Chapter 52: S1653, identity confirmation completed.

Near the front of the house, there were several steps.

Xu Xing Ji was worried that Ning Yi would find it difficult with her injury, so he extended his hand and wanted to support her. As a result, the latter subconsciously shifted to the side, just dodging his hand.

Xu Xing Ji only paused briefly, then generously took his hand back and said, “I’m worried you’ll have trouble on the stairs.”

No annoyance or embarrassment from being evaded appeared on his face at all. He thought, then asked, “Is it because the things that I said to you in the garden made you feel disgust and repulsion?”

This sounded grave. A sunny handsome young man confessed to you, he really didn’t do anything out of sorts. Even if she didn’t like it, it can’t be considered disgusting.

Ning Yi guessed it was most likely her subconscious evasion that made him oversensitive, and hurriedly said, “Of course not, um… I’m just not quite used to that kind of sudden contact…”

The karaoke equipment in the house was brought out to entertain guests. Ju Meng’s singing accompanied by music came out, drowning out most of the two people’s voices.

Xu Xing Ji glanced at the person behind them who still hadn’t caught up and sighed in an aggrieved and helpless tone, “But when Lu Xu Nan got close to you, you didn’t avoid…”

!!!

Lu Xu Nan abruptly retreated half a meter back. Because he was excessively flustered, he even almost accidentally stumbled, nearly falling down.

He tensely placed the hand that was pinched by Ning Yi behind him, staring at her as he crudely asked, “What, what are you doing, you?!”

Ning Yi slowly digested Xu Xing Ji’s words. After thinking back a bit, she was surprised to find that it really was as he said.

Whether it was when she pulled Lu Xu Nan to the infirmary before, or when Lu Xu Nan carried her back to the hotel on his back at Xiangfeng Mountain, including just now at the pavilion- she seemed to have always regarded Lu Xu Nan’s approach as natural and used to it.

Why was this?

When Lu Xu Nan stretched his hand over, Ning Yi was currently perplexed. She originally wanted to wave him away, but as a result, her brain didn’t take the turn and she subconsciously pinched again.

At this moment, listening to him fiercely questioning her and seeing him look as if she had taken advantage of him, Ning Yi was speechless while also feeling like everything became clear at once.

Sigh, just with the way Lu Xu Nan is… Isn’t it simply very difficult for people to treat him as the opposite gender? Was there still a need to avoid this?

Seeing Lu Xu Nan’s fierce appearance, Ning Yi, as the thief, cried thief first, “I should be the one to ask you what you want to do by stretching out your hand, right? Really…Don’t move your hands and feet at people all the time! Men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, you understand?”

Seeing that the other person hadn’t reacted when she finished speaking, she ran into the house.

Lu Xu Na watched Ning Yi’s back, his right hand behind him clenched unnaturally. He tsked, “What was she up to? She even brought up not touching. We already touched eight hundred years ago. My mom said when you were in kindergarten, you had to hold my hand wherever you went…”

“Brother Nan!” Fang Ci ran out from the front door, chattering, “Why are you still standing here with a stinky face? I saw Ning Yi come in angrily just now, did you get angry with her again?”

Lu Xu Nan frowned as he pointed to his own face, feeling deeply wronged. “No, where do you see that my face is stinky? Also, is my temper that bad? I’ll get mad at people at the drop of a hat?”

Fang Ci looked at him without saying anything, but “isn’t that the truth” was written all over his face in large font.

Lu Xu Nan thought back on the attitude that he used to face Ning Yi with. He was silent, then said, “In any case, I didn’t get mad at her just now.”

Fang Ci sighed. Putting his arm around the other’s shoulders, he said, “Brother Nan, this face of yours is really handsome, but your usual expressionless face…At first glance, you look fierce, you know? A man should of course have this kind of dominance! But it’s a special time right now, we have to ‘take other’s good points and improve one’s bad points’. Am I right? Look at that Xu Xing Ji, he’s all smiley no matter who he’s facing, girls like just that! You look…why don’t you learn some of it?”

Lu Xu Nan stared at him for a long time, his pursed lips twitched, the corners of his lips faintly seemed to rise. At the last moment, they ferociously turned down.

He coldly snorted, flinging Fang Ci’s arm off, and left the other person with his callous and stubborn back. “Who wants to be like Xiao Xue Ji!”

Fang Ci: …Just with this attitude, it’s really too hard if you want to chase people. Really.

Lu Xu Nan stood at the front door looking in. He saw Nanny Tang was putting the dishes on the table. Ju Meng pulled Mu Wanqing as she sang to Ning Yi while shaking her head and Xu Xing Ji wasn’t there.

He thought of the other person’s smiley, fake appearance and what Fang Ci just said, and snorted again, unconvinced.

“What are you thinking about? Hurry and come in, dinner is about to be ready.” Le Baiqiu beckoned him from the living room.

Lu Xu Nan responded to her. He took half a step and suddenly froze.

What are you thinking about?

That’s right, it seemed like since they came back from the garden, he hadn’t heard what Ning Yi was thinking about the entire way back?

Obviously he could still hear her when he was in the pavilion before.

Lu Xu Nan frowned, went to the sofa, and sat down near Ning Yi.

Ning Yi, hearing the sound, turned her head to look at him, then very quickly turned back and continued to watch Ju Meng putting on a show.

Lu Xu Nan listened with rapt attention for a long time and didn’t hear anything. He couldn’t help becoming a little despondent.

Although this mind-reading ability originally came out of nowhere, and even came with a series of side effects, it was wondrously linked to Ning Yi in countless ways. Normally, he could only hear Ning Yi’s thoughts, but if there was contact, the ability could apply to other people as well.

If this ability suddenly disappeared today, then it would seem as if the unique and irreplaceable connection between him and Ning Yi had been cut by someone, inevitably making him feel regretful.

At the same time, in the Ning family’s first floor bathroom.

Xu Xing Ji locked the door. Leaning against the edge of the washbowl, he pulled up his left sleeve, revealing an ordinary looking fitness watch.

He pressed the side of the watch and a screen of transparent aqua blue light came out of the watch and projected onto the mirror.

Not long after, the blue light of the screen gathered into the shape of a person’s head with unknown gender. With the opening and closing of its mouth, rows of text appeared below it.

[S1653, identity verification complete.]

[Smart system has detected abnormal brain waves in the host’s brain. Do you need help?]

Xu Xing Ji: “No.”

[The system shows that the current plot progress in this world is 2, and deviation in the relationship between the protagonists is as high as 49, which is higher than the normal threshold. The predicted future plot deviation is 100. Is there any abnormal performance of the characters?]

Xu Xing Ji tapped his temples with his right index finger and middle finger, and replied, “No.”

[Alright, you’ve worked hard. If you need any help, please contact me anytime. The plot correction system is wholeheartedly at your service. Good bye.]

The image of the head dispersed into light again along with the words, blending into the screen of light. The watch beeped and the screen disappeared into the watch.

Xu Xing Ji propped his left hand on the washbasin and raised his eyebrows at himself in the mirror. He smiled, revealing a smiling expression that was completely different from usual. “Interesting indeed, no wonder no one has ever succeeded in so long.”

He fixed the collar of his shirt and washed his hands. Before opening the door again, the expression on his face had already returned to bright and cheerful.
