Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 301: Chapter 190: Bai Zini: What, My Brother is a Superhero (Part 3)_2

At this moment, quietly looking at the photo, Qiu Xia thought to himself, if there’s one person in the world who might have this group photo, that person must be Blue Owl.

With that thought, Qiu Xia slowly shifted his gaze away from the group photo and surreptitiously studied the profile of Ke Mingye.

“Give me back my phone, don’t you have any manners?”

Ke Mingye said with a stern face, quickly snatching the phone back from An Renchuan’s hand.

An Renchuan curved his lips, shrugged lightly, and explained, “He just mentioned this group photo to me. He said you had resolved a parasite outbreak together back then, and Qiu Xia asked him for a group photo. But he didn’t manage to give it to her, so the photo has been in his phone album ever since.”

An Hong’s eyes widened, and she covered her slightly open mouth with her hand, thinking to herself that this was practically conclusive evidence. So, her brother hadn’t lied, was this person really Blue Owl?

“So it really was you…” Qiu Xia murmured.

“No, this group photo was just given to me by Blue Owl.”

Ke Mingye sighed deeply, avoiding her gaze while still making excuses.

“No, Blue Owl isn’t that kind of person,” Qiu Xia shook her head and declared.

“Hehe, everyone says you’re not that kind of person,” An Renchuan said.

Speaking, he nudged Ke Mingye’s shoulder and teased him in a light tone, “The evidence is conclusive, just stop being stubborn. Why won’t you admit it? How much do you want your fans to be hurt?”

“You’re really annoying. It looks like after I go back, I’ll have to request from Commander Che to transfer teams.”

“Is it necessary?” An Renchuan spread his hands.

“Can I have that group photo?” Qiu Xia asked.

“Here you go.”

“I’ve been coveting this group photo for a long time, thank you, Mr. Blue Owl.”

“Can you not call me that?”

“Blue Owl?”

“Ke Mingye.”

“Oh, is that your name?”

“What else would it be?”

“I always thought Blue Owl was at least an uncle, never imagined you to be so young.”

“What exactly did I do to give you guys such a misunderstanding?”

In the conversation among them, one person remained silent.

Bai Zini was like an outsider, listening to their conversation. Even though they were talking about her brother, the person she knew best and was closest to, she felt completely left out, awkwardly sitting on the sofa.

It was as if… she knew nothing about this person.

She bowed her head, dazed for a long, long time, and then slowly raised her eyes, glancing at An Renchuan and then at Qiu Xia, before finally turning her gaze toward the pale-faced Ke Mingye.@@novelbin@@

She stared motionlessly at Ke Mingye for a good while.

Suddenly, she slightly opened her mouth and asked slowly, “Is what he said true… or false?”

The girl’s voice was very calm, as if asking a normal question, yet her tone was light as if the sound of cicadas.

Ke Mingye met Bai Zini’s gaze, seeming about to say something, but just sighed softly instead.

“From when?” she continued.

Ke Mingye still didn’t answer, just avoided her direct gaze.

“I’m asking you… from when did it start.”

Ke Mingye opened his mouth.

“Why won’t you speak?”

Ke Mingye turned his cheek away.

“Is it fun…”

Ke Mingye lowered his eyes.

“It started when we were kids.”

“I don’t want to see you get hurt at all.”

“Why won’t you say a word.”

“You obviously know.”

Bai Zini paused before speaking again.

“No one cares about you more than I do…”

“No one.”

Towards the end, Bai Zini bit her lip and slowly lowered her head, her hair covering the eyes that faintly held a trace of teary anger.

The living room briefly fell into silence, no one knew exactly what was happening, why Bai Zini suddenly reacted so strongly, they just stared blankly at them.

A moment later, seeing that Ke Mingye still was silent, Bai Zini stood up from the couch, turned, and headed toward the entrance without turning back, not even putting on shoes, just clutching her sandals in the palm of her hand, then turning the doorknob, and stepping out barefoot, the door shutting with a “snap.”

Qiu Xia and An Hong were both shocked, re-examining Ke Mingye, thinking to themselves who else in the world could elicit such a reaction from the senior Ash, where did he come from?

“I say, Comrade Blue Owl, what exactly happened between you and that girl?”

An Renchuan was also a bit perplexed and couldn’t help but give Ke Mingye a surprised look.

“So annoying…”

Saying this, Ke Mingye took a deep breath and slowly began, “I’m going back first, continue having fun, don’t mind us.” After saying that, he stood up and left the room.

In the scorching summer day, a wind carrying the heat wave brushed against his face, he felt like he was about to melt into a puddle of roast pork.

“Where did you go?”

Ke Mingye raised his arm, shielding against the bright sunlight, walked a short distance down Yandai Commercial Street, and soon arrived at a little riverside path nearby.

He remembered this place.

When they were little, he and Bai Zini often came here after school, sitting by the river and chatting until the sun dipped below the horizon on a corner of the sky, then walked home along this small path. On the way home, they watched people cycling back and forth in the twilight, watched children frolicking by the riverside.

Beneath the ruddy sunset, amidst the dancing grass, the girl walked backward with hands behind her back, facing him, step by step, with a smile from the memories faintly visible.

Ke Mingye walked on, thinking, and looking up, he saw a girl sitting on the grassy riverbank, hugging her knees, looking at the shimmering lake. Under the intense sunlight, the bottom scenery of the lake appeared like a transparent exhibit box in an aquarium, with the turtles and fish moving slowly below clearly visible.
