I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

Chapter 111 You Will Have Three Girlfriends in the Future

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chen got off work on time.

Xingyue does not encourage overtime, so leaders will not schedule meetings near the end of get off work like other companies, or suddenly assign you a work task before the end of get off work.

But even so, few of his colleagues are as active as he is, and most of them don't leave work on time.

Even though they no longer have a job, they still have to pretend to stay at their workstation for a while... I can only say that everyone wants to improve too much.

Of course, Lu Chen also wants to improve.

But he doesn't think leaving later than his boss every day is a plus.

Just like most teachers don't like students who like to tell tales.

But many people don’t know this and think that doing so will make the teacher look at them differently.

Little did he know that the latter was actually extremely upset.

"Brother Wei, Brother Yan, Sister Lily, let's go!"

After turning off the computer and saying hello to the three people, Lu Chen walked out of the office area with ease.

Since the finalization of his thesis, he no longer has to slack off in writing it, so now he doesn't carry a backpack when he goes to and from get off work every day. He just puts his keys and cell phone in his trouser pockets.

When passing by the tea room, Zhou Yan happened to come out with a cup of hot tea, and it seemed that she was not planning to leave work for the time being.

"..."

Looking at Lu Chen, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

Maybe he wanted to tell Lu Chen that he refused to be a regular employee.

But I don’t know why he didn’t say it out loud. In the end, he just smiled and nodded while holding the teacup.

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Lu Chen glanced at her, but did not take the initiative to ask about the regularization. He just responded and walked away.

After watching Lu Chen walk out of the office area, Zhou Yan withdrew her gaze and was about to go back to complete the work assigned by Miao Xiulan.

But at this moment, a slightly curious voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Xiao Zhou, huh? I heard from Lu Chen that you and he were classmates?"

"Ah... Sister Guan."

Looking back at the smiling Guan Li, Zhou Yan replied very politely: "Yes, we are classmates."

"So you and the eldest daughter of the Lu family are also classmates?"

Guan Li moved closer and lowered her voice to gossip, "Tell me secretly, what is her relationship with Lu Chen?"

The eldest daughter of the Lu family?

Lu Shuyu?

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Guan, I'm not sure."

"Haha, I'm just asking casually."

You're pretty tight-lipped... Guan Li changed her mind and tried to ask from a different angle.

"But I heard Lu Chen say that he has a girlfriend. Is that true?"

"this......"

After all, Zhou Yan had never been in society, so when she heard Lu Chen "admit it himself", she didn't think much about it: "Yes, he has a girlfriend."

"Isn't she the daughter of the Lu family?"

"No."

"..."

......

"What? My girlfriend???"

In the living room, Lu Chen's face was filled with shock. On the coffee table was a box of fish-flavored shredded pork rice and a box of fruit.

"Ah."

Xia Yunian opened the transparent plastic lid of the lunch box, looked at the full box of food, raised his head and whispered:

"Later, you can buy small portions."

“Big portion, can’t finish it.”

"Small portion... No, is this the time to talk about this?"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and frowned: "Don't eat yet, make your words clear first."

"Oh."

Xia Yunian put down his chopsticks obediently, placed his hands on his knees, and silently watched Lu Chen walking around in the living room, as if waiting for the teacher to ask questions.

After waiting for a long time, she finally heard Lu Chen ask the question.

"So, what does the end of the world have to do with my girlfriend?"

"No, it does matter."

Xia Yunian corrected softly: "Yes, you will know the truth because of her."

"What do you mean I will know the truth because of her?"

Lu Chen looked confused: "Listen to what you said and see if it makes sense."

It's quite smooth...

Xia Yunian muttered to himself, trying to find a more understandable statement, but after thinking for a long time he couldn't find one, so he kept silent again.

Seeing this, Lu Chen could only try to guess it bit by bit like guessing a brain teaser:

"Anyway, the destruction of the world wasn't caused by her, isn't that right?"

"Yeah." Xia Yunian nodded.

"But because of her, I will know why the world will be destroyed?"

"Yeah." Xia Yunian nodded again.

"Is it because of her identity, or because of something that happened during our time together?"

"do not know."

Xia Yunian shook his head: "But it must be related to her."

"..."

Lu Chen frowned and looked at her. He was silent for a while. He felt that the more he asked, the more confused he became.

Logically speaking, if you are destined to save the world, you must first know why the world was destroyed.

If it is a large-scale natural disaster, we have to find a way to make the authorities trust us and build shelters in advance.

If it is the Trisolaran invasion, we must quickly find the real Luo Ji.

If it's a nuclear war...then wait for death.

In short, the normal order is to first know the cause, and then prescribe the right medicine to save humanity.

And according to Xia Yunian, he would soon know the reason for the destruction of the world.

But I didn't hear her say it, I found it out myself.

And in this process, your girlfriend will play a crucial role.

Well...that's probably the situation.

But precisely because he understood Xia Yunian's meaning, Lu Chen became even more confused.

There are three points of confusion.

1. Xia Yunian's superpower is now at the second stage. Even if it has been strengthened, it is only "three minutes of time going back", not the third stage of "predicting the future".

So how did she know these things?

It can't be that the world will end in three minutes, right?

He clearly has no ability to predict the future, but he often makes some weird "prophecies"... What's the difference between him and the "half-immortals" who set up stalls on the roadside to tell fortunes?

Even worse than a fortune teller.

After all, no matter if they are reading your palm, calculating your birth date, or flipping through tarot cards, even if they are just making it up, they can at least give you some reasons.

But when Xia Yunian asked, he just said "I don't know", which didn't seem credible no matter how you looked at it.

Then, the second question arises -

2. Since you don’t believe it, how can you investigate the cause of the world’s destruction?

It's like a strange woman suddenly stops you on the street and says she is pregnant with your child.

A normal person would just call the person a psychopath and then turn around and walk away. How could they possibly go for a paternity test to prove their innocence?

What's more, Lu Chen's attitude towards "saving the world" is very clear.

Using superpowers to save a kid who has fallen into trouble in the zoo is fine, but saving the world is too big a responsibility. I have neither the interest nor the ability to take on such a task.

This would undoubtedly contradict Xia Yunian's "prophecy".

I don’t believe in the end of the world at all. Even if it does, I won’t be a superhero.

Therefore, he had no motivation to investigate the cause of the world's destruction.

Correspondingly, Xia Yunian’s prediction will not come true.

So no matter how you think about it, it's all nonsense...

He stopped and looked at Xia Yunian again. After a series of analysis, Lu Chen believed that the most reasonable explanation was that the former really had "hallucination".

He imagined a non-existent doomsday, and also imagined a second-year Japanese manga plot in which he and his partner saved the world, and he believed in it.

Considering that Xia Yunian's parents may have passed away, it must have been a huge blow to her.
