Shi Xi hesitated for only a second before asking tactfully, "Brother Si, have you heard anything about the news from the base?"
Shi Xi felt that Si Beiling was definitely not a gossip, and probably didn't know about those rumors like him, otherwise he would have come out to clarify them long ago.
Sure enough, upon hearing his question, Si Beiling looked puzzled, seemingly completely unaware of the situation.
Si Beiling moved closer to Shi Xi, and for a moment, the temperature of the fire-type ability user became more and more obvious.
"What?" He looked down at Shi Xi.
"Some people say that before Uncle Yu passed away, he used the entire wind training base as his dowry, so that you could marry Xiao An."
Tang Juedao.
"Haha." Shi Xi laughed awkwardly, looking at Si Beiling as if seeking approval, and said, "Isn't this absurd?"
"I knew it! No one would believe such a rumor."
Tang Jue simply smiled slightly.
Si Beiling did not speak.
Because he remembered the scene from that time—
Yu's father's gaze fell on the red ribbon that had accidentally fallen to the ground during the fight. He looked up at himself and asked, "Who gave you this?"
"I don't know, but it's very important to me."
He didn't remember where the red ribbon came from, only that it was a very important thing and he always carried it with him.
That's why I answered that way.
After a long silence, Yu's father handed over the training base and Shi Xi to him and left alone.
Then a gunshot rang out.
Before the end of the world, he met Yu's father and talked to him about this red ribbon.
Yu's father was naturally aware of his attitude towards Shi Xi.
It seems that at that time, Yu's father knew that even if he couldn't remember Shi Xi, he would still take good care of him.
At the time, he only felt that Mr. Yu's decision was too absurd.
"..." Shi Xi frowned as she looked at Si Beiling's reaction.
"Brother Si?"
Shi Xi poked his arm.
Tang Jue's smile faded slightly.
Si Beiling looked down and found Shi Xi looking at him with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
He spoke slowly, "It is indeed outrageous."
Shi Xi slightly raised her chin, glanced at Tang Jue, and said, "It's fake, it's been debunked."
Tang Jue simply nodded.
The slightly tense atmosphere eased.
It was at this moment that the waiter brought out three identical dishes.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise, "...What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to order this too, Brother Si."
The staff member who had finished serving the food and was slowly leaving had a smirk on his face.
He thought to himself.
hey-hey.
How could it be a coincidence? Si Beiling specifically ordered the same food as you.
Si Beiling seemed to only then notice, glancing down at Shi Xi's food. "The waiter recommended it to me."
Tang Jue smiled and said to Shi Xi, "As expected of your recommendation, it tastes great."
Si Beiling picked up a bite of food with his chopsticks, tasted it, and said, "It's really good."
Shi Xi: "???"
When did I recommend any dishes?
Didn't you tell the waiter you wanted the same thing as me?!
...
Half an hour later, as the meal was drawing to a close.
Tang Jue looked at Shi Xi, "I'll go get the files."
"Want to come to my house?"
He suddenly invited her, but Tang Jue's gaze was only on Shi Xi, and he didn't look at Si Beiling sitting to the side.
"Your home?" Shi Xi paused, then looked at him. "Is it far from here?"
"No." Tang Jue shook his head. "It's not far, about ten minutes round trip."
"Then go back and get it," Si Beiling said. "Jiu'an and I will wait here."
Tang Jue didn't respond to him, but looked at Shi Xi instead.
Shi Xi glanced at Si Beiling, then shook her head and said, "I'm not going."
Tang Jue nodded reservedly, then stood up and left the restaurant.
It was past lunchtime, and since they were sitting in a corner, there weren't many people in the restaurant.
After Tang Jue left the restaurant, Shi Xi looked at Si Beiling.
"Brother Si, have you ever looked in a mirror?" Shi Xi asked. "The mirror in your closet."
"It's been photographed," Si Beiling said.
He would look in the mirror in his closet every time he went out.
Shi Xi looked at the expression on Si Beiling's face and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the mirror.
But he still remembers the reflection of his face in the mirror when he looked at himself back then.
"Who were the people who went to Kangyi Laboratory to save me back then?" Shi Xi asked again.
His memory didn't include this part; it only included Song Guizhou leading him to his father, his father unexpectedly awakening his lightning-type ability, and then the establishment of the wind training base.
"Me, Song Guizhou, and Tang Jue," Si Beiling replied. "Back then, Kang Yi smashed a vial of virus, causing the apocalypse, and it was at that time that I awakened my superpower."
"They probably are too."
As for Kang Yi, when they fought him before, he used several supernatural abilities, so it's likely that he's no exception.
Shi Xi: "..."
So you all awakened superpowers, but I'm the only one who didn't?
Shi Xi tapped her fingers lightly on the table. If that's the case—
The people in the laboratory were the first to awaken and, so far, have the highest level of superpowers.
But there is a problem: can Song Guizhou, a healing-type ability user, really lead him to his father?
Keep in mind that S University and Sports University are two separate schools with tens of thousands of students combined, resulting in an astonishing number of zombies.
Shi Xi frowned. "Brother Si, do you still remember how you left S University?"
Si Beiling pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Xi, and said, "There weren't many people at the school back then?"
"Are you on vacation?"
"No." Si Beiling shook his head.
Shi Xi heard his words and remained silent for a moment.
There was no holiday, but not many people were there.
It sounds like there's something there that's keeping the zombies away.
Zombie King.
The zombie king was among them.
Si Beiling noticed Shi Xi's sudden silence and realized something was wrong from her earlier question. "...Who do you suspect?"
Since Shi Xi told him, it proves that he has cleared himself of suspicion.
That is indeed the case.
The reason is simple: Sibei Ridge is hot.
Shi Xi paused for a moment, then said, "It's also possible that he himself doesn't know the situation."
He was more inclined to believe this possibility, after all, his father's death was inextricably linked to zombies, and none of them were the kind of people who would do such a thing.
It is more plausible and more likely that the zombie king himself was unaware of the situation.
Just then, Tang Jue returned after retrieving the files and found that both of their eyes were on him at the same time.
"Thanks." Shi Xi took the file from Tang Jue, her fingers deliberately touching the back of his hand.
It is lukewarm.
After all, Tang Jue is an ice-type ability user, so it's normal for him to have a low body temperature.
On the contrary, Song Guizhou, who has healing abilities, has a body temperature lower than that of ice-type ability users.
But that doesn't make sense either, since Shi Xi still remembers that when Song Guizhou's superpower was upgraded, his body temperature was frighteningly high.
Tang Jue was stunned for a moment after being touched by Shi Xi before slowly withdrawing his hand.
