Superpower

"Auntie, the water temperature is fine." At this time, Chen Qin immediately spoke up, but her voice was a little flustered—and standing outside the door, Ye's Mother didn't notice the change in Chen Qin's voice, but said,

"It's good that the water temperature is fine. Wash a little longer. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."

"Yeah, okay." Hearing the footsteps fade away, Chen Qin gave Ye Shuang a look, her cute little expression with slightly raised corners of her mouth seeming to ask how he was going to thank her.

After all, if Ye's Mother knew Ye Shuang was inside, this guy would at least lose a layer of skin.

"Shall I help you wash your hair?" Ye Shuang asked instead.

"No way!"

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door again, "Qin, have you seen Shuangzai?"

"Ah, ah? I don't know." Chen Qin was startled by the sudden voice, and then immediately spoke up to cover for Ye Shuang.

"Really?"

"Really, haven't I been taking a shower the whole time?"

"Where did this brat run off to again?" Ye's Mother muttered, her voice gradually fading away again. After making sure Ye's Mother wasn't around, the girl, who had been covering her small mouth, slowly relaxed and gently patted her chest.

Beside her, Ye Shuang silently sized up her chest. He couldn't help but wonder if Chen Qin would really grow that big in the future, even though she was currently just a small steamed bun.

"Eek!" Noticing Ye Shuang's gaze, Chen Qin's face flushed red, and she grabbed a bar of soap and threw it at him.

"W-wait, I didn't mean to look!" Ye Shuang was hit in the face by the soap and almost slipped.

"Ye, you're such a pervert!"

The bathroom became noisy again, but fortunately, Ye's Mother had gone out to the yard to look for Ye Shuang, so she didn't hear the commotion on this side.

After a while, the bathroom door was pushed open a crack. The long-haired girl in pajamas slowly poked her head out. She first looked left and right, and after confirming that Ye's Mother wasn't around, she made a gesture behind her.

At this time, Ye Shuang also walked out. He followed behind Chen Qin, and the two returned to the room.

"Ye, your hair isn't dry yet. Why don't you use a towel to dry it more?" As soon as they returned to the room, Chen Qin noticed that Ye Shuang's hair was still a bit wet. She picked up a towel nearby, walked behind Ye Shuang, and helped him dry his hair.

"You're quite good at taking care of people." Ye Shuang joked, only to realize that Chen Qin seemed to have been like this since childhood, although she had a sharp tongue when she was little.

"Hmph, of course." Being praised by Ye Shuang, Chen Qin couldn't help but say proudly, obviously in a very good mood.

Feeling the girl's service of helping dry his hair, Ye Shuang's eyes looked at the countdown clock nearby. It was still white and hadn't moved...

Hmm...

Could he do something?

If this was the timeline, could he go find Bai Yuyou and find out the real culprit who abducted her back then?

Although he thought so, Ye Shuang felt that his current age was only around the beginning of middle school—in fact, this could be judged from Chen Qin's figure. He was still quite young now. If he had to wait until Yuyou was abducted...

It would probably take until he was in high school?

The current Yuyou was probably just a child of a few years old.

If he suddenly went to find Aunt Xian and told her that her daughter would be abducted in a few years, he would probably be treated as a fool, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Shuang suddenly sighed deeply and leaned back slightly to rest for a while.

But he forgot that Chen Qin was still behind him, and Ye Shuang rested his head straight on the girl's thighs.

Chen Qin was a little flustered. She didn't expect Ye Shuang to lie directly on her thighs. While her heart was pounding, she pretended not to care,

"Y-you resting like this, my legs are getting wet."

"Sorry." Ye Shuang sat up straight, but found that Chen Qin had moved back a bit. She patted her thighs, "Seeing as you let me copy your homework today, letting you rest on my thighs for a while isn't out of the question."

Chen Qin's grades weren't very good, and she often copied Ye Shuang's homework, so in order to repay Ye Shuang for the homework, she would often treat him to snacks or something.

"Are you staying over tonight?" Ye Shuang didn't pay attention to this, but asked instead.

"Wow, I've already changed my clothes, what do you think?" Chen Qin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "It's still raining outside. If you kick me out, I'll tell Daddy that you bullied me!"

"I didn't mean that either." Ye Shuang twitched the corners of his mouth. "Are we sleeping together tonight?"

"Isn't there only one bed?"

"Never mind..." After all, it seemed that this was indeed the case at this stage. Chen Qin was still the same without any changes, while Ye Shuang himself was making a fuss over nothing.

Ye Shuang got up and looked around on the desk, finally finding a black keypad phone. Although it had a color screen, it didn't have many functions.

And the only games he could play were Snake and Liar's Dice.

"Should I give Aunt Xian a heads-up... but I don't remember her phone number, and the current Aunt Xian is a big star after all... can I really find her?"

"Contacting her through Uncle Chen and the others isn't very reliable."

Ye Shuang looked at the phone in his hand, finally sighed, and silently put it down. Although he didn't know how long he would stay in this timeline, judging from the current situation, he should just take it one step at a time.

Today seemed to be the weekend. In fact, Ye Shuang still had a relatively clear impression of being whipped with a bamboo stick by his mother after getting caught in the rain. As for the reason—

He heard that running in the rain could awaken superpowers.

Yes, Ye Shuang admitted that he was a bit childish at that time. He had read a novel that said superpowers were awakened in various strange ways, and with what his classmates said, he had the idea of running in the rain.

And Chen Qin completely accompanied him just to be with him.

Afterwards, Chen Qin even got a fever, making Ye Shuang feel extremely embarrassed for a while.

"By the way, Chen Qin."

"Hm?"

"Does your mom know that Xu Huixian?" Ye Shuang suddenly asked.

"Dunno." Chen Qin shook her head. After all, her parents were quite busy with work, so how would she know who knew whom? Moreover, she seemed to have heard this name, but she wasn't familiar with it at all.

"Never mind."

"Ye, you've been a bit strange since just now. What's wrong?" Chen Qin asked, "Did the rain make you stupid?"

"No."

"C-could it be that you really awakened superpowers?!"

"Uh... that's even more impossible."
