Chapter 190 Bai Zini: What? My brother is a superhero (Part )
As Bai Zini and Ke Mingye questioned each other, the people in front of the rental house froze for a moment, like a frozen photo, blurred by the scorching summer heat.
Then, several people couldn't help but look at the two of them with strange eyes.
An Renchuan took a sip of water from the cup, glanced at the stunned Bai Zini, and then looked at Ke Mingye who had a dazed expression.
After a moment, he asked in a rather curious tone.
"So you two know each other?"
Ke Mingye looked at Bai Zini in surprise, then shook his head in denial: "No, no, no, we're really not familiar with each other." After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house as if nothing had happened, leaving Bai Zini standing there in a daze.
Bai Zini glanced at Ke Mingye who turned and walked into the living room, then looked at An Hong's brother, thinking about something.
"I'm really not familiar with you. How could you react like that?" An Renchuan shrugged helplessly and turned to An Hong and asked, "Come to think of it, I haven't asked yet, who is this girl who seems to know my friend?"
Bai Zini reacted quickly after hearing this and gave An Hong a cold look.
Under the threat of Bai Zini's gaze, An Hong scratched her hand and hesitated for two seconds, then said to her brother with a wry smile: "Ahaha, she is a classmate of mine, her name is Bai Ming..."
Before he could finish the word "wild", Bai Zini interrupted him with a red face: "Obviously, obviously you——!"
"what?"
An Hong and Qiu Xia were stunned when they heard this, and thought to themselves, "Senior, why did you suddenly change your mind? Didn't you just say you were going to call you 'Bai Mingye'? How come it changed to 'Ming Ming Ming you head' now?"
"Come here and have a chat!"
Bai Zini said anxiously, and quickly pulled the two of them and You Minglu together. The four of them put their heads together and held an emergency meeting.
The sound of cicadas filled her ears, and Baizini's brain was so hot that it was about to short-circuit.
At this time, he was even unwilling to make up a new pseudonym and directly revealed his real name: "Actually, the one I just said was a pseudonym. My real name is 'Bai Zi Ni', not Bai Ming Ye. Do you understand?!"
"Bai Zini?" An Hong murmured.
"So this is the senior's name." Qiu Xia said.
"Yes, Bai Zini."
Bai Zini paused and added, "Also, when we go in later, try not to mention the topic of 'magical girl'. Even if you mention it accidentally, you must say that I am an ordinary person. Got it?"
Qiu Xia and An Hong both nodded. They all knew that Senior Huijin would definitely not want his identity to be exposed, but was it too late to say this now?
During the years when An Hong's brother was still in a wheelchair, he had always listened to her talk about magical girls, and the story of Ashes was naturally among them.
Now that everyone has come to visit, An Inchuan could never have imagined that the magical girl Ashes is among the two girls besides Qiu Xia and An Hong.
You Minglu covered his mouth and yawned softly, then nodded belatedly: "I see."
"That's it."
Comrade Baizini declared the end of the temporary strategic meeting.
An Hong nodded again, then walked back to her brother and introduced him to her in a puzzled look: "Brother, this is my friend Bai Zini."
Hearing this, Bai Zini withdrew her gaze with relief. She hugged her right elbow with her left hand, lowered her eyes to look at the folding umbrella in her right hand, her thoughts so chaotic that they seemed about to explode.
She thought to herself: Fortunately, my brother didn't hear it, otherwise there would be Bai Mingye and Ke Mingye in this room, and I would be so embarrassed. When I get home, I would be verbally punished by my brother.
Also, why on earth was 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 also said that his brother was a superhero. Besides, he had been in a wheelchair for a long time before awakening his superpowers and never went out to make friends.
How did my brother know him? Could they have met online?! That's too much of a coincidence.
wrong!
The only thing that is certain is that besides me, there is another person here who knows my brother.
--little Red Riding Hood!
If it was Little Red Riding Hood who called my brother over, then everything would start to make sense. No wonder she was so insistent on me joining in, it turned out she wanted to teach me a lesson.
Damn it, it's so damned! If I had known, I wouldn't have brought her home!
Thinking of this, Bai Zini's back teeth were almost broken. She turned her head and cast a sharp gaze like a knife at You Minglu beside her.
You Minglu pretended not to see it. He just drank his Sprite quietly and looked up at An Renchuan and An Hong.
Jujujujuju How dare you ignore me? You must be guilty!
Bai Zini opened her mouth slightly, her shoulders shaking with anger, and asked as she thought, "Do you have a toilet here?"
An Incheon nodded and smiled, "Yes. Just turn right after entering the door. There are slippers at the door. You can change into them first."
"Okay, she and I are going to use the same bathroom."
Bai Zini held You Minglu's hand and said coldly, "Go to the bathroom" as if she was going to a life-and-death battle.
"Senior, I don't need to go to the bathroom. Go by yourself."
You Minglu shook his head and refused immediately.
"No, you need to go to the bathroom."
Bai Zini shook her head even harder than her, with a cold tone.
An In-cheon leaned against the door frame with his arms around his shoulders. He looked at the scene and asked in confusion, "Uh, so you girls all go to the bathroom together?"
An Hong and Qiu Xia shook their heads and said in unison.
"No."
As a result, after being nonchalantly glanced at by Bai Zini, the two nodded quickly and changed the subject: "Yes. We girls just like to go to the bathroom together."
So quickly, Bai Zini took off her shoes at the door, changed into home slippers, then pulled You Minglu out of the entrance hall, turned right at the corner and went into the bathroom.
Then he closed the toilet door with a snap and locked it. Then, under the dim light bulb, only Bai Zini and You Minglu were left.
Bai Zini's back was against the door, her right hand on the door handle. She took a few deep breaths before slowly raising her eyes from her hair.
You Minglu met her fierce gaze, tilted his head in confusion, and asked in a low voice.
"Senior, why are you looking at me like that?"
Bai Zini stared at her and asked in a cold tone: "What do you think?"
"Senior, you don't really want to go to the bathroom with me, do you?"
You Minglu slightly widened his eyes, covered his mouth, and hesitated to speak. "If you have such psychological needs, I can comply with them."
"Go away! Still playing dumb."
"What did I do to make you so anxious?"
"you are done."
"I understand. Is the Witch Church coming to hunt me down? I'm so scared. Please protect me, Senior."
The more Bai Zini listened, the angrier she became. She thought to herself how could this guy be so good at playing dumb, so she spoke word by word slowly.
"The Witch Church hasn't arrived yet, but that won't stop you from being finished."
"Senior, you said a few days ago that Witch Night was coming and asked me to run away. But today you want to kill me. You changed your mind and disowned me in less than two days. You are really an ungrateful woman." You Minglu was sad. "It turns out that a little girl who grew up with garbage in her mouth can't believe the words of a little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Little girls like us who pick up garbage and eat dirt every day only have a true heart left. It is normal to be betrayed."
"Get lost, you grew up with garbage in your mouth all day long, how the hell haven't you choked to death on it yet?"
Bai Zini was so angry that she felt suffocated. She thought that apart from Ke Mingye and You Minglu, there was probably no other person in the world who could make her so angry, and she couldn't do anything about these two people.
She took a deep breath, and after a moment's rest, she frowned and looked at You Minglu, and asked in a low voice: "What I'm talking about is, were you the one who called my brother over?"
You Minglu was stunned for a moment: "I thought it was the senior who called his brother here, but it turns out it wasn't?"
"How is that possible!" Bai Zini sighed, "There's a superhero and four magical girls here, why would they call in a Muggle idiot? Are they going to use him as a control group?"
"So how did he get here?"
"I was just wondering, was it really not you who sent a message to invite him here?"
"Senior, do you think that given your brother's personality, I can ask him out with just a text message?" You Minglu said calmly, "Excuse me, but from the first time I saw him, I felt that he was the kind of lazy otaku."
"You make it sound like you know him so well."
"Because I am also a lazy dog." You Minglu said seriously, "Lazy dogs can recognize each other."
"It seems to make sense."
Baizini nodded, feeling inexplicably that this statement was convincing.
"Even if I asked him to come, why did he act so surprised when he saw you?" You Minglu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to defend himself, "Isn't this very strange?"
"It's very strange."
As she spoke, Bai Zini hugged her shoulders, tapped her arms lightly with her fingers, and lowered her head in thought, "Since you didn't ask her to come here, then why is he here?"
"Rather than thinking about it, why don't I just text him and ask him."
You Minglu said as he quickly took out his cell phone from his jumpsuit pocket.
"I don't want you to ask. I'll ask myself."
As Bai Zini spoke, she took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her blue and white denim jacket, tapped on the virtual keyboard with her white fingers, and finally hit send.
At this moment, on the other side of the rental house.
An Hong walked into the living room side by side with An Renchuan, introducing him in a low voice.
"The one with short hair is Qiu Xia. I've shown you her photo. The one who just walked into the bathroom with Senior Bai Zini is You Minglu, the Lu from Lilu."
An Incheon nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I'll write it down."
He paused and asked hesitantly, "I know Qiu Xia. But are your other two friends also magical girls like you?"
"No, no, no, no." An Hong waved her hands and said quickly, "Bai Zini is not a magical girl, just an ordinary friend."
"What about You Minglu?"
"She she she she...she's a magical girl."
"I see."
An Renchuan then asked: "Does Bai Zini know your secret identities?"
An Hong thought for a moment and said, "Although we only get together occasionally, she knows our identities, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her to our home."
She had a strong desire to survive, and was afraid that a wrong answer would anger Senior Huijin when they got into a confrontation, so he would take out his magic umbrella and shoot at them.
"So that's how it is." An Renchuan murmured, and then asked, "Bai Zini seems to know my friend. Why don't you ask her where she has seen my friend?"
"Okay, I'll ask her later."
An Hong said this without confidence, thinking to herself, Brother, you are asking me to jump into a fire pit. If I accidentally touch Senior Huijin's minefield, I won't be able to survive!
Qiu Xia, who was beside her, hugged her shoulders and said, "What are you two siblings whispering about? Do you have to be so close?"
Ke Mingye, who was sitting on the sofa, echoed, "That's right. Brother An Renchuan, are you using us as tools just to show off your deep brotherly love?"
Hearing this, An Hong smiled awkwardly: "No, I was just talking normally." An Renchuan shrugged and said to Qiu Xia teasingly: "Okay, okay, then I will return my sister to you, and you two have fun."
As he spoke, he sat down next to Ke Mingye with a cup of water in his hand and asked in a low voice: "Comrade Blue Owl, so, what is your relationship with that girl named 'Bai Zi Ni'?"
"It's nothing." Ke Mingye said, "We met once. So her name is 'Bai Zi Ni'?"
"My sister said she's not a magical girl."
"Of course she's not a magical girl," Ke Mingye paused, "She she she... Never mind, I'm really not familiar with this girl."
An Incheon interrupted him and said with a laugh, "From your tone, it seems like you are very familiar with her."
"Let's not talk about her, let's talk about your sister." Ke Mingye said, "What are the backgrounds of her other friends?"
An Renchuan answered: "The short-haired girl next to her is Qiu Xia, the magical girl Feng; as for the girl in the jumpsuit, her name is You Minglu, and if I'm not mistaken..."
He paused and said, "She should be the Magical Girl Ashes."
"Magical Girl Ashes?" Ke Mingye was stunned and murmured, "Why do you think so?"
An Renchuan smiled and explained, "An Hong often mentioned the two magical girls, 'Ashes' and 'Maple', to me. Since 'Magical Girl Maple' is Qiu Xia, then Magical Girl Ashes should be this You Minglu."
You are so smart, brother.
Ke Mingye took a deep breath and thought to himself, you are such a genius to come to this conclusion. It will be a blessing to be your colleague in the future.
He thought for a while and said, "No way. Although the girl named You Minglu looks okay, she gives me a rustic feeling, like a country girl. Is she really the magical girl Ashes? She doesn't look like her..."
"That's probably it," An Incheon said. "To be honest, I was surprised too."
"Please, why don't you just ask your sister?"
"I'll ask you later."
"Speaking of which, Comrade Bai Yi."
"what happened?"
Ke Mingye leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Seeing is believing. Did you feel it? I told you your sister is a lesbian. The way she looked at that magical girl Feng was really tearing my eyes."
An Incheon took a sip of water and said disapprovingly, "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Even if it is true, I can't decide her sexual orientation."
"Is your family so open-minded?"
“That’s what it’s like to have no parents.”
"Oh no, since your sister is a lesbian, it doesn't seem strange that you are a gay." Ke Mingye said, silently moving his butt away from An Inchuan.
"Not really, not really." An Renchuan shrugged. "By the way, I really didn't expect you to be such a person under the mask."
"So what kind of person do you think I should be?"
Hearing this, An Inchuan lowered his head, scratched his chin with his fingers, and tried to describe what was in his mind.
"A middle-aged man with a beard and a strong sense of humor. He likes to cook and play DJ with his upper body naked."
"What the hell are you thinking about? You are gay, right?"
While complaining, Ke Mingye lowered his eyes to look at his phone, only to see a WeChat message from Bai Zini.
[Bai Zini: Brother, why the hell are you showing up at my classmate's house? ]
[Ke Mingye: I also want to ask you, why did you appear in my colleague's home? ]
【Bai Zini: Colleague?】
[Ke Mingye: We are just colleagues, what’s the problem? ]
[Bai Zini: What kind of colleague? What kind of job do you do? ]
[Ke Mingye: Summer volunteer work, helping old ladies clean up their yards, helping clean up the streets, etc. High schools have this kind of work, and if you do well you can get extra points, but otherwise I don’t have the heart to do it.]
【Bai Zini: Oh, so that’s how it is. You almost scared me to death. 】
[Ke Mingye: I am almost dying of embarrassment. How about this, I strongly suggest that after you come out of the bathroom, we pretend that we don’t know each other and just say that we have met before.]
【Bai Zini: Okay, then how did we meet? 】
[Ke Mingye: Just say that you kicked my dog on the street and we had a fight. This just fits your character of being uncultured, and it's very reasonable.]
[Bai Zini: Go to hell. (Panda puff face.Jpg)]
"I suddenly regret it..." Ke Mingye said, "Don't tell them my identity. Just say I'm an ordinary person and I met you when I was a summer volunteer. OK?"
"Seriously, where is the superhero magic girl social gathering we agreed on?" An Renchuan was puzzled. "It's meaningless if you do this. What's the point of everyone hiding their identities?"
Ke Mingye sighed, "Then you have to ask your sister why she brought someone who isn't a magical girl. What kind of socializing is this with an ordinary person?"
"Not necessarily, maybe that Bai Zini is also a magical girl." An Renchuan speculated in a low voice, "After all, it's too far-fetched to say that I'm just an ordinary person surrounded by three magical girls. And... looking at my sister, they all seem to listen to Bai Zini and even act according to her expression. Don't you think that if she is just an ordinary person, then this scene would be a bit strange?"
Hearing this, Ke Mingye was silent for a moment, then murmured.
"It seems a little strange..."
"Really?" An Renchuan said with a slight smile, "So if you know her, then ask her. Anyway, my sister won't tell me the truth."
"How can you be so sure your sister is lying?"
"We have been together for such a long time since childhood. I know all the little movements and expressions of An Hong when she lies."
An Incheon said calmly.
Ke Mingye sighed and secretly complained in his heart: "It's because your family's acting skills are not good enough. Unlike our family, there are a bunch of movie stars who compete with each other in acting skills. They don't even blink when they lie, let alone any little expressions and little movements."
At the same time, in the toilet.
"Senior, have you asked clearly why your brother is here?"
You Minglu looked at Bai Zini, who was relieved, and asked her.
"Summer volunteer. An Hong's brother is also a volunteer, so they know each other." Bai Zini muttered, "Her brother is really busy, he has to be a superhero and a volunteer at the same time, serving the people around the clock, right?"
"So that's how it is." You Minglu said innocently, "I told you that you misunderstood me, but you didn't believe me."
"Okay, okay, it's my bad. I'm sorry."
Baizini turned off her phone, apologized to her, put the phone in the pocket of her denim jacket, turned the door handle and walked out of the bathroom.
You Minglu followed behind her.
The two of them had no expression on their faces, and walked into the living room calmly, sitting down on the sofa next to Qiu Xia;
Opposite the sofa was another sofa of a different color. It looked as if it had just been bought, and even the price tag hadn't been removed yet - after all, An Hong and An Inchuan were both wealthy, and the salaries from the Tongmenghui and the Super Hero Association were much higher than those from ordinary jobs.
An Hong and An Inchuan sat on the new sofa, while Ke Mingye sat next to An Inchuan, and opposite him was Bai Zini who had just sat down.
Ke Mingye lowered his head to play with his phone, not even looking up at Bai Zini;
Bai Zini also tried her best not to look at him, and just whispered something to You Minglu.
"Speaking of which..."
Qiu Xia spoke casually, breaking the awkward silence.
She found a topic, "On the way here just now, An Hong told me that her brother is a superhero. Is this true?"
As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at An Incheon.
An Incheon smiled: "If I tell the truth, can you keep it a secret for me?"
"Of course." Qiu Xia's eyes lit up.
Ahn Incheon said, "Yes. I am a superhero."
"...Ah?" Ke Mingye was playing with his phone. He was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and said to him, "No, buddy, are you a superhero?"
Bai Zini originally wanted to hold it back, but now she couldn't help but raise her phone to cover her face, her shoulders trembling slightly from trying to hold back her laughter.
She thought to herself, this brother is so funny. Why would he make such an expression when he found out that the summer volunteer he just met turned out to be a superhero?
“Here is my ID card.”
As An Incheon said this, he took out an ID card from his coat pocket and showed it casually.
"Platinum Wings?" Qiu Xia's eyes widened, and he turned to An Hong and said, "Wait, Hong, why didn't you tell me that your brother is the Platinum Wings?"
"You didn't ask me either." An Hong smiled distressedly.
Platinum Wings?
Hearing this name triggered some thoughts in Baizini.
She had no impression of these fledgling superheroes, but when she was watching the news early this morning, she happened to see the news about the "White Wing Squad." It said that the dice monsters and weird things attacked the White Wing Squad, and two superheroes in the team were seriously injured, and the whereabouts of the blue owl were unknown.
However, by the afternoon, many photos of Blue Owl walking into the Chaoying Building were circulated on Weibo, and it seemed that he was fine.
So Baizini didn't pay any more attention to it.
In the past, she would have cared about this matter, but recently the strange creature hasn't bothered her much, and she almost forgot about this annoying guy, so she doesn't want to see any news related to it.
Qiu Xia's eyes sparkled as she continued, "Blue Owl is your teammate, right? He just officially announced that he had become a superhero two days ago, and then joined your Platinum Wings team."
An Incheon said calmly: "Yes, he is my teammate."
Ke Mingye pretended to be surprised and said, "No, buddy, you are so powerful? And you are the captain of a superhero team? Where is the honesty between people?"
As he spoke, he secretly typed on his mobile phone, then leaned against the table in the middle of the sofa as a cover, turned the mobile phone screen towards An Incheon, and touched his shoes with his feet to signal him to look.
An Incheon glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and saw the words written on the phone's memo: [I warn you, don't reveal my identity in front of them.]
Seeing this, An Incheon couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, saying, "Since the people sitting in front of us are all magical girls, they must also know the importance of keeping their identities secret."
He paused and said, "So I think no one here will reveal your identity."
"Mr. White Wing, who are you talking to?"
Qiu Xia asked, wondering who An Inchuan was talking to with these unclear words. It couldn't be the boy next to him who looked like a high school student, right?
"I'm talking to my comrades. We will be working together for a long time in the future."
An Renchuan raised the corner of his mouth and patted Ke Mingye on the shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, "You said so... Blue Owl."
The entire living room fell into deathly silence for a moment.
Then Ke Mingye's eyes went dark, and he covered his forehead with his hands with a "snap" sound. He slowly collapsed on the back of the sofa like a puddle of mud, and never recovered.
I'm asking for a monthly ticket at the end of the month.
