Chapter 238, Unchanged Fate
Si Xu met Jiang Ran, who was sent out by Tu Su, at the hospital gate. He stopped and did not go forward to disturb the two of them to say goodbye.
When his figure appeared, Jiang Ran saw him at a glance.
Tu Su also saw the young man waiting outside. He lowered his eyes and stopped: "He is here to pick you up, go ahead."
There was a light rain outside. The man stood in the rain, alone, his shadow stretched long and faint by the only street lamp that was on at the hospital entrance.
The drifting raindrops fell on the umbrella, blooming small flowers.
Jiang Ran took two steps outside, turned back to look at Tu Su, and asked, "Sir, will I disturb you if I come to visit you tomorrow?"
Tu Su nodded: "Come to my apartment tomorrow."
Jiang Ran waved: "Good night, sir."
She ran to the steps, and the umbrella in Si Xu's hand tilted over her head. He stretched out a hand, and when she held his hand, the curve of his mouth softened a little.
"Let's go back, Si Xu."
"good."
…
It was already midnight, and there was no one else on the street except the patrolling psychics.
Jiang Ran was so sleepy that her vision was blurred. She was led by Si Xu and walked forward with her eyes closed.
I accidentally stepped into the water on the road.
Hearing a "crash" sound, Si Xu stopped and looked back at her.
The girl rubbed her eyes, looked down at her feet in confusion, and pouted: "Professor Si, my shoes are wet..."
The little girl lowered her eyes, looking aggrieved. Si Xu took out a raincoat from the space and put it on her. He put away his umbrella and squatted down in front of her: "Come on, I'll carry you."
Jiang Ran, who had been waiting for these words, swiftly jumped onto his back and nuzzled his neck: "Professor Si, you're so kind."
Si Xu laughed: "Yeah, I'm really good."
Jiang Ran chuckled, leaned on his shoulder, and yawned: "Si Xu, since Mr. Tu Su was my father's assistant, do you have any impression of him?"
She had no impression of him at all, but his reaction tonight showed that they were indeed old acquaintances - at least the man knew her.
"I don't know him—your father has many assistants, and they change frequently."
Why do we have so many assistants and so often change them? Shouldn't assistants become more useful the more they're used?
"Is that so?" Jiang Ran rested her chin on the man's shoulder. Thinking of something, she raised her hand and touched the top of his head. "Si Xu, your hair is really not wet."
Su Qin said that he was a high-level water-based psychic, and that in snowy weather, he could move freely in the rain and snow without getting a scratch on him if he wanted to.
She once saw him walking on the snow with her own eyes, and the shock she felt at that time was beyond words.
She seems to be used to this situation now.
Jiang Ran touched his clothes: "They're not wet either."
"High-level water-based esper can do it."
"But among all the people I've met, it seems that only you can do it." Jiang Ran sighed, "It's the first year after the apocalypse, and there are very few high-level psychics."
"No, you know someone else who can do it."
The ones she knew? Of the water-based psychics, the only ones she was familiar with were Si Xu and Xie Chengzhi. Xie Chengzhi was the protagonist of the original novel, after all, and his abilities evolved quickly, but at the moment, he probably couldn't do this.
"Huo Lingge."
"Huh?" Huo Lingge is a water-based mutant?
"She killed Huo Siguo," Si Xu said. "That woman's water-based ability has mutated. It's very strange."
Just like Jiang Ran's superpowers were invalidated, Huo Lingge was clearly a water-based superpower user, but no superpower fluctuations could be detected from her.
"If she meets someone with a lower level of superpowers than her, that person will probably die without understanding what is going on." Just like Huo Siguo today and those superpower users who were defeated by her.
Huo Lingge is a high-level mutated water-based mutant. If that's the case, why did he listen to Luo Rui and become a puppet in her hands?
Why did she hide her special ability and stay dormant in the Huo family?
Could it be that there is some secret treasure in the Huo family compound that is not mentioned in the original novel?
There were too many thoughts in his mind and he couldn't grasp the clues for a moment. Jiang Ran sighed in frustration and was too lazy to think anymore.
The girl leaned on his shoulder, her breath softly brushing his cheek. Si Xu turned his head to glance at her and unconsciously slowed down his pace.
…
When I returned to the apartment, the living room was noisy - it was supposed to be a time for rest, but a group of people gathered in the living room, talking about something at once.
When Si Xu came back, Xing Xiaoyu was standing at the entrance. Seeing Si Xu and Jiang Ran, she blurted out, "Brother Si, you're back?"
Hearing her greeting, the living room suddenly became quiet.
Seeing two familiar figures, Si Xu's smile turned cold, and he thought: "Fate is really a strange thing."
He didn't greet the acquaintances, nor did he make any expression of his presence. He simply carried the half-asleep Jiang Ran across the living room and back to his room.
Seeing Si Xu again, Luo Rui's eyes were filled with complexity.
Her and Xie Chengzhi's disastrous defeat at the Xiling base was closely related to Si Xujiang Ranran. At that time, she had to rely on others, had no say in anything, and her action plan was restricted in every way, which led to her ending up like that.
now……
She looked at the extraordinary man beside her, and felt an irrepressible joy and happiness in her heart.
This person is the eldest son of the Luo family in Nanjun, and her brother...brother. It turns out that she is not a girl from an ordinary family. Like Jiang Ranran, she is also a lady from a wealthy family.
With the support of the Nanjun Luo family, she has the bargaining chips to fight against Xiling Laboratory and Si Xu.
"...What's going on between you and Si Xu Jiang Ran?"
Lost in thought, Luo Rui heard the last sentence of the young man's question and subconsciously looked at the brother she had just met: "Between... Si Xu and Ran Ran?"
Luo Yuting looked at her without saying anything.
For some reason, Luo Rui felt inexplicably guilty.
She looked away and replied calmly, "It's just a little misunderstanding - don't worry, brother."
Don't be careless.
Although Luo Yuting acknowledged her identity, he still couldn't figure out his attitude towards Si Xujiang Ranran, so he couldn't respond to his questions casually, so as not to make him feel disgusted with her.
Knowing that she was not telling the truth, Luo Yuting looked at Xie Chengzhi opposite him who was still in a state of shock. After hearing that Luo Rui was taken away by him, this guy who was chasing the remnants of Huo Xuan turned around in a hurry and ran to settle the score with him. After he explained Luo Rui's life experience, he sat there with a confused look on his face until now, without saying a word.
"I..." Unlike Luo Rui's joy, Xie Chengzhi hesitated and said, "I think there are still many questions about this matter. Mr. Luo, you just assume that Ruirui is your daughter based on a birthmark. Isn't that too hasty?"
Unexpectedly, he said something like this after holding it in for a long time. Luo Rui frowned, and her happy mood was disrupted by her boyfriend's words.
Yes, just based on a birthmark, Luo Yuting was sure that she was the daughter of the Luo family. What if he was mistaken? Or... maybe there was some other conspiracy? After all, Luo Yuting and Si Xu and Jiang Ranran seemed to have a good relationship.
