Xue Xi: “…”

She could not fly.

More accurately, she could not concentrate. As long as she focused, her mind would be filled with mathematical formulas. She could not hold her breath and focus on this matter.

After trying a few more times, Xue Xi was certain that Jing Fei was either lying to her or that her special power was limited. Anyway, she could not use it now.

The rest simply gave up.

Zheng Zhi, who was beside her, had been very worried when Xue Xi was unconscious, but at this moment, he started saying, “Heh, she’s already awakened a useless special power, but she still can’t use it now. Seriously…”

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Yanchen shot him a glance. “Are you looking for death?”

This young man took action better than he spoke.

However, Zheng Zhi was not afraid at all. After all, he was 25 years old. How could he be afraid of a 19-year-old?

He straightened his neck. “Who are you talking to? Do you know who I am? I’m a P9 in the special department. Even if you enter the special department, you’ll start from P1. You’ll do whatever I tell you to do!”

The moment he said this, Gao Yanchen moved his wrist. His unruly eyes were filled with impatience. “Cut the c.r.a.p and give it a try?”

Zheng Zhi: “…”

However, before Gao Yanchen could do anything, Jing Fei had already pounced over and sat on Zheng Zhi’s shoulder. “Son, why don’t you say that again? Whose special power is useless? Huh?”

“…”

Gao Yanchen paused and retreated to stand beside Xue Xi.

Xue Xi ignored the two of them and turned to look at Gao Yanchen. “Are you… a fire-type?”

Xue Xi did not remember what happened after she fell, but she was very anxious.

Gao Yanchen nodded. “I also awakened my special power when I fell off Bin Mountain last time.”

“Oh,” Xue Xi replied, then asked calmly, “What is your compensation?”

She was a little worried about Little Flame.

Elder Feng’s compensation was his own life.

Jing Fei’s compensation was fear of heights.

All of this meant that the awakened special power was related to their compensation.

Could Little Flame’s compensation be very scary? He used his special power yesterday…

Gao Yanchen coughed and said calmly, “It’s having a bad temper and wanting to hit someone.”

He looked up at Zheng Zhi and Jing Fei. “I used my special power yesterday, so I really want to attack today.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Back in Bin City, you had never used your special power yet still wanted to attack people. Now, you’d actually found an excuse for your bad temper?

This compensation—was still acceptable.

Hence, a compensation was not necessarily a bad thing.

While Xue Xi was whispering to Little Flame, Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi were already locked in a fierce battle. The two of them rolled to the sofa beside them.

Zheng Zhi: “Get down!”

“I won’t! Unless you apologize to me, Son!”

“Get down!”

“Apologize!”

“…”

It was a little noisy.

Just as Xue Xi thought this, the door suddenly opened and Xiang Huai stood outside.

The man was wearing a black jacket and his leather shoes were covered in dust. It was obvious that he had rushed back.

When Gao Yanchen saw him, he instinctively turned his head away and did not dare to look at him.

He looked at the two people who had just fought and realized that Jing Fei and Zheng Zhi were already sitting on the sofa. The two of them were talking with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Jing Fei: “Son, look at this case. Who do you think the murderer is?”

Zheng Zhi: “…Mhm, it’s definitely not him.”

After saying that, they turned around and pretended to be surprised. “Eh? Old… friend, you’re here?”

Xiang Huai shot them a glance. “Mhm.”

The two of them immediately stood up. “Let’s go out and discuss this case.”

When they reached the door, Jing Fei turned around and grabbed Gao Yanchen, leading him out. “He Gao… No, Gao Yanchen, right? Let’s discuss this matter. You should join the special department.”

Gao Yanchen: “?”

He shot a glance at Xiang Huai and finally walked out with the two of them.

When they reached the door, Jing Fei said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Xiang, Sister Xi awakened her special power yesterday, but she forgot about what happened.”

After saying that, the three of them walked out. Jing Fei even closed the door considerately.

Only the two of them were left in the room.

Xiang Huai took a step forward and did not care if his clothes were dirty. He sat by Xue Xi’s bed and asked, “How do you feel?”

Xue Xi: “…I only remember falling off the cliff. I don’t remember anything else.”

“You don’t remember?”

The travel-worn man’s long and narrow eyes lit up slightly. He then frowned hesitantly. “Have you also forgotten that we talked on the phone last night?”

Xue Xi: “?”

She was confused. “Did we talk?”

Xiang Huai nodded. “Yes, you also promised me something.”

Xue Xi: “…What?”

Xiang Huai’s voice was low. “You promised me that you’ll put down your books and the laboratory tomorrow to accompany me for the whole day.”

Xue Xi: “?”

Seeing her confusion, Xiang Huai sighed. “You don’t even remember? Then… Forget it. I’d especially pushed back a very important meeting. Sigh!”

He looked sad and disappointed.

Xue Xi held his hand. “…Then let’s go on a date. We can’t go back on what we promised.”

Xiang Huai’s eyes lit up and he said naturally, “Then you will listen to me tomorrow, okay? No matter what I do, you won’t change your mind, right?”
