qinghuan almost think that he and they were not eating the same dish.

Huo Qu was still the same as before. He had no special preference for food and ate whatever he saw, so he did not need much attention to food.

Since they needed a driver to County Tao, all of them didn't have alcohol. Being afraid of returning too late, they set off immediately after dinner.

Yu Qinghuan felt dizzy on the way, thinking it was airsickness plus carsickness, so he didn't pay much attention. He closed his eyes and rested on the back seat.

However, the feeling of chest tightness and vertigo had not been relieved but increased.

Yu Qinghuan frowned. Just as he was about to ask Yu Xin if he had any plastic bags, Zhao Qingyuan suddenly shouted, "Qinghuan, you look serious. But, hey…"

He winked at Yu Qinghuan in the rearview mirror, looking very obscene.

"What?" Yu Qinghuan felt his heart throbbed faster and he felt uncomfortable all over. He pressed down the window and let the cold air from the outside blow in. Only then did he reply to Zhao Qingyuan.

"Look down at your neck," said Qingyuan.

What did he mean?

Yu Qinghuan lowered the head inexplicably and immediately got a fright. A few little red dots crept on his neck neither rhyme nor reason.

Was it an allergy?

But he hadn't been allergic to anything since he was young.

Afraid of Zhao Qingyuan's brain thinking of some messy things, Yu Qinghuan tore open the collar and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I may have a rash."

After much pondering, he attributed the reason for climate sickness.

"What's the matter?" Hearing this, Yu Xin immediately became nervous and looked back frequently.

Artists could never have rash cause they would never know how the media would picture them after being photographed.

"It's okay," Yu Qinghuan held Huo Qu's hand and said with a smile, "I have been pampered these days and haven't been back for many years. It must be climate sickness."

Hearing this, Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. "If you feel bad, tell me, I'll drive directly to the hospital."

"Okay."

They had good luck. Although they left on a busy vacation day, the road conditions were quite good. They drove to County Tao in an hour and a half.

While in the city, Yu Qinghuan had already bought long incense and yellow paper and asked the clerk to help fold up the yellow paper, so he went directly to the cemetery.

According to Yu Qinghuan's hometown custom, people who have died in an accident cannot have tombstones. Among the rows of dense tombstones, the two small tombs of Yu's parents were extremely desolate.

Yu Xin and Zhao Qingyuan didn't follow, leaving space for Qinghuan and Huo Qu.

Yu Qinghuan's heart was extremely complicated and the sickness in his chest was even overwhelmed by the unspeakable feeling when he saw his parents' tomb after two lifetimes.

In his last life, his memory of his parents stopped 20 years ago. But even so, their voice, appearance, and smile were still deeply rooted in Yu Qinghuan's heart without any ambiguity.

Though they only spent 12 years together with Qinghuan, the couple cared about him in everything and treated him as a treasure in their hearts. Even their final death did not pose him any burden.

But he could never repay their love.

Yu Qinghuan lowered his eyes, fought back the pain and bitterness in his heart, lit three incense, and handed it to Huo Qu. "Let's offer the incense to them."

Huo Qu nodded and bowed respectfully to the grave. Then he carefully inserted the incense in the censer and kowtowed three times.

Yu Qinghuan lit the yellow paper and put it into the censer one after another.

He had a bad luck in his last life, but his career was developing well. In this life, he suddenly became the chosen one. With Huo Qu, he would certainly have a very happy life.

He took Huo Qu's hand and pulled him from the ground until the yellow paper was completely burnt. Yu Qinghuan took one last look at the grave. "Let's go."

With Huo Qu accompanying him, he would never fear to come here again.

Every year after this New Year, he would come to see his parents.

After that, the group went to YuQinghuan's house to have a rest. After Qinghuan paid a visit to the old village chief, they would go back.

Perhaps there was too much corn juice in his belly, Yu Qinghuan went to the washroom the moment he reached his door. Unexpectedly, his dizzy head was almost scared stiff.

His urine… was green!

Falling into confusion for a long time, he thought of one last possibility: pufferfish intoxication?

But he was clearly the one who ate the least of the four!

"Qinghuan, what's the matter with you? Menstrual period?" Seeing Yu Qinghuan coming out of the toilet with a face of panic, Zhao Qingyuan could not help laughing.

"Qingyuan," Yu Qinghuan looked at him straight in the eyes, "I may have been poisoned by pufferfish."

"What the!" Zhao Qingyuan failed to resist a burst of swearing, and his face was frightened pale. He grabbed Yu Qinghuan's wrist and dragged him into the car. His sound almost tore his throat, "Yu Xin, hurry up! Qinghuan was having a pufferfish intoxication! Hurry to the hospital!"

Everyone panicked. Huo Qu turned pale and held Yu Qinghuan tightly. He knew what pufferfish intoxication meant.

On the contrary, Yu Qinghuan turned into the calmest one after the panic had passed and comforted them with a smile, "It's okay. The cafeteria must have cleaned up the toxins on the fish. I'm just having a little adverse reaction. Otherwise, I may unable to speak to you now."

His comfort relieved them a little, but they still did not dare to delay the cure time. They rushed to the downtown hospital and headed for the emergency department.

Hearing the word 'pufferfish intoxication', the doctor was nervous and used the fastest speed to examine Yu Qinghuan. "It's okay, he's having some adverse reaction, far from intoxication."

For the sake of safety, Yu Qinghuan was given a hospital admission form to stay in the hospital for one day.

It was very difficult to keep the travel of the stars completely confidential. In addition, the group of people nearly lost their minds and forgot to hide from the crowd. Therefore, the scene was filmed by the media and posted on the Internet.

For a while, the news of Yu Qinghuan's admission to the hospital was overwhelming.

The picture taken by the media and posted online was the scene Huo Qu with Yu Qinghuan. However, they intentionally selected the one where the two holding each other and staying close. The atmosphere looked ambiguous and intimate, just like a lovestruck couple.

"I… have a bold idea. I think I'm crazy…"

"Stay with me… I have the same feeling."

"Don't talk nonsense, Huo Qu hugged Qinghuan because Qinghuan was ill and needed help from others! You guys really rotten to the core!"

"No, I still don't think these two people are really friends, but the other half of the little koi is an insider, quite confusing…"

…

While the online discussion on the relationship between Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu on the rise and the netizens couldn't help but want to dig deeper, big news suddenly hit the top search list and stunned everyone.

The Nobal Prize was announced, and the winner of this year in physics was Chinese physicist Huo Qu.

The whole nation was boiling!

The author has something to say: The real timing of the Nobel Prize was changed because of the plot.

I changed 'pufferfish intoxication' into 'adverse reaction' after much consideration.

Last year, I went to Japan for a tour. One of my colleagues suffered from dizziness, little red dots and urine green after eating two pieces of pufferfish skin. However, no one reacted at that time that it was pufferfish intoxication and he didn't go to the hospital. Then… the interlude passed and he was all right.

So I decided not to let Qinghuan have an 'intoxication'.
