Chapter 89 – How Did You Get Up There?
Sixth High’s monthly exams for the day finally ended.
Picking up her school bag, Little Peach marched toward the school gate with stiff but powerful steps.
On her way back home, she avoided eye-contact with others while also behaving courteously to her fellow pedestrians, stopped at red lights, and continued walking at green lights. Even her gait was measured, the steps she took never deviating by more than half a centimeter.
Fifteen minutes later, she arrived before the apartment building the Chen family resided in and entered the elevator.
“Ho-Hold up! Wait for me!”
At this time, a young man carrying a large bag filled with milk tea and snacks came running over in a hurry, the man stretching out his leg to stop the elevator door from closing.
“Stop talking about this. Find… Find a way to get that propeller down for me. I need to lie down for a while. Ugh… I’m dying…”
“Understood.”
After saying so, Little Peach took the chair in front of the study desk and placed it beneath the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. She then jumped onto the chair and grabbed the propeller with both hands before yanking hard.
Crack!
The propeller came out of the ceiling.
At the same time, fragments of the ceiling board and concrete also fell.
Chen Yu: “…”
“Mr. Chen, I got it down,” Little Peach joyfully said as she raised the propeller in her hands.
Clang!
As soon as Little Peach was done speaking, a large piece of concrete fell from the ceiling and hit Little Peach on the forehead. However, despite the heavy impact, Little Peach remained smiling as if nothing had happened at all.
“Oh, my god…”
Covering his face, Chen Yu no longer wished to think about anything as he shut his eyes.
Meanwhile, after jumping off the chair, Little Peach carefully inspected the Spiral Ascending Aircraft before saying, “Mr. Chen, there are no damages. This propeller is very sturdy.”
“Yes, but the room isn’t.”
“It’s fine. The damage to the ceiling is only on the surface.”
“Fine.”
Patting his head and feeling slightly more comfortable, Chen Yu sat up and looked at the ceiling. “No more rocks will fall down, right? I’ll get injured if one lands on my head.”
“That won’t happen. Everything that will drop has dropped.”
Clang!
In the next moment, another piece of concrete fell and landed on Little Peach’s head.
“What were you saying?”
“I said everything that will drop has dropped.”
Clang!
Another piece of concrete fell…
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, “I know you’re not afraid of pain, but it looks very unpleasant for me. Can you not stand directly below that hole?”
“Okay.” Taking a few steps back, Little Peach asked, “Mr. Chen, do you need me to repair it? All I need are the raw materials.”
“No, there are hundreds of lives living in this building.”
Getting out of bed, Chen Yu circled around the damaged area of the ceiling and walked up to Little Peach. He then grabbed the Spiral Ascending Aircraft from her hands and gave it a thorough inspection, finding that there was indeed no damages to the aircraft. At most, there were some scratches on the three propeller blades.
“As expected of a material from the future. It really is strong.”
After placing the aircraft to a corner of the room, Chen Yu looked up at the ceiling and felt his head ache.
He could only seek out the help of professionals to repair this kind of damage. While he was at it, he might as well get his floor repaired as well.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu made an appointment with a renovation professional. After doing so, he returned his attention to Little Peach and asked, “Did today’s exam go well?”
“Yes!” Little Peach nodded.
“Did you know how to answer all the exam questions?”
“I didn’t know how to answer some of them. Moreover, the logic of many questions is inherently wrong.”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Chen Yu said, waving his hand. “Did you behave normally throughout the entire journey?”
“Very normal.” Little Peach nodded heavily. “I even managed to tighten your relationship with one of your neighbors in the elevator.”
“It’s fine if you just act normally. I’m mainly afraid you’ll expose your real identity,” Chen Yu solemnly said. “You are the only loophole in my impeccable concealment.”
“Rest assured, under your careful guidance, I can already perform both crudely and finely. I definitely won’t expose you.”
“It’s crude in most matters, but subtle in some!”
“Right. Crude in most matters, but subtle in some.”
“Stop using this phrase. Switch to using cautious and meticulous.”
“Cautious and meticulous.”
