"Ace finally woke up after a long dream. His first reaction after getting up was abnormal behavior." Qin Qianbai said expressionlessly, "I was surprised. It turns out that this is the growth of the Impermanence Master."
Gongsun Ce held his head and wailed on the bed: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please stop talking!!"
"Ace's perverted expression is exactly the same as it was three years ago." The eldest lady said with a cold look, "It's really a considerable amount of growth."
Gongsun Ce quickly softened into a pile of mud. He couldn't say anything and could only say desperately: "Kill me..."
The eldest lady poked the ooze monster and asked indifferently: "Has the malignant transformation been cured?"
"Completely cured. Incomparably healthy. Sounder than ever. Now I can truly call myself the courageous superman of the Sky City."
This is a lie.
In fact, the inexplicable fear still remains slightly after waking up from the dream. However, this residue was so subtle that even he himself could suppress it normally. Yan Qi would not make such a low-level mistake. This incomplete remnant is undoubtedly the influence of Mr. Lan's midway interference.
Fortunately, the angry eldest lady did not notice this subtle lie. She covered her chest and said disdainfully.
"You are so brave that you touch your neighbor's breasts as soon as you get up."
"Guwa!"
"Judging from this perverted courage to commit sexual harassment, Ace has indeed lost the fear that ordinary people should have."
The gray-haired slime pervert asked cautiously: "Is it my fault...don't you hit me?"
"It's not the first time. There's no point in getting angry with Ace now."
The forgiven ooze returned to human form.
Gongsun Ce put on his glasses, cleared his throat, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, so he blurted out what was in his mind: "After three years, your figure has been greatly different from the ground, Miss! "
When he saw the girl's raised right palm, Gongsun Ce immediately thought of what was about to happen. Before the slap fell, someone who was desperate to regain his IQ begged for mercy in a low voice: "I just got carried away, please forgive me."
The eldest lady retracted her slap and turned her head to the side: "I'm angry."
"Please don't!"
"Angry."
"Shall I make something for you to eat?"
"Despondent. Discouraged. Heartbroken."
"Why is your heart so gray?"
Can young girls be brighter? !
Gongsun Ce felt deeply distressed and found himself in the same embarrassing situation as three years ago. The most embarrassing part is that three years ago, he could ease the atmosphere by giving him a half-hour beating and urgent reasoning, but now, three years later, both of them know very well that Qin Qianbai cannot beat him up because of such a trivial matter...
...Speaking of which, this is no small matter, right?
Even if the relationship is good, this seems to be a level where you can call the police and call a lawyer. But he subconsciously felt that the eldest lady would not do this. Is there something wrong with his thinking?
Gongsun Ce moved his brain nervously, thinking about solutions to the problem. He had an idea: "Miss, just take it as an apology. How about I tell you the content of that dream?"
Qin Qianbai's head turned around.
"Node dream?"
"Yes, yes, the events that have had a major impact on your life and personality so far are nodes." Gongsun Ce felt that he was gradually regaining his usual rhythm. He said confidently and calmly, "Mr. Gongsun, the last node I experienced , it’s the story of meeting you!”
Bang.
It seemed like I heard this sound effect. The eldest lady's face suddenly turned red.
"——No, no, it's not what you imagined!" Gongsun Ce explained hurriedly, "I mean, Miss, you are very important to my life!"
Bang!
The auditory hallucinations in her head doubled, and the eldest lady's face was already red.
"So despicable
, Ace. Not just a straight shot or a double. "
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Where's the ring?"
"Have your thoughts advanced to that point yet?"
"At least meet your parents first."
"Stop it! Where has your imagination gone?"
Oops, something happened. The eldest lady, whose face was red, had obviously gone into a direction that even she could not guess. Even she herself doesn’t know what she is talking about. Something will happen if she continues like this! !
The gray-haired young man howled like a beast.
"I just woke up and my language ability has not returned to normal! Due to the accident just now, your condition is not stable either! Anyway, let's take a break for ten minutes and then talk about it, okay?"
"Ah...!" The eldest lady seemed to have regained some of her consciousness, "It must be terminated. Let's talk in ten minutes!"
With their faces flushed, the two people rushed out of the door at the same time and went outdoors to breathe in the fresh air.
·
ten minutes later.
The two people sitting side by side on the sofa looked at the landscape painting on the wall with the same empty eyes.
Boom, boom. Qin Qianbai poked his neighbor in the abdomen with his elbow.
"Just now, nothing happened."
"As commanded."
"It's all Ace's fault."
"Blame me."
"Then, what is the content of the dream?"
Gongsun Ce twisted his hair and said with a little embarrassment: "Actually, it's just a matter of fighting... destroy the superpower organization and then go home. That's it."
Qin Qianbai thought about it for a moment and imitated it vividly: "From now on, this city is my territory."
Gongsun Ce covered his face in confusion and whispered: "Please stop talking..."
Qin Qianbai chased her fiercely: "I will definitely protect her."
"I'm really going to wake up and escape."
"Three years ago, A Ce dared to say anything. When we set out to fight, he grabbed my hand without any explanation, which surprised me a little."
This is what young people in their peak middle school years look like.
"After all, we weren't even in high school at the time...Looking back at the performance from the perspective of a college student, I felt that it was so exaggerated and artificial that it was almost like a public execution..."
Qin Qianbai looked at him sideways and said expressionlessly: "Let's defeat the entire Sky City."
"Please don't reread my second grade speech." Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand with a grimace, "Just try to comfort Mr. Gongsun for my hurt heart. Can you touch your hand?"
"Sexual harassment has intensified. Ace's desire is so terrifying."
"Your desire to complain is really scary."
The girl gently held his hand.
Just like at the end of the dream, the warmth from his palms made Gongsun Ce feel extremely peaceful.
"How should I put it... Looking back, I will feel that I was terrible in every sense at that time. I had to rely on your encouragement to cheer up when things happened. It was simply not like a man."
"A 16-year-old underage can't be called a man." Qin Qianbai said.
Just stop complaining at this time, okay?
"But on the other hand... I also feel that although I acted stupidly at that time, I seemed to be a little tougher than now?" Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Mr. Gongsun, have I grown up in the past three years, or have I grown up? Regressed. I'm thinking about it."
Qin Qianbai hesitated for a moment and told the truth with a trace of reluctance.
"Although Ah Ce has been emphasizing that he was very good three years ago, Ah Ce is still like that when he is emotional now."
"Don't tell such cruel facts!!"
"However, after experiencing the events of the past few months, I can clearly feel that there have been other changes in Ace."
"Have it?"
"In a calm state before, you would never take the initiative to hold my hand."
Don't
Judging by this kind of details.
It sounds like Mr. Gongsun and I are a problem person who will do something to girls when he gets emotional!
"So, my evaluation of A Ce has not changed."
The expressionless girl turned her face sideways and looked directly into his eyes as before. Just like before, he said it majestically without a trace of confusion.
"I still think that Ace is the best person in this city."
I felt the weight of these words.
I want to find some other reasons to fool around. I want to convince myself like before. However, after reviewing the series of events, it seems that I can no longer play the trick of self-deception flexibly.
The words Mr. Lan left before leaving forced Gongsun Ce to face reality. Now, he cannot allow himself to live in ambiguity and rely on deception again.
Therefore, with unprecedented determination, Gongsun Ce spoke impulsively.
"Qin Qianbai."
Seriously, call the other person by their name.
"Can you tell me why you have no expression?"
The force coming from his hand increased, and Qin Qianbai asked as usual: "Isn't Ace going to keep the distance?"
"Ah, let's admit it frankly, I want to get to know you better."
This is an issue that should have been spoken out three years ago.
He has been using the common sense of the Sky City as an excuse to delay speaking out his words until now. He is really useless.
"Actually, this is not a very important matter. It does not involve any secrets or a heavy past. It is just a personal problem for me."
"Um."
"After hearing the truth, Ace may be very disappointed."
"An Xin, in my eyes you have never been the kind of woman who hides countless secrets."
The eldest lady turned and stared over.
His eyes were full of resentment.
"Then, what image do I have in Ace's eyes?"
Gongsun Ce said without hesitation: "He is gentle, considerate, kind, strong, powerful and lovable at the same time. Although he occasionally loses his temper and makes trouble unreasonably, he always reflects on it after doing something wrong. He is a person who grows up little by little in his daily life. Yes, a good girl who is so cute that I always want to hold her tightly."
Speak the truth. Feeling refreshed.
Gongsun Ce has no psychological burden. According to his understanding of his neighbors, Qin Qianbai is the type who will appear very happy after hearing straightforward praise.
As expected, the girl looked at him triumphantly.
"As expected, I am mature, mysterious, sexy and charming."
"Your summary has nothing to do with my speech!"
"I'm in a good mood today. If I want to give you a compliment, I'll give you a special hug."
Gongsun Ce said quickly: "The restraint and elegance you display in your every move are proof that we mortals can't stop looking up to you!"
Mere face is nothing.
Not to mention one sentence, I can even think of a hundred sentences on the spot!
"Don't move."
Qin Qianbai let go of his hand, stood up under the confused eyes of the gray-haired young man, and walked in front of him.
Then, the girl sat safely on his lap.
"Hey hey hey-?!"
Qin Qianbai leaned back, leaned on someone's chest and said, "Okay, let's hug him."
"This kind of hugging method is too restrictive for college students!!!"
"If you feel anything strange, attack Ace."
"Do you know how to write the word "Forcing someone to make things difficult for you?" Gongsun Ce began to bluff, "I can tell you, if you don't come down, there will be no chance of regret! Now, here, Mr. Gongsun, I will hug you like a pervert. Already!"
The girl's head moved, and her shiny black hair brushed the boy's face.
"Ace's feeling of being a jerk is overflowing."
hateful!
Gongsun Ce stretched out his arms menacingly, and carefully hugged the girl in his arms with the same cautious movements as if he were treating a glass work of art.
"Okay, Mr. Gongsun, I'm holding you now." He slowed down his voice, "I'm behind you and can't see your face. So if you have anything unpleasant to say, feel free to say it."
"Ace, you can't be so smart sometimes."
My my.
Qin Qianbai was quiet for a while, seeming to be recalling the past.
"...Ace, remember the life I had before I came to the Capital of the Sky."
"certainly."
Gongsun Ce, who had just reviewed it in his dream not long ago, naturally knew this very well. After understanding the chaos caused by Qin Ming in reality, the last piece of the puzzle was completed.
The once carefree genius girl had to take on the responsibility of the younger generation after experiencing the family's defeat and Qin Ming's absence. When her best grandfather left home for work, her closest uncle himself was the cause of chaos.
Therefore, under the expectations and obligations unilaterally imposed by the family, the girl who lost her reliance almost collapsed and eventually ran away from home.
"Almost a year before I awakened my superpowers, I was very tired of this kind of life. I wanted to be able to freely control part of my time like other brothers and sisters. I wanted to have my own hobbies. I wanted to start from Break away from the day-to-day fighting and training and take a break to recuperate for a while.”
"I think this is not too much of a request. Because it is my family, and I am a member of the family, not a martial arts machine."
The girl's voice sounded a little sad, reminding him of the conversation three years ago.
"I tried very hard to communicate with the elders. At first I was calm, but I was rejected many times. Then I yelled out of anger, and then I even started crying. But the elders always talked about family responsibilities, and my parents Tell me that I should listen to their words."
"At that time, I felt very surprised. Because whether I was crying, laughing, sad, or angry, the adults' reaction was always the same. Only the way of expression changed, but the core never changed. "
"To everyone, my joys, sorrows, and joys are as if they never existed."
Gongsun Ce hugged her a little harder so that she could feel his warmth.
"Out of a prank-like revenge, I took rebellious actions." Qin Qianbai said slowly, "I controlled my performance and did not show a trace of emotion in front of adults. I wanted to rely on this playful way. , let them understand my dissatisfaction.”
"Then what?" Gongsun Ce asked.
"This kind of prank lasted for several days. I concealed my voice and eavesdropped on the old people's discussion to see their reaction." Qin Qianbai said, "I heard them say, 'This is a great event! Xiao Qian There have been obvious changes in the past few days. I must have taken a step forward in martial arts practice and have entered the legendary realm of non-stagnation and ten thousand methods!"
"At that time, it felt like something was broken in my heart."
"It turns out that everyone really doesn't care about my feelings. In their eyes, I am not Qin Qianbai, but just a person with extraordinary talents."
Qin Qianbai said softly: "I don't know why, but after that day, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't express myself."
Gongsun Ce was furious.
He knew that this happened a long time ago, and he knew that not everyone in the Qin family looked like this, but at this moment he still had a strong desire to fly to the imperial capital and destroy the unknown Qin family's mansion. Rotten.
"You really deserve to be beaten up twice by you and Qin Ming, and you deserve to be scolded by Mr. Qin!" Gongsun Ce yelled, "Bullshit martial arts leader! A bunch of short-sighted and pedantic stupid martial artists, you can still be considered an adult like this !"
"Ace."
"I'll scold you!"
Qin Qianbai turned around and looked at him dissatisfied: "Ace, they are my family."
Gongsun Ce barely suppressed his anger and held it in for a long time.
Cai Xin reluctantly said: "Don't tell me that you forgive them now."
"Yes, I forgive you. I realized after the exchange that those words were actually unintentional words from the elders." Qin Qianbai said bitterly, "They really failed to discover my prank...until I came to the Sky City, Only then did the old people realize that it was not a sign of progress in martial arts."
Almost half of Gongsun Ce's anger turned into helplessness mixed with absurdity and ridicule.
"... Your old Qin family is the so-called wooden family, right? You are a small wooden family, Qin Ming is a big wooden family, and then there are a bunch of muscular men in the family who are all towering trees, each one competing with each other? The old man is pretty good at caring for the whole family. It hurts, it hurts, it’s so considerate!”
Boom! Qin Qianbai's head hit the side of someone's face. She said dissatisfiedly: "Ace is the most unqualified person in the world to say this."
Gongsun Ce shouted: "Mr. Gongsun, I am not much sharper than your family!"
The eldest lady raised her head. When Gongsun Ce looked at his neighbor, he suddenly felt an indescribable guilt.
"...Why are you looking at me so strangely?"
"Ace, I'm sitting in your arms now."
Gongsun Ce said seriously: "I will never do anything out of the ordinary except for hugging! Although I am not a gentleman, I can still stay calm!"
"That's what Ace said when he hit his chest a few minutes ago."
Gongsun Ce's momentum immediately weakened: "How about we not mention non-subjective factors..."
Boom, boom, boom, the girl hit him several times in a row.
"Now that you've told what happened, are you disappointed?"
Rather, I’m glad that I don’t have a cruel past like Shigure-kun’s. It’s great.
"I'm not disappointed, I'm really angry." Gongsun Ce sighed repeatedly, "Can't you still laugh now?"
"I have practiced several times in private, but I can't make any expression." Qin Qianbai raised the corners of her mouth with her fingers, "I can only smile like this."
"This is really..."
It would be too extreme to say it is due to psychological factors.
Could it be that her superpower has been subconsciously acting on her?
Gongsun Ce said sadly, "I have to think of a way to make you laugh."
"...This time, it was Ace who took the initiative to close the distance." The girl suddenly said, "Stepping into other people's hearts requires corresponding qualifications. This is what Ace taught me."
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Gongsun Ce felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"Then, for what reason did Ace risk his own life to break through the stable safe distance?"
...that’s not good.
Why would you ask such a question in such a serious and expectant voice?
In this way, doesn't it look like...
"I have something I want to say to you."
The body was dominated by some indescribable emotion.
The words come out of your mouth before you think about them.
"There are words that require a distance to be expressed, that's why it's like this!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and neither of them seemed to know what to say. The two people who were very close to each other felt awkward and panicked like never before.
"Then..." Qin Qianbai's voice sounded a little nervous, "What do you want to say?"
Gongsun Ce racked his brains, feeling that something was on his lips, but it was as if he was tied by an invisible chain, and he couldn't say it.
"...I haven't thought about it yet." Gongsun Ce felt that he had never been so embarrassed. He added in a low voice, "I just want to see your smile."
This time, the silence lasted longer. After an anxious wait, the girl turned her back to him and spoke.
"If Ace is willing to tell me..."
Gongsun Ce pursed his lips nervously: "Wait until I think about it, okay?"
"Well, it's a deal."
「
Thank you. "
"If you regret it, you'll be beaten until you're paralyzed."
"What a cruel punishment!"
Qin Qianbai jumped off his lap lightly, picked up the schoolbag placed aside, and walked towards the door.
"I'm going to class in the evening. Bye, Ace."
"See you tonight. I'll finish dinner and go home."
The girl walked out of the door and the boy sat on the sofa.
The girl started running, and the boy giggled unconsciously.
Almost at the same time, they picked up their mobile phones——
·
At the same moment, Caldesia’s home in the fixed wing area.
"Love turns wise men into fools and gentlemen into gamblers!"
The host on the TV screen read readers' messages in a mellow tone, which made the young lovers smile knowingly in real life.
"Is that so, Reiichi?"
"It's a bit exaggerated..."
Like every loving couple does, a couple in love is glued to the sofa watching boring TV shows. Just when Caldesia was about to change the channel, their cell phones rang at the same time.
The young lovers each looked at the caller's name and exchanged quick glances. Shigure Reiichi handed over the phone tacitly and turned the TV to mute. They pressed the answer button at the same time.
"Hey, hey~ What's wrong, Xiaoqian~?" Caldesia said enthusiastically.
"Are you finally awake, Gongsun?" Shiyu Rei asked calmly.
The voices of young men and women came out from the mobile phone with the same anxiety and uneasiness.
"Help, help, help, help me Caldesia!"
"Damn it, you really need to help your brother this time, Shigure-kun!"
The love-struck duo suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out, pretending to be serious and asked: "What's wrong?" "What happened?"
"I think...this time is..." Qin Qianbai said.
"I know this sounds bizarre, but I guess it might be..." Gongsun Ce said.
"Love Problem!" X2
