Chapter 79 My wish came true

Inside, it's another world entirely.

The white corridor is full of futuristic technology, with a holographic operating interface suspended in the air. Uniformed staff members come and go with solemn expressions.

This place is more shocking than any science fiction movie he has ever seen.

They were taken to a registration office.

A young registrar who looked a little lazy was operating the transparent light screen in front of him while yawning.

"Name, age, ability awakening time, specific description of the ability..."

Gu Chaoyu answered concisely.

When the registrar finished entering the two people's information and found that they had no intention of joining, he seemed to remember something, suddenly looked up, and looked at them with a somewhat sympathetic look.

Then he casually said, "Oh, by the way, let me remind you."

"Abilities are useful, but be careful with them."

"Every time you use it, you are overdrawing your vitality."

"According to our statistics, the average lifespan of people with special abilities is usually ten to twenty years shorter than that of ordinary people."

"So, don't be too extravagant."

【Short life! 】

Lin Muci was a little scared, he grabbed the corner of Gu Chaoyu's clothes tightly,

Will we die prematurely?

[I was just... just now with Xiaoyu-ge...]

I don't want it!

【I want to be with Xiaoyu all the time and spend more time with him! 】

Gu Chaoyu's heart was also shocked!

He could clearly feel the fear in Lin Muci's heart.

But on the surface, he remained calm.

He turned around and held Lin Muci's cold hand tighter, using the warmth of his palm to silently comfort him.

【Don't be afraid, Xiaoci, I'm here. 】

【Things may not be what he said.】

【Calm down first.】

Although his heart was already filled with huge waves, he could not fall down. He had to block all the wind and rain for the person in his arms.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

“Nonsense!”

A middle-aged man with a special badge on his shoulder strode over.

He glanced sharply at the registrar.

The latter was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair and remained silent.

"Who told you to talk nonsense here?!"

"Director... Director, I..."

"Go and receive your punishment!"

"yes!"

The middle-aged man was the director of this branch.

He turned to Gu Chaoyu and Lin Muci with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, both of you. It's our fault that we said something irresponsible. Please don't take it to heart."

"Come with me, someone wants to see you."

The director led the two of them through layers of checkpoints and finally arrived in front of an ancient wooden door.

As soon as the door opened.

What hits you in the face is the warm sunshine and the fresh fragrance of flowers and plants.

This turned out to be a room that had been converted into a sunroom, filled with all kinds of rare green plants, especially several pots of blooming orchids with elegant postures.

In the room, an old lady with gray hair and a kind face was holding a small watering can and patiently watering the orchid.

"Grandma Oracle." The director bowed respectfully, "I've brought the person here."

The old woman turned around slowly.

Her eyes were gentle and penetrating, as if she could see through everything.

"My mother-in-law knew you two would come, so she told me to invite you over to meet her," the director explained.

The oracle smiled at the two of them.

"Good boy, come and sit down."

She pointed to the wicker chair beside her.

After the two of them sat down, she got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Children, do you know where your abilities come from?"

The two shook their heads in confusion.

A knowing smile appeared on the face of the oracle mother-in-law.

"Ability is the deepest and strongest desire in your heart."

"This desire was heard by the 'God of Legend'."

“So, He turned this desire into a gift and gave it to you.”

Hearing this, Lin Muci's face suddenly turned red.

What is your deepest desire?

[So... it's because I really want to interact with Gu Chaoyu, but I'm too socially anxious to take the initiative, so my ability is to turn into a cat so I can stay by Gu Chaoyu's side without any burden and at ease?]

【Oh my god... So that's how it is! 】

[So... so embarrassing! ]

Gu Chaoyu's gaze fell intently on Lin Muci.

His desire...

On his 25th birthday, his strongest desire was to see through his father Gu Ming's heart and find out whether there was any place for him and his mother in that man's heart.

After moving next door to Lin Muci, his desire turned into wanting to know what this little guy, who had been thinking about him for more than ten years, really felt for him.

I see.

"Then... then why must I remain single for twenty-five years?" Lin Muci blushed and asked in a low voice the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

The oracle mother-in-law was amused by him.

"Haha, that's just a 'bad taste' screening condition set by the God of Legends."

She suddenly changed the subject and pointed directly at the deepest fear in the two people's hearts.

"As for lifespan..."

"That's even more nonsense."

Lin Muci and Gu Chaoyu raised their heads at the same time.

"The essence of ability is energy," the oracle explained. "If you abuse it without restraint to satisfy your own selfish desires, you are truly overdrawing yourself, and a short life is natural."

"but……"

"If you use it to do good, to protect those you love, and to uphold the righteous path, then every time you use it, you will receive positive feedback from the world."

"This kind of feedback will not only not harm your life, but will nourish your soul and body."

She looked at them tenderly.

"Since you acquired your abilities, you have cured illnesses and saved lives, thwarted conspiracies, punished evildoers, and protected those around you. These are all 'great merits'."

These words, like a ray of warm light, instantly dispelled the haze of short life in the hearts of the two.

"We respect your decision not to join the Bureau," the Oracle said finally, "because I can see that your 'Tao' lies in protecting each other's mortal lives, not in the rules and regulations of an organization."

"Go live the life you want to live, kids."

These words made the two of them completely let down their guard and feel an unprecedented sense of freedom and joy of being recognized.

…

After leaving the building and standing in the sunlight again, both of them felt as if they were in another world.

They held hands tightly, and both had a new consensus in their hearts.

Ability is not a burden.

It is the most romantic bond between them and the best tool to witness and protect this happiness.

Return to the apartment.

The celebration party is still going on.

Seeing them return safely, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

Their safe return made the celebration atmosphere even more lively.

During this time, Zhou Yang accompanied Su Wanqing to deal with the mess in the studio, appease clients, and warn those who were behind the incident.

The two went through a severe test together and their feelings quickly heated up.

Under the instigation of Gu Ze and Lin Muci, Su Wanqing blushed and finally accepted Zhou Yang's identity as her "boyfriend".

That night.

The noise faded away and the night became quiet.

In the bedroom, Gu Chaoyu held Lin Muci tightly in his arms and whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"My wish has come true."

Lin Muci nudged himself in his embrace, thinking to himself: [Me too!]
