Chapter 91 Love Troubles
Zhong Mengfan was sipping a sweet drink. He wasn't a big fan of sweet things, but Wen Xiaye liked the taste. So, while waiting, Zhong Mengfan casually ordered the brand's sweetest drink. The juice passed through his tongue, and the sweet taste reminded him of Wen Xiaye, and a faint smile curled his lips.
"Sitting here alone, drinking a drink with that silly smile on your face, what are you thinking?" Chen Xingyun couldn't help but complain when he saw Zhong Mengfan. "Wow, it's 100% sweet. Only girls like to drink something this sweet, right?"
"Hmm, it's sweet, but I think it tastes good. Do you want to try it? I'll treat you."
"No." Chen Xingyun shook his head and sat down on the chair opposite Zhong Mengfan.
"Did you dye your hair?" Zhong Mengfan noticed that Chen Xingyun's hair color changed from black to dark green.
"No, I stopped using hair dye. This is the color of my hair after awakening. Dyeing hair is too troublesome. If you are not careful, the original color of the newly grown hair will show on the top of your head, and that... will be very weird. Compared to having a little green on your head and having all green hair, I still chose all green." When he said this, Chen Xingyun frowned.
"No, that's not what I was talking about." He pouted and said helplessly, "Anyway, returning to your original hair color is a kind of compromise with yourself. I really envy those of you who haven't changed your appearance much after awakening."
"Well, I do. My hair went from straight to naturally curly."
"Your changes can be ignored." He asked Zhong Mengfan again, "Tell me, what's the matter with you asking me out?"
"Well, this is what I have. I have a friend..."
Before Zhong Mengfan could finish his words, Chen Xingyun interrupted him, "Stop, this is such a familiar, clichéd opening line. Shouldn't the next line be - your friend is yourself?"
Zhong Mengfan was stunned.
After a few seconds, he slowly sighed and said, "Is it so obvious?"
But Chen Xingyun answered very casually, "Well, I'm just guessing."
Zhong Mengfan: ...
Now, it was Zhong Mengfan's turn to be speechless.
Since he had already guessed it, Zhong Mengfan put down his drink and said, "Okay."
He continued to organize his words hesitantly, then spoke very slowly, "I have someone I like, very much, and I want to confess to him when the opportunity is right. So, I want to ask, as a friend, do you have any good advice? To be honest, now whenever I think about that person and confessing to him, I get nervous and have no idea what to do. This is the first time I've fallen so strongly in love with someone like this."
Zhong Mengfan finished a long speech but did not get any response from Chen Xingyun. He raised his head and found that Chen Xingyun was looking at him with a very intriguing look.
I couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look at me like that?"
"In fact, superheroes are a respectable profession with a high social status. With this identity, it is not difficult to fall in love and meet high-quality partners. But you show this nervous, uneasy and distressed expression, so you like your colleagues - superheroes." This is an affirmative sentence.
Zhong Mengfan swallowed his saliva and hesitated between continuing to confess that the person he liked was Wen Xiaye, and concealing the identity of his crush.
Chen Xingyun shook his head and even looked at Zhong Mengfan with a hint of pity.
"What's that weird look you got?"
"You're the weird one. Why are you so depressed when there are so many options for you to choose from? Don't you know that workplace romance is a taboo among professional heroes? And the person you fall in love with is your teacher, and that's Nox!!!" Chen Xingyun's voice broke at the end.
After being exposed, Zhong Mengfan simply admitted, "I like summer nights, why not?"
Chen Xingyun knocked on the table, making a noise, trying to wake Zhong Mengfan up. "Ye Shen is an A-level psychic! This means that you will be completely open and honest in front of him, without any secrets or privacy.
If it were just a master-disciple relationship, he might have resisted the urge to spy on you, but people are selfish. Once the relationship breaks through and becomes that of a close lover, he won't be able to restrain himself from using his mind-penetrating abilities on you. "Chen Xingyun spoke excitedly, as if he were the person whose secrets were being discovered," he said.
Zhong Mengfan said dissatisfiedly, "Don't make Xia Ye sound so scary, and your assumption is impossible to be true now. It's just that I have a one-sided love for him..." At the end, he sighed.
Chen Xingyun looked at Zhong Mengfan with a look that said, "Young people without social experience still know too little." He said, "Then let me ask you, after becoming a professional hero, have you become accustomed to using your abilities anytime, anywhere?"
Zhong Mengfan nodded and said, "Of course it is. Being able to skillfully use and master one's superpowers is the most basic requirement for a professional hero." Just like when Zhong Mengfan was feeling lazy, he would often use his superpowers to help himself take things from a distance.
Chen Xingyun hypothesized, "So, what if you didn't use your supernatural powers for the entire day?"
"You might feel very uncomfortable, or you might use it subconsciously at some point."
Chen Xingyun snapped his fingers and pointed at Zhong Mengfan. "That's right. After awakening, superpowers are like a part of our body, just like breathing. Using them is instinctive for those with superpowers. If you become Ye Shen's lover, and you have a secret you don't want to tell him, and he happens to notice it, you're hiding something from him."
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "So, do you think that Ye Shen, wanting to know the secret you're hiding, might use his most proficient psychic abilities on you to dig out the secret without you even noticing?"
