But guess what will happen when Chen Xiao says these words to the heroine Xiao Qing?!
These few words are a knife! A peerless, sharp dragon-slaying blade!!
In an instant, it pierced through the protective net in Xiao Qing's heart that she had painstakingly woven for so long—the net of unrequited love!
What made it even more embarrassing was that Chen Xiao's eyes showed some guilt: "Um... does it still hurt here?" He pointed to Xiao Qing's lips. Hmm, he really hurt himself when he bumped into her just now. This girl must be in pain too.
Chen Xiao sighed, reached out, and quickly touched Xiao Qing's delicate face, his fingers gently stroking her rosy lips...
"You...you..." Xiao Qing stared at the other person in disbelief, letting the other person's hand touch her face—God is my witness, since she became an adult, no man of the opposite sex has ever been able to touch her face! It's not that no one has tried; Xiao Qing has encountered several lecherous men who wanted to do this, but before they could even finish, they all got the same result: their arms were broken by the Xiao family's grappling techniques!
At that moment, feeling the other person's fingers stroking her face, Xiao Qing could barely breathe! No, not just almost, she really couldn't breathe!
Imagine how powerfully those words, like "Your future children will call you Mom," would be for a girl who is deeply in love with someone but secretly harbors a crush on them!
And the subsequent act of stroking her face and lips, with its overtly suggestive and lewd nature, is incredibly shocking!
Although Xiao Qing was a strong girl, in an instant, she was overwhelmed, defeated, and crushed by this sudden, unprecedented, and intense feeling of happiness...
He's stunned!
With his eyes closed, Chen Xiao stared in disbelief as the girl in front of him suddenly collapsed into his arms and fainted!
Chen Xiao was stunned!
He instinctively grabbed Xiao Qing to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Then... he looked around.
The tree in the yard was broken, and the fallen trunk crushed a flower bed. The wall of the main room collapsed, and the house was now a pile of ruins. In addition, three girls fainted in different ways and in different positions.
But……
God is my witness, I am innocent! I did nothing!
Chapter 264 [Shh!]
Similarly, at this moment, in another direction from Xiaojia Town, near the western entrance of the town, in a room on the second floor of a two-story inn.
Old Tian glanced at the time and frowned, saying, "Why hasn't Xiao Qing come back yet?"
"Let's wait." Shi Gaofei lay on the bed with a pillow behind his back, but his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, watching the news from Lingnan Provincial TV, clearly somewhat absent-minded.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?" Old Tian sighed. "That kid is currently at the Xiao family's place."
"Alright, I'll give you two choices." Shi Fei sat up slightly. "Choice one: we storm into the Xiao family now. This kid hasn't regained his senses. With the combined abilities of the few of us, he can easily rout us. Then, in a fit of rage, he can turn this place into a bloodbath, just like we did in Japan." He glanced at Lao Tian's furrowed brows and laughed. "Don't like that? Fine, then choice two: this kid has regained his senses, and that girl Xiao Qing insists on going back to see him alone… Heh, that's clearly a selfish request. You're old enough to understand that, aren't you? Do you want to go and ruin their plans now?"
Old Tian sighed deeply: "This... is what I'm most worried about."
He then lowered his voice and muttered, "One is troublesome enough, could it be that both girls have fallen for this kid? Damn it... Curse, Mingyue's curse..."
Although he spoke in a low voice, Gao Fei on the bed seemed to hear him. The corners of his mouth curved into a small arc, with a hint of cunning.
“Tian, I remember I’ve read all of Chen Xiao’s information and files… He’s a natural-born superhuman, I’ve known that for a long time. But… what’s interesting is that his paternal and maternal lines seem to be ordinary people, his whole family is ordinary people. Usually, it’s always interesting for a natural-born superhuman to suddenly appear in an ordinary bloodline family. But luckily, I also know of a special case.”
What do you know?
Old Tian's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Shi Gaofei with a serious expression.
“I know Mingyue.” Shi Gaofei snorted. “Don’t forget, she used to be a core member of the service company. I have access to the most confidential information. I know more about Chen Xiao’s background than you do! I spent a month researching this kid… Back then, when we were developing a new human protein substitute for use in space with NASA, it only took me two weeks. But this kid, just researching his paternal and maternal lineage, took me a whole month!”
Shi Gaofei's gaze gradually sharpened: "My dear Tian... Chen Xiao, in a sense, also possesses the bloodline of the Xiao family! Although he is not a descendant of Mingyue, the bloodline of the Xiao family still flows in his veins! Isn't that right?"
His smile gradually revealed a strange glint: "I once read some information about Mingyue. The Xiao family produced a special ability user like Mingyue! But apart from Mingyue and her descendants, no other ability users have appeared in the Xiao family. However, a hundred years later, Chen Xiao, a boy with Xiao family blood flowing through his veins, has also shown signs of ability again... Don't you find this interesting? Do you think it's a coincidence? Or... is there something magical about the Xiao family's bloodline itself?"
"..." Old Tian fell silent, his expression strange.
“Even someone who doesn’t know much about science has at least heard of the term ‘intergenerational inheritance,’ right?” Shi Gaofei snorted, watching Lao Tian’s expression closely. “I suspect that there’s a hidden substance in the bloodline of the Xiao family. Usually, this substance is hidden in the bloodline and doesn’t show up. Only in a very small number of individuals will this hidden trait be revealed! For example… Mingyue, for example… Chen Xiao!”
Old Tian sighed and looked at Shi Gaofei: "He really put in a lot of effort to research this..."
Shi Gaofei shrugged, about to say something, but just then, with a bang, the door was pushed open, or rather, kicked open.
The fat man carried a huge plate in one hand. On the left plate were four bowls of rice, chopsticks, and a spoon; on the right plate were four dishes and a soup, a mix of meat and vegetables. He'd practically pushed the door open with his butt, looking rather disheveled as he entered, but thankfully his hands holding the plates were steady enough not to spill a drop of soup. He had a steamed bun in his mouth as he carefully walked in, placed the food on the table, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He took the bun out of his mouth and looked at the two people in the room: "Huh? Miss Xiao Qing hasn't returned yet?"
After Fatty returned, the two old monsters in the room seemed to tacitly end their previous conversation. Shi Gaofei lay back down, watching the boring TV news, yet appearing quite interested. Old Tian, on the other hand, picked up a bowl of rice and ate it in large mouthfuls.
The fat man stared wide-eyed at the two silent old men... He dared not utter a word. Clearly, in this small group, the fat man pitifully played multiple roles, including nanny, follower, servant, porter, and cook. If Zhu Rong were here, his fate would be even more miserable, occasionally serving as a human punching bag when Zhu Rong lost his temper.
Although Lao Tian had little appetite, he still wolfed down a large bowl of rice. After putting down his chopsticks, he glanced at the time and said, "I'll wait until 5 p.m. at the latest. If there's still no news from Xiao Qing, we'll go to the Xiao family!"
After saying that, Lao Tian threw down his bowl and chopsticks, strode out of the room, and went outside for some fresh air.
"Uh..." The fat man struggled to put the last piece of steamed bun into his mouth, pouting, and asked cautiously, "Teacher Shi Gaofei... Uncle Tian seems to be... in a bad mood?"
"Remember, don't call me teacher." Shi Gaofei snorted in dissatisfaction, throwing a pillow at the fat man, hitting him squarely on the head. "I'm not your teacher, and you're not my student! Damn it, if word got out that I, Shi Gaofei, have a student as stupid as you, I'd be laughed to death by the entire scientific community! The dumbest student I've ever had could easily win a Nobel Prize! You're just my lackey, my assistant, understand?"
“…I understand.” The fat man rubbed his head.
Shi Gaofei nodded in satisfaction. He watched TV for a while longer, and when the midday news finished and the weather forecast started, he picked up the remote and turned off the TV with a snap.
At this moment, he sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at the fat man, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
The fat man felt uneasy at Shi Gaofei's smile. Finally, Shi Gaofei spoke.
"Fatty, I have a question for you."
"Uh? Sir...uh, may I ask you?"
