Chapter 59 Becoming an Adult
"Huh!!!" Zhong Mengfan showed a frightened expression.
"If you're so afraid of your secret being discovered, then work hard to become an A-class hero."
Perhaps because my tone was too casual, he was dissatisfied and said, "Don't use such a casual tone to talk about becoming an A-class hero to someone who just got promoted to C-class."
I propped my cheek with my hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, even if you haven't reached A-level, I won't use my ability to see what you're thinking."
Zhong Mengfan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true. You're an A-rank hero, a beacon of justice. No matter what, you wouldn't do something like recklessly use your abilities to spy on others."
"That's not the case." I pointed at his face. "Your thoughts are all written on your face. You don't even need to use your ability to see them."
Zhong Mengfan: ...
In his silence, I said, "I was kidding."
If you use the potion to fall into a deep sleep, it can even change a person's thoughts and will. Of course, I will not tell Zhong Mengfan this sentence, and the more frightening ones.
"...Really?" he said doubtfully.
"If the facial expression is too obvious, I can guess a little, but it's impossible to know everything without using my special abilities."
Zhong Mengfan touched his cheek. "But I can't hide my expression or my inner thoughts when something happens. Doesn't this mean that I'm still a person with no secrets in front of you? Wow, how scary."
After saying this, he drank the cocktail in his hand in one gulp as if stimulated.
I also took a sip of wine. "I'm not a pervert. Besides, there are conditions required to put someone into a hypnotic state."
She glanced at him again calmly and said, "Besides, I have no interest in the secrets in the little devil's heart."
He banged his fist on the bar, making a noise. "Protest! You are discriminating against me based on my age!"
"I'm just speaking the truth, and by the way, I want you to have a greater sense of crisis and motivate you to work hard to become an A-class hero."
"Hmph..." He stretched out his tone, expressing dissatisfaction. "With a teacher like you who is not gentle at all and has a devilish nature, I feel a sense of crisis every day."
I didn't care about his complaints: "Please maintain this state and turn it into a driving force for growth."
…
Zhong Mengfan had a speechless expression on his face.
I pointed at his empty glass and said, "You're done, would you like another?"
He hesitated, "But I'm worried that we might run into our target here tonight."
“It would also be strange to come to a bar and have only one drink from start to finish.
Besides, you'll be too conspicuous in your professional hero uniform, and with me, who looks like an assistant, by your side, people will be staring at you from the moment you enter, wondering if you're a superhero or just imitating their attire. So, relax a little and don't treat this as a mission you have to complete. You're here tonight just to try your luck."
"...Well, another one then."
“Try some other cocktails.”
Zhong Mengfan nodded, and I ordered another cocktail from the bartender.
The prepared wine was placed in front of us again. This time, Zhong Mengfan took the initiative to move the wine in front of him and took a sip.
I asked "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, it tastes pretty good, a little sweet. Speaking of which, this is my second time drinking outside, the last time was also with Xia Ye. Coming here, it feels like entering a very different world."
"Well, it's proof that you have grown up a little bit." I spread out my palm and gently hooked my little finger.
He was obviously not happy with how I described "Hey, hey."
"Next time, someone else will probably buy you a beer or something. Once you enter this circle, besides me, you'll get to know many other people with special abilities."
"No, next time I'll buy you a drink first," Zhong Mengfan decided. "Like when you do something great like saving the world, or when I become a B-class hero or something. Or maybe it's just for no special reason, like now, because we're partners in action."
I laughed out loud when I heard his words. "Haha~ Indeed, we are partners now, and there will be many opportunities to drink together."
Zhong Mengfan also laughed, "Isn't it?"
I took the initiative to pick up the glass. "Well, cheers."
Zhong Mengfan clinked glasses with me and said, "Cheers!"
As we were talking, a young woman's voice came from behind us, "Two little brothers~"
Zhong Mengfan and I turned our heads at the same time.
