In the park, not far from Shen Wufeng, there were several children playing football. One of them kicked the ball hard and the ball flew into the air.
Another little boy who was playing with him chased the ball to the river. As a result, he missed the ball, but because he was chasing too fast, he stumbled and threw himself into the river.
"Ah..." the little boy's companions exclaimed loudly.
When Shen Wufeng saw this scene, a dim light appeared in his eyes, and his body suddenly disappeared in place. The next moment, he emerged from the shadow of the little boy who was about to fall into the water, and reached out to grab the little boy's back collar.
Superpower, ‘Shadow Jump’.
"Wow......."
The children who had screamed before immediately gathered around and looked at Shen Wufeng with admiration.
"Uncle, thank you." The child who was rescued by Shen Wufeng was frightened at first. When he came to his senses, he politely thanked Shen Wufeng.
"Don't play ball by the river from now on. It's very dangerous." Shen Wufeng said to the children, and then walked quickly out of the park.
"I know, uncle." The children agreed in unison to Shen Wufeng, who left quickly.
"This is a superpower! This is a cultivator! This feels so good." Shen Wufeng, who had just awakened not long ago and only had the first stage of cultivation, felt very happy after saving people.
Just as he walked out of the park, a taxi happened to drive by. Shen Wufeng's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared under the taxi. He lurked in the shadows and followed the taxi away.
Then he used his powers one after another, jumping between several taxis, relying on "hitchhiking", gradually approaching the community where he rented, and finally found himself in the shallow reflection of a car collecting domestic garbage. jump out.
With his current control over superpowers, the maximum distance his shadow can jump is 10 meters in radius, and the time he can hide in the shadow cannot exceed 30 seconds.
The garbage truck was driving along the road towards the garbage treatment plant in the suburbs. The driver was an old driver in his fifties. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Shen Wufeng "coming out" from the shadows. This made him I was shocked.
"Crack..."
"Young man, what are you doing! Don't you know it's dangerous?" The driver stepped on the brakes, stuck his head out of the car window, and scolded Shen Wufeng.
"Uh..." Shen Wufeng, who was reminiscing about the convenience of his powers, was awakened by the driver's scolding. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I won't do this again in the future."
"Huh..." Shen Wufeng, who was watching the garbage truck go away, breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at a big tree eight or nine meters away from him. He was about to use his superpower to jump, but he ended up with his head. I fainted and almost fell to the ground.
This is a mistake that newcomers who have just awakened their powers often make, that is, excessive use of their powers, depleting their spiritual energy and causing severe physical discomfort.
On a certain building in the community, Qin Shiyu, wearing off-white pajamas and a facial mask, stood by the window.
She looked at the door of the community and saw Shen Wufeng staggering into the community, looking like he was in poor health and had a weak kidney.
"Shen Wufeng is really serious. This is the third time. With the lessons learned from the first two times, he can still make this kind of mistake again."
…
"Kacha..."
"boom……"
Shen Wufeng walked into the home with empty steps and happened to meet Qin Shiyu coming out of the bedroom.
"Put on a facial mask!"
"Um."
"I'm going to take a shower."
"Are you OK!"
"Um?"
"I see something's wrong with you. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm in good health! I'm just tired from running for too long. I just need to take a shower and go to bed to sleep." Shen Wufeng made up a reason and explained to Qin Shiyu.
"Oh~ Then you should rest early!" Qin Shiyu didn't point it out, pretending not to know and echoed Shen Wufeng.
The two of them separated, and Qin Shiyu, who returned to the room, muttered to herself, "Why didn't Shen Wufeng tell me that he had become a practitioner? What is there to hide?"
Diagonally across the room, Shen Wufeng returned to his room and thought to himself while getting a change of clothes from the closet.
"I have to continue to practice more! Only then can I become proficient in using my powers.
Otherwise, if I tell Qin Shiyu that I have become a practitioner, it will be too embarrassing if she asks me to show off my awakened powers and I make a fool of myself because of my lack of proficiency."
…………
At around ten o'clock at night, Shen Wufeng and Qin Shiyu were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Just when they were about to turn off the TV and go back to their rooms to rest, the cell phone in Shen Wufeng's pocket rang.
"Why is Chen Peipei calling me so late? Could it be..." Shen Wufeng saw the caller ID on the screen of his mobile phone. He looked confused for a moment, and then a bad thought immediately came to his mind.
"Hey... yes, I am her cousin... Well, I will pick her up right away. Where is the address... Okay, I'm going out now."
As soon as Shen Wufeng hung up the phone, Qin Shiyu saw that the other party didn't look good and immediately asked, "Shen Wufeng, what happened?"
"Chen Peipei's friend called me and said that Chen Peipei was drunk and asked me to pick her up." After Shen Wufeng finished speaking, he went back to the room to change clothes and go out.
"Let me go with you to pick her up!" Qin Shiyu said.
"No, I can go alone. You have to get up early tomorrow to open the flower shop, so go back to your room and rest early!"
And that bar is not far from here, I will be back soon." Shen Wufeng said.
After a while, Shen Wufeng hurried out after changing his clothes. Qin Shiyu could tell that Shen Wufeng was quite anxious.
…………
The next day, dawn was about to begin in the east, and the morning light first appeared, with a brilliant ray of morning glow that had not yet dyed the clouds in the sky red.
The street lights in the market still dimly illuminate the empty concrete pavement. When the birds on the trees spread their wings, brand-new buses cut through the silence of the city.
The breakfast stalls set up their stalls before dawn. When Shen Wufeng went out to buy breakfast, there was a long queue in front of the breakfast stalls.
"Kacha..."
"boom……"
Shen Wufeng, who came back from buying breakfast, walked into the home and found that his cousin Chen Peipei had gotten up. At this time, she and Qin Shiyu were sitting comfortably on the sofa, watching the morning news. This made Shen Wufeng frown. I felt a little unhappy.
Qin Shiyu, who had just finished washing, heard the commotion and turned her head first. When she saw Shen Wufeng, a slight smile appeared on her face.
Shen Wufeng nodded and smiled in response to Qin Shiyu. When he saw Chen Peipei getting up from the sofa leisurely, Shen Wufeng's anger that had been accumulated all night finally found a place to vent.
"Miss Chen, how rare is it that you were able to get up so early this time when you were drunk?"
When Chen Peipei heard Shen Wufeng's question, her face suddenly turned red, her body slumped, and she shrank, making Shen Wufeng unable to bear to say harsh words to her.
But he thought about it again, Chen Peipei is not a child now, and she won't cry like she did when she was a child if she said a few more words. She is acting like this now because she doesn't want to be criticized by herself.
After thinking about the matter, Shen Wufeng immediately moved his steps and faced Chen Peipei with a stern and angry look.
Seeing Shen Wufeng's sudden display of intimidating aura, Chen Peipei could no longer say the words she had prepared.
But fortunately, she was smart. She turned her eyes and saw some fatigue on Shen Wufeng's face. She immediately said with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel like you are in a bad mental state!" "
In normal times, Chen Peipei's concern would have warmed Shen Wufeng's heart a lot, but now he was full of resentment and did not let her go easily because of Chen Peipei's concern.
"It's none of your business." Shen Wufeng's tough attitude made Chen Peipei speechless for a moment. She knew that her cousin was really angry this time.
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Peipei laughed twice, but still did not speak.
She originally thought of hiding the incident of being drunk last night, but she didn't expect that Shen Wufeng would now settle old scores.
"Chen Peipei, let me tell you, I didn't tell your mother about the last time you got drunk in the bar because I wanted to give you a chance to change your ways.
But I didn't expect that you turned a deaf ear to what I said last time.
Not long after this, I got drunk again in the bar. I must call your mother now and talk to her carefully..."
Before Shen Wufeng could finish speaking, Chen Peipei suddenly bent down and her long hair flew from behind to in front of her. After bowing at 90 degrees, it even dragged to the ground, "I'm sorry, cousin, I won't dare to do it again." !Please give me another chance."
Shen Wufeng didn't expect Chen Peipei to admit her mistake so actively, so he still had half a lesson to teach him!
Seeing that Shen Wufeng was motionless, Chen Peipei couldn't help but secretly raise her head and secretly look at her cousin from between the tight hair.
"I heard from Sister Qin that you carried me back yesterday. Thank you!"
Hearing the thank you, Shen Wufeng subconsciously wanted to say "no thank you", but when he thought that he was blaming Chen Peipei, he immediately changed his expression and returned to a serious state.
The changes in Shen Wufeng's expression were caught by Chen Peipei, who was secretly observing her. When she saw this, she immediately raised her head and said in a loud voice, "Cousin, you do seem to be in a bad state of mind. Please sit down and take a rest. "
As Chen Peipei talked, she pulled Shen Wufeng to sit on the sofa. Qin Shiyu, a melon-eater on the side, knew that Shen Wufeng looked a little lackluster now, which was caused by excessive use of psychic powers yesterday. She looked at this interesting pair Cousins, pursed lips and snickered.
Shen Wufeng found that Chen Peipei was a very strange girl. It was obvious that she lost her temper, but after a few rounds, Chen Peipei took the initiative, which made Shen Wufeng feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't talk about it. Don't try to fool me about your matter this time." Shen Wufeng emphasized without changing his attitude.
Chen Peipei, who had played with Shen Wufeng since childhood, knew that her cousin was soft-spoken and not tough-talking, so she did not quibble any more and explained honestly.
"I'm sorry, cousin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to my classmate's birthday party."
Chen Peipei's admission of mistake did not make Shen Wufeng feel any less angry, and he continued to scold.
"Do you know how dangerous it is for you, a little girl, to get drunk in a bar in the middle of the night? Don't you have any sense of safety?
If I hadn't picked you up, do you know what would have happened to you last night? You are such a grown-up person, can you not let others worry about you?"
The accusations made Shen Wufeng feel much better, while Chen Peipei also held her hands, lowered her head, and only nodded her head throughout the whole process, as if she was letting others scold her.
When it was certain that Shen Wufeng was not ready to scold anymore, Chen Peipei spoke up.
"I'm sorry, cousin, I really know that I was wrong this time. I will never make this kind of mistake again in the future. I thought last night was just a simple class reunion and I would be back soon."
"You'll be back soon? You'll be back in the middle of the night soon? Also, it's my friend's birthday, why are you dressed so maturely? You have to know that you are still a student, and you haven't the time to wear low-cut clothes like this."
Shen Wufeng asked a barrage of questions again, but seeing Chen Peipei's increasingly aggrieved expression, he couldn't say any harsh words. In addition, most of the anger he had just felt had disappeared, so he didn't want to embarrass Chen Peipei anymore.
"No next time!"
"Okay, cousin, there won't be any more!"
Seeing Shen Wufeng nodding towards him, Chen Peipei took a deep breath and quickly ran to the side.
Just when Shen Wufeng was about to accuse him again, he saw that Chen Peipei had already rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
"Okay! Chen Peipei has realized her mistake. Don't hold on to her. Let's have breakfast!" the melon eaters on the side said in time.
"Yeah." Shen Wufeng took advantage of the steps given by Qin Shiyu and stopped worrying about Chen Peipei's drunkenness in the bar last night.
At the dining table, the three of them ate steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk while chatting about other things.
"Sister Qin, did your boss really only show up once on your first day at work?" Chen Peipei asked.
"Yes! I have only met him once after working for so long. He is really a hands-off shopkeeper. Everything in the store is now handled by me and the store manager." Qin Shiyu said.
"Wow, such a nice boss, wouldn't it be very free for you to work now?" Chen Peipei said enviously.
"Well, it's quite free, but the business in the store is very good, and the store manager and I are very busy..." Qin Shiyu said with a smile.
"It's better to be busy! The business of the milk tea shop where I work is extremely poor. There is no business in the shop and there are too many things going on.
And they are all trivial things. I think the boss thinks there is no business and sees that we are idle, so he specially finds these things for us to do." Chen Peipei talked about some things in the store where she worked during the summer.
"Why does your boss pay you a salary and ask you to do something? Don't just think about complaining... When you enter the society, you will know that your current boss treats you well." Shen Wufeng said to him as a person who has experienced it. His cousin warned.
