Chapter 118 Happy Birthday
Dining room
bump!
Zhong Mengfan was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his eyesight had not fully recovered yet, so he accidentally bumped into the leg of the dining table.
"Be careful." I reached out and gently held his arm.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just not used to walking blindly."
As Zhong Mengfan spoke, he felt around for the table and the chair beside him, finding his seat before very slowly sitting down. After settling down, Zhong Mengfan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
I sat down next to Zhong Mengfan and said, "The doctor says that with your healing powers, it'll take several hours for your eyesight to fully recover. There's no need to go back to this restaurant we ate at last time. I can create this place in my dreams so you can see it and taste it."
He replied, "But then, in your dream, the restaurant's appearance would be completely restored, and the food's taste wouldn't change. And I would definitely still look like myself."
I rubbed the glass with my fingertips and did not refute Zhong Mengfan's words.
"Sir, here is the menu." At this time, the restaurant waiter brought the menu.
Since my appearance had not recovered, the waiter naturally placed the menu in front of Zhong Mengfan, who looked like a young man.
But Zhong Mengfan's eyesight had not recovered, so I prepared to take the menu and order.
Zhong Mengfan didn't look at the menu. He naturally said the name of the dish, and then asked the waiter to take the menu away from the table.
I said, "It's been almost a year since we last came to this restaurant. You have a good memory and can still remember the signature dishes here."
Zhong Mengfan smiled and said, "Every time I come to this restaurant, happy things happen. The good memories will always remain in my mind. And I remember that these are also your favorite dishes."
I have always had a special obsession with food, but this hobby is ultimately related to my special abilities.
"I don't actually have any research or preference on the dishes here. I just choose the signature dishes of every restaurant I go to. Since everyone else chooses the same, I order the same thing. So, you don't need to remember these specifically." I said this to Zhong Mengfan.
Since we are destined to part, there is no need to attach too much importance to memories and details, or even care about me as a person.
If nothing unexpected happens, the life of a high-level psychic will be very long, and Zhong Mengfan will also have a much longer life than an ordinary person.
Although professional heroes are always surrounded by unknown dangers and threats of death, for the legendary hero Ranger, the only one who can pose a life-threatening threat to the Ranger is the chameleon leader, Colorless, who is like his nemesis.
So, Zhong Mengfan will be safe.
Thinking of this, and because his eyes damaged in the battle had not yet recovered, at this moment I looked at Zhong Mengfan with a somewhat intriguing look.
: You will become the best hero ranger.
This is my affirmation and blessing as a teacher.
As for me now, and the time I spent with Zhong Mengfan, they are just a tiny part in the life of the ranger.
He will see more scenery in the future.
But Zhong Mengfan still insisted after I finished speaking, "I want to remember. I will remember everything about you and will never forget it."
"Do you like me that much?"
Although I had already made up my mind not to respond to Zhong Mengfan's feelings, at this moment, I still couldn't help but ask this question.
Then I immediately thought that my words might have unintentionally put him in a difficult position.
After all, Zhong Mengfan had cried her eyes out in front of me the last time. Just as I was about to speak again, I used another topic to evade my previous words.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Mengfan simply admitted, "Yeah, I like it."
Even, he felt that this expression was not enough, and soon continued, "I like it very much, it is my favorite."
Zhong Mengfan's face did not show the panic expression I expected, and his words were so straightforward that I felt a little at a loss.
"The life of a superpowered person is so long, there's no need to draw conclusions now. Even after this birthday, it's still too early."
"Xia Ye said that he is much older than me." He first mentioned the age difference between us, and then asked me, "So, Xia Ye, have you met your favorite... person?"
Perhaps because of the exchange, Zhong Mengfan now has a deceptive and mature appearance. When facing this face, he always subconsciously does not want to use overly casual answers to perfunctory him.
So I answered, “No.”
"Heh~" Zhong Mengfan chuckled, his meaning unclear, and said to me, "Well, I'm actually a little luckier than you."
I:
To my bewilderment, he continued, "I've met it. I've decided it's my favorite."
I looked at Zhong Mengfan carefully for a moment and felt that he had become different. It must be because of his face.
After not hearing my voice for a long time, Zhong Mengfan asked, "Xia Ye, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Yes." I replied indifferently.
"What."
"I still can't seem to get used to your face now. Fortunately, it will soon be back to normal. A little kid should look like a little kid."
Zhong Mengfan: ...
My words really ruined the atmosphere, but I did it on purpose.
And so we finished our meal together.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhong Mengfan took off his sunglasses and blinked. "Ah, my eyes have finally recovered. It feels so good to be able to see!"
Then he called my name again, "Xia Ye."
"Um"
He looked at me with a very serious, irresistible look and said, "Before we switch back, can I hug you for a moment?"
Zhong Mengfan seemed afraid of hearing my rejection, and before I could think of how to respond, he reached out and gently hugged me.
Then he quickly let go of me, took a small step back, and said to me again, "I will feel regretful."
"What's the regret?"
"I regret not being able to meet you during this period."
I pointed at my face and said, "When I was this age during this period, you were still a child." Maybe you weren't even born. Of course, I didn't say this out loud.
"Yeah, but there's still that feeling of incompleteness, like something's missing. I haven't seen you as an ordinary person before you stopped being a pro hero. I haven't seen the process of how you became a pro hero. There's so much, so much..."
"It makes me have a wish that I know is impossible - why couldn't I meet you earlier?"
Although I knew Zhong Mengfan had been in a bad mood recently, I didn't know how to comfort him and cheer him up. Because I was the one who caused Zhong Mengfan's low mood.
I raised my arm and patted Zhong Mengfan on the shoulder. "It's good like this now."
It's good to keep it like this.
The barriers between us are not just the master-disciple relationship and age.
"I'm sorry, Xia Ye. I seem to have said something that may have troubled you." Zhong Mengfan showed an expression that I could not explain, as if he had a premonition of another meaning in my words.
Then he apologized to me again, "I'm sorry, I like you, it's my feelings, it should be my own thing, but I have burdened you."
In the end, I followed my heart and said to her, "Don't look like that, let alone apologize. Besides, I've already seen what you're saying."
He looked puzzled, not understanding what I had seen.
"Your appearance. When you were still an ordinary person, and when you first became a professional hero, I saw it all. Even in the future, I will continue to watch you inherit the Ranger's heroic name."
Zhong Mengfan said, "I have become a better person because of Xia Ye. It's great to know you and meet you."
"Please take another good look at me now, even though this is not my true appearance."
"You'd make a great hero. In return, I can see you as you were. As for your current form, I'll be able to see you in the future, too."
"Happy birthday, Zhong Mengfan."
