Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love
Page 914How would you react if someone close to you told you that they had superpowers?
Song Qingchun’s favourite drama at the time was ‘You from the Stars’. She was so submerged in the plot that she would often wish that her future half would be like Professor Du and have amazing superpowers. But that was merely a wish; she really didn’t expect that, one day,her dream would become reality.
Was it hard to accept? Of course, it was.
However, this hard to accept reality perfectly explained all the questions that had been troubling her. She could finally understand how he could console her without letting her know, and it explained why he would suffer the same injury as the truck driver.
So… If one was to follow this thread of argument, when Qin Yinan sacrificed himself to save her from the falling flower pot and not Tang Nuan, it was because of Su Zhinian? The night she was kidnapped, Su Zhinian controlled the driver to stab himself in his stomach to save her and Brother Yinan?
Incredible, it was truly incredible! There wasn’t a discovery more preposterous than this!
However, no matter how incredible or preposterous it was, behind these complicated feelings, there were also heartache and appreciation.
After Song Qingchun recovered from the cocktail of emotions, after she calmed down, she was left with plenty of disbelief and shock. She felt like she was dreaming. Her silence was torment for Su Zhinian. He knew that she was silent because she was contemplating the issues surrounding his superpowers, and what she said next would be her ultimate judgement towards him.
This was the most nervous Su Zhinian had ever been. Sweat was pouring down his face as if to prove that point. Just as he thought that he was about to crumble into a mess, Song Qingchun finally gave a response.”Su Zhinian?”
Su Zhinian stared at Song Qingchun and answered with a throaty “hmm” without opening his lips.
“Let’s go for a walk?”
Su Zhinian had envisioned this situation more than once in his mind. He had predicted what Song Qingchun’s reaction would be the day he revealed his secret to her. What would the first word out of her mouth be?
He believed, it might be a shocked question back at him. “You can read my thoughts?”
Or perhaps a more cautious, suspicious response. “This means I won’t have any secrets before you?”
Maybe a direct approach and cut their ties. “Su Zhinian, I’m sorry, but I cannot accept my partner knowing all of my thoughts every hour of the day.”
However, in all of his scenarios, he had never envisioned that she would say, “Let’s go for a walk.”
Su Zhinian was stunned as if struck by lightning. Similar to Song Qingchun’s stunned reply when she heard he had superpowers, he also answered with a “Huh?” filled with disbelief.
“I said, let’s go for a walk,” Song Qingchun said as she stood up, “I’ll go change my clothes. You’d also better prepare yourself. We’ll meet downstairs.”
Song Qingchun’s reaction was so out of his expectations that Su Zhinian sat dumbly on the sofa, trying to decipher a possible deeper meaning in her words. It was not until he heard Song Qingchun finish changing and walk downstairs that he quickly returned to his own bedroom to change into a comfortable, casual outfit.
In the car, Su Zhinian kept turning to look at Song Qingchun, as if expecting her to go crazy at any moment, but the girl was more collected than he predicted.
