I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

Page 115

Good man, you are quite virtuous.

"No need, she's not a child anymore."

Lu Chen felt sorry for Qingbao and shook his head to refuse: "Besides, I'm not her babysitter, so I don't have the time to bring her food every day."

I do have time, but I can't go... Qin Wanqing gently advised: "Hey, it's only half an hour to go back and forth, just think of it as a walk after dinner."

"And we'll take good care of her so you can have an explanation to her parents in the future."

"..."

us?

Lu Chen paused while eating, looked up at Qin Wanqing, and suddenly felt that the latter seemed to be considering the issue for him in the way of a "virtuous wife".

Stop talking!

I will marry this woman!!

Even Jesus can't stop me!!!

"Let's talk about it later."

Resisting the urge to confess on the spot, Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's eat first."

"Oh......"

After all, he was Lu Chen's relative. Seeing that he still disagreed, Qin Wanqing couldn't persuade him anymore and had to lower her head to eat.

But after taking just two bites, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Lu Chen, did you just say that your sister is turning 18 today?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Isn't it her birthday today?"

"Yes."

"So did you buy her a cake?"

"I'm not her father, why should I buy her..."

Lu Chen was halfway through his words when he looked up and met Qin Wanqing's serious gaze, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Comrade Xiao Qin put down his chopsticks, shook his head very seriously, and said seriously:

"But you are her brother. Besides, her 18th birthday is so important. Her parents are not around right now. You should at least eat cake with her."

"Lu Chen, you have to listen to me on this matter."

"Eat quickly, then we'll go buy a cake and send it to her!"

Chapter 98 Where can I find such a virtuous sister-in-law?

"Uh, so I'm going up?"

At around 7:30, it was dark downstairs in the residential building with mottled walls and crisscrossing electric wires. Lu Chen, who had been away for less than two hours, never expected that he would be back again.

And he came back with Qin Wanqing.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Qin Wanqing handed over the beautifully packaged small box in her hand, which contained a piece of pudding cake.

Normal birthday cakes need to be made in advance and cannot be made at the last minute, so the two had to buy a small cake like this instead.

In this regard, Lu Chen thought it was good to have it.

But Comrade Xiao Qin felt very apologetic, thinking that Lu Chen had not taken good care of Xia Yunian and that she, as his sister-in-law, was also responsible.

As compensation, she even went to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers on her way here.

A bouquet of white lilies.

"By the way, don't mention me. Just tell your sister that you bought the flowers and the cake."

Qin Wanqing pulled the petals to make the lilies look more lively, and whispered: "This is how you act like a brother, otherwise she will think you don't value her."

"Okay, okay, got it... Then wait for me downstairs and don't run around."

Holding the flowers in one hand and the cake in the other, Lu Chen couldn't persuade her and could only say helplessly, "I'll be down soon."

"No, you have to at least finish eating the cake with your sister!"

Comrade Xiao Qin glared at him and said, "You are not allowed to come out within half an hour!"

"..."

Wow, it’s a good thing Xia Yunian is only 18.

Otherwise this scene would be a bit too weird.

Lu Chen was speechless for a moment, and after a while he asked again, "You really aren't going up?"

"No."

Qin Wanqing pushed him with a guilty conscience: "Go quickly."

"Oh......"

Lu Chen nodded, and walked into the unit door under Qingbao's gaze. Not-so-bright lights soon lit up in the corridor.

After all, it is an old house. Although the voice-controlled lights are still working properly, they are working like European workers. It feels like they will go on strike at any time.

In the dim light, Lu Chen climbed to the fifth floor at a moderate pace and knocked on the east door.

There was darkness in the cat's eyes, as if the lights were not on.

Ok?

out?

After waiting for a while but no one opened the door, Lu Chen thought Xia Yunian had gone out and felt a little annoyed for a moment.

But just as he was hesitating whether to make a phone call to ask, the door was slowly pushed open with a very slight unlocking sound.

The security door with a big red door sign creaked open halfway and then stopped. The room was dark, and a motionless black shadow stood behind the door...

In this scene, if someone as timid as Qin Wanqing were to happen, she would probably scream out of fright on the spot.

Although Lu Chen was a bit braver, he still felt a bit scared.

"No, why don't you turn on the light?"

He squeezed into the door, fumbled on the wall for a while, and randomly found a switch and pressed it.

"pat~"

The ceiling light in the living room came on, and the dark shadow turned into Xia Yunian, who was wearing pajamas with a crow print.

"What? Are you ready to go to bed now?"

Glancing at her, Lu Chen walked into the living room and placed the flowers and cake on the coffee table.

The sudden brightness made Xia Yunian a little uncomfortable. She squinted her eyes for a long time before she followed him to the living room with a dazed look on her face. She asked in confusion:

“You, this is…”

"Oh, my girlfriend heard that it was your birthday today, and she insisted that I bring you a cake."

Lu Chen did not take all the credit as Qin Wanqing had instructed. He told the truth: "She bought both the cake and the flowers."

"Is this so..."

Xia Yunian was stunned for a moment, opened and closed his mouth, as if he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Okay, don't be touched, just sit down, I'll leave after you finish eating the cake."

As Lu Chen spoke, he took out a palm-sized pudding cake from the box, and then took out the candles and disposable paper plates and forks that he had bought separately for ten yuan.

He took out a candle and went to the kitchen to light it on the stove. When he came back, Xia Yunian was still standing there stupidly.

"No, why are you still standing? Sit down."

"Oh......"

Xia Yunian lowered her head a little embarrassedly and sat on the sofa. At this time, Lu Chen also inserted the candle into the center of the cake, and then turned the cake into a circle with the pointed end facing Xia Yunian.

After finishing all this, he pulled a small stool and sat down opposite the coffee table. He said quickly as if he had completed a task:

"Although we have only known each other for one day, we both have superpowers, so we are destined to be together."

"But if you want to thank someone, you should thank my girlfriend. She was the one who insisted that I come to celebrate your birthday with you."

"It's said that turning 18 is a very important birthday, at least you have to have a cake or something..."

"Anyway, now that we are here, I will wish you a happy birthday once again. I hope you can find your parents soon, and I also hope that the world will not be destroyed."

"Okay, make a wish."

After saying a lot of things, Lu Chen's tone was not impatient, but it could be said to be perfunctory.

Xia Yunian just stared at him blankly, and at a certain moment, her eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly.

But calm was restored soon after.

Lu Chen looked at her and asked, "Did you just go back in time?"

Xia Yunian's eyes widened slightly: "How did you know?"

"Guess."

She almost cried, but she turned around and everything was fine... Lu Chen rolled his eyes: "Okay, make a wish."

"Oh......"

Xia Yunian avoided looking, seeming a little embarrassed.

After a long while, her breathing gradually stabilized. She looked at the slightly swaying candlelight, and then slowly closed her eyes.
