Chapter 732 - Suppressing Esper Abilities!
Qin Shuang was stunned. She hurriedly said, “Damn, it is my ultimate dream to find out, but it hasn’t come true yet, right? I’m not too sure.”
Just as she said that, Empress raised her phone and showed her the list of trending topics. It was filled with #Cen Bai Announcing His Love#, #Cen Bai Qin Shuang#, #Cen Bai’s Mysterious Girlfriend Exposed#.
“…”
Empress silently sighed. “To think that I was worried about your future back then! I didn’t expect you to have already snagged our idol long ago!”
Qin Shuang: “!!”
She said weakly, “Hey, listen to me. I…”
…
The fans were very proud of Qin Shuang’s relationship announcement!
Their idol had actually gotten Cen Bai. Didn’t this also indirectly highlight their idol’s prowess?
Hence, Qin Shuang’s fans had been comforted effortlessly. Only then did she realize that after Cen Bai announced it last night, Cen Bai’s Weibo, which was about to grow grass from inactivity, actually had a new Weibo message posted:
Cen Bai: “Let me introduce you to my girlfriend, @Qin Shuang.”
Qin Shuang: “!!”
…
After Qin Shuang left the special department, Xue Xi, who had not returned to school for a few days, decided to do so now.
As the acting director of the mathematics department, she still had many things to settle.
When they heard that she was back, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia ran over. Coupled with Qian Zheng, who happened to be here to attend an art exhibition, they gathered together and the topic of conversation became:
“Too sweet, too sweet!”
“Ah ah ah, it’s actually announced! I’m no longer the only one who knows the secret!”
“But speaking of which, the two of them are really compatible! In the past, I always felt that Qin Shuang was not worthy of Brother Cen Bai, but now, I feel that Qin Shuang is also outstanding!”
Cen Bai and Qin Shuang’s relationship had been exposed, and it was still the hottest topic at the moment. Hence, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia could not stop talking, but the little cutie, Qian Zheng, held her chin and looked a little lost.
When Xue Xi saw this as she was dealing with an academic research application in her hand, she walked toward Qian Zheng. “What’s wrong?”
Qian Zheng was listless and withering. When she heard this question, she sighed silently and waved her hand. “It’s nothing. I’ve been studying oil painting for a long time, so I feel like vomiting when I see oil paintings now! Sigh! Xiao Yuan on the internet is so cute, but why is Fu Yuanxiu so annoying in real life?”
Xue Xi: “…”
She was a little surprised. “Fu Yuanxiu doesn’t know that you’re Little Cutie?”
Back then, Qian Zheng had used the name Little Cutie to have an online romance with Fu Yuanxiu. Later, when Qian Zheng realized that the other party was Fu Yuanxiu, she immediately ran away. However, in reality, because of a bet with Gu Yunqing, she’d had no choice but to learn oil painting from Fu Yuanxiu.
However, Gu Yunqing was already gone. Logically speaking, the bet should have been called off long ago. But Qian Zheng, who’s such a bad student, was actually still studying?
What was even more unbelievable was that, even though Fu Yuanxiu looked like a smart person, he actually did not realize Qian Zheng’s identity?
This did not make sense.
Just as Xue Xi was feeling that something was strange, Qian Zheng’s eyes suddenly lit up. She lowered her head to look at her phone. “Hehe, my Xiao Yuan sent a message.”
She did not avoid Xue Xi and Xue Xi simply looked over.
Xiao Yuan: “What are you doing? Have you eaten?”
Qian Zheng replied sweetly: “I’m with a friend and haven’t eaten yet. Now that you ask, I suddenly feel like eating dancing crabs! Have you tried it? It’s delicious! Let’s go eat it when we have the chance!”
Xiao Yuan: “Okay. I have to get busy now.”
Little Cutie: “Go, go.”
After sending the message, Qian Zheng put down her phone.
Xue Xi: “…Are you guys still dating?”
Qian Zheng was very conflicted. “That’s right. I like Xiao Yuan as always, but it’s so strange. The real Fu Yuanxiu is really annoying. He’s too strict, just like my father! He’s always controlling me. I clearly know that they’re the same person, but why do I like Xiao Yuan but hate Fu Yuanxiu?”
Xue Xi: “…”
Someone as slow as her could not possibly understand such complicated feelings.
Just as she said this, Qian Zheng’s phone rang again.
Qian Zheng took a look and said in fear, “Fu Yuanxiu sent me a WeChat message!”
She was logged into two WeChat accounts on her phone. When she tapped on the other account, she was feeling smug. “In order to hide my identity, I’m so smart as to have especially created a side WeChat account to add him in real life.”
Just as Qian Zheng finished speaking, she saw the message and frowned. “Ah ah ah, Fu Yuanxiu actually asked me to eat dancing crabs! He’s too despicable! I don’t want to eat with him!”
After saying that, she was just about to reply when she saw Fu Yuanxiu’s next message: “You’re treating in place of the tuition fee for my lessons. Don’t tell me you don’t have money?”
Qian Zheng: “???”
The greatest pain in Qian Zheng’s life was being accused of having no money. She panicked. “I’m so poor that I only have money left. How can you say that I don’t have money? If you want to eat, just eat. I’ll order a table of crabs and let you see how much money I have in my card!”
As she spoke, she agreed.
Xue Xi: “…”
Seeing Qian Zheng stand up as though she was on the battlefield, the corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched. She could not help but ask, “Are you sure that Fu Yuanxiu doesn’t know that you’re Little Cutie?”
The little cutie, Qian Zheng, immediately beamed with joy. Her round eyes were shining. “Of course. I’m so smart that I hid it well! I haven’t thought about it yet. Should I reveal it to Xiao Yuan?!”
Xue Xi: “…”
She suddenly felt that Qian Sanjin’s younger sister’s IQ might be a little low. No matter how much money she had, it would not be enough. However, Qian Zheng was running out honestly despite saying that she was unwilling. Seeing that the little cutie could not wait to meet Fu Yuanxiu, Xue Xi decided not to tell her the truth.
Little Cutie was too pitiful. Let her think that she was very smart.
After Qian Zheng left, Xie Yingying and Li Zixia finished chatting about Cen Bai and also left.
Xue Xi felt a little thirsty and took a glass of water from the water dispenser in her office. Just as she was about to drink it, a cold and slender finger reached over and snatched the glass away from her.
Xue Xi turned around and saw Xiang Huai standing beside her. This person took her water and even said, “Let me try it first.”
Xue Xi: “…”
Ever since this fellow had said that he wanted to eat and stay with her for a week, he had been following her. When she returned to school, Xiang Huai followed her.
Xiang Huai had to taste her food first, as though he could not wait to feed her personally.
Xue Xi sighed. “There’s no poison in the water, right?”
Xiang Huai: “…”
What should he do if the little kid was too smart and too intelligent?!
Xiang Huai raised an eyebrow and did not feel awkward at all after being exposed. He said shamelessly, “I’ll only know after I try.”
He took a sip of water and his expression changed drastically.
Xue Xi was stunned. “Is it really poisoned?”
After Xiang Huai suddenly wanted to eat and live with her, Xue Xi had guessed that this person might be suspecting that someone was drugging her.
Actually, she did not believe it.
Back in the orphanage, ever since she was young, she had never offended anyone. As an ordinary person, how could she be so dangerous?
However, Xiang Huai definitely had good intentions, so she did not reject him.
Seeing Xiang Huai’s expression, she frowned.
Xiang Huai looked up with a cold glint in his eyes. “No.”
Just as Xue Xi was about to heave a sigh of relief, she heard him say, “It’s just a medicine to suppress your special power.”
Xue Xi widened her eyes. “Suppress my special power?”
Xiang Huai nodded and downed the water in the glass. He gently placed the glass aside and smiled. “The reason you can’t use your special power is because of this medicine.”
Xue Xi was enlightened. “So that’s how it is. I thought my special power was useless, so I couldn’t use it.”
“How can it be useless?” Xiang Huai’s eyes suddenly turned deep. The 1.85-meter-tall man looked down at Xue Xi with a doting and affectionate expression. His words were filled with pride. “You’re far better than you think. You have no idea how formidable your special power is.”
