Chapter 567: 50 chapters Agreement
“After having finally awoken from a long dream, Ah Ce’s first reaction upon getting out of bed was perverted behavior,” Qin Qianbai said expressionlessly. “I’m surprised. So, this is what it means for Impermanence Law Enforcers to grow, huh.”
Gongsun Ce clutched his head and wailed on the bed, “I’m sorry! Please forgive me! I’m begging you, please stop talking!!”
“The perverted expression on Ah Ce’s face is exactly the same as it was three years ago,” the young lady added coldly, “Indeed, that’s quite some growth.”
Gongsun Ce quickly crumbled into a pile of mush; he had no excuses and could only say in despair, “Just kill me…”
The young lady prodded the mushy creature and asked indifferently, “Is the malignancy cured?”
“It’s completely cured. Unbelievably healthy. More sound than ever. The current me can rightfully claim to be the Courage Superhero of this sky-reaching city.”
In truth, a vague fear lingered after awakening from the dream, but it was so slight that even he himself could keep it under control. Yan Qi wouldn’t make such a beginner’s mistake. Without a doubt, this incomplete residue was the result of Mr. Lan’s interference halfway through.
Fortunately, the irritated young lady did not notice this clever lie. She covered her chest and said with contempt,
“So courageous that you go groping your neighbor’s chest as soon as you wake up.”
“Judging by this perverted courage to commit sexual harassment, it’s true that Ah Ce has lost the fear a normal person should have.”
The grey-haired mushy pervert cautiously asked, “I’m wrong… Aren’t you going to hit me?”
“It’s not the first time, and at this point, there’s no use being angry with Ah Ce anymore.”
The mollified mushy creature then transformed back into human form.
Gongsun Ce put on his glasses, cleared his throat, and tried to say something to lighten the mood, blurting out what was on his mind: “After three years, your figure has really changed a lot as compared to the ground, Miss!”
When he saw the girl raise her right palm, Gongsun Ce immediately foresaw what was to come. Before the slap descended, he pleaded humbly, his intelligence urgently restored, “I was too full of myself, please be sure to forgive me.”
The young lady withdrew her hand and turned her head aside, “I’m angry.”
“I… what if I make you something to eat?”
“Heart cold and filled with dismay. Despondent and feeling defeated. My heart is ashen.”
“Why is your heart full of grey!”
Could the heart of a young girl be a bit brighter please!!
Gongsun Ce felt utterly embarrassed; he realized he had fallen into the same awkward situation as three years ago. The most embarrassing part was that if it had been three years ago, he could have eased the atmosphere by taking a half-hour beating and using emergency reasoning, but now, three years later, they both knew that Qin Qianbai wouldn’t actually hit him over something …
…Although, wasn’t this not such a small matter?
It seemed like it might be serious enough to call the police or a lawyer, even for people who were close. But instinctively, he felt that the young lady wouldn’t do that. Was there something wrong with his way of thinking?
Gongsun Ce’s brain worked feverishly, desperately searching for a solution. He had a stroke of inspiration, “Miss, to make it up to you, how about I tell you the contents of that dream?”
Qin Qianbai turned her head back.
“Yes, yes, life-changing events that have a significant impact on one’s life and personality, those are nodal points,” Gongsun Ce felt he was getting back into his usual rhythm and confidently said, “And the last nodal point I experienced, Mr. Gongsun, was the story of meeting you!”
It was as if he had heard such a sound effect. The young lady’s face suddenly turned red.
“——No, no, it wasn’t what you’re imagining!” Gongsun Ce frantically explained, “What I mean is, Miss, you’re very important to my life!”
The imaginary ringing in his head doubled, the young lady’s face growing even redder.
“That’s low, Ah Ce. Not just a straight pitch but a double strike.”
“Uh oh oh oh ah ah ah!”
“Your thoughts have already jumped to that stage?!”
“At least meet the parents first.”
“Stop! Where on earth did your imagination run off to!!”
This was bad, something had gone wrong. The young lady, her face flushed, had clearly gone off in a mental direction neither of them could guess. She didn’t even know what she was saying anymore, and this was going to cause trouble if it continued!!
The grey-haired young man let out a beast-like wail.
“My language ability hasn’t fully recovered since I just woke up! Your condition seems a bit unstable because of the accident! Let’s just take a breather and come back in ten minutes, okay!”
“Ah…!” The young lady seemed to regain a bit of composure, “We must stop. Let’s talk after ten minutes!”
Both of them, their faces beet red, bolted outside to breathe in the fresh air.
The two of them sat side by side on the couch, staring blankly at the landscape painting on the wall with identical vacant expressions.
Thump, thump. Qin Qianbai elbowed her neighbor in the belly.
“Nothing happened just now.”
“It was all Ah Ce’s fault.”
“So, what was the dream about?”
Gongsun Ce twirled his hair, looking slightly embarrassed as he said, “It was actually about fighting… Taking down the Superpower Organization and then heading home, like that.”
Qin Qianbai recalled the moment, vividly imitating it, “From now on, this city is my turf.”
Gongsun Ce covered his face, struggling, and whispered, “Please stop talking…”
Qin Qianbai didn’t let up, “I will definitely protect her.”
