I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

Lu Shuyu asked back faintly: "Are you trying to say that the boy is not actually you?"

"Uh...it's me."

Lu Chen walked quickly into the stairwell, his voice echoing: "But I'm not going there to play, I'm going to do research."

"Research?"

"Yes, my thesis is related to zoos, so I need to do some field research."

"So who is the girl in the video?"

"That's the girlfriend I mentioned before."

"So, even when you went to the zoo for research, you chose to go with her and forgot about me?"

The stairwell was empty, with a faint smell of cigarettes, probably because someone had just smoked here.

Lu Shuyu's question hit the nail on the head, but Lu Chen rolled his eyes, thinking, who the hell do you think you are?

I already said she was my girlfriend!

Even if she is “not really” a girlfriend, her priority must be higher than you, a simple friend!

Why does it sound like I cheated on you?

"Well, let me explain..."

If it was someone else, such as Zhou Yan, Lu Chen would have hung up the phone by now.

But Lu Shuyu was his benefactor after all, so he could only patiently say in a low voice:

"I wanted to invite you, but I was afraid you didn't have time, so..."

"You haven't even asked me, so how do you know I don't have time?"

Lu Shuyu interrupted angrily, sounding very unhappy: "Lu Chen, you don't keep your word. If we are not friends, I will hate you."

"Well, strictly speaking, I didn't go back on my word..."

Lu Chen mumbled and began to reason: "I promised you that I would take you out to play when I have time, not that I would definitely take you with me when I go out to play. There is a big difference between the two."

"One is a necessary condition, and the other is a sufficient condition. In short, I don't have to take you with me when I go out to play. Besides, I'm not going out to play."

"You should understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

"Squeak~"

The thick fire door was pushed open a little bit. Someone poked his head in to take a look. When he saw Lu Chen, he retracted his head and muttered something like "Math class".

Lu Shuyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about the logic behind Lu Chen's words.

About ten seconds later.

"I don't understand. I have forgotten what I learned in high school."

It’s best if you forget, because I forgot too, and what I just said was all made up.

Lu Chen said in a serious tone: "If you don't understand, then don't understand. Anyway, I won't lie to you."

"Really?"

"of course."

"That...okay then."

Although she was still a little confused, Lu Shuyu finally believed for the time being that Lu Chen was not going back on his word.

After hesitating for a moment, his voice became much softer.

"Are you injured? I saw in the video that you fell pretty hard when you jumped. I'll ask Uncle Li to arrange for a hospital so you can go get checked out."

Arrange hospital...

Lu Chen keenly grasped the key point of this sentence.

Even if most people want to help, they would probably say, "I'll arrange for you to go to the hospital for a check-up."

And what Lu Shuyu said was, "I will arrange a hospital, you can go for a check-up."

Although it is just a change in order, it shows that the thinking habits of rich ladies are indeed completely different from those of ordinary people.

"It's just a little scratch."

Silently sighing at the disparity of the world, Lu Chen decisively refused: "It's almost healed, no need to bother."

"It's not a problem. My mother owns the hospital."

“…That’s not necessary.”

"Okay, then I won't tell Uncle Li."

Lu Shuyu did not insist any longer. After a brief pause, he felt that he had laid enough groundwork and finally stated the real purpose of his call.

"Lu Chen, tomorrow is Friday. I remember you only have four days of internship a week."

"Ah."

"Have you finished your paper?"

“I just finished writing it last night.”

"So......"

Lu Shuyu just said a conjunction and then nothing else, waiting for Lu Chen to take the initiative to invite her, showing the "restraint" of a young lady.

Of course Lu Chen understood what she meant and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"How about this, I have to go back to school to hand in my paper tomorrow morning, and I have to buy a gift for Wang Tianyu in the afternoon."

"If you have time, let's go shopping in the mall together in the afternoon, and then celebrate Wang Tianyu's birthday in the evening."

"Is this arrangement okay?"

"Row!"

Lu Shuyu did not hesitate, his voice was happy and loud, just like a child who had been looking forward to going to the amusement park for a long time.

"Then let's make a deal! You are not allowed to go back on your word this time!"

"I've never broken my word before...Okay, I have to go to work."

"Yeah, you're busy!"

"Well, bye..."

Lu Chen pouted and was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly thought of his dream last night, so he asked tentatively -

"By the way, what kind of animals do you like?"

"Animal words..."

The person on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "Swan!"

Well, it is indeed the aesthetic taste of a young lady.

"okay, I get it."

Lu Chen nodded and hung up the phone, thinking that it was unnecessary for him to ask this question.

How can you take dreams seriously?

It’s obvious that Lu Shuyu would never like crows.

Therefore, there will be no conflict between crocodiles and crows, and falling in love and saving the world is nonsense.

I must have been obsessed with writing my thesis recently...

He shook his head and was about to go back.

As a result, Wang Tianyu called again.

"Hey."

"Fuck! Lu Chen, you finally answered! Last night..."

"Fuck away!"

"Damn... Did you know you're on the trending search?"

"How did you know it was mine?"

"With your appearance, I can recognize you even if you burn to ashes! But then again, you are really not afraid of death!"

"I am doing this for justice, you know nothing!"

"I don't understand, I don't understand. I just want to know who is the woman next to you?"

"It's your mother."

"You bastard! #@**......"

"..."

The stairwell separated by a fire door was filled with morning light. Lu Chen and Wang Tianyu were arguing madly over the cell phone signal. Their relationship also switched back and forth between father and son, grandfather and grandson, stepfather and stepson.

At the same time, in a small county town three thousand kilometers away, a hooded girl was huddled in front of a computer with her knees hugged. Her hand holding the mouse was so pale that it looked almost pathological.

Thick black curtains blocked out all sunlight, and the entire bedroom was pitch black. Only the flickering blue light from the computer screen vaguely outlined her thin figure.

In the interface of the video processing software, there was a clear image of Lu Chen’s face.

And in the big headphones, every word that Lu Chen said to Tiger the day before was clearly repeated over and over again.

"..."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hooded girl just stared at the computer motionlessly. After about half an hour, she silently picked up her mobile phone and opened the ticket purchasing app.

"Hmm? No more money?"

Looking at the prompts on the screen, the girl bit her nails gently, seeming to be in distress.

After a moment, the bare feet finally left the chair and tapped lightly on the cold floor.

"Click~"

Soon, the door opened and closed, and the room became silent. Only the second hand of the clock on the wall moved "tick, tick, tick".
