Chapter 796: Lu Chao, You Endangered Me!
“I know why.”
As Xiang Huai drove, he stared ahead. A sharp and dark glint flashed across his dark eyes. “It’s because your special power is enough to make any country or organization treat you like this.”
Xue Xi suddenly understood.
It was just like how the special department had opened up to her and had actually been trying to rope her in. That mysterious organization was the same.
Xue Xi blinked and suddenly asked, “If that mysterious organization offers me something too good to refuse, aren’t you worried that I’ll be tempted?”
“No.”
Xiang Huai said, “There’s one thing they can’t give you.”
Xue Xi was confused. “What?”
Xiang Huai suddenly turned his head and smiled charmingly. “Me.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She snorted and turned around.
Xiang Huai even asked, “Little kid, aren’t I right? Even if they have money, would they give it to you?”
“…”
“Without me, you’ll die!”
Xue Xi: “!!!”
The corners of her lips could not help but twitch as she looked at Xiang Huai. “So when I asked you to be my boyfriend for the first time and you immediately agreed, is that also the reason?”
“Cough.”
Xiang Huai looked at the car seriously and did not dare to look at her. However, he smiled. “Would you believe me if I said that it was love at first sight?”
Xue Xi: “No.”
Given her love for studying, how could anyone fall in love with her at first sight?
Xiang Huai may have sacrificed his looks to get her, but after that…
Love would grow over time.
It’s the same for her.
In the beginning, she had looked for Xiang Huai because of that “you’ll die if you don’t fall in love” curse. Her original intention for being with Xiang Huai was merely to save her life, so she had no right to blame him.
The two of them had been in contact for a year and a half and knew each other very well.
Xiang Huai was driving when he suddenly turned to look at her. His expression was dark. “Little kid, let me ask you a question.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Xiang Huai said, “If, I mean, if the special department doesn’t have me, would you still be willing to be a part of it?”
Would you still willingly join it?
Xue Xi thought about this question seriously.
In the beginning, she’d joined because of various events. Actually, it was not her original intention. After all, when Jing Fei invited her, she had rejected him.
What happened next?
After discovering that Omnipotent Boss was the boss of the special department, she indeed felt a sense of belonging to the special department.
If not for that, there was a chance she would not have joined.
Xue Xi shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Xiang Huai chuckled. “Mhm.”
Xue Xi paused. “Why are you asking this question?”
Xiang Huai looked ahead so that Xue Xi could not see his eyes. She only felt that his profile was well-defined and gave off a heavy feeling. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he only said, “Nothing.”
After saying this, he reached out and rubbed her head.
At this moment, Xiang Huai’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the call and Lu Chao’s voice came from the other end. “Boss, an esper has committed a crime in Bin City! Everyone in Bin City has rushed over! This person is from that mysterious organization. Are you coming?”
Xiang Huai’s eyes darkened. “Send me the address. What’s the situation now?”
Lu Chao said, “That person’s superpower is Dream Walk. They can give some guidance to some business tycoons in Bin City through their dreams and interfere with Bin City’s business operations. We also found another Dream Walker to invade those people’s dreams and found him. Now that this person has entered the mall, we’re following him.”
Xiang Huai nodded. “Mhm.”
After hanging up, Xiang Huai wondered why the people from the mysterious organization would suddenly come to Bin City. The girl beside him suddenly said coldly, “Canine Teeth said that there’s a special power called Dream Walk?”
Xiang Huai felt a chill on his neck and froze.
Lu Chao, you’ve endangered me!
“Please.”
