All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 30: Never Mind Jealousy, Even Meat Is Fine
Late night.
In Su Xin’s bedroom.
Fang Mengzhu lay in the bed, her face flushed, revealing smooth white shoulders, her eyes blurred, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After the stormy night, her thoughts continued to tumble, unable to calm down.
Su Xin pulled her into his arms.
"How did things turn out like this?"
Fang Mengzhu obediently lay in his embrace, casually wrapping her arms around Su Xin’s waist, just sighed softly, feeling as if she was bewitched today, somehow ending up pushed down by Su Xin.
Clearly, this was only their third meeting.
Strictly speaking, it was only their second chance encounter.
Clearly, Su Xin wasn’t her ideal type, much younger than her, not even meeting her dating standards; normally she would never have reached this point with him.
So why did she feel bewitched?
Could she have been hypnotized?
Or drugged?
She recalled everything between her and Su Xin, but was quickly interrupted by Su Xin’s actions, her face instantly flaring red as she embarrassingly protested:
"Stop moving around!"
"Alright."
Su Xin froze his hand in place, then gently rubbed his fingers and seriously said, "By the way, it’s late now. Do you want to call your parents and let them know?"
"No need, they..."
Fang Mengzhu was about to say her parents usually weren’t so strict, considering she’s not a child anymore, and wasn’t required to return home at a set time.
But she suddenly remembered, since last time her father saw Su Xin naked running out of her car, wrongly thinking she was messing around outside, he had ordered her to be home by eleven at night, unless visiting her father’s business. Hence, they chose to go to a KTV, which belongs to the Golden Shield Gang.
Thinking how these issues were all due to Su Xin, she angrily pinched his waist.
"It’s all your fault!"
"?"
Su Xin looked at her puzzled.
Fang Mengzhu crawled out of his embrace, moved to the bedside and picked up her phone.
"Oh! It’s already ten thirty?!"
Seeing the time, she was instantly startled, preparing to get up but felt a pain between her legs, turned around and pinched Su Xin’s waist again.
Su Xin grinned as he hugged her:
"It’s only ten thirty, still early. You can call home and say you’ll be out with friends overnight, not going home tonight, or else your parents will notice something’s up."
"You bad guy! Big pervert!"
Thinking about losing her purity just like that confused, Fang Mengzhu felt both aggrieved and sad, in a moment of anger, she viciously bit Su Xin’s shoulder.
"Ouch! You’re serious!"
Su Xin endured the pain, reached out with his free right hand to embrace her, whispering sweet nothings until he soothed the newly unchaste Fang Mengzhu, putting her at ease.
After a while, Su Xin fetched some ointment and applied it, finally making her feel better.
"Can this ointment be used here?"
Su Xin nodded while continuing the application, "Rest assured, the doctor said it was okay."
"You’ve used this ointment quite a few times before, haven’t you?"
"..."
Su Xin glanced at Fang Mengzhu, who blinked and looked at him innocently.
Su Xin laughed and patted her thigh, "Quick to get jealous, huh?"
Fang Mengzhu stared at him intently, "So, don’t I count as your girlfriend now?"
"You do, of course you do!"
"Then why can’t I get jealous?"
"You can, you can, don’t just talk about jealousy, even talking about eating meat is fine."
"Pervert!"
Fang Mengzhu’s face blushed, lightly kicking Su Xin’s leg, he hurriedly pressed her leg down, teasing her until she panted, then reminded her, "It’s almost eleven, won’t you call your parents?"
Fang Mengzhu had forgotten the prior issue, picked up the phone, sternly warning Su Xin not to mess around, then dialed.
"Mom, I’m out with friends, not going home tonight."
"What are you playing? All night?"
"Yes, going to play mahjong later."
"With Jiang Suroo?"
"No, another friend you don’t know, but it’s also a girl."
"Okay, I don’t want to interfere too much in your life. I’ve been your age, knowing some things can’t be stopped and don’t need to be, but, Mengzhu, remember, don’t engage with disreputable people. Even dating doesn’t need to be hidden from me, I need to vet them, understand?"
"Mom! I know."
"Then be honest with me, who are you with? Did anything happen just now?"
"Mom!! Don’t say random things!"
Fang Mengzhu playfully drawled.
She didn’t notice, due to the earlier affection with Su Xin, her tone unconsciously turned sweet and spoil-like, unlike her usual self.
Fang Mengzhu didn’t notice, but her mother immediately picked up on it.
With Fang Mengzhu’s react, her mother confirmed her suspicion, and cheerfully said, "Mengzhu, whenever you bring him home, I’ll vet him for you."
"No...I didn’t!"
"Afraid of your father’s anger, right? Then let’s meet at a restaurant, just the three of us, how about it?"
Fang Mengzhu helplessly looked at Su Xin, unsure how to explain, not daring to admit.
If her parents asked about their meeting and love history, saying they met twice and today Su Xin coaxed her to bed, Su Xin would be doomed by her father — she wouldn’t be spared either.
Now, being unveiled by her mother, whatever she denied wasn’t convincing.
Su Xin stroked her face, softly saying, "It’s okay, no need to avoid this, just admit it. Let’s meet once."
Fang Mengzhu breathed deeply, picked her phone up again, seriously saying, "Mom, could you please not tell Dad for now?"
"Okay, Mom will keep her word."
"Then let’s schedule it for tomorrow."
The two chatted briefly.
After hanging up, Fang Mengzhu exhaled heavily, face relaxed, giggling foolishly as she burrowed into Su Xin’s embrace.
...
While they were being affectionate.
Meanwhile, Fang Keyi, was with two trusted confidants in an abandoned factory in the South District, personally interrogating an employee captured from Kangbo Biological Company through the night.
To gather as much internal information from Kangbo Biological Company, he didn’t care about risking exposure.
He only had three days.
If he didn’t acquire enough intel for secretly extracting core data within three days, according to Volcano’s orders, he must cooperate with a frontal assault on Kangbo Biological Company, then his identity would surely be exposed.
Facing this choice, the lesser of two evils seems clear.
As long as confidants keep quiet and the captured employee is bribed, maybe his identity wouldn’t be exposed afterward.
He knew exactly how to choose.
