Chapter 296: Chapter 189: Bai Zini: What, My Brother is a Superhero (Part 2)

As Bai Zini and Ke Mingye questioned each other, the people in front of the rental house were momentarily transfixed; they seemed like a still photo, blurred by the sweltering summer heat.

Suddenly, several people couldn’t help but give them peculiar looks.

An Renchuan took a sip of water, glanced at the dumbfounded Bai Zini, and then at the stunned Ke Mingye.

A moment later, he asked with considerable curiosity.

“So you two know each other?”

Ke Mingye looked at Bai Zini in surprise, then shook his head and denied, “No, not really.” Saying this, he walked back into the house as if nothing had happened, leaving Bai Zini standing there, dumbstruck.

Bai Zini glanced at Ke Mingye walking into the living room, then at An Hong’s brother, pondering something.

“Not really familiar, yet that was his reaction,” An Renchuan said, shrugging helplessly before turning to An Hong to ask, “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked yet, who is this girl you seem to know my friend knows?”

On hearing this, Bai Zini swiftly looked at An Hong with an icy stare.

Under Bai Zini’s intimidating gaze, An Hong scratched her hand hesitantly for two seconds, then smiled wryly at her brother saying, “Ah haha, she’s a classmate of mine, named Bai Ming…”

Before she could finish the word “ye,” she was abruptly cut off by an intensely blushing Bai Zini: “Ming ming ming ming your head—!”

“Huh?”

An Hong and Qiu Xia were stunned, thinking, Senior, why the sudden change? Weren’t you just called ‘Bai Mingye’ a moment ago, and now it’s suddenly ‘Ming ming ming ming your head’?@@novelbin@@

“Come over here, let’s talk!”

Bai Zini said anxiously, pulling the two of them and You Minglu together at a very fast pace. The four of them huddled together for an emergency meeting.

Cicadas buzzed loudly as Bai Zini’s brain overheated almost to the point of short-circuiting.

At that point, she couldn’t bother to make up a fake name and just blurted out her real one: “Actually, the name I mentioned earlier was a pseudonym, my real name is ‘Bai Zini,’ not Bai Mingye, got it?!”

“Bai Zini?” An Hong murmured.

“So that is Senior’s real name,” Qiu Xia said.

“Yes, Bai Zini.”

Bai Zini paused, then added, “Also, when we go inside later, try not to bring up the topic of ‘Magic Girl,’ and if you accidentally do, you must say I’m just an ordinary person, understand?”

Qiu Xia and An Hong both nodded; they knew Magical Girl Ash definitely didn’t want her identity exposed, but wasn’t this conversation a bit too late?

An Hong’s brother, who had been wheelchair-bound for those years, always heard her talk about Magic Girl, and naturally about Ash.

With everyone visiting now, An Renchuan couldn’t possibly fail to realize that among the girls other than Qiu Xia and An Hong, one must be Magical Girl Ash.

You Minglu covered his mouth to yawn softly, belatedly nodding in acknowledgment: “Got it.”

“Then it’s settled.”

Comrade Bai Zini declared the temporary strategy meeting adjourned.

An Hong nodded again, then walked back to her brother’s side and introduced in his puzzled gaze, “Brother, this is my friend Bai Zini.”

Only then did Bai Zini relax her gaze, cradling her right elbow with her left hand, looking down at the folded umbrella in her right hand while her thoughts whirled chaotically as if they might explode.

She thought to herself: Good thing my brother didn’t hear it; otherwise, having one Bai Mingye and one Ke Mingye here would be excessively embarrassing, and I’d get a verbal punishment from my brother once back home.

Also, why on earth is my brother at An Hong’s house?!

Could it be that he and An Hong’s brother are friends?!

But that’s impossible. An Hong even said her brother is a superhero, and moreover, he didn’t socialize while he was using a wheelchair before his superpower awakened.

How could my brother know him then? Surely they didn’t meet online, did they? That would be too coincidental.

No, that’s not right!

The only definite thing here is that besides myself, there’s another person who knows my brother.

— Xiaohongmao!

If Xiaohongmao brought my brother here, then everything starts to make sense. No wonder she was so insistent on having me join; the whole point was to set me up.

Damn it! If I had known, I would never have brought her home!

Thinking this, Bai Zini nearly ground her back teeth to dust. She turned her head, her gaze as sharp as a blade, towards You Minglu beside her.

You Minglu pretended not to notice, merely sipping his Sprite quietly, looking up to observe An Renchuan and An Hong.

If you dare ignore me, you must be feeling guilty—!

Bai Zini opened her mouth slightly, her shoulders trembling with anger as she spoke: “Is there a bathroom here?”

An Renchuan nodded and answered with a smile: “Yes, right after you enter, turn right. There are slippers at the entrance; you can change into them first.”

“Alright, she and I need to go to the bathroom.”

Bai Zini, saying this coldly while pulling You Minglu’s hand, made it sound as if they were headed for a duel to the death.

“Senior, I don’t need to use the bathroom. You can go on your own.”

You Minglu shook her head, immediately declining.

“No, you need to go to the bathroom.”

Bai Zini’s head shook more forcefully than hers, her tone cold.

An Renchuan, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, watched this scene with some confusion: “Um, do all you girls go to the bathroom together?”

An Hong and Qiu Xia shook their heads, speaking in unison.

“No.”

But after a careless glance from Bai Zini, they quickly nodded and corrected themselves: “Yes, we girls do like going to the bathroom together.”
