Super God: There's a mischievous Xi in my head

"This...is incredible!" Qi Lin murmured incredulously, turning her head and scanning the entire room with her eyes.

The fine cracks on the wall, the veins of the leaves a hundred meters away from the window, and even the dancing trails of dust motes in the air under the light were all presented to her with unprecedented clarity.

She subconsciously clenched her fist, feeling as if her body was filled with unprecedented power, and her sense of lightness and the sharpness of her five senses were elevated to a whole new level.

"Is this... the power of super genes?" She looked at Cang Yu, her eyes filled with wonder and excitement.

Cang Yu smiled and nodded, accepting her thanks, but his eyes were gentle and he did not take credit for her.

"Um... thank you, Cang Yu." Qi Lin thanked him again solemnly, her tone sincere.

"You're welcome," Cang Yu said naturally and kindly, with a reassuring warmth. "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Friends...?" Qi Lin repeated the word softly, a subtle warmth rising in her heart.

"Of course, we're friends." Cang Yu's tone was firm and unquestionable. He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and made the suggestion.

"It's getting late. You've been through so much tonight, you need to get some rest. There are guest rooms prepared on the second floor, you can stay there for now."

Qi Lin did feel physically and mentally exhausted. After the excitement brought by gene activation subsided, a strong sense of weariness surged up.

She nodded, accepting the offer; she did need rest to process what had happened during that incredible night.

Cang Yu then turned to the two angels and asked in a calm tone, "A-Zhui, Youyue, is there anything you want to ask?"

Ah-Zhui immediately smiled and shook her head, her eyes clear and firm:

"My idol, we don't have anything to ask." Her trust was pure and unconditional.

Youyue stepped forward gracefully, a captivating smile playing on her lips, and replied:

"Don't worry, my little god. Once we angels have made up our minds about someone, we will never have any more doubts or distractions."

As she spoke, she drew closer, finally stopping less than ten centimeters from Cang Yu's face. Her breath was sweet, and her voice was soft yet carried a resolute determination that shook the very soul:

"So, no matter what secrets you're hiding, little heartthrob... I believe in you."

This sudden close contact caused Qi Lin, who was standing to the side, to widen her eyes instantly.

Even Ah-Zhui felt her heart skip a beat.

The ambiguous and tense atmosphere prompted Cang Yu to cough lightly, cleverly changing the subject:

"It's getting late, everyone must be hungry, right? I'll go prepare dinner."

He then got up and headed towards the kitchen. Seeing this, Ah-Zhui immediately followed, her tone light and cheerful:

"My idol, I'm here to help you!"

In the blink of an eye, only Youyue and Qilin remained in the living room.

Facing this powerful and unpredictable angel senior, Qi Lin couldn't help but feel a little nervous and uneasy.

Youyue took in her awkwardness, a knowing smile playing on her lips. She gracefully picked up her teacup, her voice as soft as if making casual conversation, yet she posed a question that went straight to the heart of the matter:

"Little girl, don't be nervous. Tell me... do you like our Xiaoyu too?"

Qi Lin was caught off guard by this sudden, direct question. Her cheeks flushed bright red, and even her ears turned crimson.

She instinctively wanted to deny it, but faced with Youyue's amber eyes that seemed to see right through people, she couldn't bring herself to say anything against her conscience.

She lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and admitted in a voice barely audible:

"I... I don't know if that counts as liking someone... It's just that I can't help but think of him, my heart races when I see him, and he's the first person I think of when I'm in danger..."

Youyue looked at the shy yet honest girl in front of her, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

She took a small sip of tea, her tone carrying a gentle yet shrewd air of someone with experience:

"This is what it means to like someone, silly girl."

She put down her teacup, leaned forward slightly, and lowered her voice, as if sharing a secret:

"However, falling for that little guy might be tough. After all, you see, there are more than just one or two people eyeing him."

Youyue glanced meaningfully toward the kitchen, where Azhui's cheerful laughter could be heard.

"But it's okay," Youyue suddenly smiled again, her smile carrying a hint of encouragement.

"Angels may admire true love, but they are not narrow-minded. Beautiful things are worth striving for bravely, as long as the means are upright and honorable."

The atmosphere in the kitchen was completely different from that in the living room, filled with the clatter of spatulas and the aroma of food.

A-Zhui helped Cang Yu prepare the ingredients with smooth movements, her washing and cutting skills were quite efficient.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. As she handed over the chopped vegetables, she asked softly:

"My idol, you seem to have a special feeling for that Officer Qi Lin?"

Cang Yu was focused on tossing the dishes in the pan, and upon hearing this, his wrist movements did not stop at all.

He turned his head and gave A-Zhui a faint, somewhat meaningful smile, asking instead of answering:

"What, don't you think... some of her traits actually align with the creed of you angels?"

This unexpected question startled Ah-Zhui, causing her to stop what she was doing and begin to think about it seriously.

Ah-Zhui blinked her clear eyes and began to think seriously about what Cang Yu had said.

She recalled Qi Lin's courage in facing the monster, her unwavering determination to shoulder responsibility despite her fear after learning the truth, and her instinct as a police officer to protect the people...

These qualities truly align with the justice, courage, and protective spirit that angels admire.

"Now that you mention it, my idol..." Ah-Zhui nodded thoughtfully.

"Miss Qilin's heart truly shines with a very pure light. If guided properly, she may indeed become an excellent guardian in the future."

As she spoke, a smile of appreciation for fine qualities, characteristic of angels, appeared on her face.

But then, as if remembering something, she asked again in a playful and probing tone:

"But, my idol, is your admiration for her really just because you think she's 'suitable for the role of an angel'?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yu simply smiled meaningfully, placed the stir-fried dish onto a plate, and did not give a direct answer.

"The food is ready, take it out."
