I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

"..."

Oh my god, is my social phobia acting up?

"alright."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Chen walked aside to make way for the boy waiting to get his ticket. "I thought you've been working in a convenience store for so long that you're no longer afraid of interacting with strangers."

"If the distance is far, it is possible."

Xia Yunian explained weakly: "But if I get too close, I'll still be nervous."

"How close is close?"

"Almost...this far."

Xia Yunian pointed at the boy who was about one meter away from her and was picking up the ticket at the machine, and answered truthfully:

"This distance is already a little uncomfortable."

Lu Chen: “…”

Boy: "..."

No, don't say such things in front of others!

"Dude, I'm sorry, she's a little socially anxious."

Lu Chen apologized to the shocked boy with an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly pulled Xia Yunian away.

After walking a few meters, he stopped and said seriously:

"Next time, don't use other people as examples!"

"If a stranger said that they would feel uncomfortable if they were too close to you, would you feel good about it?"

"Maybe they'll beat you up!"

"..."

Hit me......

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Yunian finally realized that he had done something wrong.

After looking back at the boy's "lonely" back, she turned around and asked softly:

"I want to go back in time, can I?"

According to Article 2, Paragraph 3 of the "Treaty on the Use of Superpowers", unless it is an extremely urgent situation, Xia Yunian must inform Lu Chen before using time reversal.

Xiao Xia is a person with a strong sense of contract. She has always been conscientiously abiding by the "Cohabitation Convention" and this unequal treaty which is currently only verbal and has not yet been formed into a written agreement.

So before she "made amends for her mistake", she first asked Lu Chen if she could do so.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"You can, but you can also choose to explain it to him."

"I think it's better to face up to your mistakes than to avoid them."

"Of course, the choice is yours, you decide for yourself."

Shaking his head, Lu Chen stopped talking and didn't say much.

However, Xia Yunian already understood what he meant.

Escape?

Lu Chen was right. It seemed like he had been avoiding it all along...

Escaping from the departure of parents, from society and strangers, and even from myself...

Biting her lip, Xia Yunian suddenly lowered her head and fell silent.

She originally thought that she had changed a lot, but now she realized that she actually hadn't changed.

And if Lu Chen hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't even have realized this...

"Then I'll go and apologize."

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yunian suddenly raised his head and said nervously but firmly: "I, I won't run away again."

"it is good!"

Lu Chen immediately encouraged him: "I believe that as long as you explain it clearly, he will understand."

"Um......"

Xia Yunian took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go."

"Go!"

"W-won't you come with me..."

"..."

My goodness, I’ve been trying for so long but still don’t dare.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately encouraged himself: "Believe in yourself, you can do it too!"

"Really..."

"necessary."

"Then don't wander around, just look at me here..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere! You should go quickly, or everyone will leave."

"..."

Looking back at the boy who had already picked up the ticket and was about to leave, then looking back at Lu Chen, after hesitating for a few seconds, Xia Yunian finally plucked up the courage and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, okay!"

Chapter 339 Xia Yunian's Social Skills Training Plan

It feels a bit awkward...

Three minutes later, Lu Chen silently looked at Xia Yunian who was talking face to face with the boy not far away, thinking that this should be a huge challenge for the latter.

Judging from the current situation, the apology is not going smoothly.

Because boys look more embarrassed.

Xia Yunian, on the other hand, had a worried look on his face and was gesticulating while explaining something.

I guess I said something that caused the boy to misunderstand me.

Shaking his head, Lu Chen did not step forward to help, but stood there and watched.

Just like when Xia Yunian was thrown into the water by Lao Lu as a child to "teach himself" to swim, he believed that one day Xia Yunian would have to face these problems alone.

This is why he just said, "It is better to face it than to escape."

After all, Xia Yunian’s ability to travel back in time will soon disappear. If he still thinks of solving problems by “starting over again” when he encounters them, he will inevitably become more autistic in the future.

What if I can't think straight and commit suicide again...

Well, probably not.

However, we cannot take it lightly and must always pay attention to Xia Yunian's mental state.

Traveling through time again is no big deal, but waking up to find that your "cousin living together" has suddenly died is truly terrifying.

"Hold......"

Just imagining the scene in his mind, Lu Chen felt a chill on his back, so he quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped thinking about these messy things.

At the same time, Xia Yunian finally ended the conversation with the boy and walked back with a stern face.

He walked at first, then his pace quickened silently, and finally he jogged... In just a distance of ten meters, Xiao Xia changed his speed three times, which showed that he was really eager to go home.

"Finished?"

Lu Chen crossed his arms and asked casually, "Have they forgiven you?"

"I should, I should have forgiven you..."

"What do you mean by should? What did you say?"

"I, I just said, I don't like being too close to strangers."

Xia Yunian repeated in a low voice: "It's not directed at him, please don't think too much about it."

"That's good, what did he say?"

"He asked if you were my boyfriend."

???

Hmm? Did the topic change so quickly?

No wonder this guy came to the movies alone, it seems like he really wants to fall in love.

Lu Chen was slightly stunned and turned to look at the boy who was still standing not far away.

The boy was also looking at him at this time, with a rather strange expression.

Some envy, some surprise, and some shock.

Or admiration...

No, what are you admiring?

She's an adult!

I have confirmed the ID card!

Lu Chen thought that there must be something wrong with Xia Yunian's answer, so he retracted his gaze, took a deep breath and asked:

"Then how did you answer?"

"I said, you are my cousin."

Hmm? That's a pretty normal answer.

"and then?"
