“My hands are about to give out.” Tang Huoyang drooped his arms, looking over with a resentful gaze,? you’re really inhuman.”
“Don’t think I didn’t hear you cursing me…” Pei Jinye said with a dark line on his face, “But did you unlock your Transcendent ability? Why do I feel like you’ve gotten much weaker than before?”
“Bullshit!” Tang Huoyang retorted on the spot: “You think I can enhance my abilities just by saying so? If it were so easy to elevate Transcendent abilities, there wouldn’t be so many losers around.”
Pei Jinye was about to say something when suddenly his phone vibrated, and he was somewhat surprised to see the caller ID.
If he remembered correctly,
That number had tried calling him once before at noon.
“Scam calls can’t even bother to change numbers these days?”
Tang Huoyang saw him hang up and said in dismay, “You’re not taking the call?”
“I don’t know them, anyone I know has their number saved.”
Tang Huoyang was choked up by Pei Jinye’s matter-of-fact manner, “Logically impeccable, but what if it was some girl smitten with you who got your number from someone, and you didn’t know about it?”
“I’m begging you, don’t jinx it.”
As they were speaking,
The phone vibrated again.
This time the other party sent a message: [Is this Student Pei Jinye? I’m Sun Ruofan.]
Pei Jinye:
He gazed up solemnly.
This harbinger of doom.
Tang Huoyang “accidentally” glanced at the message and murmured a “six,” then waved his hands and winked, “I’m going to take a leak. Don’t wait for me if you’re busy with something.”
After speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave.
With a sigh, Pei Jinye called back the number and was connected almost instantly.
A familiar voice immediately jumped out, “May I ask if this is Student Pei Jinye?”
The speed of the phone call’s connection startled Pei Jinye.
Could this girl have been waiting by her phone the whole time?
“It’s me, I didn’t save your number, so I didn’t know it was you.” Pei Jinye went out of his way to explain for once.
“Sorry, I got it from one of your classmates, and I apologize for not getting your permission,” Sun Ruofan seemed very cautious.
This made Pei Jinye’s eyebrows raise slightly.
The girl was seeking him out for something.
But compared to those cunning old foxes, she seemed too naive.
Compared to a slick businessperson like Jiang Lingsu, she really wasn’t in the same league.
Of course, guessing by Pei Jinye’s character,
Perhaps this was something that the girl called Sun Ruofan was deliberately showing.
So, he casually said, “So, is there something you need me for?”
“That…” The girl hesitated for quite a while before shyly asking, “When will you be free, maybe we could go to the library together?”
“The library?”
Pei Jinye’s expression turned strange and he paused.
Girl, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?
Do you believe I’d tear up a book on the spot?
“If you could live your life over again, is there anything you would want to change?”
“No, I’m quite content with my life as it is.”
“Student Pei, do you think justice can maintain order?”
“What kind of justice, for instance?”
“For instance?” Sun Ruofan was bewildered by Pei Jinye’s counter-question, and after a pause, she said while counting on her fingers, “Using powerful abilities to help those in need… in this world, Transcendents are not the mainstream.”
Pei Jinye tilted his head and looked at this somewhat idealistic girl, picked up the coffee from the table, and took a sip.
After listening to Sun Ruofan describe her imagined world, Pei Jinye spoke slowly, his tone indescribable, “Do you believe in light?”
“Huh?” Sun Ruofan was taken aback,
As if she hadn’t caught on.
She asked tentatively, “Light?”
“I have a friend who said that as long as you believe in light, Ultraman will always be there.”
“Who is Ultraman?”
“Another friend of mine who especially likes fighting monsters.”
Seeming to half understand, Sun Ruofan remarked, “You have so many friends.”
“Are you satisfied with your current life?” Pei Jinye took over the conversation and asked in return.
“I… it’s actually pretty good,” Sun Ruofan pondered, tilting her head.
Unbeknownst to her, Pei Jinye was leading the conversation, with Sun Ruofan faithfully following step by step, and the girl didn’t know how to refuse or perhaps she was gradually falling into Pei Jinye’s narrative.
When she vaguely heard something, she couldn’t help but interrupt cautiously, “What you mentioned just now about prosperity, what did you mean?”
“Right, national peace and order are prosperity.”
“What else?”
“Like freedom, like equality…”
Sun Ruofan was completely captivated by the world described by Pei Jinye.
All of a sudden, she felt that the ideal world she had always wanted to depict had taken form in that moment.
She couldn’t help but look up at Pei Jinye, “Do you think such a society could exist?”
“Of course,” Pei Jinye looked at her oddly, “Do you yearn for it?”
He felt strangely inside.
He had merely imparted the values of his previous life because he didn’t want to listen to a girl describing an impossible world to him.
He had never imagined… its impact could be so profound.
“I yearn for it,” Sun Ruofan blurted out, but after she spoke, she realized she had said too much and suddenly clamped her mouth shut.
Pei Jinye, fully aware, said nonchalantly, “It will come true.”
Sun Ruofan seemed to somewhat understand.
Pei Jinye put down his coffee cup: “Thanks for the treat, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
Sun Ruofan suddenly snapped back to reality.
By the time Pei Jinye had picked up the phone from the table and left, he was already getting into a black sedan parked at the door.
