Chapter 16: Are you good at playing firecrackers? (5000 words)(1/2)
Xu Cheng's hand shook and the light novel in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Does this terrible title reveal some terrible secret?
He put down the light novel and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a photo on the wall.
The photo shows a man and woman. The woman is obviously the younger Chizuru Odera, about twenty years old, and the man is a boy who looks somewhat similar to her, about fifteen years old.
This was obviously a photo of siblings. What made Xu Cheng concerned was that the little boy in the photo looked somewhat similar to himself.
No, it should be said that it is somewhat similar to the ability card Star Sea Light.
Xu Cheng suddenly understood why Chizuru Odera looked at him differently and always showed maternal love in her eyes. Could it be that she regarded herself as a substitute for the little boy in the photo?
He didn't look much and immediately turned around and left the bedroom.
However, as soon as she walked out of the room, she happened to meet Chizuru Odera walking towards her. She was surprised and said: "Why did you run into my room? The takeaway is here, hurry up while it's hot..."
Before she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, her face changed, and her eyes with dark circles widened.
"you……"
She opened her mouth and asked, "Did you see the book on my bed?"
"No."
Xu Cheng said calmly: "If you are referring to the book "About the Thirty-Year-Old Me, But I Was Forcibly Kissed by Young Shota", I didn't see it."
"Ah! You still said you didn't read it?"
"I'm trying to save face for you. It turns out you like little boys. Sorry, I'm going to call the police."
"You listen to my quibbles... No, you listen to my explanation..."
Even with Chizuru Godera's mature state of mind, her face turned red at this moment and she was at a loss. She explained hurriedly: "That's... that's... Uehara Ryo, yes, that was given to me by Uehara Ryo.
I just flipped through it casually and was not interested at all. I didn’t expect it to be such a terrible book. I will deduct his salary when he gets to work."
"I understand, subordinates are there to blame others."
If Xu Cheng were wearing glasses, he would definitely push them with his middle finger at this moment, and the lenses would flash with white light: "Although people's XP is free, I still recommend you to see a doctor. After all, copper smelting is illegal."
"Ah ah ah, I even said no!"
Yudera Qianhe gave up explaining and rushed over to tear Xu Cheng's face with both hands: "Forget about this!!"
…
After using physical therapy to erase Xu Cheng's memory, the two returned to the living room.
The takeout ordered by Chizuru Godera was high-end sushi. One meal would have cost Xu Cheng two months of writing a novel.
Add in the villa and the sports car, and Chizuru Odera is definitely a rich woman.
Xu Cheng suddenly felt that there was actually nothing wrong with her XP.
A woman will only affect the speed at which I draw the knife, but a rich woman will not. A rich woman can give me a better knife.
The two sat together and ate, and Xu Cheng asked curiously: "In the photo in the room, who is the little boy on it? He looks a bit like me. Do you think of me as his substitute?"
"Don't think blindly!"
Chizuru Godera categorically denied it, her expression and tone were very serious: "I don't regard you as anyone's substitute. You are Xinghaiguang. I regard you as my biological brother without blood."
Damn, your XP is quite weird. It’s not enough for a little boy, you still have to kiss me.
Xu Cheng frowned slightly: "Just because I saved you once in Lingzi's Tomb?"
"That's just one aspect."
Of course Chizuru Godera would not say that since you saved me, I will also save you, a young man with an empty heart and no desire to live.
She just smiled: "I think you and I get along very well."
Do you mean psychological compatibility or physical compatibility?
But even though Odera Chizuru had already given the reason, Xu Cheng still found it strange that the two of them had not been in contact for a long time, so why did Odera Qianzuru's favorability towards him keep rising?
It can only be said that the two channels were not matched from the beginning.
"As for the people in the photos."
Chizuru Godera lowered her voice and said slowly: "His name was Kirito Godera, but he passed away many years ago."
The atmosphere was a bit dull. After the two of them finished eating sushi, Chizuru Odera took out a bank card and handed it to Xu Cheng: "The bounty money for the invisible man and the two rebels is in it. The total is 120 million after tax."
The password for Japanese yen is zero, so don’t spend it randomly.”
Xu Cheng became excited and took the bank card with both hands. He had never had so much money in his life.
If Chizuru Godera hadn't been there, Xu Cheng would have kissed her twice.
Seeing his excited expression, Chizuru Godera also laughed: "When I was your age, I was still worrying about tens of thousands of pocket money every month, but this is what you deserve, have you awakened yet?"
How long does it take to defeat the Invisible One? There is no one more talented than you in the entire special response force. You are still so young and you have a promising future."
Xu Cheng carefully put away his bank card and rarely said a kind word to Chizuru Godera: "It's only been a few years since the spirit tide appeared, and you have become the captain of the Countermeasures Department. Aren't you more powerful than me?"
"I'm different from you."
Chizuru Godera hesitated for a moment before continuing: "I have been a person with special abilities since I was a child, not just in the past few years. You have caught up with me in such a short time, so there is nothing to brag about."
"ah?"
Xu Cheng looked at her in surprise. Professor Fujiwara said that people with abilities have existed since ancient times, but their numbers are very rare.
Chizuru Godera is actually one of those rare people.
Chizuru Yudera didn't seem to want to discuss this topic. She sat next to Xu Cheng with a smile and put her arms around him: "Xiaoguang, you are so rich now, can you lend me some of it to my sister?"
Xu Cheng said speechlessly: "You live in a villa and drive a sports car and you still need to borrow money from me?"
Chizuru Godera spread her hands: "The RV was allotted to me by the countermeasures department. I spent all my monthly salary and didn't save any money at all."
"Then how much do you want to borrow?"
"Twenty million, I'll pay you back next time you get paid."
"Let me tell you a story."
Xu Cheng didn't wait for Chizuru Godera to answer, and said: "One day, Pikachu asked Squirtle to borrow money. He met Squirtle's mother and mistakenly thought it was Squirtle, so he said: "Squirtle, lend it to me.
I counted the money. Squirtle's mother said: "I'm Squirtle's mother."
Chizuru Godera: "..."
…
After successfully getting the bounty, Xu Cheng originally wanted to run away immediately.
But Qianhe Yudera couldn't borrow the money, so she insisted that Xu Cheng treat her to a good meal in the evening.
Xu Cheng was so tortured by her that he had no choice but to agree, and there seemed to be no movement on the task. He didn't know when the temptation would come.
I can only feel sorry for Qiu Gongyue who can't move at home. I'll have another hungry meal. Anyway, I won't die of hunger.
After nightfall, Chizuru Godera drove Xu Cheng out of the house in a sports car and headed to a nearby high-end restaurant.
Just as she parked the car, Chizuru Odera's cell phone rang. She took it out to answer it, and her face suddenly became serious.
"Is that so? Okay, I'll rush over right away."
Chizuru Yudera hung up the call and apologized to Xu Cheng: "Xiaoguang, the Countermeasures Department suddenly has an emergency. I have to go there quickly. I'll take you home first. Where do you live now?"
Xu Cheng was so happy that Yudera Qianhe hurriedly left and didn't have to pay her to give her a massage. He quickly said: "It's okay. I don't have a fixed place to live now. You don't need to worry about me. Just go and do some work."
When Xu Cheng said that he had no fixed address, Yudera Qianzhe felt distressed again. Why should such a poor child suffer?
She couldn't help but said, "If you don't have a place to live, come to my sister's house. My house is quite big."
Damn, are you also Brother Jie? No, you are Sister Jie, right?
How could Xu Cheng agree to live in the home of a poor copper smelter? Isn't this just throwing himself into a trap?
He got out of the car and urged her to get out.
Chizuru Godera drove away reluctantly.
Xu Cheng stood at the door of the high-end restaurant, looking at the back of the sports car leaving, and frowned.
What does this mission mean? Now even Chizuru Odera has run away. Why hasn’t the secret test prompted by the manager come yet?
Or have you been tempted?
With doubts, Xu Cheng looked back at the high-end restaurant and took a step subconsciously.
I have never been to such a splendid place in my whole life. I happened to have money in my pocket today, so I went in to see it.
As for who is hungry at home?
Can not remember.
boom!
Xu Cheng dropped his foot, and a huge explosion suddenly rose from under his feet. Strong firelight flashed, and shock waves spread out, shattering the floor-to-ceiling windows of the high-end restaurant.
"ah!!"
In the restaurant, guests near the floor-to-ceiling windows were knocked down by the shock wave, while guests far away were injured by flying glass fragments and screamed.
